Previous: Session 123; Next: Session 125
Start: 23rd of Qatima, late morning, in the Evolarium with Cedahlia Ozmil. Aoife Sweeney has Fate Twister and so all the gang has at least 1 Coda each. Level up to 20, long rested, ready to banish Beskem using Nesdin's Kindred Veil.
The party passed time in the Chimerazon, and on the 24th of Qatima returned to the Court of Oresco to check on the status of the court. There, they saw a rave sprung up across the region, with the shattered prismatic structures throwing lines and prisms of light everywhere, simulating a constant light show. At the back of the court, in the ruins of The Colony main palace, there was a plaza which housed a number of corner booths all about. In the corner corner booth, sat Sir Bearington like a mafia don with 3 teddy bear henchmen. The party also observed a fiery insect-Fey (Caelanis Hundox) leaving the table of bears. Sir Bearington's 3rd teddy bear henchman gave the party an approving nod, and the party left.
Plane shifting to Castle Darkstone, the gang spoke with Brax Bonebrute, Daxar Darkstone, and Fozias Frightforge about the current state of the world: they said that yesterday, Beskem proclaimed Bill's Bimbos enemies of mortal life, as they interfered with the protection of living beings by running the Celestials out of Resonaegis. Now, the Monstrosities and Demons pouring out from the south and west from Bellua's influence are growing in voracity and number. The Olessar is the only society delayed in giving a decision, but their need for protection grows each hour, and the Hydra Collective may ally with Beskem soon (internally they are divided on this as well).
Aoife Sweeney sent a few Sendings out: Magnus "Johnson" Thaumalor shared that he woudl gladly aid the gang with whatever they needed, Qafiali's failed again, and Bill Brouwen shared he was terrified after being interrogated by Celestials and was now under light house arrest in Sedesend. The gang then Plane Shifted to Qir'ellan'alak and with the help of Azaetha Starstride, geared up buying potions and spell components. Additionally, they traveled inside the Folding Halls and reconvened with Mortain Donnaden to help him retrieve the Kepenek of the Fallen. At that, Mortain Donnaden summoned the remaining 3 fragments of Hieronymous' soul and the gang fought them: first Pestilence, then Bloodshed. The most powerful, Desolation, appeared before them last.
End: 24th of Qatima, midday, in Folding Halls with Mortain Donnaden fighting the last aspect of Hieronymous' soul. In initiative, on the Champion of Desolation's turn.
