Working on a new adventure.
What we learned:
-never split up (would've probably been fatal).
-plan ahead
-expect problems
Have 3 bags of holding now.
Marsa, Antaeus - need more magic items?
Total GP resources: 151,720 in coins and gems, not including magic items.
[historically: spent 100K? on permanent gate, 100K Antaeus 'pension fund', 40K on 2 limited wishes, + magic items]


Ideas: Central Casting roll
23:39, Today: Garek rolled 2 using 1d7.  central casting event (between adventures) - Gaynor.
Event 23:58, Today: Garek rolled 1,1 using d4,d10.  CC event.

11 Unable to earn a living at his chosen career, the character learns a new occupation to Rank 2 ability. Select occupation on Table 4 13: Occupations, but do not add in SolMod. [N]
00:01, Today: Garek rolled 10 using 1d10.  413A. -low tech occupations (TL 6 or less, i.e. Renaissance or lower).
00:04, Today: Garek rolled 11 using 1d20.  occupation roll. [Serf]

-counts as Agriculture proficiency. Can add (doesn't have NWPs) - convert over to NWP system.

16:45, Today: Garek rolled 97 using 1d100.  hat of disguise - rock of bral. - extreme no.
Read as: item probably banned/suspicious? [alien infiltrators]
16:55, Today: Garek rolled 56 using 1d100.  Tome of clear thought (48K).
-not available, highly in demand.
Would be better at L7 (2 attacks/rd)
16:57, Today: Garek rolled 35 using 1d100.  Manual puissant skill at arms ? no.
16:58, Today: Garek rolled 78 using 1d100.  Other Int-gaining items? No

In reply to Garek (msg # 1):

Time travel: 30/1 world (with all the dinosaurs) - could be revisited again.
Would let us use the duplication world event (now know is survivable) to duplicate treasure, again.

Checking if NPC party saved likely to be badly damaged in quest - say 40% (<50% since survival rate halves in a level advancement, per character - each 10% less than 40 is one character killed.
17:50, Today: Garek rolled 85 using 1d100.  Chance NPC party injured(40%) - extremely fine (profit)

-approx 3 months having passed. 1/30 time rate - 3 days (maybe 4).
Without doubling party member - open portal, store treasure. Antaeus memorizes location for teleport. After a week: need two separate portals to recover all cash (in bags of holding). Problem leaving unattended - could be interfered with (roll separately for each).

18:45, Today: Garek rolled 90 using 1d100.  # thousands of GP convertible to gems.
Converting all (90K)

Teleporting back to somewhere. 3P most useful. However, problem that at roughly -4 months back in time, can't determine exact timing.
Y/N question - "if we go to 3P now and begin the plan immediately, would the timing be correct for the world duplication?"

Ready to shift again:


*can duplicate individual PC treasure.


Resource recovery
-first trip - open portal, teleport with G1 or G2, they portal back out (3P)

-2nd trip: open gate from 3P, teleport, use Plane Shift to get back out.
Find meeting point [set fork in advance - the Rock generates problems with paradox; fork leading to a BSP world would require bizarre research]
Kelarn - as a demiplane needing gates to get to, would probably SELL tuning forks set to their dimension.

Variable - exact time multiplier.
Actually a 20:1 not 30:1 time multiplier.
So - 4 days = 80 days = 2 months, 20 days
5 days = 100 days = 3 months, 10 days
6 days = 120 days = 4 months
7 days = 140 days = 4 months, 20 days
8 days = 160 days = 5 months, 10 days


Actual time elapsed: 1 week in duplication dimension.
immediately getting limited wish /quest.
getting psion - using 3P. Gated back (= 1 week) +1 day.
3P/plane to recover Drax's remains.
1 week - Drax recovering.
To orc base. 2 days (Dream Travel) and back out.
1 week (babies) - then attack on spelljanner
up to a week of jump raids
4 weeks elven navy
space voyage ? - 10-100 days by Spelljammer if different sphere?
--too slow; retconning to a planar trip [1 week]
day on  gamma terra, week on T&T world


Total weeks: 11  +days: 4
= 81 days.

