wesley: yeah you killed them, and some small talk happened
Charl: Which map?
Adam: here
Charl: Got it
wesley: base of operations
Christopher: sup
wesley: alright, so after playing a somber melody for the dead kyraz, the room falls silent, azure goes to antonius body and starts trying to pull out the arrow she did him in with, when she suddenly stops
wesley: everyone make a spot check
* wesley rolls: 1d20+6 => 17 + 6 = 23
* wesley rolls: 1d20+12 => 7 + 12 = 19
Charl: « 1d20+1 = 8 + 1 = 9 »
* Christopher rolls: 1d20-1 => 9 - 1 = 8
* Santoroski rolls: 1d20+4 => 7 + 4 = 11
Christopher: yaaaay
Santoroski: its okay i suck too
Charl: Yay for low WIS
Christopher: we don't see shit, basically
Guard 1: Lady are you ok?
Spike hound: *whines*
Azure: I hear a voice....in my head
wesley: the wolf starts gnawing at azure's heels
Guard 1: Heel Boy
Arnello: Back, beast!
Guard 1: He detects magic. It's what they've been breed to do for generations
* Adam rolls: 1d20 => 12
Radiance: Magic? Voices? I think now's the time to leave
Azure: Children.....Follow me.......
Azure: Kyraz don't....follow
wesley: she starts wandering towards the door
Radiance: Arnello, stop her!
Guard 1: I've got to report to the king. I'll send for some kyraz to come to this area
Arnello: Hold, everyone!
Arnello: First we must observe. Kyraz please stay back.
wesley: you all suddenly hear this in the distance
wesley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OZCyp-LcGw
wesley: also make a wisdom check
Radiance: « 1d20+1 = 11 + 1 = 12 »
* Adam rolls: 1d20 => 13
* Christopher rolls: 1d20-1 => 16 - 1 = 15
Christopher: wat
Sir Krylis: « 1d20 = 9 »
wesley: everyone but krylis remembers this as being a song that noontime often played
Arnello: This can't be good...
wesley: and everyone remembers that ageless often play very odd battle hymns before making themselves known
Radiance: Run.
Siroc: I'm not sure even running can save us now.
wesley: before you can run....
Arnello: Stand with dignity
wesley: DAD POPS IN
Noontime: CHILDREN, HOW I'VE MISSED YOU
Arnello: (( I pull back Azure. ))
Noontime: come give your father a hug
Radiance: Hello Father. Come to put us back in your cells?
Arnello: (( ready an action to draw my sword if he gets closer. ))
wesley: suddenly, the light seems to fade from his face. He starts speaking more somberly
Noontime: No. That would defeat the purpose of this excersize
Sir Krylis: ((i also ready an action to draw weapons))
Noontime: no, i've come to put the final part of my plan into action
Noontime: *removes his mask, showing a face that looks like a broken porcelin doll* I've come to fix this battered world
Radiance: They... they were right. You let us escape
Noontime: *puts mask on the floor* you see, this all started many many years ago. Before i took the mantle of noontime even. In simpler times, back when I was edward, basterd son of Godfrey. My father took me aside and told me I was a scion of change, that i could fix this world.
Siroc: *eyes discarded mask*
Noontime: He coudln't have imagined that a goddess would choose me as her champion to defend a backward people from daemonic threat.
Noontime: He also couldn't have imagined how we ageless squandered this gift and made the goddess full of hate and rage
Noontime: Let me tell you my story
Arnello: (( pull up a chair, everyone. ))
Noontime: a tale that in this modern time has become twisted
wesley: (it indeed is chair pull time)
Siroc: (Unless anyone objects, I'm going to ready an action to swipe that mask as soon as he looks distracted.)
Noontime: Tell me, why do you think i killed anara?
* wesley rolls: 1d20+35 => 17 + 35 = 52
Noontime: *looking at siroc* taking my mask would do you no good. It has to be willingly given up
Siroc: Can you blame me for trying?
Noontime: no. I suppose I can't
Noontime: but back to the point, why would i have killed anara, can anyone tell me?
