miteke_mw Posted May 16, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) Terry the Terror Terry is still a bit freaked by the place, and settles for a nervous meal near the sled. No walk for him. He has a picnic ready to go and gets to enjoy fried chicken and potato salad, basically eating the fresh food he brought which will spoil. Though he leaves a bit of it aside as an experiment. "I wonder. I'm going to leave some of this chicken aside and see if it spoils. My guess is that it will not. Not too worried about getting lost at this point. We know the general direction and that is good enough for now."

She at least trusted that it wouldn't be his fault if they got lost. Frigging magic. There was not telling what it did to the land. Nox frowned as they stopped in a spot where as far as she was concerned was a dead land. "Can't we ride and eat?", she grumbles as she munches on a ration. She keeps an eye out, with her mace hand at the ready.

hoverfrog Posted May 22, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted May 22, 2023 THE MISTS OF THE MOURNLAND Chapter 1 Part 4: The Mists of the Mournland "We could keep going if someone else could pilot the Earth Sled," Antonio indicates the controls in response to Nox's question, "I need to rest though. It takes a lot of concentration." He sits on the edge of the platform with his feet dangling off and tucks into a bread roll stuffed with slices of ham and pickle, "There doesn't seem to be any danger. The one good thing about the Mournland is you can generally see danger coming. When we get to the Field of Ruins that will change so keep your eyes peeled." He hops down, grabs a shovel, and takes a short stroll to stretch his legs. He disappears behind a tree, curiously winter bare despite the summer month, and emerges a few minutes later, shovel in hand, "Everyone ready to go?" "I should remind you of the dangers if you don't already know. Warforged come here to escape and many have formed roaming bands who hate the people who fought against them during the Last War, no matter what side they were on. There's apparently a warforged who leads them, called the Lord of Blades. We should avoid them if we can," he clambers up onto the raised deck again, "The Mourning did something to some creatures here. You have some really odd mutations of normal animals and, of course, there are bands of Valenar who roam the Mournland hunting them. I think the weirdest thing you'll see are living spells though. The theory is that spells cast on the Day of Mourning have come to life and wander around feeding off the living. That's not such a problem if we find a Living Light spell but it becomes a real issue if we stumble onto a Living Fireball or Living Cloudkill." With that he takes the control rods in hand and you begin to pick up the pace again. As you travel the landscape changes. Antonio mentioned the Field of Ruins. Most of you have heard the name as a battlefield in the Mournland that had particularly fierce fighting during the Last War before the Mourning. They were once rolling plains through which ran the Saerun Road. In the southeast near Kraken Bay were lush hills. Over the years the land was dug up and replaced with long trenches and artificial hills used in defence. On the Day of Mourning a huge battle was underway between the combined forces of Thrane and Breland against the Cyran defenders and Darguun mercenaries. Outnumbered five to one the Cyran forces held for two days against more than 30,000 troops. On the evening of the second day reinforcements arrived for Cyre but still they were outnumbered two to one and the Cyrans were losing. It was then, on the 20 Olarune 994 YK, that the sky caught fire above the Field of Ruins. It was so bright that soldiers in Angwar Keep, a fort in Thrane half a continent away and over the horizon, were blinded by it.

hoverfrog Posted May 29, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted May 29, 2023 THE MISTS OF THE MOURNLAND Chapter 1 Part 4: The Mists of the Mournland At the next stop, after you've paused for dinner at the edge of the Field of Ruins, Antonio directs Remi to the controls, "You have to hold the control rods with both hands but that just puts you into contact with the elemental spirit." "Reach out with your mind until you feel the elemental begin to push back. You need to overwhelm the spirit through force of will and command it to move the Earth Sled. Give it a go." The summer month of Barrakas gives you several more hours of light if you wish to give it a try. To answer Terry he nods, "Over the long run warforged will overtake us but in the short term we can keep ahead of them. The Earth Sled and warforged don't tire but the driver does."

"Well, whatever's in here is a bit of a bugger isn't it? I might be able to move the sled occasionally, but in an emergency my control wouldn't be reliable at all..."

hoverfrog Posted May 30, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted May 30, 2023 THE MISTS OF THE MOURNLAND Chapter 1 Part 4: The Mists of the Mournland Antonio doesn't answer Bonesetter. In fact he doesn't seem aware that the warforged has spoken at all. He is hard of hearing and lip reads but as warforged have no lips for him to read he has trouble with them. He has used sign language when speaking to warforged before but Bonesetter staring off into the fields gave no sign that he was speaking. "It comes with practice," the artificer says, "And the dragonmark helps a lot." As far as Remi remembers, this Lord of Blades is some sort of cult leader that attracts warforged, like the disaffected weapon smuggler, Junk, from the charcoal camp who have a dislike of those made from bone, flesh and blood. Like many a cult those who are members are fanatical and disinterested in talking at all. It occurs to him that their attitude to a warforged working with fleshies might vary from a desire to free him from oppression and punish the people to destroying him as a collaborator. The geography of the Field of Ruins is apparent, picturesque rolling hills, wide, fertile plains, and the occasional glade or copse of trees. Remi's knowledge extends a bit further and rumour has it that the site of the battle fought there is now a thing of horror. Temporary trenches were blasted away and the ground burned to a cinder. Beneath it the land was turned to glass and mutated creatures wander the land in agony.

"Can I....errr.. try it?", she didn't think she would have much luck, but she was curious how that felt and wanted to experience it. The half-orc looks at Bonesetter, "Perhaps you should give it a try? It would be useful if our driver didn't have to rest as well." , she suggested.
