Monana

This session began with a small step back in time. Monana has been the guest of House Asphodel in the city of Millendia. Thri-kreen attacks are becoming more and more common across her nation. Coerin Osander,general of House Dol's army has been overseeing the hunt for the Thri-kreen, relying heavily on his most trusted captain, Captain Hale to do the actual hunting.

As the session began, Monana received word that another Thri-kreen attack had happened and several drow wearing the symbol of the webweakers were seen leading the attack. Monana went to the head of House Asphodel and found Coerin and an ambassador of Luracia there as well. As they spoke Monana received the sending from Edric and informed the emissary of the threat Edric was facing. The Emissary teleported Monana to Luracia where a relief taskforce was put together to assist Edric.

Meanwhile, Immediately after the battle for the citadel the party reconvened. They all quickly agreed that their top priority should be to protect the citadel first and foremost, but no one had any inkling of how to actually practically go about doing that. Sabrielle suggested the citadle should be buried to keep it safe until Luracian reinforcements arrived. Pravicar Domaiar Nilvenshun suggested the group enter the citadel and take control of it, convert it into a weapon and use it to defend it.

Edric shot both these ideas down immediately. The party asked him for a better solution and he had none.

At this point Luracia contacted Edric and asked if the citadel he encountered was one of Edath's citadels. He said it didn't matter and told them to send help faster.

A teleporting party was put together to teleport to Edric to help him. Monana and her new bodyguard, Alcoerin Osander, joined this teleporting party. They attempted to teleport to Edric but without good coordinates, they ended up very far off target, down in Ornatir. While in Ornatir Moanan sent Alcoerin to give a message to Master Matoya (What was the message again?)

They teleported back and with a fresh wizard capable of teleporting, attempted again. This time was worse. The teleportation spell rebounded, damaging everyone in the attempt and teleporting them to an underground Adamantine Citadel. But this was the wrong one. This one was floating in a massive cavern filled with underdark flora. The group immediately attempted tot teleport back, but they were hit by a canon from the citadel that knocked Monana out.

But they got back to Luracia with the teleport and this time, the new wizard to teleport them took them to The Scrapyard. Moana and the relief force came traveled from the Scrapyard all the way to the underground citadel.

The party rested and still, no one actually had a plan. Lykus suggested hunting down the Hag Coven before they could re-summon the Altroloth, and Tamel informed the party that the hags were likely performing the resummoning ritual in Aizel, where the dragon could protect them.

Eero was informed by Lezra that if he was touching the citadel his power could be amplified to where he could teleport. With the help of Sabrielle and Edric, they found a way to pull 8 others along with Eero. Tamel could also be used to do the same and the decision was made to teleport a party to Aizel to attack the coven.

At this point Monana, Lysander and Oscar arrived, along with the rest of the teleporting relief force. And the rest of the Hellknights.

Ena noticed one of the men who came with the Luracian relief force was wearing a specific set of armor that once belonged to her order.

The flying fortress of Teria'Nora would be arriving within two days, but if the coven saw it coming, they would flee and escape. It was agreed that Oscar would stay behind to help the Hellknights guard the citadel while the rest of the party as well as Will the teleporter and two paladins would go and attack the coven. Tamel told them of a secret entrance to the fortress of Aizel and the party teleported there using Tamel and Eero's mist connection.

However, upon arrival, Ena's body refused to reform form the mist. Eero managed to stabilize her and reform her, but something was lost as mist shot off of her as it happened, and she now beard the Mark of the Outsider.

The party snuck in and using Viari's silencer and Ena's pass without trace ability, they took out all guards out as they moved to the central courtyard where the coven were attempting their summoning ritual.

The party made their sneak attack and the battle was intense. The dragon was kept at bay by Viari's tripping shots. Everyone focused first on Marcia. The hags were using soul chains to sluff off their wounds onto their minions. But with the entire party focusing on Marcia and her Dire Troll, they managed to kill the troll and Marcia was killed. Immediately all the hybrid soldiers in the castle fell as their blood grafts failed. Tamel was also affected and fell unconscious.

Edric used an acid spell to kill Gaia's goblins and Modokus used this opportunity to pounce on the brutish hag and using his eldritch claws he ripped her in half, killing the second member of the coven and deactivating Judith's soul chains. Judith was about to planeshift out, when Lysander counterspelled her, and Eero got the finishing blow, killing the final member of the coven. A portal opened and all the yugoloths on the field were pulled back into Hades without Judith anchoring them there.

While this was happening, Minty Pineapple was having an archery 1v1 with her sister, Ginger Pineapple who was fighting on the Hag's side. Ginger got the upper hand when Minty was downed by a Mezzoloth's cloudkill spell. Ginger fey stepped over to Minty and took a lock of her hair before running.

The dragon finally shrugged off Viari's shots and swooped onto the battlefield. Lora, Lykus and Modokus fought the dragon while everyone else attempted to flee. Lykus used the same psionic sword attack he had used on Nyle Carden in the dream, on the dragon and knocked it prone. He and Modokus managed to hold the dragon's head still while and enlarged Leora got the killing blow.

Minty was healed and managed to catch Ginger, trying to tackler her unsiccessfully before dropping a chandelier on her head, knocking her out. Edric attempted to question Ginger but got annoyed and knocked her out again.

The party harvested the Dragon's body and prepared to teleport back to Luracia.
