[19:48] <.da_GM> *** The World Changes - Session 49 *** 
[19:48] <.da_GM> *** Beginning recap of previous session *** 
[19:48] <.da_GM> *After a long trial imposed by Atrina against Lars 
[19:48] <.da_GM> attempt on her life. Atrina had left the proceedings 
[19:48] <.da_GM> and never returned. Kanax had the charges against 
[19:48] <.da_GM> Lars dropped since his accuser was no longer present. 
[19:48] <.da_GM> By this time most of the day had past and it would 
[19:48] <.da_GM> be good to remain in Hutton's Rest until morning 
[19:48] <.da_GM> again to avoid travelling at night in Einar's 
[19:48] <.da_GM> wilderness.
[19:48] <.da_GM> *With Atrina missing Lars has decided he will go 
[19:48] <.da_GM> after her. Thus proving that he is right in the 
[19:49] <.da_GM> assumption that the lady is dangerous and would 
[19:49] <.da_GM> betray the group.
[19:49] <.da_GM> *Morning again dawns on the village of Hutton's Rest 
[19:49] <.da_GM> and what remains of the party has packed their 
[19:49] <.da_GM> things and are riding towards the gates.

[19:50] <+_Nym_> ::Looks about the group:: "Atrina took the scrolls with her." 
[19:50] <+James> "I'm not surprised."
[19:50] <+_Nym_> "If we can find the pool I have not a clue as to how we can destroy it." 
[19:51] <+James> "Well if you don't, I sure don't.  Matser Shaw, do you have any ideas?"
[19:51] <+T_Shaw> "So, we need to formulate a new strategy."
[19:51] <.da_GM> *the group rides out of the gates and back onto the road heading south and east
[19:51] <.da_GM> ?? marching order
[19:51] <+James> ((I thought we were deciding where to go.))
[19:52] <+T_Shaw> (( I'll ride beside Nym. I have an idea of how to possibly get the info. ))
[19:52] <+_Nym_> ((we need to keep moving if we want to make the next village, ride close together so we can talk)) 
[19:52] <+James> ((I'm near Nym and Shaw for now.  Will drop back a bit once the convo is over.))
[19:52] <.da_GM> (( decide that on the road so you don't lose daylight travel time in Einar ))
[19:53] <+Bredock> (( I'll ride behind Nym and Shaw so I can hear the convo, but not get in the way.))
[19:53] <+_Nym_> ::Nods to T Shaw:: 
[19:53] <+T_Shaw> "Master Nym, I believe we may be able to get clues how to destroy the blood pool by tapping into the Akasa."
[19:54] <+_Nym_> "I know it takes out some extra time, but I'd say we go back to Polaris." 
[19:54] <+_Nym_> ::Nods again to T Shaw's comments:: 
[19:54] <+T_Shaw> "After all, Atrina did say that it would take powerful Deryni magic to do the trick. Surely one of the Anadari might know a thing or two about it."
[19:55] <+_Nym_> "I've tried, but it is elusive. That side of the Akasha always is." 
[19:55] <+_Nym_> ::Blinks his eyes:: 
[19:55] <+T_Shaw> "Aye, but I was not speaking of tapping into the Akasa on that side, Master Nym."
[19:56] <+James> @roll d20+6
[19:56] <@BoxCars> James: 1d20+6 = ( 6+6 ) = 12
[19:56] <.da_GM> *Kanax looks down and about and then up at Nym 
[19:56] <+James> "Is there anything a non-Anadari could do to help?  Lend strength or anything like that?"
[19:57] <+_Nym_> "No of course not Master Shaw, but questions that have to do with this pool are cloudy. I have tried and failed to get a direct answer. I know only that it can be destroyed." 
[19:57] <+_Nym_> ::Nods to Kanax:: "You see it too?" 
[19:57] <+T_Shaw> "Aye, if it's tangible, it can be destroyed."
[19:57] <.da_GM> *Kanax* "I see that curse of yours alright"
[19:58] <+T_Shaw> :: turns to Nym :: "It sounds like James is offering his services to us to try to tap into the Akasa. Is there something he can do to aid us?"
