Sesssion 18: The Battle for Black Pearl Keep

by Gek Ferox

Blackpearl Keep 14/6/1436

Fight

Info forgotten to say last session before we say the frost giants for the first time: Immediately to the right and a bit back form the main door of the keep there's two cellar doors, one is open and the other is splintered, big bolder planted in the stairway leading down, there's a flickering light (torchlight probably) coming from below, probably something is down there and not moving or something goes down there enough for a torch to be left lighting

Dragon that we thought was dead that was impaled and encased in crystal moves its eyes- we said to the archfey to "deal with" the dragons so it's not actually dead, he is specifically watching Gek

Arthur and Niamh try to help Liang (liutenant of the 1st aerial company), she has lost an arm and leg, stable now, not waking up, we carry her on a makeshift stretcher through the tunnels

Demeter is here lolololololololol, her sword is covered in black carved skulls, two have glowing red eyes, she steps out of the sewers, she caresses part of the crystal that encases the dragon, she points and a people rush past us towards her and surrounding the dragon and draw small magic circles

Demeter has as the eye of Vecna in her eye socket- it is insectoid and much larger than the normal eye

The cultists are not human or anything else, grey ashy skin, eyes are dark and massive pupils, not used to being in sunlight, Niamh offers one of them a red coin, he starts to puzzingly reach out for it and Demeter is suddenly behind Niamh and smashes his hand, Demeter walks towards the lieutenant on the stretcher

Arthur goes to stop Niamh from doing more bad things, and Gek starts annoying Demeter and walking with her as she continues going down the corridor and Vordokov is there, he shakes hands with Demeter, Demeter is the reason most of his people are alive

We (Demeter, cultists, the god guys) start leaving and as we walk, we hear the rattling of chains from where we came from

Camp

We're at a military encampment that was set up, Niamh follows Demeter into a big tent with a massive map with coastline and a city in the middle, Demeter opens another map or this area with lots of Xs on it, Niamh asks what she can do to get her to acknowledge and talk to her, Niamh hears a voice with two voices layered on top of each other in her head, Demeter asks Niamh if she knows where the Pegasus or Unicorn are, Niamh says she doesn't know, Niamh asks if Demeter still loves her she replies that she doesn't know who she is, "what is your name", "I don't have one yet" "I'm something of a daughter to you", silence from Demeter

Tents are made with wood that is grey and ashen, most of the encampment seems to be the cultists' stuff, the resources used in the camp are all quite alien

Vordokov says that the Ultra-Extra-Fucking Awful Paralysis Poison would probably

Camp 15/6/1436

Titus (ambassador) comes with goblin slaves and two dragon penetrating arrows that Vordokov would prefer to not use if possible

Sylac says that the purple crystals might let the Crystal Prince spy on us, Sylac had given the crystal princes favour to us which is the highest of rude so he extra super hates Sylac and kinda also hates us too

Big Fight

Demeter shows up and teleports us up to the roof and she ends up getting the final blow and one of the skulls on her scary sword start to glow- she absorbed something from the dragon

count how many red coins we have, research the cultists, ask the medic his name
