The Elementalist Revelation #00

    Halloi (Helo), and Be welcome.

    This is my adventure blog, Wormbar - Epic Destiny.

    A long time ago, in a distant world called Toj, a number of very skilled nobles and warriors got together by the calling of a neutral entity responsible for the Dreams. The Dreammaker asked them to do recovery missions, to get the Stolen Dreams of the future world leaders, but in the meantime, the group became a group. They are amongst the most powerful people on Toj. And now, they're the most. A number of huge changes in the trikumai worlds, Toj and it's twin garden moon of Treiyka, both moving around the bigger one, Kalagoktwa, mark the start of an Event which will change the lives of every living being in these worlds.

    The Adventure #00 - Stolen Dreams is only the beginning.

    So, Be welcome reading.

    The Elementalist Revelation #00

    (Resume)

    Toriàn Drazci, also known as Daytel the Alchemist, have handed his family castle to be the Sanctuary of five distinct gods and godesses.

    After a fight of his dubious friend, the takkar beast Hadesh, with the resident Ice elemental which ended with his friend killing the elemental, he lives in this mountain which is the frontier between the Royal Tachiza empire, and the barbarian lands of northeast. The Frozenlant Mountain, long ago, was a haven to some very important arcanist, maybe a dragon. Inside it's caves, Toriàn have found a huge number of broken artifacts and items of power, and his friend the New Godess of Magic, a siddha descendant of Ayya, pass her free time on the caves puting together the artifacts, and learning how to make them in the process.

    The noble mage have said to his family all that treasure is family's, and he doesn't need anything.

    He worked the caves with his mastery of various major and minor elements. Now, it looks like a fortress, with very high stone columns, arches, ventilation and wind traps. No symbols. The entrance hall looks like a waiting room, in which about fifty people could gather, and it faces southeast. This is the direction to the Sanctuary, but he knows another way to entre the mountain, and that is on the oposite direction and into the Troll's Valley, now up to Hadesh to take care. He knows the takkar doesn't know he can listen to his family talking deep there, now he's a master on the element of Sound. He makes silence about it. This is a moment of danger, a change in history.

    Now, the Frozenlant looks more his home as the castle.

    He manipulated materials the constructors can't, just because of his mastery of elements. The entrance floor's more like a place to welcome visitors, and he made two large rooms to have two meetings at the same time, or just like the Samma Chambers, on the capital Samma, the City of Temples.
    So, downwards there are two floors, and the second there's where Ayasta keeps the artifacts, but the entrance to the third layer is closed.

    By the end of the second floor, eastwards, in a place where stalactites drop fresh water slowly on the pools, that's a place Toriàn likes a lot.

    It just remembers him of the sun chang stone garden he saw on the north empire, when he and Tayala were welcomed by their friend Dudin's safeplace, under a cave behind a waterfall.

    He's on the upper level right now.

    The special meeting table shows his many many maps of Toj, Treiyka and the huge Kalagoktwa.

    Over the maps, there are a huge number of small cubes from different colours, to indicate everything he's in mind at this moment.

    - What are you thinking about, Toriàn? - he listen to Ayasta's voice.
    - I think I have located the five Ancient Elementals I'll need to master, Ayasta, but there's something missing, and I think it's very important.
    - You know we gods can't intefere with your free choice, so I'll only listen to you. This always help. I'm learning it now that I'm helping Maika - I like the name she had chosen - to learn god skills - says the godess.
    - I know, I know. (he passes his hand on his goatee). I'm a master elementalist in seven major elements, and also on three minor.
    - Think. What's missing on your list?
    - FIRE! I knew it! Thank you very much, Ayasta.
    - I welcome you - says her voice.
    - The only intermediate element, Fire. Now, I'll need to locate the right one. Ancient Elementals are very fond of their element,...
    - Will you tell me why you're doing this, Toriàn?
    - I think,... well. I've found a manuscript, following the tracks of my Tome of Wisdom. It was on the cave, near Flausin's village. On the oposite side from the Cursed Island. I've seen it was written in a very old version of my own family's language, and now I know it's Bog's language. Well, then. It says once an elementalist masters all the elements, he becomes one with nature, one with spirit and one with the very intelligence which rules the universe, so I've decided to master all elements.
    - And what do want to do, after the mastery?
    - I need to win this war, Ayasta. I know this is my mission, don't know how to explain. It's a call from the heart, as the siddha people says.
    - Come here - says the Godess - I've called Tacke now. I've found two Rings of Power, just now, and I know Tacke must know about them.
    - That oke, Ayasta. I already have a Ring, so let Tacke decide what to do with them.
    - If you say so, he's already by the entrance.

    Tacke Prýmmus entered the old cave, and rised an eyebrow to the work of only two weeks his friend had made, waves a hand to his fellow and went down the second level. Toriàn went back to the maps. And Tacke, after talking to Ayasta, decides those are too dangerous to use. He asked for the godess bless into a magic lock he creates, and from there on, no living or dead would touch those Rings, a two twin Rings of Power he imagine, and the godess smiles at his wisdom, would be far older than the Five Rings of Ambar.

    The Professor came to talk with Toriàn, who was waiting for him.

    - I'll need witnesses, Tacke.
    - A trip into a vulcan is not a vacation time, my friend.
    - It's on the borders of Siddha Peninsula, the black East and the Nine Realms. I can't give my word, but Fire needs three witnesses.
    - Hadesh will do it for pleasure.
    - And Tklah?
    - He's well part of the group by now. I think he's doing well his relations to prepare to war, and now Royal Tachiza has a treaty with Abbas and Nine Realms, and for the last it looks like it's because of him.
    - I know. All that about a fake dragon missed all diplomatics with Nine Realms, and Báech was the shipyard. But now, Báech's the most important island, specially with You as a prince consort.
    - I think that will do.

    (On the Deep of Fire)

    The group enters a vulcan, inside a Sphere of Force of Toriàn's.

    As soon as they got deep there, and with his friend's protection from the element, Hadesh and Tklah knows their fellow Professor might negate anything which could kill them. They see a huge number of partially iluminated caves, all full of lava.

    - Ancient Elemental of Fire, I Toriàn challenge you. These are my witnesses.

    A huge face, with things which look like beards of fire, appeared on the lava and starred at the elementalist.

    - Which are the purposes of Elementals, elementalist?

    And soon Hadesh thought the sequence of questions and answers are boring. He also knows Tklahonomára would not understand much of the talk, and Tacke, he's just being a witness.

    - What are the processes by which one can understand an elemental language, elementalist?

    "That's boring", thought the takkar.

    Answer after answer, he started to think Toriàn's much more knowledge about elements he thought before, and that is a lot.

    So, after a three hours debate, the Ancient Elemental says.

    - Did you win the contest, elementalist?
    - Yes, Ancient Fire. I gave you all the answers you asked. So, I won.
    - Then, get prepared to travel to the Primordial plane. You think your answers were enough, but now that I'll give you the mastery, you need to know.
    - I'm ready.
    - That was said with the emotion from a Fire Elementalist.
    - Oke.

    A huge bubble of melted matter appeared on the surface of the vulcano's lava. The elementalist takes a deep breath of the black substance from the bubble.

    He's expeled from the body, and see the stars.

    Out there, off the world, he sees in this vision that the crystal's suffering, and immediately understand the elemental's purpose of responsability over nature.

    He backs to his body, to see the Ancient just waiting for him.

    So, Toriàn entered the bubble.

    (The Primordial Plane)

    - Every vulcano's an entrance to the Primordial - says the Ancient Elemental - And we Fire are the guardians of these entrances.
    - That's an important purpose, Ancient - says Toriàn.
    - Much more than that. I am the oldest Fire on Toj, almost as old as the East Nexus, from which the strange languages of the east comes. Get prepared. We're here.

    At this moment, Toriàn became a master.

    He sees huge torments, and an unspeakable number of Elementals fighting. "Is it a war?" Toriàn thinks, but soon he sees what his ally from Abbas had said.

    The Primordial Plane is broken.

    A number of strange paths are formed, somewhat similar, Toriàn knows, to the cloud formations which attacked his family's ruledom, and an uncountable number of abyssals coming from the deep. He breathes the Orange for the first time, a gas which is all the elements. He second sights a world only with nature. No inteligent races, no cities, no roads, only nature. He remembers his strange dream in which he wake up in a future with no magic, and also without any any form of divine energy, a dream he has forgotten, long ago. He saw a forest of giant mushrooms, very similar to those behind Frozenlant, and very strange animals too.

    On the dream, he woke from a coffin, and the Pantheon symbols was engraved on it. The coffin had been locked with vala, the silver from the planes. So, he went back to the coffin and locked it with tremendous power, only to wake on his bed back on Frozenlant Mountain, hungry.

