Post-Roogna Plans/Info Recap

[irishmagician]

Hey all,

I need to know what y'all want to do after leaving Castle Roogna. The party is aware of the following information:

1. The Castle was attacked by monsters and a green/black flaming tentacle monster.
2. The party was attacked by a goblin-esque monster that sounded mysteriously like Mrs. O'Donough from the mansion.
3. The party is recruiting the various major races in Xanth to combat the influx of monsters/baddies coming through the Rift.
4. The prophecy you were given:

"The six shall find the exiled ghost,
To find the way that has been lost.
She goes forth to achieve her dark desire,
He goes forth to spread deadly fire.
Use your power to clear the way,
And gather the Six to bring you aid:
Those who rule from Castle old,
Those who fly and gather gold,
Those who dig deep beneath the Earth,
Those of mighty strength and girth,
Those who live in hill and tree,
And those forever from death are free.
Defeat those who do not belong,
And remember the last words of this song:
The way that was opened must be bound,
By the one the way had found."

I will need to know what the party plans to do next before the start of the next session. Feel free to discuss in this thread and post questions (I'll answer if I can).

Well, As i do not recall distance, I would say we go to the closest group of people from who we need support. Radiating out to the next closest and so on seems the most practical from a travel standpoint.

Zach, that sounds way to sensible



That should probably work.

Hmm, but does the party know who the groups are? Muhahaha...

(hint: use the riddle and the map posted under "race list/xanth map thread")

my vote is going to the island where my kind is from to help me track down what my talent is and how to use it. or pick a random direction and go with it. do we have leads on the things that attacked the castle?

[helldracul]

well, going by classic stereotypes for races and creatures, and what I see...

Those who rule from Castle old - ...
Those who fly and gather gold - Dragons (north above the gap)
Those who dig deep beneath the Earth - tempted to say goblins here
Those of mighty strength and girth - Is there a group of Ogres at Lake Ogre-Chobee
Those who live in hill and tree - Elves (north of the gap)
And those forever from death are free - maybe I got this and the one above confused.

In this setting, elves actually only have slightly longer lifespans than humans; they are far from being the typical 500 yr+ elvish trend.
