Most in game players sit inside the gunman's tavern.
Eventually they get a distress call from Tin Duhk from the parking lot.
Tin Duhk the Golden Age weaponsmiths dealer has been working with the group, he is a full conversion borg who lost his most of his body in battle and has been wired up to Truck #2.

Tow Jam (whos player was not in game) was the driver of truck #1, by the time the group comes out to the distress call, truck #1 has driven off and is mostly out of site, and truck #2 is being guarded by some Biker gangers.

Drago tries to scout the location of truck #1 by flying but it gets away.
Truck #2 has some bikers around it who pelt Caldor with Ramjets, eventually the bikers are neutralized and the single remaining truck of loot is traded in for half of the bounty (125Million black market).

Players learn from streetwise they are a victim of a "Boost" perpetuated by the "Booster Boys".  The most talented computer hacking gang in Merctown when it comes to tech heists, the booster boys are a feared thorn in the side of all organizations in Merctown.  When they can afford various organizated are rumored to hire out the Booster Boys against other organizations.  Tin Duhk says Towjam was knocked unconscious by an unknown hack and taken as loot along with Truck#1.

Sparticus gets a message from GAW his jet is ready at the airport.

Drago tries to send and listens for magic pidgeons to no avail.  Drago finds teleportation in Merctown is jammed.

Bluey takes Tin Duhk to the best cyberhospital in the Warrens and cashes in some of his reward to get a red type Triax body for Tin Duhk.

Upon activation Tin Duhk swears revenge for the kidnapping of Tow Jam and the disappearance of Merl.

A new player has returned, Hiro.  He is working to steal truck #2 and tries to sneak away.  Caldor sees through his magic and pins him to a building near a nightclub by the truck jacking, realizing who he is caldor reluctantly lets Hiro go because Hiro might know how to get to Tow Jam.

#80 Merctown Warrens Run

The group gears up to travel from the Docks region through one of the 5 gates to the Warrens region.

Drago and Bluey pay to camp at Dragon's Head Brewery
Tojam Camps at GAW Hq

 Bluey and Towjam find out GAW needs the goods transported to their man in the Warrens. Bluey has 250mil worth of reward for saving the 5 elders from the soul suckers. Merl says he has to smuggle it into Merctown Warrens from the GAW dealership, the now blind from radiation captain of the boat per earlier agreement gets 7%. The NPC GAW agents say once the goods are transmitted go to Gunman's tavern for the reward.


The group buys 2 trucks and 1 medium sized vehicle to move to complete the transport.

Drago hears rumors of a magic area from the Dragons head brewry owner in Merctown and wants to get there.

The group learns about Ravenshome theives guild active in the area with x3 streetwise rolls.

Drago confirms Dragons head Brewery owner is actually a dragon.

Bluey rents two rooms one for the injured blinded radioactive boat captain.

Bluey has a Runabout ATV and x2 roadmaster vehicles.

The group sees a hoverbike gang swarming around the docks.

Merl and TinDuhk argue about what body to get Tinduhk.  Since there are no cyberdocs tindukh trusts in the warrens he instists on getting brought further into merctown before he will buy a body.
Tindukh ends up jury rigged to control one of the trucks since he is a full conversion borg who only has his head main torso and life support remaining after an earlier battle.

Sparticus and Caldor pay 25k each to rest in the nicest rooms around.

Sparticus mutters about some deal he made with a CS Dogboy that never paid out.




So Tinduhk drives truck #1.
Tow Jam drives truck #2
Bluey drives his ATV
Caldor Bought a Tumbler ATV for 245k

The group prepares to leave the docks for the warrens, to do so Tow Jam tries to do some cyberrecon on the 5 doc entries to find out who guards them.

Node 1 - Booster Boy Northern Gun OS
Node 2 Unknown Kingsdale OS
Node3 Greenskins Green OS
Node4 unknown/Mephistos horsemen - this broke/bricked  toe jams pc when he tried to access it, so he borrowed dragos ng pc
and found
Node5 recently found unknown owner


A human tells bluey that there is a war between the Greenskins gang and beef with the Red Terror.


Drago meets a PSI goblin Brath and they go into the greenskins gate.

Caldor pays 40gp (40000cr) and takes a bounty from the Greenskin leader Brath to kill Ack Bar Al Shafar within 1 week

Drago cloaks himself as a normal human and pays 300000 cr in gold -300gp

Drago has 0 gold left, dagger, w/ 2 carat agat in pomen,
Blue Pays black market credits

Caldor  buys relative periodicals for gang/merc stuff from newspaper for 50 cr gets 50 papers

He buys them from the threeblind mice newstand which is quickly destroyed by marauding gangers on hover bikes lead by a juicer.    Someone yells its the Megamonkeys run!  And the locals run as a small battle happens, the juicer escapes and a few of his friends are left behind dead under crashed bikes.

