Babajaga's Observations

Tonoto's Excursion into Alchemist's Folly 

Observations from Babajaga:

OOC: March 29, 2001

 Observations:
 There is an obelisk thing on a small island near the keep,
which seems to have some sort of energy field on top.
 
A tree surrounded by fences that gives the same pattern
as the sword when weilded by an exile.
 
Basement has a small room, where one beastie spawn.
WS, Tortured Soul, GW and Banshee has been seen there, one
at a time. (Banshee near midnight)
 
The basement also has a room with something that looks
like crystals, but has the same shape and form as the
obelisk outside. These are placed in a pattern. They also
hum.
 
When travelling the Zodiacs, you have to stay on the path.
If you slip out, you can still catch up, but you have
to go the path again. Taking shortcuts to the party
will not get you to the ethereal plane. All signs
have to be travelled through, in the order the crystal gives.
 
You have to start the travel at the first room down the
ladder from the keep. Going in a different room will
just give a slight flicker from the crystal.
 
The ethereal sword comes in a wooden box.
(Recent groups has noticed that if you open the box,
it may cause both the key and the crystal to vanish, before
it´s time. This is not yet fully confirmed)
 
The ethereal box lasts in this plane.
 
If the box is opened, the sword will last for one PT day.
 
Every shard has it´s own one day PT day lifespan,
according to when they were picked up.This also holds
true for the mist key. When the
crystal is assembled - the whole crystal has
one PT day lifespan as well. This at least, seems to be
the case.
 
Mervine´s Sword of souls has "screamed in fear over
the ethereal sword". Mervine uses his SoS frequently.
No other SoS has reacted this way.
 
The last 3 parties to Ethereal Plane has noticed
Enba the rat below the center orb.
 
Every sign in EP leads to Purgatory, so far.
 
From the first travel there, we know ethereal plane
at least has 2 snells. Octagonal in shape.
 
 
I know there are more, but this is what I remembered
right now. If you have any other tidbit, please share it-
however small and non-significant it may seem.
 
I am the keeper of an ethereal box. We have tried to get
to EP to see if another can exist at the same time, but have
not yet been able to check this.
 
*********
 
All of the above may or may not be related. At this point
anything or nothing can be important, as we do not know
where to go next. Your educated guesses is as good as
mine.
 
I have a few..
 
First one is, getting the sword is only the first step.
This being a sword, either many can be weilded at once or not -
suggests it´s meant for a specific beastie. A beastie that cannot
be killed by any other means. The box that can endure
being in this plane for so long, can mean that we need to carry
this box to a specific place - then use the sword, on this
specific beastie - or/either in this particular place. being an
ethereal sword it may last longer there..
 
Or the sword can be totally unrelated to whatever else the keep
hides and just be a powerful one PT day only weapon.
 
The small room in the basement is just plain odd.
You can only walk there one by one, in a line - and too many
inside it gets cramped. It just cries of "control room"
or "timelock" to me, either way I think it´s significant.
We have been there during a plain midnight, with pathfinders
but no mystics. A banshee spawned near midnight, that´s all.
Somehow I think I expect something to spawn there that is
more in line with "The keeper of the Key" or "The Sword
Guardian" or "The Captain of the Guard" than a normal beastie..
 
The crystal room, those that hums do look a lot like
the obelisk outside. Our guess right now is that it
represents a constellation. Maybe to point us to the
Zodiac room, maybe a specific constellation.
 
And then there is the ethereal plane. So far we have only
been to one snell, except the first time when we
entered outside the circle and went north. Since the
first snell has Enba the Rat, and we know it has at least two,
it might be that ethereal plane consists of 12 snells,
each representing their own constellation. And that we may be
able to get to these other snells by travelling through
the zodiac circle in another order.
 
Or, there may be only 2 snells there. And the Zodiac sign
Enba the Rat is significant in some other way.
 
The tree surrounded by fences that shows the symbol
the Ethereal sword gives when weilded by an exile, might
be a pointer to the Sword Quest itself. Following this,
the obelisk might be a pointer to the crystal room
in the basement. Meaning, there is something there...
 
I´ll post whenever I have more educated guesses or
various tidbits. Also, we have tried a lot of things.
I don´t remember them all now, but if you ask, I am sure
someone will remember what has been tried or not.

From Tonoto:
 

OOC: April 1, 2001

 
Strim Merl and Sun Dragons,
 
Yor gathered a group together (Sor and I represented the Sun Dragons, Yor
and Koj for the Dark Horse Clan, and Axell, Freyja, Gurgi, and Thuja) for
Alchemist's Folly yesterday. It's always amazing what you can do with
Axell, Gurgi and Thuja in tow. :-)
 
After we cleared the tunnel and the following sn'ell, we ran through the
maze (where btw I got some exploration experience) which opened at IC 11pm
and apparently closed at IC midnight. We arrived at the very end of the
maze at midnight.
 
With Robin G as the mystic and Axell as full PF all we saw was that the
stone rubble shifted slightly. Gurgi tried his shovel to no avail.
 
I am convinced that there is either:
 
1) another secret passage in the Maze or
2) the blockage caused by the stone rubble will shift to the side either at
another specific time or when an earthquake occurs (we felt no earthquakes
at this time).
 
We need to go back of course. I've started constructing an AF map so we can
hustle to the end of the maze as fast as possible.
 
Take care,
Ton