    He thought his heart would stop, and concentrated.

    - The Orange is too strong for a natural mortal, we know - says Fire - Your heart will only know Fire completely when you love.
    - That,.... - he almost fainted.
    - You need to know this by yourself. Old Nexus told me this, but this is not the time. I'll only say to you, elementalist, that if you mortals fail the Time of Change, the world will be covered with those abyssals, beasts from the very beginning of Time, and will be doomed.
    - I'm seeing the Crystal breaking,.................... (he breathe, in trance)
    - That,... is The Time of Change.

    And the elementalist thought everyone would die, within this second sight visions.

    - Remember to remember, and Nexus will look for you.

    By that said, the huge Ancient Fire moved upwards, from the Deep, taking Toriàn off the trance. The visions were much clear, and the world is in much more danger than a miserable war. All the elements will shake the trikumai worlds, and everyone can die in the process.

    The bubble came off the lava, and Toriàn stood in there, staring the Ancient.

    - I feel the vulcano's going to enter eruption, Elemental.
    - Yes - says him - This always happen when a new Fire Master arises.
    - But,... there's a village by the mountain,...
    - You're a master, now. Don't you ever forget what you've learnt today, elementalist.
    - I know what I need to do. Hey! - he called his group - Let go!
    - That's about time - says Hadesh happy.

    When they're almost off the erupting vulcano, Hadesh uttered his thoughts.

    - I thought you'd fight with him, Daytel. That was boring.
    - And I've fought, and won, Hadesh.
    - But I thought Fire would like a good fight. They're all like that.
    - Not an Ancient. Now, go the village you all, and prepare them for the earthquake, while I make the way to the lava to go the Sea of Nine Realms.
    - We'll be waiting for you on the village - says Prýmmus.
    - I'll be there about time, Tacke.

    It took the rest of the day to control the lava.

    When Toriàn came to the village, his aura was in fire and everyone went down the ground to revere him. They were waiting for the fire master.

    (Back to Frozenlant)

    They got a teleport from Ayasta back. There, Toriàn sent a messange to his old butler, now the Sacerdot, asking him to create an item. I'm becoming an elemental, he said, and I'll need clothes proper to use, and if you can do it, I'll need the clothes to hide my aura and magic, and everything. The answer came fast, "Of course, my lord. I'll get it done for you soon", says the sacerdot.

    - There is change of life in every form of nature.

    And so, he went to take some rest, to get fully prepared.

    (End of Session)

    Is that what Raýla was saying all the time to Toriàn?

    The Time of Change has begun.

I hope you're enjoying the reading, here at the adventure blog, and,...

    The Mummy Attacks #00

    After one whole month of attacks, Torièn was finally calm now. His family had worked a lot, and probably if any black alve attack Priatel again, their efforts would blast them dead, so he decides to go talk with an ancient Elemental Ice he knows where she lives. It gives him a waterbook, a rare item only the Ice and Water elementals hold, but as he asked for permission, he's able to read.
    Torièn's elemental abilities are becoming his best skills, and the people of his ruledom respect him a lot, knowing his huge actions on protecting the Inner Mountains and the pilgrim's passage. An effort all his family takes, Rudyn at the point northeast, Aethas at the other passage.

    When reading the Tome of Ice, he feels a positive presence. And soon, a second one. Both he identifies as the presence of a dragon, and a second of a saint.

   It has passed now almost one day since Timeflow's back normal.

    He feels an odd sensation of danger on the whole world, as the undead energy flows in every direction, and he's confident his friend Lena will do her best.

    Lena is not a mortal anymore, and she's the new Dark Queen, he wonders, and no one will understand why Torièn believe her so much.

    She had joined the Mummy King, as his wife.

    The whole world fears her now, but the mage's confident of her secret, which means he knows she's a dangerous and powerful mission. She's not fallen, not yet. Lena's name will be erased from history, by the scholars, but the main reason she's doing it,...

    - Torièn, I'll need your help before the end.
    - Yes, princess. What do you need me to do for you?
    - You'll know, but don't believe I'm evil, by no means, for what's to come. I have a duty. And this way, I am the one with the most dangerous mission.
    - I'll be on your side, when you need me.
    - Thank you, noble Draszi - she said.

    He'll be the only one to believe she's right, and doing what needs to be done.

    Outside Priatel ruledom, the world is now a strange place.

    Immedaitely after the time came back normal, after a long time of people being transformed into entities, or any other kind of new creatures, they did it. Hadesh, also know as Trahmass only by his fellow group, is happy with that, heading to the Fortress of North. He's on a mission to Ayasta. By what he understood, his friend godess explained in thelepaty that the Avatar of Chaos, the little blond child who made the group life a hell asked the great entities, and had the right to abandon her duties as being Chaos.

    He could not be more happy with that.

    And it seems Flausin, after understanding madness perfectly, is going to be trained as Chaos, will become a child as every Avatar happens to have this form, have said Ayasta.

    Even in the far north, the necroforma is gathering, he sees it with the company of Tacke and the mad bogling Flausin, and no one knows what will happen next. What the Dark Lord will do, is only up to himself. The whole people who fight for good are waiting. As the undead energy is still not attacking anyone, and no one knows the real target the Mummy King decided to attack, this is the moment every men and women on Toj are sharpening their axes, to confront finally the monster of this era.

    What is a secret is, and Tacke knows, is that who's controling the necroforma is their friend, in a dangerous mission she could not tell even to her group fellows.

    "Wait for the Mummy attack, and don't attack the undeads yet", Tacke had listen to the voice of the Elder who's the Academy Council leader, just one hour ago, and this was a so wise advice he thought the information about the one who's doing it can wait.

    Tacke, after timeflow came normal, immediantely went to see his family.

    - We're fine, Tack - his wife kissed him, and he huged their children.
    - Father, I need to talk to you - said his daughter Delenda - There will be much suffering on this world, and wherever you be, my heart will be with you.
    - Why are you saying this, Delenda? - Tack asked her.
    - I,... can't tell. In the name of the Order, I ask you not to ask me again. If I tell you, I'll condemn the world, and you just need to know I'm with you.
    - Hhmmm,... (he stoped, thinking), if you say so, I believe you.

    Tacke and Hadesh took Flausin to the north pole, where they see a huge vortex of light, a tempest, from which came a sun chang warrior, short but ferocious. The smallman didn't talk, but Flausin says "Wait for me!" and entered the immense energy fortress vortex.

    Hour later, they came to the safeplace Ayasta could teleport 'em back.

    (Back to Priatel)

    When Tacke and Hadesh came to the Frozenlant Mountain, they found a new master elementalist. Torièn explained he's just confronted the Ancient Elemental Ice. A huge sensation of normality, strange when undeads are ready to take over the world, rules nature.

    - The gods created by the event are dead.
    - Not all of 'em, Hadesh - says Torièn - Maika confirmed me some had suvived the flow.
    - Maika? She cahnged name?
    - Yes, Tacke. She's learning magic with Ayasta, and Ayasta's mastering mind with her. It was my idea, and I thought both would learn much with the other.
    - Flausin's the Avatar of Chaos, now - says Hadesh.
    - Proper - confirmed Torièn.
    - The only thing that's out of place seems to be the Blue Pearl Black dragon.
    - And I agree with that, Prýmmus - says the Priatel.
    - Are we going to do anything this time?
    - I think we will, Hadesh. This time we just can't not to act.
    - Agree with you, Torièn - says Tacke.
    - Let's wait for the best moment to act, this time. The Mummy King must act first, unless we see he's not going to attack the monotheist empire.
    - I still think we should have created a world threat so big and under our control, the whole world would get together to confront it. The monotheists are not the enemy. We know there's someone dealing with time magic behind this all.
    - I know, Tacke - says Torièn - But not even the Academy would believe someone's moving through Time, without suffering transmorphic subversion.
    - That's true - says the Professor - I know them. They wouldn't.
    - When are we going to attack?
    - We need to wait, Hadesh. This time, we need to wait.

    The last words of Tacke let the takkar thinkative, and they'll need to do something before the group take action, so he went the Sanctuary, on the lastly Torièn's family castle, to make medical work. His medical guidance was very welcomed by all the people. They all know he's the valley guardian, now. They all know he's a medic, well trained in medicine on Treiyka, and people follow his intructions.

    All of a sudden, the whole world sense a presence.

    Ambar, the Godess of Time and Magic, they all sense she's alive.

    "She's back! Ambar is back", cries most of the population.

