The Morning (DM JohnP) Monday May 24th, 2010 10:43:28 PM
Morning comes eventually to the town of Heranmar, the light of the rising sun slowly growing in intensity to first obscure and then cast light upon the town. Perhaps the sun doesn't rise in exactly the same spot that it once did, but that is a small thing compared to what some other parts of the Southern Continent have experienced with the Great Migration.
The Children of Chaos have made their last minute preparations for the return to Peerimus' Grove and the planned trip to the Valley of Ahl. Torgon has been scratching at his back for the last while, slipping his armor aside so that he could get at something just between his shoulder blades. Rash catches a glimpse of this and sees the faint, raised outlines of a familiar tattoo.
Xenia, like Rash, has been musing about plans for the future. Settling down and starting a business are merely one option among many.
Firn'gaer and Peerimus have been silent as they make their last minute preparations.
The sun is now high enough in the sky to start burning off the mist and it promises to be a beautiful day here in Heranmar. What the day will be like in the Valley of Ahl, or wherever they go, is still unknown. But it is now time to go out to the grove where Peerimus plans to start their journey.

Torgon gears up, and prepares to follow Peerimus to his grove. "Let's finish this. It is time for things to return to normal."

Xenia (AC33/ HP103/103) Tuesday May 25th, 2010 3:18:15 PM
Xenia, along with the other Chaos Guys, makes the short walk out the north (Or, is it now the west?) gate of Heranmar and across the green to Peerimus' grove. Her eye roves the crushed and beaten foliage for the cute little badger family that used to call this grove their home. Being here when the Mechas showed up musta been like having a mountain fall nearby - complete with evil dragons and everything.
"So ... " the slim dark girl stares up at the sky and talks as though to herself. "We're gonna let the wish just jump us into this Court of Law, huh? I mean, how we gonna know what we're jumpin' into? I mean, we know that the Court of Law is on another plane, right? On the Law plane or sump'in. We know the Mechas come from there, right? That's it, though. We don't know nothin' else."
"How do we know if we can live on the Plane of Law? What if they don't got no air? Mechas don't look like they need air." She shrugs. "I'm just saying, would be good to know sump'in 'bout where we're going a'fore we go there. Anybody know this Plane oh Law? Fernie?"

Durgan Stonewall (AC 38; HP 270/270) Tuesday May 25th, 2010 3:52:11 PM
Durgan gets back from the catacombs, pleased with his equipment upgrades. "Well Xenia, I don't know about air, but I bought a few scrolls that might help out. You know, the one that saved me brudder's life."
Durgan hands a scroll of heal(cl15) to Xenia, Torgon, Rash, and Peerimus. (One for each of you)
"Huh. I see some of ye have been getting yer tattoos back. I wonder if mine will return too?"
Rash Tuesday May 25th, 2010 8:36:41 PM
Rash looks stunned at the talk of planes walking. I thought we were going to the center of the Southern Continent. How...why...Are you sure we are going to another plane? When did that happen?"
Xenia (AC33/ HP103/103) Tuesday May 25th, 2010 9:51:24 PM
"Thanks, Durgan." The dark rogue opens the flap that seals one of the pouches on her magic bag and peers in. It's always been this way. Dark. And yet when she wants something, all she needs to do is think and reach. It's there. Magic. Go figure. She puts the scroll inside.
"Don'tcha 'member the voice that spoke to me at the Edge Place, Momma Rash?" Xenia asks. "'So as you can see, Xenia,'" the girl rogue roughens her voice to mimic the tone and timbre of the voice she heard on the winds of the Edge. "'there is no way to get you to the Court of Law using the Greater Teleportation spell, for the Court of Law is on another Plane. When you first saw me at Heranmar, I helped you get to the Court of Law. And since I'm telling you now, you were able to hear me at the Edge then.'"
"That's what my voice said. We talked about it, right? I mean, it was us what figured it could be the Plane of Law. But really, it could be the Plane of Anchovies for all we know."
"I wonder who the voice was. Er ... is. I mean, is supposed to be, I guess. And if we use the wish and don't meet this voice, how is it that the voice spoke to me at the rock on the Edge?" Xenia shakes her head. "'S confuselling."

