Sigil has shattered in the Milling
No one could foresee what happened next…
Episode VIII
THE ASHEN KING
Having defeated the COMPANIONS OF KALIL and rescued FALLING OUT OF BED, the party now faces a choice of how to proceed. Will they help the residents of WAYSIGN extinguish the HEARTFIRE BLIGHT by crushing the cult of the ASHEN KING?
The twilight woods of BRUX are alive, and many players have set in motions events with far reaching consequences. Travelers from afar bring tidings, and their missions to this remote corner of the multiverse.
Meanwhile, groups throughout the multiverse are left reeling by the effects of the ESCHATON, even as some see an opportunity to force their vision of how things should be across all of existence...
Falling out of Bed reveals that he has had dreams of Alyxian.
“A vision came to me last night. A golden amulet rose to the surface of a pool of blood, and countless hands lunged upward out of the blood to grasp it. In turn, all the hands fell back into the pool until only one remained. The one whose hand claimed the amulet was a handsome man with curly hair and a somber expression. He turned to me and said, ‘They must find me. The ones from the glade.’ Tell me, did anything happen to you in that place that would help me understand this vision?”
Now I too am chained as you are… these manacles were forged in the Pit of Aroden and its one of the few places I can think of where tools could be found to remove them. Please retrieve the tools so I can be free as well.
Furthermore and most pressing, is that The Ashen King has taken Falling out of Bed’s key to the Imaginatory under the Bookhold Chapel and is performing a ritual that could threaten all of existence.
The party shakes down their captives, the Companions of Kalil and discovers a recruitment page for the Xoasitects.
They meet Eogan who has taken care of the undertaker above and accompanies the party to the Bookhold Chapel to defeat the Ashen King.
Beneath the Chapel in the Imaginatory, the party faces off with Captain Kalil Vancouver who is working the Second Eschaton. Defeating the mind-bending horrors of the Imaginatory, the party recovers the Planar Plan.
