RECENT HAPPENINGS

WASTELAND INFESTATION
- Undead army raised in WASTELANDS, invading already weakened cities of Oroccid
ELDRITCH HORRORS Revealed in NALIED DESERT
- Star Spawn and worse WIPE OUT LLEGOSERT (ruins of ship and bodies of PANCHEEM and FLIMP found within), Elasfar nowhere to be seen (fled to Thindriline to look for Black Tear)
- Swarming over desert, taking out travelers and hunting Hobgoblins, Orcs and all other tribes
- Palm Point under attack**
CULT OF MALAR
- Renews assault on Eldath, second force hits Stosan Academy, emptying out the school as everyone flees
THINDRILINE
- Group arrives in Thindriline, immediately sees the throngs of REFUGEES from all over Terus, told the city is one of the last refuges from the current Aberration invasion
- They are told about Obreriault being invaded and taken over by Mindflayers, its people fleeing to Miraxalim
- They search for Elasfar in the nearby Thindrline Ampitheater, where Bord starts to feel a new hunger/power awaken in him
- Gorrazar meets a new member of the Shady/ Illicit Goods Dealers - Pharmekeians , named Thydrak Hohann (Dwarven M), who tells him about recent events in Domunz and offers to sell him more drugs
- Da'ath especially is unnerved when Bord accidentally shows some of his new psionic powers in the Ampitheater
- The group heads toward the Thindriline Inn following a rumor of Elasfar being there, on the way, passing crowded of refugees camping in the streets and setting up vagrant markets in the once-beautiful promenade, they are ATTACKED by more Star Spawn, seemingly drawn to BORD, as they demand Bord go with them
- Thindriline comes under attack, Aberrations DRAWN to Bord
- Attack on the refugees Cthulhu Star Spawn, Lesser Star Spawn, Beholder maybe take out 1
- They battle the Star Spawn, with Bord unleashing new abiltiies, including a wave of darkness that drains both allies and enemies alike with a psionic sickness. Following the darkness, the Star Spawn disappear, and the group argues about what to do with Bord, with Da'ath coming close to killing him, until Bord cries out that he is not controlling it.
- They are soon joined by Elasfar, who had heard about the battle and came to help/greet his friends. Elasfar is accompanied by a blue-skinned alien the others were told about, and were concerned was Judai'aruk.
- They are surprised to learn it is their old ally, Navarax Navarax Sheet, who saved Elasfar on his desert journey to Thindriline and accompanied him here, till he found the Black Tear. As he leaves, he gives the group something to contact him with (a Dagger? similar to SPEAR?) and exits
- The group tells Elasfar what happened to his crew and the ship, and he grieves, and they go back to discussing BORD
- Eventually they decide to head to the Inn to have a drink before deciding what to do next. BORD convinces them all (or does it quietly? I cannot remember) to take a mystery drug with him, to which they all agree to do.
- They all take the drug and fall asleep, and the DM then learned they were FORGET ME NOTS, and we ended the session with everyone losing their memory for d4 hours.
- Mak'Ti blips back in (and maybe Narinn)'
- All have memory loss for 2 hours and believe they are living a different life (see beginning of Session 93)

JUDAI'ARUK'S NEW PLAN
COMPLETED PARTS
- JUDAI'ARUK Taking Control of the Cabal of Cthulhu
- 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, Judai'aruk after two weeks is confident he has worked out a variation of the ritual using these stones
- Without Bord or his child, Judai'aruk confident he can either blackmail Bord with his kidnapped family members who he just returned from the Elemental Plane of Air with, or just sacrifice Bord's father, ALSO a Bard
- Judai'aruk enhancing missing pieces of ritual components with Shards of Living Gate T'nin STOLE from Da'ath at the Gimloth house
- He has given the signal for "The trap" to keep Forces of Terus, including SPEER, at bay
STILL TO DO
- Currently, he is in Obreriault to collect the parasite from the Mind Flayers, the last step needed for his ritual to become an ELDRITCH LITCH to perform the ceremony Eldritch-lich - there until LUCOM 20th
- After the ritual, Judai'aruk is heading to LAKE URDA for THE AWAKENING, feeling confident he will finally be ready, and having already summoned hordes of warriors there to protect it already, including the Sahuagin
- T'NIN can decide during the battle/ritual whether to help his old allies or not
THE TRAP TO KEEP FORCES OF TERUS AT BAY
- Mind Flayers invade DOMUNZ, with World Brain touching down on Obreriault with main assault force (keep Magiault, Miraxilim and Obreriault at bay)
- Aboleth forces invades the Lancu Sea, attacking the smaller islands while Main Force attacks Chalinos