So: 4 days is almost (not quite) enough.
5 days = 100 days.
As 81 days...need to stay less than one additional day. Need to get timing exactly right.

Need longer? - less than a day (so no devolution check).
Don't know exact time multiplier. Each hour = 1 day of shift (but not sure of exact multiplier).
Can burn Y/N questions at 1/hour (less with binary chop).

Back to 3P (after burning lots of Y/N questions).
21:35, Today: Garek rolled 5 using 1d6.  3P encounter check.
81 days backward in time.
Neither character has any innate gating left. From here, can open gates to the doomed world to dump all the treasure for a week.

-could go to world with slowed time so can 'catch up' to present again ?
But, could also make use of the time.
-went to T&T world: this time putting party into BSP scenario ? unsure what would happen (Marcelanius may not be able to let PCs out - might have to wait for adventurer to go into that room). Other dungeons that are partly extra-dimensional?
-can visit Deathtrap Equalizer (a frog trip) as that's what happens in the case of Sewers of Oblivion; it has a prohibition on groups but can't really enforce that when come in via portal.
Add +1 free Yuurk for our troubles, and are in Khosht.
edit - can't get an Omniflex for Lynn as "MS" not a T&T attribute. - used 2 Y/N questions to work out DE OK as destination.

List of items for duplication

So, interesting that we are starting to get 'loops' - Y/N questions led to GW and gold, which let to more Y/N questions.
20 questions now - can target continents more accurately. Still want to avoid 3P for next few months - basically need a long-term project.
Lots of gold - no need for more for awhile.
Things we do want:
-stat gains
-magic items
-xp
-special abilities (e.g. inheritance abilities - anything gainable?)
-an option there would be 'half-breed'; in T&T, this would be a flat benefit [gain Stat multiplier] although in D&D likely to come with detailed pros/cons.
*polymorph self potion!!
-issue for Garek, Gaynor - might cause loss of mutations (Mutant Human racial ability) as a side-effect; though those might be regained with a Wish. Could afford to buy (50K) currently though would need a quest.
-could be a 'mutant animal' as those have mutations.

-SF world raid.
-Marsa - could become 'human' (or something that looks human?)- except causes relationship problems with Antaeus stuck as dwarf. Can't change race without losing multiclass.
polymorph probably can't change mental attributes or add supernatural powers.
-Drax could become a full elf (though kit has racial requirements, his multiclass combination still works).

-any way to become a 'specialist' (TARO) on attributes ?? +3d6 to a stat?
Something forcing rerolling of stats - so far, only a Reincarnate would work (couldn't do mastermind since IQ retained).

-'retractable wings' would be ideal.

List of items for duplication

Sent Antaeus with +2 battleaxe; improving to +3 (equivalent of +3 dice/+12 adds).
Note special rates don't apply (and won't ask, we're rich). Say equivalent of going from +2 to +3 in D&D or 10,000 GP, whichever is less. Subtracted 10K (seems about right - amt. varies between weapons in AD&D).

**Gambling in the arena of khazan. "We have these cool magic scimitars". Basically, can sponsor heroes to win - give them a scimitar, they enter the arena, bet 1000 GP on them at whatever the odds are. Can loan them 1000 GP to get them started.

Would this actively violate any laws?/likely to get anyone arrested
Is it likely to arouse attention of the Death Goddess? - think we just send 1-2 characters to do.
??Are we actually carrying the 12 magic scimitars - were these duplicated.
Currently no ! - were not in the bags of holding. May have like 1 of these. [excessive encumbrance]
left in the future unless we actually want to go get from our past selves.
some ethical quandaries.

