New Face & Old Gods (Session 10)

Our heroes travel back to Safehaven after completing their quests, upon return they meet a new member of their party Constance. By speaking with the leader of Safehaven they discover the state of the Old Gods agreeing to help the Raven Queen, the patreon of Nirx return to physical form.

Successful in both of their goal our heroes return to Primoria. They give the body to Memphis Del'Tenin inexchange for 300 gp and are given a Verian Core as a gift from the Queen for their help so they may quickly return to Safehaven. While in Primoria our heroes get the orb identified finding that it is powerful abjuration magic containing something within. After a night of rest our heroes set sail for the month long voyage to Safehaven must expadited due to the power of the Verian Core.

While traveling dreams plague our heroes:
Nirx dreams of being a knight amongst many but all those around him falling depending a beatiful woman wearing a crown and a shall of raven feathers with fear in her eyes. A distored framented figure appraoches easily killing the other knights around him. Nirx trying to stop him is stabbed with his own glave. Only hearing screams behind him as the figure approaches the woman he was defending. Nirx awakens in a cold sweat.
Slickk'Twa has a dream sitting in his wizard tower in the Coalierian Foothills within his library by a fireplace. The room flickers betwwen decrepit and well-maintained. A unfamilar gravelly voice calls out from the fireplace telling him to "Enter the Flames". He begins to walk towards teh fireplace but as he does he stands up out of his body left behind sitting in the chair. Laughter is heard in the fireplace as the body of Slickk reaches fowards shouting "NO!". Before the astral form of Slickk is flung into the stars. Slickk'Twa awakens back on the ship.
Scar is spending one night looking over the ship when a shadowy figure shines out from a beam of light projecting from his chest. The figure;s voice and body is glichy, in a garble of sound he hears in a familar voice, "Find me."
Gael Morgana is trancing when he finds himself floating across the astral sea. Before him he sees an imposing castle looking out from a balcony its red glowing eyes light beacons scanning just as its makes direct eye contact with Gael he is pulled awake by the figure laughing.

Besides these dreams the rest of the month long journey is uneventful. As our hereos return to Safehaven they see it surrounded by dark clouds and covered by snow. Feeling exhuastion fill them as they land. The usually busling streets of Safehaven covered in feet of stone they druge forward to the Safehouse seeming it full of people clustering inside for warmth as they are summoned by Angus Mc'Ferguson.
He congradulates them on their victory and pays them 500 gp for retrieving the egss. Though he has a new ask of them to take an assoicate of his off-island, her name is Constance Marie Haberfellsh and she currently works down at a coffee shop in the Safehouse. She seems to specialize in nature magic but during this they are interrupted by a goblin who says the "Guy Upstairs" has rquested to speak with the party, the owner of Safehaven, "The Savoir".
Before heading up to meet him our heroes meet Constance who says she wants to leave to look for her friend, a satyr named Buck from the Feywild.
Before heading to the Savior our heroes go to speak with Bullyong who gives them more information on the orb in exchange for a tadpole. He says the Illithid used the orb to contain dangerous things, saying the thing inside the orb is used to dispose of issues that plagued his poeple. In exchange for the orb he promised not to use it to murber babies and gave the heroes 4000 gold pieces.

Now our heroes went up to the office of the Savior to speak with him. They saw a massive man stuffing his face with food. Began speaking with the heroes to deal with the storm situation, caused by a ice giant named Simon. However just as this was happening his eyes began to glow green and he began to cough falling onto the ground.
After a moment he stood up with a different demenor asking to hold Nirx's glave. As he did the room filled with darkness and a well-dressed woman with various masks appeared.
The Savior reveals his name is actually Irnos, the old god of Earth, Prophecy, and Gluttony and the presence of the Raven Queen as it was revealed allowed him to regain control of the body he possessed. The Raven Queen is the Old god of Intriue, Deceit, Night, and Wisdom.

The two old gods began discussing all sorts of different thing colminating in a way for the Raven Queen to return. They both requested the party help the Raven Queen regain her physical form which meant locating her old body to go back into.
After alittle research and questioning our heroes discovered the Raven Queen's body was located in Celestia, home of the Human Gods.

Speaking in private some of our heroes learned more of their pasts.
Irnos promised to help Slickk'Twas with his mind if they were able to contact the Old God of Life & Chaos, Essentia.
Gael found out through a prophecy of Irnos he would meet his father again.

With these revolations our heroes spent the next month resting and preparing for their journey to Celestia agreeing to return the Raven Queen to physical form.
Slick'Twa spoke with Altros the spellsmith of the Mages Guild for some spells and Cole the Azer who revealed the Deserts of A'ra are not particularly welcoming to outsiders expect for in Ravenfort which is located at the edge of the Red Basin. In this Slickk also learned he was previously a memeber of the Mage's Guild here.
Slick'twa showed much concern with traveling to Celetia and helping these Old Gods considering what he did.

Giving some time to research Celetia our heroes prepare to set off into the Astral Sea once more.
