Silver Bluff- The Destroyed Library-now hidden tw workshop
The destroyed Library
The library was one of the few buildings dystroyed by the events of last night. It would seem some railgun fire, and two frag grenades ill thrown demolished it. Many of the towns folk are here going through the rubble trying to find books that are mostly in good standing order
-Notice check to find good condition books.
-Notice check at -2 to find a buried secret trap door and secret staircase leading to a hidden TW workshop.
-Fear check if you go down! [Not the heart attack kind but the nausea kind]
[Going down will move you to the Hidden Techno Wizard Workshop!]

Re: Silver Bluff- The Destroyed Library
Lucretia wasn't really much of a reader, but she liked books. Conceptually, at least.
Sir Cy had talked to her about some slaves in ancient times he had read about in some pre-Rifts book, and how education was denied to them. Of course, he was trying to get Lucretia to realize that her masters had done the same to her - or worse, really - conditioning her not to avoid learning, not to seek understanding or betterment. She had never really shaken that... but she does know that education is important, that knowledge should be protected, developed, and passed on.
Well, she was good with the protecting part. Developing and passing she would leave to others, it wasn't really her cup of tea - I mean, she liked teaching recruits to fight, but that's not really what Sir Cy was talking about. Still, she did what she could when she could, which is how a blind warrior woman found herself on her hands and knees sifting through piles of ash and debris searching for books.
She found a number of intact books, though she left it to others to determine whether they were still legible. She also found a trap door that apparently had been hidden below an area rug... which had mostly burned away. opening the door, she carefully made her way down the stairs...

Re: Silver Bluff- The Destroyed Lib
The trap door lets out a hiss, as its environmental seal is broken and the smell is revolting ( Hence the fear check). A small space and workshop lies below. The scene is a grizzled one, a body in the middle of decomposing is hunched over a desk with a silvered vibro dagger through its back pinning it in place. There is no blood at all dried or otherwise where you would assume a natural blood pool from such a wound, infact all the blood from the body looks to have been drained. An engineering design is beneath the head it is fairly easy to make it out, the top of the document has the words For the Betrayers written! It looks like this dwarvish shaped humanoid was working on a techno wizard conversion. A trunk with an arcane lock sits at one end of the room. The lock itself would take some kind of hexagonal shaped key. Empty bookshelves fill the rest. The room is cast in an erie red glow coming from a pendant suspended in mid air over the dead technowizard's head. The pendant looks to be made of gold and yet you could swear the gold chain is living. The links seem to be moving as if the pendant had some kind of bio component to it. It holds this swirling jewel made of what looks to be blood. It is also the source of the eerie red glow. As you are looking at the pendant cracks in the pendant's gold links start to appear. Scrawled underneath the dwarves right hand (probably with his nail during his last moments) are two words Bronze Key
Gm Clarification
-The decomposing body was the reason for the nasea based fear check
- Knowledge engineering: He was designing a TW water conversion for a NG-Ip7 Ion pulse rifle
- Locked with an arcane lock in the trunk is said weapon completely converted ( Basically the weapon has a water trapping applied to it that on a hit with a raise it slows the targeted as if the target was moving through difficult terrain on its next action), . -4 to lockpicking, it smells magical. Exalted Arcana will tell you it is protected by an exalted damage field with the sunlight trapping. It may or maynot destroy the weapon inside if it goes off if forced open. If forcing it open roll a d6 on a 6 the weapon survives intact.
-KN arcana -4: I'll shoot you a pm about the pendant.

Re: Silver Bluff- The Destroyed Library
The smell threatened to overwhelm Lucretia, and feeling the bile crawl up her throat she stepped back off the stairs and shut the trap door. Feeling a bit weak, she sits on the door to both let her stomach settle and prevent anyone else from going in. After a few calming deep breaths - ash-smelling air is much better than rotten-flesh-smelling air - she keys on her radio.
"Banethro and Libertas - I am in need of your expertise. Please join me at the library - or, uh, what remains of it. Top priority. It, uh, smells terrible - might want to bring a gas mask or something."

