Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrew Moreton" data-source="post: 8067371" data-attributes="member: 6920268">This session did not deal with the events I orginally planned as it turns out William's player will probably be unavailable for the next two weeks so I pushed them towards meeting William Miller to get the revelations from that meeting out when everyone was present, they will deal with Mavisha and Pirates later as that can be done with less than a full turnout.After the dragon fled from them on Wilanir they debated searching other forts or splitting up, but decided to just follow the dragon, splitting up was a bad idea they felt in case a vampiric great wyrm stopped running away and turned on them, it would take all of them to handle him. Tracking him down in his lair proved fairly easy although they were dissapoined to find  none of their magic could interrogate zombies they encountered along the way. Finding the dragon hiding by his horder  Manuel was sympathetic to the obviously broken dragon, everyone else was abit less sympathetic as he was still a vampiric great wyrm red dragon so can't have been a nice person before his trauma and the end of the world. Nevla and William tried to coax the dragon into talking with their mighty charisma's (Nevla rolled a 1 , and with aid from William it was still a diplomacy total of 50) meanwhile erveryone else looked around staying away from the hoard and found the story of the world etched into the wall in draconic. They discovered that Doverspike the dragon had accidentally committed genocide and had gone insane at least partly because he had never felt bad about anything before and lacked the mental framework for introspection and redemption. Nevla was certain she could convince the dragon to make himself feel better he should repay the debt he owed the world by killing some bad people. They debated and decided that they should turn him loose on the shining legion as the same time they attacked, there he would have the promise of gold to appeal to his avarice as well as his need for redemption and the players would be able to take advantage of his distraction to slip into the fortress and rescue the people they needed to, while with the pirates there would be too much risk that Doverspike would kill all of the slaves. They did consider using magic to restore his sanity, but then realised that a Sane great wyrm vampiric red dragon was probably a worse problem than this insane one. They moved on planning to return when they were ready to attack the Shining legion.The next world they came to was Bathory a world consisting of a great Convent set in mountains at the edge of the world , with a Gazebo on the cliff side. They considered the Gazebo to be a potential sinister threat, but were able to confirm it was none animate. As they approached one of the nuns came out to meet them and confirmed their intelligence that the convent was inhabited by vampire nuns. She asked them to keep clear of the nunnery as it was hard for the sisters to restrain their hunger after so long without food, she could just about manage and would serve tea in the Gazebo.  The tea was quite good.The nun called Genevieve explained about this world, while she was a vampire she and most of the rest of the nuns were not undead she had never died and still had a heartbeat she did need to drink blood but was not hurt by positive energy. It seemed that on her world most of what would be undead elsewhere were  like this. They had peacefully lived among humans but several nations had united behind an anti-vampiric religion and a great war had started ,unfortunatly the aggressors turned loose a disease which was supposed to destroy the blood in vampires killing them, it mutated and devestated the world. This place survived because it was an isolated shelter from the world which vampires returned to when tired of living among humans often for a few decades. From this they determined the world was Death and Water with a trait of 'Undead are more alive' this seemed useful as it would make undead less predatory and also mean that becoming undead no longer forced someone to become evil. They also learned that Rock had been here and his harem had expanded to include two vampire nuns! They carefully checked that Doverspike had been male, and then realised that Rock was attracted and attractive to all genders and feared him adding Doverspike to his harem. They wondered if he would eventually end up battling the Voice of Rot and killing it, they decided that was too embarrassing he was not allowed to steal their end boss!They then discussed ways to help this world, they  could not find a way around the vampires need for living blood but they did discover that a ring of sustenance could solve the problem for a vampire so they blew several miracles and a pile of shining legion gold on creating some rings and other magical source of food . Calily revealed the existance of the other monks and her magical origami flying monastery and they traded her rings of sustenace for bandoliers of magical fruit which could keep everyone fed. It would take a few weeks for the vampires to get over their hunger but then they would be willing to help. An Icon was created .(This world has much of the way vampires work stolen from several novels, and was intended to be another interesting choice for the pc's)Next Apet , to be continued after I deal with having to do my job for a while</blockquote>
