The City of the Dead Part 4

## Episode 17 - The FeyWild West

In Anthonopolis, Seline and Talia face off against the god emperor Anthonius. However, Rhenalle struck the killing blow against the god emperor and after his body crumpled to the ground green energy suffused Rhenalle's body possessing it. This kills Rhenalle as it did Brother Martin. Seeing that Talia shatters the crystal seal that holds back the celestial plane and the gods. After a flash of light, now Talia and Seline Argent-Grey now stand on a floor of solid marble shot through with gold. In the distance, a solid gold gate now stands open. The Undertaker, a wolf (bigger than any other direwolf they've ever seen), and a woman (with pure white hair that frames her round face dark sepia skin and flowing robes as black as midnight) await our adventurers. The Undertaker says you chose well, Seline. They are on the edge of the Eternal (Celestial) plane.

> The barrier you see it has kept us in check for a millennia and does still but the Mortal construction that you destroyed prevented our influence even beyond the Divine gate.
>
> The Mother

The Undertaker and the Mother promised their help as Talia and Seline ride the Wolf back from the Eternal plane to the moment the crystal shattered. They're restored to full hit points, full spell slots, and level 13. As they come back to awareness, they see Rhenalle standing blinking confusingly. Behind Rhenalle, over the body of Brother Martin, is a half-corporeal form. It is very skeletal with green energy flowing in and out of it. Looking down at itself it yells to them…

> **God Emperor Anthonius**What did you do!**Seline Argent-Grey**Changed the world what did you do!

Anthonius takes note seeing his two undead evaporated and the crystal shattered he starts to battle anew to destroy our adventurers. Rhenalle, Seline, and Talia defeat Anthonius with the help of a winged serpent celestial Seline summons from beyond the Divine gate. The form of Anthonius compacts into a tiny green crystal that falls to the ground. They quickly find that Adrienne is left and track her to the library where she's reading a book. Reunited they return to Rhenalle and the green crystal. With some guidance from the Undertaker, Talia destroys the green crystal with Grave’s Silence as a shovel. Adrienne is disappeared again. They decide to keep the book that Adrienne is reading again and look around for any others they might want. They take some very obscure tomes on some very obscure for Ernest, five books documenting various adventurous travels to the feywild for Talden, secret places and paths through the feywild for Seline, 10 different volumes on smithing secrets for Raven and Nikki. Most of the items here are cursed and some of them are curiosities like a mummified giant’s hand. Before they leave Seline casts ashes on the body of Brother Martin and the two angels and collects them. It takes them 2 days to get out of the subterranean part of the city. On the way, out they see buildings bigger than anything they've seen anywhere else. There are temples with statues of Anthonius. They passed through forges. At every station at each forge, are empty chained shackles. Once outside the subterranean city, they quickly return to the mansion.