[19:58] <+_Nym_> ::Sighs:: "Does anyone else see the blood?" 
[19:58] <+James> "I'll help in any way I can, Master Shaw"
[19:59] <+T_Shaw> "I do, Master Nym."
[19:59] <+James> " . . . but I don't see any blood."
[19:59] <+_Nym_> "It is the river of blood again James, it flows with us and around us, down the road." 
[20:00] <+Bredock> "I shall help in any way i can also"
[20:00] <+Bredock> @roll d20+1
[20:00] <@BoxCars> Bredock: 1d20+1 = ( 14+1 ) = 15
[20:01] <+_Nym_> "I don't think James can help us. An Anadari's connection to the Akasha is personal. Much like I couldn't help someone digest food." 
[20:02] <+James> "Very well, but if you find you need anything, my offer stands."
[20:02] <+Bredock> "Did you say 'river' of blood, 'cause i can't see anything, but it feels like I'm in water"
[20:02] * The_Giant_Panda has joined #Teara-Adan
[20:03] <+T_Shaw> "We appreciate that, James. A far cry from the feelings of the day previous."
[20:04] <+_Nym_> "Yes we did Bredock, it is a vision though I don't know what it means." 
[20:05] <+T_Shaw> "Master Nym, do you think it could be a sign leading us to the blood pool?"
[20:05] <+_Nym_> "If we could locate a portal we could be in Polaris in a day. James could lend strength to the jump." 
[20:05] <+_Nym_> "I don't know Master Shaw, I just can't be sure. It stopped when we entered the village. I think it might be a warning." 
[20:06] <+James> "There might be one at the monestary, but maybe not."
[20:06] <+T_Shaw> "Could be. Much like the parchments I created."
[20:07] <.da_GM> *Kanax* "Aye the monestary. It might have one of your Portals.  It will have provisions too." *he looks down again at the road*
[20:08] <+_Nym_> "This blood flows down this road. It might mean that we are headed to danger at the end of it, maybe death, maybe killing." 
[20:08] <+James> "Well, if we find the pool, I think killing is likely, and possibly death as well."
[20:10] <.da_GM> *several hours before midday the party passes a village which has Kanax a bit puzzled*
[20:10] <+James> "I thought the villages were a days ride apart."
[20:11] <+_Nym_> "Yes, so did I Kanax." 
[20:11] <+James> "So do we go on and hope to find another by nightfall, or stay here until morning?"
[20:12] <+Bredock> "We could ask someone if there is another one near."
[20:12] <.da_GM> *Kanax* "They are ... that was Mountain View... we shouldnt be near it yet.  Not until dark"
[20:12] <+T_Shaw> "Does anyone have a map of Einar handy?"
[20:12] <+_Nym_> ::Stops his horse:: 
[20:12] * +Bredock stops
[20:12] <+James> "Then our travel is being accelerated magically?"
[20:12] * +T_Shaw stops my horse.
[20:13] <.da_GM> *Kanax snorts* "I know these roads.  I don't need a map to tell me where things are."
[20:13] * +James stops
[20:13] <+_Nym_> ::Seems to mutter under his breath:: 
[20:13] <+James> " . . . and if so, by who or what?"
[20:14] <+_Nym_> "Kanax, what do you think happened? Is this where the village is supposed to be?" 
[20:15] <.da_GM> *Kanax* "Aye. The territory looks right. The village looks right. Just we shouldn't be here yet."
[20:16] <+James> "Well then the question stands.  Stay here, or hope our accelerated pace continues and we readh the next village before nightfall?"
[20:16] <+_Nym_> "How far to this monestary?" 
[20:17] <.da_GM> *Kanax shakes his head* "A weeks ride.  Be quicker if we still had a skiff ... "
[20:17] <+Bredock> ?? Forgive my ignorance, but what is a skiff ??
[20:17] <+James> "I could fly, but that would just separate the group."
[20:18] <+_Nym_> :: Seems to be listening to something and nodding to himself :: 
[20:19] <+_Nym_> "Stops nodding and clears his throat:: "The village seems normal." 
[20:19] <.da_GM> !! a wide flat bottomed boat ... the one they are talking about was magical and flew !!
