Stackor has a meeting with Stackor in his tent. Not-Stackor is likely a fey of
the Twilight Court. The entire meeting is full of general frustrations and
miscommunication.
The Not-Stackor offers to take Stackor’s place at CC’s revival.
Current Objectives
Revive Cayden Cailean, and survive!
Events
We take an intermission from the Far Territories, to revive a dead god.
The party discusses the Stackor/Not-Stackor meeting, and reviews our plan.
The party, including Nay-Nay, teleport to Fort Ang. At the designated
location, we find Maugrim, two skeletal dwarves, and a rune scribed upon the
ground. Maugrim gives to SG a rapier for CC
Maugrim mentions he was expecting Damar to be present; SG sends a
message to them.
Maugrim performs the ritual. He finishes, raises a quill, and disappears.
Almost immediately after, a massive boom occurs outside the metal cube.
The entire location shakes. Harvey’s amulet warns of something coming, and
offers to unleash it’s full power. Harvey agrees. Stackor and SG realize
that the location of the ritual has been pulled from the material plane.
Harvey has a vision, seeing memories from heaven, of a farmyard, before
settling in a large white room, before a figure. They chat.
The figure announces itself first Azalea, then as Iozrael. It mentions
it serves Baazebul. It has plane-shifted the ritual location to
Cocytus, the seventh ring of hell. The amulet acted because of an
opportunity it sees.
COMBAT BEGINS!
Iozrael casts dimensional shackles upon Cayden Cailean
2 ice devils manifest, one next to Stackor and Sheila G each.Stackor
maneuvers out of melee, preparing to dispel the shackles on CC. One of
the ice devils summons an ice wall, cutting off Gartug and Naynay from the
rest of the group; the other moves to attack Stackor. Randy tries to
dispel the dimensional shackles, to no luck. Sheila G buffs the party
with blessing of fervor, and hands CC his sword. Gartug punches a hole
through the wall of ice. Cayden Cailean takes up his sword, and stands,
terrified that he is sober.
After one round, we are forced to call it for the night. Tune in next time,
when some of this party likely dies or is abandoned in Hell!
