Chapter 19: The Siege on Ky-Drizik Part 2

General Summary

First, Rizoyn Eilsrahel wakes up Sy in the Carriage house and takes him to Galaxa's tent.
He sees Galaxa focused on the rest of the kings who lay in their chairs, glowing strings coming from the backs of their heads and fading away.
As soon as Sy sits in the chair, a flash of white light blinds him and he's shot through the astral plane towards two figures.
Sycamore rolled 4 for and because of this, as he shot through the astral plane, he inhabited Budrash's Body.
He appears in Ky-Chu's lab as the rest of the Kings of Leon (Budrash in the Ky body) stand over Ky Chu's corpse.

If they search the lab, they can find a potion of healing, a corrupted potion of healing (Const saving throw of +12 if pass 1d8 healing if fail 1d8 of damage) Poison of the Crybaby (Must pass Const of 15 or the person cant stop crying for a turn), as well as Ky-Chu's Dagger.

Perc 10: They can find an unoppened later from Ky-Vol
Chu,
This is the last letter I will send to you
Had I known the level of your selfishness, your level of instability I would have never given you the rank I
The Hobgoblins promise and your Kobald inventions aided the cause of the Zo more than any hobgoblin before you, but the Warforged are the future, and your work is the past. Metallic skin needs not the sting of the lash or poison to obey, it is created for subservience.
Respond to me with an update on your work with Ky-Lok and an updated Kobald population count. The Great Tunnels require more diggers. Respond either in a letter or in person. I'd be content with a scry, but we both know that your Ky abilites are lacking in all ways that don't benifit your luddist inventions.
Vol.
The group decides to keep this document and bring it back to Hearthfield.
Perc 15: A note written on his desk:
"Feed Lok prisoners.
Observe if he takes on qualities of Tiefling."

