Session x 103 Farewell Sweet Mugbug

It has been a VERY long day. The morning, which now feels very far away, began with finalizing your plans with your newly acquired allies The Stone Guard and several other factions that had converged either at the Citadel of Light or Arbalists House. Most of your day was then spent riding across The Golden Expanse towards the Golden Spires where you, through coin and the barter of magic items, secured some aid from the Church of Waukeen, allowing your allies to use the small city-state as a staging ground.

With the sun setting you teleported into Balistar’s Citadel on the boarder of the plane of air and material plane and from there made your way through the sewers to The Alabaster Lyceum where you had your first of three deadly battles of the night and encountered the first of two traps set for you by the devils. The second battle was fought against The Coopers and their horrific dueregar creation in Gracklestugh, after Bucket Girl pieced together that the tower in Athkatmon that had been your target was actually a decoy. A decoy the devils used to lure you and your allies into playing your hand with every intention of then crushing you by bringing in reinforcements from The Nine Hells. And there plan would have worked too, however it was temporarily halted by Balistar, who through his magics held off the teleportation giving you a window to potentially fully stop their efforts. The Lucky Seven, two members of Force Grey, and Mugbug the goblin teleported to the underground dueregar city with the intent of putting a stop to what was happening at the “real” tower.

That’s where the final battle took place, shortly after the fight with the Coopers. While there were deaths in the previous two fights, the ones on your side were thankfully only temporary thanks to Muffy and Rhys. However that was not the case here. One of your allies did not walk away from this final, and most grueling battle. Mugbug the Goblin, member of The Menagire aka The Resistance and Dorn’s mentor and closest thing he’s known to a father is dead. Sadly, Dorn's mind was shattered by a powerful devil in this final battle and it is likely the he has no conception that Mugbug was a casualty in the war against The Forces of The Nine Hells. But you did do exactly what you set out to do. The energy field transforming not just the landscape and citizens of Athkatmon, but this time all of Amn has been shut down thanks to an incredible group effort by all of you. Bucket Girl took control of the temporal-spatial technology employed by the devils, and not only was able to clear the remaining devilsh forces out of the tower, but with the last energies being drawn into the tower from the two planar rifts, respectively of fire and water, transport The Lucky Seven and this entire tower, in theory, to the Plane of Faire. The question is did it work? After long since searching for a way, have you finally made it to the Feywild? And then there’s the other major looming question: Was Balistar able to hold out long enough? Did you indeed stop the fleet of devil ships from crossing over to the material plane? And finally, what has happened to Dorn? And is there anything that can be done to restore his mind?
