**Extinction Reborn** was a 2 session mini arc that took place during Season 3 of the campaign. It covered sessions 22-23 of said season, and focused on the Heralds of Retha venturing into a time rift and exploration of the Unstable Timeline. Along the way they encountered complications in the form of Oblivion (UT).

This arc had been anticipated for since early Season 3 when the time rift first appeared. This group of sessions also served as a finale for the third season of the campaign. The arc was dubbed 'Extinction Reborn' only after the arc had already ended.

## History

### Pre-Arc

A time rift was opened and introduced after Indunar first wore the Chaos Core and caused natural disasters around Senothia. The players had to wait several sessions until the rift opened up, giving them time for other adventures such as meeting the Kin of Law and the Boarfin Fleet mini arc.

After Indunar was trapped under the Abyss, the players knew they had to blindly go through the time rift in hopes of finding a way to defeat Indunar once and for all. The Heralds of Retha waited until they resolved their pending responsibilities but then ventured into the time rift to begin this arc.

### Session 22

In the first half of this arc the Heralds of Retha receive communication devices and disguises from Finik Emot shortly before venturing into the time rift. Now in the alternate timeline, the team make their way to what appears to be a destroyed Avallon. A hidden group of civilians tells them that there is a monster on the loose. The team go to speak to the alternate Kin of Law, and learn from them that this monster is Oblivion (UT) who managed to defeat the alternate heralds in his unstable form, and has now evolved into his sixth form. Oblivion also killed the alternate Indunar and the kins of time and dimensions. The Kin of Spirits upgrades the Lord's Bottle into a Master Flask and the team is given the mission to destroy Oblivion.

It turns out that Rednith followed the Heralds into this 'Unstable Timeline' to try and make things right with them. The group heads to Abulon and confront this new Oblivion. They fight, nearly trap him in the Master Flask, but the behemoth just breaks out in an even more powerful state. The heroes work out a deal, and are given some time to prepare. However, Oblivion found their time rift and made his way to the regular timeline.

### Session 23

The Heralds prepare for their upcoming fight, then go confront Oblivion (UT) once more. They find him in Criadin devouring and absorbing civilians. A battle begins. The fusion between Pappen and Rednith, Reden, is used to fight the beast. After Oblivion uses his time charm to heal, the team are forced to use a torch given to them by the alternate Kin of Law. This torch releases incredible amounts of power that massively weaken Oblivion. As a result, Oblivion uses his dimensions charm to open a portal to the Abyss in an attempt to hit the heroes with the pressurized water. He misses, and inadvertently releases Indunar from the depths of the ocean.

A battle commences between Oblivion and Indunar, who blow up mountains in the intensity of their fight. Weakened by his time in the abyss, Indunar begins to lose. At this point Rednith un-fuses and decides to trap Oblivion in the Master Flask along with himself so that Oblivion continues to indefinitely fight him within the bottle. They are both sucked into the flask. Indunar remains on the brink of death, and is sparred by the Heralds who hope he will reform in the future. The Chaos Core was cracked during battle. Once they return to the Kin of Law, the deities give the team special armors and the title of Demigod as a reward.

### Post-Arc

The time rift remained where it was, available for return at any time. The team made plans to release Oblivion and properly defeat him when they become stronger. Due to the damage sustained by the Chaos Core, the team suspected that a Voidal Knight may have escaped onto Senothia.

This mini arc concludes Season 3 and furthers along the Indunar storyline while setting the stage for the Voidal Knights to enter in the next season.
