Gleaming the Cube....(Or, the big payback)

January 10th, 2009

Game time: 12/27/1308

We gather up magical and cash booty and some non-magical special items, and run out of there as fast as we can. On the way, we heal up Moonface. Without incident, we make it back to the prison. Using gloves of knocking, we make it to the hallway. We gather up bones from two identifiable members of the Wild Youth Expedition party members. Half of the party rests and sleeps and we are attacked by giant rats! One bites Shardenzar, misses, Ethan hits one. Rabbo yells to wake up the party and hits one rat. More rats come in and Moonface is bitten. Rabbo kills one, Shardenzar misses, the dog blinks, Topaz hits with a critical and kills one. Ivy hits and kills one. Rabbo kills another rat. Moonface kills one. Ivy hits another. Eyar kills the last one. We rest the other half of the party. We travel through the rat holes and get to the kitchen. We see a maid, but then the illusion fades. In the laundry room, another maid is seen and then fades in disbelief. In the hallway, the illusory guard fades. We go into a parlor and Rabbo sees a robe on a chair. Ivy and Ethan detect magic, and detect strong magic in the creation sphere in the school of alteration. Ethan tries it on, and we see it is a patchwork robe, with 24 patches. In the next room, there is a faint glow of magic from the nightstand. Ethan casts the spell again, and this time, he loses the spell, and all shut doors and drawers open. We find a piece of chalk radiating moderate magic.

Enough time has passed for Rabbo to regain his 5 God questions. Here they are: 1. Exactly where are the remains of the wild youth expedition that we have not yet found? In the stable. 2. How many charges are left in the gloves of knocking? 4 more this week. 3. Does the party currently carry any cursed items? Yes. 4. Which items in whose possession? Rainbow swirly potion. 5. Is our magical mail being received by the school? Yes.

Shardenzar asks if we could try to locate the remains of the Wild Youth Expedition. We know two last remains are in the prison and in the stable. We decide to get a piece of each of their remains. First we go to the prison and recover Motoon. In his cell are several animated skeletons. Ethan uses knock gloves to open a secret door. “Knock” open the prison door. Shardenzar kills 1, Ivy turns 6, Eyar kills 1, Topaz kills 3, Ethan fires 4 magic missile spells in the melee and kills 5, Rabbo kills 4, and Ivy kills 4. We gather up the bones of Motoon. Then, we make it over to the stables and begin to search. Ethan uses detect magic. Topaz flies and looks around and sees several other stalls. In one stall, we find a Pegasus, on a hunger strike, nearly dead. We try to talk to it, to calm it, but it won’t believe us. It does believe the lawful good Ethan. Ethan gets it food and water. Now, we use the robe of Useful Items and one of its empty patches to get the Pegasus and its food. It is translated into the robe. We find a skeleton in the back of a stall. Most of the equipment is rusty and falling apart, but there is a shiny ring. Ivy puts it on. Ivy is now wearing two of the rings we found. We exit the courtyard and use a knock spell to open the main gates. We leave through the gates, and as we do, there is a huge rumble, and the castle starts to collapse. Rabbo yells, “Run!” and we all start running back to our exit/entry point. Rabbo uses psionics to avoid a negative probability of falling through the clouds on several party members. We make it back approximately to our exit/entry point, and Ethan gets out the magic ink and paper, and we quickly write a note----we need the gate open NOW!!!---and address it to the Flamehand at the Invisible School. Rabbo has just enough points left to influence one more probability and helps Eyar and Ethan, but can not influence his own luck and Rabbo begins to fall through the clouds. As Rabbo falls, the Well of Many Worlds opens up at his feet, and as he falls past, he shouts, “I found the gate!” Eyar dives for the gate and is able to grab Rabbo. Everyone makes it through. After which, among the players, there were general hoots and hell yeahs all around!

