A Witch and Flicker for being so quick
After the fight with the Xivvian, the appearance of not just one, but three witches the BMG head towards Terminand Zand, the capital of the Blue Helegu.
Grand Tumen Nogai Khan is leading one of his battalions on patrol in the Terminand Basin. The group talk at cross purposes and convince the Great General that they are part of the entertainment for the Great Market on the plains before the capital. With passpotts now indelibly inked, the 1,000 strong battalion passes by although the Shaman accompanying the Grand Tumen takes a swipe at the raven form Essen, but the feathered Essen evades it - just.
As they arrive at the Great Market at last light, another extraterrestrial pulse of white diamond sharp energy, infused with cold colours erupts from the distant Terminand Zand, striking the sky above. From this close (5km) the BMG can see spectral figures descending and for a brief moment a huge war machine in the clouds. They know this is the Ampitheatre of Entanglement doing this.
The Great Market is a filled with entertainers, traders, travellers, adventurers, fortune hunters, cultists and agents from across the Hadean continent. This includes wrestling fire giants, Hentriacontagon Fold monks, Orcs from the Orcish Gunn Confederation, Semudan agents, Radiant Cost traders, Carne por la machina mercenaries, Axis Gnomes, a diabolical agent clad in human skin, Promorian artificers and many more.
Gimblenock gets high on mushrooms, Gundark ponders bloody thoughts, Teller is overwhelmed, Dwayne is wondering if he'll meet teenage spawn he didn't know he had and Essen is forever schematically thinking and planning.
Teller finds himself alone somewhere there should be multitudes and face to face with a grotesque wooden and flesh statue over thirty feet high. He puts a green day of the dead mask on that is placed in front of him and gains his extra level, in addition to being the eyes and ears for Sili. Bruja Argentis informs him of his responsibilities and soul debt and he freaks out, but is kind of happy also.
Gundark has an interesting adventure.
Mama Tet appeared to Gundark in the Otherwhere on a the banks of the deep jungle river that on Holocene dwells in the Han-Hausa with no stars and a full moon illuminating fluorosecent plants.
As she walks Mama Tet (the grandmother) trails Lette (the mother) and Letetia (the maiden).
“A young Yaga once asked me, what must I do to understand the Liminal?’ I said to her, ‘You should observe death. Consider skulls. Consider what it is to go to sleep and never wake up.’ I don’t believe I need to give this advice to you, Slayer.”
Tet, Lette, Letetia – “You believe you can slay me. Not without the axe of the Dead Man promised you by that 3 twatted hooker.”

Grundark says mean things and finallly rages, attacking Mama Tet. Every attack results in an explosion of hawk feathers and the seperation of Tet into her three selves - was there a Witch Queen Toreja who wasn’t a simulacrum deliberately set up by a weaker witch to stop 2 other Witch Queens gaining god like powers they would retain on the material plane?
