Wyaar gave restlin a disapproving look at the idea of tying the man up but is glad it didn't come to that. The box gets eyed too and he furrows his brows with s look to the StAr Mage, "Did you happen to bring a way of testing dimensional signals or whatever it was with you?"

Bosk's hand tightens around his sword. Transmission, like we are going to hear it? You are no actually summing him to us are you?
DM Mitch Monday September 24th, 2018 8:33:40 AM Restlin tries to detect magic on the box Chuck is fiddling away with, it is very strange as it isn’t magical but it feels as if it was being powered by some kind of lightning evocation but it isn’t.
Garret is puzzled by what Chuck is doing.
Tink watches what Chuck is doing and sees some kind of wave pattern on the device as well as hearing different jumbled noises as he turns the dials.
Wyaar is glad they didn’t have to tie Chuck up and asks Agatha is she has a way of testing dimensional signals with her.
Bosk tightens his hand around his sword and asks Chuck if he is going to summon him to them.
Agatha says to Wyaar, “I got one of those in both packs some where, just one thing at a time. I’m trying to figure out if I should conserve the magic field. Who knows what this box does I don’t know if my magic will interfere with this new magic this world seems to possess, those spinning fan blades, that black mirror and now this box all do things in response to Chuck’s stimuli yet none radiate magic, it feels like they are almost being powered by something reminiscent of a lightning evocation but it isn’t.”
Chuck says to Bosk, “I’m not summoning him, way to stay in character, I’m just trying to find the channel that spoke of him.”
Finally Chuck seems satisfied and a voice speaks over the radio, “This is Lazer Hawk. Can anyone hear me? Dr Henrichzimmerschneit has really done it this time. Not only does he have his mad nearly indestructible robot body housing his brain but he’s created 8 robots with terrifying weapons that I fear are more than Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man and the tribe can handle. We’ve tried using hit and run tactics against them but the damage we do has been nominal. If anyone is out there we would welcome them to the cause. “
The message starts to repeat while Agatha starts fiddling with something else in her backpack.

Hmm...so maybe this Chuck guy is just a detour. Sounds like what they really need is on the other side of that device he has. He looks over the Agatha, fairly sure she's had the same idea.
"Does it transmit as well, or can we just listen?" Restlin really carefully watches Chuck fiddle with the device, trying to get a handle on how it works.

Garret listens in and wonders, "Should we go help them? Can we help them? Where are they?"
Zane (JCC) AC 31, CMB 22, CMD 38, HP 268/268, Blindsense 60' Character Monday September 24th, 2018 2:09:32 PM
Zane wonders if this Brosdcast or whatever it is called, is enough of a link... "Is this thing enough of a link to open a portal? If so, do it and we'll go."
Wyaar ( Sheet) AC 38/20/33, CMD 44 , HP 169/169, DR 5/Evil Monday September 24th, 2018 9:04:44 PM
Wyaar looks to Agatha, the expert in this case, but certainly seems ready to try and leap through the device.

Over the link Beri responds to Zane. I would assume it is enough of a link. With the books we were trying to open a portal with something already removed and relocated to our dimension. Here we have a live, direct link that we can verify is correctly tuned. The real question is whether we can copy the frequency, but it looks like Agatha is a few steps ahead of us on that already.
Beri listens to the repeating message, the voice seems convincing enough.
Well, whether it's an indy radio station really is from another dimension, it sounds like they could use some help. By any chance, when you were listening to this in the past did you ever hear confirmation of someone using magic or having supernatural powers? Or mention of weak points that the enemies tend to have? Anything that could help us if we were to fight along side them out in... a crossover?

Bosk looks at the bookshelf for anything on the Iron Dragons as an idea occurs to him. A stupid, irrational idea. Yet how many superstitions and legends had he personally experienced first hand and discovered to be true. This might seem unorthodox, but could I commission you to write a novella or short story involving Bosk? I have the gold coins with which to pay. Bosk lays down a hand full of gold coins, both those of Hook City and ones with his picture on them.

Tink still wonders about flipping through some of the books here to sneak a peek at the endings. Or to at least see how accurate the writing is.
DM Mitch Tuesday September 25th, 2018 7:59:15 AM Restlin thinks that Chuck seems like a detour and that Agatha has the same idea. He asks Chuck if it can send as well as receive.
Restlin gets the idea that one of the knobs effects how loud the sounds coming over it are while another adjusts the wave pattern on the device.
Chuck says to Restlin, “Sorry Sam but the transmitter broke and I could never find a replacement for this model.”
Garret asks if they can and should help and also where are the ones who need help.
Zane asks if the broadcast is enough to open a portal and if so he votes for doing it and then going.
Wyaar looks to Agatha and considers leaping through the device.
Beri opines that the radio transmissions could be used to create a new portal and asks Chuck questions about what they might face.
Bosk offers some gold to the author. He stares at Bosk dubiously and glances at the gold coins doubtfully - sense motive 10 Highlight to display spoiler: {he seems to think that they’re fake. Or that you’re all insane}. ”Aren’t you taking this in character thing to far? And I don’t do commissions sorry.”
Chuck says, “Well Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man does have some ninja abilities and there are some null blades on both sides of the conflict but other than that I think abilities of the dramatis personae are more technological than supernatural.”
Agatha says, “Give me some time to calibrate the portal generator in the backpack and then we should be able to proceed the only thing is I don’t know if we will be able to retrieve the portal generator once we are on the other side. I also don’t know how hard it will be to journey back home once we are 2 portals removed. I’ll try to set something up to travel, if you have anything else you want to do here better do it quick.”

