Okay. This thread was now tagged "hubris is a cowards word" by DP.

Let's consider this a "Achievement Unlocked" message.
 
I wonder if we would eventually be able to slave the demiplane directly to Daenerys soul. Quasi-divine Daenerys with demiplane "phylactry". :whistle:

We need a huge-ass elemental to move the plinth around. Perfect way to keep it ankhored to the root of the word too, eh.

For what it's worth. We're going to steal a whole goddamn wizard's tower! :D Never before has this quest been more exciting. XD
 
Wait when we say 'goodbye' - with some helpful tipps where to find a temple of the Weeping Lady, or what we know about darkness awakening, or ...
... Damn. She really is the only good-aligned god we've met so far. Unless we can somehow get in contact with the Moonsinger goddess, but it doesn't count if we haven't personally spoken to her.

With the number of "EVIL" gods we met - grandma, Burny, gurgling one - I really don't have any problem in supporting the 'good' guys. As long as the major players of the other side have such an advantage, the Archons won't have the time to harass us.

Given the things we're going to be facing soon (fucking Mindflayers) we might even end up calling on the Archons for help.

Of course, we could also convince them to hunt the Shadow demon and the Vrock for us. ;)

Viserys: "I mean, the shadow demon is more or less your fault. We had it safely soul trapped in our demon sword and you let it slip right through your fingers."
Archons: "You manipulative little--"
Viserys: "Since when do Archons complain about demon slaying?"
Archons: :facepalm:
 
Oh! And we CANNOT forget this. Before the Archons leave, I want their leader to teach Dany and Lya every last one of his spells. He would not have any objections to spreading more good into the world.
 
Part MLXXVII: The Shadow Tower
The Shadow Tower

Eleventh Day of the Third Month 292 AC

The others step back, though not without reluctance and words of greeting that are half encouragement and half warning not to place yourself in danger...now of all times when all the danger should be spent. You give one last look to the complex incantation written in haste upon the parchment before you.

You lift up the dream-wrought gem in one hand and peer into its stormy depths, the final dregs of hesitation still upon you, then with a through you banish the shell of power holding the wild magic leashed. You speak in slow measured tones the time for fear is done. Shados deep as the void and lights brighter then the heart of the sun envelop... a cacophony of broken sorcery loosed upon the wold. The more yous peak the more the gem in your hand begins to sing: a voice sublime to tame the maelstrom of power, a beacon of unwavering light amidst the chaos.

The shadows about you whisper secrets of the beginning, of being and becoming. For a moment that seems like eternity you feel as if you stand upon a precipice before some unknowable leap your very soul yearns to take... a leap too far. Though you are master of of a power like onto the divine you know also it is doomed to fade.

A roar on ancient rage and long shackled might rings all around you. The ground beneath your feet shakes and the air quivers as fear finds its way back into your thoughts... You almost break the flow of words... you almost falter. the ancient presence fades, dran back into unquiet slumber by ancient bonds it cannot resist.

The music too gently falls away from the exalted highs, the gem in your hand now little more than mist and vapor as the Tower of Convocations rests gently upon an eddy of primordial shade... yours forevermore.

The first thing you feel on your return to awareness is Dany's draconic form burrowing into your shoulder to ensure you are safe. She had been putting up as much of a brave front as you it seem. Yet now the task is done... and well done it is too. Where once had stood in the sinister presence of the Whispering Gate there now was naught but a man high column of dragonstone perhaps to feet in diameter, unblemished and untouched.

Gained Shadow Tower

Description:
This ancient Dragonstone tower rests now in its own sundered shadow, a small world onto itself, from the jagged tip to the lowest depths where once the Whispering Gate stood. Warded by potent magics and containing many secrets the tower is a treasure trove of lost history.

Ability: The tower can be entered by speaking the correct command words before the smooth unblemished man-high plinth of dragonstone that serves as its key. It can only be activated when the plinth rests on solid ground. On activation arcane symbols race across the stone and a shadow as long as the tower would cast were it to stand upon that place stretches out from the pillar. Those who step (or are covered) by this shadow are instantly transported to the Under-hall of the Shadow Tower to an identical plinth. To leave one has merely to speak the command word again. The gates of the tower lead nowhere but to a cold unformed void.

What do you do next?

[] Search the tower

[] Get the others inside

[] Return to Mantarys


OOC: Viserys was one DC 25 will save from going "A GOD AM I" there. The reason I did not tell your guys about that risk is because he did not realize the danger himself until he was past it. Also the dracolitch was within a hairsbreadth of escaping. It had a 30% chance of escaping and the roll was 31 on a d100

HA! Take THAT, Dracolich! Now we're going to sacrifice you for shinies! :D

Alright, tower is ours now, loot inside tower is ours (including the dracolich). Time to mop up all remaining demons.

I am kinda hoping the archons will stay and teach Dany and Lya somw good aligned spells. Also, they mighr help Lya learn to consecrate in the name of Knowledge domain.
 
Wait I though we were linking access to the demiplane to Viserys's approval as well as the pillar itself. Also anybody else want to make a few more hours of those gates and make them into planar gates to useful planes like molten skies like the mirror shield. Activation keyed to us of course. Make the tower our planar hub as it were.
