Hello,
Vous voici enfin dans le vif du sujet: Egg of the Phoenix.
La recherche de l'oeuf commence ce vendredi avec Marc qui sera présent.
"On an island far from here, off the west coast, there rested an artifact of great power called the Egg of the Phoenix. It's not really an egg — the legendary phoenix lays but one egg from which it is immediately reborn — but rather, an egg-shaped black object about 3 feet long and 2 feet
wide. For centuries it rested in its primal nest, a huge black stone device, buried deep beneath a shrine known as the Fane of the Egg.
About a month ago, while you were on another mission at our request, the Egg disappeared; or more correctly, it was stolen and its guardian slain. It appears that the threat to the silver dragons was an elaborate ruse. In saving our ally Falx, we have lost the Egg, the golden dragon Eldaran, and quite possibly all New Empyrea.
"We do not know who took the egg, but we believe that someone in our trust made it possible. In the past weeks we have plied our gods with questions, scried through crystals and spent dusty hours amongst the manuscripts of a dozen libraries and although we still do not know how it was taken, we know where it is — on the Negative Material Plane whence all evil comes, or more properly in a tiny 'pocket plane' next to it known as Sepulchre. Please excuse my inadequate description; other planes and times are hard to explain in our tongue. "It now rests there, in a place like this."
Karolin's hands moved under the table and the room darkened. Abruptly a vision appeared, of a huge bird bathed in fire. Around it, an endless graveyard stretched in all directions. Under it —horribly, inescapably, directly under the infernal creature — sat a large black egg.
"This is your destination, gentlefolk," spoke Karolin again. "At first, we believed they had found a phoenix to guard the Egg — an ironic touch. Instead they have something we know less of: a firebird — a titanic beast from the Plane of Elemental Fire.
"To reach Sepulchre, you must find a working gate between planes. The ruins of such a structure exist at the mountain's summit. Vague legends lead us to believe that the crypts and mystic caves on the mountain above will lead to a time when that gate still existed. Even then, we do not know how to enter our forebears' tombs safely; the secret has been lost. If you still wish to undertake this task for us, we welcome your service and can discuss
rewards that you may find more than adequate. Outfit yourselves for a long and dangerous quest; our shops and powers are at your disposal."
