FG Notes

Grew up on the frontier, parents were farmers attempting to develop farmland in the prairies using athyrium.
Exposure to athyrium (and the many failed attempts to make farmland arable with it) led to desire to learn more about it, which is why I became a member of the Tinker's guild, after 2 years mandatory military service.

Only have 2 ships to their name. Had tinkerer Selphine (tiefling, part of Tokran's EE team). Golden Tide owned by Bertand Oles. Airship = Dauntless, water ship = Golden Lake (confiscated!)
* Definitely money laundering operation, probably organized crime.
- Vern's chest star threw dusty across the room. Symbol similar to that found at warehouse where children were being trafficked.
- Dusty's boss is Kurt Spangler. Tin men are kinda like gunslinger paladins.
- Maybe the smoke monsters are abducting the children.

7/4/20

Everyone sleeps at 6. Graven and Thulga wake up at 12.

Graven sees a man who is DEFINITELY related to Winston Bullock (carrying a cane)

Leann Calls him Nick.

* Being very thankful.

He apparently told Leann to give us free rooms.

He's a magic user.

Talks to Graven.

Winston bullock is playing with us like a cat?!

Nick Bullock gave graven a series of coordinates.

Nox is NOT an infernal Hexblade. She is not a feyblade (no elven master). Means she is either a servant of The Raven Queen (caonian goddess of undeath), arestian form of death. Steward of death/life/judgement. OR, sword is something else. Think back to ancients, who fought mysterious entity (forgotten ones in history books).

Drow on our ship. Captured. Confiscated 4 daggers with corrosive poision. He has the same star as vern, but carved into his skin multiple times. +1d6 corrosive.

* Document Tube
- Everything written in code. Sealed with black wax, raven's feather seal. Would take about an hour to break.

Cargo ship in dock 57: The Archimedes. Captain Nathan Drumond. Has the gear, 18k GP worth. MUST be sold to Kulors, or wait 48 hours. Has bracers of featherfall. Don't require attunement. ONLY SOMATIC requirement. 3 Charges. 15 GP each. Cannot be recharged. Only last about a month. I can figure out how to make them, but would have to destroy a pair.

Kulros has a medallion of stone, with some slits on the bottom. Pulls aethyrium out of the miner, and teases out the blue/purplish aethyrium (the corrupted aethyrium), Vern knows it's ancient tech.

Convert giant condensers into stake lamps, improve efficiency of personal condensers.

Umber hulk recently teleported, has void magic upon it, but not influenced by magic at all.

Touch parellium, vision goes black and white. I get darkvision! My eyes go catlike.

Found a piece of some ancient tech, made of spire metal, buried in the ground. We don't know what it does.

Return to mine camp, send child to get kulros. child is shot by Norm, who takes off with Kulros using sphere. Graven attempts to heal child, but mutation causes mutation in child. Child is healed with device Kulros had (an aligner).

Get 7k from Rufio.

* 1400 to graven (SELFISH)

Dusty at the corner of chestnut and granite blvd

Heading to orphanage to use aligner to heal orphan with aethyrium poisoning.

Smoke monster over orphan. Wants to talk. We open the dome, it becomes ALMA. She is decaying. Has a wound from Nox's sword. Was working for Alstead. Trying to steal ironwood from druids. Other thefts. He killed alma in the other plane and now she's stuck as a smoke monster/thing for eternity. Mother of orphan (admon). Has a small feather brand on her shoulder. Alstead is building device to use parellium. Device is in other plane but can use parellium in our plane. Locked up with crazy people dressed in cloaks. Act like a cult. Ranting about black stars? Stole orb artifact from mine (malfunctioning), shipping manifests, bills of ladind, placed documents in governor's mansion, stole money. Using dockmaster (has some leverage). The governor is his lover. Nox knows about the cottage. Loose floorboard under bed with all her savings (8k+ gp). Wants it given to the sister at the monestary. "They" are having a meeting tomorrow night. Alstread and cult at his house. Chestnut and granite. Bring her back to our reality, she collapses and turns to dust.

As vern heals admon, sister theras prays. Golden energy rises around her and speeds healing. She used at least 3 years of her life.

June flirts with nicollo via magic scroll.

We go to see the druids (Sammy and apprentice naela)

June attempts the queen's kiss.

Graven gets threatening note from Norm Alstread, indicating we can meet at the sunset bistro unarmed at 2PM.

We all meet up at the pink rocks ~Noon.

