D&D Session 23 - You're not actually dead
Oct. 21st, 2017 11:32 amThings are starting to come together, and we've entered into the realm of myth and religion.
Following our slaying (Or maybe not?) of the Father of Beasts, we returned to see the elven queen. We'd been told that what we saw here might be true, or it might be wishes, or it may be how things went in a different reality. Anyway, we got some treasure (a headband that creates a beam of light from the forehead, so OBVIOUSLY Kaz took it), and were allowed to free the unicorn. This actually proved tricky, as none of us speak Unicorn. And the rogue was led on a merry chase, only to have an angel of fire appear when he got close. The dwarf saw this as his god made manifest and rushed towards it. It was a comedy of errors but also kinda frustrating because I don't think any of us had any idea of what to do. We figured it out, however, and returned the unicorn to Damian, who immediately turned into a demon and burst into ash.
It seems that the consciousness that has been guiding us was Damian's helper, and what we were seeing were the events leading up to the cataclysm called the Red Harvest, from whence the vampires came. There were some more metaphorical scenes, including one where we went COMPLETELY the wrong way and ended up dicing with Death. The rogue basically offered up all of our souls (while cheating) and I missed an AWESOME opportunity to build Kaz's character a bit more. Following that encounter, I had 8 HP and we went almost immediately into a boss battle with the god of the forge. We ended the session mid-combat, and we were told the rogue was going to be killed immediately due to the player realising the character was creating too much drama and wanted to play a more laid back character.
I'm still pretty sure Kaz is going to die next session, just because I'm tapped out of skills and healing, and going toe-to-toe with a fucking god.
