C2 Session 30
General Summary
They all stand among the graves of the silver masks
Adrezill begins channelling a spell, and teleports them all back onto the ship at sea
Waydrane and Koin’s father are long gone, and they begin planning how to beat Daemon in the race to find the remaining keyshards
Adrezill and Zoroc recall their studies in the fey, and Adrezill begins channeling, with Zoroc helping
He glows and gains information
There are four planes, all anchored to the material plane
Above and below are the fey and shadowfell
In another place, the ethereal plane
The elemental planes of fire, water, earth and air surround the material plane
All of the planes are connected in the same way countries or cities are, and everything is surrounded in a bubble
Outside the bubble is the astral plane, outside of space
Further out lies the realms of the gods and deities, and further are the very outer planes nobody visits
There are many different dimensions, starting at the first with the material plane, and going up as you get further away
The plane of air is clouds and windy, the plane of water is very watery, the plane of earth filled with rock and rubble, and the most dangerous plane of fire, with a bronze city and an environment where every breath is full of ash and dust
The beings of each plane do not share the same motivations as those on the material plane, and there is no circle of life, as the planes thrive off of the environments they were built upon
Most intelligent life within the planes are those who are powerful and exalted, as they have grown and risen inside the second dimension
They tell everyone of the information, and adrezill channels a spell to contact the hollowed god of air
Adrezill hears four words in his head: waiting, watching, healing, growing
They all take the night to rest, and wake up refreshed faced with the decision on what to do next
Adrezill casts see invisibility, and finds steve on the front of the ship practicing his newly learned invisibility spell
He continues searching the rest of the ship, but doesn’t find any scrying orbs
They continue discussing whether or not they should go to the plane of air, but Koin brings the plan to a halt, and Vale agrees that Daemon is too powerful to risk themselves going to the plane of air only to have the keyshard stolen again
Later that night, Koin gathers a few cases of mead and rallies the crew to have some drinks, which he has tainted with truth serum to rat out the mole within the fleet
He looks upon the crew but doesn’t notice anything out of the ordinary
Zoroc hovers through the crowd, but doesn’t notice anything either
Koin returns to the captain’s quarters and looks at the letter from the black suns, examining it with his wand and discovering that it was magical and forged by Daemon, with a scrying sigil on the bottom
He has been listening in on them for months, but now he cannot do so anymore
They talk for a long while, and Adrezill asks the air god another question, who confirms that Xodon has seen the air keyshard in the plane of air
They all definitely believe this, and so Xodon takes the amulet of the planes, and brings them all to the plane of air
They land on limestone, and see a large castle, with wolf spirits guarding it, identical to the one Xodon has inside him
This is not the place Xodon saw a while back
There is a man that appears in front of all of them, but only looks at Xodon
Xodon asks him if he knows where the air keyshard is, and the man says that it seems fate has returned Xodon to him
He asks who the man is, and he says that he is Xodon’s father
He tells Xodon that the plane of air is where he used to live, but that long ago, Xodon wished to be sent to the material plane
Xodon does not know why he would wish for that, but asks again where the keyshard is
His father asks Xodon if he is ready, and what makes him think it would be safer with them than with him
Xodon warns him of the power of Paragon and Daemon and Olga, but his father insists that he cannot give the keyshard to Xodon because his magi is too weak, and that is how the last shard was lost to the enemy
He says that he has seen all that has happened, and Xodon asks why he never intervened, and his father asks if that’s really what he would’ve wanted
Koin, Adrezill, and Zoroc stand behind Xodon stunned, at a loss for words
Xodon says that he might not want his memories of a past life back, and if he really did have the wish to go to the material plane, he regrets it
His father notes that he has lost all of his magi, and that all of his friends have none besides Koin
Xodon asks how he can regain his magi, but his father says it was never really lost
He walks up to Xodon and says he has forgotten, and asks the rest of the group if they know what magi is, but nobody does
His father says that magi is the opposite of arcana, it is primordial, stronger, and draws from the elements
He points to Koin, and tells him to attack him, which Koin does
He charges forward, examines the man, and strikes with all of his force
The sword and punches strike, clearly wounding his airy body
He catches one of his punches, and says that his punches are using magi
He heals his wounds and says that it is also magi
He then conjures an arcane sigil, and punches through it, describing arcana as weak
He then grows in size and says that magi cannot be countered or stopped
He says that they must use magi to defeat their opponents instead of arcana, which they are heavily outclassed in
Magi is the power of life, and it will win the fight
He says that he cannot give them the shard willingly, as it would be irresponsible of him
But if they can take the keyshard, it’s theirs
Xodon asks about the importance of his family and his mother
His father says that Xodon was created by the land, and he is only father in name, as he is to Xodon’s siblings, nodding towards the wolf spirits
They all hear that they need to get stronger in their magi
Koin asks for parting words, and he talks in primordial to one of the wolf spirits to fetch the stone
A spirit comes back with a small watery blue rock that he says they can use to train their magi
Xodon’s father then makes some hand symbols, then they are all teleported back onto the ship
They examine the stone, and Adrezill casts identify on it, but it just refuses to be read
Xodon shifts while holding it, but nothing happens
They try a variety of ways to activate the stone, but they all fail
Xodon eventually strings it up around himself to carry it
Zoroc throws an eldritch blast at it, but it dissipates
Zoroc then uses his life force to strike it, and the floor below it breaks and the rock falls
Although it did not use any of his life force, the strike still had a large impact
Through this, they discover that hemocraft is life essence, which is magi
Magi has many powerful effects, and the rock will train them in those many different methods
Magi is a trained method of finding the solution yourself, thus being stronger, compared to arcana which is a solution handed to you which is much weaker
There are no shortcuts in magi, and that is why it is so powerful
