The blastdoors open up to a compact 5 person flight deck, 2 smaller circular divots on the floor and 1 larger  circular divot in the middle of the deck. There is a robed figure floating in the middle of the larger divot. These divots are the interaction sections for the TW Jump Device.
The guard that guided the crew to the bridge points to one of the smaller divots [Language unknown: "WI Pronceith, ecatheme u eve Wh Eiomni.

The Hour flies by as various TW / Mystical vessels line up to the main jump point. Layers of protections are unraveled and the massive destructive nature of the Galactic Ley Line Rift spirals wildly through dimensions. One by one vessels perform their jump and are flung towards their destination.
GM Note: If it wasn't for the station anyone attempting to use this location to teleport would be torn asunder by the manic dimensional energies.
GM Note: A 4D item is being use to keep the Rift Stable, it was only detectable when it is being used to contain the Rift for use.

The Magic of the Sensor / Navigator Caster Plate expands Roland's senses 100x and across dimensions he feels his familiar emotions and see through her eyes.

Rules of Faerun:

• No two gods in the same pantheon could have identical portfolios.
• When two gods clashed, one of three results occurred:
  
  1. One god faded from the Realms.
  2. Both gods merged.
  3. One (or both) god(s) altered their portfolio(s) sufficiently that both could remain in or join the Faerûnian pantheon.

Traveling to Faerun the group will be considered lesser deities (godlings) holding sway over the following domains, the party is immune to transformations and mind altering abilities of lessor 4D effects so the party will only be considered in contention with gods holding similar domains. Only traveling to Faerun and performing divination skills / powers will reveal more information.

The ship plops into reality high in orbit above Faerun. The ships sensors mark a location where Roland's feels that his Familiar is. On the view screen the marker hovers above a small coastal settlement that has a 10 ships on route to the settlement.
The crew member at the technological sensor station says out lout [Language unknown: "Sepl'mien Ectvenset Intativen n antelo lo lesnc artundfor'iveman ect nteun illessvor."]

The Mage frowns [Language unknown: "Se oulfi iv ateun ilunmiro ... lo ta set ndpo fomiss e ica na his and staurelesreares ckss fiallo.

The Settlement has around 1000 people at it, most of the settlement is temporary tent camps surrounding a hand full of permanent wooden buildings.

To the group:

"Given the urgency, I believe the Mage's offer of teleportation would be fastest. But if something did go wrong, having a shuttle would be helpful. I will ready myself for whichever the group decides. However, we should be sensitive to disturbing the locals."

Ja-hon will be prepared to utilize the Phase Power: Fast Draw (OOC: see google Doc for attunement list) upon landing, but will go in robes so as not to scare any locals. Ja-Hon will have the Psionic Powers: Sense Magic, Sixth Sense, and Enhanced Reflexes active for when the put boots on the ground.

The team gathers together for the long distant teleport, the Ships Mage warns everyone that the teleport is coming, then the energies wash over the team placing them gently in the middle of the village near the largest building. People look briefly at the team arriving then go back to their regular duties - the day to day life of those that are substance living.

---

Shelly is to the North and is neutral tired.

An older Gentleman walks out of the large building and prostrates himself in front of Roland [Language unknown:  "Stihouthu In, trahasiou ek lat arearders nt ardwheate."]

Sarge casts Tongues on his 4 pack  when they hit the ground..

To his crew Sarge writes  a note.. before he casts Tongues.. the note says

Since Roland looks the most normal he lets him take the lead, hoping he remembers they are on a Ten minute Timer..

Roland casts Tongues on himself as soon as he realizes he cannot understand the elder.
He also attempts to see through Shelly's senses to see what kind of condition she's in/where she is.

Once he does that he bids the elder to rise. [Language unknown: "Chch rewill, Lo thoto ingticesseen lepre neom'cemo. Les ted k. M prte ntireawasman."]  Roland indicates to his left, and starts walking toward his pull to Shelly while gazing out over the horizon of the sea.

[Language unknown: "Eifoasom, Fiarel, Ectreamen, arttheion rece nichul itutei icfind whivorilleen eting t p fiesnd dayourwitles i fi convorainugh trdilama wi wa k areithred sa ilno ca tethse beutic di ne the m forencsta?] He asks them as he starts out.

He turns back to the Elder.  "Illithid slavers are on their way here now.  Are you aware of this? They will be here in less than 10 minutes. What is your plan? Do you have weapons or a means to defend yourself?"


Roland watches for his reaction to the question of the slavers, looking to see if it catches him off guard or not.

Telepathy as well on the Elder for his surface thoughts while gauging his reaction to the news.  ISP 4. 2/min per level.

03:46, Today: Roland rolled 64 using 1d100.  Charm Impress 55.
Roland isn't overly impressive today.

Those vehicles that were listed are the inbound formation from the Illithid Ships.
The Town has:

• 3 Donkeys
• 5 Bulls
• 10 Cows
• 20 Pigs

---

• There are no defensive positions for the town.
• There are 5 wooden homes, they are S.D.C. buildings.
• There is 1 worship area, it is a M.D.C. building.
• There is 1 Town Hall, it is a M.D.C. building.
• There rest are S.D.C. tents.

