Vic felt Kayzk press his blade deeper into her ribs, she steeled herself for the blade and pulled away from Kayzk taking a slice to the gut, but as she ran towards Ze and Reshi, she conjured an Ice Blade in her hand and flung it at Kayzk. The icy blade collided with kazyk’s chest exploding on contact.It didn’t slow him down much as Kayzk advanced towards them pulling out his glaive readying to attack. Reshi unleashed a burst of ice to drive him back while Ze darted in and out of reach, striking at his exposed flank.Then they head the hoof beats.Indomitability had reached the shore. The massive stag, antlers blazing, reared on its hind legs as it found the dry land. The Seela scattered in panic, their song breaking mid verse and becoming dissonant and disjointed. Indomitability charged at the group of Seela who were cowering next to the singing platform.Seeing the heroes become distracted by worry for the Seela, Kayzk smiled and teleported to behind a Seela on the other side of the beach. He then shouted Fools, you’ll let them die for nothing! driving his glaive down on the unsuspecting Seela.Ze shouted at Vic and Reshi to focus Indomitability and then she ran. She knew she was the fastest. She couldn’t reach Kayzk in time to save the first Seela, but she was able to intercept his next swing. The three fought desperately to draw attention away from the Seela from both threats. Reshi positioned himself to where he could send a barricade of magic missles to hit both Indomitability and Kayzk. Vic focused Indomitability sending spell after spell into the stag’s flank until finally she drew the stag’s attention away from the Seela. Vic took the risk and misty stepped out of the way of the charging Indomitability, taking the burning sky damage over a direct hit from those burning antlers.In the chaotic fray, Kayzk was able to get one good hit on Ze causing her to tactfully retreat. And just as he raised his glaive above a cowering Seela, the lake party emerged from the water. Sorian and Grom lead the charge with their weapons drawn with Papuvin and Torrent not far behind. (Quote of the night: “Angry Baywatch Style”)Seeing them, Kayzk cursed. He told them they were going to be sorry and He was then engulfed by a circle of flames and vanished from the battle field.Indomitability reared and turned her blazing gaze on the newcomers.Without hesitation, Sorian charged calling his ancestors to him as he ran. He raised his Sloth Maul and let out a primal roar of rage that echoed across the water. The stag thundered forward to meet him and the two forces collided Sorian landed a strong blow on Indomitability before being gored by Indomitability’s antlers and thrown backwards. For a moment he didn’t move, but he then pushed himself up, spit the blood out of his mouth and readied his maul again. His rage burned brighter, and the Seela that looked upon him swore they Arielle standing behind him giving him her strength.Ze, Reshi, and Vic offered long range support. Ze loosed a volley of crossbow bolts, trying to find any weak point in Indomitability’s hide. Reshi finally showed the depths of his power amplifying his spells in ways the party had never seen before.During all this, Torrent helps Papuvin to the shore keeping watch for Kayzk. The Seela slowly made their way to Papuvin, seeing that he had the Living Blade.Sorian charged back in alongside Grom. Together they struck with Grom’s axe cutting deep and Sorian’s maul slamming down with ancestral fury. Indomitability roared in their minds Step aside. The pests must be punished for their complicity in my imprisonmentSorian tried to convince Indomitability to let them live, that they had helped free her. This only angered Indomitability You dare lecture me? I am Indomitable: in name and being. My will is diamondAt this Grom decided it was time to use the power that Propriety had given him and he reached within himself to link with her power. As he entered into a powerful rage, ancient draconic runes glowing red and black ignited across his skin. As he raised his axe, power whipping around him he responded, Diamond, huh? Guess we’ll just have to cut you down to size[SPOILER="DM Note Homebrew Class (Barbarian) "]This is a Homebrewed “Path of the Trillith”, based heavily on 3.5’s whirlwind barbarian. Grom has access to both Path of the Trillith and Frenzy, so when he rages he picks which one he wants to use, though he almost exclusively uses Path of the Trillith. I’ll add the class in a follow up post. It’s a bit broken and theres things I would change after playtesting it, but I think most players want to feel like well hero’s, so I’ve made sure all my players by Seaquen have some “broken” ability or item. I’ve just beefed up my enemies to compensate.[/SPOILER]Indomitability staggered under Grom’s blow, her fire dimming for the first time. Papuvin seized the moment and with Torrent’s help, raised the Living Blade, turned to his people, and called out SING!The Seela began the Song of Forms in unison once more. The melody wove through the air as Papuvin plunged the Living Blade into the ground. The earth shuddered. Pale green light spread outward, and the blade transformed slowly becoming a beautiful weeping willow sapling, Papuvin collapsed to the ground and as the Seela’s song reached its final note and faded into silence.The stillness that followed was deafening.Indomitability paused her attack as she took over a prone Sorian and very bloody Grom. Her body began to shift, her stag form shimmered and changed into that of a tall woman with long brown hair and a crown of flaming antlers.She rolled her shoulders, stretched, and then exhaled a long sigh Wow, that feels good. She looked over the heroes and started laughing explaining that the years of captivity must have weakened her for this group to last so long. Sorian prickled at the jab, but Grom once again appealed for a truce between Indomitability and the Seela.Indomitability seemed to weigh something in her mind before nonchalantly deciding that without that horrible song she could hear their spirits, and she must have rubbed off on them that their spirits are just as indomitable as she is…She thanked the hero’s for freeing her, even if she didn’t leave them a choice. (Though Indomitability was SURE sure she would have gotten out by herself…eventually). As a gesture of her gratitude she stepped closer to Vic and Ze, brushing a finger across each of their necks. They both flinched at a sudden burn, followed by a deep hum of power beneath their skin. A draconic rune, that Reshi translated later to mean “Indomitable”, glowed then faded to where it was barely visible.Indomitability looked skyward I have been caged too long. Let’s see what’s left of this world and her body shimmered once again and became that of stag once more. She rose into the air as her voice spoke into their minds one last time * Our paths will cross again. Try not to disappoint me* before galloping away, vanishing into the smoke of the now truly burning canopy.And that is where Session 26 ended.</blockquote>
