[spoiler]Apparently I don’t have access to many of my old posts to bury roleplaying secrets in. I shall just use this one. [/spoiler]
The breath of the cold wind and snow freezes all it touches. Burying all life underneath it’s piles. The only thing blocking the cold breath of the endless winter is the mountain range where the ice is contained. Rising from The Valley of a lonely mountain is a single metal tower. It’s doors are frozen shut as ice runs across the entire tower. Each crystal crossing and dancing along its surface in elegant patterns. The Icy grasp of winter has closed around the tower. It’s had suffocated the life from it.
The tower stands. A cold abandoned watchtower that has been long forgotten by all but its resident.
The tower isn’t important though. What lies underneath is. Under the tower is a large unnatural cave system. With the wills snd wishes of a powerful but mad wizard. A large stone guardian stands at the entrance. It’s figure is that of a hulking warrior made from many boulders to heavy for most to even push, yet alone lift. It stands lifeless in a eternal vigil.
The cave is a large laboratory of artifice. Different clockwork and magical inventions lay about along with many blueprints. Past the many traps and dangers there is a single vault door. Almost unbreakable in the strength derived from a long lost metal.
The lab itself is filled with many unfinished projects. When the wizard has a idea for a newer and cooler project he drops all thoughts of the old one and moves on. That was until his staff increased as he build a partly functioning machine to create the staff of the only people he trusts. Clones Himself and his best friends. Although the machine to is unfinished and produces interesting results.

[u]Mystical extraterrestrial Kitten. [/u] Roaming around Holmes lab is a small yellow cat. It is quite a adorable little creature and acts just like a normal cat. If Holmes or one of his assistants is asked about it, they shall only tell you that it is for remembering a old forgone time.

[u]Spaceforce 1! (Imagine that in a 1960s space age TV show narrator voice.) [/u] Nothing to special of important. The only thing here is a old model 1960s era spaceship from a time past. A time where the president of offtopic wanted to establish a position is [i][u][b]SPAAACE!!!![/b][/u][/i]. He has his top scientist and director of hidden affairs to assemble a team and get to space Apollo-11 style and not just pretend to have a boring fleet. This mission was not successful as the team way never really started after being assembled and the space age craze really just stopped.

[u]The Planer Closet. [/u] One of the oldest projects on the wizard takes a unassuming shape. A simple wooden wardrobe which sits in its own private room. While eloquently designed it is completely damaged with many dents and a large amount of wires spewing from its interior. Of course it is not a actual closet but a device that has been in the wizards possession for as long as he could remember. It is not of his own design but still a prized position.

Edited by Warlock Holmes: 10/19/2020 2:25:23 PM[spoiler]Decided to move the Doorway down to a subsection for I have more projects in the Lab now. [/spoiler] [u]The doorway.[/u] Inside the vault is a table. Large and round this clockwork platform seems to be almost like a fountain or a board. Behind it stands a closed doorway. This doorway stands in the middle of the room and does not open anywhere for there is nothing on the other side. While many inventions are around the laboratory this doorway is the wizards most precious. He is constantly at work unless the pains of sleep takes him. The inventor is a busy man and he doesn’t work without assistance. His most trusted assistant stand at work upon the doorway. Always working while his master is away. Trying to get the doorway to open. This assistant is the wizard himself but instead of flesh, blood, and metal he is made of snow and magic. It is not like the wizards where building a doorway to the unknown. No the lord of artifice and wizardry has traveled to his realm many times. A real formed by his divine will but chaotic, unknowable, and uncontrollable. Building the doorway would allow the wizard better acess to a land created by the three in one and better control. His assistant continued working. Almost readt but never finished without the wizard lord. For now, doorway stands close. But for how long?

