Like Jesus but with a feminine touch

While Denethor worked on sealing the hole back up, we (well, mostly Elani) talked to the moth man, the Child of Auriga, who thought it would be a great idea for there to be more of its kind. So Elani got to work and spawned about a thousand of them.

We even had time to go on a few tangents, which has been a while. One was which dragon breath would be most useful, another which Marvel or DC superheroes we best represented. Gunda liked being a Thor/Wonder Woman cross.

Aaaand then we went back to Auriga to say hey, we got rid of the Rotting Court, and ... she was different. She was much stronger, but her memories were very different. What did we mean her not being able to separate herself from the World Engine? That wasn't a problem. She also didn't remember a bunch of other stuff, and Yeenogh freaked out when meeting her because there was so many people there who also ... weren't there. It seems Auriga has a bad case of split personalities going on, and one of them is a kid called Hedwig the Winter General.

Apparently the Court of the Sign of Madness is also in the house!

This isn't a good thing.

We built this weapon for rock 'n' roll!

After playing with a plant, growing it to gignatic proportions and hatching one of Auriga's protectors from it, we took Denethor's Floating Wagon to a hole in the ground. A big, big hole in the ground full of necrophages, eww. Down there we found a thoon hulk, some spider type creatures and a throne.

Battle ensued.

We were looking rather out-gunned, then Auriga's moth creature crawled under the throne platform, and it eventually cracked, and there was a big ass Rotten Court general hiding there. Which we, by the skin of our teeth, managed to somehow down.

And then we got pelted by dropping dead necrophages and got the hell out of there.

Mutually beneficial non-extinction

Denethor made himself "Denethor's Floating Wagon" and came to join us. In the underground vault place, Elani (mistakenly called "Elindra" in last week's post, which has now been fixed - but which I realised during this session and pointed out - and then we kept calling her by the wrong name!) made a garden of plants that could feed people and other ones that could sort of concentrate levels of dust. Gunda went a bit Sermon on the Mound about Auriga, who may or may not also want to bless cheesemakers.

Yeenogh and Umberlee had a party, complete with a beer dragon - that's a dragon which has a beer breath. A must-have at all parties!

In the end we gathered us all on Denethor's Floating Wagon, extended to fit six people, and headed south to speak to the dragon people. Elani impressed them by transforming into a silvery dragon, because these dragons don't have metallic colours. They have been working on a teleport spell to get all of the dragon people in their city safely to a suitable planet nearby, however, they're now willing to help us as well.

First past the goal posts IN SPAAAACE

We had to cancel the session last Monday, and the same reason caused me to forget to post this last Sunday, so here we go:

Denethor was hard at work with stabilising the planet's engine and the planet's goddess. Elani and Gunda went exploring on the surface of this new, if a bit collapse-y planet, which seemed to be full of snow - incidentally, it also didn't have Christmas, but we're pretty sure we weren't in Narnia.

There was a big monolith, but we didn't monkey around to Also sprach Zarathustra. Instead, some people were found, words were exchanged, and then we had to run because some undead, human-sized locusts came buzzing and we didn't fancy getting turned into one of those.

Our new-found friends led us to a system of caves, which were sealed from the surface. They had a spaceship, ginormous forges, a river of dust and took us to their leader, Zolya. She had a robot doctor friend, who informed us of what had come to pass since there was a riot on said spaceship and it ended up crashing on the planet a millennia or two ago.

We discovered we could absorb energy from dust, which they said was unheard of, and things got a bit tense. On the other hand, we found out that not only had the Undead Court been around, the Frozen Court had too, and they were still present. But at least Denethor could use some dust to repair the engine. In theory.
