Session 92

Finale

Council of the Gods

• The party is transported to a plane where the divine beings dwell. Towering in front of the party are The Old Gods. Akenatun speaks:

“Guardians of the mortal world, speak.”

• Theobald asks if they are already dead. The gods tell the party that they are not yet dead. Theobald pleads to send the party back to the mortal world. Akenatun tells the party that The Old Gods need the party too.
• Akenatun explains the ramifications of killing Miledu.

“Miledu’s death will come at a great cost. His death will herald the arrival of an otherworldly evil… We need to know your decision, will you kill Miledu or continue binding him?

• Akenatun tells the party that binding Miledu will only delay the inevitable, but it might give time for the world to prepare. The Sun-god gives the ultimate choice to the party:

“The fate of the world is undecided. You have the choice to decide which fate awaits it. Will you bind Miledu and buy time for the world, or will you face the great evil head on?”

• Thoradin asserts that he wants to bind Miledu to buy enough time. The others decide that they must defeat Miledu once and for all. Thoradin respects the party’s decision.
• Akenatun addresses the party:

“It seems the future is decided. Now I will lend you help.”

The New Gods

• Four gods appear in front of the party: Aulephi, Savras, Aisef and Macchi. The four gods bestow the party with divine power:

Aisef: ” I will give you healing and rest.”

Aulephi: “I will give you courage.”

Macchi: “I will give you my strength.”

Savras: “I will give you foresight.”

• Theobald approaches Aisef and asks her the following:

“Aisef, am I on the right path?”

• Aisef replies:

“Child, there is no right path. If your heart desires it, then it is right. There is no direction, no road to walk through, no instruction to follow.”

• Theobald asks again:

“Whatever road, Aisef, will you walk beside us?”

• Aisef allays Theobald’s worries.

“All this time I have walked beside you.”

• Akenatun addresses the party:

“I have given you the freedom to decide your future. Now use our power to defeat your foes.”

• Another flood of divine light envelops the party. They are soon teleported back to where Miledu is.

Against Tiamat

• The party sees Tiamat talking to the bound Miledu. Splix hears Tiamat’s words:

“Miledu, conduit of Vidra, your power shall be mine.”

• The party fights Tiamat. During the battle, Macchi tackles Tiamat, limiting the dragon god’s movement.
• After a long-drawn fight, the party ultimately defeats Tiamat.

Tiamat’s Last Words

• Tiamat utters a divine word that banishes half the party. Thoradin, Kiris, Arc and Adikia survive the attempt, while Theobald, Splix, Noah and Adeena are banished in Suirsya.
