Session 42

Setting: Hendolin Stronghold in Brightforge

After the meeting with the leaders of the countries, Daghrim and Salty are seen speaking to each other in hushed tones. Daghrim speaks up and tells the Order he'll go on ahead to the Lazy Elf Pub to prepare. Salty tells them they all need to meet there to discuss Order business. An hour later, they all meet in a backroom with Lizzy. They toast their fallen comrades and review what's left of their ranks:

Forsaken Expanse: Rhaine, Durzo, Steam and Edge remain

Gale: Gene Parmesan remains, who has just entered the Tower Eternal. Grisham is looking to retire after the war.

Errista: Lizzy remains. Willyam is still healing.

Brightforge: Daghrim and Salty are all that's left.

They question what to do after the war, and start talks about replenishing their ranks, but don't get too far. As they pass around drinks, they hear shouting from outside the pub. Grabbing their glasses, they run outside to see an image of Koyassa Oran in the sky. She speaks to the people of Brightforge and says the Tower and their nobles have all lied. They took everything from her, and it's time to take it back. She is then seen turing around with the Red Orb in her hand. She uses the Staff of Power to blast the side of a mountain, which then forms into the Tower Eternal. Sending a quick message to Gene, Durzo confirms that the actual Tower has been teleported.

Setting: The Tower Eternal

As the others run back to the Stronghold to march north with the armies, the team runs over to the Teleportation Circle at the Dirty Cantrip and uses it to teleport directly into the Tower Eternal. In the Teleportation chamber, they are met with Siril Goldenwood and his Shadow Walkers. A fight ensues. Steam uses his Ring of Obscuring to cast Fog Cloud, causing much chaos. Later, he casts a Wall of Fire. Rhaine and Siril are locked in an epic one-on-one battle that no one can see. They trade blows until Siril gets hit with the Wall of Fire. He runs away, but Rhaine charges through the fire right after him. He thrusts the Goldenwood Spear into his chest, saying, "This is for all the lives you took, including Hope's," and kills his cousin.

The fight wages on as smoke quickly fills the small round chamber. The Order is surrounded by enemies. What will they do next?
