C2 Session 27
General Summary
They are all at the top level of the castle, at hear a faint beat of a heart
Ahead they see flesh like tendrils that have attached themselves to the root of the doorway
They check for traps but the room contains none
Walking forward, the enter a normal chamber that is covered in red viscous material
There are several viscous walls in front of them, bits of feathers, an anchor axe, and garments in some of them
The tendrils are coagulating into one hole, there is a faint translucent glow on the other side
The tendrils are pumping material from the pods to the hole
They examine the structure further, and all but Koin notice that it is similar to the portal that brought them to the plane of water
They infer that it is a portal to a level of hell, and is the source of the enemies they have been fighting
Koin and Xodon take their swords and cut the tendrils around the pods
The others pipe in and help to peel back the viscous material, revealing their friends and another unknown person
They attempt to wake up their friends, but are unsuccessful
Koin heals Dara slightly, and she suddenly wakes up
She wonders what has happened, and Koin fills her in on what happened to Henry
Koin also heals Whitefang and wakes him up, who does not look so well, and fills him in as well
Whitefang says that it is too early and he needs something to eat, even though it is actually very late in the night
Dara heals Rafwar as Koin goes over to heal the unknown person
The unknown person wakes up and looks around to see a room full of people that he does not know at all
He sees Adrezill holding him and uppercuts him before yelling at him about how he left him for half a year
They all notice that he is a half-elf, and from Dragol
They discover that Adrezill is his friend, which makes Xodon Suspect Adrezill of also being from Dragol, which Xodon
They all turn to Rafwar, who is beginning to grasp his surroundings
Koin hands Dara the rod of resurrection, and the cloak of protection to Rafwar
Koin quickly sprints around the castle to see where they need to go to fight Siren and Paragon
He finds a lever that they missed and pulls it, revealing a cellar
He sprints back up and gets the rest of the group, leading them to the entrance of the cellar
They sit down for a while and talk strategy. Koin looks at the new guy, whose name is ardreth, and learns that he has swords and a bow with magic arrows
He also has tough skin, which Xodon would like to test
They form their squads and enter the cellar
They all enter to see a fiery bridge leading ahead
Koin dashes ahead, spotting a pack of rats and waiting for his friends
Zoroc moves up slightly behind Koin, and Xodon moves up ahead of both of them
Whitefang, Rafwar, and Dara move up a bit, Ardreth follows, and Adrezill maintains a safe distance
Koin moves up slightly further and notices a spectral being,or a ghost, floating a small distance away
He moves up to it, and questions what it is doing here
It stands there for a second, before saying “this world” and staring off into the distance
Koin ignores it and walks past, but as he does the ghost says “this world is wrong” and stare at him intensely
Koin is a bit freaked out, but walks a bit further, managing to spot a bone snake off in the distance, which he will wait for everyone to ambush with him
Adrezill begins moving up, with Dara, Whitefang and Rafwar following suit
Xodon walks up to the ghost, and questions it, but it does not answer
He walks past it and looks it in the eyes, but this time the ghost disappears
Ardreth sprints to catch up with everyone else
Koin decides to fight the bone naga by himself, moving up and seeing both Siren and paragon standing in a crater
Siren is covered in ritual paint, summoning a large beam of light that is almost locked in to place
Everyone catches up and also sees the sight of the ritual
Paragon walks up and says he is surprised that they lived, before throwing a fireball at them
Zoroc dodges and brushes of the fire, while everyone else gets hit
Koin rushes at Paragon and slashes at him, then moving in on Siren
Paragon looks at Zoroc and sends him into a vision of henry dying over and over
Zoroc activates his rite and then shoots Paragon
Adrezill casts a lightning bolt at him as well, striking down on him
Paragon is no longer floating above the ground, but is on his knees, clothes burnt and bleeding
Whitefang walks up and shoots his harpoon at Paragon, directly hitting him, but not being pulled in by Whitefang
Dara casts a spell to assist everyone, and Rafwar gives Koin some inspiration
Xodon attempts to escape the terrible vision, but fails
Ardreth shoots an arrow from his bow, damaging him
The wounds on him begin closing his wounds and he heals up
Siren continues to concentrate and notices Koin approaching
He bends his blood Koin feels it writhing around in his body, but nothing else happens
Paragon reaches his hand towards Koin and prepares an attack
The ground begins shaking and spinning round Koin, and a small sinkhole forms around him
Zoroc tries to attack Siren, but misses, and he puts a strength curse on Paragon
Adrezill casts chain lightning, but it is quickly counterspelled
Dara supports, and Whitefang begins swinging at Paragon, hitting once
Xodon attacks, and Ardreth attacks but misses, and enters his rage
Siren disappears from the middle, appearing next to Adrezill and applying a brand of control to him, forcing him against his friends
Paragon casts a spell, but nothing happens immediately
Koin toughens himself and prepares for defense against attacks
He then goes in for some attacks, hitting multiple times and striking with a flurry of blows
Adrezill launches a large lightning bolt at everyone, and everyone dodges it, only taking a small amount of damage
Dara heals everyone a little bit
Xodon runs past Adrezill slicing him quickly with a dagger, knocking him out of the brands control
They all notice that the moonlit circle is close to lining up, and Paragon casts a spell
All of them except Koin become stunned or incapacitated
The circle turns red and Paragon hops in, taking a bit of damage from Zoroc’s brand, but is still allowed into the well of souls by way of legendary resistance
Koin is very angry at this and rushes at Siren, slashing him
Siren moves himself over the portal to the well, and Koin attempts to jump at him, smacking him as he leaps across the portal, and stunning him in the process
Siren bends his own blood to cleanse the stun on him and everyone around, then runs after Koin and puts both his hand on him, barely managing to brand him, making Koin defend him at all costs
Koin immediately runs over to Ardreth, attacking him heavily
Zoroc tries to knock Koin out, but gets his bolt deflected back at him
Adrezill drinks a potion, then throws a spell at Siren
Siren takes some damage, and Koin gets knocked out
The brand comes off of Koin and floats on to Dara, who then uses her rod to heal Siren
Whitefang walks up to the portal, looks at Siren and says that he’ll be back
He jumps into the well after cleaving the portal, creating a massive rift, and he falls in, calling Henry’s name as he falls
In the rift, spirits are noticing the opening to the living world, as they wander out, tendrils wrap around them and give them bodies
Various figures wondering about their past, and suddenly a loud chant in unison, chanting the name Verdith
Paragon emerges, controlling a spectral chain and lifting up a black box
He opens the box, and a regal man in spectral robes emerges, and there is silence on the battlefield
The sound of bagpipes sound off, and a kobold emerges, blowing into his bagpipes and bringing down the wrath of the gods smite onto the visage
Paragon is shocked by this, and bursts in laughter
Siren is very angry that paragon didn't bring his people back
He massively widens the portal to the well, and Siren and Paragon float towards each other
Blood begins pouring from everywhere on Siren, and it streams into the well
Paragon tells him to stop, and they begin fighting inside the well
Their energies of yellow and red mixing, and thousands of spirits and souls flowing towards the battle
The souls are gunking together in the energies, forming into one amalgamation
Koin disarms Dara and cuffs her
Whitefang emerges from the well, and he comes out between the two energies, and spirits begin hitting him like punches, as he gets continuously hit, and now spirits are channeling into him and his body is being deformed
What was Whitefang is now a spiritual body of a powerful being
