Transfer to world with reverse time flow to enable time travel.
[can't risk changing the past and creating a paradox - know won't travel back if he stopped his brother, so can only visit GW because he didn't successfully get there last time]

Cause of time flow - manmade alteration very difficult so would be a 'natural' thing.
A huge multiverse would be probably ancient, so need a tiny universe.
Would it be possible to enter it, if he did? What happens as you try to move through the portal? Probably overthinking.

Want to go back 7 months [= say 30 weeks, 26 for half year +4]
So want about a 20:1 subjective multiplier.

Exact specifications - 'find a world where general conditions aren't immediately deadly and where time flows backward at around 20:1'

10:30, Today: Arek rolled 38 using 1d100.  Mythic question - can we see through portal.
10:31, Today: Arek rolled 79 using 1d100.  Reverse time due to apocalypse?
10:31, Today: Arek rolled 95 using 1d100.  Subjective age of world very old?
10:32, Today: Arek rolled 44 using 1d100.  Likelihood of it being mini-universe?

Very young universe, weirdly enough. Relatively small (but not an 'attoplane').
Plausibly, would be something like a dinosaur-era jungle universe, a world in a globular cluster born out of a collapsing black hole in what is (to us) the far future?

So:
10:34, Today: Arek rolled 82 using 1d100.  Residual SF ruins from black hole collapse. - no
10:36, Today: Arek rolled 3 using 1d6.  random encounters. - no

10:37, Today: Arek rolled 2 using 1d6.  Eagle/Arek recon random encounters.
10:38, Today: Arek rolled 32 using 1d100.  mountain nearby?
10:38, Today: Arek rolled 60 using 1d100.  cave in mountain?
10:38, Today: Arek rolled 9,9 using d20,d20.  SN check, eagle Wis check.

11:23, Today: Arek rolled 3 using 1d8.  cave size (M 1-2,L 3-5,H 6-7,G+ 8. =Large

Colour:
10:41, Today: Arek rolled 96 using 1d100.  chance volcanic?
10:41, Today: Arek rolled 6 using 1d8.  sun colour (ROYGBIV).


You lift up into the humid air, in the distance you can see flying things of great size but nothing nearby. A mountain rises to the north, which seems volcanic in origin but not obviously active currently. The sun in the sky is tiny and blue, yet it is hot.

10:44, Today: Arek rolled 3,2,4 using d6,d6,d6.  random encounters.

The trip to the mountain is uneventful. The party stays low to the ground so as not to invite winged predators, the mutant feeling around with telepathy to avoid potential carnosaurs (Feeling them nearby but not close at one point).





You climb up to the cave..at one point reaching a steep point where a couple of adventurers get up, and lower a rope to the others...In the cave you find..a plateosaurus...
apparently its friendly (2 to resist animal empathy)

[cave must be low down on mountain]
Plateosaurus:
Large, 8 HD, THAC0 12, Int 0. ...no attacks/damage ?, xp 375 + 10/hp.




11:25, Today: Arek rolled 70 using 1d100.  Dinosaur encounter table DMG, forest.
Plateosaurus..



11:27, Today: Arek rolled 13,12,7,6 using d20,d20,d20,d20.  Ant, Gay,Harct, Tor (nonflying Dex checks).

-fail antaeus, Harcourt OK, Torvil OK, fail Gannor,
not critically. Others could pull up with rope past particularly steep ledge.




11:48, Today: Arek rolled 89 using 1d100.  intelligent creatures on planet? - NO.
11:47, Today: Arek rolled 72 using 1d100.  find remains of intelligent creatures (25%)?

Justifying weird results: the young age of the universe (world) here, suggests that temporaral energy flow is very high at the beginning of a universe, and slows down later.
(its weird the universe isn't super old since it 'ages' so quickly).
Reminiscent of Transdimensional TMNT - characters may need to save against TE mutation...
as temporal energy is higher. May cause 'devolution' - loss of mutations. At worst could lead to being trapped here (loss of planar travel).

?? [Time/Space anchor might, just, prevent TE devolution as its messing with 'temporal' energy] - used 6 PSPs - may work, but maintain too expensive to keep up indefinitely...could research more specific power.

