This is just a brief overview:

All joined hands to Plane Shift during the once-a-decade event in the temple that brought them to Sylrena. Seylendria held Keichi Jr.- at his request, she had opted to leave her world and people for love. But as the spell completed, it was obvious to all that neither could be brought back to Caligo.

Upon arrival back in the Proditial region, the group immediately sprung to life, their multi-year pause finished. They checked the rest of the sleeping and training areas, finding much the same, though it was all clouded by the between-years. Pressing forward, they found a room with statues of paladins, and a finely detailed miniature city under a dome. The city had unique architecture, but was visibly swarming with dark angels. Touching the dome transported whomever touched it into a clearing, where an inscription dedicated to the Arcanex at the dawn of Caligo could be found. Many methods worked to exit the city, but the first discovered was any sort of teleportation magic.

The unexplored room was, as the inscription promised, a mausoleum of sorts. However, the spirits of three powerful mages had been transported from the prison of the Nameless one, and Arglamal (the former archangel of Fedahar and fallen solar) had given them magical vessels to live in- their task was to create a force capable of destroying the grouped up non-corrupted angels. This they had done- the unholy minions that they had animated would burn away their life essence outside of their birth-room, in exchange for spreading fire, frost, and raw unholy power around. But the minions were mindless, as powerful as their curse of multiples was, and they could be defeated easily inside the mausoleum- and so they were.

The next day, Morgrim cast Stone to Flesh on a paladin, who explained that their army was waiting a final great battle- these were the champions of Fedahar over the years, and as such they would wait. Immune to the taint of the dark angels, the forces of good attacked from both directions, and the dark angels were quickly routed by such numbers.


Rigby also found a small blue cold sphere, that quickly pushed its way inside him when he touched it. He later learned he can shoot small blue beams, that can sometimes freeze opponents (well, in theory- he's killed two friends this way though, it PROBABLY works on enemies too). The power is very easy to resist, however.



Ash discovered he could steer the Proditial region, and chose to leave it in the unbound, where the wonderfully named Melonbahl, now the highest ranking surviving angel of Fedahar, remains. Before this, however, the entire team exited, found a strike force of Voriphans (one of them who hid in thin air) waiting for them. They teleported directly to Emerald, where they made enough noise to have a message sent to Octessa, who joined them, aborting her brief time with an old ex-adventuring partner.

The party had some fun with the green door- they learned of a thread to good dragons (accidentally averted in the past), and also received some dubious items from a Remlock in his own distant past- bearing a tail, an awkward gait, a shaky deal, and an excitement to build a hell out of the souls he was getting in exchange. Once they finally made contact with their normal merchant, they chose some upgrades for the totem- it can now be planted as a swift action, and has a broader range.

Once back in Emerald, Octessa showed the PCs something odd. A magical record was kept- a kind of wound up sensor, as it were- of any extraplanar events. These could be located in time and even, roughly, in space, though the detail was weak. She showed that when set to view Necromantic Extraplanar events (which should rarely happen), there were the hints of them. Eventually, after interviewing their favorite Remlock, they ask her to see if any match the "Philosophy of Zheng", viewed as the "power source" of the Seryantics. Octessa's Lesser Display Data wasn't up to this task, but Display Data was, and the five events immediately stuck out as being very small, but very powerful breaches. One was from about twenty years ago, and was located in eastern Arcata. The PCs hypothesize that this event matches to Vix Thur's transition from powerful friend of the light world, to tyranny and plots. A second was from about fifty years ago, and is in the south of Voriph. A third is from about ten years previous, and is generally north of the Ebon Citadel, in Umbra. The fourth and fifth match up exactly with the Proditial Region of Air, where the PCs encountered what appeared to be projections of darkness wearing fine clothing. But a sixth is in the process of happening- on the Hexstone mountains, near the center of Voriph.

Generally viewed as inhospitable, and quite hot this time of year, the PCs plan to make their way out there, and stop whatever plan is occurring there.


Edit: Rewrote a bit of the part about the Seryantic incursions to not just mention the five, but to make it clear that two were accounted for, one is almost assuredly Vix-Thur, and the other two have locations but no details- and that the newest one was not in that total of five.
