Malcazar - If nothing happens, will start sticking matching colored rods in holes.
Sings off key, "Mister Heartache, I've found a way to make him leave, Got a pocketful of rainbows,Got a star up my sleeve"

Malcazar inserts the coloured rods into the holes of the matching colour. Each one makes an audible click upon insertion and when the last rod goes in, they all strat glowing. After a few seconds, the rainbow painting on the wall starts to change - it takes the shape of an arced portal, with the colours of the rainbow swirling inside.

Noggin gasps. This has to be the most wonderful thing he has ever seen. He starts to gently herd the Porcuthingumijigs and the Yaks into the portal and then with the help of his friends carry the tank in too.

Noggin ushers his herd into the portal, one by one the animals are sucked into the swirling colours. The yaks are happy to go, but the porcupines need a bit of pushing to get through, and then Noggin enters the portal himself, holding the other end of the octopus tank. The hobbit vanishes, the tank vanishes and finally Malcazar and Gerin vanish too.
After a scene that resembles Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite from 2001, all of you reappear on the deck of the ship - you notice you all have been placed prone on small mattresses. Greeted by the animals and a very, very baffled looking sailor. He has his finger up, tries to say something but no words come from his mouth. As you gather your bearing, Blazapp the magic-user appears from the cabin.
"You returned! I was afraid you were as lost as poor Mr. Caldwell when you got sucked into the gem!", he exlaims. Plonk is with him, carrying a half-empty bottle of brandy he has snatched from someone.

Malcazar - seems bewildered, but gets up and gets his bearings peering out over the waves. "Well, that was interesting and I think we could all use a stiff drink or three."
OOC: Thanks for the game Kotfp. If this be the end. Was interesting and fun.
If people are up for another quick one everyone can level up to 4 and I would run again as I had something in mind, unless Lord Huthor was up for it.

Plonk hands over the brandy, while the wizard starts explaining his theory. He thinks that some kind of demon lived in the gem and Caldwell accidentally activated some curse that was housed inside, sucking everyone who touches it into a demiplane where it fed on the souls of those who perished there. Unfortunately poor young Caldwell's life energy was drained, and he is now nothing but a living corpse without a soul. The gem is now apparently inactive and non-magical, whatever that means. The captain comes to wonder the scene with the animals and asks Noggin what he plans to do with them (and promptly decides that whatever it is, he will take the gold chains on the yaks as payment). As you chat about your options, we fade to black and roll credits. POST CREDIT SCENE: somewhere in the wilderness a bugbear lies on his stomach. His fur is singed, clothes torn. As the creature slowly rises to his feet, we see a flash of rainbow fire in his eyes... CUT. OOC: Yeah, this is the end, good game and thanks. Leve 4 for you guys I'm open for more gaming with Plonk - didn't want to haul him with you as an NPC as this was a more puzzle based scenario, so a PC belonging to me in the mix would have felt silly. The statue Noggin has is worth 500GP at the nearest port, if you guys want to sell it. Chris, you can just post what Noggin does with the animals, no need to roleplay out it out with the captain - let's assume his gold chains are enough compensation for wherever you want to drop the critters

Great game, thanks!
Noggin arranges with the captain to have all his animals ferried up to his Dad's farm. He will just keep a pocketful of gold to pay for a few more arrows and some food. He will send any surplus to help build proper houses for them. Hopefully all this exotica will generate a small income for his hard working family? He has big plans to collect further stuff for them and looks forward to more adventures. He spends the rest of the voyage showing Plonk his wonderful animals and telling him about the amazing places he has seen. Bad news Noggs rolled a 2 so only +4 HP this level with constitution bonus. Now 24HP

Ok - so assuming I am up next to run (unless Lord Huthor wants to)
Part of the idea I had in mind, will be what I call '666- Skeletal hand of fate'.
It will involve being plunked down, from a dream by a skeletal hand(after you get a chance to get to shore and heal and shop etc) into a random classic adventure (there will be TSR and Judges Guild in the stack of 6 numbered adventures, the adventures are all approx mid level, some harder than others).
Someone will roll a d6 to determine the adventure. After that result I will have someone else roll a larger dice to determine a starting room #. After completing 6 rooms the skeletal hand of fate will drop you back off somewhere. Assuming you survive..
Where you end up could seem somewhat familiar to you, you are not allowed to pull the adventure you think you are in off the shelf and refresh yourself etc of course

I'm game if Huth doesn't want to run something.
d6 came up 5 by the way.

I'm game if Huth doesn't want to run something. d6 came up 5 by the way. Ok, now someone roll 3d20 and add 7 to the total result - and post that number you come up with (ie. you roll d20 3x and get 7,10,13= 30 +7 = 37 final result) (If Huthor chimes in and wants to run something, I will just use these results later when it gets run)

Thanks Sauna for the game.
As to me running something - I'll wait till we're a few levels higher.
For those who have missed it in previous threads/chat rants/full page newspaper ads - I hate writing/running low-level games.
All the good shit doesn't kick in until at least level 6!

Oh, also while I think of it - didn't Anti-Steve want to jump in at some point?
Now's probably a perfect time to add in another character. Will give the DM's a bit more breathing room in setting up encounters without having to worry so much about bad dice rolls/lethality (think I just invented a new word....).
Edited Gerin's hit points (5)/level/title/turn chart on the new thread.
Even picked spells for the first outing - I'm ready to rock!

OOC: Posted a recruiting ad
also - what is Faun? Is he a fighter (for purposes of saves etc)
also - where was the boat you were on heading?

Game- after 4 more days at sea , some dicey weather, and the chaos and stench added to the boat from all the yaks and porcupines you can't wait to hit land. the captain also seems happy to see you go as you finally approach a large harbour.
a vast city comes into view which the captain calls 'Samarcand' . Onion shaped domes and pointy spires can be seen as well as run down shacks nearer to the wharf. it smells of rotting fish and sea birds fly about as you debark. The captain agrees to transport the animals back to Noggins folks for the statue as payment.
it is now about 1pm. you stand near some docks. the place is abuzz with activity, people hauling nets, cleaning fish, selling incense and other trinkets. a snake charmer entertains nearby. Many here have light brown skin and some wear turbans. you are famished and sea weary. what would you like to do?

OOC: Faun is technically a thief at the levels we are at, except with no thief skills. Saves and attacks like one. Special abilities will start kicking in next level.

OOC and just for completeness. The sea captain took the Yak collars for payment. The pretty statue is still ours (unless as Noggin suggested we put it back into the Octopus tank). Onwards to more adventure!

Alright alright the gangs all assembled and now with an oily faced thief. Malcazar and Ballzap went off to do secret Wizard stuff. You are near the wharf. What you going to do?

Noggin fusses around making sure that everything is ready for the safe passage of his zoo. Eventually waving them off he returns to the gang. Seeing a new face he see's an opportunity to tell someone else about the wonderful places they have visited. He will ramble on giving lots of details (he pays extra special attention to his amazing animals) finally finishing with "But Malcazar and Gerin didn't want to help with the Octopussies and my friend Plonk wasn't there, he had some wine instead of coming into the gem with us,then I got the rod off the Ghouls, I'll tell you about them later (here he does a credible impression of a hissing and clawky ghoul) and they had to carry the tank back through the rainbow! Breathless he sits down on a pile of wharf stuff.

Remembering his manners eventually, he blushes and holds out his hand to the oily looking chap. "I'm Noggin Thornoggson by the way. Very pleased to meet you."
