+Title:  bss's Toughness
+
+# bss's Toughness
+
+The core Toughness feat seems to be a bit too weak, and I have yet to be at
+a table where anyone has taken it. I think this improves it.
+
+> ### bss's Toughness
+
+> ***Adventurer Tier:*** Increase your baseline hit points value by 1
+> (i.e., a wizard with bss's Toughness has the hit points of a cleric).
+> You cannot take both this feat and ordinary Toughness.
+
+This feat makes the bonus hp increase linearly per level rather than non-linearly per tier, and
+grants more bonus hp overall. For example, assuming a barbarian with no
+CON mod (for simplicity):
+
+*Toughness would grant 3 hp at level 1, for 14% (3/21) bonus hp, as would
+bss's Toughness. At level 4, the Tough barbarian would have 7% (3/42) bonus hp,
+but bss's Tough barbarian would still have 14% (6/42). At level 5, the
+Tough barbarian has 12% (7/56) bonus hp, and bss's Tough barbarian remains at
+14% (8/56) (and will throughout). At level 7, the vanilla Tough barbarian has
+only an 8% (7/84) bonus, at level 8 the bonus is 12% (14/112), and at level 10
+the bonus is back down to 8% (14/168).*
+
+This also benefits lower-hp classes more than tanks. (Classes with 8 base hp
+very briefly get less hp from this feat, even.) Also, I think it's just easier to
+grok.
+
+You are free to still take the core Toughness feat if you'd like.

+## Play Notes
+
+### Session 1
+
+The party of Sleznik, Harve'i, Thorbert, Girael, and Tasha encounter goblins breaking into Rio's
+Curios, a shop of various magic trinkets and similar in the town of Highwind. Their particular
+target was a codex on the creation of dracoliches, which Rio was holding. A local necromancer
+desired the codex.
+
+Killing the goblins and learning of the plot, the party decided to chase the goblins, while Rio fled
+(to the necromancer's) with the codex.
+
+### Session... 11?
+
+* They go back to the keep proper
+* Captain asks about the orb
+* Party plays dumb
+* Actually, Alex smuggled it in a centipede
+* They fail their bluffing to convince the captain they don't have it
+* **Noah uses Diabolist confilcted 6 to say that demons strike the outside
+  of the keep as a distraction**
+* Demon stuff happening outside draws most of the attention out
+* ... but Noah is very obviously Diabolist-y now, and the guards attack!
+* Four guards and a captain and warmage attack, but the latter two flee
+* They kill (!) they guards.
+* They make it top side, see everyone fighting a big demon, and go the other
+  way
+* If they're leaving the demon, they're making a grave mistake
+* They're kind of making an argument for the greater Crusader good which
+  lets them avoid the demon
+* In an insane series of DM rolls, Thorbert can know any secret, and he
+  thus suddenly learns the alchemical formula to the philosopher's stone.
+  **I will provide this to Noah by next session.** (the life/immortality one)
+* **Noah Archmage conflicted 6** --- they pour flaming oil on the demon, and
+  the wizard nullifies the fire resistance of the demon, so the demon is
+  dead and the party helped. Yay!
+* Then they get the heck out of the keep.
+* Reminder: **Thorbert's orb is the one from Brandon's sidequest to give
+  it to the PoS**
+* Harve'i figures out where they are now after they ride away --- **they
+  are a bit north of of Foothold**
+* They started at Horizon, so they went some distance away. Magic!
+* They're thinking of making their way to Foothold and see if they can take
+  a boat to the Midland Sea, and go from there to Shadow Port and/or
+  Horizon.
+* They see an airship flying overhead after a couple days, the
+  **[REDACTED]**'s airship, going back to the Crusader's keep to
+  **[REDACTED]** (but they of course don't know that the
+  keep is kinda in a bad shape right now).
+* Harve'i flies up there to see what's going on with them.
+* Harve'i says he's going to Horizon.
+* Guy says that there **has been weird sudden magical surges going on in
+  Horizon, but they don't know why or didn't before they flew away.**
+* Harve'i takes his leave and flies away.
+* **Sleznik (The Three negative 6) somehow knows how to make airship
+  engines.**
+
+### Session 12
+
+* They see weird animals as they go, Harve'i leads them further in
+* He was being pulled to the area by the forest, it felt like
+* They see the tree and go into it
+* marching order: Sleznik, Harve'i, Thorbert
+* Sleznik starts messing with one of the skeletons
+* Battle
+* Harve'i takes the fake gems, the ward is tripped
+* Sleznik loots the jars, 90 gp
+* Battle, with the ward
+* Harve'i's "nice" gems are laughing at him!
