These and other questions of our adventurers the gnome Agrid responds to the best of their knowledge, still shocked by the death of the magician.
" History and 'long. few years ago a group of adventurers arrive' in search of a tomb of the dragon, he asked for help to the wizards of Saarun in exchange for part of the treasure. Al'azbani drive them 'to the grave Dragon, the legendary 'short bones'. The group I go back' with the shipment of the treasures, but the Wizard of Saarun had changed. In fact, we later discovered that the tomb was a hideout of the cult of Shar, who trafficked in rituals with the Dragon Shadraxil, believed dead. Orontor was tainted by cult in exchange for who knows' what power he decided to kill the wizards of Saarun that does not bow to Shar.
Orontor and three others decided to pass from the queen of the night, the rest were sacrificed at Shar. Paldemar, at that time was engaged in research of this temple, he was able 'to include death Orontor who plan and run' from the atrium a few days before killing the wizards of Saarun. Al'azbani But the magicians and others hunted. Finding the Temple of Baphomet the maze was not easy, but sooner or later they would have succeeded if they had found Paldemar and had no hope. I contact 'with a ritual of message, and I joined him to help him in his enterprise against the worship of Shar. I had managed to infiltrate for good .. if you had not ruined my cover rapendomi in Winterhaven!
However, the wizards of Saarun Kalarel worked for the ritual to free Shussurru, you've foiled, while at the same time trying to find Paldemar, due to an end even more 'big. In fact we found out that the Church of Shar is preparing an army blanket in the dark, call Umbraforge, that he intends to move against Cormyr shortly. A huge strategic position would be to exploit the surge of thunder to attack the realm of Foril, but to open a permanent portal into the mountains and 'need to pass the approval dell'Ordinator Arcanis, and its control requires the 'unanimity' of magicians of Saarun. So Paldemar was the only obstacle to the opening of the portal .. Orontor will understand just 'Paldemar that' s dead, ask 'all'Ordinator to allow the opening of the portal, and the army will have' a powerful stronghold to attack with inexhaustible supplies Cormyr ... .
Agrid invites adventurers to See Paldemar cards, collected on a table.
Among these, turns its attention to a map of a camp, which would be the deployment of forces in the Shadowfell dell'umbraforge of the weapon and how it is connected with the portal:
" Paldemar is able to obtain this and other information with the help of gendarmes and Azer Noristo in the hall, and magic items of parallel trade Duergar. But they could not do anything to protect it, and then took a terrible decision. "
" In old books the order of which was part of wizards, and reading some texts on the worship of Baphomet which he had found the temple, he learned a ritual to contact powerful evil entity, but the enemy of Shar: The vestige Acererak. He made a pact with him, and obtained an alliance against Umbraforge the power to awaken the protections of the temple and have the resources to protect themselves against attacks by magic magicians Saarun corrupt. When Al'az Bani has come to the temple with his small army could not defeat the evidence, the demons and undead Acererak data and was first rejected, then the second attack killed. "
" But he paid dearly for this power ... the emissary of Acererak claimed his life .. even if I do not understand why .. " concludes the gnome.
The group, with the permission of the elf, stops to read the cards Paldemar. There is information on the worship of Baphomet (including an interesting history dating back to period before the plague of spells, which may be of interest to Gazbari). Many parchments of rituals, not that maps of the labyrinth and projects relating to the operation of the tanks that supply the lobby of the seven pillars.
There are also some notes of adventurers on the court bone. What seems to interest very Leonard, for personal reasons.
" Paldemar had a plan on how to kill Orontor. It had to do with tanks but she never explained the details. Orontor will realize very quickly the death of Paldemar, and evoke the Ordinator. Want to help me Orontor Empty table? "asks Agrid.
The six after a brief consultation agree that, in exchange for magical items that belonged to Paldemar, will look at the cards the magician on the tanks and the next day to seek a trap.
Agrid opens a kind of magic against the wall and safe delivery to the adventurers a stick, a cape, some alchemical reagents and components, and closes the safe. Hoverbeth and Leonard bring the cards to study while others are resting after the exhausting day.
Someone points out that the troglodytes, who were working with Paldemar on this plane, could find out more ', or that prove to be good allies in a direct confrontation with the sorcerer and his guards protectors.
Then finally they will agree: Agrid will deal 'to return atrium and with the help of gendarmes attract Orontor tanks for the evening, convincing him that there will be 'Paldemar to confront and defeat. The others, except that Leonard and Hoverbeth are studying how to activate the mechanisms of the temple and if there are other interesting information in the maps Paldemar, will range from Troglodytes to convince them to join the fray. Then in the afternoon you will find all the tanks to prepare the ambush.
The journey to the lair of the Troglodytes (which should last a few hours, according to information found in the temple), and 'broken but' from a meeting singles.
