NAXO
Mood:  smelly
We met NAXO (the bad bad guys from Leons world)

Our blck shard problem turned out to be a substance called black meteor .. a really nasy creature from leons home that depresses those around it then makes them really violent

Davos and Cawdor had cults of people willing to be infected with it

We cleaned bot those cities by using spores general Kast made for us .. his people created the meteor so they can destroy it

we learned a lot more about Leons world and the kinds of power there
seems most of the rangers power has not scaled up

We also rescued Matt Keogh (and my was he greatefull .. NOT )
but we have denied the enemy an asset so its good in a way

Preparations for the Kings 60th birthday
(very significant for an elf)
Should be a riot .. literally :)

Shard Experts
Mood:  a-ok
It seems we have been designated shard experts by the Queen

She came and asked us to assasinate some Lotharian movement members but that seemed to have been a test to see what kind of people we were

then antoher test to see if we could deal with the shards

She thinks that the proximity to the nasty shards is causing the people of imperialles to behave in a more cruel and imoral way

She is sending us to Davos to start there
as it has always been bad but lately has become a wretched hole

The queen and the Admiral Hawke can to an agreement
Remarkable alike in may ways to look at them

Lanris has settled right in
seems in her spare time Jessie comes and reads to her
she likes that and is learning all sorts of new things
With her new clothes and brushed hair she is even more stunning

Lanris
Mood:  bright
We tracked Lanris down and persuaded her to come with us
she is beautifull :)

and powerfull once we get her used to what she is
and thats for us to do now and Magnus has started deciding what can and can not happen, we can not take her to marcus, the comonwealth can not interfere and the chitters can not spy on us

he has some huge power
we have no choice but to play it out

We started with heavens 7 (who managed to kill ms Halloran)
We got Steven cash to tell us where the Roman was
they are mixed up with the cult of Krakken
depressingly stupid cultists we met
We managed to put the roman down and he would go back to Earth
where they could try to help the mind control

Ms halloran suggests the one called Stoltz next

More visitors from Earth
Mood:  don't ask
yet more visitors from leons planet
first a charming vampire called Steven Cash

the last member of hevens 7 it seems

what a complete tosser
but apparently very dangerous

and a squad of Rangers who seemd a little more reasonable
so we made a deal

we were raiding the merchants guild for info on cash's links to them
the rangers agreed to help and we said we would take them to Priotus to talk

alex got more than she bargained for
she rescued a criminal from earth who had been working for heavens 7 and had outlived his usefullness (a fatal condition)

Sho was there to do the execution and mare and pain showed up soon after
we got the guy and got the hell out

He told us that someone named Cockroach Martinez was working with Slaah the pirate king and had rescued out boat of slaves from the northern sea (the one where all the mutated creatures had happened) and he dropped them off in kyoto

one of them was named Lannris but thats too easy

The meeting between Pritous and the Rangers went well
and they said they were sending civillians called the pact
These pact have fought Raphialle before
and were responsible for the decimation of the old heavens 7
and have a particular grude against Steven Cash

good allies to have methinks

we are about to make a move to meet the lanrris and decide what to do with her

More visitors and trouble
More aliens are showing up day by day
It seems that someone has started a rumour that wiping the planet out is the way to stop the universe ending

shesh bad press or what

we have calmed the chitters and the earth people down
and are having to work on the rest

Leon has blamed Fabian Cortez so it seems he is the power
Or is working for the power

A quick trip to Blastrock went very badly
We went to see ms Doomfists daughter to see if she knew anything about the mage involved in the dukes kidnap

we were thrown out of the tower very rudely
Then we snuck back in

Unfortunatly Gen opened a door that should not have been opened really but there was someone on the other side begging for help

This is where reality is starting to fray
The ghosts on the other side of that door are from a reality where Mordane read the book in blastrock and started the red crusade with the mages

And they are pissed off

To get the time strands back together we had to contact the spiders who try to keep that toghether and after being overuled once the 5 of us had the authority to ask them to help

The undead mages have formed a Wizards consortium and are laying seige to blastrock
Blastrock has told imperialles to stay out of it
the wizards have opened up diplomatic releations and are negotiating with the lord general
If the spiders manage to sort out the timeline glitch
we may have some valuable allies

Reality is starting to fray becasue no one knows how to keep it together, a device called the Lanris was used to spin the universe and it is now in the hands of an amature who is using it to make monstrous creatures

