When the Halfling displayed his desire for Blood, it raised Rolen's hackles. After all, the Warlock hunted the Undead, both at the command of his Paetron, and for his own personal vengeance. However, Rolen stayed his hand, "We have made an alliance with Izim and he is Izim's minion. Besides, my companions and I seem to have our hands full with Ingnisora."

Rolen's upbringing had been more 16 Wis vs. 9 Intpragmatic than academic. He traveled from town to town putting on plays. However, Rolen's had spent time - far too much time - in Shadowfell, being hunted by and then hunting with his Patreon. It had honed his native c

"...one to get us to the nine hells and another to get us back again."

"Hold a minute, Cleric of Thor." Interjected Rolen, "Bearding a creature in the Lair is a dangerous proposition. Doubly so, when the Lair is the Nine Hell, and the creature is a powerful Devil. The Archmage says he feels that he can control both the location and the direction. We can bring whoever or whatever is on the other end of the ritual to a location and at a time of our choosing."

"If Rolen right, then I say he bring demon to bottom of hole and attack from above. Do we know weakness of demon? Maybe we fill hole with weakness."

Rikke Skyhammer

“Well, I don’t like the thought of bringing some fiend here, but I like it more than I like the thought of going to the hells.” Rikke had to admire Glanteth’s fervor and courage, even if she didn’t think she could match it with her own. Together they had faced all kinds of enemies and challenges, and she was certain they could overcome anything that came at them. The new guy made a good point, and so did Honeysuckle, and so did her own head, which she felt better about not that others were in agreement with it. ”I think going… down there… would be too scary for me, maybe even for Baern. Maybe we could go outside the town somewhere safe, so no one else gets hurt, and then do all of our heroing?”

Book Him
left-aligned image

“Sketch out for you?” Walton asks doubtfully. “Absolutely not. Given that little time, I can help you create the ritual that you prefer; recording it for you, in a useful and safe form, is another matter entirely. You, Mr. Thorinson, may confidently work security at some tavern, but I imagine that you find it an entirely different task to draft comprehensive instructions regarding the manner in which to artfully punt a drunken sailor. (I am assuming here that you can write at all.) No, that would take me several hours at least. If your possession of the book is so limited, I recommend that we begin immediately.”

When Glanteth offers payment of a kind, Walton seems to regard him with new eyes. The wizard’s features soften very slightly. “It seems that you are in fact rather honorable,” he observes. “Your offer is not unappreciated, limited as your skills in assessing value may be. As I have told you, my interests trend more to the academic. If you intend to visit the hells, and you somehow return, I would be very interested in your detailed report. And yes, I may be interested in whatever…salvage you may obtain as well, if not for me, then perhaps for one of my colleagues.” Walton pauses. “Thank you,” he concludes.

Rolen: "We can bring whoever or whatever is on the other end of the ritual to a location and at a time of our choosing."

“Ah,” cautions Walton. “I may have been unclear. Yes, I can help you control the direction of the transfer, but the route remains to a location, not an individual, and even with this rather pedantic instruction book, I cannot help you forcefully summon a particular being; that is very powerful, delicate magic.”

After hearing Rikke’s concerns, Walton reminds the party, “You have an option other than the hells. The other location is on this plane. Do you have reason to believe that either destination is more promising?”

When Walton mentioned the other location was on this plane, Torgrun spoke up. "Aye, I be likin' the sound a that. Maybe we go lookin' there first instead a the nine hells. I like our chances better on this plane a existence. Whatcha think fellas? Now Mr. Walton once we get ta this other place, how exactly are we gettin' back? Can ya summon us back, maybe give ya a prearranged time ta do so?"

"Yeah, I'm not sure how much I have to add until Torgrun gets his question answered. Having a way back from either location is paramount, but especially the hells. You ask if we have reason to believe that either destination is more promising? Other than our target being a fiend, not necessarily. I'd prefer to exhaust the prime material alternative first, if possible."

Sighing, Glanteth leans his elbow on his knee from his seated position. "We already have the book. If you need more time, you need more time. We can go and inform Izim of the delay while you're working on it. As long as we follow through, I don't believe he'll take it as a pact-breaker, especially with us keeping him in the loop the moment something changed on our end."

I definitely feel like we've been using Brimley A LOT more than would justify his scholastic curiosity. I really hope you can include an otherwise worthless, esoteric treasure that we could return to him for payment along with our regular party loot in this go.

