Steel Realms

CHRONICLE: Feather’s Rise > (Second Era of Feather) > A segment of the journey taken as part of Mary & Feather’s Reconfiguration Plan.

Dunstrand Rising Living World CHRONICLE > Dunstrand Rising is a Living World campaign set in Grand Duchy of Dunstrand in the Steel Realms of the [Fantasy] Steel Realms Setting (planet of Helca).

Huff Hunts the Basilisk: The basilisk is guarding the Helm of Nicolougaus the Seer, its greater feywild power drawn to the strange vision and memories of the helm. The helm was possessed by Mendollin when he died and now in the marshes.

Basilisk was going to be poisoned with lizard folk poison w/Bella’s concoctions and it would take it out for three days. The poison was keyed to Feywild Blood. The basilisk was to live because Bella wanted it so – Feather assumes as a minion to Bella when she assumes the mantle of Witch of Dwindor. She did say it was not a requirement, but Feather advised Mary to take it out – its one less foe that the Gallants might have to fight in the future. Huff did find it, and confirmed again where it was hanging around in the Delta.

With the death of the basilisk (greater), the Aboleth tries to sense its presence/loss: Intuition = 13 = +2 for Apshai connection = 15 adj = success d6 days = 3; Travels to the location in 3 days. Aboleth sends troglodytes after 3 days of detecting its presence missing; Trog search = 3; do not find body parts what with tides taking out most of the remains.

Feather = taking items from basilisk, uses prestidigitation to preserve. She covers herself in blood of the basilisk to keep predators away while pulling a travois with Mary on it.