Re: Silver Bluff- The Destroyed Library-now hidden tw worksh
Libertas' voice comes back over the radio almost instantly; and really, he doesn't sound impatient, at all. Honest. "Of course, Sergeant. I'll bring some work masks from the garage."
True to his word, he arrives a bit later, carrying three masks and wearing a fourth. He descends through the trap door, curiosity growing. "Hey, sergeant, what's... Oh. Oh, my."
He moves to try to get the diagram from under the slumped body of the dwarf.

He immediately gravitates over to the work-table, scanning the blueprints to assess them.OOC Comments
"This... oh, this would be a magnificent weapon against the vampires, Sergeant. Uses an Ion Gun as the base, but it fires a focused spray of water, very intense. It would strip skin from an unprotected target, and knock them over--and a Vampire would have a very, very bad reaction to the spray."He moves to try to get the diagram from under the slumped body of the dwarf.

On Bane's way to the Library, he calls to Lucretia on the radio and asks "Hey, do you want me to also get Dr. Danlack as well?" If Lucretia says yes, he'll go find the good doctor first then lead him to the library, if he isn't already there, but if she says no to that, then Bane will go strait to the Library.
Upon arrival, he takes a face mask and puts it before taking a deep breath to prepare himself for the smell, then descends into the workshop.

Fear Check
Bane feels himself get lightheaded and nauseous for a moment before he is able to steady himself again. Then he sees why. Taking slow, shallow breaths, Bane looks around the room.Notice
Seeing as this is some sort of magical workshop, Bane casts Exalted Detect Arcana (-2 PPE).Spellcasting
While casting the spell, he breathes in too much of the rank air and coughs, interrupting his spell, so he casts it again. (-2 PPE)Spellcasting
Bane is able to successfully cast his spell this time and describes the scene to Libertas and Lucretia. After inspecting the room with his magical senses, Bane inspects the pendant more closely.Knowledge Arcana
Bane looks up at Lucretia and says "I am not sure what this is, do you mind if I took it to Dr. Danlack to consult on?"OOC Comments

She briefly dips her visor down to give him a visual reminder of her vision complications.
"Yeah, that could be useful, but it can wait a little while longer, I don't think it's going anywhere, pinned under a corpse like that. It seems like this town has had problems with vampires before, funny no one has mentioned it."
"I'm not so sure we should be touching the unknown blood-red glowing amulet floating over the bloodless corpse of a technowizard that was making an anti-vampire gun until we have some idea what it is... though i don't like the way the chain is moving. Or the way it's cracking. Anyone have a box we can put it in?"Bane wrote:Bane looks up at Lucretia and says "I am not sure what this is, do you mind if I took it to Dr. Danlack to consult on?"
Danlack... Danlack.... who was that again? Oh right, the COT magic expert.
"...I'll see if one of the locals can go get Doctor Danlack for us. We should have gotten their comms frequency earlier. Uh, maybe something about how this guy died can tell us something about the pendant? It seems kind of bloody and there's no blood in the body or bloodstain from him being stabbed... might be some kind of vampiric magic."
She steps out of the lab and approaches the nearest townsperson.

Re: Silver Bluff- The Destroyed Library-now hidden tw worksh
"I may not be able to tell you what it is, but my arcane sight is telling me that it currently has two spells active, a Disguise spell similar to the one I had used during the fight with Soledad, and Mind Walk, which allows the caster to walk through the mind and memories of a target. The pendant has the ability to store up to 50% more magical energy than I can when I am fully rested, and is restored in a manner similar to a living person. As far as the COT's comms frequency, that was something I had been meaning to talk to them about later today, see if they have radios strong enough to reach the Castle by itself, or if they have to relay the message through a radio outpost."