1/13/1309

Ethan completes his penance to Ivy which corresponds to the New Year’s Holiday. Here is an update on our other projects:

Road Project: The Huts are happy to work on roads, willing to allow a tax to help build roads

Alexander to Immer: On foot, approximately 25 days, not back yet

Peter to Muetar: On foot, with guns, diplomatic mission, not back yet.

Adam Kelly: Horses and guns to Shuccasm, not back yet.

The school is working on road spells; potions is working on xtra xtra healing potions; they are working on rings of regeneration; and are also working on lore and history.

Ethan is working carefully to tend to and heal up Gus the Pegasus. The Dean of the school and the party is ready to try the potion mixing and red cube fixing.

We begin the preparation. The DM gave us this story to describe what happens next:

-----------------------------
The cube fell to the bottom of the beaker with a splashy thunk… and sat there.
“Now what?” asked Rabbo.
“Now we wait,” said the dean of potions. He placed a large cork in the top of the beaker, draped the whole thing in a blue silk cloth and placed it on a high shelf.
“What do you mean ‘We wait’?”
The other members of the party looked around puzzled.
“I mean we wait.” The dean went to his desk and began putting personal items into a small chest. “We have to wait for the reaction to finish reacting with the magic of the cube before anything else will happen.”
“How long will that take?” asked Ethan Arch.
“Oh,” said the dean looking up. “Eternity.”
“What!” shouted Rabbo.
“Look,” The dean closed his chest, locked it and placed it under his arm. “We have to wait for the cube to go to eternity before the permanent oil of time travel brings the contents back. Until then there really isn’t anything we can do.”
“But you said it would open the cube NOW!”
“Now doesn’t really exist right now.” The dean went over to a coat rack and removed a robe and pointy hat. “We are living in a false reality. When the cube reaches eternity and comes back… all of this,” The dean waved his hand. “...will be redone in a new time line. Until then, we wait.”
“Are you going somewhere?” asked Ivy.
“Well,” said the dean putting on his hat. “Most of the school is already gone. Some went into permanent stasis, some killed them selves, and most are just leaving. Me, I want to spend a few decades on a beach somewhere living as a hermit. When else am I going to get the chance? To hell with this world; dedication to the craft be damned!” A huge smile crossed the dean’s face as he shook his fist mockingly.
“Now wait just a god damned min…” Rabbo fumed. With a wave of his hand and a few uttered syllables, the dean vanished in a puff of smoke.

Ivy Boargo emerged from the smoke. Sweat, condensation and blood held her hair flat against her head. She hurried down the tunnel and dropped her pack against cave wall next to the cell door. Grabbing the bars in the little window she pulled herself up to look in.
“Is she there?” yelled a voice from the smoky tunnel. The sound of battle rang loudly. The look on Ivy’s face grew sad and depressed. She lowered herself down.
“Is she IN THERE?” screamed another voice. Ivy took a deep breath and rested her head against the wooden door.
“Is she in there?” said Eyar sternly as she now came running down the smoky tunnel. Ivy shook her head slowly.
“We’re too late,” she said to the Amazon. “She’s dead.”
“What?” Eyar looked though the little window at the cell inside. She too was moved by what she saw. Shoving the halfling aside the woman grabbed the bars on the door, braced her foot against the cave wall and heaved. Wood creaked loudly and the entire door exploded from its hinges. Eyar rushed in and Ivy stood in the doorway as the Amazon crouched beside the dried husk body dressed in the lightest of silks, stained with mud, blood and bile and chained to the wall in an unforgiving way. The wand was still clutched in her dead, desiccated hand. Eyar reached out to take it. As her fingers touched the wand, it turned to dust.

