Blue group. The question thing.
Allen's question: "How can I break the gray warlock pacts... is killing Asmodeus the best way, and if so, how to do that..." (a gray warlock). [
Arwel was helping buiuld Tatenda Nos. She feels herself drifting out of her normal dreams... in that dream she's in glorious battle, storming enemy
territory... can tell she's in hell, but this place is even more intense. The deepest pit of hell... She senses other halpers bu its not really about her.
She hears herself call out 'For Tudor!" And charges intoa big structure of stone... its the great infernal library. As she charges in there are som
devil servents that she takes down. She finds herself chargin deeper and deeper in, has to leave sebastian behind. Finds contract after contract that has
been filed... and she searches, and she sees it and knows its Tudors contract... and she takes it and she unleashes her fury on it. Breaths flames on the
book... like a flamestrike breath. And she feels exultation at having destroyed the binding... and as she's ready to turn around and leave, she feels the
room darken and says "you would dare to steal my property?" and around her there's a 13 foot tall demon and she knows its asmodeus: "You'll pay for your
crimes, you bitch!" and its cuthbert talking through Arwel.
A bit shaken... because yeah, in the dream she was fearless, but she realizes the magnitude of the situation. she was in
Paul's question: "How can the world be set back to its natural state." Asked of Mlora. Kith's opinion of natural state: how it was before he started
serving Grazzt. He Breaks off from 'the big V' (Vance?), does so on pleasant terms.
In his dream, he is not himself.feels he's someone else form long ago. finds himself standing amongst a congregation of the gods. A conclave... He sees
them all seated arounda large table and he's seated there as well. He sees 21 gods... recognizes all the gods of old. And he hears pelor (Who looks as
ancient as he did... but mayeb a bit younger in the dream.) 'Enough of this; let us bring this to a vote. All those in favor of Tharis Dune's
imprisonment.' Kith feels a sorrow... like its unfortunate it had to come to this. its unanimous, except for him. And he hears his feminine voice
and it says "I can never support this. There must be another way. We can find another way." Pelor says 'It is decided.' kith stands up and walks away
filled with fury, not saying another word.
Scene changes: He feels wetness on his cheeks as it rolls down... its outdoors in this clearing, and sees in the distance the other gods bring a man
(tharis dune) forward chained in shackles. He's kinda standing there resignedly, as though he's got an inner peace... he's a very calm composed guy by
his nature, for sure, Kith feels. Sees as two of the gods step forward and hold his arms, Erythnul and Gruumsh step forward and each take one of his arms.
the other gods each take positions,a nd Corellon stands ready to fight in case somethings going on. And kord drags with both arms an enormous chain as
big as he is up to the man... kord looks sad, and even form this distance can be heard "Sorry, dad." And he starts winding the chain around, and the
gods each lay their hands on the chain and infuse their power. And in exchange, a portion of one of the large links shrinks into a small link and attaches
to the god.
Sensation of time passing in the dream. Kith senses he's still Mlora. Standing in the woods, but the trees are dying. The leaves are gone, the branches
becoming brittle and dead. Cradles in his hand a dead pixie... feels furious once again and knows that this is a consequence of what they had done.
transports himself to the only god who might know what to do about this. Boccob, is writing on the desk... Senses Deja Vu... Kiths seen some of this
before, but this is more detailed. In the dream Kith says "Soory to distrub you, but have you seen the area opposite the temple? The land is drying
up... is threr nothing that can be done." Boccob Looks up and has an air of distance. "Unfortunately, the situation cannot be changed..." eye gleams,
he uses the chain link, lady of pain appears. boccob gestures lazily, but there's a hunger in his eyes. She lashes out with the chains and lashes out at
Kith. Absolute complete agony, and for a moment knows her pain as she kills him. Boccob stretches out his hand straining to absorb mlora's essence, but
kith scatters reflexively in all directions, and Kith feels foils him, and the dream fades because who he was not longer truly is.
