Hook

Do you hate Ewoks? If so meet Jacob in Southam. Demonstration of mutations a plus.

Plot Synopsis

Tyn, who had run into Jacob by searching all the bars around the portal, decided to put up another sign that would be noticed as you go through the portal. The new sign gave a time and a place where she had seen Jacob. She later goes back to change the time.

Tanis sends a messenger, who finds Jacob and carries notes back and forth between them. The rest of the party eventually finds Jacob, with Claude looking like a 15 year old Geleian elf. Jacob decides to move the meeting to the Stopover Inn where Tanis is.

Once there Jacob explains that he wants to go to a world and obtain some crystals in which the inhabitants possess. Claude excuses himself from the group to visit the little elves room, where he goes all ghosty. The rest of the party (assuming the little elf has just fallen in) agree on a payment and prepare to leave.

Tyn picks the lock on the building surrounding the portal and the party enters. In order to relock the door Tanis removes the hinges, and then breaks them all while putting them back on.

Once on the other world, the party begins the journey to where the village was. Most of the trip is uneventful except for Claude reappearing in the tree tops and Mog being attacked by some water while trying to cross a small river.

When the village is reached they begin going through the rubble of the torched area. They find very little remaining, though there are some baskets, contaning scrolls, in holes in the trees that did survive. Tyn does find a path in the trees as well as a small pack of Tragdors (large dog-like creatures) which are barking and attacking the base of a tree. Claude, seeing what they are barking at, enters the hole at the base of the tree, and finds someone inside. He then proceeds to try and communicate with him. Jacob takes it upon himself to put most of the tragdors to sleep. Mog then takes out the remaining one. Once the dogs are removed the guy from inside the tree decides to try and get away and is stopped by Tanis. They attempt to question him and find that he only knows a few works in Ferric. They eventually let him go and make camp for the night. Mog takes one of the dogs and puts it in him bag while Jacob takes two back with him when he otherports. While on their watches some party members take to doing different searching activities. Jacob, unable to loot the crystals he was looking for, decides to call the mission off. The party then heads back to the portal.

Once through the portal they find out that the owners were none to happy that it has been used without their permission and has sent some goons. These goons were easily killed and the party was paid and dispersed.