"I'm not sure I follow Xenia, Weren't you told that we have been to the Nalley already. I thought that is what was said. That we knew how to get there as we had already been there?" Peerimus pauses and continues thinking, "The wish has already set us in motion to go. At this point I don't think we have a choice."
"What we don't know is what kind of reception may be immediately waiting for us. Rash can you augury if we should be combat ready upon arrival?"

Bailiff (DM JohnP) Tuesday May 25th, 2010 11:11:27 PM
The group is walking out to the Grove, discussing the coming trip as they go. Torgon, like some of the others, is ready for the Great Migration to end. Xenia confuses everyone with her re-call of the echoes that she heard at the Edge, about going to the Court of Law on another Plane, when Rash thought that they were merely (?) going to use Peerimus' wish to travel to the Valley of Ahl. The druid has been pretty silent, waiting to cast his spell and summon an angel.
Xenia is the first to notice the small glowing ball of light in the sky. If it weren't so high, it might be mistaken for a will'o'wisp but such a creature never glowed so bright. As they watch, the light seems to either expand in size or brighten in intensity until it becomes difficult to look directly upon it. The light must be descending since their shadows lengthen and stretch behind them, and close enough that everyone can feel a heat nearly like that of the forge.
Then, in an instant, the light and heat is gone.
In it's place is a tall, well-formed giant of a man taller than any of them. Durgan figures the creature is easily twice his own 4 and a quarter feet, maybe a bit more. Xenia and Rash notice the sun-bronzed skin, auburn hair and the firm, developed muscles of the creature's shoulders and arms revealed by its sleeveless tunic, not to mention the creature's grace as it bows to them.
"I am the Bailiff of the Courts of Law. Will you heed the Summons?"
Rash Wednesday May 26th, 2010 12:29:48 AM
Rash bows low in return and glances up enjoying the view. "I serve at the will of the Powers, but they also caution wisdom in these things. What is the summons too? Are we being judged in the Court of Law? Some of your lawful kind have already seemed to judge us and pronounce the sentence forgoing any trial. Is this your intent? To put us on trial?"

The large Minotaur looks at the giant, and by appearances, doesn't seem to be something the group can't handle, but he is well aware that appearances can be deceiving. He slides his hand towards his chain, remembering how the last encounter with beings from the court of law went, but refrains from taking it in hand while he waits for Rash and Peerimus decide which way this is to go.

Xenia (AC33/ HP103/103) d20+27=44 ; Wednesday May 26th, 2010 10:00:16 AM
"No it was, um ... when we first saw the Voice Guy he helped us get there." Xenia threads the complex weave of time and implication in reply to Peerimus' question. "I mean, 'cause we haven't met him yet, we can't have been there, right?"
But then the light comes, and it brings the big Bailiff Guy with it. Or, leastwise that's how it seems.
"Yeah, I mean, the Court of Law was where we were wanting to go anyway," she says, quick on the heels of the stuff Momma Rash is saying. "But we gotta go on from there to the Valley of Ahl to fix stuff so that the Wold don't get destroyed down. So, yeah, heeding your summons might be a good thing. Unless it means we get stopped there."
"Um, do you mind doing sump'in for me?" Xenia approaches the bronze giant without fear. Standing below him, she looks up into his face. "Couldja say these words for me? 'And since I'm telling you now, you were able to hear me at the Edge then.'" Xenia speaks the words and then pulls her mass of red hair back from one ear and cocks her head to one side. The better, of course, to listen. Then she waits to match the Bailiff Guy's voice to the voice that spoke to her from the winds of the Edge.

"I agree that the Court of Law and the Valley of Ahl is off plane, but I also think it is the same place where we defeated Ga'al and his plans to subjugate the Wold even beyond death." Peerimus stops short as Xenia glances skyward. "We seem to be quite a popular group." he muses quietly as he watches the ball of light descend. With the increasing heat, he places a steady hand on Yorrick the other gripping his staff slightly more so. At first Peerimus suspects the being to be the angel he planned to summon, but he quickly dismisses the thought as he had not yet cast the spell. Peerimus steps just forward so as to assume the position of Leadership of the group before answering. "I am Peerimus druid of Heranmar and leader of the Champions of Chaos." He inclines his head slightly, but keeps his eyes on the Baliff.
"The need of the task before us is great and the time left is dwinddling quickly. The creature Ga'al of the north set into motion that great change that now is about us and to the preservation of all we are set. thereofre we ask Who issues the summons and to what purpose it may be?" [Diplomacy 32]