[20:20] <+Bredock> "If we continue at this pace we should be able to make it to the next village in time."
[20:20] <+Bredock> (( Thanks ))
[20:21] <+James> "How do you know, Bredock?  Are you familiar with Einar, and with whatever power got us here this fast?"
[20:22] <+James> "Though there is a certain logic to it."
[20:22] <+Bredock> "No, but it was said that the villages are a day apart, and we made it here in ample time. If the accelerated pace continues, we should be able to make it to the next village, but that would be putting our trust in an unknown force."
[20:22] <+T_Shaw> "Aye. Without knowing the why, we shouldn't assume how we managed to get here so fast."
[20:23] <+James> "It's Summer, so the days are long.  Were you thinking of that?"
[20:23] <+T_Shaw> "And whatever got us here quickly can also slow us down to a crawl."
[20:23] <+_Nym_> ::Looks at the trail and points:: "I'll bet it has something to do with the vision. 
[20:23] <+James> "The villages are paced for a day's dalight in Winter, I suppose."
[20:24] <+James> "So assuming we can at least travel at normal speed, we should make the next one by nightfall."
[20:24] <+Bredock> "That would make since Nym. If we are moving down the river of blood, we would be going faster."
[20:25] <+_Nym_> We have nothing to lose by going on. I can re-create the trick Atrina did last time if we can't make it before dark." 
[20:25] <+James> "Agreed, Nym.  Let's continue."
[20:25] <+T_Shaw> "Bredock makes a good point. There is a way to test it, but it would take time."
[20:26] <+T_Shaw> "And, unfortunately, time is not a luxury for us."
[20:26] <+_Nym_> ::Looks to Kanax and Bredock:: "What do you say?" 
[20:27] <.da_GM> *Kanax looks down at the road* "Lets go"
[20:27] <+T_Shaw> "And I would be careful if we should run afoul of the current."
[20:27] <+Bredock> "I'll agree to going on. If the magical force slows us down, we have your dome and we have enough people to take guard."
[20:27] <+James> "Bredock, you said you can feel water.  Can you sense the current?"
[20:28] <+Bredock> "Yes."
[20:29] <+Bredock> "It felt like we were moving down a river."
[20:29] <+_Nym_> "I can see the river flowing, we are going with the current." 
[20:29] <+_Nym_> ::Mutters again to himself:: 
[20:30] <+James> "Let's go, then.  Bredock and Nym will be able to tell if the current chages."
[20:30] <+_Nym_> ::Starts off at a trot again:: 
[20:30] <+James> ::Floows Nym::
[20:30] * +T_Shaw follows Nym
[20:30] <+James> ((follows))
[20:30] <.da_GM> (( for those that can see the river of blood ... the vision stays .. it doesnt go away ))
[20:30] * +Bredock folows the party
[20:31] <+Bredock> (( follows ))
[20:33] <+_Nym_> ::A puzzled look on his face he looks around and then resumes facing forward:: 
[20:35] <.da_GM> *the party continues to travel down the road and reach what Kanax calls "Corless", yet another village, around mid afternoon*
[20:35] <+_Nym_> ::Over his shoulder to the rest of the party:: "Something is happening...." 
[20:35] <+Bredock> "Good or bad?"
[20:35] <+James> "What's happening?"
[20:36] <+James> @roll d20+6
[20:36] <@BoxCars> James: 1d20+6 = ( 17+6 ) = 23
[20:36] <+_Nym_> "We are traveling extremely fast. Even at my fastest I could only keep up for a short time with the pace we are setting." 
[20:37] <+Bredock> "Do you think we have friends in high places?"
[20:37] <+_Nym_> "Much faster then the skiff even." 
[20:37] <+James> "I see the river now."
[20:37] <+James> "I just suddenly began to see it."
[20:37] <+_Nym_> "I haven't a clue Bredock." 
[20:38] <+_Nym_> ::Nods to James:: 
[20:38] <+James> "Well, we should be able to make another village today."
[20:38] <+Bredock> "Is there any motive for our enemies to speed our progress up?"
[20:38] <+T_Shaw> "To lead us into an ambush."
[20:38] <+James> "If they're waiting for us, there is."
