The party prepared themselves for the upcoming battle in Bahamut's Palace. The god told them the Yuan-Ti army was besieging the city of O'Ellennor, where Queen Rienni and the remainder of the Eladrin army were holed up. They agreed to be teleported into the city at once, and Bahamut did just that.
The adventurers were greeted with the aftermath of the last assault on the city. Ruined houses, some still on fire, and corpses of soldiers and civilians were present wherever one looked. The walls, however, were still standing, and living soldiers were marching here and there, preparing for the next assault. The party decided they would head out towards the fortress dominating the hill above the city. Rabbadon and Melvin raised some of the corpses in the street to use in fighting Sseth, and then they all set out to meet with the Queen. Nurpus flew ahead on his mount and immediately let Rienni know the situation. Once the rest of them arrived they formed a plan on how to defeat Sseth.
Bahamut had told them the Corrupted army would likely collapse or be cured after Sseth's death, so they decided the best course of action was to isolate him and attack him while using the Power Stones Bahamut had granted them. The Queen let them know that Sseth usually oversaw the assault on the walls from atop a nearby hill with only a small company of guards present. The adventurers decided they would wait for the assault to begin and then teleport to the top of the hill and ambush Sseth.
They used the next few hours to prepare for the fight. Maple reconnected with her friend, Lady Belle, and listened to what had happened during the time they were gone. Nurpus outfitted himself with a proper lance and some better armour and practiced with his new armaments. Gertrude brewed a special tea to help her mental fortitude in the coming battle. Rabbadon and Melvin constructed a Flesh Golem from the corpses of the fallen, as well as buried some soldiers' bodies before the walls of the city to help create some chaos during the assault.
When the horns and drums sounded from the attacking army, the intrepid heroes were ready. They ascended to the top of the fortress's tallest tower and activated the Power Stones. Energy surged through them and they were suddenly stronger, faster, and smarter, and knew spells they had never even heard of before. Nurpus flew high into the clouds and spotted Sseth ascending the hill to watch over his army. The rest quickly teleported through a tree and prepared to face the god-emperor.
The battle was furious and long, with Sseth swallowing the heroes multiple times, but they always found a way out of his acidic stomach. His minions caused havoc with their longbows and constricting bodies, but the flesh golem Rabbadon and Melvin had constructed helped them overcome them. At one point Gertrude was dropped into the raging stream which flowed beneath the hill but was saved by Rabbadon teleporting him into his museum. At last, Nurpus swooped down one last time, using his magical bow to pierce Sseth through his eyes, sending him crashing down to the ground. Rabbadon then severed his head and teleported himself back to his museum.
The heroes looked around, everyone still standing, though some severely wounded, and breathed a sigh of relief. It was done. They looked upon Sseth's army, which had breached the gate and had been streaming into the city. The Corrupted had reverted back to their humanoid form, though some had been too disfigured and died during the process. Still, the Yuan-Ti were defeated and the Feywild was safe.
