	[[Riptide]] was as reliable as ever and got us to [[Calder]] safely in just a few hours. Once alighted in [[Calder]], a few hefty Ogre dock guards insisted on a fee, which we paid - I'd rather not argue with someone almost three hobbits tall over a few silvers. The guards at the large Black Tower (in Calder city) were kind enough to direct us to the correct tower and even provided escorts. Half an hour later and 5 miles southwest along the coast, we found the correct tower. ''The guards don't say a word, even to each other, and were covered head to toe in armour with not a gap ~~â€“~~ all very odd. I think they were spooky''.

	This Black Tower of Calder did indeed have purple spots. We were shown inside and introduced to Gadget, a giant mouse who is two hobbits tall and wearing a tool belt around her waist. I've seen things like that after a long night out, but I was stone cold sober at this point. I cast my knowing eye around and spotted a number of intriguing inventions. Gadget fed us a wonderful tea, made by a magnificent device, and then explained that a dead body had been found in Netherford and the Calder guard had brought this to Gadget and assigned her the investigation into the man's death. She took us to the cellar and showed us the body (Human, Male, 5'10", dead for 32 hours). The arm was burnt off by fire, the body frozen and it was stripped of anything valuable.

	Gadget explained that the plan was to use the Opterion, a large fantastic device she had created that channelled chaos and mana together, to send us back a number of days to observe the event of the man's death. I spent some time with her as she explained the workings of the Opterion and even as a master mechanician, the device amazed me. In the meantime Dalran searched the body, but was unable to reveal anything else, but he did make drawings of the corpse's face.

	Following a long night out with Ishamael, I spotted an ad on the guild notice board. Gadget Hackwrench of Calder City was looking for an experienced group to assist with body guarding and investigating some suspicious events. I picked up more party companions throughout the day as at some point I ran into Dalran and Vapour, who agreed to join me. I have no idea how I organised it, but Iâ€™m sure my friend Rip, a fabulous watermage that sails the Sweetwater, had agreed to take us to Calder. He had recommended his new apprentice, Prudence, to join us as well.		Following a long night out with [[Ishamael]], I spotted an ad on the guild notice board.

	Gadget negotiates a midday departure for our intrepid party and we depart Alusia on Lord ~~Azzurâ€™s~~ plane ~~traveling~~ ship, â€˜[[Calder Navy\|The Face of Chaos]]â€™. [[Captain Sandokan]] takes us into mists, and we find that it is now nighttime and weâ€™re now on the plane of [[Legend]]. Dalran managed to locate the item and Lirdrium explained that Trefus will be aware of him if he goes close to Trefus and things will become heated, so we decide to head in ourselves.

[[Captain Sandokan]] takes us into mists, and we find that it is now nighttime and weâ€™re now on the plane of [[Legend]]. Dalran managed to locate the item and [[Lurdrium\|Lirdrium]] explained that Trefus will be aware of him if he goes close to Trefus and things will become heated, so we decide to head in ourselves.

	Lirdrium tells us that Trefus resides in an enormous castle on a mountaintop, surrounded by clouds shooting lightning and has a number of powerful Ice Demons in residence along with assorted other beings we should try not to encounter. Lirdrium casts a spell that allows us to walk on the air (if we chose to) as we leave the ship and we make our way to the Castle. Closer to the castle we spot Trefus (via Dalran's Crystal of Vision) through an open window in his study. I bravely ~~volunteer~~ to sneak in and steal the amulet - naturally Prudence swoons and Vapour congratulates me on my bravery. Dalran, as always, advises me that we will be here to help if I get into trouble but I assure him that with my skills and expertise (trouble is my middle name) I will be fine.

Dalran, as always, advises me that we will be here to help if I get into trouble but I assure him that with my skills and expertise (trouble is my middle name) I will be fine.