-could actually get more magical scimitars, at the other Kelsan magic shop - fairly cheap?
[using luckstone] and while there.
-actually "Marton's Magical Trinkets" is in Alscen. [no starvation so same price should apply] 5*12hr =60 hrs travel time (zombie rowing at say 4 miles/hr) - 240 mi [60 PSPs base]

-could grab a peasant at random; can also use Gate to add +7 all stats (BSP).

Attempt #2
Waiting for PSPs to be fully recharged. Assuming pool beneficial - waiting to take full party through since can't get back out except with teleport, as yet, which could be improved if can find exactly how to get in/out of cavern.
So Antaeus, Garek and Harcourt return via DD.
-going back; exploring third tunnel (sword room).
Total YN used: [4/10]
Used Metarcade, failing CON roll. Also needs to make SPD roll in original rules.

Alternative plan - travel to world (specifically) which has a library giving a knowledge of the Deck. Unable to target any small moons - whole planet.
12:58, Today: Garek rolled 8 using 1d100.  Boccob's library - 20%.

At 840 ish miles out - planar travel (Gate) malfunctioning as equivalent to L9 spell ?
Actually conduits normally appear up to 6th ring, BUT wish doesn't work - so destination plane is probably random.

How many different characters can draw cards from one deck of many things?
   Up to four cards may be drawn from the deck; a party may divide these
draws among PCs in any way seen fit, except that card draws and results may
not be shared.  Any potential drawer must state how many cards he plans to
draw before the first card is drawn, and he must stick to the decision once
drawing begins (see the DMG, pages 142-143).

The Plan
13-card deck; using Hat of Difference (wildmage) to get 50% chance of correct draw.
Antaeus: Throne, Moon (+1 Con, additional level limits)
Harcourt: Star
4th draw - : aim for Moon; (probably would be going for one of prior options again).
Gaynor most likely to survive a Lesser Death ?

18:45, Today: Garek rolled 66,3,8 using d100,d100,d100.  event focus, action, subject.
'PC negative, neglect, enemies'
-the tome DEFINITELY indicates where a Deck might be found. It presents it as 'up for grabs'; actually, enemies are present (since the PCs have no existing enemies really).
-would note the decks originate in Concordant Opposition.
location - random plane being generated (Hornung's Random Dispatcher table)

2nd layer. Why there?

Thoth (Boccob) estate looks to be near rim - Plane Shift would be effective.

21:45, Today: Garek rolled 24 using 1d100.  13 card deck (75%).
Cards could be taken to Beastlands as a result of a card draw, except that the cards vanish when all used. 13-card deck (no Donjon or Talons) - could move with the Void card, or from Flames being drawn (outer planar enmity); or Throne (keep on outlands) then Death before could finish a 3rd or 4th draw. Or as a result of a wish (Moon).

Treatise - may have come from the beastlands, but more likely a copy of a prime material text.
-to be comprehensive, would be based on various case studies. One happens to mention someone who went to the beastlands, plus their deck [say Void]. Divination revealing plane of imprisonment (maybe Contact Other Plane, or wish from someone rolling Moon beforehand).
-vision of specific location seen (but enemy not listed!).

2nd layer - Brux.

22:07, Today: Garek rolled 5 using 1d8.  closest realm.
Reastweal, home of the Indian deity Puchan.
Legends and Lore - resembles aged itinerant with golden lance. God of travellers. NG, benevolent (it is an upper plane).
-imprisonment; can assume that the character captured was evil (NG).  Usually in conflict with Kali. Story of a brigand who stole a magical deck of cards from a traveller, but taking a card became a husk.

Within 100 miles of target visualized [10 at 60; 61-90 is up to 100 i.e. add 3 miles per % - 10+[14*3] = 52 miles off target.

22:34, Today: Garek rolled 90 using 1d100.  wilderness - forest.
will-o-wisp. Replacing with 91 (wolves); giant, double HD with -1 to AC.
Say # equal to party (7). Want to eat PCs (which is OK in their opinion).


