Magellan's reign of terror begins.

Orhan 2 Day 6 TE 6064

We should start heading to the southeast and see how close we can get to the next place.

Haeraan thinks about it, and decides that much of this portion of Jaiman is under the control of the Iron Wind. They've also started creating animal/iron wind hybrids. Winterwolves with rocket launchers, Mecha-yeti, that sort of thing. There are rumors of an iron wind/white drake. Bah.

Oathar thinks about back when he was worshipping the dark master. He casts Total Recall, and makes a good spell lore role. Being undead and mechanical makes it hard to control the hearts and minds of men. So, now we'll combine our machine skill and dark magic to mind control everyone in the northern half of Jaiman. Outer sites are feeding power to a central site which is more powerful depending upon how many sites are active. On the other hand, the more we destroy, the more prepared they will be.

We discuss for a while whether to charge the center or take out another outer site. Haeraan decides another outer site is better. Imre divines where one is to the southeast, and we try to figure out how to get 200 miles away.

We call upon a navigator and spend 1500 gp for a ride on an essence flow. We get an hour to prepare and restock potions etc. A Cypharia (Bene Geserit) shows up to bring us on our 1-way journey.

We show up on the edge of a big crater. Down in the crater is a bunch of Iron Wind guys. We stand around talking about the Cypharian who just left, but Haeraan drags us back on target. We long door down to the Iron Wind. We fight! Just a few of them, so we handle them relatively quickly.

Haeraan finds the cave entranace, Alynna gets healed up, and we head in.

We pursue into the cave. First we take the left passage. It leads to a pool of water that Oathar detects evil down within. It seems to be an undead Kraken.

We dive into the cold water to fight the undead Kraken. Yup, that's a Kraken. With a giant maw.

Kyrik attacks and chops a tentacle off. Oathar ice bolts it. A tentacle attacks Kyrik. A tentacle attacks Oathar. We fight! Oathar blows himself up with a misfired spell. Imre severs some tentacles. Everyone else chops like mad.

Then the Kraken dies.

Oathar finds vast loot down near the Kraken. Yay! Several bags of loot and treasure! Woo! 5000 gp plus a mess of items and gems.

We head down the other passage, and several iron wind are standing in front of the light. Haeraan goes into blindfighting mode. The rest of us avert our eyes. Kyrik puts a wall of dark in front of the light. We attack. Lightning bolt takes one down. Then we mutilate the rest of them. Oathar lightning blasts one but it jumps to Haeraan doing him 20 points of damage.

We finish them off, Oathar casts power analysis for the configuration of the ritual. He notices a flow taht goes east, and one that goes north. The north one is bigger. It's arcane. Oathar blows it up with a death cloud.
