Evan's Session Report
The Road So Far - Dysis 5, 27 Days Since Meeting
Three hundred years ago, the gods disappeared. A little less than a month ago, several people met at a jobs posting board. Since then, things have gone a little sideways. After working together to solve a murder, they found a conspiracy involving the town’s Justice and an attempt to use the upcoming eclipse to bring about the end of the world.
Though this was stopped, they learned in the process that the correspondence of the spheres would bring about a grander change in the world, with the barriers between the planes becoming increasingly thin as the mechanisms of the universe started to tick down.
With nothing better to do (along with some assistance and nudging by helpful associates), the party set about fixing things. Along the way, they’d met the old cyclops Ponpiketes who assisted from his remote hideout of Mons Pouthena.
After stitching up the first interplanar rift - a gap torn between the material plane and the shadow where they had to deal with mirror images of themselves, the party learned more about the task they’d taken up. They, and the organization whose mantle they’d taken up, were the repair people for the world, keeping things from completely unwinding in the absence of the gods.
They encountered the Harbinger of Rovagug, wounding the dragon in their flight down the mountain with a series of tremendously cool stunts, acrobatic feats and dropped boulders, injuring the monster enough that it chose to retreat rather than assault the nearby town of Bourrah.
From there, they traveled towards the next interplanar rift and, along the way, located another Harlequin hideout. They learned more about the orders and their missions, took stock of resources and considered using the location as a base after quite a lot of bloodletting brought the heartward back to life.
The trip north introduced them to Lann the Craftsman and his wife, the Blood Queen Aofie, refugees from the Feywild - and a talking book, who agreed to travel with the party instead of causing problems in Aofie's attic. After discerning that they were not particularly hostile, they agreed to introduce Lann and his entourage to some folks in Bourrah, before the camp was attacked.
Soldiers from across the world, where a new god is on the rise, lost and attempting to strike out at a hated foe. Mesanic crusaders with gunpowder and rockets attacked but were repelled, all but one falling in the process.
Which brings us back to the present, where the dust settles in the aftermath of the fight and the party prepares to return to Bourrah - both to introduce Lann to their contact and to get back in touch with Ponpiketes at their hideout.
