Session 71 - Zeos
General Summary
After reaching Fawnelle, the team took a long rest before moving on. They wanted to find a path to Kylar’s Domain in the Feydark.
There was a line at Antlerarches. Something was wrong in Sigil and folks couldn’t get through the magical portal to the City of Doors. The crowd surged backwards against the tide. Something very wrong came through to Fawnelle.
The newcomer was a strange millipede-shaped mechanical construct. It snaked over the crowd and attacked Whiffle Toesniffer. Then it turned around and charged the heroes. Ifrit took to the air and blasted the metal monster with eldritch magic until it stopped moving.
Lat’num inspected the broken parts and determined that the construct was made out of modron parts. The artificer knew that modrons (like Renestrae’s friend Bit) were beings from Mechanus.
When they finally got to Sigil, they were met with more lines. Bessie Bovine was hired to escort them to the appropriate Feydark portal, but many of the portals were offline. The locals complained that this usually happened when one group or another tried to defy the Lady of Pain’s authority and invade the city.
They had their answer soon enough, as more millipede constructs were seen harrassing modrons and swarming all over.
Someone whispered to Red and Lat’num. A voice came from a painting on the wall behind them. It identified itself as the Lady of Pain and offered them a payment of their choice if they took care of the root problem behind the constructs. They noticed that other groups were getting the same offer.
The Party negotiated to have their magical abilities and magical artifacts to be restored to power while in Sigil and to have unfettered access to all of the portals in town. The Lady of Pain agreed.
They were soon teleported to Zeos, the gatetown connected to the plane of Limbo.
A mile-wide astral ship in the shape of a cube ripped a hole between Limbo and Zeos. Parts of the ship seemed to be flaking off and distributing in all directions. One of the flakes flew near: it was one of the millipede/worm robots. The ship was slowy disintegrating, turning into millions of the creatures.
