				Two days since take-off. The airs have been relatively calm. You've only had yourselves and the entertainment that Fargold provides to keep yourselves busy. The food provided is good and apart from culture shock, you mostly won't have issues. Fargold has been as accommodating as possible. But it would be upon that 3rd day, that you'd all get woken up early. "Captain! We see something! An Island!"<br><br>Upon coming up deck. Looming over the distance is indeed land. But a spyglass or something is required to look it in more depth. Fargold and his crew member will be uptop. Fargold looking through a spyglass. He'll have a displeased look upon his face. A sigh.<br><br><hr><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/GYvAXj8.jpg)</div><strong>Fargold Heathfire</strong><br>Elven Male Gunslinger<br><br><strong>Current active effects</strong>:&nbsp; None<br><strong>Tag:</strong> Airship deck.<br><hr><br>Upon seeing everyone (or someone) coming topside. He'll give a deadpan stare to them. Lowering the spyglass and turning to them. "I had wished... Deep down... That I was wrong. I truly did. The radical idea that there is some forth super power that is playing all the other countries like a fiddle... It sounds like a madman's conspiracy. The answer would've been simpler if I was wrong. The implications wouldn't be too daunting. But this? I'm not happy to be correct." He'll offer the spyglass to any who want to use it.<br><br>A breath. "Friends... Thanks for believing in my gut instinct. Thanks for your assistance once more upon this matter."<br><br><br><hr><br><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/0Faa7de.jpg)</div>Through the spyglass, you'll be able to make out what seems to be a massive alive. By the gods, it is sizable enough to match the biggest Ritus Alliance city-state. The more you look upon it, the more daunting the aspect of exploring or even quelling the forces on this island becomes. The more closer the airship looms, the more you can make out through the spyglass.<br><br>This island seems to have amalgamated together different climates somehow. The first thing that'll strike anyone's fancy is the crystallized forest. This looks like a dense forest but all of the trees and vines were crystallized or replaced by corals with hanging seaweed. There is even a giant tree that reaches far past what the other trees do. A town could easily be made within that tree alone. But it too seems to be crystallized. A suggestion that this island must've been submerged. But as you look on, other things do not follow the same idea. A dry mountaintop that looks barren of moisture lays to the south, and a desert to the southwest. There is a tundra and icy filled area to the northwest. <br><br>But the most striking thing... Is the castle in the middle of all of it. Pristine, Dark, Massive. This was either made recently, or preserved by some serious magic that would have to encompass the whole thing. Suddenly, your small entourage appears to be woefully insufficient for all of this. If this place indeed the source of the invasions.

However she was uncharacteristically quick to her feet when the shout came down that they had spotted the island they had been searching for. Still in her nightgown the princess rushed above deck, having managed to overcome her fears well enough to at least walk in a straight line without assistance, "What is it? Is it the island we're looking fo..." she started to ask excitedly, though seeing the look on Fargold's face stopped her dead in her tracks. It seemed his suspicions had been right after all...though that was hardly anything to be happy about she realized. <br><br>"Well...I mean...this is good right? We can actually deal with the problem now..." Ophelia said, walking up to the elf and taking the offered spyglass, turning it to the far off island, "I'm sure it can't be that ba-oh....oh..." she muttered, stomach flipping and knees wobblying a bit, quietly handing back the spyglass and leaning against the railing to steady herself. She could feel her ancestor's voice in the back of her mind, <em>"...mistake..."</em> he muttered plainly, referring to them coming here. All this time Ophelia had done nothing but feel small and inconsequential, and the shear massiveness of the daunting island before them only hammered that point in deeper, a rusty nail pinning through whatever confidence she had built over the past few days. Turning her back to the railing Ophelia would slide down to a seated position and hug her legs to her chest, still trying to comprehend the scale of what laid before them and how they were supposed to even cross it let alone defeat whatever mastermind resided there, "So...." she murmured softly, "...what's the plan then?"