+* Harve'i/Thorbert feel the need to purge the place of its evil
+* Harve'i feels bad about the demon stuff... maybe that's why he wants
+  to cleanse it.

+## Character Generation
+
+Character generation is by the book. See the resources below for classes and
+options and whatnot.
+
+## Resources
+
+Generally speaking, all the below sources are in with no/minimal review from me. If you find
+something you're interested in in another source, let me know, I don't mind using more
+content from third party books or homebrew or whatever.
+
+* Classes
+    * Core books are, naturally, 100% in:
+        * **13th Age Core Rulebook** (*Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, Wizard*)
+        * **13 True Ways** (*Chaos Mage, Commander, Druid, Monk, Necromancer, Occultist*)
+        * **Book of Demons** (*Demonologist*)
+    * By the same authors, **13th Age Glorantha** has usable stuff that needs little/no porting:
+        * Five new classes (*Berserker, Earth Priestess, Hell Mother, Humakti, Trickster*)
+        * Five "transformation" classes, new takes on existing classes (*Orlanthi Warrior [Barbarian], Rebel [Rogue], Storm Voice [Sorcerer], Troll Warrior [Barbarian], Wind Lord [Fighter]*)
+        * New options for the *Monk*.
+    * **Dark Pacts & Ancient Secrets** is well-regarded, if you're interested (*Abomination, Fateweaver, Psion, Savage, Swordmage, Warlock*)
+    * I haven't read **The Overworld and Beyond** yet, but it has a couple (*Realm-Walker, Void-Caller*)
+* Races
+    * Core stuff's all in the **13th Age Core Rulebook** (*Humans, Dwarves, Half-Orcs, Elves, Gnomes, Half-Elves, Halflings, Dragonics, Holy Ones, Forgeborn, Demontouched*)
+    * **13th Age Glorantha** has variant *Human* stuff, and especially weird *Ducks* and *Trolls*, which may make for templates for other monsters
+    * **Dark Alleys & Twisted Paths** has more weird races that I haven't looked at yet, as does **The Overworld and Beyond**
+* Feats, Talents, etc.
+    * Naturally, everything in the core books above is in
+    * Likely, all the stuff in the other books above, too
+        * **Dark Alleys & Twisted Paths** especially has various class options for all the non-Glorantha classes above
+    * **Deep Magic** - a complex set of spellcasting talents for wizards and non-wizards alike, spell schools, and lots of spells
+
+There are a couple more books and 'zines I've uploaded if people want to get
+really wild, but talk to me about those.
+
+## House Rules
+
+I haven't had much need to house-rule stuff yet, and we're going to try to
+do icon relationships by the book to start. If we have issues, we can try using
+either of my alternate rules to add some crunch to story-guide rolls, or to
+replace icons with something like Glorantha runes.
+
+But, for now, icons and story-guide rolls as written in the core book. Here
+are the only things I have tweaked from the start:

+Title:          13th Age
+Description:    Organized content, campaign notes, and so on for the 13th Age roleplaying game.
+
+# 13th Age
+
+This page, and the pages under it, collect a variety of campaign notes, characters, other mechanical
+bits, and whatever else I end up dropping here for usage by me and my players, but if any of this is
+of interest to you as a random passerby, feel free to use it.
+
+## Yacsra
+
+The world of [Yacsra](yacsra/), bss's *yet another campaign setting, roughly assembled*, is a
+personalization and expansion of the Dragon Empire, 13th Age's deliberately open-ended
+meta-setting. The material that I've written or that my tables have come up with off the cuff
+should generally slot into published Dragon Empire source material, with few explicit overrides or
+replacements, and those things become part of Yacsra.
+
+As much as it is just-in-time expansion of a campaign framework, Yacsra is inherently incomplete and
+subject to change. Nevertheless, current campaign setting information is organized in [Yacsra's main
+page](yacsra/).
+
+### Campaigns in the World of Yacsra
+
+These pages organize characters and other campaign notes for the groups themselves. Depending on my
+levels of organization and coordination, established truths generally move from these pages to the
+Yacsra campaign setting when they seem ready and appropriate for the "mainline".
