Session 85

General Summary

SESSION BEGINS around 9:30am on Lucom 4th, battling the ARCH-HAG inside the Throne Room of the City of Starlight.

MARK will start the session down in the hells, speaking to MOLOCH, who has decided to torture Da'ath not only by purchasing his contract, but by making Mark the arbiter of his will on Terus, including "handling" his new property, the Githyanki Da'ath, who owes him a magic item (has to be greater than common) on the morning of Lucom 4th (the day Mark's allies will be on when he returns to them in the Feywild). Moloch demands that Da'ath kneel before Mark with the item raised before him in supplication, and say, "For the glory of our Lord, for whom I owe my pitiful life." (if he should fight this, he will be punished with a "Cummydingus" TATTOO on his forehead above the new dagger tattoo)

Reports from a the head of the garrison in Chalinos claims the coasts of Terus have been terrorized by Aboleth's of late
Talk of awaiting reinforcements from the Feywild to send aid to embattled strongholds of Terus
Most recent message says scouts have learned there are dozens and dozens of Star Spawn in the desert, and they are approaching Llegosert.

RETURNING FROM THE FEYWILD

CUER can cast the DREAM OF THE BLUE VEIL spell to take them back

Time Warp

While time seems to pass normally in the Feywild, characters might spend a day there and realize, upon leaving the plane, that less or more time has elapsed everywhere else in the multiverse.
Whenever a creature or group of creatures leaves the Feywild after spending at least 1 day on that plane, you can choose a time change that works best for your campaign, if any, or roll on the Feywild Time Warp table. A wish spell can be used to remove the effect on up to ten creatures. Some powerful fey have the ability to grant such wishes and might do so if the beneficiaries agree to subject themselves to a geas spell and complete a quest after the wish spell is cast.

HELL

Mark and Moloch discuss Da'ath and Mark's new role as Da'ath's keeper and taker of the MAGIC ITEMS
Moloch tells Mark how the magic items will be received, through a portal in his butt, that opens when Da'ath says ""For the glory of our Lord, for whom I owe my pitiful life."
Moloch very annoyed by Mark, and sends him back to the Arch-Hag fight

THRONE ROOM

Finish the battle with the ARCH-HAG
In a burst of WILD MAGIC, Vrae turns into her small RAVEN FORM, luckily, she is sane enough not to try to PECK anyone
Helped out by Lady Shandria
Afterwords, she lets Mak'Ti rummage through her books, as she reads out correspondence from TERUS, alerting the group that she was the midway point for messages to QUEEN TITANIA, and nothing has gotten through recently
They learn LLEGOSERT is nervous about encroaching ABERRATIONS in the desert, asks for aid as they worry they are going to be attacked soon
Mark pulls Da'ath aside to tell him what he learned from MOLOCH and they try to do the deed in PRIVATE (though many group members see it) - both are not happy with arrangement
Lady Shandria promises to get word to Queen Titania and send forces to Terus as soon as they can
Cuer offers to bring them immediately back to Terus using the spell, DREAM OF THE BLUE VEIL (they head to meditation room to do so)
Discussion about where to go, decide to try to get to Llegosert, so head to NALIED DESERT near area Mak'Ti knew
Before leaving, Lady Shandria shows Gorrazar and Mark the Mirror of Reflected Pasts, Gorrazar passes but has no need of its reward, but unfortunately Mark Fails
She does offer the group a gift, and they decide on the RING OF SHOOTING STARS
Mak'Ti also takes two Potions of Disguise from Lady Shandria that the Arch-Hag had been brewing
She also gifts BORD a LONGHORN of the Eladrin as they love music and Bards
The group then allows Cuer to lead them through the Ritual of the spell and they arrive back in Terus

NALIED DESERT - NIGHT - LUCOM 16th

They lose two weeks in the transition
Mark, Da'ath, Vrae and Narinn return with NO MEMORY of their time in the Feywild (potentially VRAE too)
COLD
As they realize the time lost due to the position of the MOON in the sky (now only 4 days till FULL MOON), they realize Da'ath owes 2 more magic items to MOLOCH
Since Mark and Da'ath do not remember, Mark explains the ritual to him once more and they do it in front of everyone (using the TWO Potion of Disguise Mak'Ti just got from Lady Shandria)
Session End

SESSION ENDS around 9:30pm on Lucom 16th, after arriving back on Terus in the Nalied Desert (2 weeks later)

Immediately attacked by STAR SPAWN
Mark blips out
Mak'Ti briefly blips out

T'nin defects to Judai'aruk, having regained his memories, bringing the Vedalken the bottle of LUKAS HELVIIREN, who T'nin overheard speaking about his master, the Djinn Genie Keth. They torture Lukas and get the location of Keth, and they head to EXPA to demand wishes from her, bringing the might of the Cabal alongside them.
Next he finds the mortat remains of DREW SCROLL, intent on raising him from the dead using the ROD OF RESURRECTION stolen by the X-CULTISTS from the Cathedral to Boldrei in BOLUDO, so he can cast the MASS RAISE DEAD spell he created over 100 years ago
Next, he sets RENARD to find Eldath and STEAL THE CARAFE, fulfilling the VISION
At first Judai'aruk wishes for Cthulu to be awoken and freed, but not even Keth has that power. Next, he wishes for all the recombined ORRERY of the WANDERER, which she reluctantly grants him, massively weakening herself in order to save LUKAS's life. The half drow escapes, but not before he sees Judai'aruk kill Keth in her weakened state, having used so much power to gather and reconstitute the remaining pieces of the Orerry.
Stole the KRAKEN SKULL in front of the YAW SHIP
Next he has GAULDENAL head to GIMLOTH to kidnap Myrra (Speer member for the ritual), now has both SAPHIELLE and Myrra for the ritual, may use one of them as bargaining chip
Next, he sends the ABISHAI to Magiault to Steal the POWER STONE (slowed by lack of Mak'Ti's eye) - if Group gets it, he'll blackmail them with BORD's FATHER/ family - they STEAL other 2 STONES to see if they will work
(currently in ELEMENTAL PLANE OF AIR TO KIDNAP BORD'S FAMILY)

STILL TO DO

Second to last, he needs to find either Cosa's baby or Bord for the ritual (will kidnap BORD's DAD as failsafe)
Finally, he he has the Mind Flayers bring him a parasite, and he becomes an ELDRITCH LITCH to perform the ceremony Eldritch-lich
Then he sets the TRAP
T'NIN can decide during the battle/ritual whether to help his old allies or not
