Waterbrick Down

The runes are unfortunately broken up and difficult to tell what they once meant, but their arrangement leads Lind to believe that the planer nature of the spell may come from a realm far removed from this one or any upon Olegaia. The black knight figures that he still might be able to figure out which are the correct runes with a little logic.

QM Note: Smoke Bomb or job traits.

"The demon's toady just left with the news, using that spell circle," The fairy indicates the runes still glowing upon the ground. "Rosier won't be able to get them directly, my Love. The demon's forces will need to use a door and there's only one available to them on Olegaia." "Then you need to stop them." "Pereville..." "You need to go, Euflear. Our home is now decaying, the only hope for our culture is the survival of our people. My life is not worth all of theirs." Euflear, looks on, trembling slightly. QM Note: Sorry about that, the fairy denied the healing so I didn't want to deduct the ether from you. "I've got to assume Olegaia," *cough* "though I'm not sure which of those runes he used. He was uttering a little ditty while he left *cough* "The rune translated loon is beneath the silver rune And the rune that stands for paper is between the red and blue If the green's beside the brass, and below one colored pink And the rune describing crop is right above one translated mink And the purple's in the center and the blue is on the right, And the rune meaning powerful is left of one that means might If the blue and red and green have no meaning and are boring, And the rune meaning strength is at the top, and the might's above the crop, And the brass is at the bottom, and the red's beside the brass, And the rune describing loon is the rune shaded pink, Then you will know the answer, for you are no buffoon Trace two runes colored gold, in Olegaia you'll be soon" As the party glances at the runes, they note that they are all aligned in a 3x3 grid: XXX XXX XXX But the symbols and colors have been so distorted and smeared over that the runes' meanings and colors cannot be identified. How will the party proceed? QM Note: In order to solve the puzzle and gain experience send a PM indicating which two runes are the golden runes. Nothing remains of even the parts that Pretzel had disassembled. "You all need to go after Rosier's servant. We'll gather the rest of the fairies that remain, and meet you on Olegaia. Eubric Freeport, right?"

The party works together, Petaldan, Boomingham, Germ, and Torald lending their experience and slowly trace the runes 18-15-19-9-5-18 20-8-5 19-5-4-21-3-20-9-22-5, each of the symbol illuminates and the barrier begins to pulse before suddenly disintegrating. The body of the oracle rolls over and the veteran starts awake. "What? Who? Where?"

QM Note: Damage for Dyric = ((150+60)/4)-6 = 46.5 Damage, I also noted that I forgot the Prophet's hastened damage, so Torc is also down.

QM Note: Sorry folks, this round was a long one to run (2 hrs) The Party clashes with the newly arrived enemy forces as the sounds of the melee echo up and down the streets of Eubric. Leona duels with the Town Watch inspector as the archangel once more utters a holy command before finally dissipating from the battlefield. The High Guard take up a defensive position, but the enemy ballista still seem trained on their targets. The Lion Knight Skirmishers once more pull their shields forward to form a protective wall, sheltering the Party from devastating hits. Atramor tosses his critical scroll over to Matthias who begins his chant of the mesmerizing incantation. At last the Arrogate is pulled over to the heroes side as Bellanotte continues her Lucky Chant. Dyric brings down the two Town Watch snipers with expertly placed crossbow bolts and deals considerable damage to his other targets. Torc scoops up the party and rains down death from above along the enemy line. Hoke stays aboard and prepares for a leaping attack as Althior lets loose a fire ball into the midst of the paladin forces. The Town Watch and Paladin troops begin to close in on the heroes and the group begin to be overwhelmed by the sheer number of enemy combatants. Dyric goes down, a lion knight archer is killed, and even Torc takes a lance to the side. The party now find their backs to the wall of the hovels allowing them a chance to escape during the next turn behind the security of the district.

QM Note: Since this seems to require a more collaborative approach, feel free to post in this thread and anyone who contributes to the solution will get XP. Germ seems to be on the right path and Petaldan's input seems to have the first part of the pattern correct.

"Well met Karie, yes it is indeed a shock to hear such news. I should accompany you back to Eubric. I would know who is bringing dishonor upon my beloved companions." The manual details the inner workings of the dark druid's machine and how it extract Fairy Dust from the bodies of the Fae folk. There are instructions for disabling the machine, but... Pretzel intuitive recognizes the nature of the machine and without even the manual disables its workings and is able to disconnect the fairy from the device. The leftover parts yield an Ether Core and a grating stone. The knife and syringe do not seem significant. *Cough* "Don't... don't bother." *Cough* "Not worth the effort I'm afraid," The face brightens slightly at the sight of Euflear but darkens again. "Pereville..." "My love, I'm sorry. I couldn't hold out" *Cough* "I told him... I told him where our folk escaped to... I wasn't strong enough." Euflear's face grimaced with sorrow and anger. "..." Kiray finds among the shelf: 2 Grand Potions 2 Grand Tonics 2 Remedies 2 Phoenix Essences 6 Jars of Fairy Dust

The 18 illuminates stronger, but after the blank the runes dim to their normal state. The same thing happens when Germ passes over the 4 after the 18. It would seem that the 18 is the first rune in the pattern.

