Session 30

Heroes: Meghera, Zark, Vaako, Sai

With Zark and Sai in a cell, and Vaako out of reach, Meghera explores some of the rooms of the Temple, hoping to to find her companions, or a way to escape. When she chances upon more treasure, she once again attracts the attention of the titan, and she's captured.

After punishing her for her insolence by breaking most of her bones with his power to control weight and gravity, Crius decides to have Meghera trained as a priestess. She's brought away by high-priest Antiphonus for cleaning up and indoctrination.

Back in the white cell, Zark has found a way to escape. After finding the almost invisible door with hs keen ability of investigation, he uses magic to "animate" the door, which swings open, allowing him and Sai to escape with Zeracuk. They then contact Vaako with magic and regroup. Together they search the Temple for Meghera, and rescue her from the acolytes that were holding her.

Thanks to Zeracuk, they find a portal to Sigil inside the Temple; but Meghera and Zark lust for more treasure. After the others have safely left through the portal, they return to the treasure room. They take as much treasure as they can in a few seconds, and then bolt for the portal.

Crius finds them as they're still running for it, and send bolts of thunder and lighting in their direction. With a smart use of dimension door and haste spells, and Meghera's ability to fly, the two enter the portal before they're burned to a crisp by the Titan's bolts. The portal, too small for the Titan to enter, closes behind them.

Back in Sigil, the Heroes say their goodbyes to Zeracuck, and Meghera delivers him to her factol, receiving his accolades.

In order to return a previous favour, the Bleaker's factol sends Sai to the Xaositects to help them out. Factol Karan of the Xaositects wants the Heroes to "guide" the modron march through Limbo as fast as possible. He does not want their "lawfulness" to infect the perfect chaos of Limbo for too long.

To help them in their quest, he trains them to shape the raw chaos of Limbo, in order to create a bubble of stable ground for the modron armies to march on.

Red Slaad
When ready, the Heroes are sent to Limbo through Yggdrasil, the world Tree, where they meet with the March and with other groups of githzerai from Limbo that will also guide the modron.

Zark seems to have a real talent in shaping chaos, and manages to create enough stable ground for a few hundred modron. While on the march, a legion of red slaadi attacks, bent on destroying the lwaful creatures. The Heroes protect those modrons in their charge, and destroy the slaadi.