22:38, Today: Garek rolled 71 using 1d100.  50% party size 25%, equal to party 21-75, 76+ double.
Treat 7 as a range of 5-10; say 10 wolves.

22:39, Today: Garek rolled 14 using 1d20.  d20 Charisma check (-6).
'half of us are made of metal, you really want to eat us?'
'unnatural things..do not belong here!'
[on the edge - reroll Charisma check - Intimidation fireball]

22:41, Today: Garek rolled 7 using 1d20.  Cha roll - assist (Harcourt).

*wolves vanish (probably could've taken. 1 charge used).
Beginning aerial recon to find the tower described in the book.

Assume it forms some sort of dungeon (though in the beastlands). Not in Punana's own palace.
Imagining a pit in which spirit of the brigand is treated like a petitioner - has been converted to form of great tiger (represents feeding on other men) down a pit. Provided enough sustenance to survive (magically). Jailors to keep him there - celestial creatures that live nearby? Likely several devas (note Indian name!). Not concerned with his stuff, just with preventing him from being released.

22:49, Today: Garek rolled 8 using 1d20.  Cha roll - negotiate with devas.
'sure you can have it'.
May have to fight giant tiger to get it.

22:53, Today: Garek rolled 88 using 1d100.  % spellcasting (10%).-no.
HD 10+10, AC 5, d4+1/d4+1/d10, rear claws 2d4/2d4 (if both forepaws hit)
22:58, Today: Garek rolled 66 using 10d8+10.  Hit Points.

Can argue that the Deck down there was stolen, in the first place.

Petitioners - should reform if killed, so that's OK
07:05, Today: Garek rolled 85 using 1d100.  multiple pits - 25% chance of hundreds.
[100-85=] 15 prisoners - the 'more enemies' they spoke of. The devas probably can't remember which pit is which.
Clairvoyance ?

07:19, Today: Garek rolled 66 using 1d100.  clairevoyance (incense) 66%. - vision of future.

right on edge - complication - also a double. Using the Mythic emulator for complication.
07:20, Today: Garek rolled 18,86,11 using d100,d100,d100.  event focus, action, subject.
NPC action, passion, emotions - see tiger doing something they didn't expect (emotional).

09:47, Today: Garek rolled 90 using 1d100.  bandit leader male (75%).
! Female, fits emotional action. Unusual mercy/act of love seen toward a (male) party member. Call her Vasri.

10:02, Today: Garek rolled 2 using 1d7.  interacting with - random character [Gaynor]
-usually getting all the loves...

Vision of Garek using telepathy - Doh! [tiger can probably also talk]
"You're up big guy. I saw you doing the scrunchy face thing you do when you're trying to use telepathy".
Of course that would find the right target/pit - meaning the event definitely, relates to finding them.
"Please help me! - sensing genuine contrition and that they're a woman.
Devas - would be upset if they take her.

Negotiating telepathically; whole party goes down on flying carpet.
Grab & run - through portal - grabbing Deck (probably only physical possession here).
Vasri - not actually a petitioner (brought here by Void card) - so can leave the plane.
Assume deck is there - if any YN questions left would've confirmed - and/or relatively recent.

EDIT LATER:
Say 1 week in Library of Boccob [7 days] before plane shift.
Total elapsed, 65 days of 81. 16 days to go before travel backward.

Destination plane [a small world with D&D physical laws?] - back to Kelarn for another 2 weeks, 2 days.

Naked Doom

In kelarn - announce they are drawing 4 cards.
Using Hat of Difference (Marsa's) - drawer wears, set to wildmage (50% chance of correct card).

Tiger disapproves.

