• Silver Spear: Formed from a sliver of silver, handles as a spear for her. Inflicts 1 point of Mega-Damage to silver-vulnerable creatures (like vampires and can steak them down).

• The Nymph’s Token: A tiny, glowing orchid petal worn as a cape. It functions as a minor protective talisman, granting her a +2 to save versus all forms of magic and poison.

• The "Backpack": A hollowed-out, treated walnut shell worn on her back to hold shiny trinkets, small tech bits she finds interesting, or healing herbs for the party.

Knight Malphas

Knight Malphas the 5th Level Gallu Bull Demon

Vane sends Malphas to duel Towjam.  It is destroyed and sent back to hell in ep 141.

Here is Vane's struggle to regain control over it and drag it back from hell to pay for daring not perform his will correctly the first time.

"The Roll

• Vane's Willpower Roll: 14 (Base) + 3 (Shifter Summoning Mastery Modifier) = 17

• Demon Bull's Resistance Roll: 11 (Base) + 4 (Infernal Rage Modifier) = 15

The Outcome: Success (Barely)

The psychic tether of the Magic Pigeon sparks violently, turning from a soft blue to a blinding, electric white. The Demon Bull let out a subterranean roar that shatters every glass vial in Vane’s workshop, its massive brass hooves skidding across the threshold of the rift.

For a terrifying second, the balance tips toward the pit. But Vane digs deep, channeling that extra reserve of P.P.E. The cosmic law of the Shifter binds tight. With a sickening crack of planar displacement, the demon is yanked entirely through the portal, crashing hard onto the blood-stained chalk lines of the summoning circle.

The rift snaps shut behind it with an implosive pop, leaving the room in sudden, heavy silence—save for the heavy, sulfurous breathing of the beast.

The Demon Bull glares up at Vane, its eyes smoldering like dying coals. It is bound back to Vane's will... for now. But it is nursing a massive grudge, and it will be watching for the absolute slimmest slip in focus to test those chains again."

Alignment: Miscreant (bound to Vane's will, but inherently cruel)

This is a heavy, spiked mace forged from black meteoric iron. It pulses with a faint purple light when swung.

Damage: 4d6 M.D. + P.S. Bonus + If on ley line onhit Ley Line Time Flux for 25 minutes for 80ppe

Effect: The caster can choose to slow down time or speed it up. "Slow" Effect: A "Nausea" spell (Level 8) acts as a slow mechanism, reducing movement to half and imposing penalties (-6 to strike, parry, dodge) due to vomiting.

On a successful strike, the target must save vs. Magic (13+). If they fail, the local gravity around their body intensifies tenfold for 1d4 rounds. Reduce Spd and number of attacks per melee by half.

Mace can only trigger this effect three times per melee round.  Cannot be carried by anyone but Malphas and sinks into the ground if he is parted from it or banished from this dimension.

138 INTO VANELAND

3 rat elders, 3 rat robo vehicles, and 10 rat cargo containers on wheels towed by one of the robos come into the FADE TOWN of VANELAND.

Deep within the overgrown ruins of the Indiana "Hoosier" National Forest, the air occasionally thrums with a low-frequency hum that vibrates the teeth. When the ley lines surge, the mist parts to reveal Vaneland, a "fadetown" that exists only when the dimensional fabric is thin enough to tear.

The Location: Vaneland

A coalition Trooper crucified at the edge of a clearing marks the way...

Vaneland looks like a high-tech truck stop grafted onto a medieval courtyard. It sits squarely atop a minor ley line, which provides the arcane energy required for it to phase into Rifts Earth.

• The Watering Hole: At the center is a massive, glowing trough of "Charged Water"—ley line energy condensed into liquid form. It is irresistible to the mounts of the Simvan, acting as a powerful restorative for mega-fauna.

• The Atmosphere: The town consists of semi-translucent buildings that shimmer like a mirage. When the town "fades out," anyone not keyed to Vane’s dimensional signature is deposited unceremoniously into the empty Indiana woods.

• Vaneland General Store Radio Tower:  250mile range, 250cr/minute to use

• Vaneland General Store Matrix Link: 25000 cr / day to use

Basic Statistics

• Population: 18 (Result of rolling $6d6$).

• 9 Vaneminions Guards: Unknown jumpsuit-clad demons guarding the fadetown.

• 6 Simvan Customers: Members of the Pervic tribe utilizing the watering hole.

• 3 D-Bees: (Calculated from remaining $1/6$ populatin

Settlement Amenities

Feature	Description
The Watering Hole	A ley line-fed trough used by Simvan riders to heal and recharge their beetles and dinosaurs.
General Store	A rustic, semi-translucent "shimmering" building providing technical and magical gear.
Ley Line Tap	Provides 240-480 PPE depending on Ley Line surge levels, fueling the town's stability.

Social Dynamics

• External Relations: Acts as a territorial buffer and anchor for the Federation of Magic.

• Internal Security: Vaneminions enforce Vane's will with "Phase-Strikes" that bypass physical armor.

• Stability: Low/Transient; the town is only stable enough to serve as an HQ because of Vane's level Shifter abilities.

Vane

Vane is a calculating dimensional architect who views the Simvan as a necessary "outer guard" for his sanctuary. He is gaunt, wears a high-collar armored duster, and never speaks above a whisper.

The group finds VANELAND, a trading post controlled by vane, the shifter leader of town, he negotiates with caldor who is also a named federation of magic knight. Vane demands a toll...

The Three Vane-Knights

Holding these nexuses are Vane’s "Generals"—Greater Demons from the same silent, jumpsuit-clad dimension as the Vaneminions. Unlike the minions, the Knights are articulate, cruel, and possess distinct personalities. They wear heavy, obsidian-colored M.D.C. Plate Armor over their jumpsuits, with the "V" on their foreheads glowing with the intensity of a dying star.

The Princess's Rain

 

"Princess's Rain"

The "Rain of Death" is a terrifying sight even in its stock configuration—a massive, atmospheric-entry troop transport designed to drop Kreeghor Shock Troopers directly into the heat of battle. However, this specific unit, owned by a high-ranking Royal Kreeghor, has been modified into a mobile command center and personal trophy room.

Since it crashed on Earth, its sleek Transgalactic Empire (TGE) aesthetic is marred by scorched hull plating.  The ship  has become half buried about 10 miles west of Fort Iron Whiskers.  The rats know of it but known their techno shaman has communed with it and she could not access it due to locks from the alien princess requiring her DNA to open it.

Description: The "Falling Palace"

The interior no longer looks like a sterile military transport. The Royal Kreeghor has replaced the cramped jump seats with lavish, albeit alien, comforts.

• The Atmosphere: The air is heavy with the smell of ozone and exotic incense. The lighting is a dim, menacing crimson.running

• Modifications: The cargo bay has been partitioned into a "Throne Room" and a "Trophy Gallery" where various skulls (including a Juicer and a Glitter Boy helmet) are mounted on the bulkheads.

• The Damage: Gravity plates flicker inconsistently, occasionally making occupants feel 20% lighter.
