C2 Session 33
General Summary
Xodon gathers the few shifting grung and tells them to gather everyone who wants to fight against Dragol
Koin calls out to Xodon as he is walking below the ship, and talks to him about the doubts he has of himself and his leadership
He admits that Xodon is right, and that the only way to stop the rampant corruption in Dragol and its spread, they need to clean up Dragol and work together to do so
He says that they are the last stand for Aezraghn, they are brothers and the shield against Dragol
Xodon asks Koin to promise him that if Koin does anything to backtrack on Xodon’s plans, Xodon will be allowed to shut him down
Koin wants to focus military in Dragol first, then the citizens when the military are gone
Xodon appreciates his effort, but emphasizes that those who choose not to leave in the five days he gives them becomes the enemy, and they need to be struck down
Koin agrees begrudgingly, and they split off to continue planning for the assault
As they talk in the captain's quarters, they hear an ominous knock on the door
Xodon and Koin try to sneakily approach the door, but Zoroc grabs it and pulls it open, revealing Daemon standing there
Xodon tries to lunge at him, but he waves his hand and Xodon disappears
He says hello, and says that he believes they have something he needs, or at least he hopes
Xodon reappears, and asks why he is here even though it's very obvious
Xodon tells him to go to the air plane and get it if he wants it
Daemon seems slightly surprised that they do not have it, and promptly sees himself out, walking backwards through a portal and disappearing
Koin uses detect magic to see if the portal left anything behind, and senses a sensor he left there
Out of pure rage at what just happened, Xodon attempts to rip the door off, but fails somehow
Koin rips it off and hands it to Xodon, who promptly chucks it into the ocean vigorously
A voice pops into Xodon’s head, its daemon asking if they told them the same thing about just being able to take the shard
He is just angry at him, and then paragon and reia telling him to either fight or not fight Daemon
Paragon tells Xodon he’ll open a portal for only him to come through and fight Daemon, but only him can come and nobody else, otherwise Paragon will lock them in the astral plane
As Xodon argues with them and tries to tell them what’s going on, Rafwar just sneaks around them and waltzes through the portal, and it immediately closes
They try to rush to get the book of planes and retrieve Rafwar, but the portal opens back up, and Rafwar falls out, bloody and torn
Carved into his wings and back is the name HENRY
In his talons are skin and blood that are not his, so he definitely tried to fight
There is a huge hole in his chest, and he is not breathing
Koin calls Dara up and immediately has her revive him
She casts it and the wounds on his body begin to heal
He is now living, but is not conscious
Koin carries him to his room, and he wakes up for a second, only to utter “my bag”, before passing out again
Koin grabs his bag after returning him to his room, and they all gather in the captain’s quarters, staring at the bag, which is glowing
Adrezill casts detect magic, and discerns that it is not magic of the material plane, but also that whatever it is is wrapped in illusion magic, but the source of the blinding light does not belong to any one school, but is not of this plane
Koin asks them all if he should open the bag, to which Xodon asks why he hasn’t yet?