Physical threats -so unless character has to do, give to toughest character.
Picking 4 cards
Garek - picking first - Moon, to benefit Antaeus (owes him 2 wishes)
Antaeus - tries for Throne
Harcourt - tries for Star. Giving him the two +2 axes in case !
#4 - probably cycles back to 1,2 or 3.

wishes would be:
'that Antaeus would be fitter and healthier'
'that his psionic potential is raised above the dwarven norm (without his race being changed).
-and again if have a fourth wish
retain 1 for emergency.

Keep location - if gotten: ?

Existing places - of note:
Rock of Bral - possibly ineligible for keep
New asteroid in Spelljammer universe. Near the Rock gets too much traffic to e.g. store money there- and isn't that useful (except to teleporting members of the party).

-installing keep in the [second] attoplane - theoretically in the Mystaran multiverse.
This would make it a mini-demiplane. Enlarges; money that was floating loose instead moves to a treasury room.

Only access by planar travel - it does however make a much more convenient target for planar travel (compared to the Rock). Need to install a permanent Gate from there to the 3-P dimension [100K].


13:52, Today: Garek rolled 63 using 1d100.  Concordant Opp (10% full/10% half).
[e.g. damage minimization] - no. Normal D&D rules.

!
12:23, Today: Garek rolled 1 using 1d4.  # of wishes.

12:23, Today: Garek rolled 97 using 1d100.  Antaeus wearing hat - Throne.

12:25, Today: Garek drew the single card: AH using a deck of 54 cards.  Random card (13 card deck).
Ace of Hearts
12:27, Today: Garek drew the single card: 10S using a deck of 52 cards.  reroll - counting down.
12:27, Today: Garek rolled 9 using 1d13.  Random card - reroll counting down.
Death!
12:30, Today: Garek rolled 12 using 2d8.  damage.
Using Wish - wishing that the effect of that card would be undone.
[death vanishes]
[moonstone vanishes]

12:31, Today: Garek rolled 3 using 1d13.  Antaeus - going for Throne card.
Star - immediately gain 2 points on your major ability (Wis for psionicist)

Going for Throne again - 50%.
12:37, Today: Garek rolled 10 using 1d20.  Antaeus - card #4 - 50% chance of Throne.


Summary of Results:
Garek draws Moon - 1 wish
Antaeus draws Death - used wish to wish card didn't take effect.
Antaeus draws Star - gains +2 Wis (to 18)
Antaeus draws Throne - gain Cha 18 and a small keep (in expanded attoplane).
Deck vanishes.

Loose ends: turning tiger back to humanoid form.

Final note: Deck of Many Things actually only has a GP sale value of 10,000 GP in AD&D [!] rather than being a minor artifact.
14:54, Today: Garek rolled 58 using 1d100.  likelihood deck of many things for sale (15% total). - well that's good news.
Giving characters 2000 XP each for adventures (=arena and this)

16:03, Today: Garek rolled 2 using 1d4.  gate - attempting to reach her continent (1 in 4).
16:04, Today: Garek rolled 19 using 1d20.  Recognizing is foreign continent - Int check.
16:04, Today: Garek rolled 43 using 1d100.  degree uninhabitedness.
16:05, Today: Garek rolled 1 using 1d6.  terrain - forest, jungle, desert, scrub, plains, marsh.
[=forest]
16:07, Today: Garek rolled 3 using 1d6.  random encounters - flying carpet. - none
After awhile, approaching a village; evidently different culture to expected.
16:08, Today: Garek rolled 62 using 1d100.  degree of technology - 50% medieval. - slightly lower.

16:41, Today: Garek rolled 13 using 1d100.  Human dominated (homeland) - 50%.

16:53, Today: Garek rolled 100 using 1d100.  Human village - 90%.

high magic level (more likely due to Deck) - extreme yes. Unusually human-dominated, particularly given is high-magic.
17:53, Today: Garek rolled 30 using 1d100.  50% - ethnic cleansing of non-humans.
-nonhumans killed off awhile back, rather than just not having evolved.

