Coming to America and being evil. A modern 3.5 game

[Ralasha]

Miradal looks at the captain. "Actually, he only ordered his fey to leave the house alone. I shall speak with the priesthoods of Tiamat and Ao in the morning, about his... treatment of the negotiation. I believe we should relocate for now, to a new location."

[Nick274]

Fine. Lead the way.

[Ralasha]

"Lead the way? Fine, I know where I'll be sleeping for tonight. They might grant you shelter." Miradal begins making her way to the temple of Ao.

[Eshkigal]

Arkadi peers out the doorway, as he went for some harpoons.
"Huh...Niuquo, Tardigarde, where do you think they're going?"

[Nick274]

As Aile walks of with Mira he says "What, they wont let soon to be family in?" He chukles "Just say Im your pet."

[Isenvrill]

Not sure. Perhaps to a dragon friend, or perhaps she goes temple hunting. Do you think we still might need to defend against the dragon?

[Ralasha]

"Do not worry overmuch. We will perform the ritual while at the temple. When we announce our intent, they will allow you in."
Miradal picks up her soon to be son, and takes to the air in search of some place where she might gain the location of a Temple of one of the Dragon-Gods (Ao, or Tiamat).

"Confounded dragon and I had just prepared your rooms." Jack ducks inside the mansion and taps his head with the wand again, he sinks down through the floor like it was water. After a few moments rusty old speakers emerge from the walls.The captain's voice comes out somewhat muffled and gravely "This is your captain speaking due to circumstances all residents must vacate the premises while we move stand assure that all indenities will remain protected with all forms of protection that each of you have asked me to prepare. Everyone is asked to remove anything extremely fragile,valuable or powerful from the premises in the next ten minutes. Stay close to the house and try to keep up with the home. That is all. The speakers sink back into the walls. Lines begin to form along the walls and floors, they take the shape of doors and trapdoors. Creatures of all shapes and sizes emerge from the doors from frog people to scorpion folk to mindflayers wrapped around books to what look like vampires wrapped in cloth with umbrellas. The fire place explodes out with fire elementals and all matters of demon and devil. Each and everyone of their doors have a whole worlds suited for them.

The captain slips out of the ground in the few bare spots and the group swarms him speaking in all types of talk. "Quickly pack up all your things I'll have to deal with them."

[Eshkigal]

Arkadi goes back in and grabs his books and halberd. Never know when they'll come in handy.

[Isenvrill]

Niuqu quickly fetches his belongings, then returns outside.

[Doomboy911]

Niquo inside your room you see something similar to your cave but it has been styled with rich purples, reds and golds. There is a small box with the words ""Straight out of China Niquo." Inside is a lovely red robe with a golden trim with holes made specifically for your wings.

Inside Arkadi's room is a family tree lining the walls with pictures of your family.

[Isenvrill]

After examining the robe, Niuqu returns it to the box, and taking it along with his other possessions, returns outside.

[Eshkigal]

Arkadi stops for a few seconds, before running around.
"Nyet...NYET! I have not the time to memorize it all before it must be evacuated!"
He begins grabbing pictures and shoving them in his backpack with the ones nearest the ends of each branch, trying to find the relative he was sent to seek. When the time's nearly up, he runs back outside, with nowhere near the number of pictures he sought to grab.

[Doomboy911]

Outside the menagerie of monsters of monsters are standing far from the mansion arguing amongst themselves. All of the sudden the pillars holding up the roof fall down to the lawn away from everything and everyone and the house slowly begins to rise as the ends of the pillars move closer to it helping to lift it up. It gets but a few inches off the ground before it comes tumbling down to the earth with a ground quaking slam. It attempts to rise again only to fail to even rise. The fence and lawn slither under the house, the lawn losing it's color and turning into an amorphous grey blob. For a third time the house tries to rise this time with some assistance, as soon as it manages a few feet off the ground the orcwort moves in to lend what little support it can.

The captain is standing by you all looking on nervously "I hate putting the old girl through this every year more and more magic has to be poured into it just to keep it from falling apart." The house begins to wobble as it rises. "Alright enough of this" he moves to a few large earth elementals "Boys help it out" and they head out to stabilize it. "Everyone we will be moving out of the park into a new location. If anyone has any suggestions that are not related to your own personal hunting patterns please voice them now"

[Eshkigal]

"Out of city, maybe? What are options, really?"

[Doomboy911]

"But I love this city, everything I need to get to is close enough to teleport to. Also it's the easiest place for someone like me to do business. Couldn't we just kill the dragon?"

[Eshkigal]

"Is big dragon, and unless you mean other groups, we're still generally inexperienced."

