Session 96

The party does their final preparations before leaving the Platinum Disc for the Rotspire, where Nox awaits. 
== Summary ==
The plan: transport the party to an out of the way Gatehouse, as the lair, the Rotspire, is warded against teleporting directly in. The gatehouses are how Nox moves his troupes around. They are connected together for teleport, easy transport between them all. 
Prisma approaches Esteem, and offers him a shield that appears to be made of her own scales. Teer passes out. While unconscious, he wakes up and is being poked in the head with a stick by Quraith, the Prophet of Rebirth. He refers to Teer as a "fellow prophet." As a prophet of rebirth for a pheonix, his job is easy. Teer has a dead dragon. He gives Teer his cloak, made of pheonix feathers, to aid him in his upcoming fight. It does "Stuff! All sorts of stuff." Once he returns to consciousness, the party expresses their concern and general acceptance of weirdness, and get aboard a dragon named Kiidrax. 
The dragon flies and then teleports invisibly to the gatehouse. They arrive in an unfamiliar forest, where they land and begin to make their way on foot. They come upon a ridge that overlooks a valley, in which stands a stone and wood structure. They retrieve a sending stone from the dragon in case they need the dragon for backup, and head out. 
Kiono on Esteem's back to scout with her tressym, they head out sneakily. The tressym spots a construction of bones, built from several creatures Human rib cage, bull skull, wings, "fingers" ending in hooves. Held together with wire and string and twine. They stealth around it, noticing more spaced rather regularly throughout the woods. Around the gatehouse, the land has been cleared for about 100 feet around it. Tall rectangle in the center, with smaller side rooms on each of the four faces, a trail leading to the front door. Off to the side is a small shack. There are two cultists outside the front door, one more interested in doing their job than the other. The party approaches, claiming to be a backup regiment from the false lair, just being extra bodies at the Rotspire. The guards accept their story and let them through. Kiono does a good arcana, but the guard is highly suspect about the shift from Ephy to Kiono. After a series of very bad lies, they get on the platform and are teleported.