100 (double)
17:55, Today: Garek rolled 96,57,41 using d100,d100,d100.  event focus, action, subject.
NPC positive,create, advice.
-village of non-humans. Antipathy to humans - sees party as non-human, want to help the party.
Race of village - mixed or single-race?

Note - homeland probably warm climate. Forest but likewise warm - basically Dark Continent (adjacent as '2' rather than '1' on continent check, similar latitude).

17:59, Today: Garek rolled 2 using 1d20.  monsters table CC - globs.
18:00, Today: Garek rolled 7 using 1d100.  75% - reroll 'glob' result.

-'creatures of great evil, such as demons or devils'
Tiefling village; reveres Juiblex.

See PCs as fellow monsters, mostly.

18:05, Today: Garek rolled 52 using 1d100.  can get map of continent (60%).
If PCs can stay here - can send Antaeus to retrieve body. Likely to see vile rituals with captured humans if they do [say 5% per day]. Can't take tiger in bag (too large).
language problems likely - needs Marsa or Garek; Marsa best choice as human.

18:21, Today: Garek rolled 18 using 1d100.  size of community - 10% city, 11-50 town, 51+ village. - quite large town, definitely has a temple to Juiblex.

18:24, Today: Garek rolled 15 using 1d20.  Teleport - Varsi home village.
18:24, Today: Garek rolled 20 using 1d20.  d20 - 2nd attempt teleport (visualisation fail).
18:27, Today: Garek rolled 7 using 1d20.  Teeleport #3 - after about hr recharging.
[70+35+35]

18:29, Today: Garek rolled 96 using 1d100.  near village (70%).
Site of Void card activation out in wilderness somewhere - described.

18:30, Today: Garek rolled 2 using 1d6.  random encounters.
-taking Garek since no humans here, just monsters.

18:31, Today: Garek rolled 39 using 1d100.  had a gang (70%).
18:32, Today: Garek rolled 10 using 1d100.  likelihood gang still there (25%).
Complicating factor - story here written in Deck of Many Things book.
How gotten that information?

Time - if happened long ago, rumours more likely to be redundant, so would be unlikely to have consisted of a 'lead'.

Possibly the book is a magical 'log book' of a single Deck of many things - magically updating where it is, but also listing past events. Copy would not have any magical powers/update further. Very weird item, likely to have moved from elsewhere on Concordant Opposition (a God of Fortune's library - basically an 'accounts' statement). Book itself being lost would explain why the Deck became lost, near the Outlands.

19:03, Today: Garek rolled 6 using 1d20.  Charisma check - seeing if took body to town to fix (-3). yes

19:04, Today: Garek rolled 7 using 1d20.  Cha roll - negotiate with bandits.
Using Garek's Cha (telepathy). Willing to help as knew Vasri ?
Also, he clearly looks pretty dangerous.
Bandits in general - restocked.


19:06, Today: Garek rolled 3 using 2d6.  distance to nearby town.
(used 2d6 not 1d6 since 'near village - no' earlier. Good roll but makes sense since bandits need people to prey on)

19:08, Today: Garek rolled 1 using 1d100.  likelihood they died in village (50%).
! Definitely didn't return with her body. REALLY don't like them there.
19:11, Today: Garek rolled 33 using 1d100.  25% chance - any idea what happened to party. - no.
19:09, Today: Garek rolled 62 using 1d100.  25% chance of problems while waiting for PSPs to recharge. [made by double - next check is free, though didn't need it]
19:10, Today: Garek rolled 3 using 1d20.  Power check - teleport to village.


19:13, Today: Garek rolled 14 using 1d100.  likelihood was killed (33%).
Yes - probably good news considering.
19:15, Today: Garek rolled 86 using 1d100.  given some sort of honourable burial - 20%.
19:17, Today: Garek rolled 46 using 1d100.  disposal in some sort of pit (50%).
19:18, Today: Garek rolled 81 using 1d100.  # of bodies in pit. [!]

