Wedding Party
When the Ring Bound got back to Arabel after dealing with Flordarious, Larkspur recieved a formal invitation to Therrin Obaskyr's wedding in a few days. The party went on a shopping spree to get some fancy clothes, and Larkspur also got Mith's published. The party also prepped to essentially run security for the whole event, with Larkspur getting the church of Pelor to Hallow the church and the reception area.
Meanwhile, on his way north Lux encountered Bobbie Robbie and managed to sovereign glue his (Lux's) hand to Bobbie's head. He then followed Bobbie through a portal to the fire plane when Bobbie attempted to flee. He then convinced Bobbie to go back to Arabel where the rest of the party was. The rest of the party quickly moved into the demi-plane bag of holding. Larkspur scanned him to discover there was nothing out of the ordinary save a special glowing spark of energy in his chest. He told the party that he had at some point sold the Seven-Fingered Hand organization some bad information on them, but didn't appear directly affiliated with them. He said he sold the information to a human-looing guy going by Diablo Erebus, who turned out to possibly be Lux's father. Bobbie Robbie and Lux then took off to Regaclith to get some universal solvent.
Lux arrived at Regaclith just as Frank the Three-Headed Lich was escaping from Regaclith University (See: Detention! ). He found the central crystal of the university and discovered that Daisy was a virtual warforged trapped within it to hold back The Wyrm. Lux managed to save Daisy at the cost of letting the wyrm get loose. He then raced from the collapsing university to discover that Frank and Red were attempting to destroy the statue of Bahamut that was trapping another third of the god of chaos. Lux managed to absolutely obliterate Frank, but Red still got off an explosive shot that wrecked the statue unleashing 2/3s of the god of chaos.
oops.
In the meantime, the other Ring Bound attended the royal wedding, overseeing the gathering, the ceremony, and much of the reception with no incident. Then assassins broke in and hit Therrin with an extradimensional arrow that essentially collapsed two bags of holding together. Therrin was caught in it after Larkspur jumped in front of Ronda Tiyanna, Therrin's new wife. Larskpur managed to shove him out, taking off his arm and losing a leg in the process. Therrin, the dumbass, turned right around and shoved Larkspur out and got himself stuck in the black hole. One of the assassins, in defiance of the theoretical Hallow on the venue, turned into a pit fiend as Ashe Trickson and Cribbins jumped into the holes after the king. The rest of the party shifted focus to deal with the pit fiend and get people out of the building.
Elsewhere, Astraea hand sent the Star-Sent beneath the castle to fight with Noire (??). They worked their way through the crypt dungeon, but found Noire at least temporarily allied with someone calling themself Diablo Erebus and with several undead kings and a calamity dragon inhabited by the spirit of Kashtanav. Noire and Diablo turned on each other, buying the party some time to deal with the dragon. They still lost. Badly. Leon Fallenstar and Argent managed to teleport everyone out, including the lifeless body of Audhild Hearthforge. The group targeted the reception and got there just as focus was shifting to deal with the pit fiend.
Leon revived Audhild and the fight was on as a portion of the reception hall collapsed to reveal an opening to the dungeon with the dragon many feet below. After some frantic back and forth, the pit fiend was defeated. At one point Larkspur dropped and Wigglesme-Tigglesme spoke to them offering to help them out. Larkspur refused and Audhild got them up. After the pit fiend, people prepped for a round or two to fight the calamity dragon. Cribbins, on the other side of the black hole, coordinated the rescue of the king and Ashe, getting them all back to the black hole in time for the split second when it inverted. They were spat back into the fight, with Cribbins swinging Bahamut’s Fang for a fuck ton of damage against the calamity dragon. Therrin followed close behind and got the death blow against it. During the fight, Noire escaped with one of the legendary swords. Leon took an unconscious Audhild and teleported away to Waterdeep to have her looked at by a doctor. Tasha also contacted Larkspur to ask them for a favor. Apparently, there's a hag who runs something of a witch summer camp/school. The weak students she sends home and the strong ones the hag absorbs. Tasha wants Larkspur and whoever they care to bring with them to replace some of the students and infiltrate the school, recruit people for the Crown of Eyes and to kill the hag.
