Tues Dec 7, 9AW

I awoke to the sounds and smell of coffee being brewed, I jumped in the shower and when I came out Genus was sitting in the living room. I could hear Felisce and Craxxx talking in the kitchen. Surprised I asked what they were doing here and got a vague answer about being summoned he quite inconveniently. I stopped asking questions, even though I am dying to know what's going on . I get the feeling everything will be all made clear soon. Red was not in her bed and Craxxx said she was sleeping in her bed, and attempt to pry more info from him was firmly denied. This lack of information is driving me crazy. Eventually we were summoned to to the penthouse suite where we had food and were finally informed about what was going on. We were introduced to the other team. The one who has been making use of all the information we have been gathering and cleaning house a bit. Apparently they took out Elliot Ingris using the information we recovered on him. Red showed up and knew the other team, she told me a confusing story so I looked through her memories and found the reason that she seemed to be acting strange was because she was actually somewhere else. Not sure exactly what Craxxx did but he was definitely involved. The reason we have all gathered here is to get our ship back. We formulate a plan, and Felisce,Dj Tech, Allen, Cypress, Craxxx and Smoake go out to scope out a place to make our battle grounds. While I requested a place to regenerate my magic, I was followed by Gebus and Red. 6 hours of what feels like much more rest later we meet back up with the crew and Eldor to go over the lay our of the building they chose and strategize. Plan in place, we headed out. The building they chose was a music conservatory that was once a temple to Vivoria. Even though she has been said to be a "forgotten" goddess apparently some people still worship her as this temple still has sanctity to it. Even though the building is no longer used as a place of worship as long as the deity remains the blessings built into the walls will still have an effect. Zyeriel Red and Dj Tech went and took care of the security guards, then Allen Cypress and Felisce went took our the power and communications while Smoake and I went down to the basement to take out any generator that the building might have. Once finished our tasks we all met up in the auditorium where we set up. DJ Tech and Allen Summoned the Daemons and then projected the counter caster at them to weaken them, while we were banishing them Eldor followed one back to its home plain to destroy it and retrieve our ship. The entire mission went very smoothly and was all done and over with in about half and hour, it was very draining on all of us. The building although quite beaten remained intact and we all headed back to the embassy. there we were congratulated by Dyscathi and de-briefed. Allen, Dj Tech and Zyeriel went to the Mechanicus temple, Red Craxxx, Gebus and I went to the suite that I was in before, to rest for the night. We have been given a couple of days off to rest here, and I am going to enjoy it as much as I can.

Mon Dec 6, 9AW

When we awoke, Eldor took us to his temple, the wall were covered with magical engravings. Hailey was there. From inside Eldor's temple Cypress opened a doorway into the dream-scape, and we all entered. Eldor was going to come along and help us get our ship back from the daemons who stole it from us. We travelled through dream-scape for what seemed like quite a while until we came upon a strange town filled with shape shifters. We found a place to get some food. I was unsure that it would actually nourish us but Eldor seemed to think it would. The food the food looked bland but it didn't taste that way. It actually tasted amazing. As soon as we stepped out of the Inn the town around us disapeared and we were suddenly standing in a jungle. We continued on our way but didn't seem to be making much headway so Eldor showed us how to construct some mounts. We Flew over a strange looking sea and entered into a completely mechanical island. While Allen went into a room and was communicating with the sentient island we were led to a resting area. The resting Area was a level of the Island with rooms and a garden that had a fountain in it. there were lots of bountiful plants growing everywhere. There was a strange jellyfish in a fountain who said that Destinos wanted us have some gifts that he was to give to us. A little suspicious I accepted the gift giving thanks for the Honour, and asked to take some of the soil that the plants were growing in as I wanted to research it i thought that it had something to do with why the plants were so healthy. A little while later we were led to a room with a giant stone circle standing in it. This was the gate room and apparently we were going to use this gate to get out of dream-scape and to our destination. Allen and Hailey joined us in this room and then input some co-ordinates and activated the gate. We walked through and on the other side we found ourselves in South America just outside of Peru. We then made our way to Peru. Once here Allen made his way to the Mechanicus temple and the rest of us went to the Embassy of the Order, where Eldor led us to a room for the night. The room is quite luxurious, we have eaten and are now drinking and relaxing for the night. Red has not joined in any of the festivities and went straight to her room. She had been acting strange and not saying much all day. Tomorrow I will find out what is wrong with her but for tonight Eldor has joined us in our revelry.