??Problem that without plane shift, absolutely have to wait a week here.
This message was last edited by the GM at 00:39, Tue 17 Oct 2017.

fails 6 devolution saves by end of the week.
So loses 6 random mutations unless we have a plan ?

10 mutations:
1 Dual Brain
 2[Periodic amnesia]
 3[Total Healing]
 4 Wings
 5 Carapace
 6 Duality
 7 PLANAR TRAVEL
8 Magnetic Control
9 Telepathy
10 Confusion

Gills- wouldn't count

Saves - 6,13,1,15,3,10,5
11:57, Today: Arek rolled 10,10,3,7,9,8 using d10,d10,d10,d10,d10,d10 ((10,10,3,7,9,8)).
11:58, Today: Arek rolled 4 using 1d10 ((4)).
Save - Random - Result
6 - 10 - Confusion
13 -10 -4 - Wings
1 - 3 -Total Healing
15 - Passed save
3 - Planar Travel
10 - Telepathy
5 - Magnetic Control


-would equal losing confusion, wings, total healing, planar travel, telepathy, magnetic control.

Antaeus - probably losing psi powers.
Treat as "Devolution" Gamma World power, but physical (death save negates).


probably stops when is a PSH.
Have a Plane Shift scroll...but no one can use. Dwarf rogue gets 'use scrolls' at level 10?


Attempting to use "Total Healing" - fail? (default is 'stopped while meditating' but is it 'in scope' ?
12:47, Today: Arek rolled 4 using 1d20.  Roll - total healing attack vs TE devolution.

Plan to slow down metabolism enormously - with system in stasis, negative time can't affect [assuming planar travel will still recharge, somehow]
Knocked out to prevent major devolution happening.
[this also assumes total healing can't fix/prevent devolution]
First try - would give a lethal poisoning, arrested with Total Healing.
Second try - correct dosage worked out.

13:15, Today: Arek rolled 6 using 1d20.  Con check - Arek.
13:15, Today: Arek rolled 10 using 1d20.  Wis check (Anteaus) - dosage.
13:14, Today: Arek rolled 16 using 1d20.  Total healing.
13:14, Today: Arek rolled 5 using 1d20.  Total healing.
13:14, Today: Arek rolled 7 using 1d20.  Total healing.
13:14, Today: Arek rolled 17 using 1d20.  Con check.
13:12, Today: Arek rolled 7 using 1d20.  Poison save.
13:11, Today: Arek rolled 8 using 1d20.  Foraging/Fungus identification - find deadly mushrooms.


13:37, Today: Arek rolled 2 using 1d6.  bonus random encounter check while foraging.

11:50, Today: Arek rolled 3,3,1,2,1,2,5 using d6,d6,d6,d6,d6,d6,d6.  random encounters (day).

Just have to fight 2 monsters [Day 3, Day 5] and we're good!
(After this we are not going anywhere without someone who can use the Plane Shift scroll. Or buy a clerical one.)

Idea - mutants could 'power research' mutations - though only if add-on to existing power as are innate? Similar to wild talents.

After a week - returning to Rhaelph as a relatively 'safe' planet. Probably ending up somewhere weird, and so probably not particularly somewhere where would cause problems.
Now about 20 weeks [4 months] earlier in time. (miscalculated...needed 30:1).

Abusing time travel: sent note to Drax telling him to not go to Hela's House of Dark Delights, and to copy that note and pass to Arek. Time 'resets' with note now existing in loop (avoiding paradox despite no 'cause' existing; original was in parallel, deleted timeline).
Devolution: takes 2-3 weeks to recover (only 2 or at worst 3 mutations lost in the end, if rate slowed to 1/2 or 1/3 after first day).
This message was last edited by the GM at 11:48, Tue 17 Oct 2017.

2 weeks total (includes power research) on Rhaelph. Mostly in Khosht (Deathtrap Equalizer, went very badly).
? - considered - high-tech world where major war (invasion) has occurred - would let pick up weapons for Gamma World. [Would it be more dangerous than Gamma World - maybe ? - also more GM generation-intensive [Mythic].
Or, straight to Gamma World ?

