Dwarfland Missions

[carreraa8]

Hey.

So Jason the Good Looking Cleric has developed multiple personality disorder after being trapped in the No Mans plane for what for him was a year. As requested by Brent, I am listing all my personalities here so that DMs and everyone can know what to expect. Also, Jason is unaware of his mental illness (actually, no one in the world knows).

Lawful Good – Original Scholar
This is the original personality of Jason. He is a dangerously curious scholar who believes that by understanding the how the world works (both magically and scientifically) he will be able to make a bigger positive difference in the world. Whenever any new item, substance or information, Jason is eager to learn as much as he can about it – he believes even something commonly used for evil could be used for good. He is quite egotistical and overly confident in his abilities. In battle, he becomes a tactician and focuses on boosting his allies and vanquishing outsiders.

Chaotic Good - Humanitarian
This Jason is clever, ambitious good-heart person. He is not above lying and stealing, but never with bad intentions. He prefers to solve problems with discussion rather than violence, and will do anything in his power to help those in need. He focuses in helping as many people as possible and wants to be a positive force in the world.

True Neutral – Mad Scientist
This Jason has little interest in the when it comes to good vs evil, or law vs chaos, instead he is in constant pursuit of the “item”. The “item” is not a real thing, but Jason believes it exists. When asked about the “item” he will respond as though it is common knowledge without giving any details on what it is. He will gladly help his comrades, but that’s because it’s in his best interest to do so.

Brent, my character tries to find information on the black crystal of limbo in the library as well as ask arcane casters in the guide to help identify the item and its abilities. I already know it is a plane stabilizer but I don`t appear to be very good at using it.


 
Black Water
Will Save DC – 20
Reflex DC 20 – Neglect
If creature fails their Will save they start turning into an empty shell in a round. Another creature may attempt to cure the targeted creature using positive healing if they are trained in spell craft (DC 15 +1 per round). At DC 25 subject is dead. If Black Water is thrown, it has a 5ft splash effect with a Reflex save to dodge all droplets.

Black Water experiments
Since the guild has determined that the barrels themselves have the energy resistance (type pending on Brent) and it is known that the barrel can hold this substance, I`m going to do experiments inside my spare barrel.

1) Positive Energy – With the lid open I channel positive energy three times on ½ a flask's worth of black water. I then proceed to pour small amounts onto random garbage I’ve collected in my room ( aka broken wood, tin, rocks)

2) Research at local library – Knowing I was in the No Man Plane, I’m hoping something at the local library would be able to help.

3) Rat (common) test subject inside safe barrel – Will study the rat after each test(dead or alive)
a. One drop and let the rat get consumed
b. One drop and heal when half and try to heal it
c. One drop on tail and cut off the tail before it spreads
d. One drop on tail and cut off the tail after it spreads into the body

[Xenadrael]

Gaeis requests that you do research on the barrel as well and would like to know of any conclusive findings. He informs you that the barrel acts as a Negate Planar Effects and a Circle of Protection Against Chaos. Also, when you put a summoned chaotic creature within the barrel, it gets unsummoned.

[brent]

Crystal: anyone you talk to expresses a concern or dislike for your having one and recommends destroying it or giving it to someone trained in it's use. When pressed a few tell you that it alone doesn't create the pockets in limbo but acts as a catalyst. Then once created it acts as a conduit between the pocket and it's likeness on the material plane. It preserves planar effects of the material plane and can allow quick travel between the two planes. When you activated it, you successfully used it to get to the plane, but had no target in mind.

Black water experiments:
spellcraft dc is 15+1 per round since you came in contact with it. Once the DC reaches 25 the subject is dead.
1) if you make the spellcraft check, the positive energy negates the consuming properties of the liquid, turning it to a cloudy grey colour. When poured onto the objects it runs off as if it doesn't touch them until it gathers in a low pool.

2) Research on the topic gives you all the properties of limbo. here. Though you get nothing beyond what you knew about the black water previously.

3) a) the rat is dead, has little pigment in eyes or skin. Otherwise everything is in good condition.
b)spellcraft check: fail nothing happens, success the effects immediately recede.
c) effect doesn't spread beyond the tail, tail is consumed as normal
d) tail is easily cut, no change after tail is removed. It seems like, were both pieces of the rat still alive, it could be very easily reattached with a heal check.

Hey

Jason asks Gaeis for his barrel in order to perform experiments on it. He does not want to risk destroying his current barrel for he needs it for more experiments on Black Water.

