Scholar-King: So, little ones, what manner of mess are you in?
The ten foot tall, four-armed creature with the reptilian face gives you a rather serene look. The entity from the Outer Dark seems frozen, much like everything else around it.
Delia is rather slack-jawed and has no response. It is up to the PCs!
GM: (Doomy-Doom!) Might as well re-roll the world.
Volmalric: That would be an oily black sort of mess
Scholar-King: Ahh... is that all?
Slumbara: Slumbara had things under control
Volmalric: I wouldn't say they were under control
Meltam Perandus: Well, we were just trying to stow away a little bit of knowlege for safe-keeping, when these fishy people decided they wanted a meal.
Scholar-King: Yes, the mighty Slumbara always has things under control. Of this I am aware.
Scholar-King: I brought popcorn to watch Slumbara handle the situation.
Slumbara: Yes, this is true
Slumbara: Here, take a business card
Slumbara hands a business card to the Scholar-King
Scholar-King hands a white and red striped bag to Meltam and Volmalric with two of his arms, collects the business card with third arm, pushes Delia's mouth closed with fourth arm.
Meltam Perandus: If anything, we have learned that catfish are not worth betting on vs. pirrannas
Scholar-King retrieves popcorn for himself from "somewhere".
Volmalric accepts the bag dubiously
Meltam Perandus graciously accepts a goodie bag.
It smells like some sort of exploded grain substance, covered in salt and some sort of extruded dairy product. You are not entirely sure it is safe to eat.
Meltam Perandus: While it's true that I may have caused some sort of issue in inviting the Catfish Folk to this plane, it was only because of those deep ones being here in the first place.
Volmalric: In the present, our current issue is the oily black one. Long term, we're heading to Mesantia to find a way to stop some other problems that are probably worse long-term
Meltam Perandus: Lore 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 8]
Volmalric chooses not to partake in the lizard person's native dish
Scholar-King: I see. Well, speaking as an Astral Echo of an extinct species, I can agree you should try to stave off the "worse long-term" issues before they become "fatal".
Slumbara takes advantage of the pause in the action to climb out of the pit and retrieve his other sword
Volmalric: I'm glad you're an extinct species instead of being more demons. Though, uh, I'm sorry to hear about the extinct part...
Scholar-King: Well, everything has their time. I'm sure humanity will wipe itself out due to a self-inflicted environmental disaster. My money is on the Cockroaches the Elder Things developed to be the final inheritors of the world and the solve surviving species when the sun collapses into itself.
Volmalric blinks
Scholar-King: But that's a long time from now, so let's see what we can do to help each other short term.
Volmalric: That would definitely be preferable. What's brought you here?
Delia: Gah...gush...buh...
Volmalric peers over the edge to see how far Slumbara's gotten
Slumbara has successfully retrieved his sword.
Slumbara: Snap out of it woman
Slumbara slaps Delia
Slumbara: Melee 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 21]
Slumbara: Good Unarmed: (Reach 1-Improvised-Stun-2D): [4d6 = 15]
Meltam Perandus: We are already indebted to you, great king.
Delia: Thanks.
Slumbara: Slumbara can solve any problem with violence
Meltam Perandus: Though a little medical care and perhaps some means of travel would go far.
Delia blinks a few times and looks around. Gasps when she sees the Giant-King as if it is the first time she has seen it.
Delia: What the Flower?
Volmalric: No, he's a lizard
Delia blinks a few times.
Delia: Thanks.
Scholar-King: Ah, well, let me arrange a few things for you then.
Slumbara: Meltam, are you selling your soul again?
Scholar-King: I need a small, pesky problem taken care of for me.
Meltam Perandus: Name it,
Slumbara: Am I going to have cut off anymore of your limbs?
Scholar-King: So I have a small microcosm environment built as a lab during the time of the Cataclysm. It's actually been running fine for a long time, but some rather obnoxious creature figured out a way to sneak in and mess with things on me.
Meltam Perandus: By Valka!...I mean Mitra!
Volmalric glares at Meltam
Scholar-King: In exchange for disposing of this pesky beast and sending you to Messantia, I need you to destroy an Servitor of Set for me. I can't abide those stupid snakes. How that Snake-father has been around for countless millennia despite the best efforts of many groups to eradicate him is a source of constant annoyance.
Slumbara: That should make Volmalric happy
Slumbara: He has a permanent erection for Mitra
Slumbara grabs Volmalric's crotch and laughs
Volmalric: Excuse me, just because I happen to follow something greater than myself doesn't mean I wish to sleep with it
Meltam Perandus: Good King, We would be delighted to do so, yet I feel we are all but unarmed to deal with supernatural might. Why without your intervention we might yet have not lived past this day!
Volmalric wards away Slumbara's attempts by swinging his bow and backing away
Slumbara: Melee 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 21]
Volmalric: Parry 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 19]
Scholar-King: Oh, don't worry, the Servitor of Set is quite susceptible to normal weapons and stabbing and bludgeoning of things.
Slumbara: Slumbara is good at stabbing and bludgeoning
Meltam Perandus: Most convenient!
