Orhan 3 Day 69 TE 6064

We go to SelKai to look for more scentlessness potions. But they have nothing.

We buy some healing and neutralize poison potions.

Haeraaan goes to Veriak to ask about throwin Lorgalis' daughter, Shentira Vortaen, off his trail. There's probably a file on her on karalon. Veriak gives Haeraan an amulet of non-detecting. He drops off the net.

Oathar rushes around setting up a nice dinner for his wedding anniversary tomorrow night.

Kyrik and Alynn ago to Karalon to look up Shentira Vortaen. She's 3/4 dyar, 1/4 LoE. Cleric of some sort, but has fine fighting skills. She favors long dagger and shield. Often wears Black Eog Plate. She's a babe: 101 Appearance. Blue/violet eyes. It's unconfirmed, but has been seen casting sorceror spells. They update the file with her recent activities.

Orhan 3 Day 70 TE 6064

Oathar has his anniversary dinner and presents Arisia with the diamond necklace he picked up in Rapata. They have a nice dinner and stay in the inn for the evening and a fine time is had by all.

Orhan 4 Day 1 TE 6064

We head to the desert bridge cave (via the bookstore in Rapata).

We cast Whirlwind and blow the sand around. We uncover 4 skeletons, gold and silver coins, some well preserved weapons and a pair of knapsacks. Leaving a knapsac up to us we get a potion and a small metal box, and another potion falls to the sand. the small metal box is not easy to open. Inside is a velvet lining. Inside the puzzlebox is three herbs (fracture repair, bleed, some other healing herb),

Oathar drinks the potion of giantism. (Don't ask) Oathar gets the other backpack. Some gold, rope, spikes, etc. Also, a loot bag. Inside the loot bag, which is heavier than it looks, is 5 objects inside: Sword +10, Bicycle, Set of Acorn Bracers, Scroll Case, Wooden Box (mapping, writing desk). Oathar takes the bag of holding. ("You can never have too much extra-dimensional storage space.")

We fight the spiders. We find two more backpacks. One has magic handcuffs (casts calm on wearer). The other has a pair of ivory figureines (one man one woman), book (Adventurer's Diary), short metal rod (torch).

The diary indicates they investigated the stream in the forest sphere. There was a rocky outcropping there with six wooden thrones. That's where Jim died. They came in though the day and night chambers. The bridge is set 30 deg off the entrance, like on our map. A bunch of crystals in the day sphere. The Ocean sphere bridge was broken, and something about damn sharks. The frozen sphere had snow demons. They describe a small sheltered valley on the NW edge of the isle witha cave entry that leads down to the "Earth warden entrance". In addition to the passage that leads to the bridge cave, there was another that seemed to go north under the water.

We apply scentless potions and head across to talk to the animists.

There's a island in the center of a small rocky cove. Steps lead down.

Alynna calls out to the island, "Come Boat!" IN KUGOR! The rest of us cringe.

The boat comes towards us containing two Erlin in the boat. The get about halfway, and say, "Leave! You are not welcome here!"

We speak a bit and mention Irkugor, and they say, "You are not of the chosen, leave here!"

We are told to leave many more times and then decide to go. "He who made this place charged us with preserving it."

Oathar looks around the island remotely, and sees a cottage, and another boat, and a half dozen of constructs of metal-like humanoid golem like things with a bunch of saws and hedgeclippers and the like instead of arms.

We leave.

We head around to the other side to find the earthwarden entrance. We head to the NW corner of the isle of bridge caves and go into the little valley and cave entrance. We head into the night cave. We head around to the side. When the door closes, the sphere lights up with the night sky of Kulthea around us. It shows the exact configuration of the stars "Right Now!"

We head to the day sphere. It's bright in there. A large section of the right bottom of the wall has numerous crystal formations. Clearly the crystal has been mined. The original bridge is broken, but a rope bridge replaces it. They appears to be mostly quartz with some gem deposits.

Yup, it's a giant quartz outcropping. Some of it got mined at one point. Otherwise, nothing terribly special about it. Oathar takes some quartz.

We cross the forest sphere as quickly as possible.

In the ocean sphere, Oathar swims around checking things out with his ant-shark figurine. Down at the bottom is a giant turtle. Oathar bransishes his figurine at the turtle and doesn't get et. There's a cave at the bottom with a number of bones and piles of waterlogged equipment, with some shark skeletons and the like. No loot there.

We cross to the tundra. We activate THE INAUGURAL USE OF THE CUBE OF ICE ARMOR!!! We head down and investigate the frozen tundra. Snow demons attack. But we were expecting that. We fight! They take slaying from fire. Yay Oathar! Alynna breaks her hand.
