[pnpgm] Game Update #138 - File #1042 - King gives info

Tue Jul 28 02:19:01 CEST 2020

After the Red head, loud woman says to not tell her what to do, Fremea just eyes her a bit, shakes her head, and tells her in Sidh, "I have no idea what you are talking about, but it would be fine with me to not deal with you anyway. Stop staring at me and I will be happy to leave you alone."

---------------------

Fremea shakes her head. She always knew she would have to come down here, though she was always told it was not good for her. Something about her gift could cause problems. Well, whatever, she was sure it was a lie anyway. So many of them were told to her and not enough real information.

First the "king" tries to tell her what to do and then Dorhak. She rolls her eyes at both of them, "I will make sure Pyan is safe, but I do much better when I can do what I do best. Not sure splitting up is the best idea though. And with the time difference, spending too much here could be dangerous. I leave back to the middle world anytime I want, though where I will come back is unknown and how much time has past could be a large problem also. I am unsure if I can take anyone with me though." Thinking of how she was not taught such things.

        [Recap]

   From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]

        Z'leyra frowns
and announces "I had planned to study and prepare …

        [She knows the
theory of how to return herself to the Middle World via spell, but
doesn't have the skill to take anyone with her.]

   GM: Ack. I did ask twice if stuff to be done before entering
mine. But as to spells kinda useless with no mana – forget? :) Also Z
doesn’t know where you are. Yet.

   From Opus: [Re: Actions]

        Opus looks
confused and whispers to Kimis something . The all …

   GM: Ack.  Did you want to control Kimis? Its fine the
way you did it but making sure for future reference. :)

   From Pyan: [Re: Actions]

        i was just
reading Fremea's IBT. Cound one of use make a crate atound the book that
randumly teleport anyone the touches it ang them aounf crate around that
one that hides the magic of the first one?

   GM: Ack.  A good plan.  But risky.  A good
magic thief stealer might sense the magic and try to bypass or end
it.  So while it'd be good for 99% of the thieves out there.
That one special thief like Fremea might stop it.  Oblivion would be
a good choice as well but again could be fooled.  There is no sure
way to protect magic if one desires it.  While most would be fooled
there s that 1%.  Even the Krill vault is not fool proof either but
its close.

   From Arawn: [Re: Actions]

"Interesting," Arawn said, slightly interrupting the …

        OOC:
I'll have Arawn skip warning the party about aging so as to not overlap
with Z'leyra's post. Just wanted to put something up to give
Z'leyra justification for warning the party about the Lower Realm.

     -----------------------

        [When Z'leyra
asks - "Anything likely to disrupt or prevent spellcasting
here?" ]

        OOC:
Scott, would Arawn know if the Lower Realms disrupt or prevent certain
magics?

   GM: Ack. This is a good topic for discord but we debated on
this for years in '80s.  Some felt it was 2 layers away from UW so
maybe a slow or less response? Or some argue its only 1 layer since
multi-verse theory would have it side by side. So I honestly feel there
may be a delay for some spells but not most.  Lets say for example
for the elder forces no delay.  But for those native to LW then
maybe a delay?  This is my first try at this in 35 years.  So I
wanted to do this once to get it done with and say it was done.  But
there is a greater reason as well plot wise.  So no.  In theory
magic should work.  If have mana :).

   From Arawn: [Re: Actions]

        With the warning
done Arawn turned to King Strata, dipping …

        "King
Strata, may I introduce myself. I am Arawn, an alfar and …

   GM: Ack.

        [New
Stuff]

        [Ma 9th,
1636TH]

        [Time:
Earlier during Vault tour...]

   Dorhak listens to Crix as he is 'shown' the vault that isn’t
there. Pretty fancy for a tetched, naked dwarf.  He decides, though,
that this may work. "Alright Crix.  This looks
sufficient.  So, I leave this book with you.  What do I get as
a guarantee that the book will be returned when we get back?"

   Crix nods, “if you return...but yes...if so desire.”

        [Time:
1:18 pm]

   "Interesting," Arawn said, slightly interrupting
the conversation taking place around him. There was a mixed look on his
face, both wistful and concerned, as he eyed the surroundings.

   "It would appear that we've crossed through a portal
into the Lower World, home to many Elder and Sidh creatures. Tread
carefully. This realm is not friendly to mortals."

   Glancing back down the passage Arawn added, "That was a
very unusual portal though I might be able to open it for our return. But
that's assuming it's not a one-way portal, rare though that might
be."

   Z'leyra frowns and announces "I had planned to study
and prepare before any trip into the Lower World. One thing we should
beware of is that time passes differently and upon getting back to the
Middle World time tends to have passed much faster and it catches up with
one upon the return. Many have stayed long enough in the Lower World to
suddenly die from old age when they return to the Middle World. So we
should get back soon, preferably very soon.  Supposedly there are
ways to protect against this aging. I do have some insight into Time
Powers and might be able to protect against this aging by use of a
spell."