Radiance: I once believed that it was simply because you were bored, and she seemed like fun to kill... But something tells me you're not as dumb as you look
Arnello: Envy, perhaps?
Noontime: Why would i be envious, i in fact was the more powerful
Radiance: You must have known a war would start
Noontime: precisely
Noontime: but why would i want war?
Arnello: More power seems like the most obvious reason.
Noontime: What would you say if i told you i wasn't the first ageless to discover the vanguard?
Christopher: cue morpheus glasses
wesley: charl are you going to say anything or should i keep going?
Radiance: You must have known they were a threat... So why did you provoke the Council?
Noontime: Simple. My brother teatime had found natan and both kept the existence of an entire civilization a secret from their peers
Radiance: What does that got to do with us?
Noontime: in due time my darling daughter. You see, teatime and natan wished to combine research and to be the only two immortals. and knowing those two once they had enough power to be the only two immortals they'd probably turn on eachother
Noontime: I had to put a stop to this, but no ageless would believe me
Noontime: not even my darling little sister sunset believed me
Noontime: so i had to do something dirastic
Noontime: cause a war
Noontime: i hoped that this would force the two to fight, or at least part ways temporarily while i figured out a more permanent solution. But they weren't even loyal to their own kind. They treated the war as a testing field for their science. And when one side started winning then the two would put more science towards the other side
Noontime: my plan was a resounding failure. but it did lead to discovery. For example, I discovered Damean, a man who might be able to stop Natan and teatime, given the proper guidance. And more importantly, i discovered the masks powers could be transfered
Noontime: *picks the mask back up and turns it in his hand so he's looking at it's face* darktime was always sick in the head. I suppose it takes a sort of mental sickness to want to give away this sort of power.
Noontime: But, the war also helped natan and teatime. They took the mask of moonlight after the smoke died down following her untimely demise
Radiance: I thought the masks needed to be willingly given away
Noontime: It is my belief that they have discovered a way to steal the power of the masks
Arnello: That would certainly make it possible to become the most powerful Ageless.
Noontime: Precisely "jester to kings"
Radiance: The last one who had but two masks went mad
Siroc: Presumably they've found a way around that. Or are working on one.
Sir Krylis: Teatime is already mad.
Noontime: And this is where you come in. I left enough clues for Damean to find Natan, and for him to find out what he has done, and I lead him to some powerful allies to help him. But it wouldn't be enough. They'd need an ageless. But Damean wants to kill me. And I can't blame him. I needed to find someone to use my power
Noontime: My time on this world has drawn on too long
Noontime: I have done what I can to make it better, many will say I have failed
Noontime: I want to leave behind people that can make the world better, people who can fix the ageless, keep the goddess imprisoned without destroying the world in the process
Siroc: Fixing the Ageless might require replacing them all first... by force.
Noontime: *throws mask to the floor, and it breaks into four pieces, landing in front of each of you* For the sake of the world, I relinquish my power, and step aside so that the next generation might be better for my mistakes
Siroc: What becomes of you now? I have to ask.
Radiance: ... Its oblivion, isn't it?
Noontime: Damean is going to kill me. then, the goddess will have me
Noontime: Damean doesn't know where natan is. Tell him that Natan hides in the city of power
Noontime: If you should survive this, please, make sure someone gets the story straight
Noontime: that somehow, the true story survives
Siroc: You're talking to a group with two storytellers. I don't think that's a concern.
Arnello: heh.
Noontime: *turns away* that this doesn't stay twisted *walks out the door*
Siroc: So the crazy one was actually the sane one all along. Who'd have guessed?
Radiance: *murmuring* The king is dead. Long live his heirs.
Azure: ....isn't anyone going to...follow the old man?
Siroc: The courts would have been a social experiment...
Siroc: I will.
Arnello: (( I pick up the mask fragment. ))
Siroc: (I do that on my way out.)
Radiance: Where are you going, father?
Siroc: Think about this for a moment. What is gained by your death now?