    A huge sensation that things must come to the right place came with her, but no one knows what she did as her first action. Tacke knows, she's powerful enough to have done something no one could sense, and prepare the world to survive the war againt the Mummy King. Whatever she did, she did in silence. No entity, extradimensional, or not even Tacke, who's an eek now. No one knows, but they all know she had take action, this time to make something they all cannot know what it really is.

    And so, all undead skeletons start to move west.

    Torièn send a magic message to Raýla, saying "They're moving west", and receive a dark gift message saying "No, they're moving southwest. They're going the monotheist empire. Was has begun", and Torièn called his fellow group members to finally take action into the war.

    - Ambar is alive, Tack.
    - It doesn't change anything.
    - I've tested all elements on destroying the undeads, and they're not affected by fire. They were, but I sense a world casting was done.
    - I was warding againt all elements, on the necroforma.
    - That's bad news, Tack.
    - It doesn't change anything yet.
    - So we're going action?
    - Yes, Hadesh - confirmed the Professor.
    - Nothing's better than this. But how come Ambar is back?
    - Your Bag can confirm what I think. Look at the Bag. Is the Egg still on your Bag?

    Hadesh looked, made a fair search, and nothing.

    - So, (says Tacke), Saint Krunnek had fooled you, while having an orgy, and had stolen the Egg. That's the only possibility. He's well known for being a fair worshiper of Ambar, and I assume he did it since we were going to do nothing to ressurrect his godess.

    They start preparing for the mission.

    Before going there, Torièn sent a message to Dudin and Tayala. "Transform the bones into another matter, and the skeletons won't back", he says, but the answer was terrible. "We are fine. This is happening on the three worlds at the same time. The person who's doing it is sitted by the side of the Mummy King, and he's not doing the attack, just waiting to act, but it's all we have. The Mummy King is creating swamps on the Feudal Federation, so he had abandoned the idea of Nine Realms as his kingdom". Torièn answered "The Nine Realms are an ally now, and the person you're talking about is the Mummy's wife. We're going action, now. We have a mission. I'll send message when it's done", and there were no answer back.

    - Tacke - called the mage - This is not the Mummy King attack.
    - Again, this doesn't change anything. The whole world will treat this as his attack, and that includes the monotheist empire's leaders.
    - Oka,... let's go, then.

    Hadesh finally had his long waited smile.

    (At the monotheist Empire)

    Daytel waited paciently, for two hours in which Tacke was trying location on the unplottable target, but Hadesh was really impacient. He was happy when his friend says "I located the target. But now, I'll need to concentrate on the anchor magic, 'cause if I negate it the target will know we're going", and meditated to take off his mind of tension, he's a warrior monk, so tension is definitely wrong. Half an hour later, they listened "Got it. Prepare for the attack, right now", says Tacke.

    - Now, Daytel - and the elementalist activated the teleport ritual.

    They were draged from their place of origin, everything going horizon, and so they came to a cave, an immense cave with a door.

    And the Blue Pearly Black dragon's holding the door from it's other side.

    Hadesh immediately assumed beast form, and started to fly, while Torièn conjured a pointed star attack with various elements and attacked. Tacke assumed negation instance. The attack from the elementalist hited the dragon, who screamed loud "Bastards!", but didn't moved. Daytel's attack has broken one only scale, and that let space opened for Hadesh to attack. The takkar beast gives a huge bite on the dragon's flesh, and put all his poison, to which is not any cure yet. No one knows his race exist, not even many dragons, so the poison started to act on the dragon's blood, and as soon as it was flowing, the dragon started to faint.

    - There's something wrong - says Tacke.

    The dragon started to laugh, while his legs were trembling.

    - Why he's not attacking? There's something wrong - repeated the mage, while his companion mage elementalist stoped while concentrating another attack.

    They stay in silence, and the dragon starts to laugh out loud.

    He's going to die, he knows.

    - We,..... won - were the last words of the blue pearl black dragon.

    And he fell to the ground.

    Immediately, the door he was holding was blasted, and Hadesh assumed attack flight, but they looked outside, and it was not a cave.

    It was a vault, and outside there's a huge number of Basylisks.

    The man in a hood, one with hands up as using magic says "Damned" and looked the more than thirty basylisks on the outside, to say "They're yours. I don't have anything to do with this anymore", and simply vanished on the air, they don't listen to the "pop" so characteristic to teleport.

    Daytel conjures his protections against basylisk words to kill, and starred Tacke waiting, at the same time the immense cave was invaded by the monotheist army.

    - Our dragon's DEAD! Our Patron's DEAD! - cried the monotheists - Attack the basylisks! Make 'em move! We need that people who killed Pearl! Now!

    Tacke concentrated on his eek powers, and created a trigger for teleport home magic.

    "It's done", he murmurs, feeling disapointed.

    And teleported home.

    (Back at Prýmmus house)

    - It was an ambush! - cried Hadesh - I've got his scale! It's here! Look.

    The big dragonscale was pearly, and blue and black at the same time. But Tacke and Torièn just looked each other, knowing the mistake they've fell into. It was an ambush, and the dragon knew they'd attack, and let himself die, to render the monotheist empire against the group. They'll know an unknown poison killed the dragon, and by the magic of an elementalist the scale was taken. They'll become fanatics, now. And their enemy's not the basylisks, nor the Mummy King. The monotheist enemy's now each and every elementalist on Toj, and the trikumai worlds, for their patron's being murdered, coldly.

    There are no words to forgive 'em for this.

    (End of Session)

    Some Considerations necessary

    How come the new dragon knew they were going to go and kill him? And why did it let them do it, without any action to stop 'em?

    There's a huge problem with this.

    Who told the dragon?

Timeflow's Back #00

    Helo, and Be welcome.

    This is my Adventure blog, and this the resume of the Play.

    I've got time to work on the final 5 posts, now. My Novel book one is finally with a release date: June, 2012; and I'm really happy with this. Also, this post is real time, and today I'm planning the final posts I'll publish in here the next few days, to have an ending the first Story: Stolen Dreams. I've lost time track, as the adventure runned over a year ago, but the final version will have it better explained. Follow the next link to the final version to read it. My players all moved, got to work, etc, and I'll have news on the next adventure by January. Since I finished the final version, of course.

   About the Story

    The Story's coming to an end.

    It's group is one of the most powerful group on the world of Toj, and the story needs to be told. I'll have the final version as soon as possible, with new intrigue and plot.

    The reason is, together with the story played, I'll add a story that's on my mind.

    Raýla's storyline is much lesse full of powerful effect, and things are much much worst than the main storyline played as an RPG story.

    The goal in this blog is to show how to create a Story little by little.

    And the original resume format will be available on my Facebook page.

    So, Be welcome reading. (-;

    Resume of this days of Play :: Stole Dreams

    (On the last Session of Play,...)

    New soldiers are being armed, and trained.

    Sama, the capital of Royal Tachiza, asked the Priatel and a small number of ruledoms which were attacked, to send a noble to the capital to explain it all. After a week or so, they talked, and gathered all the news from every corner of the world of Toj.

    The only good news, the two twin worlds, Kalagoktoe and Treiyka.

    They're not at war, and messenger say they won't enter any side, not to mention the oggres have a long time chivalry amongst two factions, and no one should interfere.

    Dragons are all waiting for a moment to deal with fake dragons, like the Silver fake dragon from Nine Realms, says the Copper and Saphire dragons to the Sama messengers who have been sent.

    The Castlelands of the west, everyone knowns are peacefull.

    A weaker empire amongst all, and the first conflict would probably be in there.

    (End of Session)

    Torièn listens to the voice of Ayasta. She says the group must gather, and Lena suggested the Tavern as the gatherplace.

    - Another group was chosen to destroy the crown of the Mummy King. This way, Bog was right saying this is needed, and we're free to take action (says Ayasta).
    - Let's put an end to the Magic Faul - says promptly Torièn.
    - That's a good idea - concluded Tacke.
    - I think the idea is to lock all the Antigods we didn't locked yet - says Hadesh.
    - Hhmm,... that's really much more important, Hadesh (agreed Torièn).
    - And then, we safe Lena's kingdom just after that - suggested Báech the djine.
    - We're gonna need Bumppers,.. Hadesh, do you find a way to Kalagoktwe with your powers?
    - No, Torièn. I can't see any passage til there. I don't control it.
    - I agree with you all. But we need to investigate the Báech Islands, first - says the princess.
    - Why? - that's not something a normal noble would understand, but she does.
    - I think the djine Báech is the founder of Báech Islands, and he's also the First Djine. The legend says he had a magic sword, a very powerful magic sword, and the curse will probably end if I as his descedant, order him as a knight of Báech Islands.

