Campaigns/Beta 6-26-19/Crex's Mountain

The Party (Ogg, Leaf, Stamos, Acablot, Mage) finds themselves at the site of a thawed glacier, and stumbles away down an old permafrost road. They find the klumbletown, full of blue/purple people, who are preparing for the arrival of Crex, feastival (says feast-ival out loud) style.

Whole town worships the fucking dragon, didn't even know the gate was there, just a melty glacier.

NPC of the resistance leads party from the main road, asks if they heard from Jubjubville

NPC doesn't have coords, but has detailed locational data

..everyone suddenly pretended its not a real place after Crex's inspection a few years ago.

Beta: 3 days from Jubjubville, under glacier, teleports party to jubjubville.... and is technically in the past, very recently after the inspection.. jubs is fucking rekt though, dragon destroyed everything.

Hidden in the rubble, beneath canvas and other nonflamable electrical+thermal insulators, lies a Staff of Elemental Field [Fire], and the party searches the town and also makes a tiny half brick sentient to gain insights.

Party uses the staff to get thru the glacier and into the Gate... Use of the staff also triggers global warming...

Back to Alpha: POST JUB

After an evening polluting the tribute and preparing the preparations, Crex arrives at the village the next mining. Says things like:

"Oh hey adventurers...  what city yall from? ...  i aint sen a non-blue person in like 100 years"

Crex knows where the Main Gate is, but its many weeks journey tho... Crex offers coords....

But instead party decides to attack. Need to spec out a Dragon cuz they roasted Crez as is and (almost) killed her. They got coords though and left...

.... but not before chatting with Gunner in an ice cave, who convinced the party NOT to close the Gate here, under the auspice that the Gates were concealing TREASURES or some shit.
