Session 22- Para Bellum, Part 3

by Theral Animatrous

After beating skeleton, got a warning from my wristwatch about excessive abyssal energy

  • the ambient magic has gotten much higher; who knows what that means

  • Found another room with a powerful magic seal; balthazar disabled it; door led to a library
  • There was a display case inside; tried to catapult it, got attacked by books instead

  • Rapp fought a bed; lost?

  • Vic fucking died by lightning bolt; I fucking died by magic missile

  • We both made it out ok; bookcase was holding a tome of knowledge with 3 questions left
    Retrieved the spear and gave it back to the sphinx; Vic has developed a strange interest in my bag of holding
  • Got TP'd back to our reality; Divon got caught for some fucking reason; need to bail him out

  • Turns out we were gone for ONLY AN HOUR

  • Vic rifled through my bag and stole the crown + book
  • will figure out repercussions later

  • Returned to the sphinx's lair and went down the staircase to a large domed room containing a ornate stone building
  • Flanked by a metric shit-ton of statues; easily a couple thousand

  • central building carved with reliefs of battle; one section features curved horn humanoids similar to ones found on Bellum

  • ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Went deeper into the structure and found Jericho just chilling on a throne
  • Went to Bellum and wiped out another race because they tried to invade ours; gives me sus vibes

  • Jericho revealed that Monomon is a shard of the god Colene

  • Bombshell- turns out when the gods last left the world, Hugon (god of humans) and Goba (god o' goblins) avatar's went on PTO
  • Hugon decided to build an empire and Goba apparently fucked off

  • So I guess we're heralds of a new age now , as well as fatebound, nobodies, war heroes, convicted criminals, marked as a whole... yeah
    Learned the sphinx's name is Zarek and he's also Jericho's butler
     
    Question: how does Hugon tie into the Giff?
  • Gods aren't limited by shape; take preferred forms; Hugon may be patronizing the Giff in order to unite the continent in the Giff empire

  • Question: how do we kill a god?
  • It is possible to kill an avatar and trap a god in the upper planes


  • So Jericho just pulled his entire sanctum from below ground into the air and reawakened all his warforged soldiers
     
    2 options before us:
    Fixing magical entropy by repairing the generators regulating magic around the world
    Awakening the avatars of other gods to stop Hugon's advancement and help Jericho
