CR Arcadum S2E27: Beyond the Veil part 3

===Episode 27: Beyond the veil part 3===
====DM: Planned approach====
Gathering up to face the enraged fire spirits all participants in the mission group into different categories directed by Raleigh who has flight magic and can get an overhead view. 
*The damage dealers, Rikky and his WOTO guards, Manyu, Tynan, Reeza, Wit, Ryzy and Horizon.
*The tanks, Pebbles, Shale, Speedracer, War-Togg and Torok.
*The supporters, Flint, Ahi, Sheila, Ront and Jeremy.
Some who have magical fire protection gain an advantage but otherwise falling into lava will most likely mean a death sentence.
Pebbles, Ahi and Raleigh who have fire affinity magic gain access to more mana.
Mars having access to their new cryo bullets equip their weaponry with more suitable ammunition. 
The large excavator machine from the abandoned digsite on the otherside of Bramble Canyon has completed its task. Initiated days ago is has cleared a path leading to the volcano. Passing through walls of obsidian and sand the group finds an injured man. Sheila approaches and asks what happened and he said he "kept it safe". Asked if they can help him somehow he rejects their offer, saying he has fulfilled his purpose. Having followed "father wind" he seems to be Reeza's old mentor. Horizon asks him what they can do with the crystal he carries. He tells him it would all be wasted on him and urges them to leave him to his fate.
====DM: Rain of fire====
Approaching a lift, the old Mars tech still has some functionality with old corporate codes but they are not here, possibly left at the bottom. Taking the long way around instead the gathering go down a steep ramp. At the bottom of the ramp from the other side of a natural bridge-like rock formation, a crystal starts to summon enraged elementals. As the fire spirits appear they sweep in on Torok, Pebbles and Shale. Gunfire and fighting breaks out. Ahi takes flight, resting on a cliff face. Sensing a warm wind, she shouts out for everyone on the bridge to take cover. A large flaming rock crashed onto the bridge, knocking Shale off with Pebbles diving after to grab him. The attempt fails and both fall to the ledge into the lava below. Thanks to their fire affinity and pebbles being a magma golem herself, she is immune, but have to find a detour to get back to the group. Back up on the bridge rocks continue to fall and the brave travelers have to dodge and dive out of the way not to get hit. 
Continuing downward through the caves towards another natural bridge, while dodging falling rocks they find rare and valuable metals, if they could be mined. Lining the sides are some mana crystals capable of restoring magical powers. Torok the giant tortoise is struck and takes a burn wound. Moving slowly Raleigh enacts a magical barrier around him, protecting him from taking more hits. Her shield eventually falters, and Torok takes another hit. His friend War-Togg runs up to him, helping him back to his feet. Dodging falling balls of fire they eventually make it to the bottom of a lift. Raliegh, her mana spent from protecting her allies falls from the air onto the ground exhausted. The lift has the codes enabling a shortcut to return back to the vehicles.
Torok with his huge slow body shambles on wounded. A ball of fire falls next to him and Ryzy and he reacts by covering her, taking the brunt of the hit himself. Too injured to keep going a kind WOTO guard helps Torok enter the lift and moves they take a shortcut back to the trucks at the surface.
The short respite ends, Manyu looks out at the flowing magma falls, the fire spirits are angry. Walking along rusty suspended iron walkways with lava bubbling below a bridge up ahead is out, submerged. Taking another way around a strange sensation of quiet and those who can sense spirits know that they are not alone. Something seething by the perversion of nature that is Savior City. A cavern filled with crystals almost like a bizarre forest, not peaceful but corrupted stretches out before them. Raleigh reaches out sensing the surroundings. Any attempt to cleanse the corruption would require 1000 times her magical abilities. Flint detecting magic, sees spirit magic everywhere but unable to get any good reading on it. Whispering voices tell the spirit walkers that "the crystals will lead the way".
====DM: Crystal prisons====
Raleigh flying above a crystal hears a whisper and is suddenly hit with magical force, as she is absorbed into a crystal. The others who can sense magic notice that something is wrong. Raleigh who usually gives off an immense presence of magic, no longer does. The group starts looking around for her but failed to notice Jeremy, who also get sucked into a crystal. Tynan attempts to commune, putting his hand to the glass and realize that they're taking their friends. Finding Jeremy's muffled shouts for help the spirit walkers Reeza, Sheila, Ahi and Tynan all work together to try and free him. They fail several times, having to sacrifice their suffering and take wounds in order to free their ally. 
Rikky and Manyu both feel a painful freeling, sensing that something forbidden is close. Raleigh calling out from within successfully sends a telepathical message of her location and the spirit talkers get to work at freeing her.
Manyuu sees something through someone elses eyes eyes, a bright light hits him and he sees 6 beings of some kind. Sheila is grabbed by an invisible force and hoistered into the air, falling back down and looking at Rikky they share a connection of some sort. All freed, they continue.
Wit suddenly walking away by himself, is intersected by Sheila who seeing him acting weird, tells him to stop. Annoyed and angry he pulls a gun her, protesting that he's hearing the voices of his "real friends", those who let him out of the prison. Repeating the worlds of the voices in his head Wit tells her that she is not his friend. Carefully and then forcefully, Sheila calms him down and embraces him while telling him that he will never be imprisoned again, she wont let anyone ever do that to him again. Wit, regaining his "wits", still on edge rejoins the others.
====DM: Father fire====
Entering the final chasm of the firelord the group is attacked by more enraged fire spirits. Crystal seals need to be channeled by those with magical affinity in order to break the wards. Using protective magic to shield against falling fireballs Ahi manage to keep up the channeling long enough to unlock the way to the firelords chamber. Entering in a huge pool of lava is a fire elemental several storeys tall. Attempting to pleade with it Sheila and Ahi are ignored as the giant thing shouts "DEATH!" and starts hurling fireballs at them. Pebbles picking up and throwing a fireball at the enormous thing gets it deflected, easily throwing it back at her it begins bashing her, shouting; "I AM FIRE, I AM DEATH!". Reeza and Tynan move behind seeking out the large crystals surrounding the chamber, breaking ward after ward, in response they are hit severely. Taking cryo bullets and Manyu's close up hits the elemental staggers, the attackers are actually hurting it. In response the lava level in the chamber increases taking Shale, Pebbles and Horizon with it. One crystal remaining, father fire stands before it and shouts at them to come forward and face him. Pebbles immunity to the fire is traded with a barrage knocking her to the ground. Sheila summons a stormcloud with rain, it aggravates the fire greatly and in a steam cloud it chases after her, leaving the final crystal seal unguarded. The final ward broken, father fire cracks and dissapates with his core exposed.
Now with the tables turned, Rikky attempts to reason with the giant spirit once more. Telling of its killed elemental brethren, the water spirit, the storm brother and the threat towards the planet. Defeated and mumbling "Fire burns, water falls, air blows, earth endures... do not, locusts they feed on my people... they take from the earth." With its final words father fire dissapates; "You speak of what you do not control, my people fade from this world, and now you are responsible... for what happens next...". Leaving behind only a pile of sacred ashes. Someone must decide to carry them.
Ahi in tears over the elementals being gone, is chosen as the new wielder of the ashes. The flames of the earth now beckon to the call of a spirit walker and just in time, far above, the skies split open as the enemies arrive. With these powers, the planets own spirits will not attack the defenders any more. Doing a headcount, a WOTO guard and Horizon has perished throughout the ordeal.Callous Row Season 2 Ep 27: Beyond the Veil Pt. 3
