Session 107

General Summary

All I Want for Battle... is Four BOIS

Ghilani teleports The Deep End into battle with a massive, building-sized creature that has a tendency to grin – revealing thing, razor-sharp teeth – as it revels in the battlefield. It's almost odd. It's movements, expressions, and intentions all seem far more intentional, almost humanoid... as opposed to beastial or animalistic. How odd. Moira ends up paralyzed and Declan becomes the guy on mid-ocean lifeguard duty, diving down to catch her before she can experience a far worse version of her time sinking in Varoona. Declan himself, however, is nearly drowned. Rani is struck by a fear unlike any other, but managed to weasel her way back to the Twilight Sanctuary zone to get that taken care of, but not before getting smacked from the lazy, grinning creature. Newt decides the tsunami wave looks just like a wall, only made of water, so he ghost walks right through it and continues shooting the building. Ghilani settles on turning into the smoker version of himself and spitting lighting at everything in his path. 


With one final strike, the odd miasma encasing on the creature finally sloughs off. The bioluminscent patterns across its body revealed they begin to pulse. The massive body begins to move more and its expression shifts... as it begins to rampage. Rani flings herself onto the massive creature as it begins to dive beneath the waves. Ghilani shatters the others to the creature and just in time. The whirlpool that was forming might have torn them apart!


Buried within the base of the creature's throat is an odd crystalline, yet gelatinous, unidentified glowing object. It pulses with light and radiates fear. It is unknown, terrifying, and also enticing. As the group approaches, two worm-like creatures covered in dark miasma emerges. With a few well placed strikes and a time lightning burst, the odd object shattered and the creature's drone choked and sputtered out... falling silent. Moving next to the top of the creature, Rani and Ghilani were coated in acid as one eye exploded. Moira and Declan were paralyzed and Newt felt a little off his game. The other eye, however, was destroyed. 


The behemoth released a noise between a wail and a roar, breaking the surface of the water only to shudder, fall, and collapse... still. Bioluminscent patterns on its skin flickered and flashed... then darkness... and then another burst of light. Its skin became almost translucent, drak tendrils separating and splitting. There was the faintestoutline of a humanoid shape deep within. Portions of the muslces tore and shifted. The faint echo of a heartbeat. The creature was down... but clearly not yet dead. Slapping on some healing, the Deep End descended into the tunnel of flesh (?) and bone (?).


Within the building-sized creature, there was a dome encased by flesh, tendon, and bone. The only light emanated from a creature's eyes. Watching. They are not a race that anyone recognized and when they spoke, the language was foreign. The creature grins, revealing razor-sharp teeth. The malice in it's eyes matches that of the behemoth.

I am Szat'Kadékk. First of the Abyss. Lord of the Depths. Tyrant of Darkness. Master of the Unknown. Purveyor of Fear.
I am the Jalasaran god of the Deep Sea... And Dremora shall hide no longer from me.

Ghilani and Newt attempted to speak with the creature. It merely continued to grin. Hey, do you think its just trying to by time? Listening, the faint heart beat is picking up in intensity. The walls of flesh begint to close. Ah Shit... Ghilani goes to attack... and falls on the ground, clutching his head in fear. Newt screams "What did you do to my friend" as the same thing happens to him. Declan, however, is able to drive his sword through the creature's heart. It looks down... almost confused as blood begins to drip from the body. Garbled and muffled, a larger creature drones out. A dying cry.

I was Szat'Kadékk. Flee... or you shall join me in the Depths.

The body shudders as it began to sink. The Deep End quickly takes their leave and rejoined the battle. Soon, the remaining three corrupted deities fall... their corpses and those of their armies dragged back beyond the Barrier... back into the unknown.

In the End...

As the last of the enemy forces falls… a silence settles over the water. The churning waves settle to a gentle roll. The clouds seem to part, allowing light to pass through unhindered. The Barrier glitters and shines in the moonlight, a mesmerizing rainbow-like effect… though it remains shattered. The gaping hole permitting you a view into the vast stretch of ocean beyond. And then, the silence is shattered as cheers erupt from all around.

It is done. A battle fought. Victory earned. Dremora shall live another day more. Perhaps this marks the beginning of a longer war. What else might lie beyond the Barrier? Will more enemies come crawling upon your shores?
And yet... curiosity. It is what drove Judas down this path. One that you have seen to completion. What does lie beyond? A question for another time.
Now, as the adrenaline settles, peace rings out. This is your continent. This is your home.
Above you, the outline of a Temple vanishes. Today it is your day. Not theirs.

As The Deep End checks in on their comrades and allies... a cold sensation. Within a darkened abyss, three figures wait. The Void, still donning the form of Judas, rests on a throne of pure, cold darkness. To its left, the silver-haired woman with veins still blackened. To its right, a still forever unimpressed Horizon. The Void will go beyond the Barrier, per its oath. It will destroy what threats linger. Enjoy the continent you have earned. Perhaps one day... your paths might cross again. The cold presence of the Void, that has lingered for months, finally fades...


But... so long as there is light... a shadow will always remain.
