Session 19: Kingkiller rumours & Indigo Island(edited)
The Chosen saw an opportunity to get ahead of the rumours of killing King Acastus.
So they travelled to Mytros & spoke with Queen Vallus. Returning the Rod of Leadership to her.
They went to the theives guild to use their system of rumours.
And asked me to write the story of what happened. Good thing I've been doing that since they met.
The Chosen then went back to the Ultros.
They spent time worrying about the Void Dragon they saw with King Acastus. Trying to find ways to protect themselves from Argyn.
“That circle of stars? It’s the constellation of the Queen, Mytros, the Goddess of Dawn. Some say those stars form a crown, signifying her status as Queen of the Five Gods. Others believe the stars represent the walls of a fortress, or the outline of a shield, for Mytros protects us from the ravages of the Titans.
“It was said she first appeared to the original settlers in their hour of need as a pale woman with kind eyes and silver hair. Soft-spoken, kind-hearted, she fought valiantly to protect them during the founding of the great city that proudly bears her name. She heralded the dawn of civilization on these shores, and that is why she is the Goddess of Dawn.
“But it has been many centuries since anyone other than her priests have seen her. Though she is silent, she has not abandoned us. She watches over us still, and that is what the stars truly signify: not a crown, or a shield, but the eternal vigil of the silent goddess.”
The Chosen arrived & found 15 young Dragons. John standing against 4 Dragons on his own.(edited)
After the dragons were defeated the Chosen sacrificed to:
Kyrah (oath of protection)
Pythor (Oath of Service)
Chalcea to remember her.
The Chosen asked if Sydon would have to be depowered & Oren snbickered. He mumbled that Kyrah would have to die for that to occur.
The Chosen after a couple of hours found the Dragon Lairs & the Hoards.
Hulgnir seeing that it would take a while, send a missive to Volkan. A construct picked up the Axe of Xander & 500 GP.
They got everything onto the Ultros & brought the parts to the Mithril Mines via Teleportation Circle.
Then took a trip to Mytros to sell things.
This resulted in Veronica now having the materials & gold for her Mithral Plate of Invulnerability. She's started her 10 days of crafting. She passed on her current armour to Pyra.
They found several items in the Dragon Hoard & after taking a few days to unload everything to the Ultros the Chosen were happy with their haul.

In the spell book.
Hamund's Harvesting Hands (RIT) level 1
Target a dead creature within range that has a CR of 3 or less. This spell conjures an invisible pair of hands that harvest that creature for any useful materials as listed in their harvesting table. No ability check is required to harvest these materials, the hands automatically succeed in harvesting them, and then place them next to the creature's carcass. You still need to provide any requisite containers such as vials or bags, but the hands harvest all materials in half the time it would normally take. You may direct the hands to harvest certain materials first. Once all of a creature's useful materials have been harvested, the hands disappear.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the CR of the creature harvestable increases by 3 for each slot level above 1st.
While working on getting the Dragon Hoard back to the Ultros, Hulgnir was struck with a vision.
King Acastus's body lies before Hulgnir when suddenly two glowing orange orbs appear where his eye were & he sits up. Obviously undead. With the Stygian follower of Lutheria, Chondrous standing by his side. A huge void Dragon behind him.
The Mithral Mines upgrade to level 4 was paid for. Construction has commenced.
Euadne would point out that the Mithril Mines could make them a suit of platemail or half plate that protects against petrification, using the gorgon hide they have. 14/8 days 1400/800 GP. They have 3 hides at the Mithral Mines.
She'll remind everyone that her aunts share her & her mother's curse.
So while they have 4 vials of Gogon blood available, Euadne suggests maybe finding more substances that restore petrifcation so save their spell slots. She's heard Basilisk blood has similar traits & Estoria uses basilisks that have a home nearby.
Sword of Giant Slaying +1
Location of the Gnoll Tribes. North top center.
While discussing Themis all together.
Moxena made several points:
1. I have two plans from her time split that may serve of use.
A. I allied with Gnolls when I was cursed.
B. I made allies with some Amazons on Themis.
2. I recommend using those allies to attack & distract that main Amazon forces. That leaves that forces in the capital & jail. Those were considerable in my days.
3. We need to see the Gnolls face to face.
This part will be difficult. I may not be able to do so, the Gnolls have different Oath to Thesilea than the did Hippolyta. You heroes will have to convince the Gnolls to help us.
4. We send a message to The Amazons who were with me.
5. Then we attack Themis & we slip by into the jail. We rescue my sister wife, Darien.
6. We take out my sisters, Euadne's aunts, in the Capital.
7. We put Darien & me on the throne.
I'm coming with you. Kyrah is staying here.
I think that the force should be small: no mounts, companions, familiars or Dragons. I think eight is best, since I know there is a spell that can bond that many telepathically.
Pyra suggested everyone have an adamantine weapon.
Oren suggested they use the Rogue Bow, Rogue cloak, & Rogue suit. Offering his services. He'll offer to use the Rogue Bow, & practice using it (I have to code all the abilities.) Oren suggests Theron seek Veronica to purchase a Mithril chainmail from her.