As the dust fell, Ethan Arch cheered. Then the branches fell, then the leaves.
“Don’t give away our position,” snapped Rabbo. The fighter hurried to inspect the bodies and see that they were all dead.
“I can’t help it,” said the young wizard. “I love these scrolls.”
“Yeah, well you wouldn’t love them so much if I wasn’t here to help you luck out when reading them.” Rabbo was satisfied and motioned for the girls and MU to continue moving. “Buy the way, until I get a chance to rest I’m low on mind power and won’t be able to help you out all that much so don’t use any more scrolls, all right?” Suddenly several Drow archers leap out and begin firing at the party. Ethan cheered again and began casting his magic missile spell over and over again. With each casting the ring on his finger flashed a bright red. The Drow began running and the young wizard cast his spell one more time. Suddenly a large cloudy vortex opened just in front of the young man. A huge set of claws reached out and grabbed Ethan by the face. Rabbo ran to attack the claws. A pit fiend devil emerges and with one swipe ripped Rabbo’s arm from it socket.
“Not again!” the warrior screamed. The pit fiend retreated to the vortex taking Ethan with him. The vortex disappeared as the girls reached Rabbo and began to bind his wounds. “They’re gone,” he said. “They’re gone.”

“What do you mean they’re all gone?” asked Rabbo. He walked back and forth across the meeting room rubbing his bandaged stump.
“That’s just it,” said Eyar. “The entire school is gone! The buildings are there but they are totally empty. The only thing we could find was this.” Ivy brought out a large beaker wrapped in a blue silk cloth.
“Great. How the hell is THAT supposed to help us? How am I going to get my arm back without the schools help?”

“I’ll do what I can Rabbo, but you have to sit still.” Ivy looked over the contraption and undid the buckles. Rabbo half flung the prosthetic into the sand.
“Remind me to punch both the engineer and the blacksmith when we get home,”
“I have one more healing left if you need it.”
“Save it for now, unless you need it Eyar.” The Amazon sat down hard on the sand dune across from the others.
“I don’t think you should touch me,” she said panting. As with all of them, her body ran wet with sweat and her skin was beginning to turn pink. “I found some goo on the back of my arm. I think one of those bastards infected me.”
“The ointment we found at the Hippogriff ruin should take care of that. I have a jar in my pack.” As the halfling cleric rose to retrieve her things, a column of fire descended from the heavens above. Before her friends could react, three more descended.

“Three! Three? Are you sure?” asked Adam Kelly.
“Yes. The Drow, the kobolds and the leapers all have their gods working on this plane and we’ve gotten our butts kicked by all of them so far.”
“Well I hate to add bad new when you both are trying to heal up and all, but we just got a message in from Immer.”
“Both? Only one of us is healing now major.”
“That bad?”
“The healers are doing what they can, but without a cleric or some magic healing…”
“There is the tree of life, sir.”
“We tried it. It slows the rot, but won’t stop it. Not as long as that god is in this plane. What’s the word from Immer?”
“Undead, sir. Attacking out of the pass from Zorn.”
“Undead? What kind?”

Skeletons fell by the dozens. Rabbo swung his weapon in long arcs and bones went flying. Soon the skeleton worriers worked their way to the front, but when they did hit, or he fumbled his weapon, Rabbo uses his mind powers to lessen the severity of the situation. Still, he kept just enough in reserve to dimension walk his way out when he needed. And now was just about the time he needed. He turned to walk and was confronted by a spider of gigantic proportions. It was a hideous beast of such ugliness and evil that no words can do it justice. With a gleam in its eyes, combat was initiated and concluded in less than a second. Rabbo fell to his knees, bleeding from his eyes and ears, a look of utter stupefaction on his face. The spider ignored the undead attacking her and raised the warrior to her face. For is instant her head assumed a human form and smiled. Then the fangs plunged into Rabbo’s chest and neck and the blood began to flow.

This time the bandages could not stop the blood. Eyar ignored it. She stood, looking out the mirror as the barrier was breached and the Invisible school was charged. She saw it begin to burn. Then with her arm that looked more like a bleeding, puss filled mummy, she reached out and touched the crystal the disconnected the mirrors. Now she knew it was over. Now she knew it was done. Now she knew Rabbo would not be coming back. Now she knew she could fight no longer. She lowered her arm and fell.

