Session 97: Animaesus and Tarrasques: Storms and Fey Vengeance
General Summary
Tenebris watches over the sleeping Kaly, still unsure of her strange tri-penta signal into the sky, what it may forebode. But with that, the city still lurches and still reels from the disappearance of the beast. But rest must be taken first.
Off in the distance, rumbling from a herd of centaur shakes the ground, with Strass'eh and Pocket leading their charge. They are but a few days from the city if not less.
Then even farther in distance south, the dwarven army marches in line and order, and north they do travel. North they will conquer and command.
Training with his new followers and children is what passes Tenebris' time.
Amu meets with the other leaders, the druids, after their own rest near from where the beast escaped from, a disappearance still on one has answers to, either. Yet, they are able to command the druidic transmutations, changing everyone attending--Amu, Gorgmongr, Jhir, Tenebris and his four followers, and now Pio, Vear, Aether, and Grary too. The Walkers must oversee this, for legitimacy of action must be earned.
Birdman follows by some tether to his heart and soul--he follows the tarraque in its tiny form, and they find their way out of the forests of fey. They arrive in an everbright grassland, that encompasses many miles to and fro, around them, the Birdman and his baby-like beast, the tarrasque. It seems something, and he drags into the golden expanse, a razor field of grass, but he swerves the tether of the beast, and in a way, manifests it into a board, one which he can surge upon. A building slowly starts coming into view, and the beast in drawn to it soon enough, almost insensate and driven to get to this structure as soon as possible.
Arrival happens, and soon they are absorbed into a scene of a carnival and small market that forms around and in front of this building, a theatre by the looks of it. All races, types, sizes: humanoids, goblins, fey, fiends, and more are about, gathering and eating, awaiting for the theatre doors to open.
Before they do, Birdman is drawn to the meat-sellers, only to notice he is small boy, and his beast is tethered with a red and white striped jumping rope, and his memories seem real, seem like a past he might have forgotten. This food the beast devours soon enough, and even sooner Birdman is able to be lead inside. Here he sees the beginning of the performances, of songs and dances, but the main event is introduced by a Succubus. She sees the new additions to the audience, Birdman and his beast, and she invites them to introduce themselves. They do, apprehensively, but at first is Guillisbrand, but that is a lie, and they know, the audience and succubus. The truth is of Birdman. That is legitimate. Then teh main event starts, and dark shadows form, with the master of the theatre arriving on stage within, first as a kobold, and a story of loss and names. Then as himself, with a monologue of legacy and names, of the truth behind following the fate of that legacy. Birdman is soon asked to perform, charmed, and he does, but then he leaves to the restroom. He lost track of time, and something has happened. His brain feels fuzzy and lost.
Trying to use the beasts head as a means to break the window, soon another lizardman appears; he asks what Birdman is doing, and being honest about his intentions, the lizardman reacts. He transmutes to the true Puppet masters form, and he tries to grapple and control Birdman. He never should have left. However, the beast is able to fire little spinal barbs as the Puppet Master, helping Birdman to widdle away the endurance of the Puppet Master with his bow and sword, even with the enchantment magic that just seeps off the lord of the Fey Theatre. It is only because of this help that Birdman is still alive.
He is able to claim the mask of the Puppet Master. He is now the Puppet Master. He realizes this after a rest, and then he is able to convince the creature, the beast to leave. However, the beast and he must merge to do so, again, merge again. The only way that makes sense if for Birdman to be eaten by the beast, so he allows that to happend despite the pain and insanity he tests.
With that, Birdman returns, and so does the beast of the City of Salt: Birdman is vomitted out. The leadership quickly, lead by Amu, convene around the arrival. Their plans are the same. The beast must be lead out of the city, the storm of vengeance must head south. The dwarves must not get what they have came for, no not at all.
