In which our heroes ...

Haeraan clarifies that is it Barrin and not Prince Rylec who has the amulet of Haeraan's order.

Alynna sets the Omni-weapon to +15OB, +10 RRM, and +5RRC.

Oathar investigates the theft of his evil order's Book of Talaus. The leading candidate is Andraax. It's likely kept right there at Nomikos. Only the Head Librarian can let people into the artifact collection. Magister Kalendris should be available in a month. We could probably speed that up for 10,000 Gold.

Haeraan asks for some more dreams: ("it" is the event we're being warned about in the dream about the Ark of Worlds)

1) Can it be averted?

2) What should we do to prepare for it?

3) To whose advantage is it?

The five of us are standing at the top of a hill, and it's winter. We're dressed in odd skin-tight uniforms. There's a strange yellow metal shaped tube-like thing with stubby fins. We push it, it starts sliding down, and we all pile in, and we start whooshing through this tube of ice. We realize that the important thing is to hang on tight and not fall off. As we rush along, we reach the Finish Line. Suddenly, this big orange barrier pops up in front of us. We note once again that it's important not to fall out. We scream and panic, and just as we hit the barrier, we reach out our hands in supplication, and then we're back at the top again. And we go zooming down again. We think we might be better this time, and we (maybe) get to the finish line before the barrier pops up.

We decide to get back to the Iron Wind. We teleport back to Kelfour's Landing. We get a Navigator (a crotchety Pathmaster of Hulgan) and pay him 1500gp to teleport us to the next undead haven. (Subsidairy station.)

We're in a small northern valley. There is a stream running through it, passing a small cave down in the valley. As we get down there, we notice that the stream heads into the cave. That's suspicious, but Det Enemies (Undead) doesn't reveal anything.

After several tracking fiascos near the cave mouth, we head in looking for undead. Or Trains. Inside is a large cavern that has been flattened out. There are weird metal frameworks, and crates, and the like here.

Oathar opens some crates: one is empty, a couple have a large metal pieces in them. Some more are empty. One explodes in Oathar's face. Damn Elven Splodey powder. The rest of the crates contain junk. The strange metal parts were made at the central ritual site, a couple of months ago, made by the undead. Haeraan does vision behind and sees a big metal train and a door opens and a bunch of iron wind get in and go back out the way we came in.

Kyrik notices a hole at the bottom of the pool. Kyrik scouts. He finds a long tube down with a bunch of handholds and the like down here. It eventually pops up in a pool elsewhere. Kyrik gets shelled a little. He teleports back up to us.

Then we teleport Haeraan in. He gets shot a bunch, but his morningstar of aegis defense deflects everything. Then Kyrik and Alynna get teleported in. Fighting commences. Then Oathar and Imre teleport in. More fighting. There appear to be six of them in here. We mostly take them. Anyone that is not engaged gets to shoot splodey bombs. Oathar lightning bolts the last two jsut as they start their "protocol"...