July 17 2020
*Visema playing with orb, holographic language similar to dwarven but not quite. Learning how to use the orb. Can manipulate time.
*Goldsmith - Orvo Westin (dwarf) - Elderly, white beard, bald, brown eyes, 3 piece suit. "Old Magic" Can make the runes glow. The artificer that made it was using runes. Dispersion is the important part. Can restart a heart. Uses green aethyrium to heal. Assistant looks 30ish (human age). Alice Westin. Traded Dyrn's tentacle whip for the repair. Will take about 12 hours. Pick it up tomorrow.
* Dusty is dead. > 3 people have been killed in this room. Runes in abyssal, written in blood all around the room.
 
July 23, 2020
* Enter caves, find aethyrium powered generator, runs off parellium, no corrupting energy. Probably parellium inside it. Harmony with orb. My hands move on their own, but I stop before I finish it. I complete the sequence. Vern and I are transported to a plane of dark smoke. Parellium there. Condensers flash blue immediately. Gyroscope type device made of wood, parellium in the center (suspended). Wood is infused with magical energy. Runes on device are the same as the orb and what Visema was reading from her orb. Almost heiroglyphs.
* Vern hears from Norm: Finding things from the spire. Learning things about the dark ones. Reaching the Apotheosis of our species that we should've reached long ago but that bitch got in the way. Dark Masters will be watching and will prey upon these "fetal godlings."

* On the way out, meet Jebediah Cross, Tin Man. Wants to have a conversation with Thulga. Accompanied by ravnagonian guards.
* Definitely ironwood. Can hold a lot of magical energy.
* Quantum entanglement field. Not in aethyrial plane, but in the weird sand or weird gray plane (vibrate between the 2). Aethyrium can transverse between planes at will. Parellium placed in alternate plane to eliminate mutational effects. Can transport machine and both planes will move.
* Need to stop the rings in the smoke plane to stop the power. Nox instinctively knows how to stop it. Return to our plane.
* Kulros will help us transport the "fusion" device, assuming we get Tin Man approval.
* Tin man wants us to go to spire of san d'oria. Airship can FLOAT!
* Tin man heals us all!
* Head of the tin men is Matthias Pearson. Family runs deep in ravnagon. Asked me to stay "critical" of everything I see.
* Dagger I found is a blnking dagger. +1 dagger (can throw up to 50 feet, and can teleport to dagger's position as a bonus action). Requires attunement.
 
7/27/20

Nox's sword grabs Leann's neice!

Pink rocks burns. Return to ship. Note requiring us to vacate Granport in 3 days.

Coordinates lie 30 mi SSW (similar to tinkerer's outpost)

Go to get breastplate. Orvo is polishing an old watch. Blue satin-wrapped package. Entire breatsplate is shiny blue. Dull glow. Green aethyrium canisters loaded into it. Runes dancing around it. Extraorinarily high level work. 3 Charges in it. Can use a reaction to regain 10HP. Can revive by using all 3 charges, back to ~20% of health. He has a PTSD issue with nox and blows up his fucking shop. We brain him, heal him, then escape.

Graven and Thulga go hat shoppping.

June sees a wolf with crystalline green eyes that follows her to the library. She learns some stuff about Nic (28th in line to the throne of San D'Oria).

I get posessed by a fae wolf. "It's only for a while I promise"

As I wake up I feel a snap of magical energy.

Lose my darkvision, I now have green eyes.

Got the money from kulros (3000).

Got 4 rounds for ship cannon from explosive lady

21 rounds for ship cannon from bullock for 100GP

1020GP for ship funding.

Generator delivered to ship.

-
7/31/20

Working with MITROS robots to get the generator into the ship.

Can set up the generator to siphon off red aethyrium

* will need ~300 Gold to get the equipment for this
* Only runs off parellium.
- 17 years of parellium, will have to bleed a lot off.
* Swear to join the crew, receive Bear Pin on my lapel. :-D
* I realize that in the smoke realm, aethyrium has to be organic. It's aethyrium locked.
* Travel to tinkerer's camp
* EE team went in this morning but hasn't come out yet.
- Same dude as before (Ion storm)
* Peta is the half-elf tinkerer there.
* Fight simulations
* Find ring of spectral armaments, can generate any weapon you're proficient with in your hand (magic, but not +1, just standard)
* Rig computer to work.
* There has been a break, this containment unit can no longer be salvaged. Self-destruct initiated. Vorghaunts must be stopped, even if "we" have to be trapped to do it. Tell my wife I love her, captain Oov, out.
* This was a power station that was attacked by the vorghaunts, and was teleported to somewhere the vorghaunts couldn't get to it.
* Nox sees a man in light that says "Find Me."
* Level 7 Access granted (via nox)
 
