Session 87

synopsis
== Summary ==
The party defeats Caius' giant crow form, collapsing for a moment before lurching forward to do a final blow against Teer. A pillar of flame erupts around it before it can reach him, burning away the monster crow. When it dies down, a tiny baby crow is left in a golden cage. Big ol' king Xelbari. 
Yeeted through the skybox. Floating on a cloud through nothingness. There are paths and weird trees. The paths branch out to more familiar-looking places with figures working, surrounded by stick-figure creatures acting out the dreams. Sors pops back into existence. In the distance, Belle spots a great tree surrounded by a small mountain range with flashes of green lightning. After explaining the dreamscape to Sors and Belle, the party takes wing and flies toward the tree and lightning. They pass a whole bunch of dreamscapes. 500feet away near the tree we spot Nox and Zamai locked in combat. There are many Nox followers surrounding Zamai's grove, locked in combat with presumably followers of Zamai. 
Zamai - Iridescent blue and green with feathery bits, her underbelly a muted yellow, and very bird-like though definitively draconic. 
Nox - an amalgamation of several different dragon skeletons. 
The party approaches, hiding in hopes of finding some way to make a real difference in the battle. Zamai and her followers are swiftly killed, and Zamai's soul is absorbed into the orb Hedemora holds. They all depart, leaving a bunch of bodies and the party behind. Sors collects some fragments of the dream tree as it dies, Teer writes a letter to Bahamut to update him to the situation, and Ephemera sets about laying the bodies to rest. After a short rest, Zamai begins to move, controlled by Nox. The party voices annoyance about this, and Nox notices them. They immediately begin to flee, Nox-controlled Zamai in pursuit. Sors casts Sending to Xelbari, updating him on what's going on. After a moment, he and Belxari both appear, preventing Nox from reaching members of the party. She leaves, and Belxari plane shifts the party to the Burnett estate. Belle and Ephemera — who opts to hug Xelbari — attempt to convince Xelbari to go to therapy, or at least talk to plants, who can be very good listeners.
