Sessions
| Session | Saga | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Session 70 | 9th Saga - Dangerous Deities | After signing Marcel's contract, the party discovered the vampire lord had drained his entire clan, and Viktor lost a leg after provoking him. A chaotic body-swap ensued when Halfbie found a shadow sword that allowed Marcel to possess them, forcing the party to fight to restore Halfbie's body before escaping. |
| Session 69 | 9th Saga - Dangerous Deities | The party escaped the vampire horde into hidden tunnels beneath the church, led by a group of deformed vampires called The Hand, The Ears, The Eyes, The Mouth, and The Manner, who took them to meet Marcel. After Korrigan cursed Drache into entering Marcel's chamber, the awakened Vampire Lord forced the party to sign a magical contract binding them to kill Vaelrith. |
| Session 68 | 9th Saga - Dangerous Deities | After Chenris's ascension, Viktor revealed his own transformation into a living tower-crystal, while Halfbie woke up confused and searching for Gil-Galad. The party was besieged by the Crimson Vanguard vampire horde in the Deadlands, until Halfbie Geased their queen into attacking her own tribe, allowing the party to escape into a hidden corridor beneath the church. |
| Session 67 | 9th Saga - Dangerous Deities | Chenris, secretly in control of Halfbie's body, hijacked the party's teleportation to the Deadlands, where he absorbed a tower-crystal's power and ascended to godhood, killing Aeloria with Chronovorus's help. After the battle, Chenris resurrected Halfbie and Viktor, with Halfbie waking up frantically searching for thing called Gil-Galad. |
| Session 66 | 8th Saga - Gutenous Guardians | The party barely defeated the Aspect of Ebis Daro in a brutal battle, only to face the devastating arrival of Ebis himself, who converted the fallen soldiers into Ash Spawn and forcibly transformed Viktor's cloak's psychopomp into a corrupted minion. Ebis spared Viktor as a messenger, leaving the party to grapple with the horrific aftermath and the impossible question of how to defeat him. |
| Session 65 | 8th Saga - Gutenous Guardians | The party grappled with the aftermath of Myst and the unnamed New Gods' death, with Halfbie struggling under Chenris's control while Mordecai and Halfbie spoke through song and puppet theater. As Viktor bargained with Chenris for information about Haldir's plans, Ebis Daro detected the scrying attempt and launched an assault on Blackwall with an Ash Spawn army and the terrifying aspect. |
| Session 64 | 8th Saga - Gutenous Guardians | Halfbie loses their memories and briefly abandons the party, eventually rediscovering the truth through a surreal psychic encounter, while Mordecai uncovers Denola’s killer within Greg’s Bakery. As chaos erupts with a destroyed tower and a dying New God, the party is forced into a brutal decision, sacrificing a child to save countless lives. |
| Session 63 | 8th Saga - Gutenous Guardians | The party took Cas on a field trip to a prophetic bakery and a pub, where they joined the Merchants' Guild, before returning home to find Halfbie's room covered in more magical equations. A tense interrogation of Chenris under truth spells revealed little about his plans, then Halfbie woke up with total amnesia, and the party discovered Denola's dead body in the town square. |
| Session 62 | 8th Saga - Gutenous Guardians | The party returned to Blackwall with a million gold and a new commander, Kase, only to discover the three "New God" children now living in the tower. As Halfbie sleepwalked into covering their room with indecipherable magical theorems, Drache made a fey pact in his dreams, and Mordecai bonded with Cas, accepting her for who she is rather than trying to "fix" her. |
| Session 61 | 7th Saga - Winter Warriors | The party defeats Auric, outplays Astra for a huge reward, and Mordecai confronts their past in a fiery turning point that sets up future conflicts. |
Information Revealed Out of Sessions
| § | Information |
|---|---|
| Session 68 | James Absolom revealed that the Vampire in the red dress was called Selene. He also explained that her ability is to be able to analysis all the magic she sees and counter it. |
| Session 46 | James Absolom later revealed out of session how the Antimagic Field worked. Essentially Malachi Darkthorne † had reengineered The Tower to force all magic in the affect area to go through it rather than just straight from The Realm of Mana to the material plane. He could then hook into the tower and control which spell happened and what didn't. this is also how he was able to hear Mordecai speak while they were turned into gold as he could understand all magical communication happening within the tower's reach. |
| Session 27 | James Absolom later revealed that the harengon is now dead and dragons in the image are The Black Dragon and Niaross † - not The Gold Dragon like what was originally suspected. |
| Session 26 | James Absolom revealed before the session that we had seen the Xekai symbol recently |
| Session 26 | The airship at the start was from the OFC holding OFC ship from The Desert |
| Genevieve † | James Absolom revealed that Genevieve †'s long lifespan was a result of a crystal mentioned to be in her office. He was trying to direct The Party to investigate further but they became fixated on the find her her lover instead. Before he could get them back on track they became incredibly drunk and awoke in Lost Haven. |
| Ashira Yelris † | James Absolom revealed that Ashira died because she gave up the emerald swan amulet when her daughter was born. The amulet was keeping her alive. |

As always, you should talk to James Absolom if you have any ideas or thoughts relating to the campaign. NEVER keep secrets from the DM. This is a collaborative storytelling game, and it only works well if the storyteller knows what's happening. They might even be able to make it happen better than you expected.
† denotes that this character is dead.
‡ denotes that the circumstances around this character's death are strange or unusual.
We have made a point of never officially putting daggers on people unless we are outright told by James or in an official text.