19:19, Today: Garek rolled 16 using 1d20.  Charisma check with villagers (-5).
Actually fails due to being a monster even without question negs. "demon!"

Beats villager unconscious, grabs them and flies off, does a Probe.
19:21, Today: Garek rolled 10 using 1d20.  saving throw.

19:21, Today: Garek rolled 1 using 1d20.  Probe #2.

19:21, Today: Garek rolled 12 using 1d20.  Probe on villager.
learns about disposal pit for executed bandits

19:25, Today: Garek rolled 63 using 1d100.  Any distinguishing characteristics they know of on skeleton (10%).

19:25, Today: Garek rolled 62 using 1d100.  mindlink - Valri - asking about distinguishing characteristics. Nothing - is female.


19:27, Today: Garek rolled 9 using 1d100.  distinguishing features - Nasri - killed same time. Potentially a non-human (lower than 13% nonhuman percentage).
19:30, Today: Garek rolled 7 using 1d20.  Nonhuman type. [Central Casting #751 - Dwarf]

Now know are looking for a human female skeleton next to a dwarf skeleton, in the pit with 80 bodies.
19:32, Today: Garek rolled 76 using 1d100.  pit is more deep (lower 50%) or more wide (50%). - pretty wide/spread out
Likely to be at edge of town.
Sneaking back at nightfall. Possibility (encounter check) of undead monsters e.g. ghouls.
19:35, Today: Garek rolled 1 using 1d6.  encounter check.

Meanwhile..
19:36, Today: Garek rolled 80 using 1d100.  10% - evil rituals back in tiefling town.
Not for awhile.

So, ghouls.
19:37, Today: Garek rolled 3 using 1d4.  # ghouls.
[not 2d12 as that would probably destroy the town; also see later - not actually much to eat here]



Further note: roll of 01 for 'did they die' - irrecoverably dead.
Unlikely to have e.g. soul-eating execution weapon, but note that of common creatures green slime 'turns living flesh into green slime in 1-4 rounds...no resurrection possible'.
Assume the pit where the bodies are dumped is overrun with green slime - neither body is recoverable.
Would find after fighting ghouls...


22:33, Today: Garek rolled 7,7 using d10,d10.  PCs, ghouls initiative.
22:35, Today: Garek rolled 20,19 using 2d8+8,2d8+8.  damage to ghouls.

22:35, Today: Garek rolled 25,25 using d20+5,d20+5.  shortbow of speed attacks.
22:36, Today: Garek rolled 5,3 using d20,d20.  battleaxe.
[+11, AC 6 = 14 ascending]
22:38, Today: Garek rolled 37 using 2d8+24.  damage 2 axes.
Killed all three ghouls.

overall result of mission failure - bandit remains turned to slime, can't resurrect them. May be able to do something with tiger still.

22:43, Today: Garek rolled 1 using 1d6.  encounters while resting in forest nearby.
22:43, Today: Garek rolled 33 using 1d100.  angry villagers (50%).
22:44, Today: Garek rolled 8 using 1d10.  # in search party.

22:46, Today: Garek rolled 7 using 1d20.  Senses roll.
22:46, Today: Garek rolled 4 using 1d6.  hours into resting.
22:47, Today: Garek rolled 4 using 1d20.  dimension door.
22:47, Today: Garek rolled 3 using 1d6.  following 6 hours.

Avoided, rested more, attempting to beam.

22:49, Today: Garek rolled 5 using 1d20.  Teleport power check.
Teleport back to tiefling city - reporting total failure :(

Notes - consistent theme (Juiblex, green slime) - SLIME WORLD

Waiting out remaining week there before leaving.
[72 days of 81].

Finally - return to Khosht for a final week - impatient to get the exile over with...
Gate to Deathtrap Equalizer, Harcourt gets a Yuurk.
Week of high life, then return home to the Rock.

Note: 205,850 total GP value | 685,000 GP magical items in party treasure.
