Session 50: Challenging Bahamut for the Githzerai

It is now the 13th of PanAelsh, roughly 10am.
Ash is still in this party while Lyra is in the other party.
 
Tempest and Passin have jsut teleported away to large temple while they were grappling over the shard Passin has.
 
The walls are made out of black marble, and there are lots of trinkets and items sitting around in here. In the center, there is a giant statue of Shar. Passin is controlling the shards in Tempests hand, but Tempest is able to maintain hold of them.
 
Passin goes off about being in a plane of order or rules or something and then teleports them to a different plane. Limbo. Passin tries to turn Tempest into a fish, but Tempest resists.
 
Turns out, if you think it here, then it is possible. Tempests uses this to transfer Passin and himself to the Abyss.
 
At this moment, Tempest sees a giant blue dragon flying down towards him. Apparently it's just a case of mistaken identity. The dragon is looking for Pazuzu. The dragon's name is "StarWing" He comes from the plane of Air.
 
Passin is like, "yeah, i'm gettin the fuck out of here" and teleports out with his shard. Tempest is left to hang out with StarWing who invites Tempest to be his minion, bu then he flies away. Tempest banishes himself back to us and now we continue.
 
Tempest tells us about Limbo and how you can use your thoughts to create anything. Ash suggests that we all go to Limbo to imagine having the shards, and then wait it out for. Ash ends up staying behind with the golems, Hazel, Lufere and Tempest go to Limbo, using Tempest's hammer.
 
Ash is left with the golems and she decides to start teaching them some tricks to do a show while she waits. Moments later a group of orcs run towards her and says Aurendille sent them with a message. Living Flame has escaped and it is flying this way. It's just over there. Ash starts to prepare the golems for battle.
 
Meanwhile, Tempest and the others teleport to Limbo. They run into some monk githzerai who tells them to take cover. Some red dragons are flying right towards them.
 
Tempest tries to think of the red dragons disappearing, but it does not work. The red dragons lay havoc to this place and fly off. I guess the githzerai were trying to hide here in limbo, but someone must have ratted them out and they were found by their enemies. They try and assist with the injured as best they can.
 
Meanwhile, Ash is forming her golems into circles that can leap onto the dragon if he comes down far enough.
 
She's in a bit of a panic. The Living Flame dives down and immediately uses a fire breath on some of the golems. She has 20 of her golems throw rocks at the dragon as she charges at his eyes. She is not able to get a hit in herselc, but the golems do a fair amount of damage and end up scaring off The Living Flame. WTF?
 
Meanwhile, Tempest tries to speak with Bahamut, but Bahamut won't see him because he isn't complete without Leland, Lyra and Faenor with him. Tempest starts blaming everyone else about this issue. in very much Tempest fashion.
 
Hazel is like, why don't you imagine them being here and says "like Tempest is here" and then a sword with Tempests soul in it appears at Tempest's feet.
 
They try to imagine Ash and Lyra there, but just a little floaty card is floating down and it says "no" - Mordenkainen
 
Actually and 8 year old version of Lyra appears.
 
They imagine an unpossessed Faenor and he falls to the ground dead. He doesn't have a heart. Tempests thinks of his heart appearing in him and he stands up and starts to go crazy and on fire. Hazel thinks that he has control of himself, and it works. Faenore is now in control of himself.
 
Now that Tempest has everyone here, technically, all the starts light up and he is able to speak to Bahamut.
 
He asks Bahamut if he would help the githzerai against the red dragons in this place.
 
Little Lyra suggests that his canaries could turn huge and help protect the githzerai. At that moment the canary on her should turns into a Bronze dragon. His name is Long blabrabalad. Aka Storm Wing. He want sot show Lyra his paintings. As they try to wander off to do this, Bahamut pulls everyone back and is like focus everyone.
 
He says he would be willing to champion these folks here and send some dragons to help.
 
BUT Tempest has to prove himself worthy first. He must challenge Bahamut. Ash poofs into existence here and tells everyone she scared away The Living Flame. He leaves a platinum stone that we just have to hold and think of him to summon him back when we are ready.
 
One of the iron golems that Tempest has picks up the Leland sword and starts swinging it around. Apparently Leland is able to control the iron golem from the sword.
 
We summon Bahamut again to challenge him.
 
We are in a field with angels flying over head. I guess we are in Mt. Celestia now.
 
BAhamut appears. and we fight.
 
little lyra sings songs the whole time trying to convince Bahamut to backdown or that his heart is softened.
 
Lufir ends up going down and Tempest banishes his unconscious body back to the material plane before he can be eaten. We don't know where he's at or if he's ok, but he did succeed his death saving throws.
 
Little Lyra tries to convince Bahamut to let them live and help the githzerai because they went into this impossible fight knowing they would likely loses. Bahamut tells her he will not go back on his words, but if the others yield, he will stop.
 
Ash yields. Bahamut stops attacking her
Lufir is not there anymore
Tempest refuses to yield....which is brave and bold, and very stupid.
 
He ends up taking on a full breath attack and succumbs to it.
 
Little Lyra projects her voice to make it sound like Tempest is saying "I yield" Bahamut pulls his soul out and asks him directly and Tempest is like NOOOO I never yield.....and Bahamut finds it quite enduring. He puts Tempests soul back into his body and ends up sending a gold dragon to help the githzerai anyway.
 
I can't believe Tempests stubbornness and perseverance worked....it fucking worked. He actually saved the Githzerai.
 
Lufir is in Eldoria, BUT we don't know that. Ash asks Bahamut how we can get little Lyra back to her timeline. Our only option is to go back to Limbo and think of her being back in her timeline.
 
We take a long rest and the next day we follow this plan and get Lyra back home and the rest of us get back to Eldoria. We find Lufir and reunite.
 
This is where we end.
 
It is now the 14th of PanAelsh, roughly 10am.