There is a damaged ng speedster hoverbike left behind by the gangers the rat takes.

The injured rat is taken to Mans Tavern and talks to Bart asking for cordera.

at 12 noon till night fall the group gets pizza from the diner at #160 bluey gets large pizza red leathered men are also hanging out at the pizza place.








Since he took the bounty Caldor gets a text message on his computer that seems to be a txt description of a video showing a borg pacing with a the picture of Ackbar-al-Shafar Pitmaster of The Pit bar open on a visible communicator device built into the borgs arm:

http://www.explorersunlimited.com/eu-3.0.14/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=459&sid=fadcbbeb035e3e0b4d55c1fcc8924fd0


The text message is as follows:
"This is a description of a video containing the marks location.
Entering his room he tosses his cloak over the bed and impatiently begins to pace, as with great effort he refrains from calling the Pit to speak with this Ackbar-al-Shafar.... Hope Ghoste & Alabaster are doing alright.... bah thats what the Radio is for, if they need me they'll call   


After several minutes Thorn decides the best to calm his raging emotions is meditation. He takes up a seated position on the floor and enters a trance..... waiting.
The mark you seek is at the Pit bar"



After eating pizza the group waits at the Gun mans Tavern to hear about the reward for the goods they drove in from the docks.
This message seems to indicate the target works at The Pit bar.


#80 ends hanging @ the gunman bar with pizza from next door eating it while waiting for the big npc to show up and confirm the shipment and pay Bluey

#79 Merctown Access Control and Dockside

Merctown Population 39000, 60% human +15000 transients
Ruled by Proconsole and Advisory Council. No income tax, 6% sales tax.
Uses roman styled laws, only controls the area around the Powerplant.

Merctown was built around an old pre-rifts powerplant which survived mostly intact.

Visitors are subject to whats called the Merctown Access Control System

L0 - Dockside
All Visitors are granted access to the free-zones which includes The Dockside and the Warrens.  Access to other zones is granted through various means.  Upon entry to Merctown a drone will scan the newcomer and issue the merctown propaganda speech, laws, and explain how to get into Level 1 you must enter one of the Warrens Barracks and be subject to further questioning and scans.


L1 - Warrens - These High Tech slums lie around the Docks.
Entry from the docks to the warrens is through one of 5 alleys, each protected by a different Merctown gang who claims that entry.  Each entry 1-5 will have the Gang memebers posing as merctown security checking out new people.  The Warrens Entry guards insure No heavy weapons, armor, or Robot vehicles are allowed in L1 or higher.  Once you are checked out and have your identity put into the Merctown Computer System (MCS) the guards give you a L1 Pass.  Requires Small Fee+scan.

L1Entry1 - Run by the Booster Boys
L1Entry2 - Run by the Cyber Street Gang
L1Entry3 - Run by the Greenskin Gang
L1Entry4 - Run by Mephisto's Horsemen

L3+ for VIP Mercs only and are revealed only to those who pass L2 clearance and gain "professional" Mercenary status.  How to get this clearance and the existence is a mystery to all uninitiated non mercenaries but an open secret to most professional mercenaries.  Gaining pro status usually includes something like:
1 Formally joining  an accredited mercenary group (I include most of the groups in the canon mercs books in this list)
2 Some tests
3 Completing a difficult job for the city
4 Probationary Acceptance with more jobs
5 Full acceptance once final job is passed

L3 - Spokes (below ground, existence  secret) Requires Moderate Fee
L4 - The Hub (below ground, existence secret) Requires High Fee
L5 - The Mystic Quarter (Wizard's tower above ground, secret quarters below ground) Requires Very High Fee
L6 - Old Town (This simple village is above ground) Requires purchasing property
L7 - Paducah Estates (This grandiose ranch is above ground)

http://areliustest.wikidot.com/system:rifts-maps Has some great Merctown and Region maps:

In the my modified from canon 3rd age version of the following map, the purple area covers all blue, orange, and light green areas.  The L3+ areas are secret.  These areas are not above ground but are parts of a prerifts fallout shelter named vault 13 converted to house the restricted areas of merctown.

Region Map

Before arriving in merctown... The group travels up the river and sees a number of crab people  (Crab Warrior RCC) camped out on top of a sunken CS vessel which is also covered in EGGS.  Caldor takes aim and fires the rest of the crabs flee to underwater lairpods as only the leader defiantly beats his claws.  finally caldor slays the largest crab seein no more above water they approach.