Sun Dec 5, 9AW

Once the forest returned to normal we immediately left the area to try to find somewhere to rest. After some travel off in the distance we spotted what appeared to be a city of some sort. Making that our destination we made our way there. We arrived to un-gated city part in ruin and part tended to. The remaining buildings all  seemed to be temples of some sort. We found our way to a temple of Bast, Red's deity, Inside this temple we found a secret stairwell to the underground. At the bottom of the stairs was a giant silver door with a mask on it. Eventually we managed to wake Cypress up and he identified it as the symbol of his Deity.  We managed to open the door inside the room was dark, un-naturally dark, like the dark was a fog that filled the room. The door closed behind us. We explored the room for a bit and when we were about to settle down for a rest I heard what was distinctly Hailey's engine idling somewhere from behind one of the walls. Further investigation revealed a door. We got it open and it lead to a dark hallway, also made of silver like the last room. We followed the sound of the bike to another door. I opened the door and got a bolt of something that shocked me as I did so. This room was filled with weapons all over the walls I strictly told everyone not to touch any of them or it would be bad, we continued on quickly. Eventually we ended up at a room that had mechanical plants growing all over it, the sound of Hailey's idling stopped and Craxxx excitedly started climbing all over the plants. I finally got enough information from him to learn that the plants were created by Rahk his "patron". Allen was of course very interested in the plants and wanted to study them so we decided to rest here. Still determined to find Hailey, I promised the rest I would be back and then continued to follow where the sound was coming from. I went down another corridor turned a corner and then in front of a silver door with the symbol of a burning crying eye that is the same as Hailey's headlight, was standing a tall 1/2 Elven man in dark green robes. I think I stood there dumbfounded for a few minutes, he was breathtaking. When I finally regained my composure, said hello and approached him, He responded with my name. This made me nervous, but his voice was soothing as he introduced himself as Eldor The Unkind. He told me that Hailey is safe, and that the door behind him leads to his temple, and that it wasn't time for me to enter there yet. He led me back to the others to rest for the night. Back with the others I started to roll a joint but Eldor handed me a bong full of elven pipe weed, so we smoked that instead, he also gifted me a bag of it. It was a little weird hanging out with someone who is considered a GOD, but I just didn't think about that and just remained respectful. He stayed and kept conversation going with me for quite a while, so I guess I was asking the right questions because I sure learned a lot. I learned a little bit about Hailey, she is one of his "daughters". He told me that this whole town is nothing but temples to every god worshipped. Including all the rooms that we went through to get here. The fallen or destroyed temples are buildings belonging to the gods that have been forgotten. Eventually he tells me to get some rest, that he will watch over us and tomorrow he will take us to his temple.

Gebus left early this morning, after cleaning up and packing I met up with the rest of the group and we took off. Travel was going well then about mid afternoon the ship was surrounded by some flying glowing orb like things, or what appeared as such. Eventually after communications with them, they ejected us from the ship and sent us tumbling to the ground. We exhausted ourselves trying to get the ship back, to no avail. We screamed our frustration and then travelled through the jungle till night fall. Finding ourself at a fairly large sacrificial altar right as night was falling was a very bad thing. All of a sudden the surrounding forest shifted and changed The air becoming more charged with magic we soon find ourselves surrounded by ravenous pixies and their mistress Dwixilette. We managed to barter for our lives with the food provisions and ale that we had with us. We survived till morning, and managed to gain some useful information.

