Then they remembered the missing children and decided they would have to live with Gremlin effects if the children were at risk. They then tried to work out if they could de-gremlin the gremlins and return them to children and came to the conclusion it would need a Miracle or Wish and that was just not practical on any scale. Later they wondered if over time Ulvaar would be able to turn the Gremlins into Dwarves. Manuel's player had a complete inability to call the Gremlins Gremlins and always called them Goblins leading to occassional confusion as Manuel is a Goblin.Eventually prepared to face Granny and knowing that unlike the other Titans they had faced there was little room to deal as she would want children and they could not agree to that while they had the power gathered to strike her down. They reached Favela , and as they were travelling by Wild Hunt their option of arriving incognito went as the Queen's arrival was announced by blaring trumpets.  They spoke to the Mayor and rapidly realised she was lying to them about the situation as she is just not up to lying to high level characters , then they worked out she was the brother of the Druid they had arrested for working with the Voice of Rot and got serious about questioning her, she revealed her plans and was arrested for Treason.  They discussed taking her along to meet Granny as they thought her schemes may annoy Granny in the end they decided to take her along as a possible distraction.Reaching the mine they found the only working lift and decided to fly down the liftshaft as they assumed a trap, Ulvaar took the lift down so it was out of the way and  found a Gremlin planning to cut the cable and obliterated it. At the bottom of the shaft they met Granny's favoured children and were escorted to meet her, disabling all the traps along the way much to the annoyance of the Gremlins.When they reached Granny Nevla presented the traitor and started talking about the betrayal by the Voice of Rot, she did not intend to get a deal but was distracting her while Manuel sneaked off and found the children. He considered putting them in the Absurdist web but that would have been too slow , instead he planned to put the portable hole he normally kept big bombs and guns in under them and just drop them into it , some would get hurt and they could not stay for long without running out of air , but it would get them clear of the fight and the barrels of firedust and Nevla could easily fix all the injuries. As soon as the children started to vanish Granny noticed and the fight was on.Manuel continued to rescue the children, Nevla William and Padme charged forward and eliminated 2 of the 3 earth elementals, Granny tried the evil eye and Nevla and William saved, it soon became apparent that her Evil Eye was rather Neutral as not one pc would fail their save against it all day , she backpedalled a bit out of reach and tried a charm on Nevla which was blocked by a Spell immunity so Granny did not try that or curses again presuming them to be blocked (Correctly) Ulvaar flew forward and hit her in the face with lightning. Swarms of Gremlins stole lots of stuff from the pc's and the aura's of Granny's 4 children hit. Manuel finished putting the children in the hole and activated his Mecha suit. Nevla flew clear of the rest of the team and cast Dictum wiping out a field of Gremlins and staggerring Granny , she missed 2 of the children as she could not risk hitting her fellow pc's after she realised at the last minute the spell targeted Neutral characters as well as chaotic ones.    Padme and William charge Granny and stab her, which triggers a tragedy.  Some of their attacks missed, so both of them are hit by the anger aura and turn the nearest person which means that after granny backs off next round the couple will be fighting each other. There is discussion and no quick trick to avoid this can be found, instead they suggest they should talk to Rock and get him to write a tragic ballard about love cut short by viscous stabbing.  Granny backs off to let the two fight and mazes Ulvaar, he and the lightning weasel discuss the best way to get out but sadly they take ulvaar's route and he remains mazed.Manuel blasts Granny with a Nock Gun despite her DR that hurts , Nevla scours the rest of the Gremlins from the room with a Firestorm and singes Granny. William and Padme stab each other, fortunatly an early strike from William staggers Padme and she is tough enough to take his attacks, he is lightly stabbed by her. Their lethality when not working together is much reduced fortunatly for them.  Granny hits Manuel with a Hostile Juxtaposition and punches William. Ulvaar listens to the Weasel and emerges from the Maze.Nevla uses a magical item to Maze Padme, Manuel shoots granny with a Cannon and is Juxtaposed hitting himself with a cannon shot which really hurts. William is now able to charge Granny as she attacked him last and rushes across and stabs her, which is not fun for her. Padme finds her way out of the Maze and is now standing next to a badly wounded Manuel, Manuel gets worried. Granny punches William again. Ulvar flies over and hits granny she offers to Surrender and come to a deal something about taking some children and cursing their enemies, no one listens .In any case William has no option but to attack Granny from confusion and hurts her, Padme tries to Kill Manuel who hides behing his Tower shield and desperatly defends, he is not hit. Nevla hits Granny with a Soulreaver spell blasting through her spell resistance and killing her. They flee the mine and release the children outside. With the absence of the Fey Titan William and Nevla are able to push Ulvaar into the role, he slowly starts to notice he can feel the mountains. There is no time for him to stay here, he will return once the world is safe and become the King Under the Mountain.They plan on going after the Voice of Rot and to avoid the hour or two of fight planning next week , I skip ahead and reveal he is gone they do talk to the Goblin shamen ghost and are dissapointed he does not remember more details of the Ritual they want more.  They contact Athrylla and ask her to divine anything she can about the Axis island ritual, she promises to do so once she and Kasavarina finish putting down the Raksahas released from imprisonment by the Eladrin Empire. (A useful explanation why Kasavarina is not helping with the Fey Titans)Next they discuss recruiting the other Dragon refugees as the Risuri air force, Manuel wants to build them steam suits, he despite the protests from others mentions the idea to Tinker who is currently working on refitting the Coaltongue to fly. Tinker is inspired. This will come back to haunt them in book 13 when Harkover has a steam battlesuit. They persuade two of the three to sign up by paying them a lot, the third is busy salvaging wrecked Danoran warships sunk by she who writhes.There is them much discussin about if the Lightning Weasel now has a beard, and if so what a beared weasel looks like.Ulvaar is too busy to look for his destinied love, duty comes first! (also the players notes are taking longer than either he or I expected) Nevla is not sure who her true love is but feel a pull towards the Vault of Heresies. Incidentally there is a discussion about if the change of the world has released Ashima Shintu. William feels she will  have escaped and be a disaster, Manuels player agrees but Manuel is convinced that if they release her she can be redeemed and become a useful member of sosciety . Nevla's player remains silent as she knows that Nevla and Ashima Shintu have a destiny.Next Week She Who Writhes</blockquote>