8/14/2020
* Get back to corridor, Nox enters and disables the light screens.
* Get an arm tattoo for access.
* Go Right in dungeon, find silvery jumpsuits like dragonborn from hologram was wearing. Coins with patterns like the tattoos (~50 GP worth) all patterns slightly different. Actually numbers (like serial numbers), similar to brand (has 7 written over and over)
* Dead people made premise of arrestia. She/It is a combination of many gods. Same people that made the spires (cradle altars). Original purpose was to kill the gods and create arrestia.
* Release ghosts. Find 6 jade, 3 sapphires, 6 diamonds. ~300 more of the currency.
* Unspoken are punishment for hubris for reaching into the other side. Yellow sky plane creatures.
* Other side was created by scientists by splitting reality. Sent ripples throughout deeper pockets of reality and caught the attention of the unspoken. They created a "sister reality" to feed off of ours. Arrestia created to help fight them. Arrestia is dead or dying because the unspoken are coming back.
* Need to go to a spire to figure out if we can repair/revive arrestia.
* Nox is a "sharl" what used to be an "in between bodies" state.
* Person near us has been possessed by an unspoken.
* Nox's greatsword was an unspoken!

8/19/2020
* Graven becoming more draconic (golden). I know that aethyrium poisoning can cause changes, but don't know how it affects changelings.
* June gets impaled by sword from baddie. Unspoken trying to take her.
* Thulga asks us to write down that we made arrestia to protect us from monsters, and she saved us when we were dying but we can save her.
* Nox goes to investigate the ship, gets stopped by guards. Leann and Nick Bullock taking something from the ship, and putting something on it.
* Captain Pensworth of the granport city guard.
* Leann possibly controlling Nick.
* Nick has the same mark as Vern did on his chest.
* They take our generator that we took from the manor.
* Can power the ship at current efficiency for ~20ish years.
* NEXT SESSION, ask Vizema about the Keys.
* My key is different from vizemas. Mine mostly spatial, hers mostly time based. Typically work in unison with each other. Typically work with other side (what raynia was referring to). The fact I can traverse to the yellow realm is weird and should not be possible.
* Learn how to teleport 20ft with the key (will improve with use) as bonus action. Must have 1 hand free to hold the key.
 
9/3/20
* Disguise metios robots (badly)
* Realize that Vern mentinoed a demon name when talking to Leanne.
* Bracers of featherfall - Can enchant something for ~1 week in about 1 hour of work. Permanent enchantment would take about 6-8 hours. Would require aethyrium. Spell slots or long rest right after.
* Punched through wall. Black claws.
* June talks to spirit and I get to observe. I see myself in 3rd person. See another presence "take center stage." I'm a useful carrier for where the spirit needs to go. It is needed there by a vassal of the queen. My face begins to turn into a muzzle, grow white hair, eyes change color. "I will not harm him." Does not mean I won't be hurt. Will protect me from harm. Growing in size. Werewolf! Athis.
* Arrive in Saldana (after Nox sleeps with scooter, lol)
* Talking to Nicolo. He references the Golden Tide, etc. Has "other bad news to share." His father if dying and there will be a succession. 390 years old?! Athis takes over briefly (but not as intenselyf as with june) to intidmidate Nick.
* Nick promises me some of his brother's shirts. At leas tone.
*
 
9/11/20
* Talk to Nic some. He suggests we might have to attend a ball.
* I get 3 shirts and get fitted for a suit (San d'Orian silk, done noon next day). Tailor has the same defensive stance as Nox (rogue), slips me a note. "We see you are not of this land. Have you come to help our cause, or have you come to stand against us." Red was feather seal.
* Thulga orders a grey cloak.
* Learn graven is planning a festival.
* June wanders into the forest, and is being followed by a black wolf, maybe fae. Transforms into bear for defense.
* Goliath buying drinks for Vern. Galdiran accent. Barbarians/Tribals. Wander into the forests between San d'Oria and Ravnagon. Vern feeds on him.
* Javier Magri(owner of the old chair) tries to get Vern to kill captain of spire guards (ex-lover, Lorenzo, not corrupt).
* Javier is higher level than Leanne.
* We end up fighting a demon, there's a RIVER of athyrium in the hole the demon came out of. Following the literal river. Maybe headed towards the spire?
* ~36 people from the town survive (of about 50-80)
* Dam in the leyline. Caused the prevalence of magic at Saldana.
*