Benji pries open the door, inside the prophet discovers a small closet and: 2 Grand Potions 1 Phoenix Essence A small manual detailing the workings of some sort of machine Euflear stands for a moment utterly shocked. "No, you must be mistaken... you couldn't have seen them... Landura, I was with her when she died, surrounded by her numerous progeny. Wanderburg, he was killed in battle along with his tribe repelling invaders from the Helvetian Sea riding a gigantic sea serpent. Rolandar, passed away quietly, he found solace in the undead city of Fellcrest, a place where no one feared death or paid him to escape it. Yuliana and I adventured all throughout Dastan and I swore that upon her death, I would watch over her children. I am ashamed that I forsook my responsibility until only recently and now... it would seeem... I still failed her. Untergang, the poor fool, I should have been there that day... should have been at his side while he battled the dark angel. I bore with him through his madness, he even dwelt here for a time and was calmed by our Fae powers, but in the end I saw him laid to rest back in Titaan." "The archdemon Rosier, for years she and her dark druids warred with my people. She feeds upon our very essence and grows stronger and more terrible by consuming it. For ages she was bound to the Lost Forest upon your plane, but she was somehow freed and able to regain a physical form and with her new found strength able to overwhelm our defenses. Her poison spread throughout the Fae and while some of the Fairy escaped, others such as myself were captured and our very being harvested. I am unsure for how long I have been under, do you believe Rosier is still here?" "We're going to find out real quick." The party ascends the steps to the upper level of the tower and are only greeted with a laboratory of sorts. On the ground a circle surrounded by runes still glows dimly. Within the laboratory a suffering figure is stretched upon a rack, his body hooked to some sort of machine.

Germ finds most of the huts to be primitive and nothing more of value to be found, except for another vial of Pixie Dust. "I think the girl means figuratively and yes, I believe you may be on to something. Perhaps if these letters were replaced with some sort of letters..." QM Note: Not sure what you mean by more fitting for a video game.

"It looks like... it could be a cipher. You know, replace one thing with another."

QM Note: Profound Tactics, essentially means: 1/2 chance to take only regular damage from encouraged foes 1/2 chance their foes nimble effect doesn't work on rolls of Damage or Special Damage 1/2 chance their foes only get to roll once when Lucky instead of twice 1/2 chance their foes don't benefit from reinforcement and take double damage Correct, enemies are also affected by how Flanks work unless otherwise stated. QM Note: Just to provide some clarity around the Arrogate, they only take the negative effects dealt to allies (except instant KO, fixed as intended), not the attacks and damage themselves. For example if Hoke deals damage to Enforcer A the damage goes to Enforcer A, but all the negative effects go to the Arrogate.

QM Note: Sorry about that. Trying to keep 3 quests is really starting to get to me. "Well met Throlar." The fairy takes the Dwarf's hand to stand. "If the Faerie is in as sorry a state as it sounds, my people will have fled and the rotting flower would have followed them, even to Eubric. This tower... in its place once stood the testament to our creativity, to our passion, now it a husk, serving only to wrench that power from our very bones. We should ascend and then ensure its destruction." "But, my friend, your injuries." "Have no fear, Rinti, we travel in the company of heroes now." Benji spots a concealed stone door along one of the walls, nearly hidden within the shadows of the dungeon. "My race do not travel often to the other planes though they are quite capable, for there are none as mutable as this one. Olegia is not the only world and in my long years I have traveled the lands of many others. Seen civilizations that surpassed those of the Kingdoms of this world by far. I have what our people term, the Orn, the Wanderlust."

The Fey One gives a slight grin, "Would I tell you if I was?" The veteran straightens up with a slight bit of pain, but thanks to the paladin's nurturing he no longer looks on the verge of death. As the Fairy turns around, Throlar catches a glance of blood soaked stains on the Fey One's tunic where his wings should be. "Thank you Lind Whisperer, my name is Euflear, and I am indeed in your debt." The veteran bows to the heroes and to the other fairies who bow in return. "We had thought you dead, Far Traveler." "I very nearly was, I dreamed for so long. Nightmares... visions... the horror wrought upon my people and our land." "There is not much left of either I fear..." "Thank you youngling, I believe I can manage. Now, you can't complete a rescue without an escape, I assume you all..." The veteran winces from some healed wound. "have a plan for that?"

Luke finally casts his spell as the majority of the party surrounds the high cleric of Ennoc and nearly defeats the priest. Matthias ensures Bellanotte's ether reserves are upkept as the party dashes onward, the gates of the Hovels now within sight.
