Event Date: 08/18/2024

Event Instance: Prime

• Steward of Recursion Liraxes joins the adventure.

[General] Your mind hears Liraxes thinking, "Liraxes has identified one of the locations for engaging in sorcerous casting to help the Balance."

[General] Your mind hears Tirost thinking, "What is the location?"

[General] Your mind hears Kerennya thinking, "Where's that, Liraxes?"

[General] Your mind hears Haxen thinking, "we need to cast sorcerous spells somewhere?"

[General] Your mind hears Liraxes thinking, "The ruins of a small building are located west of the city of The Crossing. It appears to contain arachnids, which can be ignored for the task at hand."

[Grassland Road, Meadow]
Before you lies the remains of a building, long reduced to jagged foundations of porous, moss-stained tufa. Dark blades of weevil grass poke out of the rocky ground. You hear a clattering sound somewhere within the ruined structure and a muffled oath. You also see a grey cat that is sitting.
Also here: Sublime Mender Kerennya, Firehawk Casari and Steward of Recursion Liraxes.
Obvious paths: north.

Liraxes tonelessly says to Casari, "Data lacking, but assumption is that you have greater than average speed, or locational awareness."

Casari laughs!

Casari says, "Oh, wait, I should take advantage of this."

Casari asks, "Why is the sky blue?"

Light of the World Gwenddolyn just arrived, leading her group.

Black Fox Xionara just arrived, leading her group.

Gwenddolyn nods to Liraxes.

Gwenddolyn gets a sturdy green backpack from inside her watersilk bag.

Stellar Statistician Urbaj just arrived.

Gwenddolyn offers Liraxes a sturdy green backpack.

Liraxes tonelessly says to Casari, "The concept of 'blue' is a matter of your perceptual abilities."

Xionara bows to Liraxes.

Liraxes accepts Gwenddolyn's green backpack.

Gwenddolyn says, "I have many rods for Liraxes."

Malorna slaps a hand to her cheek and looks about in confusion.

Fearless Crobin just arrived, leading his group.

Malorna beams!

Shavay just arrived.

Casari snaps her fingers.

Crobin scans the area briefly.

The air fills with a loud *CRACK*!

Urbaj rummages through a rugged backpack searching with intent, but it quickly becomes apparent he's not got a clue where to look.

Liraxes tonelessly says to Gwenddolyn, "These are acceptable materials for this purpose, and with a variety of material properties."

Urbaj says to Liraxes, "I've commissioned approximately 30,000 mechanisms made of iron, steel, bronze, copper, oravir, tin, nickel, and zinc."

Urbaj offers Liraxes a rugged backpack.

Gwenddolyn nods.

Urbaj says to Liraxes, " The backpack also contains rods carved from all of the varieties of bone commonly found on this plane."

Tear Reaper Tambellis just arrived.

Gwenddolyn says, "As requested."

Liraxes accepts Urbaj's backpack.

Urbaj says to Liraxes, "The backpack also contains rods carved from all of the common varieties of stone."

Urbaj says to Liraxes, "The backpack itself is made of some sort of fiber that may also be useful."

Haalik Showldh Utbrach just arrived.

Liraxes tonelessly says, "These materials are also acceptable."

Knight of Meraud Tirost just arrived.

Shavay went into a ruined building.

You get an odd feeling that someone is watching you. It quickly passes.

Tear Reaper Tambellis goes north.

Crobin asks, "Are we working on the device?"

You happen to sense a Katamba moonbeam moving into the area.

Crobin clasps Tirost's hand tenderly.

A swirling vortex of shadows draws itself from the ground and coalesces into a triangular black Moongate filled with a stormy darkness, which yawns open like a hungry maw.

Tear Reaper Tambellis just arrived.

Mathematician Avrenka came through a triangular black Moongate filled with a stormy darkness.

A triangular black Moongate filled with a stormy darkness collapses in on itself.

Crobin nods to Tambellis.

Gwenddolyn says, "We are giving Liraxes materials."

Malorna says, "Hmm."

Liraxes tonelessly says, "The delivered materials should be sufficient for accurate data acquisition."

Intern Raeed just arrived.

Avrenka waves.

Xionara softly asks Liraxes, "Is this spot acceptable to cast?"

Sir Madigan just arrived.

Avrenka asks, "What'd I miss?"

Madigan raises his hand in a quick salute.

Crobin ponders.

Tambellis steps towards Madigan to join him, but Madigan steps away.

Tirost snaps to attention and hails Madigan with a crisp hand salute.

Gwenddolyn says, "I know Hanryu also has many mechanisms I gave him metals to use."