We also have to find this lanris and give it to Marcus
A time being who has worked out how to use it properly

lots of work to do

We rescued the Duke
Mood:  a-ok
Well with a lot of help from Gunner
He was fighting 3 serpent guard and left the 2 normal Thraxians guarding the duke .. Alex fought them and I got the duke out of there

Gunner apparently has a past he prefers not to talk about
and that is fine with me and Alex

they are both ok .. the lotharians were trying to make the Duke send false orders to put Titan and Davos at war as we thought
He also said he was sure a Mage was involved
so the guild has either a rougue mage or is helping the Thraxians

The corpses of the Seprent guard revealed that the current Thraxians can not make them like they used too and are improvising with technology
The things are becoming more powerfull by the second and their bodies reach a point where they can not handle the power and die

Disposable weapons

We also learned the Genome project is in effect just not as good as it was thank god

In rescuing the Duke we used a shard in an explosive device and something odd happened .. it seemed to have an affinity with what we were trying to do with it It knew what we wanted it to do

More people from Leons planet are due to arrive
and we learned a little about leons past
apparently he was really not a nice person
I am unsure if i want to know anymore

we got mr Painter out of prison and asked him to use his knowledge of soul science and mind control to help Matt Keogh (who is not the high preist he just thinks he is)
Unfortunatly that requires him to be imobalised and a cosmic entity is interested in no one interfering so that will be quite hard

We asked Jessie to infiltrate the lotharian movement and investigate their links to the Thraxians ..she seemed to think she could do that

On the plus side out millitary is doing better than expected against the thraxians
and the training camp on the island was blessed by a visit from a huge pheonix ( a very good omen to imperillians)

Thraxian serpent guard
Mood:  surprised
We infiltrated the lotharian movement in Davos

They are trying to provoke Titan into attacking Davos knowing the Imperillan millatary would have to step in thus weakening the Black legions protection of Titan

and met the Lady head of the movement from Falkin

We found out they were setting a trap for Gunner as it looks like he took a package that was important to the lotharians

The duke we beleive is somewhere in Titan

When we arived to mess up the trap we found a serpentguard

clones of Vermithrax .. the Thraxian elite
It was a one sided battle and Alex got seriously hurt
(seems when she is that damaged the wounds won't heal till the sword is fixed)

Then Gunner showed up and finished it off telling us to stay out of it

We went back to Titan and found one of the Dukes men being held by mercenaries

And now the Thraxian war begins
Mood:  rushed
The thraxian war kicked off in earnest
with Imperialles woefully undermanned
with young inexperienced troops
It does not bode well

On a trip back home we discovered thet our foster father the duke leo had disappeared on a trip to Davos

When we went to investigate they denied he reached the city
we found that was untrue and set off to investigate

Also Gunner the smith from the estate seems to have gone looking too
And left a trail of bodies in his wake
He is more than he seems

And so it begins
Mood:  don't ask
The celestial court is no more
killed by cerys (the mother of the divines)

the power of the gods hidden in their avatars
and fortune making a desparate holding action

we were given the job of finding the new avatars for the trinity

Gaia's son was hers Vermithrax Bladefist
Cass Keogh was shivas

and fortunes seems to be bits in a jar held by a holographic cyberphantom
(don't ask)

stan and steph are busy trying to put her together
and our Arcadian swordsman Zack will be our key to her

Kyoto is free and the highwayman is going to help if we can get Vermithrax to talk to him

End game has begun

Finally we made a move
Mood:  energetic
After a start trying to track down the elusive highwayman we discovered inconsistancies .. some people vaugely rememeber the Thraxians burning Titan
which could not have really happened

We asked the Prime minister and he was not willing to answer
However Vermithrax showed up and forced him to tell us
Seems Thraxia DID win and it forced the remaining heros to a desparate plan
Using a Time Travel ring they went back to change the past

Sems it kind of worked but caused so many other problems too

He came to warn Priotus that the thraxians had landed
Priotus and Brok went to deal with that

and


Alex Gen Leon and ms DeWinters along with the princess made their move

we went to reclaim the Lord General of the Imperillian army from the control of The cult of Krakken led by Matthias Keogh

It was a brutal fight but Gens plan was to hold on long enough for Garrin Kreiger to rediscover who he was .. it worked and Mathias was forced to flee


Imperialles is not ready yet
but with the lord generals apology to Shae of the Elves
that war has ended and we have the Elven armies support

The lord general also gave us all a Shard of great power
Gen is busy studying it to see waht power it will unlock
Alex is practicing with he new sword
Savik made her a sword that will I am sure become ledgend
