We drag everything back to the Teleportation circle, and POOF... back at the Tower with a dragons heart, and a SHITLOAD of loot... This takes a while

Erhart reappeared after a moment or two and screwed up his face. He had always disliked magic....but had tolerated and grown to welcome it's use around his companion, Fearghal. He looked up and surveyed the group as they came through the circle, Dumping the two bags he had over his shoulder on the ground as a multitude of coin poured from the sack like a neverending waterfall.

"How was minding the Child?" He grinned at Fearghal, looking over at the Mythallar briefly

The next day, the Ritual circle was prepared to carry the mages and Torma through the rest of the casting. The magelings arrived on time and were given copies of their chants to perform The dragon's heart was placed in the center of the tower and magically warded to be proof against decay

Astinius stepped into the center of the circle inside the towers primary casting chamber, his mind slkippesd into the weave.. where it would remain for some time

"Wingardia estarvar entilia...."

When the ritual is completed, the tower's fopundation and all built upon it rise into the air! Mythalar included

Fearghal chuckled softly and watched the group as they dragged through the supplies gathered from the raid on the "Ah, child indeed, and with all the potential for wonder and devestation as any other child...."

Erhart chuckled and shook his head slightly. He features darked after a moment and he closed the distance to speak with Fearghal away from the ears of the others, besides mayhaps Torma.

"My friend...Could you maybe quietly scry out the location of the traitor that left our midst? As much as he should be damned...We need every shred of help that can be gathered....and there is always hope."

"indeed...." he sighed. "Give me a moment." Fearghal disappeared for a moment into the sped up demiplane and back in less than a second. "I have seen where he is...."

Erhart nodded slightly and sighed. "Take me there..."

Fearghal nodded and with a word and a gesture sent Erhart on his way.

The air around Erhart warped and changed for a moment, all was swirling around like cosmic whirlpools before the reality before him stabilized a moment after. He muttered. He hated that. He had appeared right before Jax, his arms crossed.

"I suspect you know why I am here."

"Because you feel you can turn me back to the forces of light and the triad?"
*sigh*
"I might as well listen, everyone else has told me that a cleric without a god has no place and turned me away."

"No. If it were down to me...you would bear the deepest penalties for betraying the trust that was placed in you. Never the less, this city needs your help."

"Helm did not abandon you, it was You that abandoned your post in defending these people...you pledged, did you not?"

He looked uncomfortable, those who betrayed their charges were never top of Erhart's list to spend time with. It was against everything Torm stood for. Neither the less, he sighed and pressed on.

"The mages have come up with a way to shift the tower from westgate and therefore negate any casualties to this place...as they will follow the Mythallar. We need your help. Do you understand?"

"How can I help? My clerical powers have left with, as you say, the loyality I betrayed."

"Atonement." He said simply

Jax laughs.
"Ah yes, 'Atonement', that being the code word for, 'Get down on your knees and grovel'......................I suppose I could, if Helm will forgive me."

"Atonement being, making up for the problems caused...alot of people were injured or otherwise maimed...it might not have been your fault directly...but you still had a part in it. There is no suppose in this...Helm needs guardians...not reluctant warriors...You once believed in him...I find it difficult to believe that faith crumbled over a few mistakes"

"I've lived in Westgate for my entire life, helping out at the abby, it's easy to cope with the fact that your one of the agents of the divine when you use that power to help people. It's a bit more unsettling when you see the result of that power slicing peoples heads off to get at their necklaces."

"You have the chance to amend that. It is however your choice. I will not lie...there is a good chance that everyone outside the mages in this endeavour will perish...but it will be so in a just cause. Consider...for a moment if the Thayans got their hands on the Mythallar...what would happen to these people?"

"As I understand it....that would be....undesirable for anything in it's radius." He nodded "Very well though, Come with me....we must find a priest of Helm. Know you of any of your brethren in this city?"

"In Union? Not likely."

*sigh* "Knowing my luck..........or Karma, this is going to be the sort of quest you can only complete by dying. But yes, lets go."

++We go and find a temple somewhere in union++

Erhart follows him out, pointing out the Obvious "Which is why I'm coming with you."

When the ritual is complete Astinius portals the mageleings home, and gets to work Modifying Hellball to get rid of the backlash.

The spell itself is there, so the DC woujld probably be halved from 100 to 50.. seeing as I already have the incantation, and can pick out the holes that cause the feedback damage.

*rolles spellcraft: 11+42=53 succeeds*

((Torma claims the gold, in exchange for not taking any of the Magic Items. Just show her the money, thank you.))

Boooooooooooooring! Torma drawled, sighing theatrically before looking everyone over. You don't even smell of smoke...? What happened, didn't he use his breath? Another good look at everyone. You're not even touched? What happened? Was he already dead?
The idea that the Ancient Red might have been killed without harm to anyone never even crossed Torma's mind. It was an ANCIENT RED, for Bahamut's sake!

"I, er, kinda over did it. Blew the guys head clean off." Malkamar waved a single finger. "Really kind of depressing, I was going to make it a throne or couch or something. Let's get back to work, though."

"Him. Big letdown too. Guess I'll take the helm, because there's nothing else I can use out of that mess."