When alongside they see more crabs hiding in strange pod like lairs anchored to the sides of the sunken cs vessel "CSS Revenge Class".  A female "HcknarglAK" comes out saying you have slain her abusive mate and she is now ruler of this area, how can they help the players.   She says the slavers ahead have taken many of her peoples eggs and that she would see vengeance upon them.  The group thinks upon how they were earlier attacked by pirates, and now more may lie in wait ahead of them.  Drago scouts with teleport and sees a huge dreamship from the pirate clan, waiting 25miles or so up the river.

'The group informs the crabs of this and after some argument the crabs decide to help, they swim down and give up a few cs heavy military long range missiles scavenged from the ship.  Drago takes them in close and drops them on the pirate vessel from teleport sneak attack and managed to destroy the pirate ship...  The group sails past its wreckage, a huge mushroom cloud later nothing hostile is seen and continue towards merctown.

A few miles out of merctown patrol boat comes up wanting to know what the explosion was, they saw the mushroom cloud.  The group talks them down and gains access to merctown.  Caldor manages to sell his legal cargo of coal right away, the rest of the groups cargo will take more skill rolls to sell in the next episode.

Caldor ate part of the crab leader.

#78 Winds of Set

The group camps out in Guntersville.
Bluey buys the most expensive lifestyle and lives lavishly for ~1month.
The rest did not buy lifestyles... Caldor lives with them on the street
Finally after much deliberation the Merl and Tin Dyhk agree to charter some boats with the group.
Bluey and the rest of the group make some investments in loot to travel up river with and try to sell to merctown for profit.  Tin Dyhk promises in merctown is a mage that can teleport them home to tolkeen.

A squad of 3 jetski pirats, and the warfish attack the front boat with Tow Jam and Merl and Tinduhk.  7 more pirates attack the rear boat with Bluey.
Tow jam manages to blow away the jetski troopers with one of his medium range tow missiles.
The warfish hides under the boat as the dragon flies overhead looking for targets.
Herman flies around in his helicopter doing some damage before he cant shoot at the warfish because it is behind tow jam's boat.
Meanwhile bluey fights off some pirates who came to the rear barge without any vehicles swimming, they make off with 5 barrels of fuel after loosing a few of their number to bluey.  Seeing his men have stolen some loot and finally finding the group with the stolen eyes, Kilran calls his surviving men to retreat and tell their captain they have located the stolen property of the Horune client Deslyth the Younger.  As the pirates swim away the group continues to float towards merc town...
Sparticus puts out many fires and saves 2 boats from sinking.

#77 Storm of Set

The group negotiates with the elders of GAW .. Bo, Merl, Riki, and Tin Duhk stay with Blueys 3rd Armored Company, they want to pick up arms shipment on way back through merctown towards huntsville

2a Bo wants Bluey to complete the deal with The Buyer about fixing his jet, bo was already paid (?) in trade goods  by sparticus byt he also wants promise of safe passage guarding by the heros for his GAW troops back to guntersville via boat.  In exchange GAW will get the jet onto one of the GAW barges for transport back to guntersville where they can fix it.

Bo comes to Bluey and offers to upload "shiros map of north america (see above pics)"
and link with the combat computers of the GAW forces.

2b Merl wants to settle some Debts in Merctown and pick up some tradegoods to smuggle south to huntsville and take back some fineries to his beloved betty lou.

2c Riki acts like Bo's bodyguard.

2d Tin Duhk wants to go with Merl to Merctown to buy a new body

The group thinks things are wrapped up, but demons attack.  First howls and wolves, then a jinn summoned by a succubus with a lamp.  The jinn lays waste to the armies of GAW while the characters try to dodge the blasts of air.

All GAW forces are called by the group to flee to the west away from the jinn, which they do while suffering horrible casualties as the tornado rips through the lightly armored gaw ranks.  Drago manages to slow down the jinn by casting ice wall on top of him while the rest of the GAW forces flee.  The succubus seeing true danger flees using prowl and invisibility when the dragon grows near.

Caldor's tanks suffer 50 casualties, 2 tanks survive
Hermans recon squad looses 40% but gains 10% scavenger survivors who want to come back to guntersville
Blueys 3rd armored takes 75% casualties
Dragos 9th infantry patrol takes 63% casualties

The wounded soldiers and damaged equipment finally makes it back to the river where they are evaculated to guntersville...

Bo pays bluey for safly delivering the 4 elders back to guntersvill (+4mil?)

Herman realizes nox was killed by werewolves and became a werewolf.  Herman ties him up, hands him over to gaw.