She knew had a lot of background knowledge and was intended to study this island, but looks like Ophelia got her hands first on the spyglass. As much as she wanted to snatch it for herself, she decided against it. Not after all the entertainment Ember got from her. A relationship built on respect is much stronger, and if they end up fighting shoulder to shoulder, It will be crucial, they can trust one another. This meant she just waited her turn. "This forest looks interesting. I can wait to get a sample of it" She said even fore she had a closer look take a closer look.<br><br>When She was handed the spyglass both her and Ember had a looked at this island. This was truly a magnificent side. If only other party members could pierce into their telepathic communication with their ears. They were geeking out about spell structure, arcane formulas and terraforming design. "What a masterpiece. Too bad it's being used for evil" Lexara said, a single tear escaped her eyes. She was moved, this magic was like fine art and engineering marvel.<br><br>After taking a moment to collect themselves glass passed the spyglass to the next person interested. "This is the work of a powerful wizard. We will need to be stealthy. Do some recognisance and find a weak point. Definitely no chance we could win in outright confirmation. This island looks like it was raised from underwater. Firest froze in time by crystalizing. I'm not sure if was grown underwater and raise or taken from somewhere else. Is even possible to grow tree underwater? Either way, the rest is new. You know the little orbs I can make, with power like that, I would stretch one across enier town, in a line that is." Lexara explained the observations of the duo.&nbsp; "I hope you understand, this means you all have to be really careful. Don't to fuck up, get for face blasted off with magic ray and corpses ruminated, so be fucking careful."

I agree with your assessment though Lexara. We aren't assaulting the castle. We just need information."<br><br>Though a more cautious glance to Ophelia. A very strong sense of guilt. He effectively dragged her out here, afterall. "Ophellia?" He'll ask concerned. "You heard all that right? You think bringing home some of those crystalized ferns or other forms of proof would get Avredo back on track? Can your family do anything with it?" He'll offer a hand. It pained him to see Ophellia on the floor like that.

Even if we stay on the island, we won't be able to communicate when it moves. Furthermore, if it goes underwater, we are doomed. Man who created it, can blow us away with a single spell and I can't guarantee, this island will have enough food to sustain us. This is a lot of risk for nearly no gain." Lexara explained. In the middle of her replay, her eyes sparkled with arcane energy. She just realized there is one more trick she could employ. A simple cantrip could tell her a lot about the power of the mage behind it, so she cast, detects magic.

When both Fargold and Amalea offered a hand she looked up at them with a sheepish smile, taking each of their hands with one of her own and letting them help pull her up to her feet, "Thanks" she said softly, giving Amalea's hand a gentle squeeze, before turning her attention to their captain, "I can't say for sure. To be honest...perhaps I simply don't know what I'm talking about, but I don't see how taking samples of the trees and what not would help our case at all. If the powers of the world all think each other the cause of this, and are on the verge of declaring war, then why would a few pieces of crystallized tree give them a change of heart?" she asked, wondering if she was just being ignorant or not, but it didn't really make sense to her, "I mean it is strange yes, but I don't see how you could convince someone that it was even remotely connected to the zombie plague, let alone proper evidence to warrant granting official aid. Even if we brought back an actual zombie that still wouldn't prove anything, we could have found it anywhere. It's beyond a stretch of the imagination to believe that the source of the invasion is some magic island out in the middle of the ocean. What could we even show them that couldn't be easily dismissed as unrelated? Or worse an attempt at subterfuge on our part?" she asked, shrinking in on herself as she spoke, not wanting to feel like she was the only one trying to shut down the plan, "well...like I said it's not like I'm an expert on these things, so I'm probably over thinking it, my apologies..." she murmured, releasing Amalea and Fargold's hands, only now realizing that she had been still holding them the entire time, "whatever the plan is, I suppose I should go prepare if we're going to touch down..." she said, turning and making her way below deck, almost fleeing, so that she could start to don her armor.

After all, the best thing about knowledge was sharing it with others. "First of, with a sample, I could more testing, maybe even replicate the spell. Given, this is a mostly selfish reason. Second thing is that, if this is a new invention, it will be a great way to back up your claims. After all, technology doesn't come from nowhere and most scientists would claim all the credit for themselves. On top of that, having a piece of something makes scratching easier, with a right spell you could sens magic and this island it aura preserving dead bodires" Lexara folded her any tool into gems cutting clamps. She didn't need to prepare. Rather than wearing armour, she used agile manoeuvres and her only weapon was magic and whip she always has at her side. Similarly with ember, except she didn't have weapons or magic, jut her body.

				As everyone prepares and the airship lowers to a clearing beside the forest's western edge. Those perceptive enough (anyone with atleast a +5) would notice that their arrival had not gone unnoticed. There was a lone figure who was walking from the forest towards them. A dainty feminine shaped light blue/purple-skinned woman.<br><br><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/ab6fmRH.jpg)</div>As the airship cully landed, she continued her way towards the ship. But there was a degree of elegance to her walk that would make her stand out from a random corpse. Stopping about 50ft away from the airship, she'd wait. Wether she's waiting to be approached, or sizing yous up... Is unknown. <br><br>But down on the ground, you can make out more of her. She wears a tattered purple robe. She's quite rather lacking any garments otherwise. Standing at about 5'8. Looking like an undead human. She has sizable C cups and a decent pair of hips. Her hair is short and white, but covered by the hood.<br><br>(Kn. Religion to figure out more)<br><br>Otherwise. The ground is mossy and slippery. But it's also slightly jagged, as if you were walking on a gravel road bare-footed. The ground composed of crysralized dirt and grass. With moss ontop. (They counteract each other so it's consider normal terrian)

