Previous: Session 090; Next: Session 092
Start: 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.
The fight continued, Rohtagels recovered and got on the dragon's back while Nesdin and Arwa Hathspelt swam to his aid. The group defeated the Elder Brain Dragon, and the pond settled.
Regrouping, the Dohwar remained imprisoned in their arcane string confines, despite the elder brain being defeated. Investigating, Aoife Sweeney discovered this was another branch of the Nexus Encephalon, and in order to free the Dohwar they would have to defeat the entire collective. Several other connections were detected: one to the Void, one to Seraphar, and one to Al'tehrun. The Void location was among howling winds and darkness, the Al'tehrun connection was in a nice office, and the Seraphar connection was a pool surrounded by White Flame braziers, and inside that pool were the two Elder Brain corpses Bill's Bimbos killed (Velkrazar and Waters Eend).
And so, Bill's Bimbos used the Radiance Wand and similar objects to Plane Shift to Seraphar. They landed on a floating rock island amongst the sea of clouds that dominated this plane. They observed pegasi and Ki-rin flying, dragons soaring above, and the city of Sanctumyr built into the sides of its mountain ahead of them - the capital of Seraphar standing tall and proud.
Calliope, Dennis, and Dohwar flew up first, and upon approaching the city, were intercepted by a squad of 4 Planetars (similar to Olizan). They all wore half black half white togas and wielded identical golden spears (copies of Draunspaer). They asserted that Calliope go with them, and stated that the rest of the party would be "handled". They escorted him into the city.
Moments later, the rest of the party were beset upon by a squadron of 7 Valkyries riding flying Ki-rin. They fought, 3 mounts and riders escaped, 4 riders were and a mount were killed, and the remaining 3 mounts remained. Rohtagels miraculously convinced the surviving Ki-rin to give them rides to Sanctumyr.
Calliope, Dennis, and Dohwar were led to a cleared out barracks and put in a featureless room with only a table inside. They were left with 2 Planetar guards who answered none of Calliope's questions. A Solar entered, and took Dohwar, as well as asked one Planetar to rally defenses as the surviving Valkyries had reported the party hadn't been eliminated yet.
End: 25th of Venusta, midday, with Calliope and Dennis in an interrogation room with a Planetar while the rest of Bill's Bimbos flew up to Sanctumyr on their recovered Ki-rin mounts. Dohwar was taken further into the city by the Legion of the Illuminate.
