Session 090

Previous: Session 089; Next: Session 091

Start: 17th of Venusta, morning, in Troubridge with Lumina Emberspell and Calliope returned to life. They will be at their full faculties by the 21st of Venusta.

Bill's Bimbos spent a week of downtime in Troubridge with Calliope recovering from the Raise Dead. They said goodbye to Old Amber Frostlight, with the whole party now reunited.

The group did some shopping at Veil and Vault, with Calliope trading his Electric Bass Guitar with a Lyre of Building. They spoke with Mico Piko, who still could not find the escaped Rahadin. Asking about Earthsplitter, Mico Piko only had passable knowledge. Calliope insisted he is the new headmaster, and Mico Piko went to consult the bylaws, but asking Calliope to remain in town if he intended to be a leader here. Vijkastra Misseer and Arix returned to the Iron City of Dis, continuing their research and training, as well as evaluating the new Archdevil of Wrath, Burnie Hathspelt, and how that will change the 5th circle. Additionally, in this downtime, the group teleported to and from Castle Darkstone, and despite Daxar Darkstone clocking the magical aid given to Rohtagels in their wrestling bouts, he granted Rohtagels temporary usage of his familial

On the 24th of Venusta, Bill's Bimbos returned to Sedesend, with Calliope searching for information while the others remained hidden as they were wanted in connection to the unlawful release of Ereus Sol'ahn. He spoke with Magnus "Johnson" Thaumalor, who could not detect Earthsplitter on the grounds of Astralreach Academy, but took the theory of Earthsplitter being the source of the green pillar and the cracking of the Ends of Empyrean to the research team assigned to it (he is on that team). He also conferred with Caen Zauber, the Enchantment principal, about the involvement of Amalar Crys. Magnus "Johnson" Thaumalor reported that Caen Zauber would investigate himself, but assured Magnus "Johnson" Thaumalor of Amalar Crys's character.

After being informed of the desire for a meeting by Magnus "Johnson" Thaumalor, Calliope ascended to the Summit Ward, to the Citadel, and met with Kaelen Dawnbringer. She asked him some questions about the group who busted Ereus Sol'ahn out (Arwa Hathspelt, Aoife Sweeney, and Rohtagels). Calliope distanced himself from them, lying that he did not know their current whereabouts and circled around her questions about them. She dismissed him, and informed him that the current master of coin was seeking him out as well: Samphith Goldenbeard. Calliope left, and did not take that meeting. 

Reconvened outside the city limits, the group decided to plane shift to the Chimerazon, to Waters Eend to investigate Morgo the Maleficent's connection to the place (attuned to her Cubic Gate) and reunite Dohwar with their collective. They plane shifted, arriving just on the edge of the ponds. Approaching the largest pond, they spotted a purple glow diffused through the water of the largest pond, and several bright purple lights on the surface. Coming into focus, the surface lights were arcane thread holding dozens of Dohwar in place, motionless on the water's surface. Arriving at the shore, a mass began moving under the surface. Breaching, a gargantuan, decayed, headless corpse of Morgo the Maleficent with a horrific growth of brain matter and tentacles on her back emerged, and engaged with the party. 

In initiative, Rohtagels and several summons flew out over the pond to get within melee, while the rest of the party lobbed spells from 100 feet away, at the shore behind a wall of force and a wall of ice. Rohtagels and the summons were overwhelmed by the tentacles and psychic power of the Elder Brain Dragon, all being grappled, attacked and some drowned. Rohtagels was dragged under the water in the clutches of this massive aberration dragon.

End: 25th of Venusta, mid morning. In the Chimerazon at Waters Eend, engaged with the Elder Brain Dragon (headless corpse of Morgo the Maleficent). Rohtagels was pulled under the surface, and everyone else is at the shore 100 feet away.