(GM wise - is there a solo adventure / world that would work ? Even a game system ?

Rifts potentially - slightly earlier timeframe than GW.
Three Galaxies ?

REALLY want a Hat of Difference (cheap multiclassing)

Planar Travel to a world where magic item 'shops' exist -where can buy a Hat of Difference for the standard rate (8000 GP).
Should be able to convince party they really need a wizard - due to need for plane shift scroll use recently - as well as currently having the money.
Advanced City Pocket Dimensions - one or more of these should exist, and if so then magic item shops are likely. [Union, Kelarn Federation, Sigil, etc. - its a trope].
Would also have other ways to exit the dimension ? Wait a week ideal.

Roll random Central Casting event for random character, for time in pocket dimension/following dinosaurs adventure.
21:23, Today: Arek rolled 1 using 1d6.  arek,ant, torv, gay,har, rhi.

"Learn to use a weapon unusual for the characters' culture at Rank 3 skill"


Random-roll adventure starting from pocket dimension? [d100 3E DMG table]
21:45, Today: Arek rolled 4 using 1d100.  Random adventure seed -
"Wealthy merchants are being killed in their homes".
21:52, Today: Arek rolled 1 using 1d3.  from govt, merchant's guild, families of merchants.
21:48, Today: Arek rolled 15 using 1d100.  Mythic - is there a reward. [Extreme yes]
21:52, Today: Arek rolled 1 using 1d3.  from govt, merchant's guild, families of merchants.
GP Reward: went with as assassination (L5*L5), x2 for extreme = 1400 GP.

22:52, Today: Arek rolled 14 using 1d100.  PCs under suspicion of doing it?
22:52, Today: Arek rolled 19 using 1d20.  Charisma check...roll of lowest 10%. Maps on 2d10 to
about 17 (1-2-3-4) = 'threatening'.
22:54, Today: Arek rolled 67 using 1d100.  was magic-user traded with murdered (25%).
If PCs under suspicion - is that wizard under suspicion as involved?
22:59, Today: Arek rolled 48 using 1d100.  wizard they traded with under suspicion? (35%) - no
Sighting of assassin - matches PCs in some way (75%)
23:01, Today: Arek rolled 37 using 1d100.  Sighting resembles PCs in some way?

23:02, Today: Arek rolled 4 using 1d6.  arek,ant, torv, gay,har, rhi.
-i.e. sighting of large (human?) - 2 weapons?

Say: half-orc fighter/1E assassin, 19 Strength, psi powers (may help vs. magical defenses).
Level- ?. Magic items - ?. Likely lots of GPs (which here could mean magical items)
Party - could trace through magic item purchases. [Gather Info - who's spending big?]
12:39, Today: Arek rolled 10 using 1d100.  NPC associated with assassin's guild (50%)? - extreme yes. Probably 'working for' i.e. hired deliberately, money stolen as cover.

Half-orc assassin level 5/ fighter level 5
Str 19, Con 16
HP (average) 40
Weapon specialization -
TWF
Ambidexterity
Remaining fighter CPs - psionic talent

Standard half-orc & 1E assassin packages.
Random treasure as 1E DMG - potions of human control, levitation.
Ring of Mammal Control

12:44, Today: Arek rolled 16 using 1d100.  Sciences roll.
12:44, Today: Arek rolled 95 using 1d100.  BBEG psionics roll - chose CLAIREVOYANCE
12:39, Today: Arek rolled 10 using 1d100.  NPC associated with assassin's guild (50%)?

12:47, Today: Arek rolled 4 using 1d3+2.  number of murders.
12:46, Today: Arek rolled 31 using 1d100.  Did attacks start before PCs arrived (50%).

Random magic items:
4 jobs x standard assassin rate (average 3rd level, 450) = 1800 GP
Loot- 1250 GP, 750 EP
12:52, Today: Arek rolled 5,1 using d5,d5.  merchant levels.
12:51, Today: Arek rolled 34,10,70,54 using d100,d100,d100,d100.  random treasure (Dungeon tables).