Sir Krylis: ((i pick up mine as well))
Noontime: he approaches
Noontime: In order for their to be peace i must die
Siroc: I doubt that there ever will be peace. We could at least use you as a shock troop.
You whisper to Christopher: as an arcanist you can feel a huge storm of power approaching
You whisper to Charl: as an arcanist you can feel a huge storm of power approaching
Siroc: Whoa.
Noontime: He will kill me. it is my punishment
wesley: there is a flash of light than a man you've never seen before appears
Siroc: Krylis! Grab the old man and let's move.
damean: This ends now noontime
Noontime: YOU ARE POWERLESS AGAINST THE AGELESS DAMEAN
Radiance: He's lying even now?!
wesley: if you want to do something go ahead and roll init
Sir Krylis: Noontime is repenting, and I seriously doubt we can force him against his will.
Siroc: You're useless, Krylis.
Sir Krylis: This is the path he's chosen, for him and for us.
Arnello: Um... you two know each other?
Siroc: Are you content to let a man commit suicide right in front of you?!
Siroc: I'm certainly not strong enough to hold him down!
wesley: again, if you're doing something roll init otherwise
Sir Krylis: And you think I am?
Radiance: *whispering* Are you sure you wish to give up your immortality?
Arnello: (( I'm rolling ))
* Adam rolls: 1d20+4 => 16 + 4 = 20
* wesley rolls: 1d20+8 => 1 + 8 = 9
wesley: wow
wesley: not my day
* wesley rolls: 1d20+6 => 16 + 6 = 22
wesley: noontime goes first
Siroc: Have it your way, Krylis. If there's nothing left for us to do, I'm getting out of here. Shame we have to waste such a powerful ally.
wesley: noontime split channels arcana and storm
* wesley rolls: 2d6 => 5
* wesley rolls: 2d6 => 11
wesley: and he starts to fly 25 feet abouve the ground
* Christopher rolls: 1d20+4 => 14 + 4 = 18
Christopher: my init
wesley: adam chris go
Arnello: (( perform chekc ))
* Adam rolls: 1d20+10 => 13 + 10 = 23
Siroc: I, for one, intend to survive this, with or without Noontime.
Radiance: He's our father, Siroc!
Siroc: THEN ONE OF YOU, DO SOMETHING. I'm as weak as a wet noodle!
Sir Krylis: And he's sacrificed himself for us. Without the mask, he'll soon die anyways.
Azure: He wants it this way
Radiance: Then I suppose we have no choice
Arnello: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7yPmXJStow
Sir Krylis: I know we've been fighting him, but I hardly think this of all times to go against his will.
Sir Krylis: this is the time to*
wesley: alright, damean starts channeling
* wesley rolls: 13d6 => 55
* wesley rolls: 8d4 => 20
Siroc: Bring him or don't, but we're not going to survive this if we stand and fight.
* wesley rolls: 1d20+16 => 3 + 16 = 19
wesley: hit barely...
Santoroski: ((I hop on the speederbike and wave someone else on
wesley: god damean stop rolling like not a god
* wesley rolls: 36d6 => 126
wesley: and noontime gets cooked alive
damean: THAT'S FOR ANARA, AND FOR OUR GREAT GREAT GRANDSON, AND FOR EVERY SOUL LOST TO YOUR MADNESS
damean: *slumps over* you slaves are free now
damean: *sits down*
Radiance: ...Yes... free...
Arnello: One down...
Arnello: One more, I should say.
Azure: *under her breath* arnello, show some respect
Siroc: Hrm. He got anything else?
Siroc: I mean, why let good gear go to waste?
Arnello: and you're mad at me for being disrespectful?
wesley: i'll give you loots later
Radiance: Say, um... Sir. Am I speaking to the great and powerful Dameon?
damean: you heard of me? I heard children of the ageless barely got feed, let alone educated
Siroc: Straight from "don't let him kill Father" to this?
damean: yes i'm damean
Azure: *still under breath* it's what your father wanted
damean: and who might you be?
