<H2> Session Summary </H2>
<H3> Parley </H3>
Thorfinn notes that this white dragon has a notch out of its fin.
Thorfinn's Legend Lore check: North of Cherek hold, there was a mated pair that didn't bother the Chereks. Then, the mate of the dragon went missing and the male went nuts--which is why the Cherek needed help against it.
The name of the dragon that went missing was Thelrime and she was an old white dragon and she went missing within this generation.
The metal parts of this dragon looks silvery in nature, possibly mithril. She has a construct right forelimb. The possibilities of what this dragon could be include: Mithril Half-Golem (Crazed) or Real Flesh Half-Golem.
<B>Round 1:</B> Travian moves closer to the golem. Deluwen moves to the side. Gulgun delays. Mirto readies an action to cast a Wall of Force.
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>Thorfinn:</B> You speak the tongue of the wyrms.
<B>Dragon:</B> Yes, all those who would learn great things learn the tongue. (Looks around) Where are the scaled ones and their bony master?
<B>Thorfinn:</B> I don't know.
<B>Dragon:</B> I smell them here. Or at least that they were here...
<B>Thorfinn:</B> Ah yes, I recall. The mighty and great Prince Donner defeated the scaled ones and drove them from here. The master is still alive and is known as the Lich King.
<B>Dragon:</B> Where? I had him?
<B>Thorfinn:</B> I believe he lairs in a place called the Gray Vales.
<B>Dragon:</B> You have the look of a northerner.
<B>Thorfinn:</B> Yes, and we all know of Fellrime and Icejaw.
<B>Fellrime:</B> How fares he?
<B>Thorfinn:</B> I...
<B>Fellrime:</B> Don't lie. I can see it.
<B>Thorfinn:</B> I believe he had gone crazed with your disappearance and had been preying on the Cherek and they had to defend themselves.
<B>Fellrime:</B> Does he live?
<B>Thorfinn:</B> I'm sorry to say that I believe he was slain.
<B>Fellrime:</B> (Looks incensed) I am about to kill you. Tell me why not.
<B>Thorfinn:</B> We work to defeat the one who imprisoned you and we know of a way to draw him out of his lair. He has a library in here that if violated, he seems likely to come. We have his phylactery that he may be defeated once and for all. But if you kill us now, we won't be able to retrieve it.
<B>Fellrime:</B> Close. You almost live. (Considers a moment) Can you revive the fallen?
<B>Thorfinn:</B> Not personally, but we know people who can.
<B>Fellrime:</B> Bring me Icejaw. If you do this, not only will you live, but we will wait the coming of the bony one and help you destroy him.
<B>Travian:</B> That seems fair to me.
<B>Fellrime:</B> You have traditions of loyalty, yes?
<B>Thorfinn:</B> Yes.
<B>Fellrime:</B> Very well, I will keep you and the fallen one. Go and bring one who can revive Ice Jaw to this place.
<B>Mirto:</B> Two huge ancient white dragons would be kind of useful against you know who.
<B>Deluwen:</B> Are you aware of the council of dragons?
<B>Fellrime:</B> Is that the palce we are now? This "Westmarch"? When this is over I shall leave. This place is too hot.
<B>Travian:</B> I don't know if he would come here to do it, but we will have to see.
<B>Thorfinn:</B> I can see where it would make sense because she could keep him in line after we resurrect him.
<B>Fellrime:</B> Perhaps this individual would be interested in sparing your life.
<B>Travian:</B> This might take a while.
<B>Thorfinn:</B> (Looks worried) Hurry, I don't know how much patience she has.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
While Thorfinn and Fellrime wait for Travian's return. Thorfinn and Fellrime discuss much. For Thorfinn, the most uncomfortable moment is when, Fellrime asks in great detail about who was involved in defeating Icejaw ("Tell me more of this Wudge."). After she is done questioning him, he tells him of her imprisonment. The Lich King went with his scaly minions to her lair. He immobilized her and imprisoned her. Wherever she was imprisoned, she was held by magical bonds. He operated on her while she was alive and magically held. The operations were excruciatingly painful and took many months. During that time, she listened to conversations. He was attempting to turn into a half golem under his control. So, she feigned insanity and the Lich King was forced to imprison her.
