In Ashguard Garrison, a perpetual night had fallen in a 10-mile radius. When questioned, though, the king and queen said they didn't know about any beacons-- though someone named The Tumblecarves might know. Xenia cast Cloud kill on the hole left by the purple worm. > > We were heralded as Heroes of Uthodurn as the news of what we'd done spread quickly. Xenia copied the teleportation sigil at The Vellum Steeple and identified a potion of possibility and a Staff of Dunamancy. That night, Milla got a Sending from Murenne, the arcanist at Palebank. Murenne said that Gelidon laid waste to Palebank and captured her brother. ^summary %% ## Video [Private Video](https://youtu.be/pi2KoZWhc2c) [TWC Video](https://youtu.be/VKApBAEUrm0) Notes: https://notes.nicolevanderhoeven.com/ttrpgs/Temporary+White+Circle/140_20240730+Heroes+of+Uthodurn 00:00:00 Banter and catching Nicole up on last game 00:03:30 If I were 12, Andy'd be in trouble 00:03:58 Recap by Goldfish 00:09:17 Andy doesn't remember putting a ring on it 00:10:13 Grapple train, and I have a gremlin 00:11:23 Start of game, Xenia's turn - HDYWTDT 00:21:12 Milla's turn (ray of frost) 00:21:40 Pop culture - Madonna 00:23:04 Ray of frost doesn't like sex 00:24:10 Sage's turn and Andy cannot stop interrupting - HDYWTDT 00:26:43 Tyler actually used my flowchart 00:27:03 Goldfish is in a stupid mood because he's happy 00:28:42 Andy is back and cute 00:30:02 Andy's mobile flourish 00:33:46 Combat over, searching bodies 00:34:04 Andy and Murathan show off my gifts, naughty Nicole 00:37:10 The baddies have families and kids 00:40:03 Sage gets a mass broadcast 00:41:40 Xenia reads plans of attack 00:43:30 Um yes, Goblin? 00:47:39 Andy calls me dear 00:49:55 Nika looks down the hole, Xenia kills everything in it 00:52:57 The worm stretches out inside the hole 00:57:33 Questioning the diarchs about the beacon 01:14:20 Break - and Aelar receives the diarchs 01:17:42 I'm distracted and Andy notices 01:21:40 Making my way 01:26:30 Identifying items 01:36:40 I'm distracted again and Andy watches 01:38:17 Long rest 01:39:40 Goldfish calls ME Goldfish 01:40:40 Sendings with Telva 01:44:59 Sendings to Milla 01:48:53 Recap and we're stopping early %% --- ## Recap ![[139_20240723 One big game of chess#^summary]] --- ## Log We win the fight! - 610 gp, mostly on the mage. - potion flask on one of the knights. It's clear and has two tiny gray beads - Staff on the mage with runes - Plans of attack, Squad X - Uthodurn, Rexxentrum, Zadash, Rockguard Garrison, Ashguard Garrison I hear something flooding in my head, a mass broadcast to all Augen Trust agents. I've only heard something like this once before, when they were testing it. - Voice of Commander of the Augen Trust: There have been multiple attacks across the Empire. Check in with your superior. - Rockguard Garrison - Ashguard Garrison - Zadash - Rexxentrum Sage cast Aid on Sage, Wally, Nika. #sending to Telva. > Uthodurn's been attacked by Kryn who believe the Uthodurnian diarchy have been keeping a beacon. Response: > Uthodurn too? This is bad news. We have been given the same messages. It seems to be a coordinated attack. Over at the Ashguard Garrisson, night has fallen for ten miles in every direction. The Kryn seem intent on gathering their beacons. You must do all you can to defend them and to find them. Nika casts Darkvision and looks down the purple worm hole. Xenia casts *Cloud kill* into the hole. I cast *Detect thoughts* and ask the Queen if they know anything about a beacon. She says they don't know anything about them. The Queen is thinking of [[The Tumblecarves]]. - They're less scrupulous members of the Uthodurnian society that are a bit dodgy. They're collectors of artifacts. If anyone were to deal in beacons, they would be the ones. The queen said the king has read that the beacons are some sort of religious artifact. We're in [[Luddenbrock Mines]]. There's a carving of an elven tree. The king chants something in front of it and it opens up. There's a passageway that leads to a small statue of a tree and there's an escape tunnel beneath it. It leads to a gate in [[The Deliberation Disc|The Liber