[20:39] <+Bredock> "Another 2 at this rate, maybe even three"
[20:39] <+_Nym_> "Perhaps herding lamps to a slaughter. I don't think anyone can ambush us at this speed." 
[20:39] <+_Nym_> "Either way, I say we make as much time as we can while we can." 
[20:39] <+T_Shaw> "Unless they're leading us into a place TO be ambushed."
[20:40] <+T_Shaw> :: mutters to self :: "If you're behind this, Atrina..."
[20:41] <+_Nym_> "This is a fortunate thing for us. Let's not look a gift horse in the mouth. We don't know if our enemies are doing this." 
[20:41] * Neko_Ali has joined #Teara-Adan
[20:41] * Neko_Ali sets mode: +v Neko_Ali
[20:41] <+James> "Yes, let's ride the river for now."
[20:41] <+_Nym_> (('ello Neko)) 
[20:42] <+Neko_Ali> ((just lurking and watching, iffn ya don't mind))
[20:42] <+James> ((Go for it, Neko.))
[20:43] <+_Nym_> ::Continues past the village at a trot:: 
[20:43] <+Bredock> "I'll go for continueing (sp?)"
[20:43] * +Bredock sets off
[20:43] * +T_Shaw rides onward.
[20:43] * +James goes along
[20:44] <.da_GM> *by night fall the party has reached the village Kanax calls "Knight's Bridge"
[20:45] <+T_Shaw> "A fitting place to stop, I'd say."
[20:45] <+T_Shaw> :: nods to Nym ::
[20:45] <+James> "Agreed"
[20:46] * +Bredock nods
[20:46] <+_Nym_> ::To Kanax:: "How far to that Monistary from here at a normal pace?" 
[20:47] <+_Nym_> @roll d20+4 
[20:47] <@BoxCars> _Nym_: 1d20+4 = ( 6+4 ) = 10
[20:47] <.da_GM> *a quaint mountainside village ... fields cut into the mountain side can be seen in teh setting sun as the people head down the mountain and for the shelter of the village for the night*
[20:47] <.da_GM> *Kanax* "Let'e think ... just under a week ... depending on weather ... it is summer after all"
[20:49] <+James> "So six days?  We should make it in two if the current holds."
[20:50] <+_Nym_> ??Does the blood go into the village or stop at the gates like the last time?? 
[20:50] <+T_Shaw> @roll d20+2
[20:50] <@BoxCars> T_Shaw: 1d20+2 = ( 5+2 ) = 7
[20:51] <.da_GM> (( the river keeps flowing ... it doesnt stop anywhere ))
[20:51] <+James> ((Through the village?))
[20:51] <+James> ((Or around it?))
[20:52] <.da_GM> (( both but it trickles like a tributary into the village ))
[20:53] <+_Nym_> ::Points to the gates of the village:: "The river is diffrent then the last time we stopped in a village" 
[20:55] <+Bredock> "By how?"
[20:55] <+_Nym_> "A trickle runs into the village this time and the rest flows around it. Last time it stopped at the village." 
[20:56] <+T_Shaw> "Like a stone in a river."
[20:56] <+James> "Maybe it's gaining strength.  In that case, we might reach the monestary tomorrow night."
[20:56] <+Bredock> "Hmmm. Think it means we are getting closer? Or somehow the farther we go the stronger it gets?"
[20:56] <+_Nym_> "I don't know." 
[20:57] <+_Nym_> "But I am ready for a bath and something besides trail food to eat." ::smiles and sets off at a trot towards the village Inn:: 
[20:57] <+_Nym_> ::Stops suddenly and frowns:: 
[20:58] * +Bredock jumps off his horse. "Anyone want me to take their horse to the stable?"
[20:58] <+_Nym_> ::Looks back to the group:: "Anyone else feel that?" 
[20:58] <+Bredock> "Feel what?"
[20:59] <+James> "Ummm . . . no.  What was it?"
[20:59] <+T_Shaw> "I don't feel anything, Master Nym."
[21:00] <+_Nym_> ::His eyes narrow:: "Something....brushed through my mind. Something cold, but I don't know what it is."

