SESSION 149 March 29, 2017

8:15 PM 4th day of Holiday

On side of mountain, Chuq & Thorfus attempt to face the “wind”.

Glavnung calls it a wind devil and they protect their territory, the top of mountains. We flee, it follows for a ways, but does not attack.

We see Marientaxus inthe distance and use the Starchy badge to signal. He lands and we explain the situation. He agress to bring Glavnung along.

Suddenlty 3 lightning bolts from 3 draw hit Marientaxus. We fire our bows, and Mireintasus breathes lightning and drops one.

One of the two that remains, appears to cast continual light on the ground, but it is actually a portal. Several drow emerge and Edan casts ice storm and some fall and are injured, with one falling to his death.

An unnaturally tall dwarf in power armor follows behind the drow. He has a glowing gem somewhere on his head. A voice from the broachy talky again invites Thorfus to join him. He flips a switch and then there are four of him with a sword like that.

Glavnung flees downhill. We managed to all reach Marientaxus who flies us back to his mountain.

Ronan is healed but wakes thinking we are demons, and he strikes down Belisente, who we rush to aid. Thorfus grapples Ronan and Ronan is bound.

We begin to discuss our options, and plan to leave the mountain tomorrow.

We found that the broachy talky allows the mad king to talk to us, but not see us.

Edan tries to ask Kalgun a question, but Kalgun is not there. Did he go into the dragon, another magical device, an undying?

Marientaxus, Kottar, and Prixathalma will go in one direction, and the rest of use plan to go to the illusionists, and train, and perhaps get modifications.

There will be much to discuss in coming days….

NOTE: John asked that we resolve where we are going and who is delivered to which location by Marientaxus here on the G+ Community page for the campaign.

Session 147 March 15, 2017

Noon, 4th day of the Great Fair, Glavnonne armory wing

AD clock reads 00.000.04.12

The lonely undying fire giant corpse’ control cube is collected then it’s decapitated to forestall subsequent reanimation. An arrow silted murder room is found to the south. Its single islander undying attendant is quickly murdered and mutilated same as the fire giant. A parallel murder room can be seen across a wide cavern that lies behind Glavnonne’s entrance palisade. A wide pit in the cavern evidences where Finkleworm must have burst the Fire Giant’s defenses from behind.

An immense gutted armory is found to the north with an adjacent trophy room adorned with various racial banners hung from its ceiling. Banners for Gnolls, Kobolds and Islander tribes are seen here. A fully stocked smaller armory is found east of the trophy room. While investigating its contents, voices are heard approaching. An ambush is set and sprung which kills a team of Islander fighters, a mouthless Cleric and a pair of undying Fire Giants. A newly discovered transpatial tube launcher engulfed most of the investigators in a magical ball of fire. The survivors of the explosion are dispatched by the party’s weapons. The TransTube and all the ammunition are looted.

Edan spies the main hall where more foes are lying in wait. The party is shadow stepped to a catwalk above and behind the ambushers. A group of Islander fighters and an eyeless Cleric fall to a surprise attack with the TransTube. One of the pair of undying Fire Giants is singed by the explosion. Stranded two levels below the party, the pair of undying Fire Giants in the main hall slink into hiding keeping the party observed, no doubt informing their handler(s) of our activities. Like the first team, the dead have no loot worth taking.

We descend to the middling catwalk where undying are milling about with raw material in their hands as they enter into an overwhelmingly hot room to the northwest. Those that return from the room are empty handed. Ignored by these undying we approach their destination where we find a conveyor belt manufactory staffed by gorilla autonotoms heating material delivered by the undying, hammering the material into shape and impregnating nano fiber material into sheets that are conveyed to a central steamy pit where the stuff disappears from our view. Kalgunn adores their industry and laments its beautiful.

Axel’s power armor allows him to endure the manufactory’s heat so he crosses a catwalk to another door. There he finds a 50 x 50 x 50 cube room where the catwalk continues to surround a giant 30 x 20 cube hanging from the ceiling. A bedraggled unhealthy dragon’s head hangs from the bottom of the cube. Undying armed with spears jab the cube causing flashes of lightning that prompt the dragon to belch dragon flame into a whole in the floor below. There are steps to a raised dias where there is a very large autonotom shaped like a dwarf made of solid metal with no exposed joints or gears.

Axel returns to the party reporting what he’s seen. We decide to immediately assault. The undying attack, surrounding us quickly. Chuq and Ronan succumb to the manufactories’ heat as the party is shadow stepped to the door Axel had closed. They are dragged by the dwarves into the Cube/Dragon room where they recover in a minute. The door is spiked shut before we open up against the occupants since we hear loud grounding from the palisades. Ronan and Axel move to slay the undying stabbing Arumtaxis. The rest engage the A-1000 with Thessalhydra acid, Ice walls and magical lightning. Eventually all undying lay slain, Edan and Chuq move to release Aruntaxis leaving Thorfus alone to face the A-1000 with the last of our lightning in his hand. Edan yells at the back of Chuq’s head “Get his blood first!” Chuq turns to say “Who, me?” when time just stops…. for station identification. Until next Tuesday…