Volmalric: That sounds significantly better than what we're currently against, and I have no problem with seeing a heathonous creature like that pass from this world
Scholar-King: Well, I mean, first you have to gather a few things to make a weapon capable of dispelling his Shield of Invulnerability, but once that is down, the rest is just brutal melee.
Volmalric: ...thank you for adding that minor detail
Scholar-King: Anyway, you can find all the ingredients in the environment I am sending you to, it just might take some work to find them.
Volmalric: What "environment" is this?
Scholar-King: Don't worry about all the bodies and other messes that you may find in there, I keep sending you humans but it seems like many of you get sidetracked, or are squishy, or so on.
Meltam Perandus: Would a book of Skelos just let us learn some incantation to banish it back to whatever nightmare it came from?
Scholar-King: Well certainly, if you had the right incantation and knew how to cast it. Or you can collect the following items, which I am sure will get turned into some series of fetch and carry quests in a time-honored tradition. The good news is, none of these will be found in cellars or barrels.
Slumbara: Slumbara does not Meltam to cast an incantation
Slumbara: He would summon a demon, kill innocent children, and bathe in their blood
Scholar-King: Oh, then he is perfect for this.
Volmalric: Does not trust or object to?
Slumbara: Both?
Meltam Perandus: Slumbara, you may yet learn forgiveness
Slumbara: Slumbara can always wait for Meltam to rack up a bounty, then collect it
Scholar-King: You need to collect the Tears of an Undead Dragon, the Blood of a Bat Demon, and the Fang of a Crocofile King.
(Crocodile)
Scholar-King: Mix the two liquids in a bowl, soak the fang in it, and smash that into the Servitor's heart. That will dispel the Shield of Invulnerability.
Scholar-King: Got all that?
Delia: Nope. I hope someone else does, because I'm about to have a nervous breakdown. I'm used to looting tombs with dead things, not really talking to dead things.
Slumbara: No!
Meltam Perandus: Yes!
Volmalric: Wouldn't that kill it?
Slumbara: I think Volmalric should be in charge of mixing things in bowls
Slumbara: That is really more of his thing
Volmalric: What sort of creature can be stabbed in the heart and not die?
Scholar-King: Oh, many things. For instance, my second wife.
Slumbara: Was her name Ikuko?
Volmalric: See, you should never marry something that you can't kill by stabbing it in the heart
Scholar-King: Yes, to both questions.
Scholar-King: Or one question and a statement.
Scholar-King: Also, Volmalric is right, never marry something that cannot be killed by stabbing it in the chest.
Volmalric: Thank you
Scholar-King: Also, don't marry things that decide to turn themselves into a Lich to avoid mortality. It makes certain aspects of your married life much less enjoyable.
Slumbara: Slumbara does not believe in marriage
Slumbara: Slumbara is too much man for one man or woman
Scholar-King: I can understand that sentiment entirely.
Volmalric: Let's focus again
Scholar-King: Right, so you are good on my task list?
Meltam Perandus: Three seemingly disparate and unrelated items, or the book?
Volmalric: I think we were talking about handling the oil creature, and then helping with this "servitor of set", and then being brought to our chosen destination, correct?
Scholar-King: Right.
Scholar-King: I'll do the first and the last for you, you take care of the middle one for me.
Meltam Perandus: Okay I agree.
Scholar-King: Excellent.
Slumbara: Slumbara is ready to assist. Tear the blood out of a crocodile dragon bat or something
Slumbara: No problem
Tack (Meltam Perandus): Maybe we are thinking about this all wrong. After we annoint the tooth, we should mount it on a spear or someting, and that becomes the Dreaded Crocofile, slayer of gods.
Scholar-King: Right, so let's give Slumbara his chance to solve things his way here, and then move along.
Delia: Can I have a bag of popcorn? Because I'm pretty sure my sanity is taking a bunch of hits, and I need some comfort food.
Scholar-King hands Delia a Chocolate bar.
Delia: By Mitra, you are my favorite dead person in the world.
Delia eats chocolate bar.
Slumbara readies his battle-tuba and his shiny new sword
Scholar-King: Go get him, big guy.
Slumbara: Slumbara is ready to defeat the sludge monster
Slumbara charges the sludge monster and attacks while bellowing a mighty note from his battle-tuba
Volmalric: Lore 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 21]
Slumbara: Athletics 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 38]
Slumbara: Melee 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 25]
Slumbara: Broadsword: (Reach 2-Parry 1-UNB-5D): [7d6 = 21]
Slumbara: [1d6 = 3]
Volmalric: Before we begin, can I ask whether you've heard of Hilitheus, Aurerias, or Rhiveth before?
Slumbara belches out a note that sounds like a cross between a fog-horn and a whale fart, then plunges his sword into the sludge monster, which shudders and shrinks into itself, becoming a more compact ball.
Delia: Me? Yes.
Volmalric was addressing the illuminati king
Scholar-King claps vigrously with one set of hands while eating popcorn and scratching his leg with the other set of hands.
