When last we met our heroes the sallied forward, hangovers raging, to the Last Serai.
A little over a week later they saw it - a metallic stepped tower, glowing a coppery green by night. Closing in they found three buildings - the great tower the Harmonium of the Porcelain Princes, the second the final embassy if the spectrum satraps, the third the last trading house of the Violet City. In the distance, the Ignored Tower stood ominously.
The heroes secured lodgings in the trading house and an audience with the chief of the Rainbow mission, a pure white fluffy cat named Pooki. Delivering their precious cargo of cat coffee the heroes learned that Pooki wanted one last big deal to return to the Violet City. Would the heroes be prepared to steal great prismatic crystals from the satraps for her?
Mulling on this the heroes headed to the Giving Cow, the local milk bar run by Zuna Namelost. Supping their biomantically modified udder beast milk they had three encounters:
1) Drunk traders from the orange and yellow land led by Mila Yaga who let slip that they had a map of secret ways through the Spectrum Crossing.
2) a mind-burned vome-infected thief that wanted the map for The Original Jane.
3) none other than Lady Satrasco who, fleeing debt collectors, was heading to the Black City to acquire a *Null Object Of Desire*.
After some reticence, Lady Satrasco accepted her countdom from Mint, but was not dissuaded from her quest and Midori declined to help the vome thief.
Somewhat high on high lactose beverages but with improved intestinal microflora, had some difficulty finding their lodgings and ended up in a store room with boxes floor to ceiling of potatoes and light bulbs, behind which they found an ancient sarcophagus containing cryo-dehydrated abmortal remains that Laurel recognised as King Elre the Dreaming - a legend from her native Moon mountains. The tale went that Elre voyaged to future to warn his descendents of a great danger. The heroes decided to rehydrate the King and find out what was up!
While the others proposed various hairbrained schemes to move the huge sarcophagus, Midori scouted ahead to find their actual rooms. On her way back to the storeroom she was ambushed by the vomish thief who was incensed that she would not help with his plan. Barely escaping, Midori rejoined the others and after some back breaking effort they secured the sarcophagus.
The next day the heroes made an appointment with Angel 22-Unity to discuss the purchase of some batteries. They also visited to Final Embassy where they met with Satrap 13 'Ahab' and purchased purified water for their dessicated king.
Join us tonight for the next thrilling installment of the Ultraviolet Grasslands. Will the heroes take up Pooki's quest? Will they revive the long entombed king of the moon mountains? Will the vome thief strike again? And what other wonders and horrors lurk in the Last Serai?!
