Ragnorra Session 69

Start: Midnight, Friday, Eleasis 13, 1396

Nice!

Exploring the room and questioning Ui Falaz, the party determined the remaining tank held Vix's mother. Vix spoke with her telepathically, and uncovered the following.

Her name is Naveria.
She was held in a time dilated demiplane and is effectively thousands of years old.
The location of this demiplane was not probed, although it is owned by the cult.
"Their forces are concentrated at Myth Drannor and the Guideposts. If tackled quickly, the cult will be without guidance for some time and scattered. Perhaps they could be dispersed. If the guardians of the guideposts are dispatched, Ragnorra may be prematurely drawn closer, in a weakened state, or misdirected altogether."

Naveria named Vix her heir to the legacy of her brood. Vix seemed to accept this dubious honor, because she agreed to the sacrament Naveria proposed. Naveria asked Vix to drink her fluids, so she may live on inside her. They said their goodbyes and Vix performed the act.

Suffused with her mother's ichor, Vix did not appear to change in aspect physically much, although her aura took on a pronounced malevolence.

Vix collected the powder from her molting for later use, and Cassius dispelled the vats in this room, as he did in the room below. Both were emptied. Ui Falaz revealed many of the cult forces were dispersed to Myth Drannor.

Taking some time to study the portal, Ronja realize the passcode in a language she did not know. Recalling the passage from an old tome, she recited the line: All hail the twilight of the worlds, the mother of boundless life, the womb unending, Ragnorra.

The portal activated.

Vix prepared to flood the base at Myth Drannor from the inside as she had done to the well of dragons. Ivy prepared to cause a localized earthquake in the portal room to both damage the room and allow the water to seep out of it.

Before leaving, they scouted into the next room. Imprisoned there were four extraplanar dragons from Limbo, known as Jabberwocky. They were trapped behind force cages. They spotted stairs leading up.

Vix's spell has these effects: 96 neg, 2 str, 2 neg level, shaken. 200 ft. per round of water for 23 hours. (1,656,000 sq. ft. of water total)

The plan worked perfectly, and they closed the portal.

Peering into the next chamber with Mary, they spotted Vane's war machine. It appeared to contain many, but not all of the skeletal dragon remains. It appeared to have no easy way of escape, and took up a great deal of the room.

There are four wards on the first floor of the fortress on the Guideposts. Ivy, using mind probe, explored Ui's mind. She saw a four-floored structure, similar to the first shrine. The first floor has a fountain, and four wards made of enchanted starmetal. They are like four runestones.

There is a connecting portal in myth drannor to the fortress on the Guideposts.
A box on the third floor is trice-trapped. The first trap does damage. The second attempts to slay whomever opens the box. The third attempts to Unname whomever opens it. These traps reset once the box is closed. The box closes if whomever attempts to open it does not survive the traps.
Force - necro - unname

Ui revealed he knew the 'ORB' is a 'core of the sharnwall'

They slew Ui and Cassius revived him. He seemed to make good on his statement, and seems willing to assist, although is no longer dominated or infected.

Demiplane is ready. 10:1 time elapse on the demiplane.
40 hours in the demiplane during this session, or 7170 overall.
