Scribe Notes
The Dreamer’s Stage
The party made their way into Guild meeting room 5 and we met with a strange sight, a softly glowing, large blue crystal was sitting in the middle of the table, beside the guild paperwork. One we had dispensed with the guild paperwork and introductions a guild scribe joined us and explained she, and all the other scribes had had the same dream for weeks, which pointed them to a location. A low level party were dispatched and they recovered the crystal that was sitting in the centre of the meeting room table. The dreams continued, disrupting the sleep of the scribes, the crystal was an invitation for a competition and they really needed to send someone through. Us.
We spent some time examining the crystal, not obtaining much information, before we turned matters to preparation, only to discover we could not leave the meeting room or communicate with anyone outside it. As we cast various magics to explore our situation we noticed there were tendrils growing from the crystals with each cast. Deciding the crystal was getting impatient almost everyone took a chair around the table and closed their eye, Sabastian decided to stand heroically and close his eye, regretting it as he slowly fell unconscious and fell to the ground.
The party found themselves seated on comfortable seats in box in an ornate theatre. Jaycey hung off the edge of the box staring the main circle at a strange variety of people sitting there, it was a mix of different species, dressed in wildly different outfits – they were clearly adventures too. Before we could speak to people the lights dimmer and the stage filled with purple smoke. All attention in the theatre focused on the stage as a figure dressed in black stepped out. <inset the image>
The figure explained he was the Oracle, and represented his master, the Dreamer, and we are at his showcase. There will be a series of tasks, large and small, in a dream scape. None of the people are real but think they are. If we died we will eventually be returned here. We may choose to work with, or against, the other adventurers.
We depart the box and find ourselves in a corridor, we are load to another mysterious figure, called the Weave, leads us to a room filled with ornate furniture that he explains is ours, no other adventure can enter. The room has a number of interesting features; has a c which fills with any food you think of – Sabastian seats himself by the cupboard and starts eating, and another small store room that apparently completely heals, and bestowing a Greate, on anyone that enters. The promise of rewards was not enough for some, Jaycey wanted to see the cold hard cash!
The Weave explained out room was now connected to a large meeting room where all the adventures could mingle. We quickly decided to make friends and work with the other parties, particularly we there were some tasks that required other parties. Heading out Lim was able to produce a variety or exceptionally alcohol, and Jaycey produced and amazing variety of food. Jaycey, Sabastian and Vixen mingle, talking to each group, offering they some tasty Hors d'oeuvre,a nd making some allies. It’s a wild variety of people with some very strange and powerful people. We talk about the Avatar level aura and some mind control on Jaycey when we make out way back into our room.
