Employer

House Tintagel

Mission

Tintagel is besieged, but it's a losing campaign, with the Chaosites aiming to attrite the forces of Ungoliant, Chthon and Hell itself to expend as many resources as possible as they evacuate. Rangers are in demand.

It seems likely that you will be tasked with entering Hell to convert the ownership of The Klepsydra and Ius. Foras holds the Klepsydra, at least he did. You would have to find out which devil bought Ius at the auction in the City of Brass.

Talking, Trading and Travelling

Meet up at the guild, briefing, astrology, buffing.

W'ansday 2nd Frost

Fly up to Caulder to visit (Serifan) the Lord of Patterns, a nice Tudor town-house, his impeccable servants are Athlings, he is thinner, dressed in a 3-piece green suit with a gold chain. We share news and seek advice:

• he advises us the simplest way to enter hell is through the Annis gate near the ruins of Dioscura, devils are travelling through there both ways on a regular basis. He gives us directions from there to Murmur's realm. Eric and Grendel know the road from the City of Seven Walls to Foras' realm.
• We could talk to Suneth and Jade Rain who will be at or near Kerberoth.
• Mebh should speak to Aquilon, Mistress of Winds who should be near Kerberoth, marshalling demons.
• Mordrin should speak to David, Lord Artificer about clocks. (Murmur is a Mechanician and his fallen thrones are clockwork).
• Nikola should speak to Beorn, Lord of Beasts who is in the jungle in the land of Nod (perilously close to the enemy). It would be beneficial for Aryan too but he may want to borrow Nikola's coin.
• he tells us of where the free sending The King of Fire and his steeds may be found in Westover. (EM 525 Multi-hex Dragonflames with 10 TMR)

Mebh and I walk his pattern, step through his Astral gate to know the location of it for the future. Then return and fly back to Seagate with the others.

Spend the night at Slippery Rock and acquire some restoratives.

Th'rsday 3rd Frost

Into the Astral via Kilroy's gate, to the Abyss, then to Kerberoth by secret means.

There we speak with Damien, Prince of Demons and Aquilon. Damien flirts with the girls until he finds out we have just talked with patterns then he is busy elsewhere. Aquilon gives Mebh a staff of storms then Aquilon and I go flying together for the afternoon/evening.

Frysday 4th - 9th Frost

We acquire some potions, stones and phylacteries. Then head back to Alusia and Seagate to get the Phylacteries charged with spells.

Th'rsday 10th Frost

Buffed and into the Astral to the Abyss, we decide to visit the Lord Artificer first but the abyss is dangerous, unlight webs alert Ungoliant's brood to travellers and they're very hard to spot. So we skip it, Grendel wormholes us to the cliff near New Terra, we sup, climb and head through the Astral to David's gate.

Frysday 11th Frost

Mordrin is presented with a clock that will help her understand clockwork mechanics. Eric is gifted with some experimental devices in return for his notes on their effectiveness, his enthusiasm inspires others to dabble too.

Inn, Sin and Nod

Reasday 12th Frost

Back through the astral to the Abyss then wormhole to Kerberoth and engage in some discussion and trade with Theophrastus.

Sunday 13th Frost

Head through to Jiroth in the afternoon, recover from travel in the pub. While I'm making friends in private, the baggage of an unremarkable traveller in the bar catches the attention of the rest of the party. A period of masterful spycraft, seduction, and acquisition later, we find out he is a courier (under unremarkable appearance) working for a merchant house linked to a willing merchant prince and commissioned to deliver the box to a factor in Jesurea. Deciding that if a Devil wants it delivered then we don't, the contents (a large belt of demon stones) is liberated.

Later that night than originally intended, we leave town and call a cloud to head north to Nod.

Moonday 14th - W'nsday 16th Frost

Cloud flying NNE, then trying to veer east around Mt Seir but it seems we cut it too fine and our recent sins (fornicators, thieves and accomplices) keep us from departing. Not willing to make use of the convenient and willing sacrificial goats, Mebh summons a celestial steed which we eventually manage to chat to, he offers us quests to clear our sin which two accept but most of us prefer to go with a good whipping instead.

• Mebh - Give the Gift of Honesty to the Duke of Thrones
• Nikola - Give the Gift of Sacrifice to the Lord of Similarities
• Aryan - Give the Gift of Chastity to your one true Love 10 EN
• Mordrin - Give the Gift of Chastity to your one true Love 10 EN
• Grendel - Give the Gift of Honesty to the Duke of Thrones 12 EN
• Eric - Give the Gift of Honesty to the Duke of Thrones 18 EN

Once cleansed of Sin, we proceed to the jungle of the Land of Nod and land in a clearing caused by recent tree-fall.