<H3> Help from Hades </H3>
In the meantime, Mirto teleports Deluwen and Travian to Kennetar.
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>Deluwen:</B> I should check in with Kellian. I suppose you can handle the rest.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
In Kennetar, it looks there have been changes since the party was last in town. The Protectorate continues to man the walls, but there are many more of them. On the streets, it appears as though the Imperium is doing constabulary detail.
At they near the temple of Hades, all the street constables are Hades templars. They appear to largely control the rich areas. Travian decides to head to the Athena temple. From the outside, there doesn't appear to be much Athena influence on the street. Inside the church, there are a bunch of Athena templars around.
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>Travian:</B> I'm looking for Archbishop Malus.
<B>Malus:</B> (Steps forward--wearing full armor) I'm here.
<B>Travian:</B> What's going on here?
<B>Malus:</B> For some time now, Hades has been somewhat lax in his duties. He's been a bit free to allow those to return from his realm. Large numbers of the fallen have returned to this land, only to enter the service of the temple. Ostensibly, the reason is to go into the Gary Vales and defeat the Lich King. With Saint Morbius around, I believe they intend to do so. However, their influence has grown quite a bit. I have to say that I'm glad that the Protectorate is here, lest their influence grow.
<B>Travian:</B> How did the Imperium come to so much power so quickly?
<B>Malus:</B> The Imperium is not one to miss a trick. They offered their services as policemen. There are those in the Protectorate who worried enough about the Hades' temple influence that they agreed. Half was decided to be guarded by the Imperial Garrison and half guarded by the Hades templars.
<B>Travian:</B> I see.
<B>Malus:</B> Personally, I think things will come to a head soon. I think both the Imperial Consulate and the temple of Hades wish to become the preeminent ruling force over Kennetar.
<B>Travian:</B> So that's why you are armed?
<B>Malus:</B> Yes, but we are not expected to tip the balance one way or another. We dislike both the temple of Hades and the Imperium. However, we are not yet powerful enough to force either of them to back down. However, wisdom dictates that we should be prepared.
<B>Travian:</B> What other news?
<B>Malus:</B> Things seem calmer on the Plateau. Word has reached us of Prince Donner and his desire to become King of the West. I think that some proof of the safety of the open space on the Plateau. I think many citizens would leave and set up greener pastures elsewhere. And I think we've done generally done well in the provincial areas. Especially with you sitting and Prince Donner's right hand if you will. So that's the short of it. How have things fared outside the walls?
<B>Travian:</B> Very complex as usual.
<B>Malus:</B> Any word on when the lower kingdoms will unite and send a proper army up here to establish a proper Kingdom of the West?
<B>Travian:</B> I'm afraid I don't know. I expect that Donner is progressing as quickly as possible.
<B>Malus:</B> I suspect however, that you will not tame the independent spirit of the west until the King of the West sits on the throne of Parthenel. That would go a long way towards earning the allegiance of everyone in this region.
<B>Travian:</B> I have a couple issues of more immediate need. Prince Donner sent us on various missions in the Westmarch. The current one is to protect one of the villages near the Parapets from unwanted Imperial incursion. In doing so we've been trying to figure out a way to do that. We went to Blackvault in the hopes of finding a means of... (Tells the rest of what he's encountered so far)
<B>Malus:</B> Interesting. So, your thought is that you could best defeat the Lich King of fighting evil with evil.
<B>Travian:</B> Yes, although I do not relish the idea of working with evil.
<B>Malus:</B> There is great wisdom is setting two of your foes against one another. That's simple wisdom of battle. The key is that when that battle is complete, it is up to you to settle things properly. It is likely that the victor can be redeemed, then the battle is over. If not, then you must destroy that evil. However, from what you say your ability to destroy either one
 You need not feel bad as you would have done no better than fighting. There is no shame or foolishness (risk, but no deliberate evil). It is up to each of us to determine the wisdom of our own actions--I only give you my advice.