Drago flies around scouting and tries to trade a star ruby worth 1000gp in a deal with herman, but herman angrily rejects the dragons offer.

Bo aranges a boat captained by Bahab, 3 barges with a tugboat leader.
Bahab works for bo and has been contracted to take Bluey and goods up to merctown.  Bahab says hes in as the pilot for 7% of blueys take.

Any other deals are pure profit, so some buy coal (caldor), others make some deals.

total trade investments:
bluey 3mil investment with bo's gaw goods to be sold in merctown

caldor 1.5mil coal deal with niomi the coal merchant

herman makes an undisclosed deal with billy gunter the transport 100lbs of something to merc town

herman has a date with niomi the pb8 coal merchant who calls him hermy

Drago buys a dragon sized Multi optic eye headset from Tin Duhks contacts.
-5x book price for mo headband



Guntersville is trying to sell an icbm for 10million including launcher

Rogue continues to resist the control undead magic drago has placed upon her.  she steals a 400credit black market credstick from someone (her first money).
Rogue drinks moonshine to herman which has no effect on either of them.
Vrick narunl of Guntersville drinks some moonshine as well to some effect.
Herman makes lists of things hes seen to give to cyberknights if he sees any.
Herman tries to sell his eyes of eylor unsuccessfully, arguing with the dragon over price.
Rogue gets clothes and a pack from guntersville merchants.

at the end of session 77 one day has passed, and the group settles into a long awaited rnr session in the somewhat civilized region of guntersville.  average tech level is 1950s.  the characters will be in guntersville a few weeks sorting out supplies and travel deals, so everyone has to buy a lifestyle or go hunting for food and sleep in the steet.

guntersville lifestyles:
street 0+cost of food
squatter .8*5000=4000cr  - live in underwater ruins with other squatters
low .8*20000=16000cr - boarding house room
middle .8*80000=64000cr - rent a makeshift cabin with garage
high .8*=192000cr - floors 1-5 of guntersville fortress, the prerifts skyscraper home of the gunters
luxary .8*1000000=800000cr - floors 5-8 of guntersville fortress

Anyone who fills out the character sheet spreadsheet for stats gets 100xp bonus, this should help speed up the game i hope... (having the stats all in one place).

Shiro made some great rifts hex maps! :)

North America:

http://shirosrpg.blogspot.com/2008/12/workin-on-rifts.html

Europe:

http://shirosrpg.blogspot.com/2009/05/rifts2112-europe.html

They make it easy to estimate distances between major places, and graphs a few intact post Rifts roads.

The 3rd age of Dragonwright game is currently taking place in the southern regions of this map:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/sirlarkins/scan002.jpg

I like how Shiro shows there being much more water around the area where the Mississippi drains into the gulf of mexico.  I am not sure about how close Tolkeen is to chi town on this hex map.  I would place Tolkeen due east of Serenity on the river on the hex map 0206  based on this map: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/rifts/images/8/82/Riftsmap.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100328152013

Now if I overlay this map with my older map I was using this to find the locatiion of Golden Age Weaponsmiths :
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOHT1VmxxVDteRHAPv-ve3SYGt7NmVsm-ygvFL3yn5NUmnCrzLSsH0WU8M2HqJfIn1wfzMlgxffhoapS2wWWwAihCBaMrGgGY5T9dRePOtDdMRTumJWN9oKk0sMiOP8T9ye7EHFW_xXTqM/s1600/rifts_east.jpg



As of update #75, in the first Shiro's Hex Map, The old GAW city in the Huntsville ruins are in the North West of Hex 0311 (partially obscured by the river).
The land directly to the south of Huntsville is the Tennessee river and then swampy everglades type areas eventually giving into full on ocean.
Guntersville is at the South East side of Hex 0311,  along the Tennessee River is the rebuilt and well concealed homes in Guntersville ruins, the only known surviving GAW settlement.

Characters recently traveled north from the Oil Refinery Army of Thunder base in Huntsville to Cincinnati to battle Nxla, now they are west of Cincinnati near the crashed jet and square 0609.

After rescuing the 5 elders of huntsville who were taken to Cincinnati to be part of the sacrifice to NXLA, the characters get GAW support.

When called to help defeat NXLA the GAW soldiers that accompany the party traveled this far north via boat from Huntsville, https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjo51wxnd2Ilt9GnarN5WCgh5wipishqH9w09fg0NTVlMflI4J-BvYxhvMU3AQgSbt2L3_v6RAVo0BzcvKLlWkJaXiHm7iule1Af7UoS88Es8-EVUZSLOfTkWcKBOK5Km2kjpD-fCclscE/s1600/northamericanwater.jpg


(Looking at the maps, whew there actually is a water way that goes this far north, that makes plot continuity on how GAW managed to move multiple tanks and heavy equipment across hostile wilderness alot easier :)


Loose ends to tie up in between sessions:


Herman:

2) Dirk Diggler wants standing orders for the 3rd recon squad of dune buggy troops.

