"Thank you...and remember this one simple saying. There is always hope...especially when the situation seems devoid of it. "

He patted him on the shoulder once and turned to set the bag of holding down out the way for now and crouched to lift free the bags of gold to place on the ground for a moment, drawing around his own handy haversack to load the bags into carefully. This wealth needed redistributing among those worse off in the city and this was something Erhart could at least do without being overshadowed.

"Good thing we have portals to westgate and other cities"

"That will be most useful...especially for seeing this delivered into deserving hands"

"Most impressive."

"We aren't late, are we?"

"No, you would have just given the dragon more opportunities to successfully squash one of us, and then we would have had to lever its corpse off of yours."

*looks over Jax briefly, shrugs and addresses him*
"We could use your expertise, we have obtained a magical item that will only work effectively for an evil person. I was wondering if you could somehow shift its enchantment, or, failing that, if the nature of your blood could fool it?"

"It might be possible, if I might see it?"

"Erhart, in the bag I gave you, there was a small wand, shaped like a key, might I see it for a moment?"

Erhart frowned a minute and lifted out the key to hand over to him

"If that's what I think it is...try and work them better or we'll have Torma eat them all"

"Before you came to find me, I had plenty of time to think, and I realize what I did wrong. Please, give me a chance to use my creation for somthing good. Namely, defeateing the thayens."

"Just remember, making servitors too intelligent can do more harm than being constrained by their limitations."

"My first mistake."

"And ours was regarding them as toys."

"We've more problems than our past mistakes." Malkamar spoke softly. "We've all made them. Let's try and focus for a moment." The Netherese sat down, drumming his fingers together. "We're in about the best position we can expect, considering the circumstances. We'll need to enhance the tower against magical assault, but conventional armies can't hit us now. I think the forces of good will be pleased with this."

Edward paused. "This is why I plan to make a trip to Halruaa. They will be forced to oppose the Empire of Shade soon, and a working Weave Mythallar will provide them insight. I beleive a deal can be struck."

Erhart also lifted out the belt of gate, holding it tentativly in his hands

"This had better work"

lazerus · Post by **lazerus** » 2004-04-03 12:16am

"Relax, the belt has an enchantment that automaticly protects the wearer from any harmfulll effects on the other side. And you can use the miricle pendant to sheild me."

Erhart looked over and nodded slightly

"Perhaps...we could slow the armies that march upon the ground? Not all of them will know we are in the air yet"

"They will. The Zulkier would have felt the Mythallar move... Malkamar take this ring"

he gives Malkamar the Ring of Greater teleportation

"It will get you to Halruaa and back"

He looked irritated at the idea of bringing these creatures back again but nodded slightly, murmuring the command word lightly 'Take me to the Prime materiel'. In that moment, a gate way to the Elemental plane of fire opened. The heat emanating from the portal was obvious.

"Go!" He lifted the pendant and threw it to Jax, ducking in through the portal as he lifted up the shield resting against the wall. It was hot...but...it didn't seem to effect him.

Jax steeped through after, seeming uneffected by the heat.

He waved the wand, piles of rocks and lava took the form of 10 of the unruley queen replicators. Only instead of the normal dark-blue metal, they had a red sheen and seem to glow from heat. They quickly scurried off.

"Now to repead that with the Ice, Shadow, Positive, Earth, Water, and Air planes."

++a few minutes later++

A portal opened in the tower, and black tendrels of shadow started to flow out. Jax and Erhart lept through, and the portal closed.

"Phew, that was the last one."

"It better be. " He muttered, Looking a mix of cold, frozen and bruised from having to deal with the Earth elementals that showed up at their intrusion.

He looked over to the group and nodded slightly

"With your permission....I will take a detour to Cormyr and see about raising some resistance to fight off the armies with...The Purple Dragon Knights and the War Wizards will be most interested....or so I hope..."

Astinius opened a portal to the Royal palace in Cormyr

He nodded slightly

"Thank you my friend...If you can, try and maintain the portal...I have no way of returning."

He adjusted the suit of armour and sorted his cape. He was bruised but suitable looking enough. With a quiet discontent, he stepped through the swirling portal, willing himself to avoid looking at either side of him as the palace slowly materialized before him. He smiled briefly and looked around

"Home."

He waited for the guards to rush at him for the sudden intrusion."

++Conducted over IM, tycho told me to post this++

Tycho said that, through borrowing, some scrying equipment from the mages, I manage to determine that we have a little over 6 days before the thayens arrive.

That being said, we fastforeward 5 days, post what you do duing that time.

I spend my time going over how to defend the tower, and spend a litle time in my casting chamber buffing up with Wish