She fell onto a patch of lava rock and balanced on the brink. The sounds of the efreetii screaming were only barely drowned out by the sound of bone digging through the stone and crystal. The ground shook again from another blast, but Eyar’s stone ears could not hear it. She tottered on the brink one last time before sliding off the edge and falling into the molten rock. The stony image of Eyar floated on the surface for a few seconds, and then began to sink.

Everything began to sink. Into the darkness it went. Smaller and smaller it became. When the aperture was small enough, the Black Hand reached out and placed the golden cap over the celestial gate. With his black index finger he pushed the gold chain that hung there, causing it to wobble. He smiled.

Smiled as they fell before him. The last vestige of resistance. Zealots of a diseased god. A god now stripped of power. A shell. A nothing. Despite all they had they fell. You cannot infect the dead. They fell and when they fell they rose. They rose for him.

They rose and stood around the altar, each holding their elemental gift. The day had come and everything was falling into place. One by one, the liches placed their gifts upon the altar. As each gift arrived, the greystaff grew in power. When all four had placed their gifts, they backed away, leaving only him at the altar. Then he produced his gift. He placed the baby on the altar and greystaff’s power grew to levels unheard of in this place. He recited the arcane words. He made the grandiose gestures. He produced the hoof of Orcus. With it he ended his offering’s life. As the blood spilled upon the altar, a pillar of pure energy so strong as to take on life itself erupted from the altar. It split through the plane and into all known realities. It transcended the ethereal, inner and astral and made straight for the heart of the outer planes. There, due to its placement in the grand scheme of things, it began to create. He extended his black hand and reached into the pillar of energy.
“I WILL HAVE WHAT IS MINE!”
With a power immeasurable, he ripped a cord of energy from the pillar and threw is to the ground. It moved like a dying snake with its head cut off and slowly came to a halt. The repercussions were felt all along the pillar. That which was being created bent to the will of the designer.
“IT WILL BE AS I SAY!”
He reached in and again ripped out another cord of pure energy. It too writhed on the ground as the first began to putrefy. Again the vibrations were felt in all planes along the pillar to the point of creation.
“ALL SHALL BOW UNTO ME!”
Again he reached into the great pillar, but this time he pulled the cord out of the flow and snapped its end. Held fast as the death spasms heaved through the pillar. The violent movement slowed and at last a shimmer could be seen in the broken cord. He pulled slack from the pillar and sat the end of the cord on the ground. Through the cord all could see the new plane being created to his will. A new plane of power; a new plane of death; it would be a new plane that would oversee and dominate all others. Not an inner plane, nor an outer plane, but an over plane. He removed a ring from his finger and placed it in the hoof of Orcas. He tossed the hoof into the fetid mass of dead energy cords. He began laughing and stepped through the end of the cord. The undead followed. When all was gone, the pillar vanished. The other plane was created. This one was now set adrift. Free.

Free to watch this place rot. Life could no longer thrive here. Death no longer had any meaning here. Magic barely even worked here. This was a null place and Orcas sat atop the mountains, flexing his wings, and watching everything go. In time he too would go. But that would be a very long time.

A very long time it is. A very long time it was. Very little is left but time; time and this useless space. Space that is tied to nothing, bound to nothing, meaning nothing, and containing almost nothing. A fleck of gemstone here, a mote of metal there, are all floating through the void. Alone, except for a small red cube. In time, it will be the only thing here. But the will be a very long time.

A very long time it is. A very long time it was. But the cube continued to float.
POOF!

---------------------------

Then the red field around the cube fades, and there is a recognizable pop, and briefly we see the undead Felix top hat, red eyes, finger poised next to the cube, and then, there was the familiar “pop” out, and a hole in space where Felix stood, with the cube on the ground.

We try to access the hole to pop out, but can’t. Finally, Rabbo remembers to command pop out to give him the portable hole and a black cloth appears and the hole in space collapses. We take the portable hole and cube to the courtyard. Rabbo makes a sacrifice to Bes. We meet Flamehand.

