Session 134: Balistar is Back

The entity known to you since your time adventuring together as Balistar was awake, going by the name of Boreas, a name you later found out he had gone by during a rather aggressive period in his long storied life. He went on the offensive. Rhys however was able to quell his rage before too much damage had been done and with his thanks for awakening and restoring him, Balistar offered you time to recover in his Citadel. As the wish spell had drained Bucky, you spent the next few days in rest and relaxation, a rare treat for The Lucky Seven. Bucky had a picture of herself at her current age commissioned from one of the Aaracockra and then with Kyrah’s help, had her age almost restored by Ezree. Bucky is still 6 years older than her natural age, but that’s still much better than being over twice as old as her natural age and any further attempts to deage her could very well send her back to puberty or earlier so she has decided to remain a 26 year old.

Your destination now became the Teejan Desert in order to find and recover the Book of Dyzan so that you may be better able to approach the eggs/shards of elemental evil and deal with The Prophets of Tharizdun and their followers.

From The Elemental Plane of Air, Gram transported the Charm and crew back to The Material Plane. Arriving in Thylea, you realized that even with a flying ship it would still take well over a month to reach the Teejan Desert. However there was a work around. Something the Explorer explained the nature of the world you were now on. A spherical mass amidst a seemingly endless sea of darkness and stars. By leaving the world, or planet as he called it, and exiting from its gravitational mass, The Charm would be able to reach incredible speeds allowing for you to get virtually anywhere on this world in a matter of hours. And so you explorers of the different planes of reality, for the first time, left your world, but not your plane as The Charm sailed into the heavens and beyond. From that endless night you were able to quickly chart a course back to your world and to the Teejan.

Arriving amidst the bone dry desert heat, Gram spotted two individuals working to revive a partially covered stone golem. It turned out to be a man and his grandson. In exchange for your help in reviving the golem, they agreed to lead you to the ziggurat you sought. But not in The Charm. The Grandfather, Shamir, felt strongly that the entity that ruled this desert, an ancient and powerful and cruel blue dragon known as Jarrok the Sky King would surely see such a large vessel. Gram had a personal history with Jarrok who took the lives of every member of Gram’s mercenary company on Gram’s first mission with them. Since then he has not been back to this desert. Although Jarrok is amongst the most powerful dragons of the world, Gram has every intent on ending Jarrok’s rain while here if given the chance. With the Charm disguised as a sand dune thanks to the magics of the crew's cook, Tuk, you set off traveling away from the setting sun into night.

Eventually coming upon some ruins you heard voices. When you went to investigate you found a trio of cyclops intent on eating several tied up humans. With the cyclops vanquished without The Lucky Seven even breaking a sweat and the people freed, we pick up now as you continue on your journey through the desert. The moon hangs high in the sky, nearly full.