    Everyone got shocked, by that words.

    - Where did you listened to this, princess? - asked Tacke.
    - It's true, Professor - says the djine - We're investigating the legends the Guild of Thieves know. Everyday, we stay at the other side of this Tavern, listening to them. They simply had forgotten the Rogue Princess, because they believe now a rogue will never be a thief, and there's a huge war coming. They plan about it. So, this is my legend, and I'll be a leader to the new djines. They're hungry, and the Regent is using the fungus to ask 'em doing bad things, bad things that could then start the war everyone's waiting.
    - You seems logical in your words, djine - says Tacke.
    - I've learnt a lot with Lena, Professor. She's the smartest person I've ever met.

    Everyone looks to Lena, and so Tacke concludes.

    - Let's do it. Lena, your word, nobless.

    (At Báech Islands, finally)

    The Dreammaker teleported the group to the islands.

    They remember Torièn's voice saying "I'm not going. I'll be the rescue man", and they agreed.

    But the truth was he's not going because he's tired of Hadesh.

    They argue all the time, and the takkar never thinks he could be wrong.

    First of all, they noticed a creature moving. Hadesh could sense it. The moved for hour into a labyrinth of ruins, all that Báech was. The castle's pure ruin, and it vapours smokes of black energy. After all, the obsidain dragon died in here, and his energy's still present.

    Hadesh senses a basylisk, but not a normal one.

    It took him off the group, mentally. The place he went to is not a place. It's the Nothingness.

    There, the oldest of all basylisks tell stories to Hadesh, and he understand that everything has a balance, but the basylisk is off that. It's out, because the basylisks are older than that, and they come from the very Nothingness, the only No-Place in existance.

    Back to the group, Hadesh notice no one knew he was away.

    The takkar plans to tell everything to Lena. She's the only one who listens to him, all the time. The others always simply ignores his sayings about nature, laws and life.

    So, they finally find the King's Throne, and they see a very old painting.

    Then, Lena remembers the painting, and order Báech to stay in front of her, and down on his knee. She lift her right arm, and a sword appears.

    With this Sword of Power, she order him Knight.

    It all happened at the same time.

    Báech remember all his memories lost, the Prophecy, and he knows Lena's destiny now. Than, they all were teleported with no powers, to the sky above. They started to fall. Hadesh tries to hand everyone and fly, but they're many and he are not strong enough. Falling. The island's darkness desapears, down there. Lena cries words, and she's talking with her brother, it seems. "The Curse's over. Come back!", she cries. And Tacke opened his pocket, and took a small bottle from it. The ground was coming closer, and they're going to die for sure. Everyone looks to his hand, and they see Tacke had kept the Lucky Potion they've found at the magic Bag of Things, long ago.

    And he drinks the Lucky Potion.

    Falling from a two kilomeasures high, they start to simply fall softly.

    By the time they got to the ground, various portals were opened, and the dark creature's dead. Tacke feels the creature was a time creature. Tacke simply got all the power from the knowledge of Death he already known, and now he becomes a distinct being, and completely know about it. "What have I became, Ring?" he asks, and the Ring of Death says to him "You're an Eek, now. An Eek is a First, and you're the Eek of New Magic", and by the looks of Hadesh and Flausin, who had diminished takling a lot and Tacke understand now. The bogling had become a creature too, and he's the next Avatar, but Hadessh, Tacke feels he's not ready.

    At the sight of Tacke, and the power of Luck, Flausin also feels something strange.

    Lena runs to hug her brother, crying.

    The djine Bách is in silence, as he knows everything's going to change. He feels his bones and blood become a new substance, and that every other new djine's sensing the same mutation he feels, together with the knowledge of him being the First.

    Then, Tacke do what he needs to do, and ask for the Feather from the Avatar of Drahmai, in his heart.

    Using the lucky potion to have the Feather, he hands it to Adria and she simply turned time back to normal, a thing no one would expect, but that's his only change, he knows. So, the people of báech who was coming back and happy sensed something is indeed happening. The King see them, and at the moment he stoped sensing something could be strange, the people stoped.

    The new Avatar of Chaos, the bogling, looks everyone with fear.

    - I seeeeee, nowww,... (he cries, madly).

    Lena suddenly remember all the secret teaching of The Order of Silver, from Nine Realms, seeing the eyes of the djine looking to her in secret.

    She knows what she have to do, now.

    And it's the darkest future she never imagined, but remember now.

    The Timeflow's back.

    All the people in there, and everywhere else feels.

    And they sense all new gods, who had not power to be a true god are dead now.

    - What's happening, Lena? - questions the King.
    - This is the first Báech, my brother. He's an immortal, and we are his mortal family.
    - So He is the King - says Lena's brother, looking confuse.
    - I already have my people to guide, King. But we are a people without a kingdom - the djine came closer.
    - Call them here, Djine King - says Lena's brother.
    - You'll always be welcome to the Land of your decendants, my immortal friend.
    - Thank you, Lena - and so various djines started to appear from thin air.

    The Rogue Princess call her people, the invisible people who was waiting so long for her, but she tells no one she's doing this.

    It's not the time for the revelation.

    (The Travel to Kalagoktwe)

    Torièn goes to the vault on the Sanctuary, and asks many questions to the Tome of Wisdom, to know every possible way they're going to need. Ways to and fro Kalagoktwe, the giant. At some point, he immediately feels Timeflow's back, and he sense his magic is still stronger. Now, he sense his true power, and he's above three times more powerful than every other mage, wizard or sorcerer on Toj. He conjures the Staff, smiles, and disconjured it, only to feel the Staff still can amplify his magic.

    (Back at Báech Islands)

    Sometime later, the djine created the thrones with power extended to him by his people. The power of many djines are pure chaos, but with a King they're together. The King sits on the central throne, and his sister on his left side, so the djine king sits on the right.

    All the people comes to revere their leaders, with a free new Kingdom.

    - The armada is coming! - cries the people.
    - Djine King, make them lost their ways to our Kingdom - says the Heir King.
    - The pleasure is mine, Heir King - and no ship came to the beach.

    Hadesh comes to talk with Tacke, waiting to talk.

    - What now, Tack?
    - We need to help here, and in twenty four hours timeflow's normal. Let's go Kalagoktwe.
    - Agreed - says the takkar.

    Torièn was already waiting for them.

    - You're late - says the mage - I've found a way there, and there's a passage to Abbas, where I'll need to stay and you'll come the Sanctuary.
    - Let's go - the takkar's happy things are happening.

    "That's the most powerful item that ever existed in the world", he thinks about the potion.

    One hour later, they're at Kalagoktwe.

    (At Kalagoktwe, the Giant)

    They appeared hours away from the city, and they felt fear not to be able to do it. Tacke's happy, and he says let's go this way, pointing a direction.

    The sky's clouds are pure white, and they need to keep flying from rock to rock.

    Imense rocks, flying over the mist down there. They know it's dangerous. Minutes later, they see a house, and they come to talk. There's a man, ejik, very old, living in there. He explains quickly how they can get to the Capital, that's two hours distant, and they go. Daktyls were flying around, hungry, but they didn't attacked 'em, only to find they're the best guides to the Capital, because daktyls are mounted.

    - Who are you?  - asks the rider.
    - We need to go the Capital. Could you guide us? - asked Tacke.
    - No, but it's going to become night, and you'll need daktyls to get there before night. If you stay out at night, you'll all die - resumes the rider.
    - Thank you very much - says Tacke.

    Two hours later, they're in a huge city, and it became night in a second.

    An infinitude of fungi life, Tack sense they're poisonous, came from the ground down there, and lucky they're high there protected.

    Minutes later, as they're the only ejik on the city, they were taken not forcedly, to talk with the City Council, and notice people are divided in a two factions, green and red flags everywhere.

    - Good night, Grey Council - says Torièn - We came here to get Bumppers, with which we're going to seal the Antigods forever.
    - We'll talk with you in half an hour, with a decision.

    The takkar was immensely impressed with the power of the potion, and that was weird, truly power, no one could ever imagine Tack was carrying that all the time.

    - How many bumppers do you need? - asked the Grey Council.
    - We need five bumppers - Torièn resumed.
    - give the bumppers to the ejik, before the reds enter the City (the immense oggre says). We're going to have a war, finally, ejiks and takkar. We're waiting for this for the last century! You came in a very happy moment, even with all the blood is soon to be thrown to our City grounds.
    - We're happy, with that - says Torièn - Thank you, very much, Grey Council.
    - Go the passage, before you get killed - says the master oggre - The Grey Council knows what's happening at Toj, ejik, and we need you to take this Bag and this message to your allies at Abbas. Now go, and good luck.

