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.”   Flicker Flicker Flicker

Grundark has the heavy crystal hafted double handed war axe of the Dwarven Emperor Dokholi Zhelyazo (Iron God), last Dwarven Emperor of the Slongalaktika Empire

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?

  • Entariath’s controlling sister and 2 subservient sisters break free of the weakening Sigil used by Mama Tet to bind them – they immediately begin preparing for ascent as they still possess Hecate’s Ascension Ritual - THE ASCENSION RITUAL the Witch Queens tried to use 500 years ago to ascend and obtain Elder God like power, and the reason for the Witch War that destroyed the Blue Star Empire of Azur Semudan , the Sarpadian Empire and Kingdom of Argos , Mayuran civilisation, Janto Hegemony, Sun People Sphere, the last Major Telehetti Circle and the Elven led Sousarn Khaganate

  • Sili’s 3 clones split and immediately calling in the debts of the Echoes in triplicate – they’re in trouble but they will call all their debts in triplicate even if it means finishing the Echoes as known.
  • Other Witches immediately begin summoning armies, debts and cultists to make war to try and claim the Ascension Ritual for themselves – Adodean Oriswin, Ganymede, Letri Zohl, Sim Arclight,Tochzoh, Deng Guanting, Cloudrythym, Dirig of Gunn, Hemte of Liaon, Urieth of the Jirilhanae, Dexi Uc'thaiokl'gness, Bruja Lumineer, Sextus Vedrix Tavi, Goro, Goro and Praestigus of Thronstronium.
There's a lot of confusion as Grundark Flickers and seperates again and again and again, causing Dwayne much angst   After a lot of "come downs" the next last light there is another light pulse and Essen goes full logical elf and identifies that it is emanating from the Mirror Host quarter of Terminand Zand some 5 miles distant.   Recognising that crossing the five miles to Terminand Zand is an insane idea, as the BMG are not the only powerful hominds looking to gain access to the heart of the Blue Helegu and the Blue Helegu run the largest empiire on Holocene , Dwayne realises since he was the Starless Communion representative he has an in with the Hentriacontagaon Fold Monks who are at the Great Market and were also witnesses at the Palanquin Convocation.   The Hentriacontagon Fold monks fold time backwards one fold at a time doubling the years with each fold and after 13 (lucky 13) folds take the BMG back to atime 6,000 years ago when the Alin Empire was in full civil war mode, fending off multiple rebellions, two invasions, an existential crisis invasion from the the Void with one of the factions aligned to the Carkade Empire. This all happened to the backdrop of the last major Discontinuance Event prior to the one occurring today.   You all learn that the Star Dragon Elder God was deliberately put into a experiantial coma, meaning with the Star Dragon's coma and near non-existant collapse that ended the major Discontinuance Events and took an Elder God off the board, contributing to the spiralling annihilation of Existence - the Undefining. There are sounds of elephantine trumpets accompanying this revelation.   Using a teleportation circle that hasn't existed for 6,000 years the BMG with the help of the Hentriacontagon Fold monks are transported to the Anaconda World of the Alin in the present day, because they're real smart and worked out that the Ampitheatre of Entaglement exists as one object in thirteen different locations (Holocene and the twelve Alin homeworlds) at the same time and accessing it from another world might be easier (it won't but you're now on an Alin homeworld - yay!)   The sky is nothing more than a boiling and scalding skin barely hundreads of metres above, as White Wasps press down against a planet wide force field, pushing down and down and down, destroying existence behind them.   The ground is broken and thrust upwards at irregular intervals, an ammonia and metallic smell is everywhere,   A war machine, massive and "paused" is ahead, the BMG get inside with the help of the Machinist moments before three Cthulu creatures made of giant elliptoid brain and tentacles of at least 30" in length travel in a wedge, using reverse gravity to lift and smash everything not nailed down.   A giant motherf***ing Dhole erupts to attack the War Machine the BMG control one whip appendage each to fight it off but take giant amounts of necrotic damage that kill Teller until everyone realises how weak he is and save him.   Next game - you're all trapped somewhere you have no way to escape from - fun
"The Alin are coming! The Alin are coming!  Oh, and the Great Old one too.  Happy days."
War Machine - No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own
