Tea #45

PCs are invited to tea with dunscon to trade rune axe for their bodies back

Sparticus tries a few times to super tk out the axe from its compartment on hughbot before finally grabbing it.

Enraged caldor starts choking drago/john the skinny human body, nearly killing him (9hp left)

Meanwhile a giant DemonDog nearby spotted the arguing party members and started to move in for the kill...

Sparticus put up some TK forcefeilds to block Caldor and pulled Drago in Johns body back towards sparticus's safty. The demon dog smashes against the force bubble awhile which also protects Caldor. Then the bubble drops. Caldor had to deal with the demon dog while the other two escaped, finally Caldor escaped as well after chasing the dog which was still chasing Sparticus for awhile.

Once they get dunscon the axe, he portals all of them (willingly or not) back to their bodies, does a spell to put them back in and then ports them back to his kingdom. "You will be of further use to me, oh yes"

[BACKSTORY]
Long have 3 of the characters, Drago, Sparticus, and Kaldor been stuck in other bodies after time magic was used on their original bodies. Only through the divine will of Kymnarkmar himself were they able to free their minds of the timelock put on their bodies by unknown forces. After their minds battled free of kymnarkmars prison in mummies thd dragongod prepared for this purpose, they escaped to rifts earth, FINALLY battling enough things and gathering power in these inferior bodies, enough power to trade for the dark magics nessicary to unlock the time magic used to "stabilize" their old bodies... for after the region was horribly destabilized in the timestream by the disoriented ISis (poisoned by set with amnesia), there was a TIME LOCK put on the area. Dunscon broke that lock with glee, freeing the players original, bodies. They left their old bodies at the site aparetnly.

Contining on...

Dunscon promises the most powerful caster in the group Drago lordship and entry for all his vassals into the federation of magic if he will only conquer 4 nexus's to the east.

Drago agrees and they plan to take the first nexus, the pre-rifts ruins of Athens Kentucky

Plasma the psigoblin is given a platoon of psigoblins (8) he sells 4 to sparticus for 20k who now is a psi-slayer and must consume ppe/isp to use his powers. Something was done to Sparticus in his captivity to the soul sucking followers of nxla , something that left him unable to regen isp.

The rest of the Psi goblins settle down in Athens with the few survivors of a cultist attack.

After a breif battle with some harvesters lurking in the town, the PCs get to know a few surviving inhabitants.

Thelma is the matron of the the town and unofficial leader of the survivors. She says they will rebuild Athens and stay, regardless of the danger of harvesters returning. The inhabitants of Athens are at a 19th century level of technology and none have energy or magic weapons.

Thelma beggs the Party to investigate New Port, a town to North West and also one of the Nexus points the players were asked to conquer for Dunscon in the name of the Federation of Magic.

Thelma says that some of the survivors have family and friends who tried to flee to New Port when Athens was earlier attacked by HArvesters. Noone has heard from New Port since and people are worried that the same fate has bestruck that small fishing community to the north west, along the border river between the ancients states of Ohio and Kentucky.

Thelma is given a 2k agate and a Dagger, she claims to be a Techno Wizard who is down on her luck with the recent war against the Harvestors.

Drago and the rest of the PCs suit up and decide where to go next. Plasma the Psigoblin settles down in Athens with his remaining 4 goblins, and states he will remain in Athens indefinitely to "secure" the town. The human inhabitants of Athens look on dubiously as the Psigoblins take over a burntout homestead on the outskirts of town but noone moves to stop them and some even look releived to finally have some force, any force in area to protect them.

John Green



John Greene (a.k.a. The Choose One)

John Green was once a devout follower of Kymnarkmar, who lived with Kymnarkmar in the prison, Celestia. Upon his death John Green's body was preserved via the Dragonwright Rituals of Mummification, awaiting its day of reactivation. Kymarkmar used the mummified remains of his most devout followers in this fashion, as vessels for the consciousness of people he removes from Timelocks, paradox's and other Impossibilities supposedly linked to the Old Ones.
Kymnarkmar has not been known to show direct action in this way in over 10000 years and for him to make his presence known now means there is probably the direct threat of Old One or Alien Intelligence invasion somewhere near by.