    Torièn takes the Bag and the message, and bow his head a little. The oggres are allies now, and he only wishes they still be after the long wayted Faction War that's finally happening today.

    Minutes later, the red army invaded the Grey City.

    No one was attacking them, and they simply got away from there with the bumppers through the passage, and from there to Abbas, where Raýla was waiting for Torièn. Hadesh was beating his hands on his legs, anxious, while the vampire talked to the mage, in secrecy.

    They teleported to Priatels, and looked the Tome of Wisdom for the last five Antigods locations.

    From one to one, all five were locked, forever.

    It was going to pass the day, and they got to the Astral place the Bronze Labirynth, where they bronze faeries were truly happy to see their savior The Bronze Mage. There, Torièn asked the Tome of Wisdom, starting to think who was the original owner of this book and how he could be dead, or almost dead as the Witch of the Planes had said, but the mission's more important and that all got off of his mind.

    With all Antigods locked, they see morning coming, adn Tacke feels the Lucky Potion's ended. It comes a huge felling of danger assaulted the Professor, as never before. A sense he did an unspeakable thing, and his Sin would be forever remembered, and he goes the Astral passage in true fear. Hadesh seses the same, but Torièn's feeling well, so he says they need to go the Sanctuary, while he needs to go his family.

    (At the Sanctuary)

    When Tacke and Hadesh came finally to the safeplace, they see Tklahonomára waiting. His race don't have face expressions, but they know he's in fear.

    By his side, it's the Essence of Death, the Avatar of Efemmera, and the young Avatar of Drahmai, the one who represents all dragons. There's a man, who doesn't know anything, and is probably a wanderer, but Efemmera explains he's important and they'll understand later. Flausin appears, and Hadesh says "You need to get better in your appearances", so he vanished. Efemmera says they'll need to be in a hidden place, and they're only coming back when there's need.

    A young sacerdot came with water, in a jar.

    They talked for some minutes, and they sense all necroform of the world is gathering.

    What's happening?

    (Back at Báech Islands)

    Lena teleported Tacke's wife, sending a message to his friend Professor. She explained she can't stay at Báech Islands anymore, and she have a mission. The grou needs to belive in her, because her mission's the most dangerous mission on the world. And now your wife's going to be the Queen, my friend, with the title of The Silent Queen, she'll explain it all to you soon. But I need your agreement, as you're going to be her consort. (Tacke agrees, quietly, back at the sacred rooms of the Sanctuary). Thank you. Goodbye.

    The voice of Lena was confuse, but Tacke senses she's right.

    When he tries to get water from the jar, it got transformed, and the new Avatar of Chaos appeared.

    - Much better, Chaos - says Hadesh.

    Time is going to get back to normal in a few hours, one or two.

    So, the Avatars went throught the backwall of the Special Room, a place which before was Torièn's, and now is a huge labirynth of sacred energies, being or going to be rebuilt.

    At the same time the Avatars went through the passage, they sense the necroform.

    All the group listen fo Ayasta's voice, who's in form of a statue on the vault.

    - The other group was successful. The crown of the Mummy King's being destroyed. But now, you must know your beloved Lena is now his wife.

    Hadesh activated his two rings of positive and negative energy, given to him by Torièn from the treasure on the icy Frozenlant Mountain's undergrounds.

    Time was passing, and they see through the windows all sort of undead energy going the same direction.

    Tklahonomára, all sinlent, decides to drain all the necroform he could.

    And so part of that terrible energy started to go his direction. Hadesh sensed danger and assumes beast form, to turn his tail to Tklah and beat him softly on the chest, to see if the mad man comes to reason again, and at the same point two things happened.

    Taklah, hited, decides to attack Hadesh, but a long distance Spell of black magic entered the window and hited the ring on the beast tail. Then, the ring with positive energy negated the curse, and so Tklah noticed the takkar had protected him.

    All the world sensed the Crown of the Mummy King to shatter in pieces.

    And Timeflow's back to normal.

    (After the Back Timeflow)

    Then, everyone sense Nature's not divine anymore.

    All their suffered penalties, damage, emotions and moments of despair happened at the same time, and who subverted, or died, or are still alive.

    Flausin called the attention of Tklahonomára, while Tacke and Hadesh exchanged looks, and pointed a small and unnoticed key on the place he was a jar.

    - We're alive, father - Tacke listens to his daughter's Delanda's voice.
    - Where are you? I'll go right now.

    He just looks Hadesh, and they had nothing to say. At the same time Tacke was teleporting, and Hadesh was going the window to see the clouds of necroform going southwest, Tklah took the small key and put in his pocket. The man and the woman present were in trance.

    Hadesh listen to Ayasta's voice.

    - You need to take Flausin to The Fortress of The North. Mai's with me. Everyone on the group is alive, but we need to respect Nature more than before. Remember that, my friend.
    - I'll always remember, Ayasta. Flausin! - the small bogling jumped, on the corner.
    - WhAt?! - he cries.
    - We're going to travel. I'm going to see my family. You're going with me, right now. Time's back, Flausin! We did it! Get ready. Pack.

    (End of Session)

Priatel's under Attack #00

    Helo, and Be welcome.

    This is a resume format of the Adventure #00, Stolen Dreams.

    You can follow the final version on this post:

    About the Story

    I lost track of time, because the adventure runned a year ago. This isn't a problem. A major question, in here, is that the format used in here is a resume format. I'm working hard into giving it a final version, and it will be online as soon as I get the storyline of places. I like very much the main characters on this adventure, and they'll feature as part of the world major characters in future adaptation, the setting and characters are part of Creative Commons, non commercial, no derivs, to make sure you will be able to use them into your table. There is no copyright issues when you're playing RPG, and use an author's idea. It's used in honour to that author. But if you're going to publish, the same way I'm publishing here at the blog, you'll need original characters, setting and, should say, to take much care with naming things.

    Hope you like.

    Priatel's under Attack

    Torièn listened to the Ring of Intelligence's voice, and it says Mai needs to gain a lot of experience on life. She just can't ignore she's a powerful goddess.

    He agrees, and called her to a chess match, to start talking.

    Mai says she had a dream.

    She was a bit older, about fifteen, and she changed her name to Maika.

    That remembers her of Magic.

    Then, Torièn senses a visitor waiting for him at the entrance, the base of the mountain. He'll need to make this sanctuary him home, and move things a bit inside of it, until he can fina an ice elemental to stay at the place the old ancient elemental lived.

    It's Aksias, his master.

    - Hadesh and Tacke were attacked, by dark elves. We could arrest three of 'em.
    - How are them? They've been harmed?
    - The two are fine, and we must go interrogate those alves.
    - I'll send Mai to the sanctuary castle, first. I think it's time for her to mix with her kind, and Ayasta needs to start training her.
    - And I'll need to come to the Family Council, to explain what's happening.
    - Oke. We meet as soon as possible.

    (Resume of the Adventure)

    Tacke had a strong feeling the images he saw were made to make him believe everything's oke, nothing's needed and this will all end a happy ending. They're not. After the attack, he and Hadesh were saved by Aksias, with a few soldiers of Priatel, down the small valley in which Aethas councillor's house is located, west from Torièn's family castle, the way after the prison south from Hadesh'es valley, previouslly the Troll's valley.

    Aksias had sent Tacke to the village that moves around Torièn's castle, but Hadesh needed to get back to his valley, considering what Aksias said, that they're under attack, noble families and population.

    Then, Tacke enters the captain of the guard's house with death among his emotions.

    - Ohe, Mal-ec - says the captain - The bodies are at the backyard, and the three dark alves alive were taken to the prison by lord Aksias.
    - As soon as lord Torièn comes, say I need him, captain.
    - Of course. I'll be at the square here in front, organizing the soldiers. I have orders to do that.
    - Thank you, captain - concludes Tacke.

    Professor Prýmmus look at what he wants to do, before doing it.

    Then, he listens to a large "pop", and see Flausin.

    - I'm here to help, Tlack - says him.
    - I don't need any help, Flausin. So, you please let me do it.
    - Fine. I'll be by the Nine Realms shore, 'f you nee'me.

    And another large "pop" marked the madling going away, so Tacke went to the backyard. He want's to investigate the bodies.

    - Tacke. Tell me what happened - asked Torièn as soon as he got there.
    - Hadesh is oke, back his valley. I need your help, because we need to investigate the bodies. I know there are things we need to know about these black elves.
    - I'll help you.

    Investigating the bodies, the two discovered the bodies are astral matter, and react with many alchemical elements and the major elementals of nature. Aksias sent a message, saying Hadesh was going to be used as to create some kind of book. Tacke was to be a major part on a ritual, and be sacrificed to something they believe is the No-Time, none of 'em know what it is.

