still here ...
uhh what day is it ...?
I should be able to post this week...
but i'll be gone all of the week of the 18th for a wedding i dont think i'll be able to post that week.
I'm hoping things will slow down after that
sooo flipping busy lately ugg...

So I thought I'd post it. Have fun game bk on

Good to see you back Toothless.....

Good to have a post up. Lothor will probably, as usual, allow those smarter than he to speak for the group. But speak up quickly or you will have a blundering fighter as a spokesman!

Left it wide open for y'all.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........

Man, my writing has suffered from the brief hiatus (and not really doing anything after the semester). I better go and try and write more of the story I am attempting to get back in practice.

I have hit a minor road bloke this weekend with both comps out of house. Should get one back tomorrow so will have a post up then.

I hope we can find a safe place to rest. We need to redo our spells and such. We need to find out how to find a way to warp back through time. Maybe the wizards can send us to an Oracle. If we make to Allanan I think we can tell him the truth, backed up with the information about where he hides the sword. But it needs to just be him and it should be Cor, Sirene, Rayne and Ulthok because the others weren't there. Lothor was in the mountain but not in the party when we found the sword. Cor and Sirene need to set the pace and take the lead. Ulthok would reveal himself as a Halfling to Allanan. I promise Ulthok will be good,.... for a while anyway.

But we'll just have to see where this encounter leads.

The last part of your new post is incorrect.

In the end we failed and the armies of good were defeated. Now it seems the only way to ensure good triumphs is to change the past. I know Allanon is gone but I fear unless we find him the future is forfeit."
As you were sent into the past before the castle crashed you don't know the good guys lost.

ahh ok will correct it

OK..........
Well we need to figure how to get close to or even inside Drow Mountain. Keeper is the only player who has been through all the traps in Drow Mountain. I joined the game just as they had finished the last of the ten traps. So we may have to go through the traps again and several party members died doing that.

The last town mentioned was Star Falls in Erebor, if we teleported there we still have to fight our way to the mountain.

Now we will be facing a differernt magic because I'd say all the traps and creatures in the mountain had become corrupted by the long exposure to the evil sword. The magic traps will work differently so the same triggers used the first time most likely won't work now. Allanan's magic hasn't been corrupted so it will be strong.

Ulthok, Sirene, Cor and Rayne would have memories of the sword room if would be possible to do a direct teleport. But that in tough magic. I'd be happy to get to the ledge inside the massive cavern where Allanan's stronghold was.

So Keeper what do you think?

I don't think we would have chance to destroy the sword but we can get Allanan to send us back so we can finish our quest. He may be able to give us advice on what to do once we get back. But I don't think he will let us destroy the sword.

We might get him outside of Drow Mountain or even near the stronghold so he can send us back.

I forgot that Nimu went through the mountain too so she remembers the traps too.

We found the sword in Drow Mountain. The mountain is just north of Gygax in Graymark. We would want to help keep the location secret so we need transported near the mountain but not to the mountain. We could go to Pardot and then go up river to the mountain. We could to Gygax and hike in. We could go to Shiraka and hike in.

But we need to get to Allanan quickly because the sword is trying to control him and he had to lock himself in to stop from using it.

Rereading I think the party got more boats at Main by The Silver Lake to go down river to Drow Mountain.

If we can get transport to Gygax I think that would be close enough to hike in, we would still be able to come to the same side of the mountain as the party did the first time. Our exit through the giants caves many not be there yet.

Thoughts?
