Relay

The Acquaintances With Weapons defeat Szass Tam and liberate Thay.

## Major Plot Points

* The party stormed into Emperor Szass Tam's throne room where he was guarded by General Strahd Vonovich and zombie soldiers. Without his phylactery, the former lich now looked skeletal and decrepit.
* Karen summoned a giant scorpion and activated her bear totem to boost her allies. Sudsy eliminated a zombie guard. Szass Tam rained a meteor swarm down on the heroes. Olivia shot her flaming goose at the emperor. Voloth sniped with his eldritch blasts and swung with his maul. Peggy's chain lightning spell took out the rest of the zombies and shocked Strahd and Szass Tam. Bigsby hit the emperor with a finger of death. Fern summoned giant toads that swallowed Szass Tam. Vulveeta's blades ended Strahd's undead life. Neuriel used his magic to heal the group.
* Calypso used the sending stone spy pieces to alert the party that explosions were erupting all over Necropolis. She and the Covenant agents there were doing their best to keep the fires under control.
* Karen destroyed Fern's frogs to get to the emperor. Sudsy landed a critical hit to Szass Tam's face. A freed Szass Tam rained more meteors onto the group. He also sent waves of necrotic energy throughout the room. Olivia rushed the emperor and smited him with her blade. Voloth hit Szass with his maul and eldritch blasts, severing his leg. Peggy fired her magic missiles at him. Bigsby struck him with a moonbeam. Fern encased him in a fire wall.
* Vulveeta ran towards the emperor and stabbed him with her rapiers, landing the killing blow. She fulfilled the prophecy of the Daughter of Death.
* Weeks later, AWW joined Queen Maxima, Rhiannon, Flumphy Cave Princess, Willy Wingman, Bruce Vayne, Madame Eva, and Donner Blitzen to discuss Thay's future. Queen Maxima told the group she only sent AWW to them to help, not conquer. "Your freedom is yours alone to take." After much debate, the group decided Thay's government will be a council of representatives elected by the people.
* During the meeting, Bigsby cast Wish and requested that Vulveeta be reunited with her family. She perished at the table.
* It was discovered that the potion Karen drank that turned her into a plant humanoid turned her into an actual plant.
* Rhiannon, Flumphy Cave Princess, Willy Wingman, Bruce Vayne, and Elfy Highman each won seats on the council.
* Queen Maxima used the glass candle that Voloth gave her to destroy the zombie army raiding Chult's jungle. With the island now safe, she expanded her queen into new territories:
	+ Calypso Bay
	+ Mount Voloth
	+ Vulvhala
	+ Neuriel Town
	+ Bigby's Bluff
	+ Olivia's Vineyards
	+ Peggy's Peaks
	+ Sudsy Slums
	+ Fern Gardens
	+ Karen Canyons
	+ Stzu San City
	+ The Salty Sea
	+ Dickburg
	+ Dani Valley
* You're all level 20!

## Epilogue

* Calypso serves as Chult's ambassador to Thay, splitting her time between each country. She brunches with Vulveeta's ghost once a week.
* Voloth returned to his village only to discover it was gone. The only clue was the word THAY carved into a tree. His mission now is to find out what happened to his people.
* Bigsby tours the realm singing of his adventures with the Acquaintances With Weapons. He's seeking to rewrite history by replacing Vulveeta in the story with his flying boar. This has led to many people confusing Neuriel with the boar. Vulveeta's ghost often haunts Bigsby's shows and messes with the sound. She enjoys making Bigsby smell very badly.
* When Vulveeta's ghost isn't haunting Bigsby and messing with his performances, she spends time with the ghosts of her parents in their family treehouse. She's trying to become the most famous ghost chef.
* Neuriel continues to serve as Queen Maxima's first knight. He planted Karen in the queen's gardens. He's gained a large following due to Bigsby's songs.
* After being planted into the queen's gardens, Karen has become an invasive species of plant. Her spores are now all over Chult and Thay.
* Olivia has started a temple where she trains women to be warriors. The highest rank they can achieve is Vulveeta.
* Lady Peggy renamed herself Cocoa. She lives in the swamp and does swamp witch things now.
* Sudsy reunited with his wife, Grab-Stab. The two opened a store where they sell Vulveeta pens that shout famous quotes and bidets designed to look like Sudsy's face.
* Fern serves as the Minister of the Environment with the Thayan Council. Her main job is to stop Karen's spores from invading other ecosystems and talking to Peggy when she creeps people out as a swamp witch. She's working on a flavored water and juicing business as a side hustle.