    Most important than everything, the dead black alves react to water.

    They form a poison, when put into water. This way, during a war, all water in a region they're attacking would no more be fresh water to it's population. Tacke assumed they're imune to the poison, and Torièn tested all elemental energies on them, to discover their flesh becomes a poisonous gas whem they're desintegrated with Nothing, the most dangerous element, a no-element.

    Torièn went to the family meeting on the council.

    Aethas calls all young members of the five families, alies on Priatel territory. They're all going to gather on Rudyn's mansion the next morning. After discussing much, the council decides to send a message to the most important nobles of Abbas, saying the black alves can teleport even with the invasion anchor on the empire, what means the Royal Tachiza's in a really vulnerable situation with these alve's attacks. The Priatels, one of the five realms the invasion didn't attacked directly, because they're allies to Abbas, then asked the nobles of Abbas to end the anchor on Tachiza empire, to get prepared to any attack by these strange race. A magic message came from Sama, the empire's capital, saying they know about the black alve's attack, and asking for information. The Dukes had already asked Abbas to suspend the anchor.

    On the following day, the village by Aethas Mannor was attacked. They were killed, and there was no sign of what they're doing in here. Wanderers becabe feared this would affect 'em, as Priatel's the route of pilgrims, the only safe route from east blacklands of stonecasters and the central of the great continent. Rudyn made all families of the low  nobility armed and formed groups of keepers, the Guard. They stay in the wanderer's route, and some policies were necessary to keep roads free of danger. The next day, a family of populars were killed, but neighbors fought the black elves and killed them.

    Tklahonomára, with permissions given to traders, was the only there able to teleport. The family Council of the Priatel asked him to send a message to the Academy.

    All black elves had, in their boots, a moisture of a salty and sandy earth. Torièn didn't know where this come from, even being a sand master.

    Then, by the end of this week, the Abbas empire's anchor was undone.

    One problem at a time, Torièn decides to ask the Ring of Intelligence how he could subjugate the Ring of Magic, and it explained the three lesser rings had the power of a Major one. Torièn explained it to Tacke, and he had the idea of creating a language to send messages to the future. An absurd, but Tacke liked the idea. That night, affar fom his city and family, Tack thought better about it, and this was a very good idea. On the following day, Torièn has completely forgotten the point. Tacke decides to use this, but in another way. Hadesh, now a guardian, had to welcome various pilgrims on the valley territory, and they were amazed by his advices, and this way he started to be accepted as the new guardian of a Strangeland, a place pilgrims travel to see.

    By the next day, guards were shouting everywhere.

    - We're under attack of Black Elves! Every single man in the Priatel territory's now under the order of killing black elves on sight! Tell this your father! Tell this your brother!

    Rudyn and Ardalan, an older mage, were in charge of the spies.

    Torièn finally found a new ice elemental, and started to reconstruct the ice sanctuary on the Frozenlant mountain, the northeast point of Royal Tachiza.

    Back into Hadesh territory, the group finally gathers again, this time with the presence of Tklahonomára, now an important contact with the Guild of Commerce.

    They talk about many things, and the Enemy seems to be a creature from the future. A creature unbornt, and no one, not even the black elves know who He is. At this meeting, Hadesh sensed the presence of Bogbog, the god his cavallier, and he let Hadesh know he had manned to convince the race of the desert Templeship to hand the Rings still inside the Two Orbs of Past and Future. Then, during the meeting, by midday, a huge numbers of birds simply came flying over the valley, and Hadesh made a very fast move and runned inside the Cave.

    - Mooonstersss! Take 'em awaaaaay! Take 'em awaaaaaaaay!

    After the birds go away, Tacke just says to him when he was back "You're affraid of birds", but the group didn't commented about it so long.

    The next day, Bogbog handed the two Rings of Magic, the true and the fake to them.

    - I'll have it to you, but things are far from safe up there. Bog. You need to put timeflox back to normal, as soon as this is possible. I don't have time to talk. Bog. Take care.

    There were so many things they wanted to ask the old forgotten god, but he simply vanished.

    So, they decided the Ring of Life was to be used by the djine Báech, because he needs it to understand better his new race, and guide the new djines. Their bodies were transformed, into the universal components, and this is probably the most powerful race now on Toj. Without a master. Báech accepted to be their leader, and they with no other options would like him. He's the most djine amongst the djines. He had always respected the taboos, and he could breack 'em easily, but didn't. The meeting goes, and they united precious news about the other empires, now the anchor has ended.

    The Ring of Magic didn't accepted Hadesh as a start, but the takkar puts the Ring the same way, wayting to lose his hand to the Ring, but nothing happened.

    They have now all the original Major Rings of Ambar, and the fake of Magic.

    Suddenly, the Priatel ruledom was immersed into strange and fearsome magic clouds on the horizon, the family started to send quick messages every family member, but something was happening.

    Torièn looked the horizon, and saw a huge number of creatures made by the clouds, like monsters, and the Ring of Time says it's a time attack.

    Torièn, Ayasta and Tacke simply say at the same time "Put all the Rings together".

    By the power of the Rings of Ambar, they started to fight the creatures, and keep away the strange time attack, and this took more than one hour.

    - Dissipère! (they cried, after the very long casting time).

    Then, the attack ceases and they take a rest, before continuing the meeting later, to see the Rings get eshausted and could not be used now again. Tacke thought of asking for the power of his Ring, but it was sleeping. He knows his Ring's wise, maybe more than the Ring of intelligence.

    Ayasta became a statue.

    The Rings of Ambar stay, in order. Time, with Ayasta. Magic, with Hadesh. Life, with Báech. Intelligence, with Torièn. Death, with Tacke.

    So, they decide the fake rings would be used by Lena the rogue princess to reconstruct Báech islands.

    Torièn takes Ayasta to the sanctuary, and ask to talk with Dylan the Sacerdot. "He's an artificer, and he'll probably know what to do", he thinks.

    But he doesn't, and he so went to the vault to get his precious Tome of Wisdom.

    - I need to know who can cast magic of time - he asks the book.
    - There's very rare one who can. It's called a Bender. He bends time by his wishes, in any direction, but if this was a bending attack he took serious damage by now - the tome answered.
    - Thank you, Tome.

    He closed the Tome and put it back into the vault.

    The next week, four villages were attacked by black elves, and water suplies were being shortened. A huge number of pilgrims and wanderers says no other villages are being attacked. "The east is safe, lord", said a wanderer to Rudyn at the northeast way near his mansion. Aethas asks Torièn to explain the family what they did, and he explains his group is one of the most powerful group in the trikumai, now. The elder concludes this is the reason for the attacks. Rudyn went to the Astral to ask for information, and came back in two days with Spike, saying the black elves don't go the Astral planes.

    Aksias, with Tacke's help, concludes the black elves are in fact five races.

    This way, it make no sense their attacks. They even don't speak the same language, and most of the elves are weak, much weaker than a sidha. They start to think they're being sent to die, and to poison the water to a future attack on the ruledom.

    Tacke asks the Ring of Death to pass all his knowledge to him.

    During a day, he entered a trance, in his home back in Ryklant, and time and magic didn't made any sense anymore, now he's in the deathmatch of dealing with this knowledge. He discovers during this he cannot take the Ring off his finger anymore, but decides not to tell anyone. Well, anyone outside his selected group, which includes his family, and his wife says it was a dangerous choice, but she's proud of him. His daughter Delanda, she says he's to become the most known necromancer of all times, and she'll be on his side.

    Tacke is different, but the only one who noticed this when he was back to Priatel was Torièn's master, Aksias, the son heir of Naraleiva, the Copper Dragon.

    He, unspite the danger of this, decides to keep it secret.

    (At The Academy fo Ryklant)

    Since the new magic has bornt, Ayasta asked Tacke to write the new Books of Magic, throught which students would neart it. As the goddess of magic, Ambar, is dead, the Academy accepted the new godess advices, together with the Avatar of Drakmai's advices.

    Tacke, now with power and knowledge enough to do it, writes the books.

    It took a two weeks effort, revisions, talking with Ayasta many times, he also asked some important questions to the Senhor dos Sonhos, and Drahmai.

    The attacks on Priatel simply ended, without notice.

    So, at the Academy, Tacke takes the Five Books of Magic to the Council who rule the world organization, and with him he takes Ayasta.

    When they entered the frontyards, every student know now she's the new Goddess.

    One came in her direction, and she stoped to listen.

    - I believe in you, Ayasta. My dreams say you have the way to the future of Magic.

