Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrew Moreton" data-source="post: 8083536" data-attributes="member: 6920268">Moving north from Obliteras(which I only just realised I have been spelling and pronouncing incorrectly all the time) the group encountered the blasted Moor of Ringes, fortunatly in their established pattern they left the Coaltongue in a safe area while the main team probed each world so the crew were not stricken by a homicidal frenzy. The main team continued to resist the parasites as they found a small throne and analysed the black powder to discover undead cat fluff. So they started looking for an undead cat and were able to use trueseeing to spot the invisible cat watching them. Negotiations with the Cat began as it ignored them and shortly after the initial conversation openings Manuel noticed his 'Ring of Delayed Doom' had activated revealing that a disease had affected him and given him an insane urge to kill people which it was blocking for a minute (He nearly forgot this item , and only remembered it after rolling for shooting Nevla in the back with a Nock gun for 315 pts of damage) as they tried to work out what was going on and the Cat of Doom realised they were not going to go mad it attacked, a Wail of the Banshee did nothing but came close to hurting them, then a timestop followed by Plague Storm , Cloudkill and Stinking cloud which all failed because Ulvaar had his lifebubble on everyone (Seriously that one ability has made things easier for them so many times) . Manuel used an Elixir to become undead and so immune to disease for 20 minutes , everyone else tried to spot the cat . Then it used a wave of exhaustion on them , which was crippling for several pc's because they now had problems carrying their equipment at this point  they decided the cat was not a big enough problem to be worth fighting and teleported out.  Analysis revealed the planes property of murderous insanity and they added it to the list of planes they did not want an icon for.Moving on they came to Metarri (AKA Dagobah/Kashyk) the giant newts amused them and they found the crashed golden legion ship. Realising something was trapped in the boiler but suspecting a devil they set up a safety system to vent the steam as they opened it and a Dimensional lock to stop the devil teleporting. Of course the Savety vent failed and scalding steam filled the ship which because of the lifebubble they were completely safe from (they also had fire resistance magic up).  A rather sad pit fiend crawled out ranting about gremlins and being trapped for 10 years, they made him some tea and sympethically chatted with him and got the complete layout of the Shining Legions fortress as well as information which Ashima-shimtu corroberated about its leadership. Then they stuffed him in the absurdist web, planning to release him with a warning after they had broken the legion. By this point they worked out this plane broke technology and retreated without ever bringing the Coaltounge down (so no sabotage for them). Again this world is being consigned to the bin.They decided to finish their sweep of planes not too close to the Legion or Voice of Rot and moved onto 7 which was a world of floating rocks apparetly bare of all life until close investigation revealed clutches of Sleeping Dragons on many of the rocks . Retrocognition was used to learn of the planes history and it turned out the doom of this plane was the fault of dwarves who dug too deeply (a common problem but this time no Balrog) the core of the planet has a strong charge of Earth magic while the rest of the plane was steeped in air magic, when they mined the core the balance was upset and the world flew apart killing most things. The dragons then ate everything and before they started on each other the elder dragons put them into suspended animation. It was determined this ritual would wake them if there was enough life on the plane to sustain them but until then sisturbing them jus triggerred an attack. No way round this was found but a plane with easy flight and young female red dragons was determined to be something they had to use El Kevin defeinetly thought so , and Pemberton would be unhappy of they did not. Also it would replace Baden which they were suspicous of anyway.Finally 11 appeared to be a world frozen in winter with the slightly ruined form of magnificent towers amidst the tree's and small houses almost all ruined also amidst the tree's. The players concluded elves lived here from the way the tree's and towers blended in , so they entered the edge of the world to use retrocognition to find it's histroy and immediatly an elf arrived and greeted them , she was standoffish and warned them this place was a sanctuary under her protection and any theft or damage would result in her killing them. They assumed she was overconfident but powerful (they were wrong she was not overconfident I had dug out the mythic rules and killing 5 level 20 pc's would not have been that hard). They spoke for a while telling her part of why they were there and she was suprised that another group had worked out how to build a solar system. She agreed to speak with them more comfrotably and invited them to her home for breakfast. William completed the retrocognition and determined this world was old, there had been no apocolypse it seemed that as the sun faded the elves had put their civilisation into hibernation and then let the end come.At the elf called Galadrial's house(pc of mine, I have limited imagination for names) they had some very nice breakfast pastries (causing 2 of the players to recognise the elf , which was my pc on sunday , they also concluded that meant I would have pulled out all the stops for maximum cheese). They discussed things more , the elven civilisation was largely sleeping waiting to see if anything interesting came along before they joined their gods and ancestors. She had met Rock (Annoying little man with bad taste in music), the Shining legion(a Pit Fiends head on a stick  was outside) and William Millar but was largely uninterested in general gyre events. The players thought this world may be interesting as including it would wake the elven civilisation and give them another powerful group in the solar system who could help protect against the devils and ghidim while leaving planar links open. Galadrial agreed to consult with the hibernating Queen and High mages , as she did so they departed to prepare for the attack on the legion.Firstly they decided the Volcano needed to go. So Manuel had a Mad idea, he would build a volcano snuffing bomb, based on the BOMB and using all of his alchemical knowlege and built in Wulfendyne the plane of mad science he would build an ice bomb to extinguish the volcano. Meanwhile Doverspike would take out the lava store en-route to the aft treasury which should keep him busy,happy and out of their way while hurting the legion. El Kevin and allies from various worlds would lead strike teams to rescue the slaves, while the Coaltongue protected by Gold from Urim and the disabling of the Egalatrix's main weapons would take out their air-skiffs and dock facility. The main team would kill General Marcus and his chief liuetenants which would also help confuse the legion command structure.  They believed the leaders they face are1) High General Marcus Hellknight, Anti-paladin and Diabolic Graveknight heavily armoured (living suit of Adamantine armour) immune to most elements scary as hell and deadly in close combat2) General Grumblejack. Cheerfully cannibalistic former Ogre Barbarian and know a powerful devil 3)Star Marshal Tiadora , handmaiden devil and BardWe are into the end game now , with an estimated completion in November</blockquote>
