Previous: Session 095; Next: Session 097
Start: 7th of Flosculus, mid morning, in the false office within the Enchanted Edifice facing down with the archmage and Hydra Collective member Caen Zauber.
An intense battle with Caen Zauber and his simulacrum began, and spells and counterspells were traded, most notably Caen Zauber's signature - the double Power Word Kill - was countered by Nesdin and Crax Goobadink. The simulacrum was disposed of quickly, and after Aoife Sweeney spotted the invisible Caen Zauber, Rohtagels smited him into submission.
Once he surrendered, he allowed Bill's Bimbos to ask him some questions. He told the party that he'd never seen the Dohwar in his drawer before, and that he suspected that whoever stole the Infinite Scroll from him replaced it with the Dohwar. He also claimed not to have knowledge of the plot to destroy the Ends of Empyrean, but showed sympathy towards the cause, as he would seek to draw on the power of the Deities.
The party took the last Solithar Shard in the form of a ring on Caen Zauber, and combined it with the Solithar Ring, joining the last piece and recreating the Far Soul. The rings rotated and expanded, and in a flash of light, the naked form of Ronin appeared before them. He scrambled to summon his clothes and spellbooks, which he hastily equipped. He greeted the party and learned just how long he'd been imprisoned within the Far Soul (thousands of years, far before the Cataclysm). They filled him in on the history, and asked him to join them (which he agreed, as he didn't know anyone else in this time). He then kicked out Caen Zauber's window and jumped out with Bill's Bimbos.
Outside, Nesdin heard Qafiali's voice, who thanked him for bringing Caen Zauber back to his tower so Qafiali could steal his Book of Vile Darkness, whose existence Caen Zauber had described within the earlier stolen Infinite Scroll. Caen Zauber teleported away to check on his Clone (location unknown), and the party was left unsettled. They went over to Tilted Tower and recovered in Inazious the Inebriated's wine cellar. During the night, Aoife Sweeney cast Dream to communicate with Magnus "Johnson" Thaumalor. She explained how Qafiali was orchestrating many events recently leading to him taking Caen Zauber's items and attempting to destroy the barrier. Magnus "Johnson" Thaumalor informed her that he was invited to lend his power alongside the Hydra Collective and other notable spellcasters in a concerted effort to repair the Ends of Empyrean, including Qafiali. This was happening above Solithar's Spire.
End: 8th of Flosculus, waking up in the wine cellar of Tilted Tower with Ronin and Inazious the Inebriated. Morning of the Hydra Collective's ritual to repair the Ends of Empyrean