3) Herman's  Driver Kail AKA NUX the ferocious wants orders

Herman sends many of Dirk's men out on patrol, some are attacked by strange wolves and the GAW men are slain.   Later the party goes to find the missing men and herman has to fight off the wolves, NUX has his throat ripped out and his body is left behind with a dune buggy the wolves diabled.  Herman's dune buggy has its tire bitten off by the wolves, but herman is able to fix it.   Herman shot at the wolves and later used his magic swords on them, seriously injuring one.  The wolves seem to escape when they realize herman is no easy prey.

Bluey:
1)  Major Ban Gunter wants standing orders for his Guntersville 3rd Armored Company,  Bluey tells them to hold position with the rest of the squads.  The order is Infantry, then armored company, then tanks as they drive down the road.
Tin Duhk's head stays wired to blueys bike's nuke power plant which is all thats keeping the head powered and alive.


Caldor:
Rides on one of his tanks until the men go missing in the Dune buggy.  Lets 
Bo, Merl, Riki stay in one of the tanks.


Drago:
1) LT Chromium asks for standing orders for his the Huntsville 9th Infantry Platoon (ordered to stay back at the front of the convoy while drago goes ahead alone)
2) Denali is at Drago's side
3) Magic pidgeon
4) Rogue the Dead Girl tries to break free of Drago's undead enslaving control magic.



Sparticus:
1) Lida, Seth, Lt Fifo Partino, Jizzel lane stay nearby.


Drago sensed the rift opening to the south.



After the men go missing Drago went forward.

Caldor sees and starts sniping some flying kitani vehicles.  Caldor blasts the head sensor of one to bits with a sniper shot.
They land, and out pours some slave soldiers, giants, troll, ogres.
 They throw up their hands and say they want no part in this battle and that they are slaves just wanting freedom.

From behind bellows a balrog "FIGHT YOU WEAKLINGS, OR DIE!"...




Drago manages to petrify the Balrog, realizing that NXLA is now trapped in the elemental plane of Earth drago fights off NXLA's presence as he reaches out to the earth plane to gather magic ane petrify the demon (saves vs mental posession, or does he?)

Nearby a sucubus with a brass lamp gestures and a  huge tornadow whips up, and starts smashing into the ranks of GAW.

Caldor hides in a Tank and rides out the storm.
Herman and Bluey escape outside the area of the tornadow on their fast vehicles.

Sparticus pulled his men back before the storm hit and is north of the area.

Drago was hit by the winds but his protection wards hold.

Eventually the winds die down and there is no sign of the demons...  Only the statue of the Balrog remains.

Many of the GAW troops are dead or destroyed by the Tornado and the screams of the wounded echo across the field of battle.   #77 will start with surveying the wounded and remaining troops and equipment, it doesn't look good.

#75 Join Up

East of the Cincinatti airport the characters regroup and consolidate the GAW forces.


Drago's FOM Contract States he will be a lord as long of FOM as he controls these Nexus:
Athens currently run by Psi Goblin
New Port currently run by Princess Shack
Cincinatti currently run by noone

The original contract mentioned 4, the one you saw from denali only shows 3 now.

Unclaimed and unmentioned in ep #75 contract: Gallipolis, OH
https://goo.gl/maps/Ge1K8kDWxoK2
(what happened to Gallipolis and why Dunscon no longer wishes to see it conquered is unkown)

http://3rdageofdragonwright.blogspot.com/2012/02/47-she-laid-egg.html

Blueys makes friends with Bo after saving him from the wrecked plane in his hover vehicle.
Bo says he will "make" bluey a Black Marketeer and GAWs  "Rift Runner".
Bo designates Merl and Tin Duhk to will be bluey's mr johnsons contacts to get jobs as a blackmarket "runner" delivering "packages".



Bo tells Bluey the GAW Bandito Arms Ranks which are considered a secret to non members (other players dont know this only bluey):

Captian Bo in charge of GAW territories
LT Black Market Merchant Full Conversion Borg TIN DUHk
Black Market Gunslinger Riki
Black Market Smuggler Merl
Friend of Ours Sparticus



Bo also requests that Bluey assign a leader to each of his squads so that the gaw men can survive the coming demon army.

