This time the Adventure runned on a two days session, Mar 18|19, 2010. We played from 20:00 Mar 18 until 10:15 Mar 19, and 16:45 Mar 19 until 19:00 Mar 19, and this time I explained to the players I'm not 18 anymore, so from this day after we'll play until everyone sleep, and I'll sleep too. My players usually go sleep in turns, and I master full time, so it makes me get dead tired.
Being so, Sessions will get a bit shorter from now on, but not less interesting.
Enjoy your reading.
And Magic has it's own way on doing things. Some marvellous. Other, terrifying. Sometimes the choice of one makes the destiny of the many, a choice few would like.
At Torian's Castle, Torian, Hadesh, Adria and Ayasta discuss what's happening.
The Ring of Death would not kill anyone who'd want to go there, so it's probably being used by someone, there at Báech Islands.
Following Torian's magic message, Tack comes to his castle.
Now talking, they know the Rings of Ambar are a key to understand it all, and Hadesh asks which is the total power of the Rings together.
They don't know.
- It's summarily important for us to have the Five Rings of Ambar - says Tack Primus.
- Where would you hide, Ring of Life? (asked Torian to his Ring).
- On the most improbable place, but I woundn't go hide if it would not be extremely necessary (said the Ring).
This suddenly made sense to Torian.
Years before, he was responsible for correcting the Magic Faul that was affecting his Ruledom, and would affect all Royal Tachiza. Now, he remember exactly what he needed to do, that was to go to the other continent, Shadeza, and get the Dumpper only they know how to use, to restart magic field at the centre of that Faul and save his Ruledom.
That's probably the centre of the Magic Faul that's affecting Tachiza for the last two millennia and the Ring is there.
- Let's go there (asked Ayasta).
- You think the Ring of Magic is there (asked Torian).
- That's the only hint we have, Torian (said firmly Tack).
- I agree (answered Hadesh).
- Remember Octania. We can't confront an angel. We don't have the power to do that (said Tack).
- Bog.
- What, Bog? (asked Hadesh).
- Angels are another race, bog, just like your's (said the forgotten God).
- What? They another race? Ah. This won't help, now. So, let's go there and see if the Ring's in there (defined Tack).
But there's something more important to professor Primus.
- Well, people. Do you remember that mage we bring back his remains to a noble Duke, from Ayaname? He wants to welcome us at his ruledom.
- That's not important, Tack (said Hadesh).
- I'm really sorry, but it is. He sent me a message, and said we could go there, and he'd welcome us forever, into his territory.
- Right so, then. (said Torian). We'll go and visit him. It's on the way after the Faul, anyway. The Faul's near the frontier with Ayanima. I'll give the order to prepare our travel, with no teleport this time. Each teleport is costing two thousand gold to me, and I apreciate any help with these costs, anyway.
Then, Hadesh went to the artificer butler, took his Dark Grimoire and asked about the items. The artificer looks to know the book, and is afraid of him. So, the Grimoire didn't know what the ring of black magic was able to do, but explained about the black magic Torture item. He took the Torture item for himself, even with advices from the artificer that it's dangerous.
Second, Tack went to see the artificer, and he said the items would be classified in two months, and also that Hadesh has taken a very dangerous item of Torture to himself imediately before Tack come there.
- Without our opinion, then? (said Tack) That's good to know.
They gathered and get prepared to go to the Magic Faul centre, but teleport was too expensive for that.
(The Magic Faul)
They spent eleven days travelling, in horses and charriots. The beautiful lands of Royal Tachiza are rich, for the reason of the silver mines, and spice production. During the travel they saw two monansteries. One is really famous, for there is said Saint Krunk had illuminated and became a saint, the Keleppa monastery now was back then a source of resistance to the daemonic invasion of Toj.
Saint Krunk, whose famous battle axe made of vala, the planar silver, was destroied one year before, when his group was trying to confront a Gog uberdaemon. The group was settled at the village at that time, and a horde of daemons came to attack. During this, he has put himself in front of a deadly daemonic magic spell which would have killed Ayanima, and so he became a saint, put his hand into the air and a portal came, at the moment the fiends looked terrified.
His battle axe became known as Bitkaletja, or flying axe, since then. He killed the rest of the invaders, at that enlightened night.
So, they got to a Village.
There was a boy at the entrance of the village, who was grey, although being an ejik human. He explains the village is where all those infected by unknown deseases which not even the greater mages and clergy can cure are send to.
- There's a lake after this forest you can see, and that's the only water we have. It's waters have healing powers (said the boy, amongst some other things).
They decided to go to the lake, first. So, to the Faul, that according to Torian was located at the forest. Being there, Torian used the Orb.
It shown a monk, twelve years before, praying.
- Forgotten Gods, here are Forgotten People. We can't cure them. Please do for these forgotten people what only forgotten gods can do (the monk prayed).
So, Torian tells everyone.
- Bog.
- What is it, Bog? (asked Hadesh).
- It's Vulcana. Bog. She made this miracle. So, she really exists, then. I can't feel her, but she exists indeed.
- Let's go to the Faul, then (said Torian). Remember what the boy said. The frogs are venomous.
They got inside the forest.
On the centre of the forest, they find some rocks, and an old dumpper. The night falls around them.
Using the Orb, Torian sees the time comging back to five thousand years ago. This area was a Magic Forge, an imense Forge. And so, he sees the Ring of Magic being created. He senses danger, and the Orb is trying to make magic. Tack negates it.
The dumpper gives one "bump", and stops.
- What is it, that the dumpper suddenly worked? (asked Tack) You're the only one who knows how it works, Torian.