Update:
Total Treasure - swapped Ring, 625 GP, 750 EP for Cloak of Elvenkind (use of EP suspicious - stoled by elf merchant for specific dimensional trade). Remaining 2375 GP.- spent to buy Battleaxe +1 (worth 2500; rolled % of axe specialization at 33% as mistaken for Gaynor, may have been spotted with 2 axes).(mistaken identity not issue as murders started earlier - and people suspect assassin's guild).
This message was last edited by the GM at 02:49, Wed 25 Oct 2017.

NPC - assassins likely to 'go to ground' when finished a job - not if several jobs in succession. Pocket plane [Call it Kelarn] has to have its own dimensional travel, or there is no 'outside'.
4 murders = specific purpose required? [could be determined e.g. with Int or Wis check). Say 5 murders expected total? - business competition being reduced.
Other adventurers in city too smart to go in on this, as is expected to be 'assassin's guild' business, though naturally they deny all knowledge.
Perpetrator spotted at one murder - a big guy, race not definite.

13:07, Today: Arek rolled 3 using 1d100.  likelihood to buy magic item (75%).
13:08, Today: Arek rolled 34 using 1d100.  buying cloak of elvenkind reasonable (50%)?
-6000 GP (exchanged Ring of Mammal Control, +1000 GPs; some in stolen form?)
-assume has bought +1 axe as well, 'extreme yes' on item buying - holding off until now so can use extra cash for better deal, or something).

-PCs - go asking if a 'big guy' was seen buying a magical item .
13:11, Today: Arek rolled 9 using 1d20.  Charisma check - get info from merchants.
Assume 'Yes' - if only because merchant is a friend of theirs and/or what if they're next anyway?
13:15, Today: Arek rolled 18 using 1d20.  Int check Antaeus - assassin's guild ?
(PCs haven't worked out, NPCs don't want to mention them - need better result on Cha roll)

Motivation [GM i.e. my invention]: 1 'real' target, 4 decoys (including a friend of the 'client') to obscure why particular target taken out. Telepathic scan would show that client paid a huge sum (5 assassinations + a garnish) to take out decoys, enough that the assassins send someone competent but who they could then say had gone 'rogue'. Lower-level as higher level = less deniability.
*would only be hunted by assassins' guild if expose their involvement.

*can use Telepathy and Y/N questions to find target

13:45, Today: Arek rolled 96 using 1d100.  Assassins some other motive for accepting job (33%)? - EXTREME NO. So, assassin's guild literally having serious 'money troubles'.

11:49, Today: Arek rolled 19 using 1d100.  hiding in assassin's guild HQ (20%).
--PCs - use telepathy to track? [or Y/N questions] - or wait for attack?

14:26, Today: Arek rolled 6 using 1d20.  Mental attack - telepathy probe for info.
14:31, Today: Arek rolled 6 using 3d6.  Innkeeper Wis score.
[6 hits due to +4 MHAC for Telepathy 19, & Wis penalty]

14:33, Today: Arek rolled 76 using 1d100.  Target likely to tell assassin's guild PCs are searching? [wants to be uninvolved  also innkeeper/pimp hasn't told PCs anything]
-would know he works for assassin's guild; hasn't been seen where he usually is.
Y/N question - 'is he staying at the assassin's guild?' -Y.
Y/N question - 'has he finished doing murders yet?' -N
Don't know target, but, can wait roughly near exit to assassins' HQ - within 140m [400ft] can read talks [scan whole city, but can't read well enough to see 'who's who', probably].
14:44, Today: Arek rolled 81 using 1d100.  Dive nearby roll [75%] - say there IS a dive, but going there DOES attract attention. [Encounter]
14:46, Today: Arek rolled 5 using 1d20.  Cha roll - explain presence here (Rhi).
[using the 'us halflings are just natural thieves' to pretend not to be a paladin]

! Needs a successful scan roll to determine when he leaves/that its him.
Probable back exits ? - say mind reading found 'main' exit.
Probably inn or something innocuous [a dive] nearby. Could also perch on roof closer.
[bad idea]. Leave dwarf down back alley where might also spot assassin leaving - needs MS roll if Telepathy fails.