Durgan waits to see what the man will do next.
The Summons (DM JohnP) Wednesday May 26th, 2010 11:09:49 PM
The Children of Chaos carefully consider the sudden appearance of the Bailiff and his words. Some, like Torgon, are considering the group's last encounter with servants of the Courts of Law. The Bailiff listens to the questions that Rash and the others ask and responds with careful consideration.
As they wait for a response, the Children of Chaos get more time to study the Bailiff. Knowledge - Planes DC 14 - Highlight to display spoiler: {The Bailiff is an outsider.} Knowledge - Planes DC 24 - Highlight to display spoiler: {The Bailiff is a planetar.}
"I apologize for the hasty actions of some members of the Court. A summary conviction had been entered into the Record against you and penalty assessed. Some junior, and more literal, membrs of the Court took it upon themselves to immediately carry out the penalty."
"Again, please accept my apology and that of the entire Court for their actions conducted in haste. The penalty is so rarely assessed for a summary conviction that your right to defend yourselves before the full Court was not recalled by those junior members."
"If you wish to defend yourselves before the Court, I can transport you there. As you state, time is drawing short for the task that awaits you. You will find that the trial will take little time here, in the Material World."
"Please state your intentions so that I may either transport you, or enter your decision in the Record."
Xenia (AC33/ HP103/103) Wednesday May 26th, 2010 11:24:18 PM
OoC: Does Xenia recognize the Bailiffs voice as the one she heard on the Edge?
Rash d20+6=9 ; d20+6=20 ; Wednesday May 26th, 2010 11:48:19 PM
Rash recognizes the baliff as a plantetar and sends the information to the others through the tattoos.
Rash listens to the angel speaking and steps back and says, "Excuse me, need to consult the higher powers." Rash will cast an Augury spell asking, "Would it be beneficial to go before the Court of Law?"
As she awaits the answer, she poses a couple of questions of her own asking, "I would ask some questions if I may before we travel with you to the court. First what gives you the right to judge us in the first place? What crimes are we accused of committing that would cause you to convict us and sentence us to death."
Rash is starting to get a bit heated, color coming to her face. "Your allies also came and injured innocent creatures and destroyed a sacred grove. That was before we even arrived! I have to doubt that we would receive a fair hearing if your court is already trying to kill us before we can even speak!"
Rash gathers control of herself and more calmly asks, "Your race is known for its wisdom. Would you go before a Court of Chaos in our situation? We don't even know what we are accused of."

"Yeah ... Well ... 'Kay ... " The dark girl gives the Bailiff Guy a strange Aren't-You-Just-Way-Too-Calm-And-Understated sort of look. Again she listens to assess the voice of the shining giant and match it against the voice that she heard on the Edge. Despite this though, she's already made up her mind, about what they should do.
"You do know that your Junior Members got themselves killed down, don't you? As in ... *lost* *their* *lives*? If you don't mind me saying, you sound really pretty casual about that. But, I guess that Law's never been much a thing about lives and all. More just a thing about being Lawful no matter what the cost of life, huh?"
"Laws never been 'bout makin' sense, Momma Rash. Law's never needed no justification 'cept itself. Laws are made by those with power to control stuff so that they can stay in power. Even if it does good for some folks along the way, in the end it's all about power."
"But I guess I'll go with you. The Winds said we gotta go to the Court of Law before we can get to the Valley of Ahl. If we gotta go, then this seems the best way to get there."

Peerimus AC 34 HP 137/137 and Yorrick AC 42 HP 160/160 Thursday May 27th, 2010 9:43:56 PM
Peerimus inhales slowly trying to dismiss his own rise as Rash begins to get worked up. "Rash." He finally says even as she calms herself, "The Baliff is likely very aware, but is not to whom we need to speak about this. We will be entering our own Conviction against the Chamberlain and into the Record and upon completion of our task we will be holding our trial and put to task the Court of Law." Peerimus speaks evenly and attempts to keep out irritation and anger from his tone.
He then looks back to the Baliff. "The Courts apology will be taken under consideration during the Chamberlains trial. That will be at a different time." Peerimus steps slightly back from the Baliff, "Our intentions are to go before the Court and lay this matter to rest."
The Druid's head swims. The Court of Law and defending themselves. The thoughts had a mulitude of considerations and possibilities. Only yesterday they defended themselves before a portion of the Court and a Powerful group it was with a well laid plan. If this was anywhere along that level, he did not thnk it likely any of them would survive the mistake. Another trailing thought, they were still under the power of the Wish from the Deck, crafted and granted by the Powers of Chaos to take them to the Valley of Ahl at noon this day. What they had to do now was to live that long, for if the Court was truly on another plane, Peerimus knew he had no way of getting home or likely anywhere else once he was there.