The Elf Mystic Kash Communed with Kymnarkmar from the outside world and was taught the secrets of Dragonwright Rituals. Kash was then lead to the entrance to Celestia on Rifts earth and used the secrets he learned to gain entrance. While adventuring in the Celestia dungeon the Elf found some of the mummies left by Kymarkmar's long dead followers, and managed to complete the Dragonwright Rituals to bind the Timelocked conciousnesses of Drago, Sparticus, and Caldor into the bodies of a Human Wizard, a Human Monk, and a Lizardman Ranger.

This Human Wizard body is the one Drago now wears.

-=-=-=-=-

Caldor and the rest of the group hide out in his office after the heat was on at Johns gardening job following the multiple murder of 3 boys outside by one party member, and a smg firing in the office by a second, now petrified party member.

The office has many earthquakes and one applicant orc, glorg. Glorg polishes hughbot before Caldor sends him to investigate the crashing noises by going into the tunnels in back of the office which lead deeper. After a short while they hear the screams of agony of the orc from inside the cave, then nothing.

At this point Plasma is sent by Denali to locate the group. He finds the office and walks in, trying to steal a ledger on the desk which is used to requisition goods for the office. He fails his pick pocket roll and caldor seems to ignore it, pretending to want to give plasma a job out of kindness.

Then caldor takes back the stolen ledger from Plasma and he demands that Plasma go find out what ate his first employee the orc.

Plasma sneaks down and finds another lower chamber with orc parts, a table and some eggs. He takes one of the eggs and decides against going into the hole in this room, instead climbing back up with the egg. Plasma then shows the party the egg, someone John identifies it as a blow worm egg. Then plasma gets sent to the main office of the sanitation department by Caldor to get help. He brings back 4 canisters of nerve gass anti blow worm agent.

The party decides to toss one of the canisters down the hole. Then John creates a stone plug with create stone.

when it looks like something is about to break through the plug, John casts ice wall on it. Then there is a huge gush of wind and a small hole blows through the wall, carrying with it the gas. The party saves vs the wave of their own gass and sees a beastial man riding a blow worm.

Blow worm aka Sand Worm, This one was Rifted in from the desert world of Arrakis to serve the mysterious shifter.


The man also summons some fire worms which engage in battle with Max, Bluey, and Plasma. Bluey put up protection from fire and was save from some fireballs. MAx's armor took some burn damage as did Plasma. Plasma do many bursts from his tk rifle driving away some of the smaller worms. Max saw the man start casting magics against them all and aimed his last rocket at the enemy mage. the rocket struck true and the mage was blown off into the horizon to his (assumed?) death. The blow worm continued to rampage.

John failed a dodge roll against a full body slam once the worm ate Bluey. Luckily Johns invincible armor spell held, though he was driven through a hole in the pavement into the sewers. John shot the beast from below with his flame thrower

There is a heated battle and Bluey is consumed by the blowworm alive, inside his T40 environmental body armor, which starts to rot from the digestive juices. While bluey frantically tries to cut his way out, the other party members battle the magic using man on top of the worm.

Finally the surviving PCs are met by bewildered Dweomerites. Max has saved a woman and child from firm worms who thank him and then leave in terror. A few fire fighters show up and put out the blaze. Plasma meets a kid named 5I who trades him some dataspikes which help with computer hacking for a 70k piece of data Plasma hacked out earlier. A poor bunch of kids start to follow Max and Sparticus after offered a place in the Army of Thunder.

Denali then tells the group to come to the embassy. There they hear that she doesn't know what the three are up to, they have disappeared. There are rumors of a coalition army from the west headed east towards Dweomer. Denali wants Plasma to hack into the Robot Island techies and find out what they know about the army and rumors the three have left the city. She says perhaps the true federation can exploit this weakness and if her master is to make plans like it they need more information. Plasma manages to hack a few things including the supposed location of the mayors house containing the prison.




While slowly traveling they find a Beast Dragon in the way, which they avoid.

Then they meet Two Elves on an Elephant. The Elves are Kale and One and claim to be a couple here form Thai places.

Kale suggests going astral, which John and he do as a miracle... flying in and rescuing Sparticus by destroying the magic colars enslaving him and the other 3, one girl, one demon, and esrith. Sparticus superTKs the four out of the top tower of the Mayor's house and they meet up with the rest of the party before fleeing towards the City of Brass with the rescued Federation of Magic councilman Cracius.

