[Poltifar]

If you can't beat them, join them

Turn 11:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As the Renegades approach the ruins, they see very tall buildings gleaming in the sunlight. They enter the ruined town, and quickly search random buildings. In their search attempts, the diviner casts a scanning spell to detect any nearby sentient beings.

Strangely, a being was detected, but its presence seemed to quickly dissapear. The Renegades decide to go towards the location were the presence was sensed. Unbenownst to them, they were being followed.

They arrive at a tall building from which bars of metal kept falling. Casting their array of invisibility spells, they approach and enter the building, climbing to its top. There, they find a creature cutting pieces of the metal floor into bars, and throwing them out of the building.

Before their spells to immobilize this creature fully form, the flows of magic seem to be ripped out of their control, and the unknown creature turns to them,  "Trying invisibility with fire ? Intersting, but I can sense you as I am an expert of that school myself, as well as being half-demon. You should lower it, it is useless to you now"

The Renegades drop their invisibility, and Poltifar steps forward non-menacingly. Just then, they notice the presence of three people behind them.

"Interesting. It has been a long time since we had met fellow mages. And quite competent ones too. It seems you are part of some sort of order, as I infer from your matching uniforms. So, might I ask, what is a group of mages like you doing throwing metal bars from 100 meter high buildings?"

"I'll let the one behind you do the talking, I've got work to do" he says, then gestures to a human mage wearing a blue robe.
Poltifar replies, "Hmmph, we are of that little importance then? Well I am not to be bothered with underlings"

"We need a good supply of these," says the mage. "And he and I are of equal rank, as these black stripes on our robes show. He is just bad with words". At that sentence the half-demon sticks his tongue out to the other mage.
"I guess you are explorers" continues the blue mage.
"Yes, explorers and refugees, and some might see it"
"And good mages as far as I can see. This guy spotted your spells from quite a way away. Shall we go talk somewhere else? I found some comfortable furniture the other day."

Poltifar follows the mage down into a nearby building were the Renegades are shown a large room with some recently moved furniture in it.

The blue mage sits down, his two "guards" stand near him, close to a wall. Poltifar also sits down, while the other Renegades just lean on walls and on the furniture casually.
The mage says, "As you have probably guessed we are explorers ourselves"
Poltifar replies, "Yes, but more organized explorers. I doubt normal explorers would be making metal bars out here"
"Steel is fairly hard to come by in our homeworld. Imagine our surprise when we found a city made of it. Best not to let it go to waste, right ?"

"But i do wonder how you got here. We have roamed this area previously, and have found no trace of your passage. Did you come by sea?"

"Indeed we came by sea. I am a hydromancer, as the blue color on my robe shows. Crossing water is not a problem for me"
"Hmm, so the guy above must have been a pyromancer. And your men are definitely trained warriors. You are definitely no mere adventuring party."
"As I said, we are explorers. Our goal is to study this world." The mage waves to food and drink that is placed on the table, inviting Poltifar to have some, which he does after a quick magical scan.
"Well, I rarelly hear that one. A group of explorers here to study  and not to loot? 'tis indeed a rare find."

"Tell me, what have you seen during your travels ?"
"We have been exploring ruins like you, but for the treasures in them. We also have made some rather... interesting contacts"
"Well, I fear you won't find much to loot here. And if you wish to get rid of some of your magical posessions, we would be willing to buy, later. But you said you made contact with other creatures here, tell me of them. Please"
"Oh, we have found many creatures. Some of which you see with me right now (looks at the Rachti) but I'm not sure why i should just divulge all our knowledge freely"
"Indeed, knowledge has a price, especially for us who value it very highly. What would a band of refugees need ? Some land where to settle perhaps ? The location of a good tavern, or a large city ?"
"We are not the kind to settle down. Since our earliest days, we have been nomadic, searching for new powers and magical treasures." One of the warriors adds, grinning "But a tavern is mighty nice from time to time"
Poltifar ignores the iterruption and continues, "Also, we dont just loot for the money. We actually study the items, and try to find ways of using them. I was hopping to ask to buy any items you had found here from you, but it seems there are no such items here."