Shavay just arrived.

Shavay assesses his combat situation.

Leayne curtsies to Madigan.

Knight Errant Trajan just arrived.

Madigan joins Crobin's group.

Tambellis joins Crobin's group.

Xionara rolls her hands in an elliptical pattern in front of her.
A spinning ball of vivid blue aether appears within the pattern her hands define.
The spherical ellipse of vivid blue aether flattens and expands. A fine mist covers the ellipse, which clears on a gust of wind leaving a fissure in its place.

Liraxes tonelessly says, "Previously delivered materials have been sufficient to start more refined calculations, identifying this location as a priority target for engaging in sorcerous casting."

Xionara nods.

Madigan nods to Crobin.

Liraxes tonelessly says to Gwenddolyn, "Additional materials will still be of use, to further refine observational ability."

Xionara softly says, "Will try with spells gifted through wild research then."

Avrenka asks, "So ... Liraxes wants us to just cast a lot of sorcery spells here, until ... what?"

Xionara glances up at the sky.

Alshabi Kamisama just arrived.

Raeed blinks.

Sister Severei just arrived.

Kerennya asks Liraxes, "Do we need to do this in as close to unison with each other as we can, or is just casting in our own time adequate?"

You notice Sofina trying to remain hidden while speaking.
You hear the voice of Sofina say, "You know just as much as us. Give it a moment to explain."

Liraxes tonelessly says, "This endeavor will not be resolved swiftly."

Xionara nods to Liraxes.

Casari asks Liraxes, "Are you asking people to randomly do sorcerous magic, or is there a specific type of spell that you want them to cast?"

Xionara softly says, "Understood."

Shearah just arrived.

A Prydaen villager wanders into the area.

Madigan smiles at Valynn.

Crobin nods to Madigan.

Xionara softly says, "One."

Valynn grins at Madigan.

You hear the voice of Sofina exclaim, "Ah! Villager!"

Valynn gazes at her fingernails.

Avrenka says, "Does it matter what kind of sorcery spells we use? Mana? Or can we just snap cast a hundred as fast as possible."

Xionara softly asks Liraxes, "Any change detected at all? Smallest percentage?"

Bioenchantress Allye just arrived.

A Prydaen villager bows gracefully, then dances a rather graceful ballroom pose.

Liraxes tonelessly says to Casari, "Sorcerous casting in general, excluding Teleologic sorcery."

Pyppa hugs Allye, getting a smile in return.

Sofina dances mockingly around a Prydaen villager!

Sofina frowns.

Allye just hugged Pyppa.

Sofina curtsies to a Prydaen villager.

Malorna chuckles.

Casari asks, "Why excluding Teleologic? Just because it's offensive to you?"

Xionara softly says, "Cast safest sorcery known to yourself."

Healer Leilanie just arrived, leading her group.

Allye furrows her brow.

You notice Sofina trying to remain hidden while speaking.
You hear the voice of Sofina ask, "Necromancy work?"

Malorna says, "I dont have any right now."

Xionara softly says, "See if Liraxes detects change."

Malorna begins pouting.

Xionara softly says, "Not hard."

Xionara lets out an exasperated, "Pbpbpb."

Crobin flicks one ear back as though listening for something.

Strawberry Nurse Illiya just arrived.

Valynn picks up a glossy axinite runestone.

Crobin hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return.

Xionara softly says, "Could take many days to have result."

Shavay goes north.

Xionara softly says, "So said Liraxes."

Illiya hugs Crobin, who wraps his arms around Illiya with a warm smile.

Xionara gestures at Liraxes.

Liraxes tonelessly says, "Do not expect immediate results. This problem has been building for a long time, and will not be resolved immediately."

Illiya hugs Leayne, who wraps her arms around Illiya with a warm smile.

Valynn hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return.

Crobin nods to Tirost.

[General] Your mind hears Xionara thinking, "Liraxes calls to cast magics to right balance in location detected. Come if care about state of things."

Bookkeeper Parkons just arrived.

Illiya hugs Allye, getting a smile in return.

Kerennya asks Liraxes, "Could any one come to this spot at any time and cast sorcery, or does it need to be everyone together?"

Crobin gives Parkons a brotherly hug, rubbing his scalp with his knuckles.

Liraxes tonelessly says, "Additional locations will be identified as further calculations are performed, but one is not necessarily more important than the other."

Allye whispers something to Leilanie.

Allye hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return.

Liraxes tonelessly says, "A large group is not required, though it will help the process."

Tirost asks Liraxes, "What is it about this location that makes sorcerous casting more likely to return planar balance?"

Leilanie nods at Allye, obviously agreeing with her views.

