Season 3: Session 12: The Clock Report

General Summary

Date: The Month of Intuition 18th, 997 AC (Sunday).   Kobble is seperated from the group and finds himself at the 6 lantern doorway with Jasper. After inquiring if Kobble has the clock, Jasper returns to his camp.   Kobble makes quick work to pass through the puzzles and return to the party.   The rest of the party continues to search the treasure room, as Willow Mist sits and mopes.   Grandad finds an indent in the wall the size of the jade bracelets. He lets Thia know this. Cecil tries to bribe Mart with the gold in the room, but he says it isn't enough to pay off his debt.   Kobble calls in a favor and all the gold/treasure in the room disappears as he bursts through the doors to rejoin the party.   Cecil casts Magic Circle around Grandad to cover the area with the indent. The party moves over there and Cecil puts his spare jade bracelet inside.   A section of the wall falls down to reveal a small passageway into a large cavern. A thick fog comes out. All but Thia (and an invisible Mimzy) are affected.   The fog conjures a person in your mind to disuade you from taking any items.   Sunny appears for Kobble, Lord Varion for Grandad, and Righteousness for Cecil. All fall under the spell and turn to walk away from the room. Kobble is able to break free (finding a Magma Mephit by his side) and assists Thia in awakening the others.   Looking through the pedestal room, the clock is easily found. Cecil takes the clock and sees that the hands are frozen a minute and a half away from midnight. He moves the second hand and it begins moving. He stops it just a few seconds away from midnight.   Mimzy takes a ruby dagger, Thia takes a silver ring, Kobble takes a large gold key and a white mask, Grandad takes a copper bell and a gold box with a spade on it, and Cecil takes a sphere.   On the way out, Thia takes a dazed Burr and leaves him in the snow room to stay frozen.   As the party leaves, they keep forgetting where Kobble is. They can't remember him when he wears the white mask.   Jasper tries to stop the party to get the clock, but Thia expertly lies and says that Mart has it. Jasper returns to their camp to wait.   Thia sends a message in a bottle to Ellisar to find where to meet. He says he'll be in the Kilstrom church.   Going back through the portal, Kobble goes on a journey to underwater, a library, a desert, the crypt, the desert again, and then to the void to speak shortly with a disgruntled Diligence.   Back at the Kilstrom Church, Willow Mist departs saying she wants nothing to do with the group and will go home to Cirx.   Cecil gives Grandad the clock to hold, after putting plant growth on it to keep the hands from moving.   Cecil goes into the church and finds Ellisar. They walk to a Kilstrom bank together to get the funds.   In the bank vault, Ellisar shows them the money and exchanges it for the clock.   Ellisar removes the plant growth and lets the clock strike midnight. A burst of light leaves the clock. Ellisar admits that something will happen in Little Town.   Kobble burns a few notes in front of the others, trying to get answers. And (rightfully) begins to freak out that they need to go.   The party returns to the portal and Kobble goes in first.   He returns to the void and convinces Diligence to let him speak with Erif.   Kobble tries to sway Erif, but war is good for business and Erif doens't particularly care if a country goes down in flames.   Kobble returns to the group and all return through the portal to Little Town.   Down the mountain path, they see the town square on fire.   TO BE CONTINUED...
