Numenera 3-3-24

  • Looking for how the kingdom can expand in the Beyond.
  • Looking for a base of operations for now.
  • 150 people are a part of this expedition in Rahul's Den.
  • A week has passed and we are traveling with the party.
  • Titus, the commander of Rattler unit.
  • Aada, the boa commander, she is a nano. She has a grass monkey called Spot on her shoulder.
  • Jessy, cobra commander.
  • Logan, eastern hognose commander, a total tool.

Jessy Firdous

  • GM intrusion if Logan has a 1 OR a 2.
  • GM intrusion!: Jessy slams Logan against the wall. She threatens him and then storms out.
  • Jessy Firdous goes into my book of grudges.

Melodiscape

  • Logan volunteers us, as leader of the hognoses, to head to a towering obelisk first, then further east.
  • We are riding dog fur, with elephant noses. They are Northern Chauggneus (pronounced hognoses).
  • We come across a watering hole, but the water is purple and solid despite flowing.
  • Tadej breaks some of the ice-like pieces and tries to melt them in a pot like water. It begins to glow.
  • Logan thinks it is some sort of material that takes the shape and properties of what it is placed into.
  • We have discovered "the solid lake."
  • We get one point of XP. Tadej levels up.
  • We continue to travel and come across a massive tower - the Melodiscape. Sleek metallic surface, it hums with a faint melody. It has intricate glyphs carved on it. Lights pulsate on it.
  • A shimmering energy emanates from it. Logan recognizes that the beat of the music matches the glow of the glyphs.
  • Tadej ties up the hognoses to a nearby tree.
  • As we break the energy barrier around it, the music swells and the whole body feels it.
  • A spiraling stairwell goes upward. Musical instruments are on the wall and even turn to face.
  • There are rooms on the ground floor, looks like concessions, empty storage.
  • No stairs heading downward. We begin to climb upward. There is a floral element to the stairs. They begin to grow as we climb.
  • There is a grand chamber on the second floor. We look out a window and it looks like we are a mile in the air. The music is much louder now, hard to talk to each other.
  • There are seats and booths but no stage.
  • GM intrusion: we listen to the music.
  • We look outside and it is night time. We notice a plate of food near us that suddenly appeared.
  • I attempt to track what or who put this food here. We follow it to the flowered walls and footsteps end there.
  • As I inspect the wall, the flowers part to reveal a figure. A porcelain-like figure, covered in roses and blue tinted. Lilyastra is her name.
  • She greets Tadej and Logan, and says she put the food there.
  • We ask her a lot of questions. The music has been playing for 6 billion years. She says she has other staff.
  • Logan fails a test and it is a GM intrusion.
  • Logan uses his headband and it shows we were in a trance-like state for about 6 hours.
  • The next day, I go back in to try and pull an instrument off the wall since we feel sickly without it.
  • I fail to pull an instrument off the wall, but explore to find more locations.
  • I am found by Lilyastra. She doesn't mind that I take an instrument, she offers a Slugelheim. An accordion and bagpipe combo.
  • We leave with the instrument and head east again.
