Vauxhall Castle - The Inner Depths

Post by Sgt 86Delta »

Many of you know that the the levels above ground and even a few below ground all have elevator access. When the elevator you are descending on, abruptly stops and opens towards a blank earthen wall, you all seem a bit surprised. The solid stoneworks of the Castle are clearly gone and you appear to be buried in the earth, who knows how far below you really are, the cursed elevator cab car has no floor numbers, call buttons or any other mechanisms.

The deep rich brown soil seems to be held in place by nothing at all. The rich smell of loam fills the elevator cab and you look at each other trying to decide what the next step is. Knight Commander Buxley works his way from the back of the cab car to the front. He pushes those closest to the earthen wall back so the entire team is crowded in the back of the cab car.

"It is simple enough. Follow my lead."

Looking at the space in front, he steps towards the wall. From various vantage points the Travellers can see that there are recessed segments in the earthen wall at four distinct corners. Buxley steps forward, places his palms onto the earth, reaching as far to the corners as possible. His feet he stabs into the earthen wall with his legs spread as far apart as possible. As soon as he presses face into the erath, he is absorbed and disappears from sight.

The tightness of the confines don't seem to bother Madok, but the chill in the air does. He must have nicked a bottle from the bar because he's sipping out of it now. At Buxleys incredulous look the druid replies "What? It's medicinal, ta ward off chillblains an such."

The gravametric girth of the knight cosmic known as Kardis the resplended, the bold, and the brave could not possibly be contained in such a confined space save for some kind of magic unknown to him. Still though after Buxley’s come to the forge moment where he spread himself bare was there any choice for the Cosmo Knight but too follow? Neigh Keeper... We have come to far and have far too many questions. Let us be brave. The knight turns his helm looking deep into a dark corner seeing his friend and ally Keeper huddle in fear of the portal. Kardis simply reaches out a hand grasping in the dark. Brave Keeper, I will always protect you. As you said the call for heroes was trumpted. We cannot now resist such a herald.

Kardis’ words meant to give hope to his ally may yet give courage to any who hear it and comprehend, ” Before the forge was darkness. It now burns brighter than ever before.”

Portal - Vauxhall Depths.jpg
Buxley has somehow turned around and is facing towards the elevator wall. Turning around he is stunned.

The room is filled with the essence of spring. Flowers, grass, small shrubs, and even some trees. "Well. Well. Well."

The portal sits back against a wall nearly twenty feet from the "elevator exit". It is a ring of solid stone, unlike other rifts and ley line worm holes the Travelers have encountered, this one looks like it needs to be activated.

Buxley begins walking among the flowers and trees, as if he is searching for something.

@Kardis , @Seelia Nishnocket , @Madok the Restless

Player Instructions _
If you would like to assist Buxley in his search, Notice roll -2.

Feel free to also ask questions.

"Egad!" Seelia exclaimed, surprised. "What a sight! Such finery, yet stuck where the sun doesn't shine!"

She flew out ahead, flitting from shrub to shrub, looking for some sign of the magic that kept this place so pretty!

Buxley sees @Seelia Nishnocket looking.
Support Roll _
Seelia's Success and Raise adds +2 to Buxley's final search roll.
Thanks.
"Realizing that this is pretty and abnormal at the same time. We need to look for something that is even more out of place."

"If this was placed by another court or even another Lord or Lady. There would be some tell tale trace."

Buxley stops and literally smells the roses. "Three hundred years without Spring. One never knows how bad they missed it until you experience it again."

Buxley is working against a -8 for his search.
Seelia +2
Madok +2
With Seelia and Buxley on the left side of the Stone Portal, @Madok the Restless takes up the right side for searching. @Kardis magnamus persona lights the underground chamber. The search continues and the life in the chamber is real and intoxicating, missing only insects and birds and young animals.

Beneath the heavy set armored feet of the cosmo night sprout vines, saplings, and brush of all manner. Purple saplings with red fingered flowers. Brush that gives off a natural blue light. Kardis the eternal gardner has been revealed. His green thumb revealed and the natural wonders that sprout will for years give joy to those that pass by so they know here and there a Cosmo Knight stood.

With his sight ever enhanced he peers with wide eyes looking deep into the cracks and cravaces of the flowering place he now stands.

With the aid of the Travelers the search is on. The ground is scoured and every flower, leaf, and blade is carressed, moved aside, and returned to its position. A few times the noble knights of the courts scour back and forth. Nothing amiss in this garden grotto below ground.

Investigation _
+5 from Travelers Aid
+2 from Investigator
- 8 for foreign but familiar scene
[*] Investigation [dice:1wb9ly72]51732:0[/dice:1wb9ly72]
[*] Wild [dice:1wb9ly72]51732:1[/dice:1wb9ly72]
Buxley stops near the entrance to the grotto then heads up the ramp. Stopping he bends down to one side and notices that there is a recently made furrow most likely from the portal rising from the ground. And the furrow has filled back in as the stone portal had rssen from the ground. Sure enough the ramp to the Stone Portal was likewise covered with plants and fresh loam.

Standing up he steps back from the Stone Portal. Looking high atop the Stone Portal is a small patch of eath with grass and a few flowers.

Tapping @Kardis on the shoulder, "will you check up there, please."

"Maybe @Seelia Nishnocket can get up there, easier."

Even with his gravitational magnitude, @Kardis gently parts the grass and flowers that sit atop the Stone Portal. As flowers are moved aside, briefly a piece of stone falls into the loam atop the portal. Kardis picks up the piece and brings it back to Buxley.

Kardis returns to the group at the end of the ramp to the Stone Portal. Holding out the white marble piece, there is a a question from all present.