Kith wakes up in a cold sweat and feels her presence. Mlora is with him now... what remains of her is in the sword... its a small shadow of who she was,
but he can hear her voice in his mind. says "now you have seen teh devastation caused to the land by what they did. If you wish to restore it it must be
undone... it must be freed." She doesn't saying it like a yearning, but rather as a matter of truth. There's the impression that its a choice. Then
feels her essence leave, as though it was a big strain.
Those of us who were in the pits... have the fugue memories of having arrived there... and then... what? what happened? did we win? has it happened
yet? oh geez.
Kith flies up. gets a bit dizzy... suddenly notices a thing. Kith tries to scry Simone... then can kinda tell that simone's ring is no longer like
active... so she's either not wearing it or has been killed. * Kith then goes to the lyrist faction territory. Kith says he wants to speak with the odious dragonborn... says he believes the dragonborn is with them.
The guys he asks says you mean... Arwel *surname*. She doesn't really live here... last I heard she was trying to relocate her family here. She's
typically with the other independents... *gives directions.*
Kith knocks on the door and Arwel answers... offers some meat... Arwel talks about her strange dream. Kith says that that's not unusual, and arwels
says yeah,,, but its totaly vivid! Kith asks if Arwel saw Simone. Arwel says that Simone hasn't responded. Kith says that Arwel could help with something
since she's tall and strong. Arwel asks the task. Kith says he needs to save the world.... arwel asks how. She asks the rough version. Kith mentions
the rings, Arwel indicates her fochlucan ring, they test them out. Kith manages to catch something from Arwel, but it was gibberish. Arwel asks what
Kith's ring is... kith says it was a precursor ring... Kith said that some thought it was a better idea to imprison a god than destroy her. Kith feels
the sword kinda pulsing and calling to him as this scenario happens. kiths mind feels slkightly amplified while he holds the hilt. Kith says he would
prefer for it to be mroe than just two.
Kith says that they're going to free Arwel and save the world. "Tatenda will be your last chance. Go now or she will be forever lost."
Kith says he returned an interesting message. Was in the ashes of a burnt offering at an alter he found somewhere in the area of oraculum. Kith repeats
the message just above. Kith says that the message was written in the remnants of a burnt offering... he didn't know to whom the shrine was. Kith draws
the burnt offerings. Kith uses illusion and generates the image of the shrine... a rotten piece of fruit that was then burned, and a small wicker doll.
the wicker doll had no mouth but had little eyes it had fashioned. Arwel thinks that it looks like maybe someone who possibly has domain over fire and
death. like... death comes to all things.
Kith's like i'm bringing you for your arm. Kith says he cannot lose his last chance to restore her. Zahar and I meet up. We go to Arwel. Simone sees us
approaching and remains hidden. we let ourselves in with Kith there.
Arwel asks why zahar is glowing. Kith says he's afraid we may be at cross purposes. Kith asks if... zahar works for pelor.
simone comes in. Kith totally hits on that really hot nymph. (Simone introduces herself as milay). Zahar and I vouch for Simone. And Simone's Identity
is revealed to arwel. kith and Simone go off to speak.
Simone's ring lets her sink out of phase and become invisible to the others.
We consider if its safe to discuss here. We're pretty sure it is.
We talk about the rings being dangerous. We mention the guild... Kith says they're hte wielders of the Mlora... Kith says he can't guess how long ago,
but Mlora was attacked by the lady of chains, and whoever was masquerading as Boccob... we mention that the Vacob situation is messy... Kith says Mlora
was attacked by him, and she scattered herself.. the guild has corrupted her purpose... and Kith hoped they would change their ways, but its becomie more
clear they haven't, and with a message he recently recieved.
Kith mentiosn the shrine. Zahar gets a 50 know religion... when someone tries to remove the shrines, they'er damaged.... they're shrines to Wee Jas.
Kith says he served mlora in his youth. Kith says he betrayed her for glory, money, valor, pride. He says he paid, for thousands and thousands of years,
for that crime. And Kith things he'll never be able to wipe the stain away but he's not here to give a confession. When he came back and finally won
free... when he was set free, the world was different, and Mlora was dead, gone, lost to time. no one knows her except for htese guild members. And
they've perverted her purpose. I ask what her purpose was: its beauty, life, etc.
kith mentions in his vision what happened to her. When Tharis dune was being imprisoned.... *Kith describes the scene... 21 deities.* Mlora dissented...
and when Boccob was confronted, he ordered the lady of pain to take Mlora.