Radiance: I'm just a scullery maid that he locked up for stealing a book, sir. *shhhhes Siroc* I have some information that the ... um dreadful Noontime was foolish enough to let us know
damean: oh yeah, and what would terrible old father not want me to know?
Radiance: That Natan is conspiring with Teatime to do something horrid beyond words, and they're hiding out in the city of ...Power... I think he called it
damean: I already knew they were conspiring. But power...It always does seem to lead back to those cursed cities. Children, could you lend me your steel against your black hearted uncle?
Sir Krylis: Any enemy of Teatime is an enemy of ours.
Radiance: *winks at party* I think we may be of some assistance
You whisper to Santoroski: also your letter has stopped glowing
damean: Perfect
Sir Krylis whispers: as in a message has been sent or as in its not magic anymore
damean: gather what you need, it's a long hike there, i'd prefer to be fresh if i have to face those monsters
You whisper to Santoroski: the 2nd one francesca gave you that couldn't be opened is now not glowing anymore
Sir Krylis whispers: oh well once we leave damean i read it
wesley: that's all i've got, besides giving loots and levels, dameans going to walk to the city of time so he has all his channels going into the last encounter
Charl: So what do the masks do?
Charl: *mask fragments I mean
wesley: first of, simple possession of them lets you feel the goddess's power flowing through you
wesley: 5 levels in sorc
Santoroski: we just get 5 sorc levels?
wesley: there's more
wesley: but yes that's your big ticket item
wesley: sorry adam s
Santoroski: QQ
wesley: dude you sucked as a fighter anyways
Santoroski: i almost had parry tho
wesley: wearing the mask makes you instantly identifiable as an ageless, grants a +8 to all senses, and a +4 to cha
Santoroski: its ok i will now try the hybrid fighting
Christopher: well, you can pick it up in the levels grnted anyway
wesley: yeah you still get 2 feats for level
wesley: though smart money has one of those on shared channel so you can battery power
Santoroski: smarter money has it on still spell so i can actually do things QQ
wesley: i need to ask if brian intended still spell to make armor casting viable
Santoroski: i believe it does in phb
wesley: yeah but it also raises the level of spell in phb
Christopher: it just levels the hell out of the spell
wesley: now it's just a feat
Charl: Are we immortal now?
Santoroski: yeah if spells lack somatic spells they dont have spell failure
Christopher: and totally inane cosmetic question, how did the mask split?
Christopher: like, what are the chunks?
Santoroski: what if it broke in layers and we all have paper thin ones XD
Christopher: lol
Charl: I'd imagine it'd be down the middle and into fourths.. the mask is already conveniently split into quadrants
Christopher: that was my theory
Santoroski: so what else is there for loot
Charl: Look gueys, I'm wearing a mask
Charl: Mask goes on
Santoroski: how does multiclassing saves work?
Charl: Mask goes off
Santoroski: just additive
Christopher: also how are we putting broken mask pieces on...
Christopher: what attaches the
wesley: yeah, unless they get to far away
Christopher: them*
Charl: Magic
wesley: but SORC IS YOUR GUYS FAVORED CLASS
Christopher: and yes, one advantage of multiclassing is that you get crazy good saves
wesley: ok, mask is split into corners but you can change the "mask" to being any item at this point
Santoroski: what do you mean any item
wesley: also, noontime had a gaudy sword that grants the user +2 cha and on top of that is a flaming holy sword
Christopher: I'm going to keep it as face slot, just put it into a leather cowl or something.
wesley: i mean you can use magic to make it into a necklace, or a ring, or whatever
Charl: I like the quadrant look
wesley: but it still has magic of the goddes flowing through it so it's instantly identifiable to any competent mage
Santoroski: i uh... i use swords
wesley: yeah and you have a low cha
wesley: your welcome
Christopher: wait what holy
Christopher: NOONTIME WAS GOOD?!
Santoroski: no? i have 18 cha now
wesley: or he made it holy knowing he'd die and you could use it
wesley: yeah but i'm about possitive everyone else has you beat. but whatever
Santoroski: probably
wesley: anyways, do you guys need anything else?