[Doomboy911]

The captain turns with a grin "Indeed you do need experience a chance to do battle with some terrible beasties. I know just the thing and well the place."

[Isenvrill]

Well then, are you going to take us there, or are we going to be standing here staring at your wobbly house for the remainder of the day?

[Doomboy911]

"Right than everyone please follow the home until it makes a complete stop I shall return shortly" The captain pulls out a small obelisk and points it at everyone than points it at the ground and presses it into the soil. Immediately you find yourselves in a dark room with the captain standing in the middle. "Welcome to my snapshots of the world." the walls light up with parts of the world along with different times. "In here you can take any spot I've been and just go to town on the things nearby without harming the now. So where do you want to go? To wars.." the walls fill with wars such as the civil, revolutionary and world war." Granted you'd be duking it out with humans and maybe some powerful creatures but nothing too dangerous. Or we could pull up some dungeons I've ventured to. Really any point in time that you want and I could whip it up."

[Ralasha]

Uhh, no? The halfling is with me.

[Doomboy911]

"Right war won't help you much you'll need investigative skills along with fighting powerful intelligent creatures. I remember the loveliest town that I passed through. You're all going to go in and kill the problem. I'll give you a tip don't trust anything. Now you won't be able to leave the town limits and if you die it may make your head explode." he sits down and begins to rub his temples "Now if I remember correctly it was a simple village nothing too fancy" as he thinks the surroundings change to what he has just said while he does he seeps out of the scenery until he is gone.

Both Niquo and Arkadi are on a snowy path and a bit away you can see the village he described. It is relatively low grade instead of your standard homes you have log cabins blanketed in snow. Akardi they look similar to what your people might have and due to the snow and Niquo find themselves up to their necks in snow.

(Ralasha and Nick274 you can be a part of this if you want for a chance to level up.)

[Ralasha]

Right, sure, I will, since it's either that or 'no advancement' nice railroading.

[Doomboy911]

Screw it than.


The captain appears in the small village "Gentleman I understand that you are in need of battle but simply pulling this illusion off is taxing on my mind and fighting this way won't really get you anywhere you might learn some things but your body won't be properly challenged. Now Miradal and Niquo are off to the holy district where there are battles and business galore for you to get into. She will be busy with her ritual. I'm going to bring you all there now and than I need to focus on getting the home to a safe location." he pulls out a golden whistle and tosses it to Niquo "Blow that when you want to come back home."


Still railroading but we can get some player goals accomplished.

[Ralasha]

Thank you! I've been trying to get this done for what seems like forever now!

[Doomboy911]

"My apologies my draconic lady I fail to spread my mind amongst many at some points." the captain says floating alongside you he claps his hands and you find yourself besides Niquo and arkadi in a lovely district. The streets are lined with all kinds of colors and temples with various statues dedicated to the temples gods. "Tiamat is all the way on that end of the district while Baphomet can be found all the way on the other side. Their was a massive dispute and a few lives were lost in a riot." he takes his hat off around the riot parts and you can see his hair is tied up in a silly little bun. "Any who there is lovely parade coming up where the various temples will try to convert more people of new york. I usually come here around this time because there are so many opportunities for sabotage and destruction and lying and trickery. Oh it's just too much alright you guys have fun Niquo, Arkadi the Kord temple is always having some contests of strength if you want to try and make a quick buck but stick to the darker sides and you'll find some nasty things to do. I need to go park the house somewhere nice and quiet."

"First, I am not a satan worshipper. I would sooner burn down a temple of baphomet than go near a place that glorifies the father of lies. If there is a temple of Bahamut however, kindly point me in its direction."

"Now then. Ao, Bahamut... or Tiamat. If anyone else suggest Baphomet I'll rip their heads from their shoulders, and defecate down their necks." She begins heading towards the temple of Tiamat. "I need to find a temple of Ao. God damnit, that stupid impatient son of a bitch just can't ask a question and wait for 3 seconds. Oh, no! He has to rush off, hurry, hurry, as though that attitude has ever gotten anywhere pleasant in the end."

[Doomboy911]

Bahamut my bad I always mix those two up and my buddy has been bothering me with archdevils for a campaign we're starting. Yeah just replace baphomet with bahamut.Once again sorry.

[Ralasha]

I mostly found it humorous, so I had my character rant.

[Doomboy911]

(I have to admit I was a little afraid you were mad at me cause Miradal is intimidating.) The captain pops back in his sleeves are rolled and you can see writing across them "I mean the temple of Bahamut is over there and Tiamat is on the opposite. Also I've been reminded by a variety sources that I shouldn't leave the moderately powerful people in a land they don't know. I apologize the house can find a safe spot for tonight I'm spending the night with you all guiding."