The Summons - Part II (DM JohnP) d100=26 ; Thursday May 27th, 2010 10:50:48 PM
Rash takes the time to cast a divination spell, waiting patiently for the Gods of the Wold to respond after demanding that the Bailiff answer several questions. The planetar nods in acknowledgement of what the cleric has said before responding.
"The Court of Law exists to judge matters of Chaos and Law. Your group is affiliated with Chaos and has served to increase the influence of Chaos within the Wold so, therefore, you are within the Court's purview."
"As to whether I would submit to a Court of Chaos, I would if I were so commanded. That is purely hypothetical, though, since Chaos has not organized itself sufficiently to hold such a Court. The lack of formal notice of the charges against you is duly noted."
The Bailiff's voice sounds strangely familliar to Xenia as he responds to the questions posed by Rash and the others. The planetar listens to the rogue's questions and responds when she has finished. At the end, though, Xenia has acceded to being transported to the Courts of Law.
"They would have been judged themselves for their precipitous, unlawful actions if they had survived. Law can be seen to have been observed by your capable actions."
Kazak and Durgan are both ready to go, too. Firn'gaer is silent.
Peerimus tries to calm Rash before acceding himself.
Rash only - Highlight to display spoiler: {Weal}
After all have accepted transport to the Courts of Law, the Bailiff reaches over his shoulder and draws a large greatsword from some hidden scabbard. Moving slowly and carefully so as to not alarm anyone, the planetar carefully scribes a circle in the dirt around the Children of Chaos and himself.
"Please stay within the Circle. Failing to do so would be ... chaotic, for all."
Rash Friday May 28th, 2010 6:31:50 AM
Through the tattoos, Rash messages the others saying, "The Powers agree. We need to go to the Court of Law. They seem to believe that it would be beneficial. Of course some of the powers don't really like us that much..."
Rash steps into the circle to await the transportation. "I have a feeling this is going to be interesting."

Torgon AC: 34 HP : 180/180 Friday May 28th, 2010 7:29:17 AM
Torgon steps into the circle with the others planning to go. He didn't care too much one way about Law or Chaos, as both had their places, and both could be problematic. The Gods themselves steered him toward the group, and the gods themselves were who he would ultimately have to answer to.
"Let's get this over with, and get to the Valley. Far as I can see, we haven't done anything wrong since I've been with you."
Xenia (AC33/ HP103/103) Friday May 28th, 2010 9:19:08 AM
The girl rogue shakes her head as she steps into the circle.
"I don't think you get it, Torgie." It's not something that all the Wold doesn't know already, but sometimes it's best not to antagonize twelve-foot-tall, bronze Angel Guys with the truth. So thinking Xenia whispers her opinion to the others through their special Message tattoo instead of speaking it out loud. "Law Guys don't need you to have done nothing wrong as far as *you* see. All you need to have done is sump'in wrong as far as *they* see."
"Law Guys, they don't work offa sense. What they got is Rules. You break their rules and you're in trouble. It don't matter if the Rules don't make sense."
"How do you figure it was that the Mechas got around to fighting us till they were all killed down? What good come of that? Did that make any sense at all? No! I don't think they were bad guys, but they lost their lives and they wrecked Peerimus' grove."
The dark girl puts on a sulky face and crosses her slim arms across her shallow chest as she waits for the Angel's Circle Thing to get working. "No sense at all. Go figure."