Th'rsday 17th - Reapsday 19th Frost

We wander the jungle searching for the Lord of Beasts, and slowly healing from flagellation. After a couple of days we catch his scent, his attention, and then he finds us. Nikola and I acquire new forms to aid us in Hell, she loses a finger and gains better control of her were-form. Beorn then heads off to visit a nearby lover, I offer him Jam for energy.

Terrible Duke

Sunday 20th - Duesday 22nd Frost

We rest in the jungle, recovering from our Sin Purging, on the third day there is a disturbance in the jungle, a snapping and breaking of trees. We come to full alert and prepare for battle.

We know something large is coming, Grendel picks up a mind near the large thing, there is a sense of evil. Summoned hell hounds come first, coursing ahead to flush out prey. We meet them with a volley of enchanted arrows, vortex winds and telekinetic rage. Another wave falls to a similar fate, Grendel catches the controlling mind in evil ensorcelment that leaves it stunned, the large creature reveals itself as a huge dragon as it wheels to fly its master to safety. I leap after it to cut the demon loose to fall to the angelic swords of my companions, the Dragon twists turns and plummets to thwart and destroy me, we crash to the ground together and engage in titanic struggle involving lots of my blood and a few shiny patches on his scales. The rest of the party arrives and joins the battle; the Dragon tries to swallow Mordrin but finds she is a spiky Dwarf; Nikola works at a loose scale to create an opening in its armour, Eric pounds his blade into the opening, Mebh delivers the final blow to render it unconscious. Then we split our attention, pounding on both The Terrible Duke and his Draconic Steed to keep then insensate until the Demonic Avatar is vanquished and Mordrin extracts the heart of the Dragon to grant it a final death. Mordrin earns a doom with her work, she is Flammable (38 MA).

The Heretic

W'nsday 23rd - Reapsday 26th Frost

Grendel uses a new ability and devours some of the dragon heart and it works too well, he is partially corrupted by the evil of the Dragon.

Devouring Rule 1: You are what you eat.

We leave the forest and cloud fly west hoping to bypass Mt Seir, but Grendel's fresh sin is too attractive and we are drawn in. Landing we can see how the ley lines curve in towards the mountain and I trace a path away but we lose Grendel to day dreams of evil and corruption. Back tracking, Mebh douses him in Holy Water then we try dragging him out again without success. Discussing and coming up with a cunning plan, Grendel turns himself to stone, Mebh binds him and reshapes him into a wheel which we roll along until we're clear of the mountain's effects. We're at the edge of a north-south valley, rough broken ground, very hard to traverse and signs that chaos winds come through here regularly. We decide to fly over, the cloud is slow arriving and whispy or shredded when it arrives but it does carry us over the valley. Below we can see giants moving in the valley - Nephilim. Beyond the valley we can see Sura in the mountains to the north, Mebh calls another cloud and we head south parallel to the road. Part way through our journey we pass the twisted spires (which we're not discussing) and Mebh scents a friend (the implications of which we're also not discussing and some us are trying to forget!). We land discretely north of Jiroth and walk in, from there we quickly travel to Kerberoth.

Sunday 27th Frost - Reapsday 3rd Snow

Mebh is keen to talk to allies in Edwardia, Grendel wormholes us over the abyss but we are intercepted part way by The Mistress of the Abyss. Fortunately she is happy to see me again, she stopped us because of the trail of corruption that Grendel is trailing. We talk, she lets us proceed but we decide to divert to Pacifica for Grendel to seek forgiveness from his goddess. None of our allies with astral gates will thank us for leading Grendel and his corrupted footprints through their house so we exit the astral in another way then fly east over the Sea of Grass to the portals and then through to pacifica. On arrival in the Goddess' realm the sea roils and recoils from Grendel, we make our way to the surface then fly to the temple. There we stand back while Grendel makes his penitent approach, the locals come out to revile and beat him which he accepts before he pleads with Iti-manuka. Mebh and I party with the locals while we wait, Grendel eventually emerges but is not welcome to stay until he has atoned. We head back to the portal, then wormhole to Seagate.

Sunday 4th - W'ansday 7th Snow

Back to the abyss and wormhole to Edwardia without interruption this time and to the house of the Lord of Gardens (Arken Barker). Mebh talks with him and asks his advice, he suggests we should break the Lord of Iron's railway to hell to stop the supply of weapons. The house is on Sparlainth, about 3,000 miles from the City of Roses. The railways runs from his house to the Hellgate within the mountains, Iron Dragons shaped as trains move his shipments along the rails. The Lord of Iron is probably not there, most likely in Hell making more sales.

Th'rsday 8th - Resapsday 10th Snow

The Lord opens a hedge maze to transport us to the City of Roses, our exit from Sparlainth is via the Mistress of Weavers house in the City. In the city we acquire some Rose Wine and Brandy and spend a couple of days talking to allies and shopping.