Guild likely to be attacked by city guard. PCs definitely blamed BUT, on the plus side they will largely actually be rooted out of the city.

Adventure seed - 81 - 'an innocent man, about to be hanged, pleads for someone to help him.'

Reward - probably no.
Accused of: Animal-related crimes - 17, 3 - Livestock rustling.
20:15, Today: Arek rolled 3 using 1d4.  Animal-related crimes subtable.
20:15, Today: Arek rolled 17 using 1d20.  Random crime (central casting).
Committed against...

20:20, Today: Arek rolled 4 using 1d20.  Committed against (table 750 others).
20:20, Today: Arek rolled 3 using 1d4.  magician subtable.

Livestock - belonging to a powerful priest. So, sacred in some way?
[Roll deity:20:25, Today: Arek rolled 23 using 1d20+4.  Random civilized deity.
20:25, Today: Arek rolled 9 using 1d4+6.  Culture level-civilized or civilized-decadent.
Have determined is civilized culture (not decadent, used d4+6 to not get barbarian etc).
23 - Night Goddess - foe of sun god, constantly battling for skies, patroness of those who 'use the night'.
As 'livestock' - say accused of stealing 'moon lotus' sacred to night goddess - legal deity from context. Flowers very expensive - used to do something dodgy?

Hears call for help - telepathy fails :(
Y/N question confirms is innocent.
Charisma roll - plead for stay of execution (paladin) - 16
Say succeeds by 1 - "you have one day".

Assume crime has occurred - man here implicated accidently or framed. Say 50% likely an accident (Mythic). In either case, need to find the perpetrator and stolen goods.
Roll of 51 - on borderline - not 'deliberate' but only barely. Say, instigators had a good idea he would be blamed, didn't care. So - who is the guy being imprisoned ? (roll on 'others' - may be connected to temple?)
750 - 15 'a criminal' - roll type 5 - 'an extortionist or blackmailer'.
So for 'innocent' - read as 'of this specific crime'.
As known criminal, more readily blamed for this crime.
In the past has extorted - 750 others again..? 13 - 'an invader', a foreign warrior.
Make him a merchant who normally profits (unscrupulously) off visitors to the city?
Man he cheated - probably at the hanging, and is all for it.

21:13, Today: Arek rolled 97 using 1d100.  Merchant caught with lotus (50%).
EXTREME NO - assume means, very sketchy evidence that he's responsible?
21:16, Today: Arek rolled 87 using 1d100.  Existing enemy of night goddess? - NO (almost extreme) - say friend of theirs ..?

21:18, Today: Arek rolled 1 using 1d100.  Known to be wanting 'moon lotus' (e.g. for magic salve)...DESPERATELY wants the stuff. [so what does it do?]

It would be useful to anyone who wants to make someone more evil, then :)   (Balance of night and day /metaphor for light/darkness)
"Twilight elixir".

Lines of enquiry:
-say found someone who knows he wants to 'poison' ruler with it - YES.
-how does he know what the lotus does?
-hence, who else would know it?

12:32, Today: Arek rolled 92 using 1d100.  Someone stealing on his behalf? - NO

12:33, Today: Arek rolled 36 using 1d100.  Existing stories of people 'made more evil' ? (60%). - so generally known.

Investment - an outlay may be lost, which prompted the theft. Stock of darkness potions somehow used up against regulations, requiring supplies to be stolen to replace - not just lillies but other stuff. PCs find the buyer looks 'nervous'.


13:02, Today: Arek rolled 82 using 1d100.  Darkness potions, etc. being used up to do other crimes? (50%).- No. Assume these have just been 'sold' when shouldn't have been. PCs don't know, but implies thief is a fence [may also be alchemsit].

