Session 24.5: The Rise of the Queen of Blades

by Gek Ferox

The Shadowfell

Time moves much slower here, there is no sun- always dark, everyone is always having sex, Demeter got a following quick because she had more time in the Shadowfell, nothing in between cities just badlands, we are lieutenant, a reflection of the faeywild like the opposite, technology is held back by the harsh environment, most technology is demon make imported from nine hells in exchange for souls

We are in Gloomwrought, there are Keepers, we are lieutenants of the deathless watch

Prince Rolan, hides in the palace, called Prince Rolan the deathless, been alive for 100 years and looks like he's in his 30s

Temple district- lots of preachers, usually spread across the city, not lots more chaos than usual, they contradict each other like they're arguing with each other rather than preach to the people, word of a false prophet, 3 large groups that seem to be in support, in opposed and say they are a deceiver, and others that scream about a prophecy we've never heard about before, its a woman who has arrived on the plane, speak of threat, false prophet or a saviour and should be worshipped, Queen of Blades is her title, arrived recently in SHadowfell, small following that believes she is the true prophet, Things that don't match up woman pale white skin, no tongue, two eyes one big yellow and insectoid, however none of this was in the prophet, Thinks that match up- lone person pale skin, silent and on a mission, walked straight to the heart of the city, apparently she walked through sorrowsworn as if she had no emotion worth to eat, she walked though the badlands and somehow is apparently now within the city walls

The Fettered Ward- entertainment district, more preachers, on the verge of riot, a preacher is standing on a platform with a religious text - the words "of oath" on the book, and reads the prophecy, he speaks of a creature, a person so bad no sorrowsworn will claim them, they are an incarnation fo sorrow themselves, they will walk through the city and claim her title by getting the onyx sword at the heart of the city- it is held deep below the palace, called the nice lives stealer, has nine skulls on the sword, when she claims it she will need to seek other items in her quest, no one knows what the quest is it is her own, true believers should sacrifice themselves to help her get what she wants, the preacher holds up the mace of Molag Bal and offers it to the Queen of Blades, everyone goes quiet, flash of white light, Demeter is here still with her antlers, she takes the mace and vanishes, preacher says "the time is nigh, the queen of blades will rise to her throne no matter the cost"

Preacher start the summoning circles in the cellar beneath him and summons 5 bearded devils and 1 bone devil, then 2 spined devils

Loads of devils and cult people are surrounding the castle and are clambering at the walls, they know that the black sword is there

The cultists are brandishing other cultists clothes and heads, we go under the ground to get to the room where the black sword is under

Watchcaptaim Halgrim is praying to a stained glass image of a woman and is clutching a symbol of Avasin, the woman might be Avasin, the room with that stained glass is locked with super powerful magic, seemingly more protected than the onyx blade itself

Halgrim is a zombie or something now ( D: ) and comes into the room with bearded devils, there's a pitfiend here too now

Demeter has counterspell, bitch, also can make zombies immediately, Zanthapus' and Belerathons' soul is now trapped within his corpse and is under Demeters control, Hecter is an animated empty suit, Halgrim is fully awakened back alive and the three of us are loosed on him