Koin tries to approach it methodically, but Xodon just opens it, revealing nothing
He reaches in the bag and feels something, so he grabs it
Adrezill dispels the illusion, and as it melts away, the blinding light surrounds what is now the air keyshard
Xodon hands the shard to Koin for safekeeping, and they all wonder where to put it and what to do next
Xodon messes around with the keyshard for a bit
As they all discuss, Koin hears Daemon’s voice in his head “that wasn’t very nice”
Then to everyone as if he’s there: “now i have to deal with it”
They look out onto the ship to see Daemon hovering above the main mast
He raises his hand out and says there will be no bloodshed if they give it to him
The environment is eerily quiet, as few are on deck, and the group senses noone but Daemon
He turns his head for a second, and then turns back to them, saying that they keep making things more complicated, and that he needs to go and deal with something else
He opens a clear portal, and some of them see through it, seeing the rest of Daemon’s group, and an environment somewhere in Aezraghn
They hear a gutteral warcry, that can be easily recognized as Sun’s voice
He scoffs at them and walks through the portal, and it disappears
Adrezill gathers everyone, and within an instant they are all on a shore, with some houses in front of them, and the entirety of Daemon’s group is slowly closing in on Sun, who looks very ready to bring an end to this
Most of them are hovering above him or standing nearby, and Olga begins walking towards him
The group notices them all arriving, but do not act
Koin begins crossing the bridge in front of them, and as he is about to touch the land on the other side, Daemon tells him not to interfere, and he runs into an invisible wall-like force
Paragon draws a line around Sun and Olga, constructing another force barrier
Daemon gets up and walks to the other side of the wall, asking Koin if he has no honor
Koin looks angrily at him, then begrudgingly drops his field of darkness
Xodon tries to run up and teleport through the wall, but just slams into the wall, since it cannot be teleported through
Daemon scoffs at them, and Olga continues marching towards Sun, his green flames burning brighter
He reaches sun, cleaving him and slashing him, near bloodying him
Vale tries to slash the wall, but it doesn’t work
Sun takes out his scimitars, attacking Olga with multiple attacks
He rushes at Olga, laying into him with an infinite flurry of attacks, with multiple blinding flashes of light coming from his fists as he furiously strikes his opponent
Xodon shifts in preparation, and Zoroc attempts to dispel the wall, but it doesn’t work
Adrezill bores a tunnel for them all, and they all begin walking through
Sun looks over to Koin, shaking his head as if to ward them off
He then begins shifting into his dragon form, red scales forming and red smoke emanating from the mark on his back
He has gone completely feral and begins viciously attacking Olga with his claws
Paragon looks at Koin before saying “that honor will kill you”, and appearing behind him, 9 circles appear, as Paragon casts power word kill on Sun
Adrezill counterspells, daemon counterspells, Zoroc counterspells, and Xdri counterspells
Adrezills counterspell turns into a fireball, and everyone around gets hit by it
As the aftermath of the fireball recedes, Olga stands in front of a pile of dus, and turns towards them
Daemon laughs and raises his hand, dissipating the force wall
Xodon goes in for an attack and hits Olga with a small attack
Daemon banishes all of the zxaralites with a wave of his hand
Adrezill runs up to reia, who stops it and gets into his head
Vale rushes at Xdri
Koin reaches Daemon and tries to attack, but is shunted
Zoroc moves out of the tunnel, and Koin returns
Daemon locks them both in a box, and Koin sees the vision of his entire group and sun, bloody and dead on the ground
Daemon looks at him fearfully, asking if it was all worth it
Koin laughs at him, thinking its all a trick, and teleports behind him and slits his throat
In that instant, Daemon turns into Henry, and he dies
In the background, Daemon repeats the words “look at what you did” louder and more vicious each time
Koin thought it was an illusion at first, but now it seems too real
His mind is trying desperately to rationalize what’s happening, but it doesn’t exist
Koin is left alone in this state, realizing that the death of all of those around him is his fault
Daemon appears, and walks forward with his hand outstretched
He tells Koin to give the shard to him, that they are brothers and he wants to help him
Everyone else sees the darkness around them vanish, and Koin is on his knees
Daemon gets up and says “on second thought, you can keep it” and he vanishes into dust
Seconds later, paragon and the others vanish as well
Xodon walks to Koin and embraces him
Adrezill grabs the shard, and Koin looks at it with complete and utter resentment
Soon after, the Zxaralites reappear
Zoroc tells Xodon that they need to get back to the ship so they can figure this out
Koin has been left in a state similar to Rafwar, a shell of a former man
Xodon tells Koin that they will make it through, but Koin does not want to go to war anymore, he mutters sentences of nonsense, before passing out from the stress
Xodon says that he needs to suck it up and fight, so that he doesn’t end up breaking their promise
He instructs the Zxaralites to pick up Koin, and they all teleport back to the ship