Sparticus

The Group then meets Renalds Rotary Club, 3 buses for hire lead by Renald. Sparticus tells him he can live if his buses swear to The Army Of Thunder and give his 20 child followers passage. Renald reluctantly agrees and the party takes one bus, the kids take a 2nd bus, and renald and his group and some kids take a third bus.


After many more miles a strange deity known as Balphegor blocks their path. It claims in exchange for sacraficing one of their party it will give great treasure from the chest it stands on. A strange humanoid male with a secondary demonic likeness... John doesn't waste any time after it demands the recently rescued coalition-connected girl. He petrifies the demon and they continue on into The City Of Brass.


Current location: Somewhere between Ohio and Kentucky, deep in the magic zone

Dweomer Job Interviews #42

The Characters settle into their new digs in Dweomer. First up is Caldor.

Caldor arrives with his work ticket at the Dweomer Department of sanitation. A crude stonage building, he enters to see many jeering giants and a cage with weapons inside setup. He meets Turg the Orc Department of Sanitation HR worker. Turg tells Caldor he has to fight a Giant named Gorak to the death for his interview. Caldor agrees.

Then Caldor kills the orc. This enrages many who now argue he has too many positions open to him. Others just want to kill him. Finally they agree to conclude the interview by having Caldor fight Gorak the giant, and the Wife and Brother of Turg.

Caldor brings Hughbot into the cage claiming the bot is for medical needs.

Once the battle begins Caldor orders Hughbot to rip the head off Turgs brother. While he does this Turgs wife grabs a chainsaw hanging from a chain.

Meanwhile Caldor pulls the Axe from Hughbot and starts chopping parts of the Giant. the giant tries to bash Caldor with a pipe before Caldor cuts one hand off and wrist cripples the other before finally killing the giant. Returning to Hughbot Caldor is awarded 2 posistions in the Department along with one open position. Caldor is now a Tunnel Maintenance Operator 7 in the Dweomer Department of Sanitation through the sacred interview process of Mortal Combat. This gets im a random discount of %5 for ever # over 14 rolled on a d20 when shopping in Dweomer. And some dirty jobs...

John on the other hand gets acquainted with his Palladium League job. After interviewing him on his mystical aptitude tests, they determin most of his abilities are useless to the League and only reluctantly assign him to the Gardening Division making statues once they realize he can Petrify things and increase plant growth.
The Dweomer mages of the Palladium League seem obsessed with Illusion which is not one of John's strong points...

John gets assigned a small room in the basement of the Palladium League School Laboratory.

Outside town a bewhildered Bluey managed to track the group by smell north to the outskirts of Dweomer. There he encountered a Battle Magus named John Henry flying an Ice Drake (and played by another player). The two got into a fight.

Bluey tried to radio John for help before the Battle Magus broke his phone in half with a natural 20. All John got was a message from Blue going "John Get..."

Then Bluey hightailed it onto his ATV and crashed through the forest.

The Battle Magus DDP operative Called for backu0 on his communicator...

There was a speedy chase where the ATV was unable to evade the Ice Drakes flight abilities for long, after a few successful piloting rolls to gain 15ft of distance between the chasing Drake, Bluey finally failed when crossing a stream, flying off his ATV.

Bluey cast blinding flash against the Ice Drake Piloting Dweomer Defense Patrolman.

Then Bluey high tailed it away from the area.

Meanwhile, when the DDP backup units arrived wishing to know where the threat was, Scott Henry simply shrugged and did a little dance. "Acting very strange now that he was possibly exposed to outsiders..." his superiors thought. So they assigned him to cleanup duty at the fight Caldor had earlier... there he disregarded his direct orders to clean and was kicked out of the military and exiled from Dweomer for disrespecting superior officers and ignoring a direct order.

Day 2 In Dweomer

Bluey finally manages to stumble on the outside of Dweomer but he doesn't know it yet due to the Illusions. At this point Scott Henry gets exiled and is kicked out for his neglecting duties in day 1. Angry, he starts a second fight with Bluey. This starts to escalate out of control with Bluey taking hit point damage from Choking before finally throwing off the irate Battle Magus.

Finally John arrives coming out of the city to investigate the earlier cut off message from Bluey. He bribes the guards 1k to get both of them in and they hide out in his little room under the magic school.