Fri Dec 3, 9AW

I awoke all snuggled up comphy and warm. The pretty feyline making cute snore purr sounds beside me, instead of waking her I wrote a note thanking her for the  wonderfull evening and biding her farwell. I then quietly left and went back to the ship to gather the rest and prepare to head out. We promptly left, not too far into our travel we rendezvoused with Allen and Phobos. We shared tales of our adventure on the way back to Berlin. We decided to spend the night in Berlin to regain supplies and do a little relaxing. So we checked into a hotel and got cleaned up and then went out to do a little shopping. We dropped our supplies off at the ship and ran into Gebus. Together we all went out to the Grudgebear bar for some drinks and to get some ale to take with us. At the bar we ran into Felisce and Dj Tech she was preparing to play a show here tonight, kinda on tour. Its a good alibi for other operations. At the end of the night I ended up taking Gebus and a pretty girl from the bar back to my hotel room.

Thurs Dec 2, 9AW

Early this morning, unable to wake Cypress, Red Craxxx and I headed out to go up and into the mountain. Up from where we camped the ship, I had detected an entrance to a cave and that's where we were headed. Allen had determined that there was a nexus point here and there seemed to be something generating energy in the mountain. Inside the mountain we found hallways and a room with a heavily rune covered door. Unable to open it we went in search of some sort of key. We found a room with a big fireplace. After inspecting it Red lit the fireplace up and then we heard movement in the hallways. We hid and carefully followed the noise. Turned out to be some mummies in priestly robes. They were going to open the door. I watched but when I went insubstantial to follow them in they saw me.  I conversed with the mummy and he allowed me to follow in and watch the ceremony. The keystone was suspended above an alter like circle heavily rune covered and emanating magic. I asked many questions and I found out that the ceremony was so that the dead souls of an ancient lost society could find their way home. When the ceremony was over they made me leave the room with them but Red who had not been seen and sneaked in behind me stayed in. Once out I waited till the mummy's went back to their tombs and had intended to go steal the key from them when a massive explosion rocking the entire mountain, I ran to the chamber and found Red holding the stone running towards me. We left as fast as possible found Craxxx and headed back to the ship. we flew off but soon were chased by a large dragon. We hurried and made it back to the ship to find that it was surrounded by Wolf-Si. We were signalled by and important looking silver manned female so I landed near her. After cautiously talking to her we were invited to spend the night in her camp, this is a high honour so of course we accepted. But that we were to leave right away in the morning. Before joining the festivities I called Phobos and let him know that we were on our way back package in hand he said that he had found Allen and that they should be on their way to rendezvous with us soon if all goes well. I have been extended the offer to sleep in a comfy bed with a pretty feyline. I am taking her up on the offer, now that business is taken care of.

Wed Dec 1, 9AW

This morning when I awoke our camp was surrounded by figures hiding in the distance amongst the trees watching us. I assume that this is the Wolf-Si that were following us the night before. They made no attempt at contact so we left quickly. About mid morning crossing a big body of water.Craxxx submerged the ship and we got caught in a vicious whirl pool. Eventually I managed to take control of the ship and pull us out of the the whirl pool. I landed the ship on shore as soon as possible. We rested for a bit and then re-orientated ourselves. While stopped Red left the ship to go for a short walk and was chased back to the ship by unseen figures. Once again we left quickly. We had almost arrived at our destination by the late afternoon but we were stopped dead in the air by a magical force field, so we landed. Followed closely by Craxxx, I went and sat and made flowers grow around me and waited for someone to come and approach me. Eventually I was approached by a Wolf-Si and a Feyline. They demanded why we were in there lands and what we were going to take from here. I replied honestly and when I told them all I wanted was the keystone they laughed at me and told me I was chasing a myth and that I could go ahead and try to find it. A little insulted I thanked them anyway and we were off again. A The clues weren't really much help but through logic we deduced where to search. we travelled for a bit longer and then camped for the night on a marble mountain.