Rolen sighed at Waltons response, "It was to much to hope. I have first-hand experience"Rolen winced at the term, "At the dangers of confronting a dangerous adversary in their lair. Still, we chose the time and location. Hopefully, it will give us the element of surprise. Although, I cunning adversary will have placed traps and alarms. Our advantage may be fleeting."

Rolen told his companions, "I concur with Torgun that we start with the location on this plane. Perhaps your demon is visiting, and if not we may gain some additional information, and or deprive her of an ally."

Rolen looked to Glanteth, "Yes, let us keep Izim abreast of our timelines."

Book Him
left-aligned image

Walton puts his fingertips to his chin and exhales loudly through his nose. "Yes, yes, we can do that. We must each work a side of the ritual simultaneously. I will tell you what to copy and bring with you from this book as I begin the preparations for the first leg." Walton begins to collect the materials. "We will do this in my room upstairs," he informs the others. "Now you must tell me when you wish me to perform the return ritual."

OOCYou'll need to answer that question IC, and also indicate who will do that copying and how. Yes, there will be a roll.

Rikke Skyhammer
right-aligned image
”How long does it take to kill a succubus?” Rikke asked as she looked at her companions in response to Walton’s question. Most of the conversation was going right over her head, which was very understandable since she was quite short, even for a dwarf. The question of how they got home, though, was of particular interest to Rikke. ”Or, ‘subdue’ a succubus,” she clarified with air quotes large enough to imply something unintentionally sinister and entirely out of keeping with her cheery demeanour.

”We can always walk back, if we’re on this… plane. I can even lead the way,” she said, trying out a new word and hoping she got it right as she waved her hands around in flat circles to gesture to where they now stood. ”Hip-hop was pretty wily, but once we got him, we got him pretty quick, aside from all the smoke and screaming and dying and stuff. I would help with the writing and stuff, but my writing is pretty messy, even though I know lots of languages, so I probably shouldn't.”

The Norseman nods to Rikke in acknowledgement that she's on the right track, but corrects her anyways. "We can walk back if the destination isn't another island or something. Thank the gods for Torgrun's goodberries, but I don't want to have to go through that again." Looking to Brimley, then back to everyone else, "I think four hours should be a good time window. Long enough to find someone and kill them if they're not right in front of the gate when we arrive. Long enough to die to the man though too, I suppose."

Turning back to focus on Brimley, "show us what we need to copy, please."

Book It
left-aligned image

"Of course," says Walton, unusually succinct as he leads the party upstairs and into his room. He now moves with surprising purpose and alacrity for an academic as he lays out the written materials in a convenient place and begins inscribing on his floor with chalk and ash, frequently flipping through the borrowed book as he does. "Start here," he says simply, pointing to one of the diagrams in the manual recovered from the island. "You will need that, but I have some changes to note. Whom am I instructing?"

Torgrun followed Walton along with the others upstairs. Walton began inscribing diagrams into the floor with chalk and ash as he referred to the book. When he asked the party whom he should instruct for performing the ritual, Torgrun looked to the others and said, "Aye, me thinks I can do her. I ain't the brightest at this kinda thing but I had a knack for the books when me Pappy used ta teach us the lore and history of the nature around our neck a the woods. And any help from yas would be appreciated." Looking over to Rolan, Torgrun added, "Aye, maybe that helmet ya got there, the one that helps ya understand different languages may help me read the dang book ta help me do this right."

Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle wasn't one for books, although he was getting the knack of writing, and he could draw a pretty cool pointed S that curved into itself nicely.
So he stood in the back and tried to find another means to be useful. He pulled the driftglobe out of his pack and set it to float above the ritual area. "I can make bright like daylight if you need." he added, hoping that his usefulbess would be recognised.

The Norseman paid close attention to Brimley's instruction in case there was a moment that he could step in to help Torgrun. "casts GuidanceVeiledning," he touched the Dwarf's shoulder when the time came.

Quite certain her help was not needed with the writing and the learning, what with Torgrun and all the tall folk already on it, Rikke found a nice quiet spot out of the way from which to sit, and observe. And maybe fiddle with some stuff that was just lying about on the table nearby, but only a little bit until she got a cross look from Walton and went back to sitting quietly.
