Operation Details

  Aujirgix: The Jim's had a partially finished project that Command wanted us to test prior to the moonwell raid. After traveling an extended distance, we deployed the object for testing, discovered the majority of its functions, and returned to camp after ascertaining it's combat readiness. I believe there is more hidden functionality to be discovered, but that will require spending more time with it post raid. Details are intentionally left vague to keep wandering eyes and ears in the dark prior to the raid.   Activity Log:
  • Traveled several miles northeast of camp
  • Deployed device and inspected it thoroughly
  • Methodically determined device functions
  • Combat tested device against a few creatures on return trip to camp
  • Securely stored the device for later use
  • --------------------   Arden: We took on the mission to test a mysterious apparatus the Jims provided to the camp in a magic bottle. We were told it could have a significant impact on the Moonwell raid. Since we wanted to be clear of the camp and away from prying eyes we traveled to spot along the coast just north of Cobh. We also found the wrecks of a few small boats/rowboats along the coast that belonged to a dwarven trading company. I packed away the signage we were able to find for further study. Maybe we could contact this trading company. We set up in a small clearing and underestimated the amount of room the apparatus would take up. I almost got flattened by a bloody falling tree!   After hours of investigation we managed to figure out almost all the basic controls of the apparatus and tested it on some goblins and animals nearby. There were at least 1 or 2 advanced functions, including a self destruct, that we did not figure out but PocketJim has been immensely helpful. PocketJim seems to inhabit the apparatus and could be summoned with the push of a button when the apparatus was powered. The apparatus was powered by casting spells (that consumed a use or spell slot) while within. There was also a method of powering it through blood sacrifice... Hopefully that is never needed. After we finished with all the testing we brought it back to camp and put it in a new magic bottle to await use during the raid.