Edited by Warlock Holmes: 10/19/2020 2:25:07 PM[u]The cloning machine[/u] Another thing locked deep underground is a large machine created by the nomad wizard himself. You see the wizard believes his own time is very important and cannot be wasted. With his research into spells such as cloning and simulacrum, along with the field of artifice, he was able to create this strange machine which can occasionally make clones of lesser power and even different design. A machine based on the works of great wizards like Divaryth Fyr and slightly from Jon Irenecus. Although the wizard kept his machine as separate from Irenecus as possible for the evil necromancer disgusted, and yet maybe even fascinated, him. Many of these duplicates have been made before. One is the worker who is always in the lab. Always experimenting. Another unfortunate is at the bottom of the sea. Quite dead. Finally a last one was made that is different than the rest. This one is made to be different than it’s creator and serve one purpose no matter how complicated that purpose may be. Although this clone is by no means perfect for its task and that is something the wizard seeks to correct by improving the machine. Maybe he would make a clone to do that. Perhaps he will.

Edited by Warlock Holmes: 10/20/2020 12:07:58 AM[i][b][u]The Clones[/u][/b][/i] [i]When devising beings of yourself be warned to not let there personality be consumed by one of your traits. -Some random stuff I just made up that doesn’t exactly make sense and barely relates to any of this at all.[/i] Since even before the cloning machine the wizard lord has always been fond of clones and simulacrums. Therefor he has a multitude of different ones which I feel like I should list here. Although many are not clones for say but magical beings made with some essence of the wizard or his friends. So here we are! [u] Moriarty[/u]: Long ago the wizard lord was infected with a vicious vampirism. The infliction was given by a horsemen of the apocalypse. With the wizards willpower he was able to fight the desires of blood but this split his personality in two. He was eventually slain by his knight friend and his spirit was sent into a waiting clone. Unfortunately he had two clones and the evil vampiric spirit also went into the second waiting clone. This produced Count Professor Moriarty. The count Last know destination is unknown as he disappeared into writes block, retconning, and laziness. [u]The perished [/u]: this is a clone made by the wizard lord to basically be a duplicate and assistant. Unfortunately he was drowned by a elder elemental. Not made by the cloning machine. [u]The assistant[/u]: after the wizard lord changed into a clockwork wizard he created another assistant with the same job as the perished. Although this assistant took the form of a Dunmer. [u] Calimafindë[/u]: After retreating into the mountains and creating this very layer, the wizard lord tried to make a champion out of magic to serve the good of the land. Unfortunately this champion vanished the same way Moriarty did. [u]The beast that lurks[/u]: besides the dramatic name it isn’t actually to dramatic. Just a Olympic sized swimming pool with the clone of a very big creature inside. This body is not possessed and is waiting. [u]Cloning Machine and House of Holmes. [/u] The great wizard lord also attempted to make more perfected clones with his machines. Unfortunately It didn’t work as planned. Or perhaps it did. The wizard lord started by using the essence of his knight friend to create a perfect warrior. Well that is what was assumed. Then he created another version of himself made to serve a specific task. The machine was corrupted by dark powers and these duplicated turned into dark elves (drow) who where still obsessed with there task but in a darker way. They wanted to summon The spider Queen herself to the land. To do so they created there own house in the ever expanding caves of the mad wizards layer. Truthfully the machine did not malfunction but was tampered with by some unknown force. A third was created by this machine but not by the mad wizard lord. The two drow, while disliking the idea, needed to complete there house. So, using the wizards invention, they crafted another clone. This one to be the leader of the house. More shall be added when I have time.

Edited by Warlock Holmes: 10/19/2020 6:30:49 PM[u]The undertopic[/u] Portals start opening across the wizards laboratory and caves across the land of offtopic. A team has been assembled. With his many projects the wizard lord wished to expand his layer. After contacting a dwarf to do so he assembled a team of dwarves from across the planes and got all they need. Pickaxes, equipment, food, shelter, a citadel, workers, and lots ans lots of mead. Plus the occasional use of the wish spell. Now the dwarven commander Just has to arrive. [spoiler]Closed for renovation. Still awaiting that durned dwarf..[/spoiler]
