| The party set off to progressively align the 8 vertices all of which twist the jade reality around them in murderous and baffling ways. Still by dint of arms and wit the party manage to align them all (only trapping one in statis along the way). This all goes remarkably well except for Karlos eating his own corpse and so trapping himself in a jade golem that can't leave Vulstragoorn's universe. | The party set off to progressively align the 8 vertices all of which twist the jade reality around them in murderous and baffling ways.

| - | The next step is to cut Vulstragoorn off from reality, he's got some handy ancient magics to do this, but is pretty confident that, given they'll be the realities being cut, its really going to annoy the dragons. His prediction proves prescient as manifestations of all five show up to attempt to stop the process. The fight is brutal and though the party just manage to rip Vulstragoorn from the maws of the draconic entitles, sadly Annabelle is killed. Luckily Karlos has the power to transfer her soul to a new body and Hugh can create new bodies indistinguishable from normal humans...so it is doubly confusing when he decides to make a swan's body instead. | + | The next step is to cut Vulstragoorn off from reality, he's got some handy ancient magics to do this, but is pretty confident that, given they'll be the realities being cut, its really going to annoy the dragons.

| - | The party, including the now resurrected Swannabelle, now help Vulstragoorn with the final stage of his plan. Aided by the knowledge of the canvas of creation taught to him by Hugh, Vulstragoorn reshapes the potential within himself dissolving away much of his domain so that he can create an internal equilibrium of potential. By defeating Vulstragoorn's subconscious, which thinks this whole plan is bonkers, the party complete the process. | + | The party, including the now resurrected Swanabel, now help Vulstragoorn with the final stage of his plan.

| Vulstragoorn's demi-plane begins to dissolve, implode, explode and replode simultaneously as he shouts to the party to flee down the narrow umbilicus to their world before it is broken. With reality folding in around them the party cheese it, though on his way out Karlos consumes the umbilicus to try and preserve his jade form outside Vulstragoorn's domain. With a final leap they are blasted back into the world in the tower of the college of the stars. Looking behind them they see Vulstragoorn's reality folding into itself and hear a final cry of; 'Good Job, I think I've got the hang of...', Before space and time implode and all evidence of the jade puzzle-box vanishes. Either they succeeded or Vulstragoorn has been utterly destroyed. His apprentice reassures them that Strumby's Uncertainty Conjecture means there is absolutely no way to know, so best to look on the bright side. | Vulstragoorn's demi-plane begins to dissolve, implode, explode and replode simultaneously as he shouts to the party to flee down the narrow umbilicus to their world before it is broken.

| Before splitting up, Karlos helps Hugh with his inconvenient curse, literally cutting it out of him and then force-feeding it back to him. This seems to work, the only reminder of his curse being that Hugh's lips have turned jet black. | Before splitting up, Karlos helps Hugh with his inconvenient curse, literally cutting it out of him and then force-feeding it back to him.

| - | {{tag>"cube 3 - wizard-cube zero" adventure}} | + | ===== Snackies and Wibble ===== |
| + | |||
| + | ====Karlos==== | ||
| + | * Having read Hugh's mind is theoretically aware of the insight gained from the Canvas of Creation Epic tree. | ||
| + | * In place of a monetary reward: Vulstragoorn's library. Can be added to his arcane library to decrease the mana cost of rituals by a further 1. Technically using these tomes he might be able to recreate what Vulstragoorn did to turn himself into a universe...but the risks in a post-stasis world would be extreme. | ||
| + | * Having consumed and become a fraction of the Jade reality Karlos now finds himself to be a tiny jade man piloting a six-armed jade Golem that is his body...its a bit disconcerting. The little jade man is his soul, which now exists as a physical entity (and could feasibly be extracted with brain surgery skills). Magics that transfer the soul will allow the little jade man to hop to another form: though that one will turn to jade after a few minutes of him inhabiting it. Mechanically his body now counts a golem. This golem has the non-human trait of Inorganic. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Hugh==== | ||
| + | * 333.333333333 riel richer, spends it on a boat. | ||
| + | * Black lips but no longer cursed to be unable to keep secrets | ||
| + | * Booktorch tells Hugh that he's an elemental as a child of elementals, and Hugh determines this is why Triskelion is cool with him since he's not human. The torch does whatever the torch wants to do. Probably for Dan to decide. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Swanabel==== | ||
| + | * 333.333333333 riel richer | ||
| + | * A swan - Gains non-human trait of No Hands. However her beak counts as a master-crafted dagger (mechanically can use all weapon skills), she gains 2 Wound 60 calls/adventure that can only be used against arms, she can also fly (OC flap your arms. While you do you are immune to all calls that are not from an arrow/ranged/mass source, but cannot use any skills yourself due to the effort.) | ||
