Days of Travel
Day 38-40
Teleportation, several reduce spells and a teleport back bring the gorristro body, intact because of its greater tanar'ri status, back to Yigu'ha Sv'uess. Raven provides the body, hard currency for 2 potions of deftness (dex 18), 4 oils of allspice II - bonuses to saves vs. spells, 3 potions super-heroism, and red paint pigments of blackmoor -fighter hd to those smeared up. Also purchases his usual order, 8 applications of dust of disappearance, and 5 vials of poison.
The sage Zenotabis is contracted to further research the Mud Sorcerers' chronicles, linking any rumors or evidence of a fabled second tomb within the vast Cold Marshes. After meetings with these two fellow members of the Order of the Eclipse, Lord Blackbird arranges a trade in the Scriptorium for spell inks and spell book inscribing. Inks for three writing of each spell are commissioned. Entering the Order's library for research, three spells (deathfog 6th, control weather 6th, and contingency 6th) are available to the inner circle, the Thirtysix Invisibles of the Order of the Eclipse. Raven, being one, is granted access to the inner library for spell research - maximum 6th level clearance without and elder petition. In return, Raven trades two scrolls: Protection vs. Earth, Protection vs. werewolves, and a potion of yellow dragon breath (dragons only). Hard currency and electrum bars are given for the ink, with a sage's wage and percentage of spoils promised to Zenotabis.
Day 41-80
Control weather, deathfog and contingency are researched. After a day per level a piece, a successful chance to know was made for each. Another day per level per spell of transcribing to the safety of his spellbook is also successful. Rest required between each spell. Some small side effects from researching a spell a level higher require some unexpected days of rest, and bits of delusional paranoia. While research went on, the inks for scrolling are completed by the Scriptorium.
Day 81-82
Raven returns to the swamp to make sure all are prepared. The boat has been outfitted with the necessary supplies for a year journey. Bedding, study materials, prayer equipment, armor and workout, etc. outft the boay. Some kegs of wine (2) and kegs of oil (10) also on board. Modified defenses include four mud golems within the War captain' room. After review, decides he needs more ink for scrolling on his journey. Returns to the Scriptorium to commission a huge amount of ink -
5 fireball 2 available 5 fly all
3 haste 2 available 3 slow 1 available
2 prot vs n mis all 10 charm monster 3 available
2 minor globe all 5 stoneskin all
2 teleport 1 available
Takes what is ready now, makes payment in full, and promises to return periodically to the Scriptorium for collect what has been completed.
Day 83
Lord Blackbird, Yurgrim and Blindhelm begin the voyage. We estimated thirty hexes of travel to the edge of the Burneal Forest along the Fler River. The first leg of the journey is getting the Mudship from the swamp to the Velverdyva River, a 70 miles crossing. Following trickingly streambeds, the Urivoy traverses the land-river in a 14 hr span - for now, four out the five crew members, Raven, Blindhelm, Yurgrim, Patch(and
Damien), take the helm in shifts.
Day 84
As a point of non-detection and limiting random encounters, once to the river, all travel was decided to be underwater. Raven withdraws from helm duty to begin writing spells in the lower hold. Mudship heads up river to Lake Quag.
Day 87-122
8 days to traverse 360 miles to the mouth of lake Quag against the current, averaging 5 mph underwater, 72 hours of movement required - 14 hrs a day = 70 miles modified for going against the current. Day 91: 12th day of underwater travel, now along western bank near the Mounds of Dawn, proceeding to cross to the mouth of the Fler River. Day 94 at river, 15th of voyage. 23rd of voyage, Day 102, upstream Fler River at the base of the Burneal Forest entrance. Day 104, 25th of voyage, pause inside forest to complete scroll writing. While Raven continues to toil, exploration and scouting of the fortress begins; Blindhelm by water, Damien by air, Patch by land. Yurgrim remains to captain the Urivoy. Raven completes scrolls on 43rd day of voyage, Day 122.