PC (5): Euadne, Ollidak, Jekkar, Hulgnir, & Theron.
Required NPCs (1): Moxena, Oren
Remaining NPCs (pick one): Pyra, John, Bullbug, Loreus, Steros, & Kyrah.
NPCs unavailable: Veronica, working on her Mithral Plate mail of Invulnerability for 10 days & then spend another 10 days working on Euadne's Robe of the Archmagi. (She can also make a cloak of invisibility you have the parts, 10 days & 20,000 GP.)
PCs with things to do on Themis
Euadne & Theron help Moxena/Darien
Oren his epic path item is with the Amazon Queen.
How will the Chosen of the Oracle face Themis? (Theron, Oren, Moxena, Euadne, Ollidak, Jekkar' +1)
Will Pyra help with aura & smiting?
Will John help with resistances & rage?
Will Bullbug help with his increased damage & his advantage with mazes?
Will Loreus the Satyr, or Steros the Obvious Traior, be called upon?
Or will the Chosen call upon their favourite goddess, Kyrah.
[16:36] ClacketB (Euadne): Eudne would be able to cover the sneaking portion, "Seeming" works aslong as the party doesnt cause undue attention. And the prison itself is a maze like place most likely. Personally, if were fighting a hydra Eudna would suggest Pyra or John, Pyrah because general sturdiness and auras, and john for his damage soaking. As the hydra has many heads. Pyrah also has the ability to smite which negates his less damage soak compared to john. But this is assuming we dont need bullbug for the prison... :/
[16:44] ClacketB (Euadne): The main issue is finding the right cell in the prison, and coming up with a plan to getting into the prison without grabbing attention. "Seeming" is only DC 17 Investigate (Int) sadly, though it does require an action and intent to scrutinize.
[17:51] Jekkar (Tide): Possibly Volkan could craft us items of true polymorph?
[17:52] Jekkar (Tide): Rings that would make us females as along as we're wearing them?
[18:18] Theron ((Marswipp)): That would also cause all sorts of problems.
[18:26] Jekkar (Tide): How so?
[18:53] Theron ((Marswipp)): The penalty would be death.
[18:54] Jekkar (Tide): I thought the penalty was death no matter what we did.
[18:54] Theron ((Marswipp)): Hm... Point.
When asked about items of polymorphing Volkan would point out that there isn't a shapeshiftinf creature amonst the parts he has. IIRC. Asking if there's something like that in your possessions?
Oren reminds the Chosen that he has daggers that essentially allow one to see through each other.
30 September 2020
[09:49] MyrddinEmyrs (Phil): So on the Ultros the Chosen have in their possession many magical items that have been forgotten about so I shall list what I can remember now.
Amulet of Health (new health is temp hp) (A)
Immovable Rod
Longsword of Giant slaying
2 alchemy jugs
Praxys of Pandemonium
Deck of many things
Horn of Balmytria
Sea mariners armor
Rogue suit
Rogue cloak (A)(edited)
[12:34] ClacketB (Euadne): Hmm, is gorgon plate mundane or magical? We do need that i think?
[12:39] ClacketB (Euadne): Also, the deck of many things is an easy way for some desperate person to gain alot of levels should they feel its worth the risk. Though if we go about that tactic we should be at calm location and use it in a planned manner with prior agreements knowing the risks. And since im curious, what can be made that we need currently from the forge?
[12:41] Jekkar (Tide): I should have one of those alchemy jugs, and I'll take the immovable rod
[15:36] Theron ((Marswipp)): Theron will probably attune to the cloak.
[19:19] MyrddinEmyrs (Phil): Since I'm doing milestone I'll come up with another effect for the leveling card. What can be made is up to your imaginations & ingredients. The second I give a list is when you only make that.
[19:19] MyrddinEmyrs (Phil):
Jekkar Okay.
You already have the Jug on your character sheet.(edited)
[19:20] MyrddinEmyrs (Phil):
Theron ) keep in mind that if you unattune from the bridle your bond with the Pegasus will break & it will leave.
[20:03] MyrddinEmyrs (Phil): Ring of spell storing (4) (A)
Mace of Disruption (A)
Scarab of protection (A)
Burnished Dragonlord coins (Oren is debating their use as keys for Guards & Wards.)
Half elven plate +2
Staff of thunder & lightning
Wand of sandwiches
Winged boots (cursed)
Crown of laurels
Game of 20 squares
Silver raven wonderous Figurine
Golden apples(edited)
[20:06] MyrddinEmyrs (Phil): Arrow +1 (20)
Unbreakable arrow (20) [only ammunition to not lose its msgic after usage]
Blindfold of truth
Potions:
3 kinds of healing potion + eternal apples
Climbing
Heroism
Resistances: fire, lightning, necrotic, poison.(edited)
[23:25] MyrddinEmyrs (Phil): So now that everything communal has been listed people can start thinking about plans.
Theres a lot that could help Kyrah & friends that hasn't been used yet. Like the Horn of Balmytria, & the immovable rod.