Herman leads 3rd recon, Caldor the 1st tank squad with 4 tanks left, Bluey leads the mechanized 3rd armored Company co led by Major Ban Gunter.  Drago leads the 9th infantry.


Drago detects a rift opening to the north before there is an attack on the group by snipers which miss.

From the edge of a forest near by a strange dead girl watches, then there is a missle strike.  Is she spotting?  Bluey manages to shoot down the missile (barely, did 20md on a lr missle).  The missle was locked on the power supply of bluey's cs hover bike.

The dead girl is controled by 2 tautons, Zorg Servant of Torg the tauton leader.

Jizzel charm impresses sparticus (ooc she is pregnant due to the earlier "encounter")  Sparticus gives her his mystic power armor.

Sparticus has traded away one eye of eyelor to GAW in exchange for his base and gaw support (?) and has another stashed in the secret part of his huntsville base.

Herman has 2 eyes.

Caldor fed his old parasite one eye.

Drago gets many magic pidgeons back, tells Creed he will spy for Tolkeen on the FOM.

Kuda the grey tells Drago via pidgeon he will support Drago's cause he he gains the support of the king and the circle of 12.  Kuda says if this happens he will show them about psyscape.

Herman gets in one of the dunebuggies in his recon squad with a driver Kail AKA NUX the ferocious (yay fury road refrerence)


Drago manages to exorcise the demon controlling the dead girl, and uses control undead magic to keep her from eating the other mortal's brains.  The rest of the demons flee after the missile attack fails.  Caldor tried to shoot the dead girl but it seems shes immune to all but holy objects and magic.


Sparticus uses his powers and calculated that the missle was coming from low earth orbit...

Leaving the army Bo + the leaders  + bluey leave back to ?Huntsvile.
Sparticus wants to stop bluey so he (or was it jizzel)  call lightnings the trailer hitch stalling the retreat.

Drago gets a pidgeon saying Denali will be arriving from dunscon, she arrives on her demon mount through a rift and with drago  nego a contract, same rules as in the charter except its 1/13th of the lands profit not dragos personal income tax like the charter says (no income tax in fom just land profit tax)

Drago promises a nexus to sparticus and writes into the contract that the FOM will leave GAW holdings alone.

Drago also negos getting a "chest of scrolls" once a year in return for his tax payments.

Signs the contract to dunscon with these knights:
Caldor tax knight, estate knights Herman, Bluey, and Princess Shack.


Valen msgs drago back saying plant the tree at a nexus asap or it will die.

The splugorth cant be contacted by drago because he doesnt know it personally.

Dean Vask says in return for relinquishing claims on the childern in the School of Magic he will act as sparticus's lawyer.

Drago's Magic Pidgeons #74.5

Drago spends Four Days & Nights of sending Magic Pigeons:

1.) To Lord Dunscan -"The 3rd and final nexus has been dominated. Nyxla has fallen."

2.) To Valen of the Bagh-Dach Clan of True Atlanteans- "I have petrified Nyxla but its remain seem indestructible. I also have the Millennium Tree with me in Cincinnati. Any thoughts on how to destroy or banish the indestructible? How are you, the Tree Village, its inhabitant, and our tribal neighbors?"

3.) To Spying Splugorth - "In exchange for clearing my debt and perhaps some insights into the secrets of your magic I offer you the petrified remains of Nyxla bridging Newport and downtown Cincinnati over the Ohio river." 

*Drago would love to learn how to be a TW. He spent all night thinking of making a specific item for each of his fellow adventurers. Schematics are in his head (I can email about these later). I was thinking if Drago makes this deal he could maybe spend time in a Time Warp learning, tinkering, and creating these items for the party.

4.) To King Creeed - "I have petrified Nyxla. To win favor with The Federation of Magic I have also dominated three nexus points in the Midwest and Dunscan has invited me to be a Lord in the Federation - an offer I have yet to accept. I have evidence to clear Sparticus and The Army of Thunder of any wrong doing. I wish to speak with you about the state and direction of Tolkein, the C.S. War, and other matters."

*Drago first met King Creed when the Ancient Demon Death of the Four Hoursemen held Drago's ankle as Drago transitioned into a portal before the Circle of 12. Drago also sent King Creed an Apocolyspe 2-B form warning of the Black Plague.

5.) To Kueda the Grey - "I have petrified Nyxla who now lies over the Ohio River between Newport and Nexus, but its remains seem indestructible. I also have a Superior Ring of Revelation, thirst for truck loads of psy-cola, and interest in what this ring can help you see."

*Drago first met Kueda on Feb 28, 2010 with Katrina Sun and again when Drago encountered Death.