Rozalynde just arrived.

Pyppa casually observes the area.

Leilanie nods at Allye, obviously agreeing with her views.

Xionara softly says, "Destoyed building shows evidence of past misuse of sorcery... possibly."

Xionara softly says, "Unaka hinted as much."

Allye nibbles her lip thoughtfully.

Xionara stares blankly into the distance.

Allye nods to Leilanie.

Liraxes tonelessly says to Tirost, "It has been calculated to be an optimal location for the impact of sorcerous casting."

Godspeaker Harsh just arrived, gliding in from the north on his brown vulture at a slow pace.

Harsh gives a courteous nod and tips his blob politely.

Illiya says to Tirost, "Math."

Trajan asks, "Has anyone, at any point, asked for references from this construct? Or is everyone just going with this?"

Leilanie gnaws on her lip.

Pyppa ponders.

Allye quietly says, "This feels like a bad idea."

Xionara softly says, "Do not fear make decisions and try what suggested."

Parkons says to Liraxes, "I see many have been eager to assist you. There are those of us who would still like to finalize the contract."

Harsh hugs Pyppa gingerly, trying not to hurt her.

Trajan nods to Allye.

Harsh takes a deep breath and then raises his hands, murmuring prayers under his breath. A strong white light fills him, exploding outward and blinding you momentarily. When the light fades Harsh seems to be floating a few inches above the ground while descending slowly to a standing position, looking exhausted but happy.

Parkons says to Allye, "I am attempting to mitigate the potential for this to be a bad idea."

Couri nods to Parkons.

Madigan moves into position to block attacks against Leayne!

Allye nods to Parkons.

Leayne rests her hand on Crobin's arm with a soft smile.

Severei gestures.
Geysers of uncontrolled mana suddenly erupt from Severei's flesh, illuminating the surroundings in an excruciating display of blue-black fire!

Harsh quietly says, "The area is blessed and should be safer from the ills of wild magic now."

Xionara softly says, "Magic in flux, this could help."

Madigan nods to Crobin.

Madigan smiles at Harsh.

Crobin asks, "Anything you would like us none magic users to do?"

Tirost praises Harsh.

Allye says to Parkons, "I laud your efforts. I hope that it will honor any contract it agrees to."

Harsh smiles.

Crobin gives Harsh a brotherly hug, ruffling his hair with his knuckles.

Harsh gives Crobin a brotherly hug, rubbing his scalp with his knuckles.

Gwenddolyn says, "It is interesting that spiders are here too."

Parkons says, "I cannot stop anyone from taking action to aid Liraxes, but for anyone who is unaware, a group of us have taken the time to compose a contract. Liraxes has indicated a willingness to enter this contract and adhere to the conditions put forth."

Liraxes tonelessly says to Parkons, "Calculations have changed, changing the underlying premise of the proposed contract."

Xionara softly says, "Coincidence likely."

Izathri just arrived.

Xionara softly says, "Always here."

Xionara softly says, "But, maybe..."

Xionara nods to Liraxes.

Xionara softly says, "Excellent news."

Leilanie nods at Couri, obviously agreeing with her views.

Casari asks Liraxes, "Do you mean that saving the five missing people is no longer part of the plan?"

Gwenddolyn says, "We gave Liraxes a lot of materials just now."

Trajan asks, "Who's been giving it materials?"

Parkons says to Liraxes, "Are you still willing to negotiate and agree to terms? We can consider another revision."

Trajan raises an eyebrow.

Liraxes tonelessly says, "Revised calculations show that there are no circumstances under which your missing people are returned without resolving the current imbalance in magical energy."

Malorna nods.

Gwenddolyn says, "More are on the way."

Crobin squints.

Xionara nods to Liraxes.

Sublime Mender Kerennya glides north.

Parkons says to Gwenddolyn, "That may have been wreckless. I hope I'm wrong."

Xionara softly says, "Take action."

Sofina reveals herself.

Sofina gestures at Malorna.
Geysers of blue-black fire suddenly erupt from Sofina's body, consuming her in a horrific display of unbridled sorcery.

* Sofina is slain before your eyes!

Sofina twitches several times as the ridges encompassing her form recede and vanish.
The corpse of Sofina shudders and twists!
The corpse of Sofina ceases its undead twitching.
Sofina's corpse begins to shake violently, sprouting new mass to replace its lost organs. The convulsions reach a fevered pitch and then abruptly stop when Sofina's eyes snap open! She drags herself upright, wracked with pain and gasping for air, but clearly alive.

Malorna chuckles.

Rozalynde says, "Hmm."

