WE'RE BACK!!!!
Due to a somewhat unexpected, sooner than anticipated revival I will be posting our last game synopsis here as well as all things pertaining to our December game.
The forces of darkness rise again and this time it is all life on our planet that is at risk.
A year has passed.......
The city of Jade now lay under the rule of Tusk the Full-blooded, an orc of great power and an agent of the divine. With him, Aramil, a rouge of some repute and Sol, a Cleric of Palor, rebuilt the Jade City and restored order from chaos.
Across the dead lands, on the Highland boarder, the Highmark Conclave at last defeated the forces of darkness under Kerjin, a powerful Orc who lead an army of undead and aided by demons. He fled the battle and was never seen since.
The former Emperor of the Jade empire had also fled without a trace. Life slowly returned to normal. New life began to rise in the dead lands
Peace was restored upon the lands.
A year later and the Highmark Conclave has nearly returned to its former glory. All the hopes and dreams of mankind and elven kin seemed to be within reach. And then............
A young boy seeks audience with Maximilian, Lord High Chancellor of the Highmark Conclave, regarding a dark prophecy. At the same time Aramil and his new found feline friend become concerned with undead rats that plague the city. Sol, meanwhile has had a vision of great evil. Aramil and company visit Sol who tells them of his dark vision. They find Tusk and tell him of a dark portent that all life might perish. Using a personal portal to the Highmark Conclave, they seek out Max.
Max has meanwhile been told by the boy of a city of undead rising to power. Of an evil Necromancer who has opened and what comes through that gate heralds the beginning of the end for all life on Teras-sel. Even as he ponders this Tusk and company arrive. They tell him all they have learned and Max tells them what he has just heard. In communing with Pelor, Sol has also learned that more information may be found by a Great and terrible, multi headed dragon, Lord of the chromatics. Tiamat.
Meanwhile, Seamus Mcphee, who was sent by max to investigate rumors that the ancient Shadow Lich Krakssis was on the move, finds himself awakening in a small cave on Avernus, the first layer of of the Nine Layers of Hell or Baator. He was knocked through a portal while battling the power hungry Avarax. (See LGG1 OCTOBER 2008)
After realizing his whereabouts he contacts Max through a special scrying mirror. Max responds and using the power of the Conclave he opens a gate near Seamus. Tusk, Aramil, Sol and his dragon Brightscale, the teifling ______ and the feline/____ ____ join Seamus even as Tiamat's five, great wyrm consorts fly in to capture Seamus and his dragon Anna. A great battle ensues.
Anna and Seamus take to the air along with Sol while the others remain on the ground. The feline warlock strikes first, hitting a Blue dragon with her powerful Eldrich Energy. Sol cries out in the name of Pelor and holding his holy symbol high turns/destroys the Blue dragon even as Aramil shadow jumps to the back of the black dragon. He nearly misjudges the dragons path but strikes hard. Tusk charges forward and makes a might leap into the air, barring his ax deep into the back of a great white dragon. The dragon cries out and explodes in a death spell, catching Tusk in the epicenter of an explosion dealing massive cold and shrapnel damage.
The battle wages on. The dragons do a fair share of damage to the party but in the end only two of the five remain. They flee as an image of Tiamat appears in the heavens above, demanding the presence of our heroes. They agree and follow the Red dragon to Tiamats lair.
There Tiamat greets them. A colossal dragon god of great power. The party asks her what she knows of the coming evil and she tells them of Atropus, the Elder Evil. Creator of the ancient gods. She offers to aid them. Allowing them to take two items each of their choosing from her lair, all they have to do is build a small and insignificant alter for her near the Conclave. Sol refuses even as the others agree but Tiamat calls on Sol as speaker of the party. She tells him if he refuses then Seamus and Anna will remain with her and the rest may go. Sol still refuses to accept Tiamats hospitality and sending a silent prayer (Casts Miracle) to Pelor he stands firm.
Tiamat opens a portal, Dominates the Brass dragon Anna and using telekinesis, send seamus flying through the air toward the two now fully healed, Great Wyrms. Seamus prepares a Wall Of Force as Tusk Charges forward, screaming "THERE MUST BE ANOTHER WAY!!!" He attacks Tiamat, goddess of the chromatic dragons.
Aramil shadow jumps to where he predicts Seamus to land even as Seamus casts his wall. Seamus hits the wall and falls to the ground and Aramil finds himself on the wrong side of the wall. Tusks strikes a mighty blow and a flurry of attacks but much of the damage seems to be warded by an invisible shield of divine energy. Still, it's enough to cut through and one of her heads is critically wounded. Sol prepares to make his attack even as the tiefling debates between dragon treasure and escape.......
Sol's prayer is answered and the party is instantly transported to the second layer of the Seven Layers Of Celestia. There they meet a white furred, celestial badger who greets them. He tells them they may rest in the palace of Bahamut. A colossal palace built entirely of the Lawful Good, platinum dragons hoard.
Our party now rests for the upcoming battles. Will they meet and battle Avarax? Will Tiamat seek them out or will Time run out as Atropus approaches. Stay tunned for out next exciting adventure!!!