"It looks like a petal made of marble. Very similar to ..." Buxley trails off and reaches for his hip where the rose wand is.

Holding out the wand, Buxley fiddles with the wand a bit until his hand settles on the collar of the rose and it slides down revealing a number of slots below the rose bud. "This is suppossed to be a full bloomed flower. Wow she, my lady, put some thought into this."

Kardis takes the petal and places it against the base of the bud and a click of stone to stone.

"We should look at the portal."

Kardis draws his attention towards Buxley wondering what his musings where about. Keeper, what do you think of his Lady? A wife perhaps or someone who holds power over him. He strikes me as the unmarried kind of mortal. He spoke of courts earlier like they were some kind of governing body. Perhaps a lady of those courts placed this stone pedal... But for what reason!

Kardis remains impassive looking, waiting, and ever watching. Something was about to happen and he would not miss it.

Bxley pulls out a data pad. Thumbing through the various digital pages he stops at a section different from the rest.

The digital script is flowing, fluid, and almost flowery. It looks like someone's personal notes were added to a standard print copy booklet.

Vrothuss's Notes


"Found this discarded or maybe left in a marketplace after a slave rescue."

"The previous material is pretty standard ley line and rifts material. These personal notes are interesting, as this Vrothuss ... guy ... seems to think that rifts can be constructed by displaced items."

"Anyone have any experience with this phenom?"

"Like calls to like!" Seelia lectures importantly, hovering with her fists on her hips. She then wags a finger at everyone. "Everyone knows that!"

She buzzes down a little and makes grabby hands at the petal until Buxley lets her hold it.

"A piece of a thing is always part of that thing, even if it's separated! That connection has power...sometimes enough power to open a hole between worlds..."

Suddenly she held the petal out and shouted, "HEAR ME STONE FLOWER THING!! OPEN THE PATH TO FIND WHAT IS MISSING! SO SAYS SEELIA NISHNOCKET! HAH!"

She brandished it, slashing at the air as if it was a sword.

Seelia's admonishment jogs his memory a bit but really nothing more than what the fey knight already declared. He watches the stone ring with the rest of the knights awaiting any changes.

@Seelia Nishnocket is not able to get the petal separate from the stone rose after Buxley attaches it, although she does have a hold of the rose wand. Flying off with the wand, held by the recently attached petal.

Ascending the ramp up to the portal, she realizes that she is holding the entire flower wand and takes a new hold on it. Since Seelia is flying, we cannot say when she sets foot on the ramp, but the idea is there. A very thin blue line extends from the rose bud towards the center of the portal.

Having been disturbed but considered nothing more than a large stone, Madok finds an actual bust that had fallen from it's short column pedestal.

@Seelia Nishnocket is idealy flying at the center of the stone portal roughly some twenty feet away. The first five feet is just a pin point in the empty center of the portal. The next five feet is a circle of about a foot in diameter with the blue beam still focused in the center. The beam never fades or waivers in any way.

@Kardis & @Madok the Restless whatbare you doing?

Buxley is reading through the digital leaflet. "You know, if Ralph Hinkley had his instruction manual, the learning curve would not have been so harsh."

@Kardis's cosmic being fills the remaining space between the blue circle and the edges of the portal, but as he is behind @Seelia Nishnocket, Kardis can see nothing else that has changed.

At the mention of his Lady, Buxley puts the data pad away and approaches the fallen statuary. He clears off an area near the base of the ramp and sets to dragging the pedestal first to the ramp. He then begins muscling his way by unwrapping the vines and such from the bust.

Visibly sweating under the weight of the marble bust, @Kardis's comments stop Buxley in his laborious endeavors. Watching @Seelia Nishnocket with the rose wand, makes him conscious enough to check his person and realize that she has his wand. Looking at the seen unfolding at the moment, Buxley states, "If this Vrothuss individual is to be believed, there is a part to the rose wand that lays beyond the portal. The beam being as feint and thin as it is, must mean a great deal of distance or time, seperates the remaining pieces of the wand. This looks like a one way portal. At least at the moment it does."

"Anyone able to give me a hand lifting this bust of the Lady of Spring onto this pedestal, would be greatly appreciated."

Buxley thanks Kardis for the help. Lovely as she maybe, the shape of the bust is quite awkward but the two manage to place it on the pedestal at the edge of the ramp away from the portal, behind Seelia.

Buxley takes a breath and a moment to appreciate the beauty of the carved stone. "Who ever the sculptor was, he did a fine job."

The back of the head of the statue faces the portal and a solid cone of blue now radiates from the back of the Lady's head and fills the entire portal. Those who have seen Ley Lines would recognize the color of the portal, which is now a rift. What lays beyond is still unknown.

@Kardis leaves Buxley once the bust on the pedestal. Buxley is fiddling with the bust and actually turns it so the head is facing towards the portal. Anyone who is listening hears the sound of stone grating on stone as Buxley manuevers the head around and then there is a click and the sound of stone settling.

The bust apparently seats itself into the pedestal and now faces the stone portal.

Kardis and @Madok the Restless have both begun heading for the the now full blue portal. When Buxley seats the bust properly into the pedestal the portal changes from a solid blue to a dark, very dark ... room?

"Ah HA!" Seelia shouts triumphantly, convinced that her own perseverance was what clarified the portal, rather than all the noise the Big Ones were making behind her as she concentrated. "Finally the path clears! The way is open thanks to SEELIA NISHNOCKET! COME MY FRIENDS AND..."

She breaks off as Kardis and Madok jump in, totally stealing her thunder. Sputtering incoherently, she zips forward as well!