+
+The following campaigns are currently running, at my however-slow pace:
+
+* [Clouds and Chimeras](clouds-and-chimeras/)
+* [Crimson](crimson/)
+
+Currently-lost campaigns, before I started organizing things here under Yacsra, that nevertheless
+influenced it, or at least me:
+
+* Sins of the Past, a time- and dimension-spanning Shadowrun-y 13th Age game that eventually became
+  traditional fantasy anyway
+* Shards of Jade II, an especially off the rails adventurer mischief sandbox
+
+## Other Characters
+
+Other characters I've made for whatever reason:
+
+* [Valon Amarathar](valon-amarathar) — for Alex's campaign, Seven Rings
+
+## House Rules
+
+I don't consider myself much of a game designer, but nonetheless I have added
+some house rules to the game. I will try to catalog them here, just in the
+event I reuse them or they are useful to someone else.

+Title:  Influence Points
+
+# Influence Points
+
+I am often faced with the problem of needing cues to improvise, and not
+always having the most creative uses of the core book's pre-session icon
+relationship rolls. Some players, to varying degrees, have the same dilemma,
+leading to story-guide icon relationship rolls going unused and
+forgotten.
+
+This quasi-rule allows for some mechanical benefit to be tied to the
+rolls, useful in a pinch, and also more explicitly gives players some
+control over the story. (They already had this control, of course, but we
+might as well reassert it.) None of this is meant to replace or supercede
+the core book's suggestions on story-guide results.
+
+> ## Influence Points
+
+> Rolling 5s and/or 6s on the per-session story-guide icon relationship rolls grants
+> an advantage tied to the rolled relationship, to be treated as a resource
+> (perhaps even a physical resource, like a coin) granted
+> to the player for each 5 or 6 for them to spend as they see fit.
+> These results can be used very similarly to e.g. Savage Worlds bennies,
+> including but not limited to the suggestions below.
+>
+> These usages are for the players to cash in their points if the GM has
+> been slacking or if the player has a great idea of their own, but the GM
+> reserves the right to inform the player that they have other plans *this session* for a
+> particular roll that just haven't surfaced yet. Maybe both the GM's idea and
+> the player's idea both play out, or one cedes the floor to the other, or who
+> knows! Maybe different factions from the same icon start pulling the PC in
+> different directions with their now-public drama.
+>
+> **NOTE: you can also apply these effects to a willing ally.**
+>
+> * Obtaining a magic item or other favor, as per the core rules.
+> * Dramatic combat effect, e.g. +1‐+3 to attack, damage bonuses, and
+>   the like. Auto-crit might be too much to ask, unless the drama *really*
+>   calls for it.
+> * Grant yourself a reroll and take the better result on any d20 roll, or
+    force an opponent to reroll and take the worse result.
+> * Redistribute the party's recoveries.
+> * Pass a death save as if you rolled a 20 — be sure to narrate
+>   how personal and/or iconic energies let you shrug off death.
+> * Redirect the story — if you'd like the current events to be going
+>   a different way, spend a point and narrate what happens instead. I'll
+>   try to work with it.
+> * Establish a long-term truth — if you would like to, say, tie
+>   your character to a quest for a powerful artifact, iconic goal, or
+>   whatever, assert it as a fact of the world. Hopefully we won't leave
+>   too many of these dangling.
+>
+> The normal uses of icon relationship rolls still apply.

+Title:  Spheres of Influence
+
+# Spheres of Influence
+
+As it turns out, every one of my games ends up reinterpreting icon relationship
+dice as instead relationships to the forces the icons represent, somewhat
+filing the icons themselves off of the mechanic and pushing them and their
+direct agents a bit further off-stage.
+
+In light of this, I am attempting here to codify a replacement. It borrows
+heavily from **13th Age Glorantha**'s runes.
+
+## Aether
+
+The universe is a swirling aether of forces from which all reality has taken
+shape. Creation has been influenced by these forces — broken out into
+prominent spheres of influence — and their interplay as they ebb and
+flow. Whether the distant gods have created the spheres or are beholden to
+them is uncertain.
+
+The vast majority of living things are not consciously aware of the one or
+more spheres that guide their being, and even the average sentient creature
+may only be able to generally observe the influence of the spheres on their
+life.
+
+Prominent characters, including the PCs, are different, however. They are
+able to attune to the aethereal spheres, drawing on their power and using it
+to consciously and unconsciously shape the world. The most powerful of these
+beings may appear as avatars of the gods, or perfect champions of one sphere,
+or simply master manipulators of certain forces that make up the world.
+
+## Spheres
+
+Below is a list of the twenty primary spheres active in the game, and possible
+manifestations or examples of their influence on the world.
+
+*Note:* use this table for rolling a random sphere, as per rune rules.
+
+d20 | Sphere    | Examples

+
+### One Unique Thing
+
+The spirits of a previous age whisper in his subconscious. Sometimes, they're louder.