Leilanie frowns.

Malorna says, "Is ok."

Xionara softly says, "Well. That... amuses."

Leilanie nods to Couri.

Allye asks, "Is it?"

Xionara laughs!

Allye nibbles her lip thoughtfully.

Sofina gives Malorna a smooch.

Malorna nods.

A Prydaen villager does a flourishing dance, ending with a bow.

Parkons says to Liraxes, "We presumed as much. I'll do my best to think under this noise but I don't believe the current draft precludes that."

Shaylynne says to Medir, "Follower."

Casari asks Liraxes, "Oh, so ANY effort which restores the balance will definitely return the five missing people?"

Trajan asks, "How are you measuring the 'balance', exactly?"

Trajan glances at Liraxes.

Malorna nods to Sofina.

Malorna asks, "Are we cating now?"

Liraxes accepts Kerennya's canvas tote.

Voranos just hugged Xionara.

Casari says, "Okay, understood."

Tirost asks Liraxes, "More detailed explaination required for assitance: why is sorcerous casting in this location beneficial for planar balance? Why did your calculations result in this location?"

Harsh quietly says to Sofina, "Oh it was. Should try more."

Harsh applauds.

Saragos gestures.
A faint breeze surrounds him.

Basteht gestures.

Parkons says to Liraxes, "Understood. However, I don't think the current contract is in contradiction to that fact."

Belzor blushes a bright red color.

Harsh smiles at Malorna.

Madigan says, "Saragos, I am a simple man. This Construct right now is doing something. It will either work or not. If it does not, then we will kill it and move to the next one."

Liraxes tonelessly asks, "Attempting to explain difficulty... Are you capable of describing the color blue to something which does not have eyes? Or the taste of food to something which does not have a tongue?"

Harsh gestures.

Valenal slowly says to Illiya, "Because the more imbalanced the Plane grows, the harder it is to do the things we are meant to do. To inhabit the soil, to ride the avalanche. To roil luxuriously with the magma in a volcano. The connections grow thick and brittle."

You notice as a black dog pads into the area.

Tirost says, "Some porousness between planes is necessary for balance. Too much would be disasterous. We must find the source of the problem."

Harsh sighs.

Harsh gestures.

Severei bows her head and chants a prayer.

Voranos asks, "Is Valenal not of this plane?"

Madigan gestures.

Madigan touches a pale avaes runestone and closes his eyes in concentration.

Madigan says to Trajan, "TOp notch. Tell her we are waiting on that guidance. She did not give us any when last we met...other than she will help."

Leilanie hesitantly says, "Valenal has all but lost his identity and/or mind, delving into whatever he was involved with. I fear we are diving too head first into all of this."

Xionara traces a hasty sigil in the air.

Illiya says, "Valenal, the meat puppet, is a conduit right now for an earth elemental."

Harsh gestures.

Avrenka says to Voranos, "The elementals that speak thru him are not."

Voranos gestures.

Allye nods at Gwenddolyn, obviously agreeing with her views.

Voranos gestures.

Trajan says to Madigan, "'It's conceivable that we need to seek out that help on our own, rather than have it handed to us."

Xionara softly says, "Exactly."

Tirost nods to Liraxes.

Severei bows her head and chants a prayer.

Illiya says to Dasheek, "Liraxes said that casting sorcery in this exact spot will help restore the balance."

Geysers of uncontrolled mana suddenly erupt from Urbaj's flesh, illuminating the surroundings in an excruciating display of blue-black fire!

Harsh gestures.
A hellish spiral of blazing red stardust rises up around him.
The hellish spiral of blazing red stardust pulses hard before expanding in size, lashing out at everything within reach!

Xionara traces a hasty sigil in the air.

Urbaj frowns.

The hellish spiral of blazing red stardust becomes more violent, expanding outward from Harsh.

The hellish spiral dissipates as quickly as it formed.

Xionara gestures.

Casari gestures.
A glowing amber mist briefly appears around Casari's arms.

Valenal says to Illiya, "Eventually, all the Planes will wither and die. Without the context of the Plane of Abiding, the Elemental Planes would lose their essential link with physical reality."

Tambellis glowers darkly at Voranos.
A sizzling sound briefly emanates from Tambellis's direction.

Dasheek traces a careful sigil in the air.

Xionara gestures.

Valenal slowly says, "What does it mean to be Earth, if there is no Water. What does it mean to be mud if there is no canvas of Aether on which to build it.."

Xionara nods at Valenal, obviously agreeing with his views.

Knight Penitent Briaen goes north.

Harsh quietly says, "Perhaps the surges are more of a casting too quickly thing. That would explain why sorcery causes them infrequently seeing as most will wait until it is ready to cast."

