In which our heroes ...
Orhan 5 Day 23 TE 6065
We plot and scheme. Compass factory? or Kaitaine...
Aliance ships have been seen in Vajar and Itanis. Yup, they've both fallen
to the Alliance. Our spies say that Itanis has agreed in principal to joining
the Alliance.
We look for scentlessness potions, Haeraan finds a huge stock of them
for 1 gold each, after rolling a 66.
Haeraan tests one of the potions, it seems to work just fine. He can't
smell a thing. Hmm. Oathar examines the potions carefully. It appears to
make you scentless and also takes a away your sense of smell. Probably
permanently.
Haerann tracks him down. His name is Slick Dave. He specializes in selling
off damaged or defective merhandise. Usually made by apprentices at the
college.

We go to scout the compass factory. It is a dark and stormy night. Boom!
Rumble!!!
We evade shards. Oathar is injured but willing to press on. We need to
get passed the force field.
Haeraan determines it gets regular supply once every five days.
We watch.
Orhan 5 Day 27 TE 6065
Some KalCha come out through the forcefield. Oathar, Alynna, and Imre
Leave inside the forcefield when it opens for them. Inside is a giant
stone building, probably weird artificial stone. Its like we're standing
on an island surrounded by shimmering darkness. Oooh, we're standing in
a picket dimension. There's a portal gating sort of thing. Imre and Oathar
start memorizing the magical characteristics of the demi-plane while Alynna
investigates the roof.
There's a metal door on the roof with no camera. Alynna picks the lock,
but finds a security system.
When the KalCha come back. The portal opens, and Oathar and Imre leave
out. Alynna gets confused and short doors inside the building. Inside,
it's much like MIT. Lot's of long empty institutional cooridors. Alynaa
wanders around studying the layout, and looking in doors and the like.
Mostly offices. Desks scrolls books, etc. She finds the door that opens
into a giant laboratory. She does a very careful reconnasaince of the building.
Outside, we discuss the ability of demi-planes to generate promal base
and stuff.
The second floor is much like the third floor, with the core of the building
being labs of various sorts. Alynna counts people. There are a bunch of
offices, many of which are not occupied at the moment. There are about
20-30 people on the second and third floor, most of which are Dyar.
She sneaks down to the first floor (notes that the stairwell continues
further down). and finds a bunch of KalCha wandering around. No offices
on the first floor. Basement has big metal door with security camera and
a large electronic lock. There's also a bunch of power on the door.
As we wait outside, Alynna gets bored inside... Bored bored bored. She
goes into the auditorium on the first floor and tries to merge into the
floor to come into the basement floor. She goes five or ten feet through
the floor and bounces off of a force field (magic). She casts restore manuscript
on the blackboard to see what they've been drawing on it. She uses Spell
Lore to determines that they are probably doeing some sort of analysis
of advanced flow manipulation stuff using compasss to harness essense flows
and direct them rather than ride them. She memorizes it.
She also finds a guard station on the first floor with a weapons rack
behind it (swords) and a control panel with lights and stuff. As she approaches
it, it beeps at her. She starts running. There's beeping and alerts and
the like in Dyar. Alynna goes to the Auditorium to hide from the searches.
They search it and all the rows and scan and stuff. But they do not notice
Alynna.
The sky car arrives. It lands. The Dyar opens up the shield form the inside,
and Alynna appears on the radar, but we hear the alert signs from inside.
She teleports out and we teleport home...
Whew!
