Exoneration:

Rolen, Jaquette and Lucky went back to the court room and took a Stone to the judge Kai-garn Triskin. Judge Triskin expressed his sympathy of the party losing two members. Lucky looked sad. He granted the surviving members of each a robe with epilates granting them the status of Exemptus Mechanus as well as 3 permanent badges of magical use. The judge asked for the party to recap what they did and what they found. Rolen explained that there was some sort of planar portal in the room next to rogue Modrons. Judge Triskin asked a Maut to proceed to that location and disable that portal. The judge offered the party accommodations for the evening and told them the law has been fulfilled and they are free to go. He reminded them not to break any major laws such as murder, steeling, gluttony, envy etc. Rolen, Jaquette and Lucky thanked Judge Triskin and headed back to the portal where Tyrus and Anna were. Rolen messaged Anna and told her “Metal-boy coming your way. Check if the iris is closed. Figure out how to deal with it, we’ll be there shortly.” Anna replied: “What do you mean by Metal-boy? You should be more specific; do you have the slightest idea of how little that narrows it down?”

The portal

Anna and Tyrus found switches that control the portal and spent some time figuring it out and discovered exactly how to use it. They received Rolen’s message and didn’t quite know what to do with it. They turned off the portal, closed the Iris and searched the area and found a place to hide. They hid and watched a Marut walk into the room. Tyrus recognized the Marut as one of the inevitables an decided not to attack it. They watched it go into the room with the portal and smash the iris and the panel next to the door.
  Jaquette, Rolen and Lucky made their way back to Anna and Tyrus. Anna was trying to repair the IRIS to open it again. Realizing that repairing may not work she instead used her tools to remove 2 of the iris’s teeth so they could jump in one at a time.
  Tyrus suggested that the party take a rest and then go directly to Limbo. Anna wanted to go get more information. Lucky was concerned with using magic in Limbo. Anna borrowed a robe from Jaquette and went to the Library to get more information from brother Thomas. She also gave brother Thomas one of the stones in exchange for the spell scroll of Plane Shift. Jaquette gave Lucky 1,000 gp worth of gems and he fabricated a beautiful gem encrusted bowl.
  Jaquette woke up early in the morning and prepared a “Heroes’ Feast.” Everyone enjoyed it a felt quite good afterwards. They set the settings of the portal to Limbo and they began jumping in. Lucky, Tyrus and then Jaquette. Anna asked Rolen to try to help destroy the portal somehow before he jumped in. They decided to simply tie a rope to the control switch and turn it off as they jumped through. Anna jumped in and Rolen went in pulling the rope as he went.

Limbo

Lucky came through the portal and materialized in a pocket of air. Tyrus materialized in a pocket of half earth and air. Jaquette arrived in a pocket of primordial soup and found she couldn’t breathe. Rolen arrived in a pocket of air and fire and Anna arrived in a pocket of air. Jaquette took some lighting damage and concentrated on the soup and mentally converted it to air. Rolen, in the pocket of fire thought of warm air and using his intelligence converted the fire to air. Lucky started to laugh a little manically. The party all thought of moving to the Githzerai. Lucky concentrated on creating a road to the Githzerai and created a road directly in front of him. He started to think about moving in that direction and started moving forward. The rest of the party followed while Rolen tried to create precious gems out of floating elements to no success.
  The party all thought about moving in the same direction and successfully moved pretty much together. They continued to all try to modify the elements around them into specific items but generally only succeeded in converting things into base elements of earth, fire, water, or air. They headed directly to a large floating rock about 1/8th of a mile in diameter.

A Chaotic Dreadnought

The party split up slightly and maneuvered around the large floating rock and saw a very large creature in the distance. As they got closer, Lucky recognized this creature as something he’d heard about in the Astral plane: An Astral Dreadnought. He noticed that it looked different than he expected. He messaged a couple Gith, distracted them and the Chaotic Dreadnought crushed the Gith in its claws. Rolen zoomed in and fired a couple bolts from his crossbow. Seeing that they damaged the creature he said, “If it bleeds, we can kill it.” Lucky laughed and cast a fireball at the creature. The creature dodged part of it but still took a considerable amount of fire damage and headed directly to Lucky and Rolen. Rolen moved away from Lucky as far as he could and fired some of his most powerful bolts at him. The Dreadnought responded transporting Rolen to a demi plane.
  Jaquette tried to call lightning on the creature but her spell failed, and her hair doubled in length! The creature moved towards Lucky and struck him with his claw and then bit him. Tyrus cast hunter’s mark on the creature, it failed, and he discovered that he could teleport 20 feet as a bonus action. Tyrus fired a few arrows striking the creature. The creature kept striking Lucky with his claws. Anna focused on a rock and turned it into a ball of fire and flung it at the creature. Lucky cast fireball at the creature.
  The Dreadnought again clawed at and then bit Lucky rendering him unconscious and it swallowed Lucky. The party continued to attack the Dreadnought. Rolen cast a spell and a beard of feathers appeared on his face. Rolen was about to finish off the creature but a female Githzerai got in between him and the creature and shielded the Dreadnought. The Githzerai stabbed the Dreadnought in his face and then the Gith disappeared. Rolen wanted to kill it but he paused his attack (although he was quite mad.) Jaquette tried to charm the creature but it failed. The creature started to back away and all the creatures that had vanished (including an unconscious Lucky) re-appeared in the space where the Dreadnought was. One of the Githzerai cast wall of force in front of the Dreadnought to prevent it from fleeing and Rolen killed it with one more crossbow bolt.

Githzerai

The Githzerai approached the party and seemed thankful and kind. The party acted respectful. Jaquette healed Lucky. Lucky started communicating with the Githzerai. He explained they are looking for the Githzerai to get help. The Githzerai were impressed at their ability to help with the Chaotic Dreadnought. The Githzerai started focusing their thoughts and created a large area of earth and air around the party. The party sat down on the dirt as the Githzerai transported the bubble through the chaos. The party saw a massive floating fortress made of metal. The doors opened and the Githzerai lead the bubble inside. Inside they saw floating islands and one with a large monastery. They approached the monastery…