Disc]]. Guards are trying to keep the crowd calm. [[Aelar Moonwhisper|Aelar]], the captain of the guard, receives the diarchs. He thanks both [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Moradin|The All-hammer]] and [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Melora|Melora]] for their safety. He thanks us for both [[Uthodurn]] and the Glassblades. Aelar suggests that the Temporary White Circle spearhead the investigations into official and unofficial ledgers for anything about the beacon. He'll send some men to investigate the hole left by the purple worm and seal it for the next two hours. They make an announcement that the diarchs are okay. They don't mention the Kryn. They make it sound like it was just some stray purple worm. Xenia identifies objects. - [Potion of Possibility](https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/1434355-potion-of-possibility) - Staff of Dunamancy > [!tip] Staff of Dunamancy > > Staff, very rare (requires attunement by a wizard) > > Damage: > One-handed: 1d6 B > Two-handed: 1d8 B > Properties: Versatile, Requires Attunement > Cost: ⏤ > Weight: 4.0 lbs. > This staff of polished gray wood bears numerous runes carved along its length. The staff has 10 charges and regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff turns into dust and is destroyed. > > While holding the staff, you can use an action to expend 2 or more of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC and spell attack bonus: fortune's favor (2 charges), pulse wave (3 charges), or gravity sinkhole (4 charges). > > New Possibility > If you are holding the staff and fail a saving throw against a spell that targets only you, you can turn your failed save into a successful one. This property can't be used again until the next dawn [[Cathadoc]] from [[The Vellum Steeple Archive]] is there. She has heard about what happened. She's definitely much nicer to us. She was snootier earlier. There are [[Glassblades]] there. She's very grateful to us for saving it. Xenia copies the teleportation circle. She asks us to let her know before we come though. We go back to [[The Broken Stool]] and take a long rest. I cast Aid again on Wally, Nika, and Sage (sixth level). #sending to Telva: > The diarchy is safe. We do have a lead on one of the beacons. If you have information on any of the beacons, please let me know. She responds: The Augen Trust think that [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/The Cerberus Assembly|The Cerberus Assembly]] have a beacon and they would suspect that it's in [[Master Doolan Tversky]]'s lab or in [[Trent Ikithon]]'s domain. They don't know about any other beacons. - Kryn have 6 - Empire has 2-- they think the Cerberus Assembly has one but they don't know where the other is. - 1 is still to be found. I also tell her about [[Archivist Demid Sunlash]]'s theories about Asmodeus. She doesn't entirely understand or believe me. Milla gets a Sending. > Karmilla. This is [[Murenne]]. I am with [[Marjani]]. [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Palebank Village|Palebank]] has been attacked. [[Gelidon]] has laid waste and taken your brother. Hurry. We think that Asmodeus split himself into nine shards to get past the Divine Gate. The religion of the Kryn was created to bring them together. But we don't know what then has to happen-- do we just bring them together, or is there some sort of catalyst that is a tear in the fabric of time and space that Asmodeus can use to get back. We want to look up the Tumblecarves. Options - Go north and find [[Master Doolan Tversky]]'s lab - Go to [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Palebank Village|Palebank]] and kill [[Gelidon]] in [[Mythburrow]] - Go to [[Ashguard Garrison]] to Wally's father - Chase down [[The Tumblecarves]]. No game for the next two weeks. Next one is in three weeks, August 20th. We level up to Level 15! %%2 # Text Elements # Drawing ```json {"type":"excalidraw","version":2,"source":"https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/releases/tag/2.0.25","elements":[],"appState":{"theme":"dark","gridSize":null,"viewBackgroundColor":"#ffffff"}} ``` %%