[21:02] <+_Nym_> ::Shudders as if cold:: "Something is wrong..." 
[21:02] <+_Nym_> "This place is wrong." 
[21:02] <+James> "Wrong?"

[21:03] <@BoxCars> T_Shaw: 1d20+9 = ( 3+9 ) = 12
[21:03] <+Bredock> "Like what?"
[21:03] <+_Nym_> ::closes his eyes:: "Yes..." 
[21:03] <+_Nym_> ::breath's deeply in concentration:: 
[21:04] * +James stays on his horse, not moving
[21:04] <.da_GM> *Kanax stops and looks back*

[21:08] <+_Nym_> ::Turns to the mountain and opens his eyes:: 
[21:10] * +James follows Kagi's gaze and looks to the mountain as well.
[21:10] <+_Nym_> "On the other side of this mountain is a place of unspeakable evil. So much that it can be felt from here. I think it calls to me, that it what I feel. Only I feel it because only I have gone to it and still live." 
[21:11] <+_Nym_> "The village should be fine, but I suggest we stay on this side of the mountain." 
[21:11] <+James> "You've gone there physically, or in visions?"
[21:11] <+_Nym_> "Physically, with my teacher Caran Shar." 
[21:11] <+James> "Ahhhh . . ."
[21:12] <+_Nym_> "I did not recognize this place from this side of the mountain."

[21:12] <+Bredock> "So... does that mean we found it?"
[21:13] <+James> "I don;t think so, Bredock.  Nym has never been to the pool pgysically."
[21:13] <+James> "This must be some other evil."
[21:13] <.da_GM> *Kanax* "You've been to the ruins?"
[21:13] <+_Nym_> "No Bredock. Just another legacy left by old Valimar. A castle of torture and death." 
[21:14] <+Bredock> "Oooo OK"
[21:14] <+_Nym_> ::To Kanax:: "yes, I spent the night in them."

[21:14] * The_Giant_Panda is now known as Wild_Card
[21:14] <+_Nym_> "And travelled to it's lower levels in search of a portal." 
[21:15] <+_Nym_> "We where in desperate need." 
[21:15] <+James> "Did you find one?"
[21:15] <+_Nym_> "We never found the portal, but something....lurks....in that castle." 
[21:15] <+James> "I see."
[21:16] <+_Nym_> "It over came both Caran and myself. We blacked out and awoke in the morning." 
[21:17] <.da_GM> *kanax rides back closer to the group* "Einar once had a group of Anadari that called it home. They killed eachother off one night. In a keep on the otherside of this mountain. Or so goes legends."
[21:17] <+T_Shaw> "Hence the name of the village?
[21:17] <+T_Shaw> "
[21:18] <+_Nym_> "The things they did to Anadari there long ago are horrible beyond words. Both Caran and I saw it." 
[21:18] <.da_GM> *Kanax* "Aye"
[21:19] <+James> "Well, let's get some food and sleep in the village, then."
[21:19] <+_Nym_> ::Shutters again:: "I need a drink." :: begins riding at a brisk trot::

[21:19] * +Bredock gets off his horse and takes it to the stable
[21:20] * +James heads to the stabel as well.
[21:20] <.da_GM> *the party rides towards the village as the gates begin to close ... fortuately they keep the gates open long enough for the party to enter*
[21:20] * +T_Shaw rides behind Nym
[21:21] <.da_GM> ?? anything major for the night for anyone ??
[21:21] <+James> ((Nope))
[21:21] * Wild_Card has quit IRC (Quit: Enter Death, once again The circle of death never ends Swing the scythe, through your soul He'll aswing till your blood runs cold As another one is taken, if you think your safe, you're mistaken You should best be prepared, Once he comes, you won't be spared)

[21:25] <+James> "Yeah, I'd like to know what any experts know too, and I assume your council are experts."
[21:25] <+Bredock> "I would also like ot know more"
[21:25] <.da_GM> ?? who is leading ??
[21:26] <+T_Shaw> (( I'd say Nym is. ))
[21:26] <+_Nym_> "Yes they are. So we don't attract attention we'll do this in my room upstairs." 
[21:26] <+_Nym_> ((I'll lead))