+
+### Icon Relationships
+
+* **Positive w/High Druid** (1) — the wild is the only true order, nature the only true
+  law. All things in balance, and there's a lot that needs rebalancing by the sword.
+* **Conflicted w/Elf Queen** (1) — pleased to serve the Court of Stars, but by a permanent
+  family seat, also knows where some of the bodies are buried.
+* **Negative w/The Three** (1) — that familial permanent seat in the court?  Long line
+  of *very* successful dragon-slayers.
+
+### Backgrounds
+
+* **World-walker** (4) — in his many years, Valon has traveled through countless areas and
+  survived in all types of terrain, from the snowy wastes of the north to the
+  hellholes that blight the land, finding ways to utilize any abundant or scarce environment.
+  Even in the great cities of the Empire, Valon has learned to subsist and thrive on his own.
+* **Adept Jury-rigger** (2) — while not particularly bright or wise, *by the Golden Bow,
+  he's got moxie*. Valon has a knack for creating makeshift contraptions and tools for the
+  situation.
+* **Greenbark Holt Scout** (2) — before caught by wanderlust, Valon was a scout, lookout,
+  and patrol in his home forest. The guard is renowned for their ability to bound from tree
+  without making a sound, and it is rumored that the greatest of their ranks can make themselves
+  unseen in any natural area.
+
+### Health, Initiative
+
+**Hit Points:** 35 hp; **Recoveries:** 8; **Recovery Dice:** 3d8+1; **Initiative:** +8
+
+### Defenses
+
+**Armor Class:** 18; **Physical Defense:** 18; **Mental Defense:** 12
+
+### Attacks
+
+* **Melee:** +8 vs. AC, 3d8+4+2 damage; 3 damage on a miss [d12s for damage if *harvest* was cast]
+* **Double Melee:** +8 vs. AC, 3d6+4+2 damage; 3 damage on a miss [d10s for damage if *harvest* was cast]
+    * *Natural even hit or miss:* do it again
+* **Ranged:** +8 vs. AC, 3d8+5 damage; 3 damage on a miss
+
+### Racial Power
+
+* ***Elven Grace*** — start of each turn, roll a die (d6 to start), if equal to or lower
+  than the escalation die, get an extra standard action that turn; each success bumps the
+  die up a notch.
+
+### Talents, Miscellaneous Feats
+
+* **The Huntress's Blessing** [Ranger ex Cathedral] — choose a daily or recharge spell of
+  level or lower from the cleric class, can change spell each full heal-up.
+    * **Default: *harvest*** [*hammer of faith*] — daily, standard, close-quarters; until the end
+      of battle, basic melee attacks use d12s as their base.
+    * ***Adventurer Feat:*** can cast *heal* once per battle.
+        * ***Will to Hunt*** [*heal*] — close-quarters, quick, 1/battle: myself or ally I'm next to can heal using
+          a recovery.
+* **Double Melee Attack** — when using two one-handed weapons, can choose double attack
+  before rolling the attack: weapon die drops a notch, if first attack is natural even, make
+  a second attack as a free action.
+* **Lethal Hunter** — 1/battle, free action; choose an enemy (or mob of mooks), crit
+  range on attacks against that enemy expand by 2 for the battle.
+    * ***Adventurer Feat:*** crit range of Lethal Hunter attacks expands by 1 (to +3).
+* **Heritage of the Sword** — +2 damage to attacks with d6/d8 swords.
+
+### Gear
+
+* a *longsword of thunderbolts* — recharge 11+, roll d6 at the start of battle, when escalation
+  die equals value, lightning from the sky deals 2d10 extra lightning damage on a hit
+* two longswords passed down from his father, not yet important enough to be named
+* a hand-crafted longbow, and enough arrows
+* some knives, because you always need knives
+* well-worn leather armor (light), occasionally repaired or reworked with the hides of beasts
+  (monstrous or otherwise) he has killed
+* twine, some animal fat, extra hides worn as adornment, one bull's horn, various claws and nails,
+  a bedroll, flint and steel, plants collected from his last time out on the trail, a pendant
+  proving his Amarathar blood (it emits a high-pitched whine when worn by anyone else, which is
+  annoying), a blindfold (not sure how he got it either), some candles, a couple torches, tanner's
+  kit
+* 10 gp
+
+## History/Notes
+
+### Session 1
+
+* Conflicted w/Elf Queen 6
+* Negative w/The Three 5
+
+Kobolds led by Agamir (a powerful black dragon) attacks town where we are, learn afterwards
+he's after one of the Seven Rings - Spirit. Learn most of this from the priestess in town,
+Bridget Onderfield. She sends us to Valynn's tomb in order to retrieve the ring, with the goal
+of moving it out from where the dragon might be able to get to it. We can do whatever with the
+ring as long as the dragon doesn't get it.