Little Max the disguised Necromancer has been stuck with Denali all of this time trying to help intimidate them into giving her a hearing with the Three, rules of Dweomer. Finally she is granted said hearing to plead her case. She is trying to get a negate magic scroll capable of dispelling the forcefield used by the harvestors to guard their prison. Inside the prison are several of her original team as well as Sparticus. The Three however are legendarily slow to react and indecisive, said to calculate all likely future events odds and choose among the best only when they all come to a consensus. This might take awhile so Max goes to find John.

He finds the magic school, but remember he has been painted with Disguise to look like a Mud Golem Nercomonger. Outside the school are 3 Frat Boy Toughs, they try to fight him and wont let him in. He doesnt mess around, leveling the TW rocket staff and fireing one at them. Two are killed and one lies under a pile of rubble from the exterior school wall which now lies in ruins.

John hears the noise and comes out, ushering Max inside his tiny room before anyone sees.

Outside they hear alot of cops and fire men working to repair the damage.

In side the tiny room, perhaps from earlier insanity the smuggled in Battle Magus exile starts ranting and pulls out a sub machine gun. Fearing their cover blown with so many cops outside, John tells him to stop. The Battle Magus doesn't and fires a brief burst which luckily misses. John then succeeds in petrifying him, adding another statue for tomorrows gardening.

Finally Denali invites them back to the Embassy. It seems they have another Psi Goblin inside the Harvester Company operations. This goblin is trying to get vital information on the prison layout back to the Federation of Magic embassy in Dweomer where Denali has applied for aide.

The goblin is none other than Plasma, the lone survivor of an earlier encounter with the players where they murdered his best friend knife.

The team is sent to extract him from the forests outside dweomer. They get to the forest and find the goblin under attack by 2 Harvestors and an Air Warlock. After battling them, Max Blows the Air warlock out of a tree after getting call lightnings. Caldor kills his nearly dead remains with his axe. One of the harvesters is killed and the other possibly escapes. The players now have a new group member for now, Plasma the Psigoblin follows them back to Dweomer's Federation of Magic Embassy.

Plasma the PsiGoblin

Plasma is a Psi Goblin. He was brought to earth by Dunscon and followed his warlord One eye. After doing various menial jobs for Dunscon his warlord grew tired of it. When they were ordered to guard a female named Denali, one eye did not object but instead plotted revenge. Following a female was too much to take and One eye later took a treasonous mission from the Corporation of Corn harvesters, a shadowy organization harvesting semi sentient corn dbees for their magic ppe energies. Plasma saw his fellow goblins disable and restrain Denali before she miraculously drug herself onto one of their seige engines and capapulted off onto the horizon.
The corporation cannot afford to have its affairs meddled with by the Federation of Magic and Plasma has been working with others in league with the corporation to keep things quiet and scout their boarders looking for incursions. This is when he met the other players.

Rescue of Sparticus Detour to Dweomer #41

Intro:

Sparticus has been captured by evil Company recruiters. Can the players rescue him in time? Who is the mysterious girl? Will thulls mud poltice heal her? Will the Corn Fever ever be cured? Will the party make it home to Tolkeen?


Scene:

Outside a river near the supposed yet un-found location of the mythical city of Dweomer.

The Characters are on the south beach.


The Axe That Cannot Be Bought or Sold (thanks Ivanhoe for this idea)

John and Caldor discuss the strange dark rune axe John found earlier. Bringing it up forces will saves vs hypnotic suggestion magic. Failing makes the victim want to defeat anyone stopping them from getting the axe, and take the axe for themselves. It is a very ancient rune axe and Caldor fails the save against its corrupting influence. Knowing John has hidden the axe in a box, Caldor tells hughbot to try to find the box. Hughbot goes after it but John realizes and carpets him. finding out about caldors lust for the axe doesn't help much though.

Later Caldor has a Powerarmor malfunction, clogged air intake from the mud. He tries to get hughbot to fix it but hughbot is only a cyberdoc not a robot mechanic. Noone else knows how to fix it so he tries to fly anyway, blowing a huge chunk of mud out which splatters on the players, rolling 3 or under on a d6 means you get hit. Only drago is hit. When Caldor realizes this a good distraction instead of piloting his armor correctly he bluffs being out of control and covers John in mud as well as slightly splattering the others. During the chaos John catches fever from mud poisoning and passes out. Hughbot manages to steal the axe. Caldor and his bot run away for awhile and caldor checks out his new prize. Meanwhile John dusts off, noone seems to realize hughbot has stolen the box and John offers it to the girls leader, Dunscon. She says her name is Denali and that perhapse with such a gift her master would be willing to return the players out of their original bodies back into them. John especially likes this, but then realizes he is missing the Axe. Caldor comes back with the axe but there isn't much of a fight about it. The axe seems to be too evil for anyone but Caldor to weild...it hurt John when he touched it. Caldor didnt think he needed the wartroll anymore now that he had the axe's power so he left it and drago took it back.