<B>Malus:</B> Did you come only for advice?
<B>Travian:</B> Well, not just that. In order to get on the good side of Fellrime and enlist her aid, we need to get her mate brought back to life.
<B>Mirto:</B> The dragon is holding some of our companions hostage.
<B>Malus:</B> That is consistent with how they operate. I would suggest that you do your best to uphold your part of the bargain.
<B>Travian:</B> I assume we have no such resources here.
<B>Malus:</B> To do raise a dragon... That requires great power--power greater than I command. I know only of a few. Certainly, Saint Morbios does. He has done so in the past. Father Cullaim of the village of Home and I believe there is an Imperial agent in this region that has that power as well. There is a priest of Apollo who follows the lead of the Consul as well. I have not discerned his motives. There may be others with this power, but word has not reached my ears.
 Certainly, we have that power at the command of the Protectorate. There are scrolls and devices that are capable of doing so, but those are generally kept in reserve against the fall of the city.
<B>Travian:</B> I knew of those three, but I wanted to see if there were others. I am leery of going to the Hades temple because of their current level of power.
<B>Malus:</B> Saint Morbios is good to his word and it would be in service to his goals. Given that it would be interested in finding powerful allies in his battle against the Lich King, you may have a bargaining point. For example, you may not require that he not ask for the service of those he raises. He is a stickler for details and contracts and will abide by them. Given this opportunity to cause harm to being that he hates so much, you may have the chance to get the dragon raised with little chance error.
<B>Travian:</B> Can anyone here do a Sending?
<B>Malus:</B> I can easily do it. To whom do you need a message sent?
<B>Travian:</B> I would ask Estus for his help.
<B>Malus:</B> I could certainly do that. But you could also just walk over to the temple of Hades first.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Travian and Mirto leave the temple of Athena and head towards the temple of Hades. Before they even reach the temple, they can see it from a distance. Apparently, the temple of Hades has been spending quite a bit of its newfound wealth on renovation. There is a new tower and third story on the temple. The temple also appears to be in nearly pristine condition.
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>Priest:</B> How can I help you today? Conversion? Change of heart?
<B>Travian:</B> My heart is fine thank you.
<B>Priest:</B> Pity. Travian, it is good to see you in our house. Someone injured, dead perhaps?
<B>Travian:</B> You could say that?
<B>Priest:</B> Raise Dead, Resurrection. Door on the left.
<B>Mirto:</B> I think we'd like to talk to someone in charge.
<B>Priest:</B> Anyone in particular?
<B>Mirto:</B> Well, Saint Morbios.
<B>Priest:</B> For Travian, I think he'll be available. I'll ask him right away. Enjoy the complementary skull cookies.
<B>Priest:</B> And may I inquire what might interest Saint Morbios?
<B>Travian:</B> I may have a powerful ally in his battle against the Lich King.
<B>Priest:</B> I'll let him know. (Leaves. Comes back.) Yes, he would like to see you in his chambers. This way...
</BLOCKQUOTE>
The priest leads him past a dark iron door bound in onyx. As he enters the tower, it looks militarily solid, architecturally beautiful, creep factor off the charts. It looks to be made of obsidian and basalt. It feels very cave-like--almost Hades like. He takes Travian down into some natural cavern about 100' below. It appears as though this cavern is outside the bounds of Kennetar.
He enters a chamber and it looks like a meeting is just concluded. And Saint Morbios is sitting at the end table. Morbios is draped in gold and jewels.
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>Travian:</B> Hello.
<B>Morbios:</B> Excellent, come in.
<B>Travian:</B> Thank you.
<B>Morbios:</B> We speak at last. You say you have an ally for me.
<B>Travian:</B> Yes, it is currently not living.
<B>Morbios:</B> Many of my allies come to me this way. So, how do I acquire this ally.
<B>Travian:</B> We have run across somebody who has been slighted by the Lich King and would like serious revenge. This being is living, but her mate is not. Her partner would also enjoy taking the same revenge.