Kith mentions theres no flow on the plains. He mentions the abyss. We're like the hells... and they're flowless because Asmodeus wins... zahar says that
in celestia the balanced nexus and Shyle's vigilance keep them in check. Zahar mentiosn the other two wardens names.
Kith plans to restore Mlora.
Kith ppulls out the sword says there's more and its his shame. he confesses to slaying the emperor. he says that when he did it there was probably just
hte one one... and its this blade that holds a small measure of Mlora. And it can draw the others from her. Zahar asks if kith knows how it was forged.
Kith says he knows Kas did.
We say that Kas is an Aspect of Kiransely, just like Asmodeus, demogorgon and the Raven Queen.
Zahar says he knew her once. From before the flow. He knew her as Tharis dunes left hand... and says that Zahar was his right as Vhaerun. Kith asks
where Zahar was when the gods chose to chain him. Zahar says he was hunted and destroyed with the rest of his people, where Tharis dune told them to go,
for he submitted himself to save them. despite this, Zahar says he still doesn't think killing the gods is the right answer. Kith asks that he
understands that the goal of the guild is to kill teh 20 gods who wronged melora. Vengeance was never in her... they're using her power to subvert and
corrupt her essence.
Vengeance was a bit on the minds of the gods, except melora, during that earlier scene.
We all agree the guild must be stopped.
I mention that Melora may have some info.
Arwel is asked what her orders were. And asks that those who did wrong be punished. The idea is that justice can be served without vengeance.
Kith says that when this is ended, he'lkl sumbit to the empire. Zahar is like its not my empire... Kith asks why, Zahar says that his death and
resurrection were willed by Tharis Dune.
Arwel presses the issue and Zahar says he wasn't truly murdered... they made a new sword to defeat vecna, then zahar was impaled by Sahrit Dubain.
Zahar doesn't remember what happened next,and he arrived in Celestia, a realm of balanced nexus... Shyell, the warden of madness, guards him from his own
insanity. Isaline's father. Rsess, Isaline's mother, the warden of conviction walks the world here to see what can be done to make his will known and
bring him peace and justice. Zahar says he was bestowed the title the warden of faith... he looks so different now because hes infused with Tharis
dune's will and power. Zahar says his mind and spirit are his own. But the fate of Tharis dune must remain important to him and he must work towards it.
It effects us all.
Kith says he should let us know that we recieved the blade from the lady of pain. Kith says he believes it can be used to destroy vecna shoudl he oppose
us.
Zahar mentions that Kiransely is probably his oldest friend in the world... he has fought and perhaps destroy one of her eidolons and will figth a
thousand more if necessary.
Kith: "Incidentilly, do you recall the mission we went... for the marquis of... the one who was damaged... Dragontamer. his spouse was one of the
cult. It was she whoa ttempted to bring Kith in. Zahar mentions that he was crippled because she poisoned him. She is dead because of actions that
happened that night. Kith says we may see problems regarding hte empire. Kith says his time for secrets is coming to an end.
Kith asks if there's more to Tatenda than the fact that its his home time. Answer, not really.
Zahar gives the plot dump on the dragon orbs and the nature of Io.
Simone scries near tatenda.
Zahar mentions his world-eater title. Simone scries the city... finds the barrier. its where she recalls. The scrying sensor show a bridge... sees it
for a second,l then the effect was suddenly ended after like a round.
We appear a few hundred feet away form the bridge. we feel reality shifted. We get in. We can see through the tube, of course. Inside... it looks
like there are a number of people inside... like a group has gathered. as we get closer, we can see at least a dozen men and women like confronting...
there's an arura of menace... they're confronting Calenon in his elven form. he has maybe half a dozen clearly nomadic people.
The oens arrayed against Calenon appear nondescript and of varying cultures. We walk through the tube and hear voices (Simone sheds the armor.) we let
Kith out of the hole. Of these people... they look like strangers... but there is a guy that we recognize... Its Thon rectard.
