Time Variance Authority Maintenance and Surveillance of the Multiverse.

Always they allow time to flow naturally and to never take part in any events.  They also must expunge any who do threaten the timeline and thus the entire space time continuum.

This shadowy organization does not exist on any material plane.  It exists in an area of the Astral Sea outside of time and disconnected from normal reality.  From there they monitor threats and and teleport to any time or place.

As you feel the now familiar feeling of the time stream pulling you back to your home timeline you close your eyes and focus on the shifting feeling in you gut. As you open your eyes, expecting to see the cozy lights of Winter's Faire in old Tellenor, a strange scene fills your vision instead. A short squat man in grey and green finery sits at a desk in front of you in a warm cozy room. The room has walls lined with dark polished wood which has ornate edging and fillagree, several frames on the wall show shifting scenes of unfamiliar landscapes and scenes. The scenes shift and flicker to different places every few seconds. Dozens of clocks line the walls each displaying different read outs. [ DM Note: Perception check 16 to see sigils on the clocks / Religion check 16 to notice the sigils are of different gods in the pantheon.] The short man stares at hundreds of reams of paper on his desk as well as scrolls and small square stones stacked to the sides. He has on three different pairs of glasses with two perched on his nose and the third up on his scalp. He notices your arrival and in a dull monotone says "Welcome back TU 707 drop off your equipment and file your report over there." [DM Note: the man looks like Patton Oswalt, a human man in his 50's with salt and pepper short cropped hair. The TU refers to Tactical Unit 707 of the Time Authority Maintenance and Surveillance of the Multiverse. ] Looking up slowly you see the shock on his face as he sees the five of you "By the two faces of Vellenox who in blazes are you?!" As the team figures out what to do they will probably ask where they are and who he is. His name is Oswald Pallotox and he immediately starts to answer "Why the Time authority maint- oh I can't just tell you things like that. You are clearly Variants artefacting through the time stream I'm going to have to keep you here for questioning." [DM Note: Roll perception DC 18 to notice him slowly reaching a finger underneath the desk to push a button. The players may make a move to stop him if they perceive it. On a fail a few seconds later a large metal golem turns from another room and begins to approach.] The back of the room has several round pads built into the wooden floor, the look to be a greenish blue glass and have a brass ring around them. They are each about 3' in diameter there are seven in total. [DM Note: Last checks, Karnak do a perception check DC 18, One of the pictures now displays a Gnome woman and stats underneath which are too small to read] As the golem approaches the tug in your stomach pulls again and you fade from the room, the next sight you see is the Winter's Faire lights bobbing slowly amidst snowflakes. The smell of pastries and fried meat surrounds you and hundreds of street revelers whirl around you. [DM Note: Ryan's sister the Gnome Bard is a Time Authority agent immediately sent to spy on them. She claims to be from the Fletching in the west but most of her answers are stumbling and never seem to match up just right. Interesting...]