"Well, there is a large city south, beyond the sea. The people living there are a bit strange, on the squiddy side. But they are very civilized. Their Emperor seems to be very wise, and welcoming to foreigners"
At the mention of "Emperor", Poltifar's gaze seems to harden, but he continues "We dont mind strange, as long as they do not meddle in our... affairs. But, sadly, we have no means to traverse the sea at the moment."
"If you have a hydromancer I could teach you how to cross water... for a price"
"That depends on the price."
"What can you offer ?"
"We can offer tons of gold, but i doubt that that would interest people such as youselves"
"A bit of gold would be interesting, but indeed it won't be enough as it is fairly common around here"
"We would have offered our services, if you hadn't been mages yourselves..."
"Indeed, I do not believe you have much to teach us in the way of magic that we couldn't learn ourselves in a thousand years of study"
Poltifar grins "The patient type, i see. I hope you have no ambition to rule this world, atleast not in a way to restrict magic"
"Restricting magic is not our goal. We wish to teach it freely to those who can learn, but we have some rules to obey, to make sure these powers are not used to 'cause the end of the world'" he chuckles a bit at the end of his sentence. At that moment, a new person enters the room. Poltifar turns to see the person. He wears robes, like the blue mage, he made no sound when he entered, but he doesn't seem to have done it on purpose. The robes are colored with light purple and black
"Another of your order? well whoever you are, greetings."
The person is humanoid, with pale skin and pale blue long hair and blood red eyes. He doesn't seem to have noticed or heard anything abnormal, he moves to a chair, sits down and makes a gesture with his fingers. One of the "guards" serves him a drink. He drinks like a well-mannered gentleman. Then he notices the presence of the other people, "Oh, we have guests I see. I gather they are the cause of the disturbance earlier. It is really annoying having to constantly bend the flow to make yourself unnoticed to that magic scanning power. I am Lithios"
Poltifar casually tells him, "Well i am terribly sorry if i have annoyed you with our scanning, Lithios. Pleased to meet you."
The blue mage notices he hasn't intrduced himself, "I forgot to introduce myself. I am Elestris Eth'Vindelar, one of the Lost"
Poltifar seems to ponder the last part of the introduction, then continues "I am Poltifar, sometimes called Chaoswielder, and these are my comrades."
"Don't tell me you were trying to pass yourself as human. You should stop doing that, no matter how hard your people try, you'll never be humans" snaps Lithios to Elestris.
They bicker for a while, then they stop and Elestris turns back to you, waiting for you to speak.
Poltifar blatantly states, "Well I wasnt expecting that to happen"

Elestris says, "What were we talking about when we were interrupted ?"
Poltifar continues, "About payment. It seems the only thing you would accept as payment would be magical artifacts. but we cannot currently part with any of the ones we hold"
"Perhaps you have some texts of historic value. These have the greatest worth to us"
"We might have. But we would prefer to make a copy of them, so as not to miss out on any of the usefulness they may contain."
"As you wish. We are quite happy if we get the originals, to ascertain their value."
"All this will have to wait, for we have a few more locations we would like to visit prior to making the deal, in case we find something more appropriate for the trade. How long will you be remaining here?"
"Until we melt this whole city down some of us will be staying here. I guess it should take a bit of time". He laughs melodiously.
"I see. Then we probably will have some time to return later. But just incase, is there any other location we might find you if you depart from here?"
"If you want to find us, cast a fairly huge spell and we should notice you from far away. If it's big enough some of us might come"
"Ha, I have no problem with that. So you take students. Then you must truly be part of a large organization, or atleast a well developped one. I am sure we shall cross paths in the future. Hopefully, you would not be on the wrong standings when we do. Do you wish to discuss any other subject? If not, then we will be on our way"
"Do not worry, the Tower, as a whole, prefers not to get involved in conflicts. Individual mages are a different problem. And indeed, if you have nothing to say, then I believe our conversation is unfortunately over."
Elestris winks suggestively to the shy but attractive diviner of the Renegades. She blushes.
Poltifar, uncaring of that emotional exchange, concludes, "Then I shall take my leave. And as a last thing, I thank you for teaching us a new trick. Bending the flows to dissimulate presence is interesting. Very much so. Good bye. MWAHAHAHA"

((i removed alot of stuff, and it is still a huge annoying wall of text...))

For the rest of the turn (the whole RP happened in about the second week) the Renegades start doing some more researching. Poltifar and some of the mages, including the builder mage and the air mage, begin on a new secret project, while the diviner, the rogue, and the explorer start working on achieving the same magical-masking that the mages they had met had achieved.

turn 12- beginning of summer

A feint wind from the north clears the sky of clouds, and gives enough sunshine to let the crops grow tall and rich.
The temperature is just abour rigth and invites children to spent the whole day playing outside.

