Session 138: Scallywags: The Last Queen, Jhusve Voidshard

General Summary

From behind the lines, Rognur Cromsoms works in the shadows with Ollie to distract, destabilize, and confuse the reinforcements of Jhusve: Dragoons, knights, calvalry, and wizards. They work together to sabotage the last force cannon, those necrotic empowered rail guns the queen used upon the wall, the Conduit of Threev. Thankfully, Mila protected it with her force field, and Wulfgar stayed behind to rain fire, light, and earth upon those other mages and arcanists trying to reinforce Jhusve.


  She tried to run, to stop time, and teleport even, but Orran's odd sense of direction and even diven sense allowed them to teleport on her heels. While Ilknar travels back, to assist Nethpione who watches Sasha mutate and grow into a hydralike chromatic dragon. This fiendish possession fights with Sasha's own sanity, but her sense of will and control over it allows her to take the battlefield back for her allies and against the queen. Her Emberheat and undead horde now where to be seen, destroyed by Ilknar, Tiamat's Wrath in the form of Lady Sasha, and Ollie and Nethpione's command of shadow and the storm. The Reinforcements have turned around, and gather around the arcanists; many teleport away, back to the Mainwalk Capital presumably. Fire, lightning, acid, cold, and poison: bites and breathes of dragon lay to waste the remaining followers of Jhusve, and Ilknar and Nethpione, with Ollie's help, take out the remaining. Rognur watches from the distance, ready to engage and help if needed. Yet, their divine interactions seem to give them the favor over the field of battle. 


  Still trolls run to engage and aid their queen, while Brimstone keeps Jhusve pinned, Mila keeps her from teleporting away, even with almost being turned to stone herself, and Orran pelts the queen with arrows of psychic power. Still, even, Threev, the conduit itself defends against troll, queen, and dragoon, but once Sasha returns with Ilknar and Nethpione, her form now that of her 'normal' yuanti, the Queen is far from outnumbered, and many of her allies have fled. But, she still has tethered her necrotic essence to sanctify her soul from Aikanaro's grip. She will be fine. Yet, she faces a paladin of Tritherion, and the onslaught of Ilnar's giant storm, and Mila's magic of memory and shield she provides to herself and the golden wings to protect Brimstone, let alone Wulfgar's faith in the Wall and the Primordials, Orran's fey logic and wrath--Jhusve may not have been fully prepared. Fate has doomed her. With the final punch, and the prayers from Wulfgar to have her soul truly taken to better planes, to a new life away from Barur--Jhusve Voidshard finally falls, her mana no more. 


  She has fallen, and the will of the Queen is lost. The Faces can now choose for themselves, but the Scallywags know not what still remains back in Mainwalk: is the siege a full failure? Can those lives lost be willingly brought back, to live again? Are we truly ready to continue thes divine trials, to annoint and ordain a new Warden of The Wall.