Later the group sees two goblin scouts sniffing around across the river who later disappear. They also see a large dust cloud a mile north across the river signaling a large group traveling in their direction. Max managed to intercept more radio signals from goblin units looking for the missing goblins from episode #40.

While they are staring at the goblin scouts Jean Marc rides his horse up from the south. Earlier they had met this strange Tree Druid, he claimed to work as a spy against the Company. He tells them he knows of the location of a great tower prison where he thinks Sparticus is most likely captured. But the tower is protected by a magical forcefield he doesn't think can be breached without powerful magic.

Jean Marc sees the groups difficulty healing the strange woman they found on the bank of the river. He uses one of his healing blankets to bring the girl out of her coma. She then is able to weakly crawl. She claims she must find her "safe house" and demands to return south a short ways away from the river. Jean Marc recalls seeing a Spiny ravenger making a lair in the middle of the path while he was following the group using his dowsing rod, he wisely rode far out of his way to avoid the creature which the girl now stumbles directly towards. Instead of attacking her the great demon kneels before her and they see the safehouse she spoke of, a small cottage straped to his back with a throne on top for her to ride. She mounts her demon Spiny Ravenger, gets a huge black halberd from her cottage which she lies across her knees. She then tells her group they will follow her to Dweomer as her Federation of Magic Operatives. There she plans to force the leadership of Dweomer to honor the treaties with the Federation, and give them the power they need to defeat the magic barrier and rescue Sparticus along with her other federation operatives who were captured by the Corporation.


Goblin Sniper by *Plognark on deviantART
One Eye, leader of the traitorous Goblin band who turned on the Federation of Magic Party lead by Denali, capturing or killing all of them with the help of the Corporation.


They go back north and see a goblin army of about 100 goblins and a warlord goblin named One Eye. Denali says kill one eye and the rest will scatter. Instead Drago and the Fly as the Eagle enchanted Jean Marc fly over the goblins in a bombing run. Most of the goblins scatter from air support. The leader lobs a bomb with his longer ranged rifle and slightly damages Drago's wartroll. Jean Marc's bombs destroy 8 goblins but before they can continue the attack the rest scatter as they cant seem to have the range to fight back. The party steals one of the Goblins rafts and uses it to cross back north across the river, taking their truck and hughbot with them.


The opening of the Gates by ~scottflament on deviantART

After sometime they reach the fabled city of Dweomer. The town guards begrudgingly let them in after some arguments from Denali that they must honor the treaty. Earlier she tried to disguise all the players as real hardcore tested Federation of Magic Operatives. She only succeeded in painting up Max's powerarmor as that of a necromancer. They are allowed into town but the rest of the players must serve various groups around town for an undetermined amount of time to prove their loyalty to Dweomer and make up for their attempted deception. Some want them banished for the lies. Others just want them to pay for the great gift they have been given in being allowed entry. It seems elitism is very alive and well in Dweomer. Hopefully in time they can convince their new found benefactors of the various players usefulness to this very isolationist community. Most of Dweomer is suspicious of their ties to the Federation of Magic. Claiming to be a made man with the Federation is a very risky thing, with it come challenges and mistrust borne from the federations horrible failed war against the Coalition. Many of Dweomer are descendants of refugees from that war and the Federation is regarded with infamy especially among the dbees who suffered the worse in the later CS retribution campaigns against the region.

The City of Dweomer



An unofficial take on Dweomer... since my campaign may take a turn there in the future...

Population:
50k +5k transient

Groups of association:



..::Marble Tower::.. by =NightmareGK13 on deviantART

Palladium League

Officially Lead by the Three, they refuse to deal with non Palladium League members directly. Based in the Marble Tower.