As messages thru the tattoos fly ..... the dwarven warrior smiles at the bailiffs choice of words as he steps inside of the bailiffs circle .... " chaotic indeed "

Peerimus AC 34 HP 137/137 and Yorrick AC 42 HP 160/160 Friday May 28th, 2010 9:33:51 PM
Xenia was dead on and Peerimus did not like it. He saw a great deal of possible outcomes with the Court of Law and far too many did not end well.Whether any thought of themselves as agents of Chaos they all were. That was the plain and simple truth. They were emotional creatures, vested in the material Wold and they would act on those emotions. In short, they were all mortal. Peerimus speaks through the tattoo as well, though he is quite sure the Baliff can hear, "The most important thing everyone must do is to control themselves. Turn your filter on high and think before you speak. Xenia is right, our opinion and the concept of Good and such is very likely irrelavant"
Peerimus casts Shapechange, sharing the spell with Yorrick from his staff as the Planetar draws the circle

Durgan Stonewall (AC 38; HP 270/270) Friday May 28th, 2010 9:46:17 PM
Durgan shifts from side to side, looking over his beard at the ground to make sure he is within the circle. "Well, it can't be any worse than a teleport or shadow walk eh?"
Durgan wonders what everyone is whispering about. His tattoo still hadn't returned, and he was out of the message loop. HE waits quietly, and wonders what will happen next.
To the Court of Law (DM JohnP) Sunday May 30th, 2010 10:37:28 PM
The Bailiff completes his circle after everyone has accepted the offer of transport to the Court of Law. The planetar then scribes some symbols inside and completes the preparations of whatever he is about to do.
"This isn't a teleportation, in case you are wondering. But it might feel that way. I apologize for any discomfort that any of you may feel, but this is necessary"
As the Bailiff continues to speak, the circle begins to emit light. The light increases in intensity until only shadows of the Wold can be seen, lasting images in the vision of the Children of Chaos. Then, as the light fades, the Children see that they are in a totally different place.
"So as you can see, Xenia, there is no way to get you to the Court of Law using the Greater Teleportation spell, for the Court of Law is on another Plane. When you first saw me at Heranmar, I helped you get to the Court of Law. And since I'm telling you now, you were able to hear me at the Edge then."
The planetar looks slightly puzzled at the words that have just come from his mouth, but realizes that whatever question he answered for Xenia must have a place in the great plan.
"The Court of Law is just there, through the archway. Please follow me and I will take you to the Defendants' Bench. You may rest there and take refreshment while the Members of the Court assemble. The Trial is scheduled to start very soon and no Member will be late to the Court of Law."
Durgan Stonewall (AC 38; HP 270/270) Sunday May 30th, 2010 11:25:28 PM
"Refreshment eh? Well, we'll just see if their idea of refreshment, and my idea of refreshment are the same idea. Humph." Durgan waits until everyone is ready to go. Then he follows into the Court.
Xenia (AC33/ HP103/103) Monday May 31st, 2010 10:27:54 AM
The green eyes of the girl rogue go wide as the Angel Guy speaks the words that she heard on the Edge of the Wold. That's the voice! *That's* the voice.
This, then, is how it's all supposed to work out.
"Um ... mind if we walk around a bit too?" Xenia asks as she follows Angel Guy through the archway to some Defendants' Bench. "I mean, while we're waiting for your Members Assembly and all, you know? I mean, seeing as how I've never been here a'fore, and been out of plane only once, I thought it might be nice to see what it's like. Maybe meet some folks or sump'in."
"Whaddya think? Would it be alright?"

Rash Monday May 31st, 2010 4:12:51 PM
Rash takes a deep breath in as they travel the planes and lets it out with a whoosh when they arrive. She follows along seeming at peace but keeping an eye out on Xenia.
Torgon AC: 34 HP : 180/180 Monday May 31st, 2010 5:41:33 PM
Torgon follows along, hoping for the best, but fearing the worst. He feels confidant that Rash and Peerimus will do a good job presenting our best case...unless there are a few trees subject to punishment.
"I think your and my idea of refreshment may not be a wise choice at the moment Durgan. If it helps though, once this mess is over... the drinks are on me."
Kazak Stonewall.Ac 36 Hp 203/212) Monday May 31st, 2010 6:58:37 PM
Kkazak glamers his armor to look like normal clothing .... " not dat dey don't know .... just looks like i'm a trying " muses the dwarf to himself
Heading over to the refreshment area .... he grabs a tall glass of iced tea ..... then heads to the defendants bench ...." thanks sir Bailiff ....to your word of honor and kindness in taking us here " ..... as the dwarven warrior raises his glass of iced tea in toast
Grabbing a seat in front .... the dwarven army sergeant takes a seat and relaxes ....sipping his ice tea