6.) To Dean Vask - "I have petrified Nyxla, but its remains seem indestructible. Dunscan wants me to join his Federation as a Lord. How are you Tolkein, the war, the school, and the politics?"

ooc:
 Other Players Wants, Needs, or Interests:

Caldor, is the only adult male Kreeghor in the multiverse. He should get royal kreeghor stat opportunities. Maybe he can start as a level 1 mage or something. This would bring new motivations to his character and make sense in game.

Spartacus, has historically been really invested in his Army of Thunder and almost devastated when it was forgotten, usurped, or otherwise dismissed with little no no RP. Aside from a flourishing and formidable army of adolesants that respect him without question, the only thing Spartacus may want more is perhaps to reach the heralded land of psyscape at some point. 

Herman, wants loot. I have a juicy TW weapon in mind for him. He could use a magic bag the holds a large Costco warehouse inside, but for now he does have two Rune Weapons with personalities he will have to come to know and interact with for better or worse.

Bluey, wants power and maybe some respect. Learing from the Tome's he picked up from the Nyxla loot could help him. I believe he also has one of the Rune Items from the Nyxla loot. The item Drago has in mind for him would make Bluey happy too. 

Lady Naya Cyber Knight - she just wants to be a good girl and the player wants some fun gaming experiences. Drago has a very interesting item in mind for her, actually two items.

Drago wants:

1. ...to secure the Millenium Tree, his lairs and friendly towns, and become a powerful TW.
2. ...to get to know the elemental inside the Crystal Firerod and the entity within the rune whip on his hip.

3. ...to fill each gem in his pouch that he can, with ppe every night while the party rests.

4. ...to hear back from some of the pigeons to perhaps get rid of Nyxla and strike a deal with others in power.

5. ...to learn stone to flesh, eyes of Thoth, and many other spells and magic skills like learning from scrolls better, casting silently, or double casting.

#74 Jet Scavenging Skirmish

plane crashed at hs4

The jet touched down down in the western outskirts of the Cicinnati municipal lunken airport ruins.  There is a large rut of ground where it landed hard and crashed through the exterior fence, the jet lies in a smoulderin heap in the grass west of the runways.

PCs get a radio call from lida, seems her party was attacked while scavenging the crashed jet.  They were attacked when they neared hs4 and had to flee the area.  Jizzel was found with the orcs and ogre few hundred meters to the west of hs4 in some light brush outside the airport perimeter.

Lida and Seth Brown, Lt. Fifo Partino escaped. Lida's armor is 1/2 destroyed. Jizzel's armor is destroyed.

Jizzel was caught by 2 orcs and an ogre who were doing vile things to her when Drago and Sparticus saved her.  The ogres head was bitten off by drago, one orc was coma'd and the other killed as well by sparticus's electricity psionics.

Intel gleaned shows a large force of troops building up near by.  The interrogated orc mentioned they are looking for artifacts of Osiris...

3 destroyed Guntersville GAW Smuggler tanks are seen near the plane crash site.

During the events strange curses similar to Old testament start to happen...
 Curse of Blood
Curse of Frogs "gronks"
Curse of Lice

Some of the phoenix raiders are seen flying strange alien pods...

#73 Nxla Aftermath part 2

Novus Atlantis by SebastianWagner on DeviantArt

In shadow of Nxla's petrified self, sitting in the nuked wreckage of Cincinatti's pyramid complex, the party ties up loose ends.

1 caldor osiris plot - prophetic dreams of the coming of set and the 3 other horsemen, to save the world you pray words you don't understand (ancient egyption).  In the morning you have the urge to utter the words again...



Nxla thought caldor was an agent of a rival alien intelligence due to his hosting a splugorth juicer symbiot which was also secretly spying for splyncryth, or so nxla suspected.  This is why caldor was targeted so viciously for extermination by the alien intelligence nxla.  Luckily the recently found breastplate of osiris bonds to the gap the dead symbiot left perfectly as if by magic...

Caldor sees a snake crawling towards a dunebuggy crashed into a hole, and a symbol of set drawn in the ground near camp, bad omen..noone else seems to notice them.
Caldor rushes up and pulls the dune buggy out and sees some rubble and a door down at the bottom of the pit, in the rubble he sees some snake sized holes and swears there might be snakes down there, again noone notices him yelling about snakes in a hole.