<B>Morbios:</B> This entity. Is she likely to be dangerous?
<B>Travian:</B> She is an old, half golem, white dragon.
<B>Morbios:</B> I see. Well, this has potential. Very powerful. Well, what do I do?
<B>Travian:</B> She would like revenge, but she will only help if her mate is brought back to life.
<B>Morbios:</B> And who is this partner, another dragon?
<B>Travian:</B> Yes, another large menacing type.
<B>Morbios:</B> I would need to know details.
<B>Travian:</B> I do know a couple of the details. The dragon wanted the resurrection performed in front of her.
<B>Morbios:</B> And where is she?
<B>Travian:</B> Blackvault.
<B>Morbios:</B> Blackvault? Hmmm...you will have to give me some time to prepare. Do you expect she will strike the Lich King immediately or will there be some triggering event.
<B>Travian:</B> I believe that they do not know how to get to the Lich King.
<B>Morbios:</B> And that's your hold on her. Very well played.
<B>Mirto:</B> I suspect that she's going to want us to go kick over his little ant hill right away.
<B>Morbios:</B> Well, that wouldn't be difficult. He doesn't like Travian very much.
<B>Mirto:</B> Indeed.
<B>Morbios:</B> Very well, I will assist you in this if you keep me intimately informed of your progress. I want to know immediately when you engage him. There are things that can be done to hamper him. And most importantly, I can destroy his phylactery immediately after his destruction. Well, you see it takes quite a few recruits to equal one half golem dragon. I believe this is the opportunity that I've been waiting for so long. Yes, I will do this, and I will not charge you for it.
<B>Travian:</B> I do believe that the dragon requires it's free will instead of service to Hades.
<B>Morbios:</B> This time I will bring him back with no preconditions. You realize that during the battle, they may die. If so, we may offer a new deal in that situation.
<B>Travian:</B> I can understand that.
<B>Morbios:</B> If this happens before the Lich King is destroyed. In this case, there may be other arrangements being made. You may have heard other things from others about what our likely goals are.
<B>Travian:</B> I've heard some things here and there.
<B>Morbios</B> It's a simple bargain. We provide the holy power of Hades. His largesse allows souls to return to the land of the living. And all he demands is a better opportunity for their second life.
<B>Morbios:</B> Now I must insist that you keep me intimately informed on your progress.
<B>Travian:</B> And how shall we do this?
<B>Morbios:</B> Well, several of my agents take devices that allow them to communicate. It allows you to communicate with me or anyone you know several times per day. It's a simple pendant that uses standard priestly magic. It allows you to do at least a half-dozen Sendings per day. And incidentally, in the spirit of honesty, I do know where each of these devices is at all times. I have no additional information, but I have its location. However, that is enough that our wizards can send us there with a certain amount of risk.
<B>Travian:</B> I see...
<B>Morbios:</B> Now I understand your hesitation in dealing with me but let me state that you and I are in complete agreement. The Lich King must be destroyed and in such a way that he cannot be reformed. I must destroy the phylactery literally within minutes of the destruction of his physical form.
<B>Travian:</B> And you know how to destroy this?
<B>Morbios:</B> Yes, with the phylactery it contains a link to his soul. If you destroy his body, his soul is momentarily in this phylactery. If he has prepared his body in advance, he will rejoin with the new body quickly.
<B>Travian:</B> And what did you have to do in order to gain the ability to destroy his phylactery?
<B>Morbios:</B> We have been informed of certain powerful destructive magics to be uncovered. We have the means to destroy the phylactery now. We have reason to believe that you and your companions to destroy the phylactery as well. We have divinatory assurances in this regard.
 When you tell me has fallen, I will send a message to our team. They will only destroy the phylactery on my direct orders. This is important, when you tell me he has fallen--be right. I suggest that you use magical means that it is exactly Vorn Kalak that has been destroyed.
