^^^^Kinda what Magilacutty Looks like, based off of my favorite wizard, Raistlin Majere
GM: Exhasted and frustrated at the cliff cave some 200 feet up, the party settles in to their newly cleared wyvern cave. The smell of the draconic beasts is hard to be rid of, Flidder's annoyed disposition is the greatest evidence of this. It is a warm summer night, even for the normally cold climes of the Qualinesti plateau. The cool cave offers a bit of air conditioning, and traps moisture well, a nice break from the arid region.
The sun begins to fade, and you all pull out some rations. Newin assures Sabellion that wyvern meat is poisonous, so he decides to eat rations as well. Though the party lit no fire to avoid detection, Sasha goes around, using a fraction of her spell powers to warm food up. The moon is nearly full and those with low-light vision can see a breath taking view of the plateau. The party shares some stories, and have a few laughs. Crimwinkle plays a melodic song, to ease the soreness of traveling so far.
It would seem to be any other night by the adventurers estimation, and one of the few nice ones, not fearing as much from a random giant frilled lizard entering the camp. Then suddenly a bright light springs forth from the mask of Nicodemus. Many in the party start rolling their eyes. Oh boy another crazy ranting from Old Man Magilacutty
Rather than an image an actual person appeared. He looks a great deal like Magilacutty, but he was not wielding a small mammal he was sodomizing, he was not drinking alcohol, both eyes were open and he had no eye patch, he wasn't even hunched over. Rather than tattered rags, he wore a magnificent looking robe. Those with a swift spellcraft check knew it to be a Robe of the Archmagi, and bore a deep crimson and gray color. (which meant that the wearer was presumably neutral) In one hand he held aloft a long wooden staff shod in iron and inscribed with sigils and runes of all types. Not even the bard could discern what this staff was (the DC is 50 to identify it) though all the party members could feel power emanating from it. As the old man collected himself, he tossed off the hood he wore, and around his brow was a remarkable headband. (someone in the party crits a spellcraft and knows it is a Headband of Mental Superiority, +6, which may explain why Magilacutty looks more approachable) Everyone, even Nicodemus who is more accustomed to his antics, was speechless.
Magilacutty: Heh heh heh! Didn't expect me didja now? Oh look its the old crazy man, who thinks he is some great wizard. (His tone changes to a much more serious, and grave one) Well I am, and though I enjoy a more casual guise, there are times when powers like mine are needed. I am sorry to interrupt, however there is a very important matter I need to discuss. (He takes a minute to look around) Looks like you have your own important mission. Well then, I guess I will just take a small tithe of your talent, and recruit elsewhere.
GM: The party begins nervously looking around.
Maieve: What is needed of us?
Magilacutty: Let's just say the planes are all something similar to a series of discs placed near each other. There are a series of discs that are expanding, and beginning to crush other planes by melding with them. It just so happens that the expanding planes are all aligned with evil. I have not yet discerned the source of the power that is making these planes expand, but it is coming from within those evil planes. I am taking a small crew of able adventurers with me to the astral plane to collect information, however I forgot that you yourself were all searching after a dark energy. (He managed a blush) I did do some scrying on Nicodemus, and if I am correct, soul energy is being collected. (He begins rubbing his chin) Well then I suppose you could spare one of your crew.
GM: Magilacutty begins casting some divination spells, then casts telepathic bond and links with Maieve. They have a few silent mental words, and Maieve bows. The old man then pointed to Nicodemus.
Magilacutty: Come on boy, you are my favorite. If you think I was weird, just wait till I take you to some of the different planes. Oh and you can have my share of any loot. (Nicodemus' eyes perked up) Heck I have enough gold to buy your whole party. As for right now I am sworn to maintain the balance of good and evil, and right now evil thinks its a big deal. (He begins talking more to himself, though as he does it, peels of magical energy glow around him) I don't care if its Asmodeus himself, he knows the rules, and when the rules are broken, Magilacutty gets to break stuff too. Strap your dick in you chubby ass piece of crap, we are gonna have a blast.
GM: In a bright light Nicodemus and Magilacutty disappeared from the cave.