Next turn: thursday 9pm gmt


MAJOR NOTICE: because of very good harvests, all races are granted an additional 3% civ growth for turn 12 and turn 13


minor notice: To put some life into this world, how about you start naming some rivers, lakes or mountains around you ? They have been pretty anonymous for now, but with growing nations everywhere, surely they would not keep calling them "the river in the east" for the whole time.

And they were off! The 3 boats pulling away from the dock, the Hrun cheering on the shore, waving the sailors goodbye and good luck. The task of the ships were to sail south for new lands and to set up a new settlement on a new continent if they could, mapping where they went all the way.

Erak sent 4 riders to Stukiodia for them to have extra wolves to breed. He wanted the wolves spread out in the settlements as much as possible.

The druid keeps making the potion for the ents. He's made quite a bit for them.

The negotiations continue with the small stone-men from the north. spoiler]

((Kashyyk, its your turn to say what happens in the negotiations by the way.))

[coelocanth]

Tel Yolanda

The ancient foundry was almost cleared, and the metal smiths now had a good understanding of the forge techniques they had learned. Soon they could start manufacturing using this equipment.
They would need wood, lots of wood.
The explorers returned to report the quarry site they had discovered in the hills.
The woodcutters would concentrate on the east, to clear a path to the river. Quarried ore could be transported downriver on barges.

Tel Theris

Five explorers returned, to report the location of the large lake.

River Melis, edge of the ashlands

A huge column of smoke could be seen to the southeast, and the land was scorched and covered in a film of grey ash. Across the ashlands, a lonely mountain.

Tel Kytos

Panning the river was producing a slow but steady supply of gold dust and nuggets. With this wealth, they could purchase extra food.

Nanyt has gathered all the magic user of the settlement, there is 50 all gathered outside Nanyts house, the Elders are sitting nearby watching.

"I have gathered you here today because I have a plan. But first we need the magics to build and sustain it. Now, I know you can all make ice strong and never melt, but still float, I need you to do it on the large scale, this may require more spells. I'll split you into 5 groups, with 10 in each. You will decide amongst yourselves what you will study. Here is the ice you are to work with."

With that another 50 men carried in 5 large pieces of ice, from the glacier, they were 10mx10mx5cm they required ten men each to carry.

"Good luck, but be careful."

With that Nanyt left with the Elders to manage the rest of the town.
-----------
"We need to build a barracks and armory, where we can store our weapons and armor. We will also send 20 settlers south to scout out the mountains and when they come to a suitable place, block off the access to the tundra. Well not block off but build it so that all coming into our Nation will be seen by the outpost. When they do set it up, they should send men back to alert us of their settling. Make it so!"

Nanyt told the elders, it was important to know all the dangers for our Nation, Covadai.

Aye sir!

Ton saw that the Giants were completely oblivious to what he had just said, and realised that they were probably trying to speak to him too.
He kicked the ground angry, sending a cloud of soil into the air.
That was it, he smiled.
Using the end of his knife, he started drawing on the ground. showing the Daroth travelling, finding the village, the giants coming out, their intent for peace and trade.
Smiling Ton handed the dagger, hilt first, to one of the Giants.

Dang, that list was long, and it won't be getting shorter either, so from now on I will only post about newly named rivers and regions, and add it to a list in the OOC tread.

Hrun/Daroth negotiations:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Seeing what the small man had done, Jorso took the offered dagger and returned it on one knee, hilt first, in a sign of acceptance.

A large sigh went out from the people gathered there, and after the dagger was taken from him, he stood and waved them to follow, calling;

"Ok, looks like they understand us. Lets get back to the settlement!"

They left immediately, the small men and women following closely behind, everyone looking curiously at each other.


Some hours later:

They had finally arrived at Svarlbard, Jorso waving at the sentries on top of the palisade to open the gate and be ready for them.

A minute later, the large gate swung open, 10 armed and armoured guards standing by. As the appoached, the guards stopped them from entering, showing that they wanted the weapons from the small men. Looking at each other, they reluctantly agreed, handing over all their weapons. Thus unarmed, they entered the encampment, looking around eagerly.

Proceeding through to the center of the encampment, where a largeish bonfire was burning, sat the local Misia.

