Hyssop Home

Clifford summons a variety of B.A.S.E. agents to attend him at HQ. A task is delegated to them, to meet with some group of diplomats that are strange and asking after a B.A.S.E. agent that is a criminal, something about having to resolve it, but Clifford doesn’t want to miss the big Zug Zugger concert happening at Elko Arena that evening. So, thus tasked, the group is issued a one-use teleportation wand from Una, and a rock that was collected near to the meeting spot. This in hand, the group gathers around Myrrh, and simply teleports. Arriving to a point by the river, the party is directed by some Gith warriors to the spot, with silent hand-signs. Arriving, a tongues spell is activated by the leader of these yellow-skinned warriors. A discussion is had, wherein the Gith expect a certain ‘Pahhu’ to be turned over to them due to crimes against their people, which counted among them over a dozen murders and assaults.   The party of course declined to immediately do this, with the explanation coming out that Pahhu is to be put on trial, on the Astral Plane, and to be tried by the Queen of the Githyanki people herself. This is still not agreeable to the B.A.S.E. agents, even if they get to have half the jury on their side. So, with all that discussing happening as fireworks start to go off, fired from an airship flying around Driftriver, and the teeming sounds of a concert begin to flare up, Vaal just charges in and battle is joined against the Gith forces. Imna is almost immediately slain by the gith, her clone activating as an attack is being undertaken against Hyssop Home. The party out on the outskirts manages to narrowly squeeze victory out, with one Gith fleeing, the others dying horrible deaths.   In Hyssop Home, a skirmish is had, as the Gith are trying to make away with Pahhu’s Mirror of the Past relic from her room; and manage to do so, when their quiet escape is interrupted by Quinton, Simone and Imna, as well as the three keepers of the home still on duty. The Gith’s ship does a fly-by blast of the home before warping out, and the Gishes manage to plane-shift back to the Astral, mirror in hand.   The Mirror of the Past from Shifting Sands of Time (See Pahhu's entry for details) is stolen and it’s location unknown.   Hyssop Home sustained 1000 GP in damages when the fountain got blown up by a cold/lightning arcane cannon blast.   Pahhu is known to be wanted. And now B.A.S.E. knows it.   Dalgan picked up one of the Gith’s weapons, a regular greatsword. It’s owner’s family members -might- come looking for it.   Imna’s clone popped and needs to be replaced.

The party was dispatched by Pahhu into the Anauroch desert to deal with remnants of the Zuha Time Ascendant faction of Yuan-Ti. They arrived and quickly stormed the twisted temple to Sseth, finding a number of unstable time anomalies as well as some Anathema being developed into Time-Touched beings. Through sheer aggression and careful dispels they were able to rescue a number of Bedine tribesmen, losing only a single one to an unfortunate exposure to a time rift, leaving the tribeswoman rent to entropic dust. Though a few time elementals were encountered no one suffered their erosive entropic attacks.

The party stopped at the Thayan stronghold Undumor for a resupply and a nice night at the hotspring. After returning to the boat with their provisions they manage to make their through the next many days of their journey stopping in various towns to get supplies and have some time on land before continuing. The group is now approaching their destination and is about 4 days away from the island with the port city of Dune Stone.

The group finished their fight with the dastardly fiends that seemed to be ransacking the town, slaying all but one of them that managed to escape. The Arcanaloth seemed as if it was heading towards the mountain range to the northwest. The group decided to head back to their ship to attempt to track it down from the air. Zug, Imna, and Oriana decide to get some needed rest after their tough fight (LR for the 3 of them), While Sigourney, Adrum, and Kombucha kept watch for any trace of the Arcanaloth. After a few hours of flying the trio on the upper deck noticed a change in the air causing them to go on alert and look around. From what they noticed there seemed to be an area of pestilence in the land that was affecting plants, wildlife, and even the water. The group kept watch and after an hour of flying through the area they found themselves leaving the zone. The trio that was still awake decided that investigating the town was probably their best first move with the pestilent zone as a backup plan. The group arrives at the town having Captain Captain stop 600 feet above the town. Adrum and Kombucha both notice, in their weary sleep deprived states, that this new town of Lembasato also seems to be devoid of life.