All of the guys arrayed against Calenon are dopplegangers... but one guy looks like an amalgamation of different thigns... his hair is like 3 different
colors... his skin is black and white, and peach and onyx black... in a bunch of different places. one hand looks stronger and more monstrous than the
other. He's kiunda standing at an angle like his legs might not be the same length.
Its Cilius Vartara. haha!
We se thon threatening... in his orcish voice he's like "last chance, Calenon... leave now or there will be blood." Calenon looks very calm and says
"Then we fight." He turns into an emerald dragon. Simone asks for some space and enhances her voice and shouts out "Aren't you looking for me?" and she's
visible to them. Simone reverts form. All of them are transforming as well, and in the midst of that transformation, some of them turn and.
I start up my song. Zahar vanishes from a quake from just outside the barrier. Thon tells 3 of them to get Simone. they attack her.
Combat gets into full swing. They can clearly use the abilkities of the forms to some extent at least. Charm, fear, and slow and inflict wounds from the
beholder hit.
Simone tries to taunt them. The beholder turns and shouts that this is all Simone's fault. Simone disappears to them.
The troll shrugs off the the greater shout effect with mettle. A bunch of them were stunned, most were injured. Simone senses that these shapeshifters
have gear merged with them. The guy with the sword attacks Calenon. He doesn't automatically roll a 1 (the sword apparently needn't worry about that.)
Calenon is hit 5 times. With the sword. He's raging also. He does 185 vitality. Calenon passes all of his saves. Calenon breathes... notably avoids
hitting us or his allies with it.
Kith feels that a bit of melora is gone as one of the guys is obliterated... not sure like destroyed or what. But gone.
A swirly black thing... the earth there is kinda swampy. We sense profound evil form it. So its probably not Mordwlyn.,
Kith is like try me on for size! and attacks with RAGGGE. He hits and does 49 damage... when the guy his hit, his essence reacts strongly to the hit...
The sword is tryign to take the divine essence but he's too powerful yet. 38 damage to cilius. Likewise with the trying to resis.t.. his essence is still
kinda tainted... Like messed upo. Kith grows when he rages
plot tastic event! The swamp has been growing steadily for a few seconds. a head emerges, and out of it steps a creature. Its clearly a devil. Its
mammon, a creature that looks like a man-snake. "oh gods, Devils!"

"Then we fight." He turns into an emerald dragon. Simone asks for some space and enhances her voice and shouts out "Aren't you looking for me?" and she's
visible to them. Simone reverts form. All of them are transforming as well, and in the midst of that transformation, some of them turn and.
I start up my song. Zahar vanishes from a quake from just outside the barrier. Thon tells 3 of them to get Simone. they attack her.
Combat gets into full swing. They can clearly use the abilkities of the forms to some extent at least. Charm, fear, and slow and inflict wounds from the
beholder hit.
Simone tries to taunt them. The beholder turns and shouts that this is all Simone's fault. Simone disappears to them.
The troll shrugs off the the greater shout effect with mettle. A bunch of them were stunned, most were injured. Simone senses that these shapeshifters
have gear merged with them. The guy with the sword attacks Calenon. He doesn't automatically roll a 1 (the sword apparently needn't worry about that.)
Calenon is hit 5 times. With the sword. He's raging also. He does 185 vitality. Calenon passes all of his saves. Calenon breathes... notably avoids
hitting us or his allies with it.
Kith feels that a bit of melora is gone as one of the guys is obliterated... not sure like destroyed or what. But gone.
A swirly black thing... the earth there is kinda swampy. We sense profound evil form it. So its probably not Mordwlyn.,
Kith is like try me on for size! and attacks with RAGGGE. He hits and does 49 damage... when the guy his hit, his essence reacts strongly to the hit...
The sword is tryign to take the divine essence but he's too powerful yet. 38 damage to cilius. Likewise with the trying to resis.t.. his essence is still
kinda tainted... Like messed upo. Kith grows when he rages
plot tastic event! The swamp has been growing steadily for a few seconds. a head emerges, and out of it steps a creature. Its clearly a devil. Its
mammon, a creature that looks like a man-snake. "oh gods, Devils!"
