March 6th: Mekton Zeta

We start this campaign with a brief history:

The universe is at a so-called peace. Hyborea is now subject to attacks and the three rules have been broken. (There is more history, but you'll have to read the email.)

Nisha is on her way back to Hyborea and receives a summons from Dr. Browning. She decides to stop at home before meeting with him. At home she finds her mail which included a postcard of the destroyed downtown area. Thinking it's a in bad taste joke, she discards it. She calls Dr. Browning to set up a meeting and he sends a car for her. When she arrives at the university, she goes to Dr. Browning's office. He explains the case he would like her to work on. The case involves a Dassani woman who's head exploded. The military has closed the case, but Dr. Browning believes there is more to find out. He tells her that if there is anything she needs, let him know and to watch out for Major Briggs.

After her meeting with Dr. Browning, she visits her parents who work for the university. Talking to her parents goes as expected. She gets in contact with Alexi who agrees to meet with her for supper at the cafeteria.

Meanwhile, Malcolm arrives on Hyborea after being told where to land. He is watched very carefully and is inspected. Malcom goes to his Hilton hotel room where he receives a message from Leonardo Silbeck. Malcom returns the message and agrees to meet with Leonardo for supper at Oregano. Durning the meeting, Leonardo propositions Malcolm about importing and exporting. Malcolm agrees to help and decides to spend the night on the town.

After Alexi agrees to meet with Nisha, he gets a hold of Vayron who agrees to check on downtown and "investigate" Nisha. Nisha reviews the materials given to her by Dr. Browning and meets up with Alexi. She discusses working with Alexi and why Dr. Browning has hired her. Alexi tells her that if she wants to work with him, she has to work with Vayron as well. Nisha calls Vayron over and discuss a plan on how to get Alexi's girlfriend's dead body from the military morgue and where to find a forensics lab. Nisha talks to Dr. Browning about security at the morgue and finding a forensics lab with all the equipment she needs. After the meeting, Nisha talks to Vayron about the holding building and he decides to case the building. Once Vayron comes back, Nisha, Alexi, and Vayron discuss the best plan of action.

The group decides the best plan of action is to get the paperwork to obtain the corpse. Alexi contacts his youngest sister and she agrees to get the paperwork that Nisha needs. Dr. Browning calls Nisha and he tells her he has started a business and procured a lab in Nisha's name. Before the group checks out the new lab, Alexi tells Nisha she is sparring with him. Afterwards, they head to the lab to setup the equipment that is delivered. Vayron sets up a "paranoid" security system. Just as they are getting done setting up, the first client shows up. Nisha decides that the dogs they brought in were poisoned. The client is impressed with the results and timeliness of the diagnosis.

Meanwhile, Malcolm starts calling some contacts and ends up calling Dr. Browning. Dr. Browning contacts Alexi to check out Malcolm. Alexi calls Jericho for information, then goes to spy on Malcom. Alexi and Vayron decide to bug a card to give to Malcolm. Alexi heads over to the Hilton. While Alexi shows up at the Hilton, a Dassani woman lets herself into Malcolm's room. She seduces Malcolm and the last thing he remembers is a vision of the Dassani women carrying something. When Alexi gets to the room, there is a pool of blood coming out from under the door. Alexi breaks the door down and finds a dead female student. Malcolm is unconscious, but holding the "murder weapon" in his hand.

Alexi, Vayron and Nisha go to Dr. Browning's to discuss Malcolm's dilemma. Vayron and Nisha decide that they need to break into Malcolm's room to gather evidence. Vayron goes to scope out the security and how to get into the room. He also talks to some engineers to put together a robot to help them break in.

February 7: Eastern Kingdoms

The group takes two months off and they take that time to buy epic gear. Ray makes arrangements with Xelf to stay in the life of their child and Brigget marries Wendy in a very elaborate, outdoor wedding.

After two months, a mithril golem comes to Grace and summons the party to the mage tower. They follow the golem and Jarl and Ronan meet them in one of Ronan's rooms. The two tell the group that the troll they had killed had friends. These friends set up a place in southern Kalimdor and are stealing and recruiting people. They ask the group to investigate and they accept. Ronan also mentions that the king has gone missing, and not to mention it to anyone. The group talks to the arch mage to use a portal to Gadgetzen.