Open to all human, elf dogboy or dwarf by associations, others by proof of action. There are few others allowed in and many whisper of the racism and elitism of this group. They don't care what the other groups think and have a very insular view of the outside world, the true isolationist block of Dweomer they dread to see more monsterous and dangerous outsiders come in and disturb their idea of the ideal polite society. Nearly all entrants to the academies setup by the Three to teach the skills of the magi are from the Palladium League.


humans 53% 24k, organized into "Labour Forces" and members of the military Academies
Elves 10% 5000 Teu-Tel'Quessir "Silver Elves"

Sky Island Robot Works by *farawayforest on deviantART
Sabre Lasar's Dweomer Garrison

Based in the old Sky Island Robot Works factory.
Established by mutual trade agreement, Lasar has ingratiated himself with leadership of Dweomer by giving them generous deals on liberated Coalition equipment and offering his men as a garrison in times of war in return for having a safe harbor to refuel and restock. Most of the technological services in Dweomer are provided by this garrison, as the Palladium League things the use of technology inferior to magic, and they own the nicest parts of town, you have to go to the dirty side of the tracks to get any tech items or services. Lasar's Garrison is a city block structure which offers Operater services and repairs of north american Robotics, weapons and Vehicles. Prices are steep however as there are few such places in the Magic zone (x2).

The actual members of the Garrison are recon squads that typically range far and wide letting Lasar know of opportunities or incursions into territories on the edge of the Zone. Often they just work on the inside border of Coalition Territory hitting CS zones posing as Federation militants. They are also the merchants who deal in goods aquired by Lasar squads travelling long distances to find buyers in and around the Magic zone who have no qualms using Coalition equipment. Lasar is trying to grow his influence outside of the Pecos Empire and this garrison is seen as a a stragegic move by him to maintain a foothold in the north. He ships a large tonnage of equipment in and out of this zone daily by rift for transport throughout the northern regions through a variety of unmarked and bogus Coalition Company marked vehicles.


humans 2000 mostly operators and technologists displaced by the magic users but unwilling to live in the ghettos the department of sanitation lives in.

Dweomer Department of Sanitation

Lead by Tor-Nul a 13th level Elite Pogtal Dragon Slayer

Made of up Squads, they are sent out in times of war or to do large scale fortifications or debris cleanup. Few can survive the onslaught of an angry squad of Department of Sanitation. The Department operates at a stoneage tribal level and does not use modern technology except during times of war. During times of war the Lasar's Garrison typically outfits the larger members of the Department of Sanitation with vehicular weapons systems taken from bots disabled in battle and modified into hand held weapons for the giants to use. Lives in very poor brutal conditions which most barely notice.

The city II by ~Sedeptra on deviantART

Upper Dweomer, home of The Blood

Ruled by King Char a 15th Level Fire Dragon. "The City Two" aka Upper Dweomer is only accessibly via flight.


A loose association of Dragons who patrol the region and claim it as part of their domain, periodically patrolling the boarders on flying recon patrols.
They maintain jurisdicton in all Draconic activities in Dweomer and all Dragons have immunity from human laws in the region.

Some humans secretly worship one of them in the name of Dragonwright, Fang a 10th Level Hydra with delusions of grandeur. The majority of the rest of the dragons view Dweomer as a rare safe haven for their kind, some of the adults have secret egg caches in the city. Typically though they engage in most of their operations elsewhere using Dweomer as a secondary port of call and trade outlet, having a second primary lair elseware to bring in trade. This influx of loot has made the blood very wealthy in Dweomer eyes and the few dragons there are have residences in the most opulent of places the Palladium Guilds towers have to offer.
200 adult dragons 800 hatchlings (100 are chars aka Char Juniors)

Note that open worship of dragons or any other supernatural creature or demon is illegal in Dweomer.

Down By The River #40

credits to http://www.xmission.com/~octa/TrailMarking_03.htm

The party is lined up at a river going across the path they were driving on towards Dweomer.


Unfortunately instead of the fabled magical city and salvation, they found the river.

Bluey runs off chasing a rabbit on his ATV.

There is a bolder near the road that looks recently flung, a huge dent is in the road and a ditch has been drug from a small impact crater to where the rock now lies. Near the boulder was a beautiful unconscious woman. John didn't seem to like the looks of her (high ppe, inhuman, posession, evil detected vial sense evil and aura) but never the less together he and Thull looked at her injuries. She was near death, and Drago cast healing touch bringing her to a stable coma but no further.