Re: Silver Bluff- The Destroyed Library-now hidden tw worksh
Dr Danlack comes by a bit before the morning is over. He frowns at the devistation brought to such a place of learning and knowledge. He reaches down brushing rubble off a book on dam building, "A fount of knowledge!". Trying to not get too carried away he goes over to the 13 members.
" Ahh a secret door, to a hidden room, interesting.". Unfortunately for the good doctor the gass masks found do not fit him so he feels the full brunt of the smell, and the sight of grizzled dwarve decomposing makes him wretch the contents of his breakfast immidiately.
"Oh my word, so disgusting!" Dr. Danlack is clearly shaken by this ordeal but through the help of the 13th he manages to gain enough strength to inspect the pendant.
He looks at it for a few moments, waving his hands in an intricate pattern.
"Ahh my Arcane sight is revealing much to me about this necklace, nay perhaps mark of the infernal is more apt." . The doctor's gaze goes blank as if he is not seeing what is there, but seeing what is in the realm of the supernatural.
In a monotone voice he says, "Duriel the demon lord of vengence will sit atop his throne, and at its base the soul demon sits known only as such from its demonic gold necklace marked with a blood red ruby." If it was a trance, the doctor quickly comes out of it and almost cradles the pendant.
Excitedly he says,"Come look at these viens running through the gold, they look as if alive. A clear sign of biowizardry. And the blood red ruby, more blood than ruby yes?" From what I recall a soul demon gained its ability to strip a soul from exisitance from this very pendant. Legends say in some extreme cases with the removal of the soul would come removal of the living memory. " Without touching the pendant he traces his finger just above some of the cracks.
" Its odd that their are these cracks forming. I would think a terrible item like this could exist indefinately for all of time."
The takes a step back shuddering slightly.

Libertas actually looks embarrassed about the 'vision' thing. "Oh, right, uh, sorry about that. Honestly, I wasn't sure how much you can see. Yeah, this thing is all about killing vampires, though. Wonder if he ever built one, or if this was going to be his prototype. I would like to get it once you've cleared the body."
As they wait for the others to arrive, he'll also poke around a bit, eyeing the safe, and looking to see if maybe there's a bronze key anywhere in the room--or, barring that, any potentially useful parts he could re-purpose on upgrading their own gear.
As Bane and the Doctor arrive, he listens to their respective takes on the blood-amulet. "So there's no blood because the stone 'ate' it, along with his soul, and that's also why there's no memory of him. If it cracks completely, would his soul be freed?"

In some ways it's more like touch than sight. Like feeling everything around you while wearing gloves. You can get shapes and contours, even some texture, but not really fine details.

Re: Silver Bluff- The Destroyed Library-now hidden tw worksh
Bane looks thoughtfully at the pendant for a few minutes before speaking again, saying "I almost thing that the pendant is suppressing people memory of the dwarf. Durbin was speaking last night of a magic user, but he couldn't recall many specifics, even though it seemed like he should since he helped found the town alongside Durbin. It seems like something that the pendant's Mind Walk spell could do, but if that is the case, then it would be logical that the pendant has been continuously since the dwarf 'left'. What worries me even more now is the other spell that is active, the Disguise spell. Is someone in town being disguised by the spell, if so then who and why? Either way it would seem to me that if the cracks spread any more, the pendant should in theory be broken and the spells would be dispelled, or we should be able to move outside of town and it's effects on the rest of the town should cease.

However, one thing that is interesting it is clear some people are oblivious ( mostly over 40, and have lived in the town for at least 20 years), while others are pointing at it wondering what is going on ( usually the younger crowd, and have not lived in town for more than 20 years). Age wise there are outliers, but the demarcation of how long folks have lived in town is firm.
The secret work shop is largly unchanged. While the smell is still potent and body grizzly as ever, having already encountered it before you know what to expect and so it is less shocking. One thing has dramatically changed though. The golden chain ,suspended mid air above the dead body, holding the blood filled pendant has several more cracks. In fact as Libertas enters, a small peice of the gold chain breaks off dropping onto the decomposing dwarven body hitting the ground sizzling and disapearing in a poof of smoke. It is clear something has negatively effected it.