SEARCHING
They all heard a beastial scream come from a room a ways away.
Will grabbed Ky-Chu's Dagger.
From the Poison garden, Sycamore wanted to test out the strength of Budrash's body and destroyed the stone walling to gain entry into the interrigation room.
HIBIZCUZ
In the interrigation room, they met Hibizcuz and freed him from the alter he was on. Hibizcuz healed some members of the party and grabbed Syrash's longsword. Hibizcuz had to overcome some stockholm syndrome.
As they exit the room, Ryuk was thrilled to see that down the hallway, the blood and gore of Ky who were attacked by the massive snake was everywhere, the snake's trail leading down the hall to the Replenishing Circle room.
They entered the Replenishing Circle room but none of them could decifer what it was floor outside of Hibizcuz recognizing that it was brought in from his old temple.
KY-LOK
They followed the Snake's blood path into a room moonlit by a hole in the ceiling. In the center they saw the tail of the cobra. Ryuk enters the room and starts talking to the snake, but the snake does not respond. The sound of flesh rendering and bones breaking is heard as the severed tail of the cobra is thrown from the moonlight and the massive 10 foot image of Ky-Lok is seen. Ky-Lok casts magic weapon on his chained fists and splatters Ryuk all over the wall, mid-sentence. The rest of the Kings engage Ky-Lok while Hibizcuz heals Ryuk. Syrash breaks the massive jug of healing potion affixed to Ky-Lok's back cage as Four-Chains, Uul, and Budrash launch ranged attacks at him. Ky-Lok engages in close quarters combat with Syrash, Uul casting enlarge on Syrash to even the playing field. Ky-Lok takes a bite of Hibiizcuz, growing scales all over his body, but his jar is pryed open by Syrash who shoots lightning down his throat. Ky-Lok takes a bite out of Syrash and grows larger scales, shooting lightning down his throat but failing to do any damage. Four-Chains shoots a dynamic matter arrow at Ky-Lok's face, rendering half it's flesh off, and scaring Hibizcuz due to his fear of fire, then Four-Chains clears an arrow through the beast's throat, killing it.
As most of the party searched the room, Big Syrash lifted Four-Chains up through the hole in the ceiling, Ryuk crawling up the wall to follow. Four-Chains looked around the Wreckage of Drizik before returning below.
KY-QUA
Continuing the trend of breaking walls down, Syrash destroyed the wall that lead to the school's infermery, waking up Ky-Qua who was pinned to the wall by 2 of Four-Chains' arrows and promptly killed by Syrash.
KY-FRAGILE-BLOCK
After looting the nurse' office they headed north to the final unexplored room, hatching a plan to ambush and murder the final Ky who they believed was inside.
Ryuk flattened his body to flow beneith the door and look around the statue-clad room, not seeing any figures but hearing whistling.
Budrash enters his own mind to converse with Ky-Kyu about who is behind the door. She tells Budrash with great distain that Ky-Fragile Block is inside.
Four-Chains fails sneaking inside and alerts Ky-Fragile Block who threatens to kill him but is interrupted by Uul who pretends to be a ranking Ky officer. Uul tells Fragile Block that Ky-Chu has been killed and that he needs to return home. Fragile Block refuses, insisting that his work at the school is important, but Uul insists, convincing him that he may need to leave, but just as Fragile Block gave in to Uul's order, Ryuk fails to sneak in from the ceiling and gets attacked by Fragile Block. Fragile Block immediately turns on Uul and Four-Chains, casting Blur on himself, and inciting a Ky-Kyu channeled Budrash to jump into the room yelling "Hey Fucko" and casting lighning lure on the Tabaxi. Ryuk holds Ky-Fragile Block still with his blob form as Syrash starts destroying his statues. Enraged, Ky-Fragile Block casts Transmute Rock on a block of Marble, wrapping it arounding Syrash's head.
Ryuk crawls up and absorbs Ky-Fragile Block, whispering that he is the spirit of Ky-Chu and he needs to take over his body, slowly drowning the child.
THE STUDENTS AND NEW HEADMASTER
The Kings double back, believing that if the final Ky is in the school, he is sleeping in the same room as the students. Before going inside the bedroom, Budrash talks with Ky-Kyu who tells him that Ky-Zef is not in the school but in the slave quarters of Drizik. She also asks him to spare the Ky students who have not done anything wrong.
Ryuk enters the bedroom with Budrash and Uul, Ryuk imitates Ky-Chu's voice and tells the children that Ky-Vol launched a sneak attack on the school, betraying the Zo, and killing many Ky and turning him into a blob. He tells the students that they need to evacuate the school and return home. Before he leaves, he tells an outspoken Bugbear student, Ky-Beroret that he sees great potential in him and that he should lead the school, should they stay and fight.
As soon as they leave the room, Ky-Kyu pulls Budrash into her head and demands Ryuk return into the room and give her the role as leader, eventually settling for hand to hand combat to decide who leads the Drizik school children. Ryuk returns to the room and tells them that any of the students are willing to challange Ky-Beroret.
DRIZIK
Making their way from the school into town, the group encounters a group of Ga Hobgoblin soldiers who approach them. Ryuk attempts to convince them that he is the headmaster, but they don't buy it.
The group splits up in the middle of the Slave district, Uul, Hibizcuz, and Budrash entering a Kobald Breeding Lab. Upon entering the lab, Uul finds out that Ky-Zef is in his colosseum and convinces the two Ga guards inside the building to take a break, leading them outside where they are attacked by Ryuk, Syrash, and Four-Chains. While the other half of the group is fighting, Uul unlocks the cages of pregnant Lizardfolk.
During the fight with the second pair of Ga, Four-Chain's astral string is cut, sending him back to Hearthfield.
After killing the two Ga, Uul, Budrash, and Hibizcuz walk out to join the rest of the party who have set Four-Chains' body ablaze.
KY-ZEF
Entering Ky-Zef's colosium, they are questioned by the Slavemaster who sees through Ryuk's imperonation of Ky-Chu stating that hsi master was immune to all kinds of potions. Ky-Zef casts Hold on Ryuk and Zef starts fighting the group, getting beaten up at every angle.
The fight wakes up the hundreds of Kobald slaves in their cages.
Ky-Zef casts a Hypnotic pattern into the sky, only mesmirizing Ryuk.
As Zef nears death, he frees 5 Kobald slaves who charge them
Half way into the fight, Uul lights 12 sticks of dynamic matter and suicide bombs Ky-Zef, but falls short and blows himself up along with damaging everyone in the area. This blast somehow does not scare Hibizcuz.
As a last ditch effort, Ky-Zef casts Black Tenticles, holding Budrash and Ryuk, but not Syrash who punches through the tentacles and hits Ky-Zef's head so hard it snaps straight up, killing him.
After the fight, Budrash and Ky-Kyu have one final conversation, Ky-Kyu taking over her body to tell Ryuk and Syrash that she will lead these Ky and make sure they never undermine the Kings of Leon, but will not disobey or work against the wishes of the Zo. She is then given Ky-Chu's dagger and unplugs the string from the back of her head, leaving for the school.
Hibizcuz spaces off while Ryuk and Syrash remark how he probably wants to die since everything he has ever known or loved is gone. Ryuk and Syrash form a plan to pile their remaining Dynamic Matter around them, unlock the Kobold cages, and light them all at once, blowing up the entire stadium and killing everyone inside, thus preventing their bodies from being left behind. As soon as the dynamite is set, Hibizcuz snaps to, realizes that they both all about to kill everyone, and starts sprinting for the door. As Hibizcuz is half way to the door, the Kobald Cages are unlocked and hundreds of vicious slave warriors start bounding towards Ryuk and Syrash. Ryuk lights the dynamite at his feet with Burning Hands and triggers a massive explosion that destroys the colossium and propels Hibizcuz out of the enterence arch.
