2. Consequences of your actions
When the party flies back, they need to pick up the unpaid intern. LORE UPDATE: Each stream has its own name/classification/thing for the strongest members. Divine has gods, primal has primarchs, and arcane has archons.
Start
Wherever they go, a message will ring out in their heads demanding their appearance at the Confluence.
Upon arrival at the confluence 3 of Vorlath's Bears break through the door and charge the party.
Party kills 2 and the last is restrained by Lilith.
Oh good, you're back and you brought your new best friend! Come, we should talk inside.
The party is led through a large hall.
There is lots of symbolism about three things working together.
Eldon hears a honk from a nearby pillar. There's nothing there.
Vorlath and Sardior brought some of their warriors with them and they're not getting along with each other.
Of course, my followers have been behaving themselves, for the most part.
Eldon finds the goose again, it honks at him and he goes over to kill it because of course he will.
Upon killing it he finds that he's holding his goose cloak with a knife punching a hole through it now and the goose is nowhere to be seen
Before we go in, Amelia dear have you thought about my offer? I could so use the help of an engineer.
End
Amelia took the pact. Now has heat metal 3/Long will give repairs. The meeting happened, and Amelia got off free. :)Hired by the three to find the imposable mountain. It's in the abyss.
Sent through a portal to the citadel of devotion.
Start
Lilith wants to talk. Needs to explain why she betrayed Amelia. party stands around for a few hours before Lil shows up. 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. Lilith has a warlock in lower levels of the abyss who was supposed to make a deal with Melanie the Rotten but is MIA.I can drop you in the 4th level of the abyss, from there you'll have to make your way to level 10.
One of my enforcers is running a job for me in the abyss, show her this badge and she'll help you.
Knowing her, she's probably in trouble somewhere.
This is an infernal twin compass, it points the way up and down both the abyss and the nine hells. It will take about a month for the outer realms to be affected by the breaking of the pact, so Magic in the Abyss should be working normally. Before i send you off you should prepare; Buy some potions, and a few magic items, and maybe tinker with your toys, my servants can take you anywhere you wish to visit. Come see me when you're ready.
The goose will haunt them all throughout the outer plains

End/start
Tron grid with black wall and a giant mazeCompass points to the wall - looks like a 5-minute walk, takes 2 days.
White maze looms in the distance - looks like a 2-day walk, takes 5 minutes. They come across a slumbering Black Dragon, Mythic as they walk. He's cranky. The white maze is made by the old nameless.
It's a mix of hostile architecture and flashes of psychic feelings and pictures.
No matter how high you fly the wall is always above you The ghost of the goose tells them to turn back.
end
At the impossible mountain. it flashed 2d then pink.start
Have the mountain warp twice and turn into a nuclear family house.Crossing the fence makes them fight a cheese elemental that dissipates after 1 round.
Krystal warps twice like the mountain before screaming and disappearing.
She reappears in the citadel of devotion and talks with Lilith.
Additionally, all of the relics are turned into the Essence of the old nameless shards.
The PCs feel a great sense of burden. Eldon's cloak speaks to him.
The old night was ever-shifting as reality bent to the whims of all/one.
But the old nameless were lonely, and so they gave birth to thinking, named forms.
The first children were the gods, second the archons, then the primarks, and finally the mortals.
The youngest was their favorite as they held fleeting forms, and the gods have always hated them for it.
The front door is a portal to a fog-laden arena. The PCs don't appear to tp from the outside.

