Session 90 - Hunting Blood Mages - Part 1 Report

General Summary

We were in the cave with the dragon   Verst, the fire mage asked questions What are the powers that keep what's his name? - powers from the next world, he’s great and with extra magic guys around him Where is another stone - at Kiras. What did we miss at the Barons - this sword in the graves thats a +5
  I tried my new sword and it works :)))   We went down and joined the geng and Greg   The Girlees wants to be adventurous, I support, but training first Max realized that if he is magical, that's probably why he can teleport!   Friedrich talked about where we are going, a Neo-Ordosi date, blood friends, then Roger's boss (+ maybe and probably ghosts at the end)   I flew to the moon at midnight And Roger is likeable, Greg is a good mount;   Max and Freddie Thunder Thighs do memory magic with the power of friendship, but it doesn't work. Depression , but hope.   Stop trying to convert my crewmates tho! At least he fixed his glasses   The Neo-Ordosi do not know Bahamot, amusing;   The girls are in the carriage
  Magical blue Everett learned to fly in his sleep, wizards are cool, he has a magical cat companion! I'm jealous… He found the Neo-Ordosi ambushing Elves.. They're good fighters, but Jim’s a dumbass, I like him   But why kill the elves? Fucking racism. Freddie, whatever you hate, don't do.   Max and Fred-soft, went to buy a house for Spaiky the thief and Summer Huntress, "Fred-take-no-prisoners" threatened the mayor with religion and Max was cute in the background It worked.   Were leaving them in the city for three days   Avaras the cool dude agreed to help me make sure I talk to the Dorils before they kill them Don't know how to stop them from killing each other But i'll find something.;   We found villages on the way, and a ship!!!!!!!!!!! i want it Roger agrees But these cherubjiks don't go with the flow Max swears a blood oath that we take the next ship I find   Eileen flirts with Max and he doesn't engage her, what a man. I Want It That Way!   We went to bed early to head out early in the morning   Something crept up in the night   Strategy is cool, personnel management is boring, that's why my sister is in charge of it on the ship   We split up and started looking for the elves We found a trail, gave Greg a ring and sent him and Roger off with wind at their back at full speed Roger found a camp of Dumpster Divers looting the ruins of elven villages;
    For later.   We continued forward until we found remnants of a magic circle Avaras was able to recognize that magic was cast here, that an illusion was cast here to hide the casting of tha magic, what kind of magic it was, and where does the source of its power come from! Got damn wow! I should have gotten a magical detective sooner! Like Ali is incredible, not replacing her with anything, but Shiver Mi Blood, that was one hell of an identification! In any case, they cast a spell to know who was here and to strengthen themselves if necessary, So they know they're being followed, they're ready for it, and they know it's us. Well, if they've already noticed us, we might just as well make ourselves known >:)   Following Avaras’ We descended to the ruins of another settlement... We found there a supporting pillar of one of the temples that collapsed in the war... Looks like the fella they draw the power from is inside the pillar.   Frederic-Mazozark struck the rock, and it was cut in two! There was a lady half stuck inside it An elve made of stone. Ahhh shit.   This is one of the cursed warriors who betrayed Doryl. I know every nation has its horrors behind it, but it still hurts to see them face to face.   In any case, this mistake is too late to correct, Maybe in the future, when I can do more, But for now the magic of these elves has to be stopped, and this elves is the battery. If we release her, or even just touch her, she will turn us all to stone, and return to wreak havoc. It hurts me to do it, but there's really no choice, At least for her this pain is only temporary...   Crack!…   That's it.. heh.. heh.. This should break their spell, and is sure to get their attention.   We decided to stay here and wait for them to show up. Most hid. Max ripped two trees for his hideout.. he's perfect. I asked Friedrich to update Jim and his group on the situation and to advance to us.   They did not understand the instructions correctly and are going to end up somewhere else... Like I said, Jim’s a dumbass. We sent Roger and Greg to pick them up.   We have been waiting there for some time and no one has come But then Avaras noticed something behind Max.