    She just took his magic off, and put it again. She knows now, that what she did with Tacke is indeed the way to find new ways to magic.

    No one knows or notice anything, only Tacke.

    Tacke waited during a five hour long meeting, outside the Doors of Mistery. The Council accepted the new ways, and now every student will have a monk training added to the skills of magic, to empower the individual power which the new magic can operates, and so the mages will need only their control over themselves to control the new way, and Ayasta would be free to take care of everything else at the same time. Part of the magic will be restored, says the Avatar of Drahmai, a children same way every Avatar. Ayasta explained Tack she says she knows the old magic will come back, but time has changed, and the old way will need to adapt to the new way.
    He smiled softly, by that explanation.

    (Back to Priatel's)

    Since the attacks ceased, they started to reconstruct to new attacks.

    Tacke concludes in talking with Hadesh that the goal of those attacks was to steal some item from the pilgrims, as most of what the black elves did was steal from them. That being said to the Priatel Council, Aethas says Torièn needs now to change his castle officially into a Sanctuary, and a new guard would be created. "I'll live at the Frozenlant Mountain, Aethas. The Castle is a Sanctuary now, officially", he answered. He remembered his time with Dudin and Tayala, by the lake, "Good times" he misses. Hadesh stoped being so visited and could help with injured workers by the new Sanctuary constructions, as he's known as a medic, and a good one.

    Tklahonomára makes finally the deals with Nine Realms, Royal Tachiza and Abbas, to form a new route of commerce for wood suplies during wartime.

    He went to Nine Realms to order ships to commerce the wood into the empire.

    There, he asks for fifteen ships. Ten from the deal, five for himself. He asks the officials to keep this amongst them, as the ships could be needed into the years to come. They'd be easily transformed into warships, and he also negociated and fixed a number of new taxes, as the problem with Báech Islands had not yet ended. He says to the Nine Realms the question will find it's solution soon.

    Even so, the Nine Realms didn't took away their armada from araound the Island.

    (News from the World)

    The monotheist empire of Trappke, with the notice the black elves stoped attacking is moving a huge number of people to it's frontiers.

    Back at Prilsýppea, the land of djines, the Regent was contolling th enew djines with food.

    They need fungus to survive.

    Barbarians sent messages to Royal Tachiza, the Norlands, land of the sun changs, small but ferocious, and to the black stonecasters of the east.

    They're prepared to war, if someone attacks them.

    And the far south continent was a mystery.

    Not to say no one knows much of what happens by the east continent, so huge as half of the great continent.

    (News from Sama, the City of Temples)

    After all this time, the whole world's waiting for a war.

    Not that this is prophecyzed. No. It's much worse than that. The attacks of black elves had put all empires into a warfare state of defense.

    New soldiers are being armed, and trained.

    Sama, the capital of Royal Tachiza, asked the Priatel and a small number of ruledoms which were attacked, to send a noble to the capital to explain it all. After a week or so, they talked, and gathered all the news from every corner of the world of Toj.

    The only good news, the tow twin worlds, Kalagoktoe and Treiyka.

    They're not at war, and messenger say they won't enter any side, not to mention the oggres have a long time shivalry amongst two factions, and no one should interfere.

    Dragons are all waiting for a moment to deal with fake dragons, like the Silver fake dragon from Nine Realms, says the Copper and Saphire dragons to the Sama messengers who have been sent.

    The Castlelands of the west, everyone knowns are peacefull.

    A weaker empire amongst all, and the first conflict would probably be in there.

    Some Questions necessary

    Is this the main reason the black elves went past to die for?

The Thomb of Ddud #00

    Helo, and Be welcome to the Blog.

    This is a resume version of the Story, Stolen Dreams.

    To follow the final version, go to this post.

    About the Story

    I did lost track of time, again, because the real play was one year ago. I have the notes, but I did not included the date on the notes.

    The Tomb of Ddud

    Torièn received a message from Mai, and he invites her to his sanctuary.

    His sanctuary's inside the eternal icy mountains, Fronzenlant. An enormous number of chambers lay inside, with most unknown rooms, and secrets.

    Torièn's the only one the dangerous ice ancient elemental lets enter the chambers of that place, or those who he invites to enter, so everyone must wait for the alchemist to let them enter first.

    So, Torièn waited for his group to come to the meeting.

    Báech and Kristalla were the first, and so Tacke, and Hadesh, then they prepared to enter the chamber with the inscription down there.

    ----- The Tomb of Ddud -----

    Hadesh and Kristalla come at the front. She disarmed the traps, and Hadesh was aware to enter her front in case any trap was activated. The entrance's a number of rooms, to make someone get lost, so there's a staircase, which goes zigzag, with numerous traps, basically all magical. All the structure's made of a strange rock, non native to this place, a rock like marble, polished and beautiful, but they all sense this is dangerous, because it may be part of a magic enchantment to control their minds.

    Several minutes later, Hadesh stoped.

    - Kristalla vanished - he resumed to the others.
    - She's fine (says Torièn). Believe me. She's the best rogue I've ever seen.
    - We know it (considers Báech), Torièn, but don't you think,...
    - This,... - the mage pointed to the opening wall.

    The wall started to open, to let a passage on it, and they finally came to the inner chamber.

    Kristalla's on the side of a staircase, disabling a mechanic trap. As they were able to enter, they saw the marvel of a cube made of a strange material, obviously magical. The cube's dark blue, with many many slots and things that look like lines, all connected to each other.

    All of a sudden, they can't see Kristalla and Torièn senses danger.

    - Teleport Kristalla back, Báech - says Torièn - This is my turn.

    Of course, Torièn activated a number of traps while coming to the cube. Blood started to stain his clothes, but a small problem, considered where they are.

    Torièn came closer, and he started to see the lines, with a very old version of the sun chang script. Old runes, with inscriptions in line. He started to read 'em. It says "And so He created the Illusion. The illusion of matter. Saw by the eyes of those who want to see. Pleasure, pleasure which cures even the Enemy", and Torièn senses corruption, but corruption in raw state. He keeps reading, and started to ask the Ring of intelligence to help. The sense of corruption's so strong it even pushes Torièn backwards. He reads words he never saw, as "Doxa", in the lines which say "Death is reserved to them. The Doxa of Choice", and he ignores the cuts on his flesh to ask the Ring what was that, after all.

    - Doxa is the universal law of free choice. To not chose's still chose - says the ring.

    Suddenly, the cube changed.

    - What's happening, ring?
    - Well, I assume the cube will open, if you read it all - suggests the ring.
    - He's still alive, inside this prison. It's even worse than,... damn, I forgot his name,... Saint Krunk's brother. What do you think, Ring?
    - I think you're right.

    To know finally what the Fronzenlant mountain hold down there's enough. Torièn goes back, and is hitted again, into another trap. It near misses him. He freezed the blade, and hits it to break with his staff of power, at the time it passes trying to cut his head off. Together, they start to go back, and notice all traps come back to it's armed position, while they backwards.

    Off the tomb, Lena was waiting for them.

    - I think I saw inside the tomb, Torièn. (says her) It looks as a sun chang baby. And it's, like,... sleeping.
    - To know what is in there is enough for me, princess. We need to be careful, because this chamber cannot ever be opened, I'm pretty sure of it.
    - What's written in the lines, Torièn?
    - Well, Hadesh. I prefere not to talk about that.
    - Why?
    - Oke. It's a huge collection of sayings about Free Choice, but that doesn't make sense.
    - That doesn't make sense to You - says the takkar.
    - What are you saying? I know what is free choice, and you're not the one to tell me that.
    - Why? Are you saying my choice of protecting you all during all the time, risking my head everysense, is not a sure demonstration of free choice? No, no,.. I'm doing it just because you're nobles. And of course, this is my destiny, to serve the royalty of the ejik race. This is nonsense, Torièn.
    - Watch your mouth, Hadesh - says the mage.
    - YOu wanna know what? I'm TIRED of it! I'm always risking my LIFE! MY life. And you give not the credit for that, no no, you're the biggest of us, you go on the front. TIRED! You're a bunch of INGRATES!
    - HOLD YOUR MOUTH, TAKKAR! YOU DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!
    - EXACTLY! TAKKAR! I'M NOT YOUR EJIK SERVANT, SIR!

    Tacke immediately casts the No Physical Attack spell, waiting for the problem.

    Hadesh and Torièn kept shouting each other, until Torièn teleport him outside the temple, from inside the mountain to the outside frost.

    Torièn went to a corner and got that "No talking" face.

    (The Enemy's waiting)

    Hadesh immediately saw where he was.

    At the place the elemental Ice lives, the most aggressive elemental ever. He says "Shit" in takkar race language, but there was no time to run.

