[QUOTE="emeraldbeacon, post: 9042708, member: 7032019"] (recap covers two sessions) After collecting the Book of Eight Lands, the team rush towards the banquet hall, desperate to stop any further plans or contingencies established by the Ragesians. But where castle security was lax elsewhere, here, a full squad of soldiers and priests stand in defense of the land's entire collection of nobility. Initial requests for access are dismissed outright, and continued pressure only causes one guard to follow up on their claims. Tired of waiting, the team strikes, planning on pressing through the troops to confront Steppengard himself. The fight stalls, as waves of soldiers move in to block their path, until one team member finally produces the Book of Eight Lands, and explains the fear of a poison plot against the nobility. Shaken, the guards cannot dismiss such a claim, outlandish as it may be, and the heroes are escorted in to present their evidence. Upon hearing it, King Steppengard is aghast, but filled with rage. Claiming that his own heart had been poisoned with the loss of his family, he swears to end the entire kingdom himself, and attacks! Startled, the guards are unsure whether to defend the lords, or their king... but the matter is quickly cast aside, as the king's advisor, Nina Glibglammer, cackles with glee, then begins to change into a terrifying snake creature! The hall descends into chaos as Madness sows confusion and terror with her spells and poison, but in the end, the Trillith is vanquished, and a subdued Steppengard seems to rise from his stupor. Horrified at his actions, he promptly abdicates his throne, leaving the remaining lords to decide what course of action to take next. In time, the role of King Regent is granted to Lord Iz, to manage the nation during the Ragesian crisis, until a more formal line of succession can be established. The heroes are granted land holdings in Dassen for their courage and service, and are treated to a few days of peace and calm... [B]SESSION NOTES: [/B]The chaos gremlins continue to keep their cards close to their chest, trying to bluff and bargain their way past the guards, when simply showing the book of eight lands and pleading their case would be far more effective. They softened themselves up against the guards, making the fight against Madness bit more frightening, but having stopped the poison plot, they were never in much danger. Since they didn't have the song of forms on their side, no boons from Madness were granted. [/QUOTE]