In the center is a jester(DC8, hp 6) who casts "Otto's Irresistible Dance" on 1d5 .
With laughter he pulls the large leaver he was standing on and a large clock in the sky begins ticking.
4 Null Satyr and 4 Gear-Blood Hound appear from the fog.
If one dies, they are replaced at the top of init.
This repeats until 6 rounds have elapsed. Upon surviving the trial the fog rushes in. -cue blackout.
The PCs find themselves in Walmart, with a small black stone slab on the shelf for 14.99
Walmart won't take gold, they must steal it.
When they finally check out, underneath the exit sign they find 5 floating covered silver platters.
The party gets the distinct feeling that they need to choose carefully
A voice speaks in their mind; be better than your elders.
The lids have riddles on them, written in every language, hinting at their contents
- Chaos Shard, "Make your own rules by following the rules of another"
- Nyquil Chicken, "I am what should not be, an egg too tired to fly"
- Elder Scroll, "Fus Roh Dah"
- Tiny Leggy Boi, the Barrel Bomb, "Slay another champion" (It grows outside of the abyss)
- Stone Skin Potion and a potion of fire immunity, "Resist change, resist pain."
- Grot's Goblin Launcher, "Find its brother, and let the ghosts fly once more"
The lid stays behind and falls to the ground.
It's a straight shot out of the maze
There are now Tarrasques wandering the tron grid. One is naping between the maze and the door.
A second one comes over the hill nearby, only to be obliterated by a roaming Lost Demigod.
end
They made it back to the citadel of devotion.They have a Bugatti.
went off to the guild.
start
They make it back to the guild and have 2 weeks or so down time.A portal opens, as Lilith steps through and a medium machine follows behind her.
"Hey team! so just a little update, the other champions have... wait is this your house?
It's so small... well, we champions talked and agreed upon a meeting in three months. In the meantime,One of my temples has gone missing... as in the building. It's supposed to be in Courla, deep in the forests of Bhegh. If you could find my missing clerics and find out why, that would be swell.
Vorlath said he wants to take you hunting, something about a big metal beastie in the broken lands.
Big scally wants to have dinner with you all. Don't worry too much, he doesn't bite... much.
Oh and Amilia can you fix this, it's not working. *gestures to the machine*.
The machine is a music box of sorts. In the Music roll slot, Lilith has placed a Pixie named "singer song".
It's so small... well, we champions talked and agreed upon a meeting in three months. In the meantime,
Singer song has a very deep voice. Temple: Large town of Courla. The temple is gone. 10 gp toll to land. A smaller temple (pillow pet) is across from a temple-hole. It's on the other side of the kingdom, stuck sideways on a cliff. One guy fell out the window. The temple has diamonds and a keg, an Expensive statue of Lilith, with 5 clerics sleeping, 1 awake, and 2 dead. Lilith shows up to put the temple back. Eldon stole Lilith's statue. (Chaos shard)One dead became floaty, a screen saver, another turned into a butler to give complimentary wine then is forcefully revived. Geode wants to kill him because he wasn't able to force him to owe Winter a debt.
Geode now wants to sell the chaos shard.
End
Hunting:The party heads out into the broken lands, meeting with Vorlath in a small nearly abandoned town. (he's on the outskirts)
In the tavern is a Undertaker who's hunting the party. She's heard rumors of a humanoid that's not in the ledgers of the dead, gives a description of a slightly taller Eldon.
There's a starfall crater north of here and to the east is an old mining operation. Rumor says both have some activity. I wanna see what you're capable of.
In the mines there are 32 Tin Soldiers in 4 groups of 9.
theres also Pain Engines, one per group.
Deep in the mines are 4 gargantuan holding cells, labeled BT-4a to BT-4d.
BT-4a and BT-4d are broken and empty, BT-4b and BT-4c have gargantuan rotting corpses replete with steam tech. the Crater has an escape pod thing with a sleeping Biotech Tarrasque curled around it.
A second set of tarasque footprints lead away from the crater.
End
amilia's blunderbuss was replaced by an Arctic PoleaxeLooted the face of a pain engine.
Killed the crater BT-4, and got its stat block. == make a v.2
Stole its mortars == Add biotech mortars to the drakes bane
Vorlath is impressed
start
Vorlath: "That was a valorous battle, but this is not our prey.
There's a group of hooligans disrupting the natural order of things, forcing a fusion of metal and flesh such as this."
If Amelia reacts to that "Your bits were your choice, but this one had no choice. It wept in pain with every breath, disobedience carved from its mind by twisted steel."
"Their leader needs to be stopped, cut the head off the dragon so to speak, but we need to find them first.
This Starfall crater was caused by his vessel. But that lead is gone.
We head east to delve the mines from which the abomination crawled."
Vorlath waves his hand and puts a shield over the biotech tarr.
"This will preserve your kill until we get back."
They get to the mines and find a pain engine outside.
Vorlath makes quick work of it.
"Best to fight these things in the open. Their back side is built to be vulnerable to all incoming attacks. A percussion built-in by their crafters."
When entering the mines he puts his hand on Amelia's shoulder and says "Try not to bring down the ceiling with your bombs."
2 fights total; Make them quick and keep the same initiative.
end

"I've heard rumors that freak is trying to revive the daughter of tiamat; whats worse is they say he might pull it off."
"anderson is the one who designed the monsters of the war, weaving meat and metal together with sadistic glee."
"so when his lackies show up with 2 metal spider things as body guards to make an offer you can't refuse; you say yes and try to keep your head down."

If they interogate the hunter: he wont break, unless they offer him a way out/improvment to his sich.
If they give him his tonge back: "theres a bomb stitched onto my heart, if i tell you i die."
and be a traitor? no. *refuse to speak* dc30
can't be revived
Offer DM advice: giving a lose lose scenario and calling one better is not good diplomacy"Looks like im dead eitherway, better to die with honor."
and be a traitor? no. *refuse to speak* dc30
Hideout: lots of traps.
When they arive, they will find a lone guardsman out side flaging them down.