<B>Morbios:</B> I would like to ask a favor in return. The temple of Hades is much in favor of the return of the King of the West. We would be pleased to have Donner as King and have him back on the throne of Parthenel. His family has been tolerant of the temple in the lowlands and we would very much like to be his proper servants. And he may count on our help against the Imperium.
<B>Travian:</B> Have you and the Imperium been at odds recently?
<B>Morbios:</B> Yes, the consul here and I do not see eye to eye. He and I have a difference in opinions. I will be quite pleased when he and his lackeys are cast out by the King of the West. I wish you well and I would appreciate you being discreet in what you have seen here. I wanted to show you what we have done and show you how much we trust you.
<B>Travian:</B> One more thing. We do have a fallen comrade in our service.
<B>Morbios:</B> Reasonably intact?
<B>Travian:</B> Yes.
<B>Morbios:</B> Died within the day?
<B>Travian:</B> Yes.
<B>Morbios:</B> Done.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Deluwen head to the library. Once there, he reports into Kellian.
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>Deluwen:</B> (Tells about the past few adventures)
</p>
<B>Kellain:</B> Interesting, that means he's been travelling around recently.
</p>
<B>Deluwen:</B> Yes, he appears more obsessed.
<B>Kellian:</B> Becoming more expansionist is an unusual trait. Usually, any Lich is focused on a single goal. There are even some good-aligned liches on other planes who exist primarily to defend their own people. This indicates that some change has taken place.
<B>Deluwen:</B> It appears as though he knew of this phase.
<B>Kellian:</B> There may have been some connection with the Archvampire and his destruction. Our conversations with Prince Donner have led us to believe that Tenseval Taine was tempted to become Varn Kalak. It may now be some hold that is now gone.
<B>Deluwen:</B> So, Sarin tempted him with becoming a lich and deceived him with what he would be doing.
<B>Kellian:</B> And it may be that he is moving towards becoming an Arch-Lich.
<B>Deluwen:</B> I haven't heard of this.
<B>Kellian:</B> It's theoretically possible. Once one was to become one but it's unlikely. They would be near godlike--having minions and followers such that they no longer need to manipulate events directly.
 However, they are free willed and will use the power to extend their life. That is why mortals become liches. As I said, it's a theoretical concept--the materials, the rituals, and so on are all very rare.
<B>Deluwen:</B> I'll look for that coming to fruition.
<B>Kellian:</B> One very strong indicator would be extreme resistance to mortal magics. I would take careful note of any extreme spell resistance.
<B>Deluwen:</B> I'm not sure how I would detect such an event.
<B>Kellian:</B> I would take note should some powerful mortal spellcaster have difficulty in affecting the Lich King, then he may be well along the path to Arch-Lichdom.
<B>Deluwen:</B> Yes, the most powerful wizard I've heard of so far is one Kill'Dar.
<B>Kellian:</B> I would say if the likes of Kill'Dar or Estus had difficulty, then it is possible that he has along the path to Arch-Lichdom. He would have to also go through a phase of Demi-Lichdom. This is a very dangerous form. However, it is generally less mobile.
<B>Deluwen:</B> XXX
<B>Kellian:</B> I will say that Tenseval Taine invented the Shield Golem. So, Demilich state or advancing beyond that to the Archlich state. If he has godlike abilities, then yes. If he has detailed knowledge of events far from any means of scrying. Inability to be destroyed (instant reformation). These are all rumored. If you find out anything, do get that information back before you are destroyed.
<B>Deluwen:</B> Yeah, I'll try to do that...
<B>Kellian:</B> That reminds me, I have a package for you. I don't believe it's for your immediate use, but for future use. (Sends for a package).
<B>Deluwen:</B> (A package arrives carrying the elven royal seal--grey elf). I don't know what's in it, but I was only told to give it to you when you came.
<B>Deluwen:</B> No other instructions then?
<B>Kellian:</B> I was only told to deliver it to you.
<B>Deluwen:</B> I may not have time to open it anywhere else. (Opens the package. Inside are three enchanted bottles. Empty Iron Flasks. No explanation other than that.)
