Age of The End (D&D 5E) (IC)

[TyranntX]

[Narration]

A day has passed, and on the next morning the ship has arrived at Iron tower like Dexterous said it would. The truly massive structure practically lorded over the vessel, in comparison the Cloud Shark was not even a speck. The ship touched town on the creamy white grass-like field that encircled the tower, and the passengers one by one began to disembark. Each one heading to a different city it would seem. The cold reaches of Tall Mountain, to the baking sands of The Hellpit Desert, people were using the world spire effortlessly to get where they needed to go. Now it's the nameless party's turn, next stop The Town of Birth!

Kalvienne looked around as he finally touched solid ground, sitting down for a moment while Peridot landed on his shoulder. "Sweet. Sweet land. I do not know what is more glorious.. the tower or the white flora.." He chuckled lightly. He could finally look around, with there being no threat of large bodies of water terrorizing him. "Who knows how to do whatever we're doing here?" He asked.

Settling the artifact on his back, Vrail looks up at the Iron Tower and tries to recall the process for using the Gate. He's also furtively looking around to see if anyone he knows has spotted him.

 

[Equusheart]

While the trip on the flying ship had been rather enjoyable, aside from the wyverns, Nokomis had to admit that it was good to be back on solid ground again. Brego and the rest of horses seemed to agree with that notion. Brego nibbled at the pale grasses as Nokomis adjusted the saddle, her eyes drifting to the tower as she did. She wondered how old the structure was.

Make a Perception Check and a History Check

The artifact felt strangely heavier on his back than it had before, maybe because they were nearing their destination or because he was worried about foul play now more than on the ship.
He scanned the approach to the Iron Tower looking for threats, or worse, family members...

OOC:
Perception = 14
History = 17

You are on the far side of the tower's entrance, though no one has seen you it would take them days to get here if they did.

The tower's functionality as a warp gate is simple, state where you wish to go aloud then touch the tower's outer walls. the warp function dose not work on the interior of the tower, just the exterior.

Glancing around to make sure most everyone in the party is present, and Vrail addresses them all loudly enough so that everyone in the party around him can hear him.

"If my memory serves me, using the Iron Tower to gate somewhere is easy enough - nearly like stepping through a door. But stepping through a door with so many makes me think we should discuss what we do on the other side after we step through. Should we all go to find Rah Kriian, or most of us stay with the artifact and only a few go to seek him out?"

 

[Sherwood]

Beorin looks over at the Saurian. "I think it would be best to stick together, just in case there is trouble. We've already seen wyverns; what may be next aligned against us?"

 

[D. Rex]

After giving the Captain a thanks a farewell,, Toryk guided the horses and wagon by hand down the ramp and to the party.

"Aye, Beorin do be right. The sooner we get the artifact out of our hands and into his, the better. Even if by minutes."

 

[Felis]

As soon as she disembarks the ship, Diella begins crouching down every now and then to gently brush her hands over the grass, and any other plants she passes. They are such an unusual color, and there's so many of them here! It's really a shame they have to move on right away. Diella wouldn't mind staying a while longer to take it all in and perhaps find out why the vegetation here isn't green like everywhere else. Except... She sighs and gives the sky a doubtful glance. With flora that lush, it's bound to rain often, isn't it?

"Yes, I think that may be best. And they do say there's safety in numbers, after all," Diella agrees with Beorin and Toryk before returning her main focus back to the plants around them, trying to make the most of the few minutes they are here.

 

[Psychie]

At this point, Athaclenna has not had much sleep, having spent much of the night involved with the new activities that Shalia has introduced her to. With a happy smile on her face and bags under her eyes, the elf looks around at the tower and the strange white plant life around them. Trying to keep her mind in the moment, she says, "I concur. Lets get the job done."

Just by touching the silky white plants beneath your feet, you feel something. A connection of some sort, like millions of millions of heartbeats. and looking around you cannot help but feel like you are being watched, but not by people... but by White Jungle itself. It's as if the jungle is... alive?

That is when you start to hear feint voices in your head, each of them unique.

"The Jungle is trembling, The Jungle is crying, The Jungle is afraid, it seems the The 12 of the End are returning"

"The 12? That cannot be! The were banished!"

"Banishment from our world does not beget denial to return"

"But why? How?"

"We know not, only that The Hell Knights are helping them... pray to the Mother of Man, that they will be stopped"

Diella draws in a surprised breath when she feels the connection. Is it... the individual plants she is hearing? This hasn't happened to her before. Does this place hold special power to allow for this? Whatever the case, though, those words are more than foreboding. If what they say is true... At the very least, Diella decides she can't just go back home as if nothing happened once they get to Birth; not without finding out more about the state of the world.

Even so... "I'm sorry to hear that, but... Why tell me?" she mutters under her breath. "What can I do?" After a moment, Diella adds, even more quietly, "Can you... hear me?"

They don't seem to hear you at the moment, but you can still faintly hear their voices

After a very enjoyable night with Athaclenna, Shalia felt good, but she keeps thinking about what she heard in her dream. If this message was a real it must of come from someone with very powerful magic. Shalia has been making many glances towards areas in the sky as her allies talked to each other. "Guys, I heard a weird voice in my dreams last night that I think might of been someone communicating with me using magic. It called me a surface walker and warned about a great evil returning to the world that will aid the hell knights to a new Age of Terror and to watch the skies because the clouds of ahead bring only death. Do you guys have any idea what who this evil is?" Shalia is sure she will somehow stop the evil since she is going to be an amazing hero, but how is supposed to stop something if she isn't sure what it is.

 

[Psychie]

TyranntX With this revelation, can I make a History check to try and see if I've ever heard of this before?

When you were but a little girl, your caretakers told you horrible tales about 12 vicious demons that brought hatred and death to all the mortals of Terris 5,000 years ago. Their rule was known as "The age of Terror". However, they were each defeated by a Saurian who banished them back to the void. Thus ushering in "The Age of Hope", which is the current age. Thinking back, there were a few demons that could take control of clouds... But you do not know their names, as they were never told to you out of fear they may return just by stating them aloud.

"Do you have any more detail on the 'great evil'?" Vrail asked Shalia.