Her brows furrowed beneath her helm, and the princess would step out in front of Lexara and Amelia protectively, making herself a wall between them even as Lexara attempted to speak with the strange woman, "you shan't be holding anyone specter" Ophelia said firmly, doing her best to sound calm and measured. However this was the first undead she had actually seen in person, Oberon aside, and it was hard not to be a little nervous. The fact that this woman appeared so...'human', somehow made her even more unsettling, <em>"brace"</em> her ancestor muttered in her mind, Ophelia nodding as she silently cast a spell to bolster her willpower. As the others spoke she would do the same to them as well, gently touching both Amalea and Lexara's arms, seemingly just a gesture of protectiveness and concern, to silently cast it upon them.

Also as the conversation stretched on she would continue silently bolstering everyone with her spells. <br><br>Her brows furrowed as the litch admitted to being some ancient conqueror. She felt a tingle in the back of her head, a simmer of anger from her phantom companion. Though it felt less like fury and more like...jealousy? Obviously her predecessor hadn't enjoyed such a full and successful reign as this woman, and hadn't had the luxury of retiring on top. Ophelia was a bit taken aback when the litch suddenly turned her attention to her, "eh?" she remarked, cocking her head and pointing at herself as if to question if the undead woman was really refering to her, "Uh..well...alright then spirit" she said, once again getting the litch's classification wrong, "If you're not controlling the undead, then do you know who is? Hordes of undead have attacked all three nations in significant number. No doubt someone is controlling them. Are you aware of any presence on this island with power capable of such a feat? Aside from yourself..." she asked, trying to get to the heart of the matter. <br>

"I am as close to the answer now, as I was before I slept. That is to say I don't know. Many things must be considered. Newer things learned."<br><br>Then to Enber. A smile on her lips, she'll kneel again. Leaning her head forward to be on level with Enber. "I'm curious if you have ulterior motives to your 'wanting to inspect' me in such a way. Test my reactions, and inspect the body. It sounds an awful lot like the ways that men had desired for me. If you're curious, it was the one thing I didn't give up, even in undeath." She's starting to get even a little sensual despite her cold, factual tone. "Unfournately, you'd need to study my phlactery to know all the effects in earnest. And I'll pass on showing you that. Though I've no reason to lie to yous, and I feel you'll understand that soon. So I can just 'list' the effects in which I've done. But if you still feel like 'inspecting' me, I might have to ask for something in return."<br><br>Now she'll look to Ophelia. A blink would be all she gets in terms of mis-classifying her again. But she'll lean up, staying on her knees still. "I do not. And I am not aware. Any of my undead creations are unintelligent. I've created undeath and retained intelligence for some time. They almost always have tried to rebel on me, and I grew bored of trying."<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Sense Motive 22, Ophellia, Lexara, And Enber pass</div><div class="spoiler_body">She has a slight pause.

Now, if nothing is done, I would guess your army will take over the world once again, then you will be at the mercy on this unknown person. On the other hand, should three kingdomes win, odds are you will be destroyed without a second thought. After all, the undead is generally considered to be nothing but evil. Therefore I got an offer: join us, together we will contain your army, stop whoever stole your undead and assure your existence continues" Lexara made an offer. Ready to work with this strange Lich, but also cirus how it will react.

He could not have been off the ship faster. His natural need for cover and his inquisitive nature put him in the crystal forests edge as the lich had walked out to approach everyone. He had frozen, his need to be in reach if they needed him warred with his need to get the hell away from the airship. He had no desire to close the distance with the freaky chick in purple and black. He chose to sit and watch. Well away from their interactions he watched and thought of ways he could assist, but mostly he watched for approaching reinforcements. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Slipping slowly into a seated position, he laid low, he wasn't sure if he was known, but then he wasn't trying to be a threat, he was staying out of the way. They would talk and die, then he would decide what next. He shuddered at the thought of the airship ride back. Perhaps something great would happen and he would die before they had to return, that would at least save him the embarrassment and ordeal. These pleasant ideas comforted Rat as he listened. <br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Stealth <br>1d20+9<br>12+9 = 21<br>Perception<br>1d20+14<br>19+14 = 33</div></div>
