Game of 1-16-10
Posted By catskyfire on January 17, 2010
The party intended to head to Hillsfar to take care of the Hammer priest and then on to the Inverse Tower. They acquired tent and horses and wagon.
The weather was bitterly cold, ice and snowy. It was December and January. Then, at night, they started getting attacked. From above came hail, pyrotechnics, and other things. In different towns, they were not attacked. Asking various sources, the question was always ‘who did you piss off that much’?
Finally, one attack was a fireball, nearly killing two members of the party. Before the attack, Tavin was on his back, watching the sky with the Detect Magic ball. He saw, high above, a person, who cast the spell and then disappeared.
Once in Hillsfar, the group turned the priest over to the Temple of the Hammer where Cyric had trained. At the temple, Cyric talks about Killaj Aslan, dragons, and giants. The Headmaster says that there had been reports of giants near Starmantle and showed great distress at the idea of the return of dragons and giants, as both tend to devastate the land and people.
Using some of the gemmed weapons, the party learned the general direction of the True Heir - to the southwest of Hillsfar, in the direction of the Capital City (Suzail).
Then the party headed to Ravens Bluff to find out more about the Inverse Tower. They chose to take a boat to get there. They chose to keep watching at night. One night, they heard swearing from above before the wizard vanished. The party realized that their attacker was not going to hurt others, just them. They started searching through their possessions to see if they found something that the wizard was focusing on. They found Slimey, the sentient slime from the wizard Alisandy’s tower. She was the mage who had caused the zombie plague. They now know how she’s finding them, now they just have to figure out how to stop her.
Reaching Raven’s Bluff, they find that this area is a major training area for the military, especially the elite Ravens groups. They talk with the sage Tarak. Everyone seeking the great testing area of Emperor Lozer talks to him. He indicates where it is believed to be, but indicated that nobody ever came back to tell them they’d found it. In his youth, he’d looked, but being that the tower was in the ground, never found it either. He did share with them a paper with the lineage of the Mark.
Lineage of the Mark
The Mark - Birth name Markus Valeros.
After purging the land of much evil with his companions, he finalized his position of power by marrying Rissa Taliestra of the Elves. He combined their names to be his family name, Valestra, and named the land Talis. The calendar then began with year one of his reign.