2 drago fom plot gets pidgeon invite from dunscons herald denali,
will gain rank of baron in fom nobility (title lord drago, 3 nexus)
must declare one knight to collect taxes from the realms
must declare 1 Estate Knight of the realm per nexus to hold terrain, checked on yearly by fom operatives to insure the nexus maintains held by the fom.  They are granted estates for their service.

knights can declare "gentlemen of the federation of magic", their followers leaders get this protected class, those protected by the knight of the realm (nexus) the knight serves to protect

gentlemen intern hire followers known as "yeomen of the federation of magic"
those without such titles or place within the hierarchy are viewed with suspicion in the federation of magic.

drago feels strange after petrifying nxla as if teleporting is some how being interfered with slightly...

rolls up short 1 dunebuggy., recon-7 driven by Dirk Diggler, 3rd lvl smuggler gaw
offers to evac 1 wounded back to their main army a mile north of cincinatti.
Says they were out hunting slavers who came into huntsville earlier and now they wish to return to huntsville if its safe.

tells of how another one of his squads dunebuggys lies unused over 100meters to the east after they scouted the area but got killed by..something... going near the buggy shows footprints towards a subway tunnel...

you can also see dwarf footprints and blood here! Drago senses a dwarf is near death...

Players start to go into the subway, herman drago and dragos scouting magic orb.  From behind suddenly 4 tautons Caldor SWORE he saw earlier materialize and aattack from behind.  Sparticus puts up a force feild and stops most of the enemies attacks as well as hermans counter attack.  Drago puts an ice wall on top of the tautons who escape in the holes they slitherd out of under the ice wall.

Walking in herman and Drago see some ghouls finishing eating the pilots of the missing recon squad dirk was trying to find.  The Ghoul Leader Lishraak takes a bribe from Drago and doesnt attack, he says that some badly injured dwarf fled deeper into the tunnels not to long ago...

Deciding not to enter the tunnels instead the group calls for help waiting for the GAW Army to arrive.
In time the army does arrive, Drago persuades the tankers to bombaard Nxla and only succeeds in knocking him over, creating a bridge across the river into cincinatti.

Caldor:  daggers + osiris stuff, daggers talk of him slaying bes and inheriting his dark portfolio, they spin around him and try to protect him from drago and bluey as bluey puts caldor in the kreeghor goo and heals him

Drago: piles of loot sorting, getting proof of tolkeen corruption from surviving aot members in huntsville

players rush to area the jet crashed
rescue 3 near death borgs inside
see 5 more jets fly over, mistys squad, hear call lightning, those jets crash
get to crash sites, are attacked by some former armor of thunder members, and a harvestor.
the harvestor dominates drago and sends him to kill lady naya
luckily the harvestor is defeated even though invisible and drago exorcises nxlas essence from the aot members

Tin Duhks the only elder that can talk offers 50 mil if the players can get the 3 dying cyborgs to safety in huntsville where they can be fixed up.


Drago reconizes the dead dwarf harvestor from Tolkeen, on the dwarf are papers directly implicating Scard in Tolkeen of defying justice and giving unlawful aide to the harvestors that were killed by Sparticus's men resulting in his exile from tolkeen.
Perhapse with these papers sparticus could clear his name.

Ancient Ice Worm by JoseArias on DeviantArt

Order of battle:

The 3rd minute of battle with NXLA...

Drago senses 2 rifts opening nearby to the south...and to the north!



 ...then

Radio messages go back and forth:

Ban Gunter of Guntersville Armed Forces is radioed by
Elder Bo: "rescue me!  im in the jet!  "
Ban: "I'm sorry sir by my ground forces are still 5 minutes out youll have to hold off for at least 3 until we can setup artillery and get our spotters in the field, until then all I can offer is air support from the 1st fighter squadron.  Also tell your pilot we got some of his soldiers with us."


LT Misty Gunter to Ban Gunter offering air support to Sparticus "seem that bombers in a bind, we didn't finish it on our first missile run by, out of missiles but we still got 20mm rounds in our auto cannons so giving you air support in 15"

drago loots while nxlas rift to his home dimention treasure wavers open only for 120 seconds, this is written by the player of Drago:
"

After the last locust leaves Drago seizes the opportunity to start cashing in on the the virtually defenseless loot (since he teleports at will).

Omniscient Drago is currently imbued with:

- Clairvoyance

- Object Read

- Presence Sense

- Sense Magic

- Sense Evil

- & more psionic abilities & powers

Drago picks the most powerful radiations (greatest rune level?) of non-evil magic in the mountain of epic loot then scoops two magic nets' worth (6 people can fit inside each net) of the most potent magic items w/random other non-evil loot in the bag and take the 1st huge haul to Huntersville. (roughly 3 seconds to scan, 3 seconds to scoop, and 3 seconds to teleport out = roughly 9 seconds)

Scooping up the pile that radiates the strongest drago drops this at Sparticus's base in Huntsvill.