In an area of \u200b\u200bthe maze, a light from a side path takes the attention Orkut. The four are organized to investigate the light, and without attracting attention find that in a semi populated area of \u200b\u200bthe maze, a dwarf wearing a crown of bones and other jewelry, talking quietly to some human dressed as a warrior while eating at an open fire improvised. Kaliber
recalled that the police, emporium, had told them a reward for the recovery of the crown of bone that had been stolen by a dwarf. Kaliber
Dan and come forward, without taking the threat, but leaving the other spot in the rear. The nano
reacts immediately ordered his six guards protect against intruders.
" How dare cross the strings of my kingdom so 'blatantly? What do you want, Stoldo from your king? "said the dwarf, pompously and in a somewhat 'out of place, while the warriors (mostly human) unsheathed their swords and huddle around him. All but one that remains on the edge of the room.
" Your subjects are at peace, with important information " replies Dan, sensing that the dwarf and 'probably a bit' insane.
The nano seems pleased by the reverent tone. " We come to inform you that the atrium of the seven pillars, there are important changes. There will be 'an early clash between the magician and the magician Orontor Paldemar rebel, and I imagine that the news is for you .. could have your party and your advantage in combat "Dan ventures, hoping to guess the answer if the dwarf and his men can be good allies the dangerous confrontation that awaits them .
" Business is not interested in the atrium High King Dhorik, has a lot of things more 'important things to do, it' s true, sir? "says the gunman who had remained on the sidelines." Go away peacefully from the kingdom. "
The king nods" Yes Thank you for your information, you will remember 'when will' time to pay the duty. Now go away. . Kaliber Dan and give a look around. Some gold coins are seen by a lot on the ground, and there 'a wooden door closed, which could keep other treasures .. Dan decides to make the sign agreed with the other two, hidden in darkness' behind him, to come and attack.
Okut enters and hurls curses and spells at all, seriously hurting them. Naysend load as' near warrior and knocks him down in two shots. Kaliber fall on the nano, which is protected by a fighter, but resist that only two flagellate before falling dead to the ground. The nano fanned the hatchet and attacked the champion. Kaliber shake the scourge to disarm him but hit him and knocks him down in one shot. Meanwhile, Dan takes care of the other deflargando balls of fire and lose the meaning of the warrior who had spoken just before.
After two minutes all the men are eliminated, and only the head of the warriors' still alive, unconscious and bleeding. While others searched and took possession of the assets of the group, which seemed pretty rich, Dan wakes up and stabilizes the warrior.
" who you are 'cause you were here, and who and' nano this crazy? .
"We are mercenaries .." The man looks around and sees the other corpses. "Idiots!'ve Ruined everything! That nano worth a fortune. It 's still alive? "
" No. Why'? "
"Freaky know where are the secret of his rich family and we were to find ourselves . Every now and then came back from the labyrinth with jewels and gold to pay us .. a few more days and we could find out where they were! .. But now everything is 'lost .
Our explore the corridors nearby, but it' s impossible to tell which side they are secret. " You are a mercenary? Well. From now works for us. We'll pay you tomorrow, today we need your sword. "says Kaliber, freeing him from the ropes with which he had been tied." And no, you can not refuse. But tomorrow you will be free . With the new, involuntary acquisition, the group continues on the road map to the lair of troglodytes.
After an hour where there's five maps mark Paldemar live Troglodytes. This is a complex of natural caves very wet and smelly. They arrive at the center of a large cave when they stop and decide to launch the ritual of understanding of the language so that you can communicate with the troglodytes.
From start to recite a few minutes later when their lights are starting to see shadows moving in front of them separately and then begin to feel a multitude of creatures gather less than 20 meters away.
Despite missing two minutes at the end of the ritual, Dan decides to stop and groped communication with this primitive race before they can attack them.
Only 2:00 to 3:00 unintelligible grunts screaming match statement from Dan
" Pal-de-Mar. we are friends Paldemar . "Troglodytes
I seem to talk to each other, but it 's clear that none of them speak a language understood by the group. They are now visible to the torches and fairy lights in the group of about fifty troglodytes, most expressions of which have not very friendly.
Dan tells the group to be ready to flee, and, repeating the same phrases, he decides to move forward, leaving behind their arms, hands raised, to the group. The whispers are becoming more ' strong and when the Eladrin is a few meters from the creatures, is wildly grabbed by one of them and dragged into the crowd, which starts in a disorganized in Stratton.
Dan suspected that the troglodytes were so 'stupid and tried to lynch him, then he was ready to step back through the teleport magic, but now the spark he ignited the hostilities', and the other adventurers were now forced to flee.
targeted by the javelins of the troglodytes, the five runs back to the caves, waiting to come to an area more 'quiet.
With only slight injury (not tracked!) Reunite after a while, to discover that the flight provided an opportunity to mercenary "forced" to escape to one of the many caves side.
The day does not seem to be commenced in the best way. Only a few hours when you will present Orontor 'tanks, and no ally' was recruited, and the group does not have any specific plan on how to defeat him. The clash comes really hard.
a good step four go into the tanks to get everything ready, come and get some good ideas.