+
+Used the -Three 5 to buy us more time to get to the tomb under cover, but that's going to come
+with some serious ramifications later.
+
+Used +Elf Queen 6 to talk our way past the guards in the tomb.
+
+Killed some skeletons I think.
+
+Used my incremental advance on next level's hp.
+
+### Session 2
+
+### Session 3
+
+Vivian trying to find father, who is looking for demonroot to cure Vivian's possession.
+
+Cultists moving in two weeks per Lich King relationships. Going to library to see if it's
+been taken over by Agamir's kobolds.
+
+Used my incremental advance on Hertiage of the Sword feat.
+
+### Session 4
+
+To the library!
+
+We get ambushed by kobolds, one is riding a bat!
+
+We found a *sword of thunderbolts*! (Book of Loot p.36)
+
+We are in the library trying to find the book to find info about the Seven Rings, we can't
+find the book immediately, I use ~Elf Queen 5 to say that the library has background with
+the court and I have a better idea of where the book is. We find six green books that
+could be *the* book, so we take them all.
+
+Then, going to the other quest, to see if we can find Vivian's father, we get to a cave
+with an abandoned camp, and a demonic dire wolf attacks us
+
+We decide to go to the Underdark thing later and go do the Kazamov's cult thing now.
+
+### Session 5
+
+**Conflicted w/Elf Queen 5**
+
+We check in the quests, get our rewards, tell the guildmaster about the previous party
+going for the demonroot that seemed to have run off into the Underdark. Because we turned
+in the quests, we're guild members now! Yay!
+
+*Also, the party has 1000 gp.*
+
+Maybe the drow from the other adventuring party can help us, later, but for now we decide
+to stick with the plan to deal with Kazamov's cult whatever.
+
+We go to the temple of Tyrn, going to set off a distraction in a town that lures the passing
+cultists out of their ransacked homes and come into an ambush set by Raynor's cavalry.
+
+We get a wagon, some booze, fireworks, (including THE BIG ONE, as a signal to start the
+ambush), food, and we're ready!?
+
+### Session 6
+
+**Positive w/High Druid 5**, **Conflicted w/Elf Queen 5**
+
+Going into the Underdark to look for Gustov Eldt, father of Vivian
+
+We decide to party up with the half elf (Blay), dwarf, drow (Idni), mushroom man party that we
+saw in the guild, and have them guide us through the Underdark to look for Gustov.
+
+We start reading the green books from a while ago, we find a poem about the seven rings
+
+General clues regarding with the location of the rings. A bookmark appeared, or something, maybe?
+
+Blay Skycorn - half-elf with chakrams with the Priestess and the Diabolist on them
+
+We enter the underdark caves, get split up and attacked by some sporriors and other mushroom guys,
+but we take care of them
+
+More walking, small cavern with a pillar of stone, with a forgeborn very similar to Amalgam. it's A-1200!
+apparently Amalgam is A-001!? and A-1200 wants to destroy Amalgam!
+
+After the battle, we learn of the fate of the other A-00X untis that the 1200 unit was hunting. Amalgam's
+got some interesting locations of other "defective" units that need to be destroyed/analyzed. Amalgam
+also has learned where the creators of A-1200 are.
+
+locations:
+
+* capital city
+* opposite direction
+* pirate city toward the coast to the east
+* kingdom near mountain rage away from the empire
+* went south, kept going
+
+
+Massive wide-open cavern with bioluminescence from mushroom stalks. they start worshipping Yakha
+as a deity or something, the head mushroom queen(?) indicates that the drow are working with
+Kazamov
+
+Gustov and party were rescued from "plague bearers" and kept in a mushroom house
+
+We check out the house, Vivian's real happy to see her dad
+
+Oh shit though, it's very nearly a full moon
+
+### Session 7
+
+**Positive w/High Druid 5**, **Conflicted w/Elf Queen 5**
+
+**Incremental Advance for Level 3**, took Lethal Hunter Adventurer Feat.
+
+We're helping the mushroom people with their migration, and then heading to the city of
+Corners. There's a cleric there that can maybe heal lycanthropy. closer to Corners
+than Kingsmouth
+
+We get to Corners in late afternoon. it's the intersection of three nations, a hub town
+
+We try to find a place to lock up Vivian for a bit while she does the whole lycanthropy
+thing. somewhere secure, etc. contacts bounce us around a bit, we find out about Grosh
+who is a monster collector or something, we'll maybe keep Vivian there? but also
+an arena.
+
+Vivian's still on board but doesn't want to fight
+
+Grosh offers to contain Vivian for a couple days if we get an escapee for him, Jackie.
+Can be found on the south side of town in a marsh!? Look for a lady with blackbird emblems
+in bars, is the most we have to work with
+
+We find her, she was following us, she put the black feather in Yakha's book. so she knows
+about the rings, about the priestess, all that. seems like she wants to lead us to the
+Seven Rings
+
+We pay someone... 200 gp? to go scout out what's going on in Grosh's place while we wait to
+meet up with Jackie.
+
+Next time we'll try to find Bridget (from the first session) and see if she can help us with
+the demon curse
+
+### Session 8
+
+**Positive w/High Druid 5**, **Conflicted w/Elf Queen 5**
+
+We check out the place where Bridget has been staying, it's more like a refugee shelter
+
+Cyrodin, the first town we came from, followed Cywin, god of cycles
+
+1000 gp gold - 200 gp from the guy snooping around Grosh's = 800 gp
+
+we are planning to spring Vivian by intercepting her after she is exited from the arena
+on the third day of her lycanthropy, and then take her and Bridget out of the town to
+perform an exorcism, and get the moon demon out of her
+
+we spend 300 gp on five vials of quicksilver (for the party). Valon takes two right away
+in order to prepare for the exorcism
+
+500 gp left
+
+we break Vivian out, run into brass dragon Kaba, we free the various animals and we
+both go on our way.
+
+we're going to fight the moon demon in the ritual next time, as it's a boss battle,
+so assuming that goes fine without anyone dying...
+
+On to Blackanchor!
+
+Jackie had a ship ready for us to go to Blackanchor, as she's going there as well. She's looking
+for the Ring of Water, but she thinks that she can also help Amalgam find what he's looking for
+
+River!
+
+we get 300 gp from the collar (to capture/escape Vivian) that we never needed, so Jackie sold it and
+gave us a cut.
+
+### Session 9
+
+**Positive w/High Druid 5**, **Conflicted w/Elf Queen 5**
+
+we kill the moon demon! some blue gem flies out of it and flies to Vivian! and now we're
+level 3! we get a *ring of purity* from the loot!
+
+We think Amalgam should take the ring, so he does
+
+Last time, we learned about Ironbeard, and got flown out to his ship by Drake's wyverns, so now that the
+boss battle from last time has resolved, we're back to the present, on Ironbeard's ship.
+
+Ironbeard is one of Amalgam's clones, but way more beat up and missing parts and junk
+
+Using the conflicted Elf Queen 5 to learn more about what's going on with the Dwarf King and the
+amalgam forgeborn.
+
+The forgeborn have something to do with the Emperor, maybe there's a collab going on there? Amalgam was
+in the imperial army, so why is the Dwarf King looking for all the others? Valen knows that the imperial army
+has been collaborating with the elven vassal state south of the empire, $NAME_HERE. Perhaps the Emperor and
+Dwarf King and this vassal state are amassing a giant army to expand his borders beyond Corners? Using the
+Forgeborn?
+
+It's uncertain if the Emperor and Dwarf King are in cahoots, as it were
+
+Large crabs on the beach where we land at Orc King's Eye. They are irongrasp crabs, they got their
+name from really good reflexes. They don't let go of swords, the jerks
+
+As we make our way into the island, we fight some gnolls on a river
+
+### Session 10
+
+**Positive w/High Druid 5**
+
+Ironbeard believes there's something on the island that others prefer him not to get, and he's
+thinking he (or some amalgam unit) needs to amalgamate with whatever the thing is that we find
+on the island. Not sure what it is, but we'll know it when we see it
+
+Farley, our blink dog, says he doesn't like the island, there's some sort of weird dimensional feel
+to it. Yakha detects some sort of planar disturbance
+
+There are gnolls guarding the entrance to a temple
+
+We kill the gnolls, and start checking out the stairs into the temple
+
+We start entering the temple, which turns out it's populated by somebody? Lit torches on the way in
+and everything. We get to the bottom, there's a large double door three statues --- one to the left,
+one above, one to the right. Each holding a bowl. Left = child, above = adult, right = old person.
+Sex and race of the statues shift as we look at them. Before the door is a fourth bowl with coins,
+pedestal reads "A fee must be paid to he who is most worthy". Under statues:
+
+* child: give to me for I have the most potential
+* adult: give to me, I am the strongest of the three
+* elderly: give to me, I am the wisest
+
+vivian puts a coin in the kid's bowl, nothing happens
+valon does the same for the adult bowl, nothing happens
+
+**Positive w/Door Adult**
+
+Door opens, we heard birds and stuff, step through to a different plane. Small garden
+with a giant pool. Amalgam starts entering the pool, finds a bunch of amalgam hands
+reaching out to him and stuff, while he grabs something, a disc, from the bottom. While
+that happens, the rest of the party gets attacked by a coatl, which we take care of
+after Valon opens up with 79 damage in a round
+
+Amalgam plays the disc, gets vision of constructs worshipping a runic orb, then a cut
+to the room with the door and the statues, something where discs are inserted into the
+statues. Following that the orb gets brighter, in the vision, like an explosion or
+something? Amalgam and Ironbeard think it's some kind of weapon.
+
+The tower in the vision looks like a wizard's tower from Xir'Katan, Ironbeard thinks.
+
+Xir'Katan is a big desert country
+
+### Session 11
+
+**Positive w/High Druid 5**
+
+Question of the day is how we sneak our way to out under the other pirate boat that is
+now near our boat. I can get a High Druid blessing in order to breathe underwater temporarily,
+the rest of the party doesn't need to breathe.
+
+The High Druid water breathing ritual Valon does makes it so that he can hold his breath
+for a very long period of time... good enough
+
+We all start going under the boat... Valon suddenly wants sushi
+
+Sabotaging the rudder, Amalgam and Valon screw up the rudder enough that it won't work
+when they try to use it, and swim back to Ironbeard's ship, give the signal to our
+blink dog
+
+The other pirates start shooting at us as we book it, and with the stealthy approach to the ship
+and our rudder sabotage, we make it out without any trouble, so we're on the open ocean again, but
+the giant forgeborn appears and is interested in how I got onto the ship. He recognizes my name,
+or at least my bloodline!? Something about killing two birds with one stone... He cares more about
+the amalgam units though.
+
+He tries to get the amalgam units to "meet their maker", which doesn't sound great to anyone...
+seems to not like the idea of Amalgam having free will. Then combat starts
+
+He seems strong, A1AN
+
+Ironbeard dispatches A1AN with his ghost (!?) hook hand, so we're safe for now, we take a day and
+then decide to go to an island that Yakha's book wrote the coordinates of in the book. We make land
+fall, and find that it is a dinosaur island, and the wrecked *Phoenix*, which is a famous ship
+captained by a Salamander something or another. looks like he might have been transporting a
+dinosaur, or trying to catch one?
+
+While we're checking out the ship, we notice there are other dinosaurs on the ship! a stegosaurus
+and some raptors or something
+
+We take care of the ship, which was indeed carrying dinosaurs. nothing else in the hold, but we
+check out the captain's quarters, which has a journal!
+
+* a journal
+* 50 "old looking" gp, don't recognized where they were minted
+* a lens, which makes the ship look like mint condition when Valon looks through it
+
+people look normal through the spyglass, but if I look at the island, it does seem a bit different. Maybe
+trees are shorter, that kind of thing. I can look at places in the past?
+
+if I look at where the fire on the island is, the smoke is gone, otherwise still jungle
+
+Salamander's journal keeping habits are maybe not the best, but it looks like he looking to "return
+home" to place his misscelaneous notes in his actual journal. Dinosaurs were his scheme to make
+a bunch of money, was going to make money in Ivorenska, especially with the czar, who was
+trying to look for some kind of item. Salamander had a map to whatever this item is, the czar
+had a family relic key to get the key to the treasure in his map
+
+We get to the source of the fire, clearing of burnt down trees, laying in it is a big, 20'-ish fire
+salamander or fire alligator or something? Sal Newton had a pet salamander, apparently, so it seems
+like maybe this is his pet?
+
+We come across a caved-in cave, which we blast our way into with a bunch of Vivian's fireworks.
+there's not much in the cave, but we find a skeleton with a book. Another journal, this one with
+Sal's map in it. He writes that his ship crashed from a storm, he lost control of the dinosaurs, the
+t. rex chased him into the cave, and caused the cave in trying to reach Sal, and Sal just died there,
+starved to death. His salamander, small enough at the time, was able to crawl out of the rocks to
+freedom
+
+The map's pretty good, pretty clearly lays out the Zirkatil treasure in Ivorenska
+
+As we turn to leave the cave, we see a giant salamander, on its hind legs, towering over us, like
+it's thinking about us or something. Valon hides the map. the salamander is... kind of in the way
+of the exit.
+
+It follows us, we try to get it onto the boat by making a makeshift raft, the raft kind of collapses,
+but Farley (the blink dog)'s teleport brought the salamander on board. So now we have Sal's Salamander
+for a ton of money
+
+To Ivorenska, north around the bend of the continent!
+
+### Session 11
+
+**Incremental Advance (lvl 4): +1 to 3 ability scores**
+
+**Positive w/High Druid 6**
+
+We go to the czar's castle and decide to create the cover story that Yakha is a diplomat from
+the forest, in order to get in and try to get info regarding the key. We meet a forgeborn
+named Amy inside the castle, she seems... interested in us for some reason.
+
+Anyway, the diplomacy... doesn't go all that well, but we're allowed in for now, and we start
+scoping things out and make our way to the archmange's tower. The archmage is a little girl,
+apparently, and eventually her and Amy tell us that this glowing headband is the key!?
+
+Amy has seen some sort of door that is opened by the headband, a large stone slab that has
+glyphs on it with an orb in the middle, in her vision, the wearer approaches the door and
+it lifts.
+
+There's a bunch of notes sharing and revelations, and in the end the czar thinks we can use
+our information and the map + key and subsequent treasure to kill a white dragon that's been
+a constant pain in her ass, I guess. We share resources!
+
+Also the lens a *lens of discovery*, which we can use on a recharge to look back to a specific
+point in time as we look through the lens. We head out to the dungeon, with Valon wearing
+the headband which means (at a minimum) he is the light source. Lots of murals of forgeborn
+in the long hallway that we enter. We reach the door!
+
+Katrina is the name of the little girl archmage.
+
+### Session 12
+
+**Positive w/High Druid 6, Positive w/The Adult 5**
+
+Belief from last time is that the white dragon is amassing an army of forgeborn under his
+mountain, despite also protecting the czar, so her scheme is to use the map and key to
+bring down the white dragon.
+
+We enter the first chamber and there are some ghouls and shades
+
+Stone doors throughout the dungeon open when Valon, with the headband emitting light,
+gets close to them.
+
+Puzzle with four faces in paintings, four bowls with tokens, one per each. Each bowl
+has two tokens, one black and one white:
+
+* north = arrowhead
+* east = bookmarks
+* south = cloth
+* west = coins
+
+North Painting: A man who holds a bronze arrow in one hand and a book of law in the other.
+The book has an ornate bookmark and his lips are stained black.
+ 
+East Painting: A woman stands in front of an ornate silver bookcase. In her hand she holds
+a bright red tome. In her side there is a large stab wound.
+ 
+South Painting: A woman in a black dress stands here. She has one hand behind her back and
+the other makes a quieting gesture. In her chest is a small but deep wound.
+ 
+West Painting: Standing in front of a tidy lab station is a man in formal attire. Behind him
+is a scale of bronze weighing an arrowhead against a book of secrets. On the desk there are
+vials of red, green, and black liquids. His body from the shoulders down appears to be badly
+burned.
+
+An engraving on the pillar says "some will be friends, some are foes, it is our duty to
+identify the former from the latter"
+
+#### Whispers of a Previous Age
+
+Spirits in a spooky ghost voice as we're returning to the main hall, Valon's echoes of the
+past:
+
+* darkness
+* dragon
+* corrosion
+
+#### Black Dragon Attack!
+
+As we're returning into the main hall, a black dragon strikes at us
+
+### Session 13
+
+**Positive w/High Druid 6, Positive w/The Adult 5**
+
+Pillar puzzle on the top right of the map, not yet deciphered
+
+Fire: I am not a liar. Liars must be turned face down, while the truthful remain face up.
+
+Wind: Earth and I speak the truth, it is the Water who lies.
+
+Anyway, the black dragon!
+
+we take care of the dragon, and search around. The hologram gets mad at us as we start
+going into uncompleted areas.
+
+Come across a giant egg, 6/10 lights on the egg are lit when we discover it. Has designs
+on it, embossed onto the egg
+
+We fight some shades, at the very end of the fight Amalgam gets critted and dies
+immediately! "Amalgam got smoked"
+
+We finish the combat in a fit of rage, and Vivian uses shocking grasp shock paddles
+(and a 6 with the Priestess) to ress Amalgam, just once. Phew!
+
+We get into another room with some oozes, and enough gold to put us at 3300 gp total
+for the party. (Amalgam's carrying it.)
+
+We find more pillar puzzle pillars!
+
+Earth: The Fire and Water statues both speak the truth
+
+Water: I do not know about Wind, but Fire and Earth lie
+
+We solve the puzzle and get a *girdle of resurgent justice* which we give to Amalgam
