META: Presuming Toots in aboveboard about her finding, what are the odds of Tommary the Unworthy realizing that a bag of holding and portable hole may be the singularity singular pairing he may need if he finds the etherum crystals serving as a reactor core for the mountain? Arcana 8
OOC: I'm pretty sure some time back Tommary internal monologued some note about once helping some trade unions send a flaming ship into some ships importing goods from elsewhere, arguably benefitting the local economy. When assigned the investigation of his own terrorist activity, he for once did not look in the mirror but looked the other way. Are these the folks whose ships he burned down back in the day? You know, in case Tommary gets loose lipped at the after party or before party...
EDIT: evidently Tommary can't find his way out of bag of holding thrown into a portable hole.
OOC: Presuming Northern Fire raps Toots firmly across the knuckles and informs us of the dangers of Holeception...
IC: "...all right. Suppose we got business in that mountain anyways. Elyona or I can hang onto this shiny. If ya give us a description for th' weapons you're lookin' for? Then as long as they're not the things Cliffside sent us t' get, an' I'm pretty sure by now they're not, if we spot 'em we can leave 'em with the door. Gotta admit...th' thought'a havin' an instant out from that place whenever we really need it's pretty nice," Ilyara said. "Presumin' we can set up th' door an' use it more-or-less freely, or is it a once-a-whenever sorta thing? Or something we shouldn't be usin' regularly? Strikes me that even though it's gotta come back t' you here on our own six feet, no reason we can't be usin' it to pop in for resupply and pointers as needed. Since th' team who had it 'fore us didn't seem t' use it that way, presumin' in turn there's limitations on th' door?"
"Just to be clear, the agreement is that if you find them or clues to where they might be, you will deliver them to me. If you cannot, just the return of the door will be sufficient."
Ilyara looked over the scrolls, confirming that none of the weapons matched the description she'd been given of any of Cliffside's artifacts. When she was certain enough of that fact, she nodded. "Fair enough. One handy magic artifact an' a resupply in exchange for a magic door an' any clues we might turn up on these things. Seems like a reasonable start t' me. Any objections? Any sane objections, mind?" Ilyara asked, turning a gimlet eye back to Toots & Boots.
"I will debate whether the existence of objects in my or anyone else's possessions constitute the demonstration of a rational or irrational universe when that gaze sobers up, Ily. Otherwise, sure, let's take down that mountain. Also I want something stiff to carry back in my flask, or I'm taking part of breakfast and making pruno out of it. Toots will help me speed up the process somehow with her razzle dazzle. Your gaze needs sobering, I said nothing of mine."
Ganghan Bul nods, then waits while you get yourselves packed and ready.
You are lead back to the study where you see a giant of a human in light gear with flaming red hair. "This is Rosso Hale," The Duke gestures and Rosso bows to you, "He will also be accompanying you to the mountain. Be assured he is a trusted employee of mine and will aid in your venture."
OOC: WELCOME BACK ECHOLON !
When you indicate readiness, the doors are opened and you feel the baking heat and the wave of sulfur swamp stink wash over you. "May the Fire guide your hands and see your safe return."

"Got it, Ross, your effects are special. I'm Tommary."Tommary the Unworthy takes a belt of whatever he snuck into his flask from Duke Bul's special reserve and files in.
Whether Duke Bul knows about Tommary's tapping of said reserve sleight of hand: 24
EDIT: So never mind the flask, I guess Tommary got a couple of bottles of the good stuff. If you don't give the man a party, he'll find a way to have his own.
Elyona smiles up at Rosso: "I'm Elyona, a follower of Arvoreen. I was formerly a blacksmith, but now I am a Waywatcher and a defender of the the innocent and the abused, whether that be people or nature. Good to have you with us, Rosso. I freely pledge that I will not touch your belongings without your express permission." To the others she says, "So, where do you think we should look for these other relics?"
“Hiya Rosso. My name’s Toots. Keep yer grubby mitts offa my stuff an’ I’ll do the same for yours. By the way, you are really tall.” Toots turns to Ilyara: “We gonna call this one ‘Too tall Boots,’ or ya got somethin’ better?”
"Yahey there, Rosso," Ilyara said, sweeping a low, elaborate performer's bow. "Ilyara Thundertale, Waywatcher of Cliffside. I'll never say no t' trustworthy reinforcements for dealin' with this piss-miserable mountain. Let's see what kinna mischief we can find ourselves up to, shall we?" the colorful furling offered by way of greeting before turning back to their task.
OOC: Reminder to Wysperra that Ilyara asked Ganghan about the limitations of the magic door they're retrieving, back in #4184. Was there any answer?
You find yourselves once again on a small stone outcrop above a flowing river of lava. You think to yourself it couldn't possibly have been this hot and smelly the last time you were here.
The door fits easily into the magic hold.
How will you cross over the 40 feet of open space to get back to the rest of the bridge?

"Tootsie flew us over as a great big flying feathered serpent," Ilyara responded. "Which is probably how we're gettin' back. Yeesh...even after just one night in a real bed, this place sucks harder'n ever," she grunted, surveying the room to see if anything had moved in while they'd been out.
{20 Perception, if it matters. Also going to put the Portable Hole on Ilyara's sheet for now and start tracking the crud in it, but if Elyona decides she wants to hold onto it instead I'll relinquish it without issue. As for a name for the doors...Door of Distant Journies, perhaps? It's not quite a Door to Nowhere, those are a specific thing at least for me, but...hm. Could be as easy as a Traveling Door, perhaps?}

The Duke summons a glowing mote and whispers to it. Within a few minutes, a set of scrolls is delivered by the same mouseling girl.
When the silk ties are undone, and the scrolls unravelled, they give information of three powerful weapons:
Wave

Blackrazor

I could honestly use help naming the thing as the DERP suggestion came from an elementary school kid.