<B>Deluwen:</B> Now I can bring things back for show and tell rather than tell of those things. (Considers a moment) I don't suppose these would work on a Tarrasque.
<B>Kellian:</B> Well, they are ancient devices. The means of their construction has been lost. I have none seen to my knowledge that are of recent creation.
<B>Kellian:</B> If you need any of them delivered back home, bring them to me and I can arrange for it.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Meanwhile, back at the temple of Hades, Saint Morbios comes out after his preparations. He is dressed in plainclothes and a hooded cloak.
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>Morbios:</B> I trust we will not be going into dangerous situation.
<B>Travain:</B> Uh...
<B>Morbios:</B> I'm kidding you. I did a Divination and Hades thinks it's a great idea.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3> Reunited </H3>
Morbios has two templars for protection. A wizard casts two spells and everyone is teleported.
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>Morbios:</B> (Assesses the situation. He sees the head of Fellrime sticking through a hole in the outside structure of Blackvault.) I see... Well, let's take care of this as quickly as possible--preferably before my protective magicks run out.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
As they enter the building, the dragon looks calmer and enjoying Thorfinn's stories.
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>Travian:</B> (Announces) We're back!
<B>Fellrime:</B> So, you have brought back company.
<B>Morbios:</B> Greetings, feared Fellrime.
<B>Fellrime:</B> So, you are to bring back my mate.
<B>Morbios:</B> Yes, oh noble one. To demonstrate my power. (Begins chanting--Mandos is resurrected).
<B>Fellrime:</B> (Appears more interested)
<B>Morbios:</B> And now for you. (To Thorfinn) Ask for details about her mate.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Morbios hams up the resurrection of Icejaw for a bit, but within a few minutes, another white dragon shows up alive and raging. Mirto throws up a Wall of Force. The dragon breathes on Mirto's Wall of Force and ice flies everywhere. Fellrime grabs Icejaw by his throat and throws him on his back--he is immediately mollified.
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>Fellrime:</B> You know who says to attack.
<B>Icejaw:</B> Yes dear.
<B>Fellrime:</B> You have done what you said. You all live. Now, how do we bring the bony one to me?
<B>Thorfinn:</B> He has a library below that he is extremely protective of.
<B>Morbios:</B> Unfortunately, I am not equipped to deal with this problem. I will await word from you on your progress. (Disappears with his two templars.)
</BLOCKQUOTE>
The dragons and the rest of the party discuss their next options. It appears as though most of the party will need some rest to regain powers used in the earlier battle.
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>Fellrime:</B> We must feed.
<B>Travian:</B> We'd ask that you leave the nearby village unmolested.
<B>Fellrime:</B> You have been very, very respectful. (Considers) We will respect your wishes for a day.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
The next day the proceed down to the golden door. The party gets down to the landing. Where there was one door, there are now three doors: one silver, one black, and the original brass door. Deluwen look around with See Invisible and there is an Ethereal Door on the ceiling.
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>Fellrime:</B> Is this where he lies?
<B>Travian</B> Last time, there was one single door. One of these doors might lead to the space that is his library. The one thing we do know is deep inside here is a machine that controls these surroundings. Once we find it we may learn more about this place.
<B>Fellrime:</B> The fool! He gave me immunity to his spells! Which door led to his sanctum?
<B>Travian:</B> Last time it was the brass door.
<B>Fellrime:</B> Very well (punches with mithril hand--several spells go off but do not appear to affect her.)
</BLOCKQUOTE>
The party debates a bit before running in. The dragons seem to have already defeated one stone golem. They are still mixing it up with three other golems and the party comes in just as 4 spectres are attacking the dragons, which Travian dispels.
At the far end of the library a group teleports in: 2 Iron Golems, 4 Shield Golems, and 3 Skeletal Figures. Using See Invisible, Deluwen also sees another Skeletal Figure and a larger golem (Deluwen identifies it as a Mithril Golem).
From one of the figures, the group hears a whispery voice say: "Excellent"
<H2> Foes Fought </H2>
