In the bowels of a dead god in the astral sea
Orc Gasha is part of the crew, rescued.
Her + brother dragged into the bowels by a purple worm sized tentacle.
Lord of the Rotten Powers
Body parts, random stuff floating in a liquid floating around the creature.
The orc is in there too, flayed and dismembered.
Epic battle with the Vivisector
Gnarls blasts a lightning bolt at the Vivisector, which does some damage but is also deflected to some flesh golems!
Jain casts haste and moves 80' to the boss, dodging a claw monster attack. A statue screams when she hits the boss.
Jain is grappled by the boss and teleported near a giant wall mouth.
Fell does a massive crit sneak attack, which is deflected to destroy some flesh golems.
A screaming golem is destroyed by booming blade.
Gnarls gets mind blasted down to 8 HP, healed up on his + Sugar's turn.
The boss summons a giant wall of flesh, separating Sugar from the group, and goes for the kill!
Gosh-a blows holes in the wall, Jain cuts a hole through to the boss + grappled Sugar.
Does some damage, but the boss teleports him + Sugar away to the wall.
Sugar goes limp, under the barrage of attacks! And is taken to the mouth wall!
Gnarls uses a gem to banish the boss! "The work of the rotten tower must continue"
After the battle
We feel sick, like an eye of Sauron sees us (Vecna)
Put together, the rod has powers
- Commune
- Arcane Gate
Gnarls finds a humanoid rotten, nasty hand. Reeks of magic, necromancy, the strongest kind.
Loot
- Piece of the Rod of Some Number of Parts
- Hand of Vecna
The crew comes down to see whats up, collects the orcs, then asks for us to help them leave, then head back.
We cast commune with Mystra
- Is this the hand of Vecna? Yes
- Can it be transported safely? No
- Can it be transported in a bag of holding? No
Hand comes from betrayal of Vecna by Kas. Mystra is telling us its an ultimate evil.
Back in Sigil
Handwave back to Sigil
- Spelljam to the Rock of Baal
- Spider portal to Sigil
Sigil is as weird + eccletic as ever
Tasha + Illustral take the hand and put it on a demi plane for safety.
Tasha talked to the demon lord Gritz, he'll lend us the Chime of Unmaking.
That can send Vecna back to dimension/ planet Earth, then limit him to the plane. Super banishment kind of thing. Then we all have visions.
Gnarls: terrible destruction on his people, goliaths of the north driving southern clans in to slavery. John, Jane, Jacob Jingleheimerschmidt
Fell/Sugar: Silverymoon Sword Coast, orc legions, goblins nearly wiped out. Some goblins, sister Laura fight on, Sugar kin. Lots have fallen to Vecna.
Jain: Eldar + Imperium vs Tyranids + Maimed One
Sugar wants money for the Hand of Vecna. They're amused.
