[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8346745, member: 7030144"] Not surprising--the DM used to, at least, read pretty much everything released for D&D. I missed the sourcing on those ideas, because I never read Dungeon. ------ [Session 56 cont'd] "The wings are intelligent. Put them in the hand of any person with basic magical powers, and it can figure out what needs doing. Summoning those things is a pyramiding move." "Are there other stage abominations?" "There are other stages, but they cannot be summoned with the wing. These are the least cut off of its servants. Also the least in power." "Can a group of these summon more powerful ones? I don’t know, it’s never happened." * * * The Council brainstorms questions to be asked of the captured bone abomination, after being told that it can be compelled to answer five questions. When satisfied with their list of questions, the pit fiend proceeds with the interrogation. "Who is it working for?" "I work for the Consortium, we must bring this imprisonment to an end." "What’s the big plan in Magdag?" "The final move in the war will not be in Magdag, it will be deep in the South against the accursed women. Calculations suggest that there is not enough strength—too much had to be expended to restrain Canberry to keep it from the field for long enough. Calculations say that we need to add additional troops; only way to sufficient additional troops is undead, only way to add undead is the wing and us." "What’s the Consortium?" "The Three. All has been consumed except each other and the servants of the three. All others were bound in place and have been consumed. But the Three, though they tried to consume each other for ages, yet they exist. They must return to this universe that it might be consumed, that a thousand other universes must be consumed. The barrier must be destroyed." "When are things going down?" "As soon as the main army is in place, a transference will occur, and the undead will be transported through the agency of the wing. 15,000 improve our chance of victory, and 20,000 nearly guarantee it. It is days now." "How is the Wing protected?" "Sits in the great treasure chamber of the Necropolis of Magdag, guarded and surrounded by the servants of the Cov, both mortal and immortal that have been granted for his service of the cult. He is in so deep that he offered them his wife." The pit fiend destroys the creature, and is released from its service in exchange for the interrogation. Kit passes on the information about the Inquisitor in Magdag to her counterpart with Baroness Cecillia. [End Session 56] [/QUOTE]