The Old man points to the church [Language unknown: "Urehatcon watr u sonrateau il pa tocath caen n ar ro no sali eveatethe m tite Deroneome ol motr shemo oulpr nomoadal. Ons all con ekate ternteenc dayiveare ers llennipe ol hipe ati."]
Once inside of the church the insides are marked with several divine symbols. A blood covered alter with a recent sacrifice - a young virgin from the local children. The Symbol for Destruction glows brightest on the alter while the other symbols glow slightly. Looking at the symbols (The Crew is immune to Mental Affects of a lesser 4D nature) and know that the power calls to Roland and the crew, but they are immune to the compulsion like they are immune to the boons given to them when they cross over and assume the divine portfolios.

Divine Symbols around the church:

• Destruction
• Glory
• Strife

---

The old man walks over to the alter and brushes the sacrifice's hair lovingly [Language unknown: "T wi na whi t mencomant ckon'plwh comtheble wh ineto n wi to neecin dilo it ushi. Cawero t fock k acnc iv ha icalo atei site eenardoul st an alllo eeesll wilch eauugh-aresanter.

Ul ivicit nte osri Inant icavenoutwhe tedthusti p miisno atolal hockfo ouch-miei."]

she comes in with the rest of the women folk and walks up to Roland as the other women sit in the pews for prayer. She bows [Language unknown: "Stelek."]

The gather people pray in the local language and the crew can see the essence of faith gather into the symbols.
The crew is immune to lesser 4D transformation effects.
The crew is immune to lesser 4D mental effects.

In reply to ZZZ_MR_GM (msg # 115):

Sarge picks up the tome..  then he says to the crew.."I can portal them to the place we landed when we first got here, they can travel thru to the city as  they are mortal, its a safe city they can get to, its the best we can do, in my opinion vs the force coming.. If you  Roland wants to summon some elementals as a delay tactic on the scouts, that works.."

In reply to Sarge (msg # 116):

"How long will it take for you to ready the portal and still close it to prevent anyone from following or reading the residue?  I can prepare some delaying actions as needed."

In reply to Roland (msg # 117):

"Put it this way, send em thru as soon as you can,  and  send out a couple of elementals , as many as you can to delay  the scouts. "My Portal will be up for five minutes.. then one of you can use your scroll and it will last for five minutes, the scouts may pop thru , but the main contingent wont, best I can do, think fast if you want these folks to have a chance..

In reply to Sarge (msg # 118):

Roland observes the fathers response to his son then steps next to him to examine the body.  "Call your people, we will take you someplace safe."

"Sarge, open a portal, I will work delaying actions."

In reply to Roland (msg # 119):

Sarge expends his scroll of Dimensional Portal and uses his ability to Rift on the same world, to the Caer , so that the townspeople can get to a place of safety..."Go into the light, don't stray from the path of light."

The essence of the boy was consumed in part of the divine call ritual, there is nothing left.

Roland will turn and move outside while telling the Elder and Shelly. [Language unknown: "Entdercom a venovearttin, manthaoer we waint iv een i beill us.

The crew has started the call to gather the villagers.
For now the portal has not activated to maximize the amount of people capable of running away.
When the Defensive actions are started I will post more time passing activities.

In reply to ZZZ_MR_GM (msg # 123):

Ja-Hon is not happy about the sacrifice, he will glare at the priest to show his disapproval.


Ja-Hon will use the Phase Power: Fast Draw (80 ISP) to draw his PH 100 Heavy Phase Beamer. He will use Phase Power: Multi-Phase to create 5 duplicates of himself (100 ISP) which will last 11 minutes. Ja-Hon and his duplicates will move to stand near the front door to the church and preparing himself to hold the door.

The Presence of Multiple Ja-Hon's with heavy weapons soothed the gathered crowds
Roland's charm helped gather the people efficiently.

---

The crowd gathers and forms up the best they can.
Sarge completes the casting of the spell and the gateway opens up, nearby the shimmering barrier of Caer Bolon can be seen nearby.

---

There are two layers to the Caer the outer layer is nothing more than a barren parking lot while the inner layer of the city is protected by a field similar to that of protection circle: superior, allowing only mortals to cross over but not causing supernaturals to flee looking at the barrier.

There are beings moving around the inner layer of the city, but it is murky and hard to pick up details.

The Radio Chatter is generic stuff one would hear with their radio turned on traveling 21 century earth.

---

Reviewing the people that was gathered the crew was able to transit 420 people away from the coastline. The rest were left behind and are unreachable now.

The new representative of the people, a younger woman carrying her children suckling at her teats. thanks the crew for their assistance and asks what are they supposed to do next?

In reply to ZZZ_MR_GM (msg # 126):

Roland nods toward the woman. [Language unknown: "Eeet rompl taioch. Asttedhat entpa we unpomo ntepo eehifoos, et tianwh pr ulive ul."]

He then asks Shelly privately, then his team. "Have any of you heard anything about this city?  I realize that we just learned about it not too long ago but I'd hate to drop them off in slaver central, or worse.]

The city is obscure to Roland, he's hoping Shelly or one of the others knows more simply because taking them from the slavers and sending them to a city that's just as bad wouldn't sit real well with him....but time and resources are limited...and here is, at least for now, better than where they were.