Later Max picked up some radio chatter about someone searching the area for "the package" in both american and goblin languages.

Thull looked her over as well and determined that he could make a mud poltice to save her.

All he needed was deep river mud, and two types of nearby plants, cattails and underwater algae.

Thull convinced Caldor to take off his WarTroll powerarmor and go for a swim. Max offered to help Caldor by plodding along in his watertight columbian powerarmor.

John saw them leaving and cast invincible armor on them using the strangely high ammounts of ambient PPE availible. Everyone has noticed a strange storm front on the north horizon and their hair stands on end, there are also strange effects on magic. Drago finds he can gather about 50ppe/minute currently (its the day of solstice in RL as we played this out :)
He used some of the extra juice on his comrads before passing needing more rest.

Together Caldor and Max went down under the water, found a lot of strange plants and a sunken ship. Caldor swam barely inside a hole in the ships bow and saw a roughly 1/2 human sized egg, he grabbed the egg and ran, Max following him. Neither wanted to press further into the ship despite seeing many unopened creates of cargo and other eggs lying deeper within.

While they were swimming around, John who was critically injured managed to convince hughbot to try healing his shattered leg, destroyed in an earlier encounter with a Vet Harvester. Hughbot would not comply until John climbed into the truck, then hughbots self preservation basecode kicked in and he began to repair anything damaged inside the truck. Hughbot mentioned something medical and started to inject John with something then building and attaching a splint on John's shattered leg. John felt less depressed after this. Previously John had a very strong addiction to psi-cola causing his depression which may be lessening...


Crab Warrior by ~dirtbomb on deviantART


Returning to shore Caldor the lizardman victorously punched a hole in the side of the egg and began to gorge himself sloppily on its contents. He failed to notice a crab person had arrived on the oposite shore of the river, and noticing Caldor devouring his fellow crabpersons egg, the crab person began to angrily make crab noises at Caldor. It didn't seem to attack, just acted like a bird trying to drive a predator away from its nest by making a fuss.

soon two more Crab people larger in size gathered with the first one, all of them angrily making crabby noises. Max grew tired of this, unsling his Tolkeen Heavy Assault TW Missle Staff, and launched one of its 3 missles at the crabs. All of them were blown to smitherines, as well cooked and delicious looking crab legs rained down on the beach, a large smoking crater was all that remained. The smoke obscured the oposite beach for awhile...

Max got some more radio signals about search parties for the package.

At this point the girl wakes up and starts speaking in Demongogian. Noone in the group speaks this until John casts Tongues and starts trying to understand her. All she is saying for now are grimaces of agony and moans of I must..survive uuughh.

This doesn't really help much and while they are trying to figure out what to do, suddenly two Psigoblins riding Dinosaurs come running up from the northern road. One carries a C27 and the other a wicked looking knife, seemingly unsure of what to do they stand on the other side of the river sizing up the group's convoy. They dismount and seem to be trying to decide what to do.



At this point three more crab people burst onto the opposite bank, and seeing the body parts of their brethren in the midst of the 2 new comer psi goblins, they immediately start to attack the psi-goblins. The dinosaur mounts watch passively as the plasma goblin starts by blowing through the chest of the first charging Crab person, forcing the others to maneuver around its body. The goblins put up armor of Ithan as the Crab Warriors attack. Knife Goblin gets hit by one of the two remaining crabs after doding the other, his armor of ithan goes down and he starts screaming in agony as the crab claw ripps into is midsection. Luckily plasma goblin manages to get off a lucky shot with his gun, taking the head off the attacking crab who drops knife goblins wounded body onto the beach. Knife goblin staggers off bleeding heavily while plasma goblin engages the remaining crab warrior in a melee, finally killing it as well with a plasma blast.

Finally, after this battle the Psigoblins return their attention on the party. unsure of what to do, they mount up and try swimming at the party. Knowing now that the psigoblins may indeed be a threat, Max again takes aim and launches his second of three TW staff missles at the rapidly moving goblins.

Thull puts a bullet in the eye (head called shot) of the dinosaur carrier knife goblin and he struggles to keep his dino swimming at full speed.

Before they get 2/3rds of the way across the 100ft wide river, he blows the wounded knife goblin to ground chuck and presumably wounds the plasma goblin enough where he is not seen afterwards, presumably drowned or fleeing underwater.
