opalsongThis is the final battle - that because of an awesome diplomacy roll turns out to be more like the final cut-scene.
- approach orc camp
- many many orcs (all types & genders) [when researching my orc character I found out that this would not happen in a canonical orc gathering. females are considered lower class]
- Clink's ppl set up camp on outskirts
- Clink & us go to leader [who I believe is Lothar]
- Fitz bluffs leader into thinking we are famous
- so Lothar puts us at front of army (to sway other outlings to orc sides)
- march @ dawn tomorrow
- DAWN - chance to prepare --> armour --> shopping trip :) --> talking through Uriel
- armourer only sells scale mail to "strongest orc orc champion" [Sharah wants scale mail]
- need to beat orc champion & bring scale mail to armourer [& then he will sell some to us]
- find champion urinating outside tent [earlier Uriel went to ask directions to the armour shop and asked a urinating orc - I'm pretty sure it was the same one]
- Sharah waves "challenge flag" in front of him
-DUEL [no magic bear allowed]
- lose --> flag disintegrates
- weaponsmith --> only champions have special longswords
- horn sounds --> orcs: "to the marches"
- we @ front of march
- after marching several hours approach drawbridge
- guarding a battering ram
- in castle b/c of Yue's AWESOME words of friendship diplomacy [remember how I said that I had only RECENTLY come to like bard? Well this was the moment. DM says we were supposed to have to fight every step of the way through Pythion's castle but I talked to the slaves we were fighting and convinced them that we were here to liberate them and they joined us and therefore: no fighting! No traps either - there were several trap rooms that we were supposed to encounter but the slaves told us about them and we avoided them. So yeah, I kinda love bard now.]
- open chests in storage room [loot: crystal dagger+1 & leather armour+1]
- slaves running everywhere
- orcs march up & sounds of battle everywhere
- go up stairs [there's a hallway with one room on either side. one has Pythion and a huge battle and the other has a large marching]
- 4 figures (non-orc) on Pythion's side [the generals] & 4 orc generals (one is Clink) are fighting in the battle room
- attempt to skirt to Pythion
- as skirting --> bright light stops everything
- Astral traveller and Devil appear
- Pythion looks scared @ Astral Traveller
- Devil yells to join tog. to defeat Astral Traveller
- orcs charge astral and devil - surround and batter with blows
- Pythion knows who we are and knows stuff (was around in our time in hiding)
- according to him Astral has army and is taking over in our time
- Pythion back story:
• smart boy --> poor family
• found way to become successful
• abolished slavery and hunger
• ppl didn't like this b/c slavery and hunger are profitable
• got rid of Pyth by making deal w/ Astral
- [Pythion makes a good case for himself here. We weren't fully swayed. He also said he had nothing to do with his followers in our time (like the one that killed Patches)]
- 2 Pyth generals died (as well as Clink and one other orc) --> all generals die [the generals all specifically died b/c we wondered why we would do anything when they had the situation well in hand. The generals were trying to push the Astral traveller to the large machine in the other room. The same room that we met the Astral Traveller in during our very first DnD session. As you can see events are already different than they were the first time around. Pythion wanted us to help trap the Astral Traveller and said that the power from that would give us a way to go home.]
- Pyth is an older man --> says to (help) battle while Pyth preps machine
- Astral battered
- [the devil is lying dead on the ground right now]
- attempt to push to machine and got caught
- Astral disintegrates into portal to "keep" [end of time] [he gets caught in the machine and then turns into a portal]
- Pythion says that the portal is our way home and he is going to use it and leave us here to ROT
- we jump through first [Pythion was in the other room... a bit dumb to make statements when you aren't close enough to do anything about it]
- Pythion tries to follow but is caught by battered Devil [CAN he even die???]
- Sharah stabs him in the face w/ spear (coup de gras) - PYTHION DIES - sucks back into time
- Portal closes and plane around us disintegrates
- end up in bar where we began
- elves are everywhere (and high class) and orcs too --> working together
- [Gethra used to be segregated between upper and lower classes and elves were the lowest of the low. ]
- someone enters bar to get us to go to the "Master"
- Master = Devil -->YAY!
- gives us gifts [loot: Sharah - magical scale mail, Yue - Wavestrider Boots, Fitz-Maurice - enchanted fist things, Uriel - magical orb]
- ask about Telgron --> died in battle w/ Astral and is commemorated by statue in middle of town
- Boars are here but in different form [we get to choose a new type of mount]
- NO RIFT - town is big and happy
- overseas --> war against Dragons/strange happenings --> want astral for own gain
End of Campaign / Plot Arc!!!!!!!
- [at this point DM wanted to play a character and so Uriel is stepping up to be DM. I have no idea what is in store for us now.]
The last post of the first campaign is posted. Posts will slow down dramatically after this (about one a week) - mostly because we need to PLAY the sessions before I can type them up.
