Session 4- Annoying the Gods of Ereteria Report
General Summary
Underground
You started where you last left off underground in a cultist's base. You had just killed them both and humphhrey had just managed to reign in his spider apperance a little. You loot the bodies of the creatures, only to find a single key. The key has the symbol of the spider on it. You go into the kitchen, craff picks up his caltrops and quest to find alchol but do not find any. The party takes a rest on the floor of this kitchen, humpphrey lying in chains on the table, just in case he hurts anyone again. You cautiously open a small door to reveal a storage room. Lying on the table is a Cloak Of Billowing and what looks to be a very important like picture. Craff takes the cloak which wraps around him. and a picture Picture of the Kobolds that has an inscription wrote on it that made jackie pale in the face. She detects, well, detect magic. Detect magic notices 3 unique auras surrounding humpphrey that seem to be.. animalistic and very foreign in origin, a strange, draconic blue aura with a black underlay that feels both celestial and necrotic, as well as a small song-like component. The cloak gives off a faint magical feel to it, but it wasnt much. There was nothing else in the room magical. You open up the big door that the cultist locked, with enough force that wooden parts fell of it. At the end of the tunnel like corridor, there was an intersection. You, detecting magic again, turned to the left, and found a room with a magical circle made of blood, a goblet just to the side of the centre, filled with what seemed to be elvish blood. There was a sense of necrotic energy here and a bat comes screeching out of the corner towards you. You killed the bat. It only had one hp. It was not hard. After some discussion about what to do with this circle, you placed the goblet on top of the circle and your world blackens, with the pained "NO!" of an entity. The portal is left open behind you.Meeting Mysteria
You suddenly find yourselves in a abyss, i did not have time to particularly explain this area and a woman walking towards you. This is Mysteria. She tells you off for your actions and claims you are supposed to be her champions. You "wake up" in the middle of the forest. Craff, very vaguely recognises this forest as the The Bandit Forest. The party then promptly insults the god of trickery, who luckily for them has a good sense of humour and a small laugh fills the clearing. They then continue to insult the gods and calls Danica, the goddess of darkness, not realising who she is, Fat. Danica does not have a good sense of humour. That was a stupid move, my people. She turned up and the only reason she did not kill you all on the spot is because i did not have a stat sheet prepared for her. She starts chocking one of you, holding you in the air, in a death grip really. To not kill you all immediatly, on your 4th session, i gave you a choice. One of you could roll a D20 and it would summon another god to intervine. You rolled and a god sitting on the ground appeared, an important looking priestess, Cora. Cora seems to somehow know who you are, as the gods in this world talk to each other. She knows the things you have done. telling you off for getting into this mess, she tries to help. She summons her fellow cleric and best friend, high priestess of chronotok, Pandora Pandora Schrondinger to see if she can reverse time. At this point, mysteria had showed up already, and is doing what she can to stop danica murdering you all, but is very low on her powers. Craff asks for her help, she cant do much to help him, he has to believe in her, without question, without any doubt. This gives her enough of an increase in her powers to stop herself from dying and give craff a small boost to his own, enough that he recovers a couple of spell slots. Mysteria and Chronotok look at each other with a bit of affection and when mysteria notices danica she walks over looking like she is about to cry. , when pandora goes to help, chronotok shakes his head slightly, knowing that a full reversal of time would have dangerous consequences. Pandora manages to turn time back for a few seconds, just about long enough to stop jackie from dying by danica's hand. Humpphrey at this point had finally released his full animal form, his creatures inside of him panicking so much at the danger to the world that they summon the goddesses Nia (Hunter) and Miranda (sea/water). Who whisper to him to keep guarding the world, fully activating his spirit guardian powers. (you may take this feat on level up). They greet Mysteria as mother, Chronotok as father, danica and cog as sister and brother. Its a regular jeremy kyle show, just with gods. Cora finds a potion of knowledge that craff takes and drinks it. He temporarly learns banish and with the help of all the gods and goddesses. he manages to banish danica to the darkness realm but wild magic coming from mysteria means that he turned invisable for a minute. the goddesses Miranda and Nia, disappear, along with chronotok and pandora. Mysteria walks closer to the party, kisses craff on the forehead, removing the affect of invisability and tells you all that, you were chosen correctly. She then tells you the prophecy that you are involved in.The Prophecy:
When the life tree cries out in sorrow When seconds of time are lost When Night and Day do not follow There will be a trio who must win at all costs One who is gifted and cursed The second, friend of the beasts The final one, The master of song, for his magic is this world's weave Far and wide the trio must travel Facing troubles and dangers and strife Divine artifacts, together to gather back to the brink of life Once this prophecy is heard May this quest proceed For the time is now and the heavens dont bow As mother, i do intercede. before disappearing completly. Cog and Cora are still around at the moment and you all make camp in the forest, avoiding already lit campfires, just to sit down for a few moments. Cora suggests that you head to her city, the city of ticking clocks to proceed with your quest that you have just been given. I gave you all a level up, meaning you are now on level 4. Congratulations :DRewards Granted