"They can't understand us when we speak, so we found that it was ok to use drawings to communicate, sir."

"Relax Jorso, its obvious that they mean no harm, otherwise they would not have willingly surrendered their weapons."

Motioning them to sit, he drew a large version of what we would call a saxe knife and drew in the ground the following pictures;

The small men and half-giants talking and shaking hands in peace, trading of goods, aid in times of war.

Looking amoung each other, the small men talked amoungst themselves. It was the local misia's chief aim to make these strange and yet civilized creatures their allies. If they agreed, then he planned to ask them to stay for some food and drink for a couple of nights while 2 went to talk with Erak.

All of those present looked at the gates when they heard the sentry call and saw 4 wolf riders arrive. This startled the small men somewhat, some leaping to their feet and the misia had barely calmed them down when one of the riders approached him, saying that he was a messenger.

"I bring news of events to the south!"

"Good, we shall talk later. I think that these wolves are for us to breed?"

"Yes, 5 more are in the next settlement."

"Good, I was thinking that 2 of these men could ride to Erak with you. Being a new race to us and all."

The messenger agreed and sat next to him and also watched the small peoples reply.

The Daroth argued, three of them were against riding off into the unknown, on an unknown animal with an unknown race. The other two loved the idea. Exasperated, Ton said that the two that wanted to go could, so long as they were allowed to keep their weapons he said, drawing this on the ground.
As the two lucky adventurers sped off into the distance the remainder, with Ton requested to be allowed to explore the town, quite interested as to how advanced they were.

So it was agreed, the representitives were rearmed and left shortly, clinging on for life on one of the wolves. The remaining small people were left to freely inspect the town until the feast was ready, consisting mainly of meat, fish and lots of booze around the bonfire, which their guests loved.

After the feast, the misia took their leader aside and asked him about three things:

He had seen the chain armor during the feast, and asked questions about the metal and make.

He asked if 3 of his kind could go with them to their city.

He also asked if they knew about the tree-men from the south, as he talked to the messenger before the feast.

((1 Hrun, 1 wolf mount and 2 daroth arrive in Stukiodia at the end of the turn, and arrive in Halas the next turn.))

Ton told the Giant's leader that his people made them, out of steel. A strong but light metal and agreed that some of the Giants could visit the Capital, Astmeban and he told them that it would be a good idea to leave a representative in each of the cities, to learn each other's language.
He said he didn't know of any Treemen, but more Bushmen, and he believed that the Daroth and these walking trees will meet soon.

Ehn'Gha / Odua
Summer - Seventh week

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The hardest days of summer struck the southern city, forcing most mages away from it, and into the main tower. Only a few Mages and Runeblades remained, and new ones arrived, bearing orders from the Elchmistress. These orders were to carry out a plan which has been prepared since long ago, and most of its aspects had been studied for many seasons. Sekhfar, Ostralin, Alexius and Unroe were the new arrivals who joined with Xanthis and Inifius on this plan.

In the evening they all assembled at their assigned places, waiting for their target to show up. It did not take long, the Akkadian merchant-embassador was very punctual, and accompanied by a few guards, as always. Sekhfar did what he did best, making illusions. He changed Ostralin's appearance to look more human, and more beautiful, probably like the most beautiful woman a man had ever seen. Not that it was necessary, as Ostralin, being a vampire, had the unnatural beauty of her kin. In any case it was better if she looked more human and could not be recognized afterwards. He also created a few more illusions, all looking like beautiful women.

Then the plan was launched. The group of women went into the street, right in the sight of the Akkadian merchant and his guards, making inviting gestures and winking suggestively. They all fell for it and followed the illusions to a dark alley, one that had not been restored yet. There the guards were set upon by the Runeblades and knocked out. The same happened to the merchant. They were carried to a dark, unused building where Xanthis was waiting, with a fair amount of wine.

Then he started his work. He entered the head of the merchant and dug through all of his memories for the pas decade or so. He managed to learn a lot about Akkadian culture and history. They were no different than the Al'Redayin people from Aurea. Desert-dwellers, traders, and... Something was wrong, it looked like the memory had been tampered with. It was a small thing, but it was interesting nonetheless. Xanthis focused on it to find out what was hidden.

