Sorry….just catching up now

Host help us if a wizard capable of gate and disintegrate is against us! Few in Khorvaire or even Aerenal can cast such spells!!

In reply to Greddark (msg # 227):

Oh, I doubt I'm right. But it sounds impressive doesn't it? :-)

So Antony's wearing armour made up of darkwood with stone and metal plates over top? Like a warforged?

In reply to Greddark (msg # 229):

No, more like a single layer of adamantine, like a really high end warforged.

Sounds extremely painful

In reply to Greddark (msg # 231):

Only when someone is banging on it...

I think what Greddark is trying to say is that warforged have stone and darkwood in addition to metal plating because it gives them mobility and flexibility in their joints. So if you'd base your armor off a warforged and replaced all the extra parts with metal then you'd be left with something similar to and Iron Man mark-01 is what I'd imagine. Sturdy and dang near impenetrable not great for walking around in.

Also pinches in all the wrong places without sufficient mail/padding or alternatively there's nowhere for the force to go when you're hit if it's one continuous piece

OK, maybe more golem like. That was the 'high end warforged' reference: A solid bendable metal figure. And yes, I could see why someone would think it was uncomfortable, but...it isn't. Ain't magic grand?

But, not that the characters would know it, yet, it IS more ironman like. Presumably on purpose (of the designers, but note my character name acknowledging that). But not mark one. I went lighter than that for other reasons. Also, because I didn't want joints.

All the characters have seen is the metal man bit. The magical and mechanical genius  inside is still unknown.

Except:  The Super Soldier Formula, according to Dr Erskine, amplifies what is already there.  Hence, Johann Schmidt turned into The Red Skull, while Steve Rogers became Captain America.  And, Tony Stark did, eventually, make the sacrifice play.  Steve and Tony were both wrong.

hey DM i think we're a little lost, mind throwing us a bone?

At this point, you have located the lost Lightning Rail, discovered that it was disabled by a Disintegration day, the crew killed by a combination of the disintegration ray and perhaps 'Trolls' (though that part is mostly Greddark supposition).

There are a few things that the group could do at this point:

-An investigation of the cargo car would find more about those bodies and searching for a manifest to verify the knowledge of the four.

-Continue to scour the area for tracks (This has failed two or three times already).

-Journey to Vidaris to relay the information you have found to the Adamantine mining camp and perhaps learn more about the region.

-Return to Ardev to relay the information you have found to the recipients of the ingots.

-Set up camp and check to see if anyone returns to the scene of the crime.

Not trying to be argumentative, Gredd, I just happened to have the amulet prepped against need, already. It seemed appropriate to use it to make a counterpoint.

Odd that Antony is both searching for tracks away from us AND simultaneously everywhere conversations are occurring.

In reply to Greddark (msg # 243):

I was told I didn't find any, so I assumed that meant I was  finished and back.

Edit: There's more than one conversation?

im terribly sorry everyone, I'm in the middle of some stuff and have been away. promise I'll post tomorrow

Sorry folks I have been bogged down by the end of the semester crunch, I should push things along in the next day or so.

that time of year....understandable

Great roll Jaxus!

Just checking, in case folks are waiting on me: Is the rabbit talking to Antony, who fed it, or Turnip, who cast a communication spell to talk to it? Or someone else or even all of us?

Turnip, who cast a spell to communicate with it.