Santoroski: do we also get a regular level up or just the 5 sorcs
Charl: Does the mask make us immortal, or are we gonna find that out later?
Santoroski: and also how do the saves work when we multiclass
wesley: ok, from easiest to answer to hardest
wesley: saves work additavely multiclassing is great for saves
wesley: you also get one more level but i thought i'd be nice and let you know you're all stuck with 5 sorc levels and give you the option of taking a 6th on or taking a 5th in your other class
wesley: you aren't sure if you're immortal but your body certainly feels different
Christopher: i'll see what give me more magic
wesley: it's sorc
Charl: F**k yea lvl 10 sorc
wesley: 6th sorc grants 3rd level channels
wesley: 5th bard does SHIT
Christopher: yup
Santoroski: same with 5th fighter lol
wesley: also you might want to coordinate on what spell types you choose
Santoroski: literally nothing
Christopher: and d6s hate my guts, so my health may double from the 6d4
wesley: at least 5th fighter gives notably more hp
Santoroski: im only gonna take buff categories
Santoroski: aight we good to go?
Santoroski: i need food
Christopher: I might do some weird shit like anti-mana and arcana
Charl: Well, there are 30 something spell types, and five levels each mean we have to choose 10 to leave out
Christopher: but at least one attack energy
Christopher: well, some of us get 6
wesley: except charl, you already have 5
Charl: Then I think we can cover everything
Santoroski: y/n can i leave my friends are harrassing me
wesley: you can get all sorc available energy types, remember there are about 6 energies sorcs don't get
wesley: yes
wesley: get out santoroski
wesley: nobody likes you
Santoroski: peace good session
Santoroski: i know
wesley: ...i like you
wesley: WHY WONT SENPAI NOTICE ME CHARL?
Santoroski is disconnected.
Charl: Because you're late for school
wesley: I THOUGHT THAT MADE ME QUIRKY AND RELATABLE
You whisper to Adam: what do you intend to do now
Azure: this sort of changes everything
Charl: That means you have to sit at the back with the mysterious transfer student
wesley: sorry, azure was supposed to whisper to adam, please disregard party
Adam whispers: Sorry I'm getting ready to go. I forgot I'm leaving the house at 4.
Adam whispers: I'm multi tasking
You whisper to Adam: alright but azure totally needs to react to this
You whisper to Adam: when will you be back
Siroc: Looks like we'll be getting that kingdom after all, eh Radiance?
Adam whispers: I mean the ceremony starts at 7, so probably not til at least 9.
Arnello whispers: Well, I certainly have mixed feelings about all of this. I'm not sure what or who to believe anymore.
Radiance: There wasn't a question of whether or not we were. Now its just going to happen sooner
You whisper to Adam: It's hard. But....I think the only difference between now and then is that we see more of the picture, and that you now have more power to bring about change
Radiance: Father taught me something important. Falsehood, to others or even to yourself, is sometimes the path to righteousness
Radiance: What matters is who you decide to tell the truth
Arnello whispers: I suppose you're right. The mission remains the same. We must free those who the Ageless enslaved.
Player "arnello" is not connected.
Siroc: The Kyraz king mentioned wanting us to clear out an area to the west, and noticably lacked objection when I suggested we use some of that territory for our kingdom...
Player "arnello" is not connected.
You whisper to Adam: the only diference now Giacomo is that you also stand between those people and the goddess. My love, you musn't forget that
Siroc: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Radiance: I expect that Teatime won't be the last ageless we encounter. A kingdom to the West sounds promising, but I get the feeling we
Radiance: 'll return south sooner or later
Siroc: And we could have a lovely, large domain if we can link the inevitable Ageless territory gains with our western holdings.
wesley: alright, well i'm saving the transcript now then closing the campaign, if you want to do anymore rping before kicking the door in on some gods then tell me
Christopher: nah i'm good
Charl: Me too
Charl: Good session
