[Grynn] Tock makes a Gazebo, a Portal and a Guild.

[Note: The greater details of these can be found on Grady's meeting notes on the Briarpatch website]


The group attended an Oath of Liegies in which a bunch of really powerful people did minor things of great consequence. They started with celebrating the return of a dwarvish sword by elves, but explained that this would not be sufficient to undo all the dwarves had suffered...but it would be a nice start, and the elf they liked who had helped them not die as they fled Myth Dranor and had lived with them for thousands of years could come back and be their pal again.

Instead, the dwarves argued, it was required that Scornuble(sp?) the Psyhotic Dragon of....some place the dwarves wanted to live...be slain. The elves agreed. Everyone agreed. Ulshania also verified that the sword was the right sword. She also presented a bill for items removed from her near carcass after her first and subsequent murder attempts. Mira, in a show of Largess, did not return the items liberated from Ulshania, but did pay her THOUSANDS of gold coins in front of lots of people. Most of the reputations in the group increased.

Then the Oath started to list Things That Needed Doing. Most of which, the group said no thanks to. A few notes were taken about potential future things to do, but since the two lead plans on taking out the dragon involve retrieving uber powerful weapons or retrieving a dragon orb in the underdark, action at this time was tabled. At that point, that was about to be the end of things, when Mira summoned the dragon who had allowed Scornuble to not die (disintigrating the weapon that was going to kill it) and a discussion ensued. It was shown that there are indeed two sides to every story, and this just dragon that had moved on to the next life as an Avatar of Justice...sacrificed his own life in order to use his left over dragon parts to be made into a weapon the council was seeking. No more plans were set after that.

Tock was officially made into a Lord of 10 square feet of lantan...but he was a lord.

There were many funerals for the dead dragon.

Then the group went back to Sunhome where they freed Belvin from the frame job he had gone under. While Mira and Belvin were recovering from it all, Tock and Calwen came up with a plan to get them to Lantan and the portal that would take them to the dragon academy Tock had told them about but been unable to attend due to the yank of Random Accidently. Tock came up with an elaborate ritual and Calwen provided the chaylite and the magical mojo. It worked.

There was now a portal between a hidden cave near the mouth of gods and Lantan....right in Creed's front lawn. Tock realized this might be bad, so he founded a Scrivner's guild and raised a gazeebo over it so no one was the wiser. Turned out it was the 10 square feet he was also the lord of.

Calwen had a deck of Awesome and Terrible stuff he wanted to try out. He got a house out of the deal. Tock tried it and got a stat boost (major), something bad he doesn't know what it is, and an enemy and a temporary friend. Net negative but the stat boost was nice. He also gained in power and stature after taking the soul damage from making the portal, and became a more powerful Timelord. Zook, a scrivner and sailor, determned that Tock was a good person to learn from, and joined the group.

Tock began considering disolving the guild or stepping down as guild master once it looked like a beuracratic nightmare and he hadn't set up a two way communication back to Lantan yet.

Time will tell whether or not it is a good idea...