I didn't see anything so I'm not sure how he noticed, the eyes of a magician I guess, jealous. Anyway, as he warned us, Max suddenly turned around and a letter appeared!   According to Avaras it was an unseen servant who brought the letter and then gave it to Max because he was moving,   But I prefer to believe that Max just split him in half with the tree when he turned around, and so it dropped the message at his feet, Oh the power of faith :)   Max started to read the letter and refused to let me see it too, like come o- give- comi- I want to- this are guys from my kingdo- , hay! The short of it, he reads slowly.   … Henry - "Well at least it says who sent it?" Max - "Ummm, Lorraine" Henry - "Lorraine? Lorraine who-..." tech, tech, tech, Ding! …   At that time Avaras noticed something else with his wizard's eyes And he tried to indicate quietly that he noticed with his magical eye another eye noticing him. Max waves at it, and Avaras cursed in wizard because now it knows we see it.   So they sent an eye… and if it's the Lorraine I think it is… oh, what have I got to lose.   I asked Avaras to guide me, I stood in front of the eye, pulled out the remains of the royal symbol, and wrote in the sand: "Where do your allegiances lay?" The eye was gone.   A little later when Max let me read the letter my suspicions were confirmed, The message in the letter was more or less: ~ To those who destroyed our magic Not cool, we acknowledge the fact that you are strong but do not underestimate us as well. If you are enemies of the Dominion, let's talk. But we are being hunted and we don't trust you, So send the fairy alone, without his super cool magical animal and we will talk Sincerely, Lorraine from House Doryl. ~ I'm simplifying of course, but aha! I knew my guess was right, it was Lorraine from the castle guard! She wasn't a noble or an official part of the family, so she shouldn't be using the house name, but she did work for us, and there isn't really much left of the house, so I guess that's fine. At least she still remembers who she is loyal to, i hope   But now I understand why Max refused to let me read, The poor guy just discovered that he was magical, and thought they were talking about him when they asked for the fairy!... Gods Damnit, not every magical creature is a fairy Max! You are a different creature, like ,ahh , like ahhh... I don't know, like a big strong magical creature, not a fairy! The dragon said you're a god's joke, that must make you a Jokeion, or something... never mind!..   Anyway, these are my people. Or at least they were my people. Or well, at least they're led by someone who used to be one of my people, Or technically, someone who has the same name as someone who was one of my dad's people when I was like 14, That is somehow still alive after the coup in which my father was killed and the throne taken... shit. No matter! It'll be fine These are my people and they will listen to me. And if they betray me, we will demolish them like they deserve! Heh, heh, heh... breathe... breathe... breathe.   They got the message, Now we just have to wait.   And we didn't have to wait much longer. Within two hours or so of the eye incident, Avaras noticed another servant, This one dropped his letter just below the previous location of the eye. And on it, an inscriptions in Or Quesir alphabet: ~ "Dear Henry" ~ Yasssssssss!!! ~ "You picked a bad time to show up" ~ Ah Shit.   The rest of the message was more or less fluff about being hunted and asking us to not break any more of their magic toys, but it felt too empty, Luckily Friedrich noticed that there was a secret message underneath the normal message in the letter. nice :) In an impressive act of cooperation, between me him and Avaras's (which was definitely not one-sided and mainly included them talking and me nodding and trying to understand) We managed (yes, all of us together!) to decipher the code and realize that this is a way to get to the Doryl’s hideout here in the mountains. Just then we heard Roger and the Neo-Ordosi coming from the forest.   I want to talk to them first, before we fight. But Jim and his gang have to catch them, and they don't tend to ask questions before they shoot.   Fridich is not telling me something. Friedrich says I can talk to them if I get to them first. Friedrich wants to kill them.   an argument between us. According to Frederick, Doryl's elves have done something very bad to him, so he wants to eliminate them. I have counterarguments, but they are irrelevant, because they fell on deaf ears.   I give the first letter to Roger and Jim, and tell them we'll send Roger to talk to the elves, split up and sneak through the woods around the rendezvous point, then flank them when they come to talk to him.   It's a distraction. My hope is that Jim will agree, which will give me more time to get to Lorraine and her gang's hideout and talk to them before the bloodshed begins.   Frederick will join the Neo-Ordosi, I don't think he'll go along with the lie. shit.   Max starts walking into the forest. And the race begins.
