Memory #21
May. 29th, 2014 08:00 pmMemory 21: On trial for breaking the universe
Form: Faberge egg (6/7)
The party (sans Belkar) is in a (very blue) jail. Roy is worried about some kind of trial. Haley manages to pick the lock. Right as the army is coming for them. They hide in the cells and pretend like they weren't trying to escape. They joke with another paladin (Hinjo!) and learn that Belkar escaped his cell and is taunting Miko with murder. MIko goes to catch him.
They meet Lord Shojo, a half-senile-seeming old man with a cat. He tells them they weakened the fabric of the universe and will be judged by a scary being from the Upper Planes. But Celia is their defense attorney! Hi Celia!
So, there's a lot of witness testimony. But Celia points out that all they proved was that the party blew up a dungeon (We did? Neat!). Lord Shojo was forced to reveal state secrets about the origin of the OotS universe... and about how that castle held one of five gates protecting the universe from a Snarl in the fabric of reality. Also, one of the other gates is in Azure City.
Celia argues that the destruction of the gate by Elan (Whoops!) was to keep Xykon from getting a hold of the Snarl's power. And the Being agrees! Yay!
Incidentally, this story notes that the Norse and Babylonian pantheons (and the Chinese zodiac as animal gods) exist in Elan's world, and the Greek pantheon existed at one point, but was eaten by the Snarl. This totally will not be awkward given Elan has two Greek demigods on his team.

What Pecan Learned
I worship an awesome god I made up! (You're welcome, Citrine.)
A tiny bit about how jobs work... in a world run by Dungeons and Dragons.

Memory #12: Escape from Azure City
Jan. 4th, 2014 04:38 pmForm: [Memories come in the form of tiny baggies of jungle slime. Eat the slime to get your memory! . . . it tastes like peanut butter even if it doesn't look to appetizing, and also goes well with bread. One use]
( If I let myself get hung up on only doing things that had any actual chance of success, I'd never do anything. )
What Pecan Learned
Wait, Roy's dead!? That's not okay at all! Except Durkon can fix it if he has the body, so that's better. Except Haley and Belkar go missing getting the body back, so that's terrible!
More thoughts about getting a lute, even if he's better off with a sword. (Elan has his Weapon Proficiencies in his pile of things to take, but not his Perform skill.) Lutes are awesome!
Something about the power of story. Become main characters to survive! Don't temp the narrative!
V knows stuff about magic! Like how to make really cool illusions.
Haley is missing. That's not good at all. Splitting up was a terrible idea.
(This may be Elan's first memory of Redcloak, come to think of it, but like heck he'd remember him.)

Memory #11: Whoops, we ran into a dragon.
Jan. 3rd, 2014 06:20 pmForm: Memories come in the form of a tiny apple pie. Eat it to receive the memory. Two uses, if you wish to share the pie with someone.
( Even I don't know how I do it! )
What Pecan Learned
String instruments and the perils of having friends turned into lizards. Also, Pecan will start singing to help people perform tasks. He hasn't gotten this power back yet (or any musical training whatsoever, besides hanging around other singers/musicians in Aather), but it will not stop him. (I am sorry, Citrine.)
Pecan has enough clues to put together when this happened, but chronology isn't exactly an interest of his.
Pecan still thinks Obsidian might be secretly evil, since he's also a black dragon.

Memory Form is a pair of handkerchiefs. Give one to someone and keep the other and you'll both receive the memory simultaneously (forced shareable). Your initials will appear on the handkerchiefs after.
( You know, the first two I probably should've seen coming. The leprechaun costume? Not so much. )
