One More Thing…
-
-We wrap-up the side-story.
- - Sheila G is plane shifting to Elysium with the 20-foot long “meat slug” of Azhia
- - Harvey is teleporting to Castle Black to meet with Kaldur
- - Stackor teleports Cayden Cailean, Gartug, and Van Peoples back to Rime,
- who all promptly go bar-hopping. He then scries and teleports back to
- the group in the Far Territories!
-
-
-
-Current Objectives
-
- - Proceed to the Far Territories, and reclaim Fort Rather.
-
- - Move north, looking for our scouts and Count Therin’s sons
-
-
-
-
-Events
-
- - We move north! We move past some pastures and flocks and shepherds. We
-eventually move into more rocky terrain, following a dirt road. We stop and
-ask the locals some details, and continue.
-
- - As night falls, we dismount and walk our horses to Mine Town. As we
-approach, we hear a terrifying scream from the skies, but make it to the
-walls without trouble. After introductions, we enter.
-
-
- - Sir Wallace approaches, asks us our purpose, and after we explain, invites us
-in further. Though initially very excited about our arrival, his attitude
-soured when we more-or-less flubbed our objectives. He dismissed us, and we
-went to find the Count’s son.
-
- - We meet the doctor, Boggins, who directs us to the son. Sir Tern uses his
-last channel for the day. Boggins then directs us to a tent where we find
-our missing cleric.
- - The cleric has been turned into an abomination, like the bones have been
-elongated into a circle in one direction, the muscles in another, the
-viscera in the first, the skin in the next. From within the center of the
-circle is a subtle glow.
-
- - The cleric is still conscious, and can scribble notes from a hand. We
- converse with it, and it alludes to a “him” and also that “the key is
- the gate is the key is the gate…”. It also still seems to know who it
- was. We decide to study it, as it is also not giving off any evil auras
- or otherwise anything concerning (aside from the obvious). Stackor does
- see a faint conjuration aura emenating from it; we don’t know why.
- - As we study rest and study it, the creature seems to be progressing.
-The light from within is pulsing slightly, and after some
-investigation, Stackor identifies it as in-rhythm with the creature’s
-heartbeat. He considers that perhaps this creature is now some kind of
-gate, and he casts dimensional anchor on it. The creature begins
-bleeding and writing in pain, and the light goes out. He decides to
-try and keep the creature anchored until resting is complete, but he
-is short by about 30 minutes. Appropriately enough, as soon as his
-last anchor expires, a massive Dark Tapestry beast erupts from the
-cleric-creature. COMBAT!!
-
-
-
-
- - We battle the massive Dark Tapestry beast. Stackor manages to banish the
-creature away, and we survive with minimal scrapes and suffering. After we
-re-coup, and Stackor teleports us in some healing potions, we report to Sir
-Wallace, and begin planning our next step. We end the session after telling
-Wallace we intend to destroy the Ogre King.
