Outline: Crazy engineer, Named Lord Jacwell Anderson(leads c4), is still making war machines (flesh forged).] He wants magic to remain destabilized so he can rule the world.

Start 1

Set scene

Player: Death left to go do their job and Matilda disappeared soon after(no relation). EV left for something called the grand hunt and over the last few months, Krystal was increasingly worried about something but kept dodging the question. She disappeared this morning. (Lilith put Krystal in the abyss to pay off her debt, Something big, K's pendant only works on the same plane as her, Currently in the abyss.)

Amelia got 2 more ships. Sprocket got a logistics upgrade, he's since taken over guild job requests, ship maintenance, and quartermaster duties. El-red punched a lot of guys and Eldon sold some stuff.
World: Bahamat's aspect defeated Karen at the end of the dawning war. The kingdom she once ruled is now called the Broken Lands. It's full of warlords, cults, raiders, and monsters. All in all, an adventurer's playground and a commoner's nightmare.

Current Quest:

Sprocket: A warlord in the broken lands wants the party to investigate rumors of missing people and old war monsters. Have the party pick one of 4 ships to take.
When the party gets there, the town is mostly empty but the barkeep says the monsters are coming from the old fort nearby.
Fort on a hill guarded by 2 mercs and a Diesel Drider(Xera). Xera runs into the fort when they die.
The fort is actually a bunker with 3 floors, mostly jail cells, Gearblood parts, and operating tables but the last floor has a sending mirror (face time tv).
Ember is in the mirror, and Xera is pleading with him. When he notices the party; "You have failed me for the last time Xera, now face your justice."
His face Fissels out and a count down on mirror(says hammer of dawn), Xera notices the party and vows to bring them down with her.
The lamp and Mabs whispers tell Eldon and Geode to just leave.
flee means Xera gives chase but the front door won't open fully, Party's able to escape but Xera can't.
Bunker is annihilated by the hammer just as the party escapes.

The Hammer of Dawn: The laser can be fired once per day and deals 110 20d10 radiant damage to all creatures within a 30-foot radius. All structures and objects are completely destroyed unless specifically built to resist radiant energy. Creatures in this area must make a DC 20 Con Save, taking half damage on a success. When the laser is commanded to fire the DM rolls a 1d10 , on a 1 the laser fizzles and fails.

End

The party saved the townspeople, they speak of how they were tortured one by one. Mutilated and augmented, being turned into what the captors called Gear-bloods. Those who survived were caged and sent off every Monday. They don't know where. Warlord Treson arrives with a convoy and pays them 10,000 gold for removing Xera in such a brilliant display. Says he will investigate where the people were taken, and if he finds anything he will call on the party again. Insists the party leaves. The ship receives a call from Sprocket about a really big gig.
A man named Nickolas Penitentiary, a legend at the university, wants the party's help. Paying "enough money to buy a small country"

Have you ever heard of "The Pact of the Three Streams"? Created in the early centuries of the 2nd era so the weaker followers of the 3 streams wouldn't get themselves killed; It was an agreement between the divine, arcane, and primal forces in this world... or you can call them the 3 streams if you're feeling poetic. The point is the pact is a physical thing, and so long as it's inside the temple of unity the world reacts to the three streams equally. Unfortunately, it was stolen. Now the pact is guarded by some of the best security in Excal-heim, not to mention it's an 8ft-tall marble tablet, so whoever did this is both powerful and organized.

Pact is 8x4x0.5 ft and 2,560 lbs

I've compiled a list of suspects;

Jortalathy, The Blue Greatwyrm who rules in the Bhegh mountains

Bory-ontix, an Adult Red dragon employed by the thunder dwarves to fuel their forges

Karen, Daughter of Tiamat was supposedly killed or banished by the aspect of Bahamut.

Valorfax, Monarch of Magic. One of the few people capable of cross-continental teleportation.

Mr. Bones, a trixy old lich waging war against the "fuck boyz"...

to this day no one knows who that is, not even his generals.

and the three champions of the Streams, Currently debating a new pact;

Vorlath, Guardian of the Wild

Sardior, The Ruby Dragon

Lilith, Queen of Devotion

I need you five to keep an eye on the three champions while I investigate the others.

end 8/19/23

Recap

They talked to Sardior. he's got the tizm. <-- emberglen library
just found out where Vorlath is and about to go talk to him(Viking/godfry/honor bound). <-- Elitanost forest
Need to find Lilith on Indever's nameless island.

start

The party finds Vorlath's feast hall; people are relaxing, there are lute bears, and Vorlath sits atop his throne.