	We have discovered that if we were to fly through the clouds the lightning will hit us so I decide to walk in (using ~~Lirdriumâ€™s~~ air walking magic) and once close then climb the castle wall. Quietly and carefully I make it to the open window, but Trefus hears something and becomes more alert. Thank god for Dalranâ€™s invisibility! Trefus approaches the window, unsure of what alerted him, and I, with amazing skill, remove the amulet from around his neck without him noticing as Dalran casts a Storm Magic counter-spell underneath him. I make a hasty retreat from Trefus and run through the air to get away. The clouds erupt with lightning, which hurts a lot, but I get clear of the castle and once clear we manage to escape with amulet, with Trefus appearing to be none the wiser. We rendezvous with the ship and Lirdrium in a remarkable city built on a bridge across a vast chasm over a maelstrom of water below. We then return home to Alusia after thanking Captain Sandokan for his assistance.

Following some investigation with Gadget, I determine that I can shape this into weapons, there is enough to make one for every party member.

After short discussion we backtracked his path into the hills and found an almost invisible rift that was a portal to ~~â€˜Tuman~~'. Strange and mysterious portals are one of my favorite things to experiment with and so we proceed though!

	We find ourselves in the alley of a city and so we have a look around and everything in the city, including the people, are ghostly and we think we are out of phase with the plane. We wander and locate a prominent building that may be a large mechanical workshop and appears to contain a large vault. The area before the vault is filled with concerned people who we assume have been recently burgled by out mysterious friend. We experiment and with some effort we are able to slightly move objects, but little else can be done.

	Following some discussions Dalran displays some amazing magical prowess and allows us to become ghosts (or makes the ghosts solid, I wasn't sure) through his use of temporal magic and we have a chat to the somewhat surprised locals. After some confused talking with the guy in charge (who speaks an archaic common) it is revealed that as the War of Tears began (some 31,000 years ago) they wanted to avoid all the death and bloodshed about to start and so they cast a powerful ritual to phase shift their city out of time. Two inhabitants, Trefus and Lirdrium, stayed behind and wore powerful amulets that would keep them alive; once the amulets were joined the city would then return. This clearly hasn't happened! We agree to see what we can do to find these people and ~~â€˜rescue~~' this lost city. It turns out that they've being living the same day over and over again, for thousands of years.

	We high tail it out of the city and discuss what to do. Dalran, the all knowing, recommends a tour of the prominent libraries and we start by flying to Brandenburg. Dalran can fly himself by changing into an angel. When I grow up I want to be like Dalran! We discover that the chief librarian in Brandenburg is a Weasel, but big like Gadget! Vapour is pretty upset about the hair, as the girls don't appreciate his new hairy look!		We high tail it out of the city and discuss what to do.

	Gadget negotiates a midday departure for our intrepid party and we depart Alusia on [[Lord Azzur]]'s plane travelling ship, ~~â€˜~~[[Calder Navy\|The Face of Chaos]]'. [[Captain Sandokan]] takes us into mists, and we find that it is now nighttime and we're now on the plane of [[Legend]]. Dalran managed to locate the item and [[Lurdrium\|Lirdrium]] explained that Trefus will be aware of him if he goes close to Trefus and things will become heated, so we decide to head in ourselves.

	[[Lurdrium\|Lirdrium]] tells us that Trefus resides in an enormous castle on a mountaintop, surrounded by clouds shooting lightning and has a number of powerful Ice Demons in residence along with assorted other beings we should try not to encounter. [[Lurdrium\|Lirdrium]] casts a spell that allows us to walk on the air (if we chose to) as we leave the ship and we make our way to the Castle. Closer to the castle we spot Trefus (via Dalran's Crystal of Vision) through an open window in his study. I bravely volunteered to sneak in and steal the amulet - naturally, Prudence swoons and Vapour congratulates me on my bravery. Dalran, as always, advises me that we will be here to help if I get into trouble but I assure him that with my skills and expertise (trouble is my middle name) I will be fine.
