OOC: Was the Tower scene intended for Xamodas or Ulrich?  I don't think Ulrich is in the tower.

Temple of Allycs:

"Nothing good! A couple coins and some strong drink! I'll be saving this for when we celebrate your official freedom!" I shout as I rush down the stairs, shaking the waterskin at him.

"There was something on the ceiling but its too high up to get a good look at it. What did you find down here?" 

Greenport:

Noldeme relaxes alone for a few minutes at the tavern. The next day would be long but so was the one she just had to endure. After that time has passed, she gives one sigh and walks up to her bedroom, paying the price for her own room and taking her long rest for the night.

Blackport > Corvetae...

"We have traveled only a couple of  hours from Blackport at this point."  Leshanna says, nodding to the group she is with.  Her eyes stay on the strange horse the man is riding.  "What may I ask is that?" She asks, giving the man a questioning look.

Nae thinks for a second “What do you want me for anyway? And what did you mean Noldeme has heard your voice? Why did you gift me powers? And...” Nae pauses for a second before asking her last question “Just who are you, what is your name?” Nae sits back with a hint of smugness towards the butterfly as she’s about to turn in for the night. She lays there in her bed with the butterfly on her palm awaiting its response.

 Fixed, no, Ulrich is not in the tower.

@Dordis, why are you rolling death saves? It's Zacharias that went down.

Death save: 8

Xamodas feels a strange sense of ease despite the vertigo.  Impossible architecture, grand expanses of sky, and the constant possibility of falling off the world?  Just like home.  He glances at the statue.  He feels the need to rest again, but this was not the place to do it.

"I suppose this is the reward the dwarf mentioned," 

He nods his respect briefly to the statue and reaches for the coffer.

Blackport - > Corvidae:

Leshanna:  "This.." the man explains  "Is the Prismacycle 209 Mark III, it can reach a top speed of over 400 kilometers per hour, I don't think I need to explain much more."  He points to your firearms.  "May I ask what are those?"

Temple of Allycs:

Yaw:  "Well, the hydra ravaged this place pretty good, so quite a bit a rubble, nothing even left of the cultists.  Nothing, I don't see anything..." he goes quiet after those words, sounding fairly solemn and hopeless.

"Hey!"  he calls out excitedly  "Hey, come help me, I think I found something, but I need some help lifting it!"

Greenport:

Noldeme:  You dream of a hero, a protector, someone who is revered by all.  Who has done countless deeds in the name of good.  You are atop a shining pedestal, a massive crowd of followers cheers, everyone loves them;  You are a face on the back of their head. 

You hear the CRACK of thunder in the distance, and are jolted awake, you have a headache, but it quickly fades.

Nae:  As you slowly drift to sleep, waiting for an answer, you hear "You ask what has already been answered"  

That night, you have that dream.  There is a titanic block of ice, and within, a warm light shining through it.  The ground is wet, the ice is melting and cracking.  The air grows warmer still.  You know, somehow, that is the light of a SOUL.  You move forward, forcibly compelled, and touch the ice again.  IT BURNS, YOUR WHOLE BODY GOES NUMB IN AN INSTANT

A MASSIVE CRACK FORMS WITH THE SOUND OF THUNDER.

Your jerked awake, the arm that touched the ice is still numb.  You either slept on it funny, or your dream was way more real than it felt.

Noldeme & Nae:  It seems today has started with a bout of rather poor weather, and it is storming outside.

The Tower - Level 1 - Stairway to Revelation:

Xamodas:  You reach inside the coffer.  Inside is a small portion your favorite food and drink, perfectly made and set.  There are also seven gold coins

Resolve -> Corvidae:

Zacharias has a massive gash gnawed out of him, and he is bleeding out as the demon sinks it's teeth into you.  With the taste of blood and death, it revels in horror it gnashes into your corpse with a shaking bite! Attack: 17 Damage: 18 

This is extraordinarly close!  Did Zacharias clasp onto his shield just as he went limp, barely being able to survive a lethal blow?  Or was it flung from his arm when the demon lunged at him?!  

The Aspect of Fate watches over all things, and when time collapses into a fraction of a moment of infite possibility, the only question is: "Heads (1) or Tails (2)"?

Regardless, Dordis, you are next...take your turn.

I guess I'm supposed to flip? 1

I guess I'm supposed to flip? 1

 And so, with a flip of a coin, snatched from the air and down on a palm, Fate moves aside it's veiled hand. 2

The End:

Zacharias: There is nothing.  You never thought there would be nothing.  Then, you realize, it is only dark.  A voice calls out, and you see a figure walk from the distance.  He is bare chested, injured, and his hands and feet are bound with red cord.  He limps, but without weakness, from the dark, and calls out.  "Zachrias?  Zacharias!  If it isn't one of my many favorite sons?  You must have met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"  His figure limps into view, and it is indeed Illmater.  "Hold on just a moment."  He takes on a loud heaving voice, as he shouts into the dark.  

"Hey, you, big man through the screen, enough with your trickery, you can't fool me with that bold text up there, change it!"

The End:

"Well, good enough.  My apolgies, child, sometimes there are times when even us who suffer in silence must speak up.  Now, come, walk with me, tell me of your journey so far, I shall show you the way.  Please, ask me any questions you have, I will gladly answer."

Jogs pulls down on the leftmost handle. 

Outer Corvidae 

Dordis Falthenfyern

Dordis sees Zacharias go down, and immediately jumps back to calm himself. He shakily raises his hand as he fires a bolt of celestial bodies once again towards the demonic entity while moving 30ft away from it. 

Guiding bolt to hit: 10; damage: 16

"Al! If you could provide some aid as of the moment, that would be worth my life for sure!"  Dordis says in a terrified tone as he backs away from the demon's grasp. 

Ulrich turns as John and Dula enter. "It appears we might not get that rest." He looks back at the man. "A deep breath, sir. Start with your name. Was it just this one creature that hunted you? How many are left?"

((Did the Archbishop talk via Send Message or was it some other way? How would I reach out to her or can I?))

Xamodas smiles, the first genuine grin he has cracked since arriving in this town.  Frescana tuna pate and nightshade wine.  Food was a pleasure he had nearly forgotten on the Astral Plane, but these simple joys brought him back to the material creche of his youth.  He tucks the tiny flask - enough for a swig or two, perhaps, in his pocket before popping the chunk of briny meat in his mouth.  He lets it sit there, the familiar, comforting taste marinating against his cheek while he pockets the coins as well and continues up.

Onwards.  Upwards.  This is no place to tarry, despite the treasure.

Blackport > Corvetae.

"This is a rifle."  Leshanna says holding up the weapon.  "It can shoot a small ball of metal out to strike things with great accuracy and power.

Clarification, 

((In terns of the area and movement, Dordis is roughly 40ft away from where Zacharias fell, and probably 30ft away from Al.))
