C2 Session 18
General Summary
They hear bells above chiming, people are moving around
People are shouting about an attempt on the queen’s life that was luckily thwarted by the guards
They are looking for two dragolians and one tabaxi
They decide to rest for the night in the safety of the cellar and Daemon says he will bring them to Fio in the morning
Before they go to sleep, Henry opens his bag and takes out scroll cases of notes and an intricate tome
He casts identify on it and finds it to be an atlas of endless horizons
They look at the notes and they don’t make any sense to anyone but xodon
All of the notes are written in thieves cant
Notes on the blueprints for the rivendale tower, the environment before the construction of the tower
There are thick bundles of notes on the darklings, and found that their source of magic altered based on the plane of existence they were on
People born on the material plane cannot use the magic from the feywild
Reimun experimented and was moving things in between space and time, combining the pools of magic from different planes
As they are looking through the notes, there is a footnote written in the margin talking about the transmatic plane, a plane between time.
It is written in dragolian and in a completely different handwriting
It reads: “Suppose one reigns from this realm, those who think they share a pedestal with god are those who are put far below the earth, Erased from history, and truly forgotten. Is that fate any different than the reality you claim. Is the one who rules that reality the one who can give you fate worse than this. Watch your words, Guard your Thoughts.”
It is the last note taken on this space outside of time, as if Reimun got too close to something, and someone else checked him
As Henry is reading the notes, everything goes white
Everyone else sees his eyes go black and begin bleeding from every orifice
Koin runs over to stop him from falling over
Henry doesn’t know who he is anymore
He is afraid, and has to get away from him
He looks up to see a tabaxi holding his darkling brothers, slaughtering them
Athe tabaxi, with a scar on his face, tells him he was supposed to be the elder
Says he cannot fight him and must get back to the tower
He begins running and the man chases, but he is faster
He remembers being born into the world and being made elder for protecting all of his brothers
He does not know what to do besides try to make it home and protect the rest of his brothers
He is running through the forest and is blinded by adrenaline, not noticing the bodies
He moves up through the tower and sees that everyone there is dead
There are three figures around him: a short haired man with a dagger, a white haired man with a ponytail, and another different tabaxi chasing him
He doges and almost kills him, then feels a sword in his chest
He puts darkness around the one casting spells at him, then runs into it
Feels the sword in his chest again as light begins emerging from his body, he is reminded that this world is only war, and he explodes into light
Henry feels flashes of light, memories that he does not remember, but all of the involving Reimun
Many different creatures one or two interactions with him
They stop
He is standing in a chamber alone
A tabaxi child walks up to him in rags and chains
A voice that isn’t his speaks, but it comes from his mouth
It says “you will be strong one day Reimun, yes… very strong”
A blue skinned arm reaches out and caresses his head
Henry suddenly remember the only person with that accent(the same one as Reimun’s) he knows, Zedek
In the flashes, henry sees zedek training Reimun how to tie other souls into his own
Throughout the lifetime he lives, he learns every dunamancy spell he can
He also learns that Zedek lived in a laboratory that teleported a lot but accidentally locked himself in Xyria and began pulling things to him to experiment on
Henry can infer that whoever wrote the footnote had something to do with the man inhabiting this realm out of space and time
He knows that Zedek was powerful, but not powerful enough to make Reimun as powerful as he is
Art is a study, you cannot surpass the teacher by only studying what they teach
Reimun is one of the most powerful mages he has ever seen
Conjuration is a very picky school of magic, and Reimun has a lot of knowledge about conjuration and planes
His technique has a signature, and it is not his own
Henry knows of the man named Aidren who invented plane magic, and Reimun would’ve had to be there to know how to do his magic
Henry saw through the eyes, and knows that Reimun, through training from Aidren, stood in Amulet and cast the spell that injured Aidren so heavily, the one to instill the pools of magic from each plane into Aidren
The frosty blue eye that Reimun possesses is Aidren’s eye, a present from the man outside of time
Henry deduces that due to needing fey blood to use dunamancy, that he must have some essence of fey blood in him
They all finally go to sleep and wake up in the morning well rested
Koin bargains with Daemon for a siege ballista to no avail
Daemon says they should set foot for the city of Fio
Xodon asks Daemon if Poco is in Fio, which he confirms
Fio is a privately owned city, owned by Formun Oindre
Daemon grabs Xodon’s shoulders as to use him to channel the teleportation to Fio
Seven rings light up around him and Koin and Henry step inside as they are transported to a warmer environment
Xodon recognizes it as his home, but he notices that there is smoke all around and there are seven ships on the coast, of the dragolian armada, but they are all much bigger than that of Ildrae’s fleet
Henry knows a bit about this fleet of ships
He knows this fleet belongs to captain Whitefang, a brutal pirate, and a wanted man in Dragol when Henry was a child
He is the only man in Dragol to steal an entire dragolian boat and pillage and kill an entire city with just that one ship
He doesn’t take prisoners, so his skillset is unknown
When he was caught they planned to execute him, but instead put him under eternal indentured servitude to the armada, and captain Waydrane made him a captain
The ship he controls is called the hollow’s tear, and the ships are in great condition, but he is known for never cleaning up blood
As a result, the sails, mast, and deck are spattered in dried blood
There is lots of destruction and battle occurring at the shore, but not to the extremity of Thera
Fio is a powerful city with powerful guard called zxaralites
Fast and tough warriors, second only to the beastmen of Auding
Henry is shocked to see elves and gnomes and dwarves in the city, which are more often considered to reside in dragon
They are different, with either black, grey or white skin
Xodon knows they call themselves the shader kai
They all look at the battle, remembering that the events occurring are identical to those described in the letter they found a while back
They watch the guard fight whitefang, slashing through the zxaralites with ease
He is accompanied by two martially adept soldiers
One with long black hair firing a modified crossbow that is constantly firing arrows
The other is wearing deep shining purple armor and wielding a sharp blue sword
Henry casts haste on Koin and moves forward a bit
Koin begins sprinting towards a pocket of enemies off to the side, attacking and killing on instantly upon arrival
Xodon begins moving towards Whitefang
The swashbucklers throws away his crossbow and pulls out two more, beginning to move towards Xodon
Henry moves forward to backup Xodon
Koin moves in to kill more of the enemies
More battle takes place across the city and they are slightly in the advantage
The swashbuckler attacks him, suddenly appearing in the sky above Xodon, firing 12 arrows down at Xodon, then kicking at him but missing before moving backwards a bit
Xodon moves in for an attack, slashing him with both his swords and biting him, inflicting both a curse and a wound, bloodying him
They suddenly see funnels of wind rise up and sets of swords and shields fly up, the enemy wizards disarming the guards with wind
They all see the goblins strike whitefang from under the sand with spears, and charging him
Whitefang swings his harpoon arm and as the dust clears, all the goblins are dead and whitefang is unphased
Sun emerges and begins fighting the warrior in purple armor
Sun recklessly attacks, the man blocking with his sword repeatedly
Sun kicks sand into the man’s eyes, blinding him and striking him with his sword
The man recovers right before sun summons two new scimitars and goes in for more attacks
Henry finally arrives to see the swashbuckler almost dead due to xodon’s attacks
He hits him with a chromatic orb, burning him
Koin continues crusading through the sidestreets, killing off enemies they find and almost meeting up with Sun
Daemon is on the opposite side helping Poco take out some other enemies
Whitefang launches his harpoon at Henry, and it lands right next to him before returning to his arm
Whitefang looks directly at henry, and without looking away kills four of the zxaralites