Restlin makes little air quotes, even though he's communicating over the ring.
Anyway, this guy should probably get out of their way for a bit. "Thank you for your hospitality, Chuck. We're gonna put you to sleep now and try to save our world. When you wake up, you should really have that gold Bosk gave you checked out (sense motive autopass), then write his story. He's earned a good solo novel."
Restlin casts sleep on Chuck. It's been a long time since that spell's been useful! Save VS DC 28 or he goes nighty night.

Garret says, "Another portal to another place? Will the red lights mean 'Go' there? This is starting to sound like it might be an endless quest into alternate realities, almost like we're sliding from one place to another..."
Zane (JCC) AC 31, CMB 22, CMD 38, HP 268/268, Blindsense 60' Character Tuesday September 25th, 2018 1:47:06 PM "Wouldn't he make a good anchor to bring us back here, so that Dock can bring us home from here?"

Well, hopefully we'll see that magic still works. Otherwise, we'll just have to fight the odds and help our Robo Ninja. Either way, we're not about to turn our backs on a call for help. Keep an ear on that Radio thing of yours, assuming they accept our help this is sure to be an interesting broadcast.

If the man is our to sleep Bosk asks the others, Did Starblazer have the ability to go to other planes? Could he help us?
DM Mitch Wednesday September 26th, 2018 7:58:42 AM
Tink asks if they should take Chuck with them.
Restlin opines they have plenty of guidebooks and that some of the group has read the books he then puts Chuck to sleep.
Garret is incredulous about needing another portal to another place and wonders if they will be sliding indefinitely.
Zane suggests Chuck might make a good anchor.
Beri is worried the rings aren’t working. He suggests the sleeping Chuck keep an eye on the radio.
Wyaar says more story ideas should be available.
Bosk wonders if Starblazer could help.
Agatha fires a ray from her backpack at the device Chuck was fiddling with and a portal starts to open. She says, “I don’t think we’ll have too long with this one being open so you’d better hurry and if we are taking him,” nodding to the sleeping Chuck, “someone better grab him.”
She takes the backpack off and it is kind of leaning on a stand like setup and grabs the grapple from the pack as she starts approaching the portal. “I’m going to try to pull it from the other side, but if that doesn’t work, I’ll need the spare pack.”

Garret takes a quick jump and makes a kung-fu move as he jumps into the portal.

Tink hurriedly tries to grab a book or two on the Robo guy. It's possible they may have some inside info that may come in handy. She would like to have read the IA books but time doesn't look to be with them.
Once she has a couple of the books she too jumps into the portal.

Restlin must be missing something about the value of taking Chuck. He lets the man sleep and hops through the portal.
Zane (JCC) AC 31, CMB 22, CMD 38, HP 268/268, Blindsense 60' Character Wednesday September 26th, 2018 11:50:00 AM
Zane, grabs the man and tosses him over his shoulder, and steps through the portal.

Sesha looks wearily at this machine Agatha built, hoping her trust wasn't misplaced. In the Wold she was Matron-In-Waiting of an entire house. Obviously she'd end up ruling whatever world they ended up in, but she'd rather not start at the beginning again.
She heads through the portal.

Knowing that they may never return here, Beri makes one quick glance around the shop to make sure there is nothing important the need to bring. He then head through the portal with the others, ready for any dangers that may be waiting for him on the other side,.

Wyaar leaps through the portal with a quick, quiet prayer to his queen.
Quantum Leap... (DM Hugh) Thursday September 27th, 2018 10:44:50 AM
The Iron Dragons enter yet another portal picking up some books and Chuck along the way. Beri grabs both the black mirror device Chuck was pressing buttons on and the pronged cord plugged into the wall before entering the portal.
Wherever you were before shifts and the party finds itself in a blasted wasteland sparsely dotted with some sort of metal wreckage or sickly trees in a few places. Agatha manages to pull the backpack through the portal before it shuts completely.
“I’m glad that worked, I wonder if we are in Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man’s world or somewhere else?” Agatha says.
Sesha - Carl subbing Thursday September 27th, 2018 12:49:53 PM
Sesha looks around. Not the most inviting landscape she'd ever seen. She thinks back from what she read in the comic...er, graphic novels. Does this look like Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man's home?

Restlin pops off a quick detect magic, wondering if his spells worked here.
"Guess hoping we'd get a friendly welcoming committee was a bit too much to ask for. Dock, can you still fly here? It'd probably help to look around from up there. I'm not sure how safe that is to do away from Agatha's device, though."
Zane (JCC) AC 31, CMB 22, CMD 38, HP 268/268, Blindsense 60' Character Thursday September 27th, 2018 12:59:40 PM "Not sure about Dock, but considering I hardly ever hide my wings any more, want me to scout a bit? If you do, who wants to carry our sleeping friend?" Zane stretches out his wings and briefly sees if they'll carry him here, where here is....

Garret lands in the sand and plops down. He picks up some sand with his hand and lets it run through his fingers. He looks to see what else he can see, perhaps moving (perception: 49).

Beri examines the mirror device, then puts it safely in his bag of holding so it won't break. Hmm, before the portal took us exactly where we had zoned in on. I wonder if that means that whoever was sending that message asking for help is very close.
The druid looks over the landscape, making sure that whatever blasted this area before isn't about to strike again. He also looks for the source of the radio broadcast, and the Robo Ninja... and anything else noteworthy in this waste land.