"You want answers? Earn them. There's a large pale beast out in the forest; Biggest jaws you've ever seen."
Bring me its pelt, and you'll get what you want."
"But be warry, one of my Vorlath's Hunter has taken to worshiping the beast."
"He will try to stop you, kill him and I will end you myself."

Party must track down the albino t-rex. Make it feel like monster hunter world. Survival checks.
They run into 2 territorial burn-soul bears. DC <18
Find a stegosaurus. DC 25>
Find A-T-rex. DC 18><24

Vorlath says

I tried to spark some comradery between the three of us, but the others weren't having it

Sardior tried to use mind control on the other 2 champions.

Claimed he could do both their jobs better.

Lilith wanted the new pact to lean in her favor even more.

said she needed more power to protect the world from the 9 hells and the abyss; but the gods already do that?

Lilith says

Vorlath wanted us to go on a hunt, followed by a feast

so we could "get to know one another and "commune with the spirits of the forest" drug-loving bastard.

Sardior tried to use mind control on the other 2 champions.

Claimed he could do both their jobs better.

I stated the obvious; the gods are dying and someone needs to take their spot as protector of this world.

Sardior says

I, very reasonably, tried to explain to them the importance of empowering the minds of the commoners in this new era.

They weren't listening so I had to take drastic action. How unfortunate for it to fail.

Vorlath only cares about food and hunting.

And supposedly he's being restrained and civilised by that armor.

Lilith wanted the new pact to lean in her favor even more.

Probably to enforce her hedonism-fueled Matrearchy

end 8/26/23

Bring up the new rule: Death Bane

"Hey, I haven't had a good time to bring this up but I came up with a new rule I want to try out. It's called Death bane"

Talked to Vorlath and Lilith
Killed and harvested an albino t-rex; traumatising a hunter in the process
Eldon stole a fuck ton of treasure

it disappeared as soon as he got back to the ship (hasn't noticed)

Player's info about the list.

Amilia knows about Bory-ontix

an Adult Red dragon employed by the thunder dwarves to fuel their forges.

Mr. Bones, a trixy old lich waging war against the "fuck boyz"...

Whoever they visit, they run into Nick.
Nick wants an update and reveals another suspect he needs them to look into:

A shadowy man named Ember, he's currently at Fenton Skyport.

"I need to know who he is, what he wants, who he works for, and why he's interested in the pact."

Fenton is the town where Eldon's orphanage used to be.

it's currently covered by a fog cat(sentient cloud, it likes naps)

The orphanage burnt to the ground at the end of the war, they're building a new one.

The local tavern is named "The Cloak and Chalice"

Warlord's men will take the army of guards at the Skyport, The party needs to ensure the leader doesn't escape.

Skyport

docks (main fight here)

vip docks (no ships)

main terminal

Signal tower (Ember starts here)

warehouse district

Warehouses (slaves are here)

Ship Forge (find parts of the Tarrasque here)

When they meet him, his voice is metallic and raspy; "oh, it's you... I was wondering when you'd catch on. This is gonna be fun!"

he sics his 4 pets at the party. 3 gear-bloods and 1 titan.

When a pet dies. "What a waste of good parts."

When he tpk's he brings the cleric back and tosses him some diamonds. "Go on, revive them... I'll wait... I'm not done playing yet."

Then Red shows up, puts a bullet in Eldon, and says "The skyport is lost and the boss wants a word."

They leave and either the party wakes up in draconia or is revived by Geode.

End

Start

This hq is manned by The Sargent. As they enter the warehouse, the bloodflame phoenix flies past them and up to the catwalk, landing next to the srgt.
"Ember has been in my way for too long, but I can't just give him to you. How would that look in my report?" *Click - a large crystal activates* "This crystal disables his Berserk magic. If you survive I'll be at The Hammer, Waiting."
"Hope you're ready for a fight, I gave him a double shot of the wake-up juice."
*Ember's tank breaks open as he screams and he picks up his hammer.* Ember breaks the pact's crate mid-fight. << Causes Enviroment to lash at spells and magic effects. Wrath: boxes fall on them < even when not near a stack of boxes

"Srgt babafuk, you made ember face these interlopers alone, practically sending him to his death. He was my right hand, my closest advisor... and you killed him.
Now the interlopers have followed you here, burdened with terrible purpose. How poetic, it seems lesser people do create their own damnation...
Very well, i had planed to have you drawn and quartered but whatever they have planned will suffice.
And to you five who have intruded upon my fortress of divine wrath, do make this quick and leave, I have much work to do."
