I don't think you still are... I think javierpwn took your spot.

[javierpwn]

I don't mind, let him take it if he pleases

[hachnslay]

Humaan, you are in because i was working on the second post in the thread first and regularly checked the thread for Name and Title. had i not refreshed it would have been javier. Everyone, please tell me if you are not available for more than a week.
Story progression soon. Feel free to plan and strategize.

[Gamerlord]

Strategise with what?

[scapheap]

Strategise with what?

Our minds  .

[a1s]

Strategise with what?

The same think we strategize on every week (from now on)- how to take over the world. 

[hachnslay]

((i am working on it from work. my notices are home. Small details might change. - remember, second post of the thread holds your character info.))
As your group drifts closer to the village you make out a large stone building with a circular courtyard inside.
You land inside the courtyard and the bubble around you bursts. Thin wisps of fog are absorbed into the runes around you. Various crystals next to the runes start to glow. You hear voices coming from  a nearby door.
"I told you, i don't know why the soul net has failed. Stuff like this shouldn't be happening."
"It happened almost like last month, when that spined girl went through"
"Don't remind me of that. It still hurts."
"Maybe we should get some guards if it is another soul that somehow touched one of the books."
The voices are now almost behind the door
"Give me the key, will you?"
"What? I thought you had the key!"
"You can't be that stu ... RACHEL, BRING US THE KEY, WILL YOU?"
From afar you hear:"I will go nowhere near to that blasted door! get the key yourself"
"I'll bring it over, mom!"
"NO! you will stay here!"
After some time you hear one of them return with what seems to be a whole ring of keys.
"Where was i ... oh yes. We can be certain it wasn't a soul - a soul would be unable to hurt or even touch us."
"That would only leave a just as unlikely option, and you know that."
"But it had to be someone from beyond the oblivion belt. There is no other way!"
"Yes, there is! Your spell failed and the net didn't turn the souls into spirit energy."
"As long as the items of power powering the net are untouched it will work. Which bloody key is it?"
"I think it is on the third ring."
"Why didn't you say that sooner?"
With a sound of screaming metal the door finally opens.
There are 2 old men looking at your group.
They have a slightly bewildered look on their faces and one of them stutters a single-
"F- Five..."

[Gamerlord]

You need to give us more than that. Maybe a description of the area? As it is I have no idea what is going on.

[scapheap]

Adam does a quick head count "Yes five. Is that importure? More on track, where are we?"

[Chink]

"Who are you?" Schmield asks the old men, while forging himself a sword out of metal he summons from the ground, using magic.

[hachnslay]

from now on i will color the chat of others - makes it easier to follow conversations. Chat from your spells will have your color as a glow. Only the players can hear it. Edit: also switching the white spell to a yellow glow.

"Important? yes, really important and really bad for me!  ... Where should i start ..."
"How about you tell them about where they came from?"
Towards you he says "He thinks you are ghosts."
"Nonsense! you can tell they are alive!"
"But you just said..."
"Where was I ... Oh right. You came from literally the top of the world. or rather the Plane. It is one of many planes, quite extensive compared to some of the demiplanes .... but that doesn't matter. We were using the tomes of  ... what were they called again ... crat ... cret ... something with io at the end "creatio" ... eh, they are really powerful books. With living spells inside. And spells, as you know..."
"If you reach out any further in your explanation we will be here tomorrow."
"How many times did i tell you not to interupt me? Anyway! The books each contained a powerful spell. A living spell with a mind of it's own. They are above most other spells and actually contain most other spells in some way. Ah, this vocabulary is really hard to use.... The spells will grow in your mind. To grow they need memories - or rather the essence of memories, experience. Experiencing something aligned to the spell is the easiest way to unlock new demi-spells... And with demi-spells i mean all the spells that are not the spells in your head. Other ways are - "
"Get to the point..."
"Yes, yes ... The spells are now inside your head. We were using them to trap souls to enchant items with. Without them we have no income. So, we ask you to look for an alternative source of income for us."
"Was that so hard?"
"But i left out so many details! They don't even know what items i want them to find in compensation!"
"Just how far did you plan this?"
"Well, after the green spell got taken by that self-styled 'Summoner of endless thorns'-"
"Gah, don't remind me of her! the stab wounds still hurt!"
"Whatever! I made some contingency plans  - -some of them involved scrying for items that would turn in some constant profit. 3 items exactly - the first one is an item called 'energy matter converter and replicator' it lies somewhere under the 'crater of lost technology'. it turns anything into energy and energy into anything else. Say like water into energy and energy into diamonds. The second item is the mirror of the quicksilver lake. It looks like a normal mirror, but is actually a portable portal to the demi-plane of quicksilver. And quicksilver can be hardened, basically giving a near infinite supply of material. It lies somewhere in the abandoned Tower of Insanities - a nasty place, where people built a Tower to connect to the top of the world. The last item is the Horn of plentiful food. It is literally filled with infinite amounts of food. It lies in the ancient forest a day's travel rimwards. Now for the second part of the question-"
*groans* "You are in the village of Pyrecast, i am master enchanter Darian Grey and the longbreathed one is grandmaster enchanter Archibald Vermillon. There, all done!"
" ... Well ... since that is taken care of let me introduce you to my granddaughter. Follow me!"I want to punch him ...""No, you wont!"
Schmied, eager to try out his new found powers tries to draw a huge amount of ore from the ground, only to find out that casting magic in this courtyard seems to be incredibly consuming. In addition the spell requires a target. He spots a raven. All that remains of the raven are a few black feathers. There is now a two foot wide and four foot high  spike of various metals in the courtyard. Schmied is now slightly tired.
"Was a bit harder than it should have been, huh? I protected this house against combat magic."
"Just how many contingency plans did you make?"
"Twelve"
"... i don't even have a comment for that."
...
(Unless you want to do something different you will actually be following him. I am not yet done writing that part yet, though.)

[Gamerlord]

Use agony warp on the green voiced guy.

Awesome.

[scapheap]

Wait for this guy to move.

[a1s]

"This enchanter character is a just like picture of a guy I used to know. Can't quite remember his name though..."

[Chink]

"It's just protected against combat spells, right?"

If the protection only covers combat spells, cast Forge Regalia on the metal spire to make my self a suitable suit of armor. If the protection covers more than combat spells, meditate to recover mana.