Angus now has a talking dog for a pet. The group tries to gather information and find out that the abductions happen at night and they have taken humans, elves, and dwarves. Anyone that "survives" say it is a big, shadowy figure with teeth and claws. The group decides to use Ray as bait. Halfway through a pathetic attempt to bluff sleeping, Grace and Ray switch places. Brigget decides to wander through town and Harrison follows him. After several hours, the group, minus Angus, congregate back in one of their rooms.

February 6th: Eastern Kingdoms

The group prepares for the day and continues on towards the Caverns of Time. Luckily, the sandstorm has started to lessen. Ray leads the party to the entrance of a cave and triggers a pressure plate. Harrison isn't able to disable it, but makes an outline so the rest of the party doesn't trigger it as well. The group heads down in to the cave and comes to an intersection. The decision is to go right. The group follows the path for some time before they realize it's a big loop. They turn around and go back to the intersection and take the left path. After a while, they hear a group of goblins/humans. Fighting ensues and the group finds out the others are carrying explosives. The party wins the battle, and continue on deeper into the cave. They come to a room with broken statues, a troll, a blood elf and a goblin who all have tattoos. The troll comes after the group and has a blasphemy effect on him that paralyze Rod, Harrison, and Angus. During the battle, Wendy shows up in her true dragon form. She brings Brigget back from death, unparalyzes the rest and tells Brigget that she has taken herself out of the time continuum and can't return to her dragon form. With Wendy's help, the group becomes victorious.

Brigget and Grace search the statues. All the statues are made are all the same, made in the same era and are all pristine. They also find some containers filled with essences and find two very large gems with souls trapped inside. Grace examines the gems and comes to the conclusion that they could be Jarl and Ronan, but it could also be something else that could be dangerous. While Grace is examining the gems, Brigget pushes part of one of the broken statues into his portable hole. He is transported to the Astral plane. Meanwhile, Harrison tries to identify the objects he has found. Harrison walks out of the cave and tries to send a message to Isa. The sending goes out, but nothing comes back.

Brigget tries to hearth to Goldshire from the Astral plane, but he ends up somewhere that doesn't look familiar to him. He goes to a farm and asks for direction and finds out his strider can fly. The strider takes him to Ironforge while he finally reads the manual.

The rest of the party hearth to Stormwind and go to talk to the mages. They find out the scarab necklaces and the troll's sword are part of the Curage. The mages also say the only way to find out what is in the gems is to break them. Grace is very hesitant about this since there is no way the group could survive if the souls are hostile. They decide to have a necklace made for Wendy from Brigget,since she gave up the continuum for him. Brigget heads to Goldshire, trying to come up with a poem for Wendy and picking some flowers for her as well.

The rest of the group arrives in Goldshire, shortly before Brigget does. Brigget tries to recite the poem to Wendy, while Harrison slips some things into Brigget's pocket. The poem Brigget recites is not very good, so Grace covers for him. Brigget and Grace begin to argue about the soul stones when Harrison decides to break one against the other. Seeing this, Ray does a dive to the floor, pulling the table with him. All in slow motion! The smaller of the two gems break, and Ronan is revealed. Ronan regains his senses and suggests that they free Jarl outside. Once Jarl is freed, he is in his dragon form looking very much like a prismatic dragon with bronze phasing the most. Jarl reverts to his human form, and tells the group he is upset. Takes the group back to the Caverns of Time. Jarl explains that the statues are a containment field for Kathun and that breaking them weakens the field. Harrison shows Jarl the essence containers and tells the group to keep it closed. The group shows Jarl the rest of what they discovered in the room. There is a bronze scepter in a scabbard that Jarl takes out. He explains that he has been searching for it for some time and that the scepter is the key for the group to go home, although it has been corrupted. After this insight, the group informs Jarl and Ronan what the have found and gathered.

Jarl tells the group that once the scepter is uncorrupted, they can return home, where everything will be as it was before they came to this world. Grace asks that she be returned to her normal appearance. She is transformed and decides to stay. Harrison decides to stay since he was dead before coming to this world. Ray decides to stay because he didn't want his child growing up without him, and he's a hero here. Brigget takes Wendy aside and talks to her. Brigget decides to stay and proposes to Wendy.
