The Nexus

Jerick signs the contract in a messy but legible handwriting that is reminiscent of a twelve-year-old's. After he was done signing, he put the pen back in his pocket. When the woman revealed her angelic nature, curiosity sparked in Jerick's eyes. This may be the one and only chance he could have to ...

"...Uh-huh." Marianne frowns. "...How... exact do you need me to be? The details are a bit private." She pauses, steepling her hands together and briefly dipping them forward to point at Jerick. "... Very private. As in, I'd probably need you to sign an NDA before I go into...

If she's weirded out by the spacetime shenanigans that enable the existence of a room that's bigger on the inside, or by any of the myriad of inventions lining the walls, floors, tables, shelves, and any other surface, Marianne doesn't show it. Instead, she simply does as is requested of her; sitti...

Marianne grimaces at that. The gnome's sudden change in demeanor doesn't bode well. It sounds a lot like he's either about to turn her down, tell her that she should be seeing someone instead of trying to find relief at the bottom of a bottle, or both. The apparent need to move to a more private ar...

"Healing elixir, yeah." The angel replies with a nod, scratching at her arm. "Or something very much like it. You see, I... have a bit of a problem." She waves to a passing server and places a quick order for a bottle of wine, before returning her attention to Jerrick. "Lat...

skrrrrrn! One of the stools groans as it's pulled out from under the table, and promptly put into use. "Hey there. I hear you make potions. You willing to do any commission work?" Jerrick's new companion is a short-ish woman with frizzled blonde hair, standing at somewhere just over five ...

Jerick sits at a table, gnome-sized of course, near the edge of the tavern, tinkering with some kind of mechanical object. Since arriving here a few months ago, he has made himself at home, setting up his workshop in one of the rooms. The rent is reasonable, and he can get some profit by selling his...

[On the Edge] "I think I do..." Jerick begins to rummage through his bags and pouches. After a moment, he retrieves a small roughly made metal cup. "Yup, I do, but I don't drink alcohol. Don't like the taste or the side effects." Jerick pulls a small wooden box from his largest ...

[On the Edge] Jerick peeked at the dissection of the fish. "OK then, we are having fish for dinner if there are no objections." Jerick pulled out his knife and pushed a button. When he did so, the blade of the knife started vibrating, so fast it looked as if it wasn't vibrating at all. &q...

"Okay, then, net it is."* Jerick holds out the crossbow, aiming for one of the fish in the water. Right before it seemed like it was about to jump, he pulled the trigger. Four stone pellets flew out, evenly spaced from each other, and spread the net. Right as the fish jumped out of the wa...

[On The Edge] "I don't have a fishing rod, but I do have this crossbow." Jerick retrieves the crossbow from its holster on his back. "It has a net attachment and a roped harpoon attachment. I made those to assist me in restricting the movement of not-so-nice-people, but they can also...

[On The Edge] "Oh sorry. I customized yours into a harness so that you are able to carry it without having your movement severely impaired and implanted a gem that will allow you to control the components with your mind. Other than that, it should work exactly the same." Jerick gives both...

[On the Edge] When both Olvisin and Xun make it down to the ever-morphing ground, Jerick pulls out the other two Tonal-Alignment-Devices, one for Olvisin and the other especially made to suit Xun's cat form. "Okay, making this campsite is going to take all three of us, so I'm going to demonstra...

On The Edge

Jerick's voice rings from down below. "Don't worry, I'm fine! It's really cool down here! You should take a look for yourselves!"

"So, I'll just get out my Tonal-Alignment-Device." Apparently, during the train ride and the walk, Jerick had been creating a set of devices meant to tune and capture errant energies out of spare parts and scraps of things. It looks like a small tuning fork with coils on each of the ends ...

"What train?" Jerick asks as he packs up.

Jerick's face brightens up, perhaps even brighter than it was when he was testing his Chaos-Amplification-Substance. "So, you can tune the planar energies here to produce and replicate different energies from other universes. Incredible!" He pulls out his notebook yet again, cataloging thi...

Jerick sighs and frowns. He says, "Sadly, I do not have any supply of the ingredients for any of my potions, and I'm pretty sure they only grow in Eberron where the planes bleed into the world in particular locations. So, as I am basically stranded here until I can find some way to return to Eb...

Jerick looked up as he was thinking. Then, he pulled out his notebook and flipped through the pages, landing on a particular page and reading it. Jerick nodded as if confirming his own thoughts. "The potion is primarily made of semi-magical herbs from the Mournland and Aundair that I brought to...

After getting back behind the protected glass, Jerick takes out the third and final vial. He shakes it and it turns murky brown and green with specks of orange. He throws it and when it hits, nothing happens at first. A moment passes, and suddenly vines, moss, and foliage burst from the ground, turn...

After Xun finishes writing down the results, Jerick picks up the next potion. He shakes it and it turns into a mixture of purple and blue. He throws it, and when it makes impact, almost instantaneously, everyone in the room teleports to a random location within the room. Jerick appears right next to...

After someone brought in a training dummy and everyone was safely behind the observing glass, Jerick took out 3 of the vials of silvery fluid. He shook the first vial, and it turned a cloudy gray. He then threw it at the dummy. On impact, it created a thunderous crash that shook the entire room and ...

"Okay, I think I can work with this," Jerick says as he looks around. "So, this is basically the testing area for after you make something?"

Jerick says, "So, are we almost at the labs? Are they the kind of labs where its only stuffy experiments with predetermined outcomes or are they the kind of labs where I can actually make some progress?" Jerick sounds as if he prefers a chaotic workshop where no one knows what's going to h...

Jerick replies, "If he uses them as mounts and pets, why doesn't he have a stable or a dedicated room and people to watch over them?"

Jerick looks slightly nervous. He asks, "Why are there so many wolves in this hallway?"

Jerick looks up at Solenoid and says, "Hello, nice to meet you." He takes a moment to look around. "So, is this a scientific institution? It seems much larger than any guildhall I've ever seen."

Jerick takes a moment to think. A moment passes and he says, "I'd like to take a look around before I join, see if it would be worthwhile." He puts the vial back into its pouch, along with the remaining two items. "Let's go take a look."
