Session 32: Animaesus and Tarrasques: Monsters Arise from Bloodmoons
General Summary
They continue the onslaught, but the Drow matron mother and her duo of demons take the initiative and cast magical bladed walls to tear through Ferrum, Alucard, and Thelas, and block the others off from Garvuld, Mel. They then charge, and Mel attacks the barrier protecting the Matron Mother, but she is paralyzed by the intense poison that gasses around her. THis forces Ferrum to face the Matron MOther alone, but he assaults her with such force that the bladed wall disappears, saving the young Thelas and Alucard from those blades. Ssech banishes the demons, and one is sent away never to return, the other is forced to fight Garvuld, still insensate from this bloodlust, who also attacks Ssech during his rage.
The demons also confused a young woman and elemental to engage with the others, but this is stopped once the corner the matron mother and fell her remaining demon. Ferrum brings her down with this divine, fiery blade, but Alucard takes the final stab, and within moments, traps her soul within a gilded cage. They attempt to interrogate the soul, but she answers cryptically at first, and an earthquake from the city above distracts them. Latisha attempts to break into the mind of the Matron Mother, but has no success. THus, Alucard asks her again for the knowledge of the divine word, and she gives them an anagram of both the common phrase for the word, but also the celestial term for its actual power and spell.
The group then begins various investigations to try to understand the word, but not trusting the newer group's formation, Mel and Ssech teleport above to go to Mel's apartment to find some solitude and safety to investigate further, and they notice the death of the Matron Mother, those brief moments where her soul was nowhere before the Cage caught her, this caused the Word of Power to flutter, and the tail of the Tarrasque arises four times to crash about the Temple of Macinfex.
Alucard takes the young woman back to his Clocktower workshop, and he rests and asks of her past and the dark deals and kidknappings that brought her there below the city, in the Drow Sanctum of the 12th House. She knows little.
Latish goes to work, and earns an honest pay to clear her mind of the battle and turmoil below in the depths of the city.
Garvuld, Ferrum. and Thelas go to the 11th House Binder Lord, Orcafor the Gnome, and they share how the complications of SOul Cages and Word's of Power are at play. Orcafor promises to research more for Garvuld as well, about his tiny demonic box. However, with the current situations, Orcafor wants to meet with Alucard and see this Soul Cage for himself. Thelas sends an air element to find what he cannot and tell the other High Elf, Alucard, the Binder Lord of the 11th House wishes to meet with him.
Meanwhile, Ssech and Mel come to the conclusion that the word of Power is technically still bound to the Matron Mother, and thus they need to find Alucard to release her so a new Binder-Lord can ascend for the 12th Word of Power.
Most now search for the High Elf Alucard, who has befriended a slave from the drow holds.