   She looks at the Fae and asks "Anything likely to
disrupt or prevent spellcasting here?"

   Opus looks confused and whispers to Kimis something. The all
of sudden he Squats down in a cross legged position. He focuses and
concentrates for a few minutes while she massages his head slowly and all
the while with his eyes close he smiles. Then all of sudden he gets up
and speaks.

   “Ahh lol just like me auntie shaman did to calm me when when
I was a younger man.”

   In comical way maybe he points to Z'leyra “can you use the
rope to tie some one like a tether and then pull us back through the
portal by retuning back to the portal and throwing the rope back to us.
Since she would be spawned to my Home world with some spell this may
work. Perhaps some how tether the rope before the spell to another and
keep a Rope line.”

   Upus laughs at this odd idea that just came to him he
continues to say “Well if this will not work maybe If I stay here long
enough me Chief will die of old age.”

   Kimis laughs out loud.

   “When me Chief dies of old age good life for my self.” In a
change of emotion he switches to a more serious mood while continuing to
speak more direct,

   “Speaking of me Chief these demons that dwell here would
they have reason to trap us and the others that came first. What is the
reason for the portal. Is this ancient magic portal tied to those demons
that dwell here or other that do in these low places. I don't want to be
demon food!!!”

   He hugs Kimis she smiles and pats his head. She says, “I
love you.”.

   He smiles and responds, back ât “I know!”.

   Arawn turns to Z'leyra to reply to her comments.

   "Right now none of us are able to cast spells unless
it's done innately. And resting long enough to allow you to cast spells
again could throw us weeks or months into the future upon returning to
the Middle World.

   But if you're asking about magical items, that might depend
on the exact realm."

   With the warning done Arawn turned to King Strata, dipping
his respectfully towards the bes leader.

   "King Strata, may I introduce myself. I am Arawn, an
alfar and druid. We should take a moment to exchange information. It
might prove insightful in figuring out just what we've stumbled into.

   Might I ask, what have you and your men discovered so
far?"

   Later, after the group all went through what had to be a
magic portal, they come across what appeared to be the Besamar
king.  Waiting for Z’leyra and Arawn to speak, he goes over to the
King and inclines his head.  "Your Majesty, I
presume?    You an some of the others haven’t been here
long.  What can you tell us about where we are?  Why do you
call it the end of the world?"

   Dorhak isn’t especially worried about the time
difference.  Dwarves can come to the lower world just about
anytime.  Many do.  But these frail humans are a different
matter.  Stay here a year, exhilarating as it can be, would be death
for a human returning. Not sure about the faerry, but the tall elf would
likely be the only survivor.  Well, Barbosa too.

   “Your Majesty, your servant Crix has been trying to keep
your disappearance a secret from your people.  To them, it has been
almost two fortnights.  Your servants are worried for the realm with
you gone this long."

   The King looks at Z'leyra and listens in to Raddok's
translation in case he misses something.  “Wait..alfar?
Diumgi?  That long?  So what she said is true and what he
said.” He glances at Z'leyra and then Arawn.

   He becomes a bit worried.  “I believe we are here from
a ancient Best and Sidh coalition.  Come we don't have much time.”

   He moves the party past the “cage” to the threshold to a
larger cave. Along the right wall are large pictographs, runes and
ancient writing.  Arawn can recognize some ancient elven as well as
Fremea can recognize though not fluent in Faerry ancient
writing/runes.

   The cave is about 30 by 50 and about 12 high.  To the
left down the way about 40 feet it seems to be an opening.  It seems
a light blue/black light shines like twilight colors.

   “I can read the ancient Bes...It seems this coalition formed
a long time ago.  After a need to extract or get great
artifacts.  Of which I'm not sure.”  He turns and whistles down
the way.  “It seems this was a way station as the elves called it.
But it is not the way back.”  Two Best run down the hallway toward
them.

   “As to portal ..it is one way only.  We've tried to
pass through with no success.  This wall implies some key will allow
those who have it to leave or if I read it correctly go anywhere.”

   Fremea has a difficult time reading it as Etain only briefly
gave this lesson and she was bored.  But Arawn it seems he can't
read the Bes writing either but the Elven he can.  It seems this may
be a stepping place indeed.  But to where and how he can't
determine.”

   The king waves the 2 forward and whispers to them.  The
two Bes drop their spears and head down the way the party came from.

   “Outside its a world of its own.  We are on a side of a
hill and below are a large forest.  Some mountains are far to the
other side.  We estimate maybe 3-4 miles.  Scale is hard to
figure out.”

   Another Bes warrior approaches, “a runner has
returned.  He reports the mountains have a hidden cave...there is
more of that writing there.”

   The king asks, “the others?”

   “The other 3 have not returned from exploring the forest.”

   The King looks to Fremea, “you could be of great
value.  Could you fly and get better idea of things?”

   Dorhak frowns ordering his crew?  He is a king though.

        GM:
