"Fascinating" Was Andre's only reply as he took the hollow reed and pinch of the powder. "I had read several monographs about religious sects in Sri Raji and Hazlan using similar hallucinogens to facilitate contact with the spirit world, but never seen anything similar to the actual practice. At best, some jaded Dementlieuse noble using it as an excuse to get well and truly wasted, without paying any heed to the spirituality of the practice." Andre said, unable to hide the note of excitement in his voice.
"Assuming we survive all this, I would love to discuss this further with you, Venerable Tharivas." Andre said, then taking the reed, he inhaled the powder, trying to empty his mind, and not think of spiders. Which of course meant that for a little bit, all he could think of was spiders. But then thankfully, no spiders.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The elf's voice was already becoming distant, as if heard underwater, or from far away. The powder was already having its effect, entering your nostrils with a faint scent of cinnamon. The sound of the fountain flowed over you, and you eyes unfocused. It became harder and harder to make out the details of what you were seeing. Just color and light, flowing across the mind's eye.
You weren't quite sure when the tone of the colors changed from white to dull-orange, or when the sound of the bubbling fountain changed to a slow hiss of venting gas. You did realize that you were staring at the scene before you for a few minutes before your mind realized that yes, there was a mountain in front of you. The Monastery, the Ruse, all of it was gone.
Instead, you were seated in a semicircle in front of a mountain of truly epic proportions. It wasn't quite as tall as Mt. Baratak in Barovia, but it had a kind of deformed majesty all of its own. At least a full mile in height, it was a rounded oval sticking out of the sand and dirt, an ugly tumor upon the Sebuan desert.
The lumpy mountain wasn't completely bare, no. Lichen covered it in scabrous patches, and long creepers and ivy worked their way up the sides of the mountain, disappearing in the massive cracks. Rivers of noxious green-yellow acid flowed down the mountain from a massive cave at its summet, and every so often poisonous gasses vented from one of the ravines. It did not look like something pleasant to climb, not even to find a demon.
Actually... you looked up at the mountain again, a niggling little suspicion forming in the back of your head. The mountain was somewhat oddly shaped, to be sure, an irregular oval with a smaller circle on top of it, and an absolutely huge cave in the smaller sphere. You could throw the Great Cathedral of Levkarest into it and have room to spare. And the rivers of acid were coming from the cave almost like drool... and my, but all the ravines interconnect, almost like the gaps between hundred-foot-long scales... and yes, there was one part of the mountain reaching out into the distance, almost like a tail... and my, but those ridges might almost be arms...
You had found Ronoph. And stabbing it in the heart with the keris might be a bit tricky.
It occured to you that Tharivas didn't specify what kind of luck he was wishing you.

Andre looked around his surroundings with the sort of wide mouthed wonder and awe one usually saw on the face of tourists, a rather out of place look for the scholar, really. That awe quickly however, gave way to something far more worrying.
"Tharivas..may be one of Ronoph's cultists made to work for the abbot." He said simply, looking towards the fiendish mountain. "How that impacts our mission..I can't really say." He stretched a bit, looking at the mountain again. Why climb the mountain?
Because it's there.
Andre didn't seem to be all that eager to set out for it at the moment though, instead concentrating, as if he was looking at something not quite HERE...but at a point beyond the place his eyes were supposed to be focusing on. It was odd, but then again, it was Andre.

[OOC: The rules of the Nightmare Realm are a bit... fluid. A Wisdom check can alter things. Unless you are attempting something particularly large, an attempt takes one minute, and you can make as many attempts as you like.
It takes a DC 15 Wisdom to do something simple or small, such as crafting raw materials like a block of wood or something very simple like a wooden staff.
It takes a DC 20 Wisdom check to do something more elaborate, like create a rope, a particular kind of wood, a grappling hook, or most weapons (a sword, say, but not a crossbow)
It takes a DC 25 Wisdom check to do something even more elaborate, such as creating a masterwork weapon, a crossbow, a very simple clock, etc...
It takes a DC 30 Wisdom check to do something that borders on the truly supernatural, such as creating a magical weapon or an elaborate Lamordian pocket watch.
All such creations begin to degrade after 4d6 hours, turning back into dreamstuff. Any attempts to alter an opposing will (such as that of a Dreamspawn), is made as an opposed Wisdom check.
Any attempts to alter Ronoph fail automatically.]

Otto shook his head briefly as if to clear the fuzziness out--then realized that, as he was immersed in the collective unconscious, he was more technically shaking a mental projection of his head while inside his own head--after which his train of thought began to get recursive in a hurry. It was really a confusing situation.
Regardless, the gesture did rather little to distract from the immense, terrifying colossus directly in front of him.
...
Maybe if I...
...
...No, it's definitely still there.
The gunsmith casts a glance at Charles. "Er...unless the heart is being quite closely to the surface... Er. ...It is a rather short dagger. Otherwise."

Lia does not say anything about the mountainous demon at first; rather, she takes a step back and starts to mutter protective spells, making elaborate passes in the air around her body. There is a brief shimmer, a flurry of shadows, and then the Wizard turns back to her comrades.
"Well," she says, "we might as well walk around it a bit, see whether there's a more easily accessible route to where we suspect the heart to be, yes? And incidentally, this might be a good time to raise what long-lasting protections we have, before the natives realize that we are here."

???? ??th, ???, ?:?? PM; Day 122 of the Menetnashte Expedition
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you actually got used to understanding just what kind of colossus you were dealing with, it became a bit simpler to understand just what Ronoph was. Well, aside from extremely large and rather unappealing to look like.
The dreaming demon was somewhat insectile in shape, assuming insects grew a few thousand feet in height, and covered in minute scales (relatively speaking). Humanoid in shape, its head was something like an ant's, with broad mandibles streaming acid-green ichor down its sides. The venomous maw was open, and somewhere inside, presumably, was the creature's heart.
And interestingly, not a Dreamspawn in sight.
Alright! Going to try something novel here, to wit, Skill Challenges! Whether or not this succeeds or fails horrifically is another question, but we'll give it a try. If you know how they work in 4E, you can skip over much of the next paragraph.
Basically, how this will work. You need to make a total of twelve skill checks to find the Heart of Ronoph, making one check per round. Each round is equivalent to about two hours or so of travel, and we're effectively on combat time, that is, I update once a day, every day. Unlike most Skill Challenges, you can't actually fail the skill challenge... but for every failed check beyond three (that is, starting with the fourth failure), I'll make the eventual climax of the Book a bit... trickier. :twisted:
Skills you can use, the DCs, the results, and how well:
-Climb DC 25: You have climbed up a lot of Ronoph. You can get as many successes with this skill as possible.
-Survival DC 25: You find a better path through, perhaps avoiding some gas vents, or managing to get across a river of acid that would otherwise slow you down. You can get as many successes with this skill as possible.
-Knowledge (Arcana) DC 25: You get a slightly better idea of where to actually find the heart on a giant daemon. You can only get two successes with this skill.
-Use Rope DC 20: You fashion a grappling hook and some knotted rope to help the slower members up faster. You can only get two successes with this skill.
-Heal DC 25: You get a slightly better idea of where to actually find the heart on a giant daemon. You can only get one success with this skill.
-Search DC 25: You manage to spot a gas vent in time to avoid it. You can only get one success with this skill.
-Craft (Stoneworking) DC 15: You get a mildly better idea of what mountain climbing is like. You can only get one success with this skill.
If you don't have anything overwhelmingly good, you can always Aid Another on a skill check if you make a DC 10.
Lastly, certain spells or abilities might be expended in exchange for an automatic success. So, for example, someone burning up a Fly spell can ferry people up, and thus automatically get one success (this counts as your action for the round). Particularly powerful or appopriate spells or abilities may count as multiple successes. Just check with me first and make your case why this spell or ability would help demon-climbing.
I encourage people to take the above little blurbs and expand them, or else think of new ideas. This is your chance to show off how good your character is, and I shall be watching with an eye towards Bonus XP.
Questions, comments, observations or lamentations?