    An imense mass of ice urged from beneath the ground, and attacked.

    - I challenge you, ancient elemental of ice! - he shouted.

    But the elemental really wants to kill him, and that doesn't made him stop.

    Hadesh got his Book off the Bag, because he knows he's not enough to confront a tremendous beast of nature, and he was lifted by a mass of ice. He took so much damage he believed he'd die in some next moment. No hope, no chance.

    Up there, he was thrown at the ground, and lifted up again.

    He assumed takkar beast form, to start regenerate, and opened the Book, trying to focus the most powerful spell the Dark Grimoire could ever let him cast.

    (At the Sanctuary)

    - Torièn! Hadesh's being attacked! - cried Tacke.
    - What do I have to do with this? I don't care what happens with him.
    - It's the ice elemental, only you can do something.
    - Ahh! Why do I have to help him? Oke. Let go outside, and see what's happening.

    They all got off the sanctuary, by teleport lightning, except Mai.

    (The Death of a beloved Friend)

    - Hellfire! - Hadesh shouted, at the same time the group gets there by teleport.

    A huge ball, of fire and icy storm, that's what they see.

    - That's black magic! - cries Torièn.
    - Now, you're concerned about black magic, Torièn? - asked Tacke.
    - He killed the ice elemental! HADESH! - shouted the mage.
    - You teleported him (says Tacke). It's your fault.

    Most of the icy mountain simply melted, and the mage's angry with his fellow, but they see him.

    When Hadesh assumed snakedragon form, the elemental broke his left wing.

    Hadesh was in pain. Real pain. So, he senses something. He senses there is someone in there, wainting, in the woods down there. He can't see anything, and the pain is terrible. It didn't helps much. He focus his special abilites, every and each one, on finding what's wrong.

    Then, he sees, a man completely melted with the trees by the base of the icy mountain.

    He can't do anything, and he's just focusing on the little life in himself.

    So, the man moves and starts to come near, up there. He's using strange clothes, like those of Haratchi, the witch of the planes.

    - You,... - the man says to the group - must know this book must be destroyed.
    - I don't care if you do that - Torièn's angry, and he can't believe Hadesh had killed the elemental, so furious he's not even trying to cure his fellow.
    - What do you want, stranger? - says Tacke.
    - You don't have the power to destroy this Dark Book, but I do.

    They all stay in silence, waiting.

    - So be it - says the man, and he destroys Hadesh'es book, the Dark Grimoire's dead.

    The group could not believe, nor Hadesh.

    Hadesh fainted, and Tacke levitated him back inside the sanctuary.

    (At The frequecy of Light, again)

    - I know, Tacke. But he desearved that. The book was dangerous, anyway, even if I can agree with you that the book was his.
    - You keep saying there's a relation between the Mummy King and the basyliskes, but I can't see what - says the professor, and he sees Lena's on a corner with Mai, explained what happened.
    - I don't know. I need to meditate, Tacke.
    - Go for it.

    Daytel, who he's known outside his territory, entered the frequency of Light.

    The last time was when the Mummy King was created.

    And there is someone in there. A lone mind. He focused that presence, saying helo in the form of energy, in the form of a mind looking for answers.

    - Helo - he says.

    The presence says nothing.

    This way, he starts to say all his worries. Not any information that could be a secret. He's not an idiot. Just what happens, his group, fellows, family. He hates politics. They all make things too complicated, all the time, and he's tired of saying this and that, and nothing works. He's sure of these things, and nobody listen. Not even the Council of Light, in here, this mind metaplane. No one's doing a thing to solve what's wrong. Why people just want to do things their way, and not listen to any sense, to his solutions?

    He's tired of trying to keep the balance between the group.

    Good times were those with Dudin and Tayala.

    They all needed to solve a mystery, of why the magic faul was happening. Why? Because they wanted to do what was right. They did found a solution, and he has passed the tests from the greater god of Shadeza, to be able to get the bumppers, and put them in the needed place.

    Those were two people who listen, even if they're not much friendly most of the time.

    Why does he needs this group?

    Why does he needs to stay into unending labyrinths, with no action. They don't agree, when he's pretty sure of everything he says.

    Why?

    - Helo - says a voice of a man, ejik - I notice you're angry, and if you can enter this attune state metaplane, you're not a bad person, for sure. I have not understood what you said about the Council of Light, but I,... I mean, do you want to talk?
    - I just can't see the actions being taken, by the Council.
    - That doesn't mean the Council's doing nothing. I pretty think you know there's an Enemy,... I mean,... an Enemy no one knows who he really is. That needs much more actions from the Council of Light, who usually gathers using this metaplane, than mortals could imagine.
    - I just,... think,... (says Torièn),... that doing things to entities, without questioning, is to become a fanatic, and there is no good in this.
    - I'm here,... for the same question as you, by the way it looks.
    - What's your problem, then?
    - I'm Don Kaowe, the leader of monks. This invasion to Royal Tachiza, and the holding of the Duke heirs, this,.. is,... my fault. I'm the one responsible for training monks, and we should be able to predict any attack, but this time the royal vampires were better than us.
    - What is the real problem?
    - The real problem, well,... who are you?
    - Daytel, the alchemist - says Torièn, trying to keep this safe.
    - I see - says Kaowe - An alchemist with so much knowledge, enough to enter the frequency of light, you must be the most powerful alchemist on Toj.
    - I know a lot, specially about the elements.
    - Good. Well, the real problem is that if you're occupying the place of enemy of yourself, the war is over since the beginning. We monks protected people for the last five hundred years, we tought people, we fought wars, we studied nature, and medicine, we repaired the population clothes. And now that the goddess of Magic died, now, we noticed how magic is important, how stones of power, which stores magic the non arcanist can use, or the items of power which can perform some magic, how this all is important.
    - I can accept the challenge of not being my own enemy.
    - Huh-hng - he laughed - You've already done it, Daytel. Those who pass at Shadd'z tests are worthy, that's what that tests are for. To define, in a divine way, who are the ones the gods can rely on, to make a better world, and to keep the world safe from the enemy or enemies we're facing now.

    Torièn stays in silence, because that make sense.

    He remember the tests were not to make any more sense, if this were not true.

    So, this must be true.

    - Once, a mantis looked to a centipede, and he asked "How can you walk with so many legs", "Ohe, I don't know. Let me think about it", she answered, and she could not walk anymore.
    - I,... don't understand, Kaowe.
    - But you will - says him - Well, you helped me. To think about those tests was a real thing, something I had almost forgot, and there are people, yes, like you, who we can rely on. Some time ago, I thought I've lost my most prominent student, Torièn. But he's done the tests. Not from Shadd'z, but from the monasteries. He's still working, and now, I understand I can wait him to understand what he's doing, at Abbas. We're facing the same enemy, Daytel, and my old best student just beat me in a challenge of courage, invading Royal Tachiza.
    - And you made me to remember I've passed the tests.
    - So, good luck, Daytel the alchemist. We must honour those tests, and remember we have an Enemy to defeat, because we were tested, and we passed all the tests.
    - Honoured talking to you, Kaowe.
    - Do never forget, Daytel, that what's good on this life is that ours are some coices for we to make.
    - I won't forget that, Kaowe. Thank you.

    Torièn came back from the trance state, and he saw Hadesh being cured by Mai.

    He doesn't want to talk, but he had to admit.

    There's no way someone could defeat an ancient elemental of ice, and stay alive to tell the story, so this was, even if Hadesh had cheated using black magic, this was his test.

    (That night, at the Priatel ruledom,...)

    Torièn listened to the Ring of Intelligence's voice, and it says Mai needs to gain a lot of experience on life. She just can't ignore she's a powerful goddess.

    He agrees, and called her to a chess match, to start talking.

    Mai says she had a dream.

    She was a bit older, about fifteen, and she changed her name to Maika.

    That remembers her of Magic.

    Then, Torièn senses a visitor waiting for him at the entrance, the base of the mountain. He'll need to make this sanctuary him home, and move things a bit inside of it, until he can fina an ice elemental to stay at the place the old ancient elemental lived.

    It's Aksias, his master.

    - Hadesh and Tacke were attacked, by dark elves. We could arrest three of 'em.
    - How are them? They've been harmed?
    - The two are fine, and we must go interrogate those alves.
    - I'll send Mai to the sanctuary castle, first. I think it's time for her to mix with her kind, and Ayasta needs to start training her.
    - And I'll need to come to the Family Council, to explain what's happening.
    - Oke. We meet as soon as possible.

    (End of Session)

    Some Considerations necessary

    Now the Dark Grimoire's dead, how Hadesh is going to keep his Magic studies up to date?