Leilanie gnaws on her lip.

Malorna says, "Not always."

Malorna nods to Harsh.

Harsh ponders.

Malorna says, "Ive had full preps surge."

Severei gestures.

Voranos says, "Well we need the elements to exist so there needs to be some link between planes buf we don't want elementals to come over at a whim, that's never resulted in good things for the inhabitants of this plane."

A brilliant silver glow enwreathes Urbaj's body.

Xionara traces a hasty sigil in the air.

Liraxes tonelessly says to Parkons, "Liraxes can not agree to restrictions that will interrupt the ability of Liraxes to engage in maintaining the Balance. Even without formal restrictions, however, Liraxes will attempt to provide information that is helpful to your engagement. As previously mentioned, however, much is difficult to translate."

Dasheek traces a careful sigil in the air.

Trajan asks, "Anyone of the clerical persuasion feel like helping me dust off an altar?"

Valenal slowly says to Avrenka, "Because something is removing the energy upon which those transition depends. Energy generated through magic. Sorcerous casting replentishes that energy and enables the boundaries to remain porus."

Parkons gestures.

Harsh gestures.

Dasheek gestures at Illiya.

Xionara shakes her head.

Casari says, "Our plane has its own elemental energy. It always did."

Xionara traces a hasty sigil in the air.

Voranos asks, "What effect does it have on the tears Lyras's master tore into this plane? We don't want those getting any larger or porus, eh?"

Kamisama assumes a calm stance, concentrating on something.

Xionara softly says to Tirost, "But futile to try! It will not stop. Necromancers cannot permanently die."

Valenal says to Avrenka, "Eventually the entities enforcing a stranglehold upon the energy here would shut down the transition, and the elements would stagnate."

Xionara gestures.

Leilanie nods at Couri, obviously agreeing with her views.

Xionara softly says, "So that is not way."

Lexxa says to Tirost, "That is not likely, unless you mean this area not all of Elanthia."

Xionara traces a hasty sigil in the air.

Voranos traces a careful sigil in the air.

Tambellis joylessly says, "Alright I'm at my limit of social interaction for now."

Dasheek gestures.

Urbaj gestures.

Urbaj lifts his fist toward the heavens and with a mighty shout displays his righteous wrath.

Severei gestures.
Severei looks steadier.

Avrenka asks Valenal, "Is it possible that if the Entity is removed, that there will be a sudden overwhelming excess of Sorcerous energy that weighs Balance terribly the other way?"

Xionara glances up at the sky.

Xionara gestures.

Xionara traces a hasty sigil in the air.

Valenal slowly says, "Voranos You have not yet reached that dose, to my reckoning."

Tirost asks Liraxes, "Do you agree? That the removal of the entity absorbing energy from the plane would result in planar balance? Or do you believe other actions are necessary conditions of the previous balanced condition?"

Urbaj raises his arm skyward, chanting.

Urbaj gestures.
A brilliant silver glow enwreathes Urbaj's body.

Severei gestures.
Severei looks steadier.

Illiya says, "I mean.. the entity is the Heralds right? It's easier said than done to remove the Heralds from our plane."

Leilanie rummages about her person, looking for something.

Dasheek gestures.

Valenal slowly says to Avrenka, "You must appreciate the scale of the forces involved. A sudden and catastrophic imbalance is very unlikely."

Avrenka nods to Valenal.

Severei bows her head and chants a prayer.

Liraxes tonelessly says to Tirost, "Removal of the entity or entities seems likely to be necessary but not sufficient for long term Balance."

Xionara gestures.

Avrenka says, "That's .. some comfort."

Tirost nods to Liraxes.

Severei gestures.

Medir nods to Allye.

A faint breeze surrounds her.

Parkons says to Liraxes, "I have considered your input. It is clear our assistance is highly effective in restoring Balance. In the spirit mutual aid, many of us are still willing to enter this contract with you. It's purpose will be to invigorate our willingness to continue the actions you call for in exchange for information. Whenever possible, the contract calls for you to provide details that will inform our goal of being reunited with our missing people and maintain the Plane of Abiding in a state that we find acceptable."

Severei bows her head and chants a prayer.

Xionara traces a hasty sigil in the air.

Valenal slowly says to Avrenka, "That is a difficult difference to parse. Say rather that sorcery is generating energy that it seems cannot be intercepted, and that energy is replacing some of what is being lost."

A hazy mist swirls up Leilanie's arms like undulating waves as she utters a few magical words.

Parkons says, "That is all we ask. I will revise the contract and present it to you."