We open the portable hole and find: 229 gp; 500 platinum; 20 clips for the M-22; 2 daggers; a shortsword; 3 gold discs; a wooden stake with a burned hole in the end, with the word Pandora written on it; 53 pieces of gems and jewelry; 3 healing draughts; a sling and 20 bullets; 1 throwing star; 5 applications of Keoughtom’s ointment; a letter from the King of Immer.

Rabbo asks the school to work on an endless clip for the M-22. Eyar takes the Keoughtom’s ointment; Rabbo takes the portable hole, vampire stake, and 3 healing draughts. We open the fortress side of the cube, and a big, run down, falling apart tower is in front of us.

Rabbo asks his next god questions. 1. Where is my other throwing star? In pop out. 2. In what place exactly, in the mires are the crystals, cube and green box? The neo-Otyugh muckpile, the guardpost, and the dark queen’s work shop. 3. Which is in which place? Same order. 4. What is the physical distance between the cube, green box, and crystals? 350 feet and 350 feet. 5. Is the Fairie Queen still alive? Yes, barely.

We had a sobering moment. It looked like we wouldn’t be able to access anything more out of pop out, because Felix’s old cube did not have a fortress with access to pop out in it. We were pissed off, but in the end, decided to make do with what we had. We set up some pre-planning that we really needed to do all along. For example, we need to plan on having the M-U’s have these spells ready for us---Locate Object, Protection From Evil, Continual Light, Invisibility, Improved Invisibility, on a scroll, several times, Stoneskin, Alternate Reality, Teleport and/or teleport without error, Far Reaching. Our cleric(s) should have: Bless, Command, Protection From Evil, Random Causality, Probability Control, Sanctuary, Chant, Charm Person, Hold Person, Silence, Dispel magic, Locate Object, Summon Insects, Imbue with Spell Ability, and Word of Recall. Just so we can get multiple plusses and saves in battle. How many times had 1 single roll or 1 number made the difference?

We discuss several options for moving forward, including a small way magicked up party to infiltrate the Mires and get back the things we want: the Fairie Queen, the cube, the crystals, and the green box, and then Flamehand suggests that we use a wish on the scroll we found to redo a very small event---how we accessed pop-out. Flamehand is generally against wishes, but this is such a specific event, that he thinks using one might work. And, we happen to have one that can be used at no cost to the school.

We discussed what we might say to access pop-out better, and came up with this: “I wish Rabbo had accessed pop-out to retrieve all items in pop-out instead of just the portable hole.” Before the Dean of Scrolls said it, we cleaned out the Dean’s office, and left Rabbo and the Dean of Scrolls there. The wish was made. Now as it occurs, we don’t actually remember that we didn’t ask for the items from pop-out poorly. We remember asking for all items from pop-out, in a way like a computer code back door, meaning, that through the wish, Rabbo was given the proper access code to get everything out of pop-out, but doesn’t really remember what he said. In fact, nobody exactly remembers any of the reality in which we accessed pop-out poorly. We just remember that as we were getting ready to access pop-out, Rabbo blurted out this unusual string of words/symbols, and everything in pop out spewed out on the floor of the Dean’s office. Everything else we learned from questions, etc. all still happened exactly the way it had before.

This is the stuff that appears from the Felix-sized hole:

Portable Hole #1: 229 gp; 500 platinum; 20 clips for the M-22; 2 daggers; a shortsword; 3 gold discs; a wooden stake with a burned hole in the end, with the word Pandora written on it; 53 pieces of gems and jewelry; 3 healing draughts; a sling and 20 bullets; 1 throwing star; 5 applications of Keoughtom’s ointment; a letter from the King of Immer.

We did not pull out: the Anything Ring, the Anything Wand, the cloak of displacement, and the rope of entanglement. Portable hole #2 also included 35,080 gold; and a total outfit of mundane effects for a magic user. Lost in a cube somewhere are 3 hydrogen and 3 atomic energy cells; crystal papers; and a medic robot.

At this time, we had had enough, and called it a day.