Volmalric also takes note of Delia's response and nods appreciatively with the intent to follow up
Scholar-King: Oh, was that question directed at me?
Scholar-King: Sorry, I was not paying attention.
Meltam Perandus: Melee 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 31]
Meltalm flails around like he has never used a melee weapon before, but at least doesn't injure anyone.
Abomination: Melee Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 12]
Abomination: ¡¡ Grasping Tentacles (M):, ¡¡ Grasping Tentacles (M): [18d6 = 67]
Volmalric: Yes, I was wondering for you specifically, I apologize if I wasn't clear
The Sludge Monster sends out a huge number of tentacles to attack the Scholar-King, who doesn't notice the attack and continues to eat popcorn while looking at Volmalric.
Slumbara picks up the sludge monster and shoves it into the mouth of his tuba
Slumbara: Athletics 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 17]
Meltam Perandus: I have an idea!
Meltam Perandus: Survival Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 19]
Feneril (Slumbara): depends on how badly he rolls in the next round
Volmalric does a double-take
Delia: I'm not entirely sure what is going on, but this is getting bizarre. I'm going to hold my action and eat chocolate.
Slumbara: Discipline 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 36]
Slumbara: Resistance 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 30]
Volmalric keeps half an eye on Slumbara, while waiting for the Scholar-King's response
Scholar-King: I have heard of the people you speak of. You might meet one or more of them in the near future.
Meltam Perandus gestures towards the fire.
The Sludge Monster squishes down into a stream and goes down the tuba where it believes it will be safer, and begins oozing out the mouthpiece like a stream of molasses coming out a spigot.
Slumbara: Observation 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 29]
Slumbara Slumbara runs over to Meltam's fire and holds the tuba over the fire, then blows into the mouthpiece with all his might
Slumbara: Athletics 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 28]
Volmalric: Hmmm, were they people you worked with in the past?
Volmalric watches the spectacle with interest
The Sludge Monster is forcibly ejected into the fire, where it catches fire as soon as it touches the flames and sends a burning column of fire up the tuba. Slumbara notices this is bad at the point where his face catches fire.
Delia runs towards the nearby stream to get water to douse Slumbara.
Slumbara dives face-first into the dirt to put out the fire
Volmalric quickly checks into his bag to check for something that can help with the fire
Feneril (Slumbara): Unless Slumbara was playing a low F, there are also all the finger holes
Kazemi (Volmalric): (and the burns
Meltam Perandus attempts to cork the burning tuba.
Volmalric: Alchemy 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 21]
Meltam Perandus: This beast will fall to our 'sound' plan after all!
Scholar-King: Well, this has been rather amusing, relative to what I was expecting.
Scholar-King: You shall definitely provide me with considerable amusement as you try to deal with my annoyance.
Volmalric: Tell me about it.
Volmalric: Slumbara! I think I found something that'll probably put your face out! The fire on it, I mean!
Scholar-King: Past, future, yes, those are people I have dealt with. Time is rather fluid when you exist outside of it.
Slumbara: I am glad you are talking about it instead of applying it to my burning face
Meltam Perandus: Slumbara, this is a chance to have an awesome scar. Think of it as trade-stock in being a goon....er hired muscle.
Volmalric: Healing 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 26]
Meltam Perandus: Counsel 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 16]
Scholar-King: Good luck, don't die like all the others!
There is a flash of blue light.
The three of you (and Delia) land face first in a pile of soft sand. The scorching rays of what feels like a desert sun beats mercilessly down on you.
Delia: Uhh... my head hurts.
Slumbara: Tell me about it, my face caught fire
Volmalric: So does Slumbara's face, I imagine. Get it out of the sand, it's going to be impossible to clean here
Slumbara: I felt like Michael Jackson on the set of Thriller
Delia: I'm not even sure where we are, I remember being on a boat, and then talking to some strange four-armed ghost thingy, and now here. I assume there are some blank spots in my memory again?
Slumbara: I could try slapping you again
Delia: I don't remember being slapped the first time, but I'm good, no need to get physical.
Delia checks her backpack to verify she still has "stuff" needed to be transported.
Slumbara: too bad, Slumbara likes to get physical in more ways that one
Slumbara: Persuade 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 15]
Delia: Maybe later big guy, when we have some privacy.
Meltam Perandus: I mean, what's more romantic than being marooned on a island with no way to escape, all while grocery shopping for various bits of magical creatures?
Volmalric: Being marooned in a desert with no water nor way to escape?
Volmalric: Observation Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 27]
Slumbara: Survival 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 9]
Volmalric is still focused on trying to apply the balm to Slumbara's face
Kazemi (Volmalric): The balm burns
Slumbara: assessing the survivability of this place
Slumbara: Discipline 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 21]
Slumbara: Slumbara feels no pain
Slumbara: This place is harsh, but do not despair
You appear to be in a desert of rolling sandy dunes, near a ruined road marked with flagstones. Ruined buildings can be seen in the distance to the... north... you are guessing. It is bright overhead, but you actually do not see the sun.
Campaign saved.