- It only works if there's energy to make it work, and if there's a magic faul in here.
They started to study the area, while Torian explained what he saw using the Orb of the Beginning.
- It's in here. I'm sure of it (said Torian, sure of it).
Investigating the area, the rocks are under the effect of Anchor, the magic spell that interrupts teleportation.
Torian then gives energy to the dumpper to make it work.
It started to work, but faster that it was safer, but the magic dispel Tack did was negated. Something's used the Orb to make magic.
Tack negates it again.
The dumpper started to bump at maximum speed. Enormous clouds were forming up them, and Torian negated the element to make them go away.
- We're surrounded by frogs, and should someone see what they're singing? (asked Ayasta).
- I do (answered Hadesh).
The clouds were forming again up there over them.
- They're singing: Krig, Krig, Krig. And it sounds like a pray. (said Hadesh).
- We'll be attacked by the frogs? (said Ayasta) So, kill them.
Hadesh asked Torian to cast ward versus Cold on everyone, and he did it still concetrated on the rocks. So, the dark spell of Freezing Death was casted by Hadesh on the area.
The frogs died.
- Krig, you said? It's Saint Krunk's brother's name - said Ayasta.
- That's it (said Torian). The same way the queen Tachiza could not kill the first Mummi King, in fact Tweet locked Krig here, into this rock.
- That's insane (said Adria). And the trees are moving.
- I know what to do (said Torian).
He then concentrates all energy coming from the clouds, and fixed them into the dumpper. It started to spark energy around them, lightning energy.
Suddenly, the clouds became dark red. An earthquake started, while Hadesh came back from Attune state and said the trees are christal trees at Hell, onto this place.
- Destroy the trees (said Torian).
- I'm sensing danger in everything we do, here (said Tack).
- Kill the trees. They're the Anchor (insisted Torian).
Hadesh invoked Freezing Death again, and that was enough to freeze all trees in a radius of 50 measures. Trees started to crack.
Then, they all listened to an enormous "Rhhhhhhrrahaaaccckhh.........".
The rocks started to crack, and fall.
- It's dangerous, Torian (said firmly, Tack).
- We can't give up, now. We need the Ring of Magic. He's in here (claimed Torian).
- And probably Krig, too. The same Krig who the Saint Group couldn't defeat, six hundred years ago. And probably stronger (said Ayasta).
- I'm with you, Torian (said Hadesh). We need the Ring.
- I think it's too dangerous (said Adria), but if there's no other way let's break the rock.
- Hey! Hold on (asked Tack).
Torian tried to take off the energy from the dumpper. It needed to be a consensus, that's what every entity said all way here.
- I don't like this idea. I have a family to protect.
But it was too late.
Then, Hadesh started to pray. The pray started to crack the rocks, as they were of a substance unknown, but probably profane.
The clouds became all red, and it infected all that they saw until the horizon.
An enormous part of the rocks then fall to the ground.
- Now it's too late (said Torian).
The earthquake extended itself til the horizon, while the rock started really to crack. Tack casted Anchor onto the ground.
So, the rock crashed and they all could see a white Orkling, five measures high.
- HhwAhhuhahahahahahhaaa.... (the Ork cried).
Bbooommm! As pearly-looking attacks were taking place on the barrier outside that land, and it was clearly someone trying to get in.
The imense Ork looked down to Bogbog.
- Thank you (said the imense Ork), very much.
- Bog.
Hadesh wished with all his hearth to have the Egg of Ambar here to help, whatever he could do.
- What's your name? (asked Hadesh).
- Oh, yes. This can be a problem (said the Ork).
So, he killed his name from history, laughing once more.
- Who're you? (have asked Tack, sensing he absolutly killed his own name, and barely remembering he's Saint Krunk's brother, trying not to forget anything).
The Ork starred the Ring on his hand.
- I am the New God of Death (said the Ork). And you're not needed into this world anymore (looking to the Ring on his right hand).
Hadesh tried to negate that, but the God of Death just move his hand to avoid negation.
- Now, the first Kill (said him).
Everyone sensed something bad had happened now. Something in their hearts told them the world's doomed.
What will they do now to make the right thing?
He ignored the group, and started to sculpt a Fortress out of the ground.
Soon, he looked to himself. He started to laugh and to get transformed into a dead creature of what he was before. He's now the form of an imense orkling Skeleton.
The New God of Death so created a Throne for himself.
This time, everyone sensed the power that emanates from this new God of Death, not knowing his name.
- You released me (said him, looking to the group), so I'll let you go. You have one wish.
Said that, he sat onto the Throne, and stand there waiting for their decisions or worst killing more to make sure he'll be the New God of Death.
- We want all Rings of Ambar (asked Hadesh).
- Say it for yourself (cried Tack). I don't want anything.
- Me too (said Adria). I have no wish.
- We want to go away from this place, safely (said Torian).
- We want all five Rings of Ambar with us (claimed Hadesh with all his certainty).
The God moved, finally. He looked to the horizon, and waved his hand. Rings appeared in front of Tack and Hadesh.
- We want all five Rings (insisted Hadesh).
The God didn't looked like talking, so he opened a portal for them to go.
Tack took the Ring, and Hadesh did the same.
Knowing this was not a time to discuss, they all went through the portal, taking the horses and charriot with them (Adria levitated them).
(The Crash)
They passed the portal, and it closed back them just after their passage. Looking around, they see that everything is stoped, paralyzed.
Birds are paralized in the air. They don't listen to any noise in the distance, and the horses are paralized too.
Somehow, they were moving, while anything else was.
- Adria (called Tack).
She's paralized, too, as time seems not to exist.