It appeared to be shoddy work, not that of a real master of the Mind. It did not take long to unravel and showed an interesting conversation. It was about the rulers of Akkad, the Council of Four. Someone referred to them as “liches”, then quickly withdrew his words. That was all of it, but there were other gaps and knots in these memories and time was going short. So Xanthis decided to save these memories somewhere in his head for analysis later.

After that the plan was mostly done, so he wiped the last memories of the merchant and the guards, so that they would no remember anything from the interrogation, and planted new memories instead. All they would remember would be that they spent a very good time surrounded by wine and women. With enough luck, none of them would speak about it openly, especially if they were married.

Wine was also poured down their throats and hangover effects were implanted in their minds. A good amount of wine was also poured on their clothes and face. Then, under the cover of the night, and the unnatural darkness Ostralin created, they were carried to the back of one of the taverns in the city and left there.

Angartheris
Summer - Seventh week

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

New orders were received by Elestris as well. The city they had found was not to be entirely destroyed. Instead a small part of it would be kept as a Tower outpost. This way it would not be necessary to build dormitories for Novices, and the high buildings of the city were suitable for mages. Only two dozen buildings would be kept, those around the library. Art pieces would be moved in the buildings that were to be kept standing, and defences would be created at the entrances of the city.

The center of the city would be called Angartheris (or Silverbook in the language of the great unwashed). The whole area was now officially claimed by the Tower.

Restoration on the books continued but Dazhmar was asked to go melt one of the useless buildings, the one he had started to work on was to be kept after all. Elestris, being mostly bored, started to try to understand the language in which the books were written. Considering there were plenty of them, it should not be impossible.

Sphere cave
Summer - Tenth week

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Once again Sirilanai walked into the large underground chamber where the strange sphere was kept. The sphere was still there. It seemed to him that it was mocking his efforts to find out where it came from or who made it. This time though, the old mage was prepared. He hasn't lived more than a thousand years for naught.

He focused on the sphere again, trying to catch the flow of divination that swirled around the sphere, trying to follow it back to the time when the sphere was made. This time he managed to find out what he wanted, or at least something he might have wanted. He sensed a bubbling sea of flows, filling up to breaking point. Then the sea began to recede, forming a whirlpool.

It seemed to him that the sphere had not been made by anyone and didn't have any purpose of existance. What was more certain however, was that the sphere was formed or reshaped, or went through a saturation of the flow. He remembered the vision he saw two years ago, of a shooting star crashing to the west of the tower. He also remembered the crater in which the sphere had been found.

It was most likely that the sphere came from space, and that warranted further investigation. It was now necessary to build a spaceship and follow the trail the sphere probably left behind. Follow it to the point where the sphere probably began to exist.

Seristis Tower – Elchmistress' Office
Summer – Last week

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The worst of the summer was finally over, not that it was that terrible when you spent most of your days inside the tower, like Werelath always did. As always her days were mostly teaching and reading reports. Sometimes she sent a letter or two.

The students were progressing and were very confident. She thought it would be good to give them some field experience, instead of keeping them inside, learning theoretical magic. There was plenty of work to do elsewhere, and they could help. Of course there was the matter of Novices being unable to leave the Commons, but that could be easily circumvented by extending the commons to where the Novices were needed.

Some Grandmasters had submitted tests for entrance into Principles. Some of them looked easy, some hard, and some nearly impossible. Dazhmar's looked like a test of endurance. Xanthis' a test of will and courage. Sirilanai and Shugak wanted the students to show their intelligence and reasoning.

Xanthis had also reported on his findings about the Akkadians. It seemed that their society does not practice magic as a whole and only the rulers do, as was suspected before. The rulers were, it seemed, liches who wanted to keep away from the public. They had an official ruler, who was probably unhappy with being a puppet to powerful masters. It also appeared that the embassy contained only two mages, and that they were indeed preparing a summoning ritual, a summoning circle thy called it. The merchants were not privy to further information however.

An old report attracted her attention. It was Sirilanai's vision of an underwater city. It was clipped with a map found in the Iraxi archives, showing an island where there was nothing. Werelath's curiosity was nearly at its peak. She would sent Elestris or Jaleen there when they came back.

A small note from Xanthis was also lying there. It concerned the arrival of a new Novice to the Tower, a certain Xith who came recommended by the Iraxi Emperor and who apparently had potential as a mage. Xanthis was willing to sponsor him, so that he could be given extra lectures to be even better prepared than the average Mage. It was interesting as he was the first willing candidate to enter the Tower.
