Fane was out this week.. his sock pile complicating his house move. Waleed, playing Damon, has possibly almost started to comprehend what might be going on, although if he read the stuff I'd sent him he would have been better equipped.
I also ended up screwing the timelines up badly in this session in trying to resolve a mess of my own making .. so I'm going to have to unscrew them in the next session by winding time back .. it's all been a bad dream...well not quite all..
Isocrates finishes his scenic sightseeing by summoning the pattern and inspecting the forcefield. Awed by it's grandure he returns to his room to practice summoning the pattern before getting some rest. Allanon wakes from his afternoon snooze and walks the pattern surprised to find Cordelia standing where Fiona was. She's not overly talkative but does give him a few hints before he returns to his room.
Having recovered from yesterday Kohaku decides she wants to give shadow walking a try. Dierdre suggests she takes Sorcha and Damon with her, which she agrees to. Dierdre sets them down outside and they walk across the plain whilst Kohaku tries to work out exacly what to do. Eventually she stops, thinks for a little, imagines a plant behind her , turns and takes a step. To Sorcha and Damon she just vanishes.
Left alone Sorcha and Damon consider what to do.. Sorcha summons the Logrus as a means to alert her mother to their predicament. A few minutes later they are retrieved to the Tower.
Kohaku finds herself alone in a strange land with low gravity a strange sky and land facing a 70ft tall Aspidistra ... well she said plant!
Sort of realizing her mistake she imagines a black tower behind her, turns and takes a step. She's now in a flat rocky plain with a wierder sky, with 3 planetary moons in it, and a looming black tower in the distance...
After a certain amount of hinting and discussion she eventually works out she needs to picture the Tower of Lethe in her mind and slowly adjust parameters to match. She starts the slow process of making her way home.. well at least the Tower.
Whilst Allanon wakes first he spends an hour or so exercising before going and getting breakfast. Isocrates rises, grabs a quick breakfast, and then walks the Pattern. He pattern ports as Cordelia is about to warn him about teleporting directly into the Tower.
As Allanon descends into the stadium to get breakfast he notes Isocrates walking the Pattern. After breakfast he too walks the Pattern but has a sufficiently long conversation for her to warn him about teleporting directly into the tower. He teleports to the foot of the Tower.
Damon's, Sorcha's, and Dierdre's repast is interupted by Isocrates attempted patternport, and Dierdre teleports herself into the pentagram with the characteristic flash and thunder clap to block Isocrates and then retrieve him from the roof.
Isocrates comes round about 6 hours later feeling like he's been mown down by an articulated truck, whilst suffering the worst hangover he's ever had, following someone cleaving his skull open with an axe, poking his eyes out with red hot pokers, whilst scream sirens sing in his ears. As he groggily comes round Damon asks "Are you all right bud?" which sounds like someone shouting at the top of their lungs. Sorcha, still dressed in her armour, quietly offers him paracetamol and ibruprofen tablets to ease his symptoms.[And of course I didn't lift this from a previous log relating to Kohaku].
A short nap later, a feeling a little better, he starts to ask Deirdre questions, although he doesn't get answers that makes his options any clearer. Deirdre suggests he sleep on it.
Meanwhile Allanon has climbed to the ledge surrounding the tower, and having just survived almost being thrown off after touching the gem walls, is looking for a way in. After a number of abortive attempts at attracting attention with no effort he flys onto the roof of the gem, and gets some rest.
[Note the short time hiccup here - this one I should be able to resolve without too much issue]
Kohaku after an exhausting 66 hours of travel and rest finds herself in a shadow she can't manipulate any longer and facing a tower that resembles the tower she remembers. She drops the pattern makes her way across the plain and climbs to the ledge. Finding no way in she sits down and leans against the walls to get some rest. After picking her self up, having been thrown across the ledge, she sets her Mogwai to keep watch and tries to get some rest.
[Major GM Note here :- I've just recalculated the dates and realised I made a major cock up here.. so I'm going to have to wind time back to the 16th ... ie Cordelia does not arrive at this point and Isocrates will get transported outside to explore shadow .. this doesn't affect Kohaku directly as she's tromping through shadow trying to get home... which she will do on the 17th.. I just need to resolve a few things with Allanon, Ioscrates, and possibly Damon.... Sorry guys.]