Black Water Experiments

4) Animate dead one of the rats. Then pour a bit black water onto the dead rat. Theory - Black Water depends on Negative energy and could strengthen the rat.

5) Damage animated dead rat, and then pour a bit of black water on top it. Theory - Heals undead due to having negative energy

6) Gathering the pool of black water from experiment 1, infuse it with negative energy and see if the substance is reactivated.

Crystal Experiment

1) Create a pocket in the Limbo Plane that is like my current lab/room. *Recruiting Sylvie (sorceress lvl 7) to assist.

[brent]

4) the animation is extra effective, the undead rat is stronger than expected and may not have lost intelligence. Further Black water seems to have no effect.
5)Undead rat is definitely more durable than expected, extra black water has no additional effect.
6)successful spellcraft causes changes in the material but it isn't the same as before. It i still a dark colour but it doesn't have the deep endless blackness it had before

1) with more knowledge of how the crystal works you are able to bring yourself into limbo, but you are unable to duplicate your lab there. You make it back safely, however the endeavor has left you exhausted.

[brent]

(edit later)
-undead army destroyed in majority immediately, and the rest over a transitional period whereby they can be properly replaced (city guards)
-The north gains full control of one city in the south, and vice versa.
-Consecration of dwarves who pass away becomes law, to be carried out by the Alexian church and paid for by both governments
-Free trade of all goods, with specific provisions in place for the trade of food to the north.
-split control of brink
-Hephaestus is the king of the north, but must send a live representative to any and all diplomatic engagements that take place outside Alexia, unless explicit exceptions are made.
-Alexian monastery returns to full control of the church but they may not enter the capital buildings of Alexia without proper permissions
-Raising undead considered an act of War.

[brent]

All PCs in the party get 1 influence for the fully diplomatic mission, as well as diplomatic immunity in areas of Dwarfland which have active law enforcement.

[Xenadrael]

Alejandro, he let's you use his barrel for experiments but requests that you don't destroy it unless you have good reason to believe that it could incur some groundbreaking results. He also takes it back to use right before every mission just in case he might need it.

[carreraa8]

Hey

Jason has a few more experiments.

Black Water Experiments

7) Using reactivated Black water from experiment 6, and pour it on two rats. Healing only one.

Barrel Experiments

1) Going to bring the barrel to Guild's magic person for analysis.
2) Going to place a live rat in the barrel and close the barrel. Afterwards, burst negative energy and see any affects on the barrel.
3) Going to place a undead rat in the barrel and close the barrel. Afterwards, burst positive energy and see any affects on the barrel.
4) Summon a lawful, good and evil creature and place them inside the barrel. (Testing if it has protection against any other alignment as well as unsummoning feature)

Crystal Experiment

2) Go into Limbo, and then try to appear somewhere else in the material world.

[Xenadrael]

Gaeis comes up with some suggestions and ideas seeing as how you seem to be having fun with this and it's somewhat related to him since he's carrying black water and a barrel everywhere.

Black Water: Does it work on plants? what about forms of energy (e.g. light, heat, etc.)

Barrel: Any ways where it can be tampered with to improve the effect or possibly add other effects (more efficient storage device like a handy haversack or reinforced material). Is there any way to enlarge the barrel without destroying the special properties.

[Xenadrael]

Oh and The Order of the Inner City now has Strangeweather's position on the council and Strangeweather works as a member of the Order now. This means you can use all of his stuff, give influence to us and you can run that mission you wanted to run. (afaik he owns Warehouse 13 but you'll have to ask Dane for more things)

[brent]

7) the reactivated liquid functions differently. It now works as you would expect negative energy to work.

1) You bring the barrel to the artificer who came from Alexia. He inspects the barrel and says that other than what you already know he can't tell you anything except that if given time he may be able to identify it's creator, or maybe where it was made, based how how it was enchanted, but he would need several days.
2)no effects
3)no effects
4)no effects

2)unsucessful. you suspect it may be possible though, but it is beyond your current knowledge to do it.

Plants: yes, but slowly
i don't know how you want to test the forms of energy.

The artificer tells you he could do those things on a new barrel for a price, but he cannot add enchantments on top of someone else's, unless maybe he can identify who did it and what methods they used.

Hey Brent, so last night I just wrote down the bonus you gave me as +2 badass rolls. Thinking I should have a slight idea on what it is, how did you word it again? Something about rolls that could kill me if failed?

[brent]

if failing a roll will result in your almost certain death, then you get a +2 (or +1 if its hard to tell but it should be pretty definitive to get the bonus)
