DVL Contract.jpg

Introduction

We continue at 6:30PM on the 20th of Denrilden (00.000.09.11 on the Apocalypse Clock) with the party back at the imperial ships near the Dead Forest in Armada. The group has replaced Alys Sharppe as Seer with Grissel, defeated the undead plaguing the Dead Forest (and parleyed with their Devil Fish Ancestor master), made a deal with Lysander for passage to the mainland (apparently at dawn on the 21st of Denrilden), and received a draft contract from Baalzebub's yellow-hatted agent. Ranarth, having unwisely signed his own contract, has been "dealt with" by the party as well. Will there be time to check-in with Grissel and Armada's supposedly insane magic user? Can the group put together a contract with Baalzebub that they trust? What's with Lysander's sudden hurry to leave town? Find out next time ...

Larry's Summary

We check in with the jeweler, Caspar Dealbator, his wife Holmeda, and Cas and Calla his two kids. They are in a cabin below on the The Eclipse, formerly under Captain Hiro. (First mate will maybe he will take over.) Caspar asks for a sample of the material we want him to work, and Kauri gives him one of the nanocarbon information cubes. We debate where to keep Caspar and family. Khelratha suggests either the web or Xen Khel, but the web with Prixithalma makes more sense, so also suggest we get a table, chairs, beds etc. for the family and those in the web. He needs a table for a workplace and also at least one table for meals. We then visit Grissel and get an extension of 24 hours so we can make preparations. Grissel will get us some underwater breathing coral in case we need it. It is too late to shop for furniture, so we go visit Ragamar the orc wizard who is reported to be scrawling numbers all over his tower. We get there and his apprentice, Cort, tries to dissuade us from talking to him. Ragamar approaches us and is "with it" although his hair and robes are a disgusting shambles. He leads us to the roof of his tower. Kauri sees that he glows with the light blue glow of DVL magic. Cort, the apprentice said he was in the middle of casting identify on some loot an Admiral had gathered when DVL magic ended. Cort said at first he was catatonic then started mumbling numbers, then started scrawling them in abyssal. Kauri showed Ragamar TikTok and he said, "Yes, yes, I knew the time would come." He set Tik Tok in a "gap" in the string of numbers. He wanted to cut Tik Tok so he'd bleed a little and power a spell to send the tower "where he needed to go." We suspect somehow a DVL is trapped. Lambertus managed to cast a weak fizzling cure light wounds on Velkin for 1 HP. Kauri drew off a bit of magic into his anti-ESP ring, but it quickly faded. We collected some blood that kauri could see the glow, but it too, quickly faded. When Ragamar opens his mouth, Kauri sees the glow. Ragamar knows the Yellow Hat of Beelzebub is in Armada and that he came close to the tower, but Cort prevented him from grabbing him. Tik Tok said that the numbers are some sort of coordinates. If two numbers, it is on Medeia. If three numbers, it might be a moon or other planet. If more numbers it is another plane. There is no way to easily tell how many numbers there are. Velkin copied the wall where Ragamar started recording the numbers. We did not get to our review and discussion of what to do about the new DVL contract.