81 - ' an innocent man, about to be hanged, pleads for someone to help him'.
While sorting out one crime, someone else also wants to be saved from being hanged.
'offending an influential person'. -say d10 years in imprisoned rather than hanged.
In this case - 'innocent' because crime is stupid.
In order to help; arbitrary crime, could ask if there is a service they could perform (for the lord in question) in order to free said miscreant (commute to exile?).
23:07, Today: Arek rolled 92 using 1d100.  random adventure seed - restitution quest.
Undead shadows vex a large library, especially a storeroom long left undisturbed".
23:09, Today: Arek rolled 69 using 1d100.  Library on this plane (33%).? - NO.
Recovering a specific book [70%] vs. destroying shadows ?
23:11, Today: Arek rolled 6 using 1d100.  Recovering a specific book? [70%].
Spellbook or magical tome ?
23:12, Today: Arek rolled 49 using 1d100.  Spellbook (50%) vs magical tome ? - Spellbook.
Quest - likely to be for wizard-owner of the plane (though that may not be person offended, may be going over their head).
12:35, Today: Arek rolled 10 using 1d100.  Plane of shadow (25%)? - ancient, abandoned wizard tower in the 'Shadowfell'. Known to be haunted by shadows.
13:55, Today: Arek rolled 3 using 1d100.  [ tower of ] wizard seeking to become a shade (60%).
[Dragon #126 - "ecology of the shade"]

Use Random Dungeon Generator if necessary but:
Tower structure rather than random cave system?
Most common monster - shadows

Darklands nearby - no. Shadow dragons - no. Good :)
08:53, Today: Arek rolled 75 using 1d100.  shadow dragons nearby (10%).
08:53, Today: Arek rolled 56 using 1d100.  darklands nearby? (25%).

21:04, Today: Arek rolled 82 using 1d100.  50% - fixed portal say d4 hours away.
Fail: so, say can open portal wherever (to outside the tower).

OK lets go.
Say, generate 10 rooms which are individual "floors". Top would be the library.
For monsters - shadows have # appearing of 2d10
Front door - check 'is there a trap' ? - 50%
21:06, Today: Arek rolled 12 using 1d100.  Is there a trap - front door of tower.
21:06, Today: Arek rolled 9 using 1d100.  find/remove traps (Antaeus).
21:06, Today: Arek rolled 79 using 1d100.  remove traps - Antaeus. -SUCCESS!!!!
Rolled type on appendix 'G' 1E DMG - 73 'passage blocked by sliding bars'. Reroll - same entry so will keep..doorway recessed, bars falling down after enter the room to prevent escape..
Can't open lock on door however. Getting in - noisy? Could Dimension Door + open easily from other side [unknown # shadows]

Random State (current) - South Carolina

21:06, Today: Arek rolled 5 using 1d6.  Random monsters.- NO.
May be in Dream Travel distance ?
[Google - distance West Virginia to North Carolina = 348 miles.]
1/25 miles = 14 PSPS x 5 travellers = 70

21:11, Today: Arek rolled 44 using 1d100.  Mythic - near inhabited territory (30%).

[at -4, success, cost 70/79 PSPs]

Back at home city; visits mother and older sister, tells her Loren is dead :(
Added 1000 xp (story) to Examiner class side - too 'personal' to be hat xp.
Other PCs wander town and check it out.
21:54, Today: Arek rolled 50 using 1d100.  Mother and sister willing to come with him to Kelarn? [50% - yes, just]
21:56, Today: Arek rolled 59 using 1d100.  father and brother willing to come to Kelarn? [60%].[added 10% due to others leaving]

14 - "Character joins the military" - assume when ruler knows he's returned, wants to mmet him and use his powers [planar travel... magic?!] to get wealth and/or military conquest.
[R] - 16, no new trait.

22:10, Today: Arek rolled 45 using 1d100.  Keeping mother hostage against cooperation (50%).

22:11, Today: Arek rolled 9 using 1d20.  Charisma check - get ruler to let him go.

Roll of 100 - assume enemies wouldn't at all cooperate (may kill Arek on sight). Human [+ robot] invaders, who want to cleanse mutants from the city. Knights of Genetic Purity on motor bikes, etc.
 Means defector elements would be PSHs, and Gaynor (only) under suspicion as only pure-human without a demon hand or dwarfness. Gaynor however does have a 'mental mutation' (psi powers) - telepath. Basically a 'ghost mutant'. [legendary/in awe of; Knights hate]
*Since we're stuck with it, party can do what they can for the city, as if doing Central Casting "imprisoned" - I mean, enlisted - events.