Re: Silver Bluff- The Destroyed Library-now hidden tw worksh
Libertas thinks for just a moment. "Understood, Sergeant. Bane, go ahead and back up Lucretia. While this is weird and potentially chaotic, it sounds like she's more likely to need immediate assistance. One of you should keep your comm open so the rest of us can listen in, in case things go south."
And with that, he settles in to make copies of the blueprints; if it's possible to pick it up without actually disturbing the body, he'll do that, tucking it away for safe-keeping.

Re: Silver Bluff- The Destroyed Library-now hidden tw worksh
As you gather the blueprints beneath them you notice inlayed into the desk itself is an interesting landscape or world view made out of various precious metals. It looks alomst as if fragments of the word are swirling arround, with skyships flying inbetween them. It is highly detailed as if someone had spent years working with gold and platnium. Looking closely at it, it even seems as if these fragments of the world and skyships are moving!
GM clarification
-Basically the art peice depicts the sundered sky setting world view
- Repair to lift it out without damaging it.
- There is a minor enchantment on it making the world and skyships move slightly, almost as if an optical illusion
- To the right buyer it could be worth 20,000 credits, most folks would pay 5,000-10,000 creds for it.

Libertas draws a sharp breath inward.
Amazing work... the metalwork alone is... His hand reaches towards the radio, and then pauses... finger over the button, then stops again... then he lowers his hand, and pulls out his toolkit to get to work.

And, several minutes later, he extracts the inlay, rolling up the blueprint and heading back to the garage as quickly as he can, to wrap it in a tarp and put it in the small cargo space they built.Libertas Magicorum

Re: Silver Bluff- The Destroyed Library-now hidden tw worksh
While no one is in the TW library to see this. The floating pendant above Dwalin Lighthelm breaks into three peices, hitting the floor. The peices writhe and wriggle as dwalin's blood seeps out of them staining the floor. But their still is something sinister about these gold peices, they move arround the floor as if snakes seeking out prey. The redish glow eminating from thm ceases plunging the work shop into darkness.
Gm Clarification
The workshop is now considered with the trap door closed total darkness. -4 to notice the slithering peices of the biowizardry necklace.. If not noticed (need a 4 or better) the peices gain the drop.
The necklace peices will attempt to grapple the first person in with an arcane background. Opposed fighting.
These peices can be dystroyed by any means the players posses. It just takes one peice to be dystroyed for the rest to follow.

Re: Silver Bluff- The Destroyed Library-now hidden tw worksh
Libertas, having run past several others who looked as overcome as Bronze, pulls up short as he gets to the trap door and sees total darkness down below. Well, never had a chance to give Lucretia the Amulet of the Sun, yet, so... just in case the bloodstone a vampire inside it, or something.... He pulls out the gizmo he prepared earlier and activates it, draping it over his own neck.
And the remains of the 'cage' are now alive! Fortunately, he saw them coming, and makes to fend them off.
He manages to evade the nasty little things. Pulling his TK Pistol (perhaps a bit less than artfully), he lets loose a shot.
The bullet strikes one of the writhing little monstrosities, and they all go inert. He just stands there, staring for a moment at the remains, then gets on the radio. "So, how you folks all doing? The spell is definitely over here in the Library."

Hearing Jude's call, Libertas replies, "That's 'Goggles' to you, pal. You're out at the tower? Okay, I can come; seems like things have gone a bit screwy, so it'll be a bit before we can deal with the box, anyway."
Looking around one last time to see if there's any other emergencies likely to come up, he heads back to the streets, in order to link up with Jude.

Re: Silver Bluff- The Destroyed Library-now hidden tw worksh
Breathless after his run from the Lady, Libertas pulls out the key he got earlier from Jude and unlocks the chest. Pulling out the gun he finds inside, he grins. Sarge will be annoyed most likely, but at least..... The thought trails off as he sees the markings on the inside of the box--gibberish to most, but to a Techno-wizard, a clear indication... He pushes three times against the back and one once against the bottom and.... Click. Inside the newly revealed compartment is a full suit of field tech armor. Setting down the gun and flashlight, he does a quick change, then hauls ass back to the Lady. I wonder if this is going to make her madder....
