Session 43: Hunt for Blamrow and Meet the Storm King

On the Path + Dreams

Currently in the elemental Plane of Air. There is NO horizon. Coming from Sigil it’s odd. We are unsettled.   While we are traveling, it’s hard to tell what time of day it is. About when we think we might need to setup camp. There’s a bigger spot up ahead. Stairs down into it. No roof.   Cita Sarez volunteers to check for traps - not believe there are traps. Thoradin son of Thorlum looks down into the area. The space is empty-ish. A stack of firewood and campfire stones. No beings.   Thoradin uses tremor sense. Finds a trigger for something. Seems connected to the entryway. He pushes the button. Stairs slide into the wall. But it’s a bit more safe. We get more room in the area. Pushes the button again to bring out stairs.   Watches. No sources of water or food. Do we need to ration? We have a decanter of endless water. We have good berry in a pinch. Fast forward though night. We head out.     Air changes - over the days to many different kinds of days. After 8-10 hours of travel we get to camping spots.   Shimmersays, under the walkway - there’s “runey runes”.   Ahead is a sparkly tip thing. It flashes. It’s getting bigger.     Rashid Fen Rey has a dream - of a snake haired woman. Mamma Yu. Very pregnant. Darkness all around. Connected or source of huge amount of power or magic. She is not evil.  

Fight!

Stormy notices a wall of darkness coming at us FAST! Are we near a campsite? 1/2 hour from one. The air around us goes calm. We book it to the next “shelter”. Thoradin presses the switch. The wind is too much for Shimmer to fly. The rain hurts.   Cernan Aelar tries to see what he can find out about the storm. Uses divines sense - are to see anything due to the wind. fist shape smashes into Cernan. Something is now around us.   Whirlwind shape with massive hands trying to swipe at us. Face on it is unhappy. Air elemental? Roars.   Cita draws her sword and tries to slice it. 17 hits. Sword disrupts the wind, wounds it.   Thoradin gets laughed at by the thing.   The wind things go. Two lightning bolts. EEP! Stormy, Shimer, Thoradin get hit. Cernan gets hit with force.   16 is a miss. Stormy uses a banishing arrow on one. Lightning did nothing.   Cernan hit with lovely radiant damage.   Rashid tries hypnotic pattern. It works on 1 of the 3. Then tries runic empowerment. Casts with a wind rune and he goes out of the enclosure.   Thoradin hits with extra lightning. Valkyrja - has lightning going around. Thoradin explodes with lightning to hit the wind things. (Special feat. Not tuned right yet.) Thoradin can’t see.   The windy things. One goes to “chat” w/ Rashid. Hits Stormy, Cernan, and Thoradin.   Stormy banished one! (DM said to another plane. In future banish arrows will cost more!)   Cernan does divine smite. Damage!   Landis stabs the air elemental. He turned the dagger Stormy gave him into a short sword. He wants a net next.   Cita stabs it for lots of damage.   Thoradin blind (hits at disadvantage)!   Shimmer tries to bite - not do anything.   Cernan brings it down to about nothing. Losing force. And Rashid takes it out.   Last one decided to go away.   Rashid does Leomund’s tiny hut. Thoradin is charred and blind. Shimmer helps him, since he’s unable to see. Cernan lays on hands for Thoradin. HP comes back by 40. Still can’t see. We sleep confidently - hut is impenetrable. Magically and physically caused.   We do a long rest.       Over the next 3-4 days, we get noticablty closer faster once we decide to go. The path will take us to the mountain. It’s getting cold. Uncomfortably cold - so we pull out winter gear.   We do Leomunds tiny hut again.   We opt to climb the mountain. Path takes us close to the summit. (DM loves us.) Dangerous to get to top. Rashid falls. We rope together. Stormy in lead. It’s getting COLDER!   There’s a bit of cold damage for a few of us.   Lightning raining down around us.  

Plane of Ice and the Storm King

At the top. There’s a stairway that leads to a round table. Mist swirling. Rumbling. Out of the mists. A head emerges. Bigger than the mountain. Huge Dragon head! The biggest thing we've ever beheld! HUGE.
  Stormy intros the group and asks for his help to heal . The dragon asks. He does not require our sight. Stormy is asked to give her bow. He puts her bow on the altar. A huge shaft of lighting comes down. Engulfs the area with light. Lightning absorbs the bow. And Thoradin can see again. Thoradin can light up his tattoos with lighting to give off light.   In the place of the bow there’s another bow: Bow of the Storm King.   The Storm King pulls his head back. "Stormy beware of what dreams may come."   Stormy leaves the Storm King a blessing of flowers and composes a song about him. She stays long enough to sing it for him. The flowers that come up are ice blue.