Kuzan uttered his own protective magics and then looked up over the mountain of demon before them.
"If I were a demon," he mused, "my heart would probably be right about...there." He pointed up toward the mountain, then glanced at the others.
"I've got rope," he said as he fished it from his pack, "Anyone else?"
Kuzan has a Climb check of +9 and Survival of +13. He can also climb at his speed, which makes him extremely nimble and therefore only needs a DC 15 to make a Climb success. If anyone wants to aid that route, let me know.
Oh yeah, got the Heal check covered, btw. *pats his 30*

Andre looked around, peering at the mountain. He then did a very strange thing, licking a fingertip and holding it up, as if trying to feel the breeze...except what he was trying to feel wasn't anything even remotely similar to the breeze.
"Lia, Otto..this would be maybe second year studies. Specifically, Giacamo Foretti's treatise on energy flows and the sensations they produce. I know, horribly dry tome, but right now important. Disruption of energy meridians due to a foreign energy source. I can't remember for the life of me if the disruption is supposed to be more tingling, or throbbing closer to the focal point." Andre kept moving his finger, as if remembering this fact was vital.
"Because if either of you can remember that, with what Kuzan said likely based on biology, I THINK by following the feel of the energy pattern, we can probably cut down travel time to that point by following along the naturally occurring meridians. Or I could be rambling due to the fact that we've all inhaled some strange hallucinogen. Either way."
Andre grinned, though it might not have been the most reassuring of things to do, it was a confident grin.
OOC:23 on a Knowledge Arcana. One of the other arcanely minded people toss me an aid another, if you'd be so kind? Also, Andre's got a +16 search, and an untrained +5 to survival for later rounds of the challenge

"Er, right, M'sieur Schultheiss. I suppose it would be too much to hope for that a pinprick in the general direction of the heart would be enough." Turning back to the mountainous demon (demonic mountain?) Charles stares upward.
"Well."
Charles is getting a crick in his neck from staring (in vain) up the side of the mountain, trying to imagine how to get from here to there--there being the general location pointed out by Kuzan. "I have no idea how to go about this," he says, more to himself than anyone else.
Lamentations here. You'd think with 156 skill points to splash around that I would have more than one pertinent skill for a skill challenge.
Alas! It is not the case. I've got a +13 Search, so I can chip in on Aid Another for that.

A small cloud of dust arises as Khalil throws an unfeasibly large coil of rope at Kuzan's feet. "It is always best to come prepared, yes?"
Standing back he shields his eyes and scans the route ahead.
[OOC: ok well Khalil can take survival (+18 ) and he's also rocking a +9 on climb, oh and a healthy +13 on search so he's good for doing the roll or aiding another on those two, he also has a minute amount of use rope so again happy to have a go at aiding another on that one.]
Haviong said all that I just got a 1 on the survival roll
for a total of 19 anyone want to aid another?"I had a dream, which was not all a dream.

"Do you think we could make a traverse along...uh...the ridge there? Perhaps making some use of the ear?" Charles says to Khalil, pointing. "That looks like it would be easier than trying to pull ourselves straight up over the chin."
Aid Another on a survival check for mapping out our route gets a 16. Charles has no modifier, but, luckily, he didn't need one! So that's a +2 on your check, lostboy.

Lia snorts when Andre quotes the Foretti tome. "I've never bothered much with the man," she says, lifting her own hand without licking as much as a fingertip -- not that licking one would be at all useful, with those gloves she wears -- and just waves it in the air a bit, seemingly at random. And then ... "There," Lia announces, abruptly pointing at a certain spot on the mountainous demon. "Tingling and throbbing aside, I can always tell the vectors of an energy meridian. The inbound vector is heading that way."
(OOC: Aid another on Andre's check: Knowledge (Arcana) 23. What are the odds, huh?)
(OOC: Aid another on Andre's check: Knowledge (Arcana) 23. What are the odds, huh?)
A slightly annoyed look briefly flickers on Khalil's face but quickly melts as he realises that yes Charles is telling him how to do his own businesses, but curse the man he has a point!
"Indeed I think you may be right monsieur" he murmurs squinting again at the mountain in front of them. "But the route is too diffiucult to gauge form this vantage, we should move closer and assess the situation as we go, unless of course anyone else has any insights?" He adds looking at the rest.
[OOC: ok thats 21 on survival (cheers Nathan) so if any wants to aid we need two more people, otherwise we chalk it down to experience and play dodge the acid river....
