. . . and then it’s done. (?)

Discussion and epilogue here.

Pretty interesting that the dragon swallowed the folly.. ( maybe it was the other name )

It did that after it spit its breath weapon at us...

[Asinjin]

As soon as Russell and the guardians were both here, Asinjin knew this would end poorly.

While still roided up on Transformation, he looks for Russell to punch.

[Asinjin]

What is the effect of Iskin fleeing and Marcus' destruction have on the undead and their other allies in the city?

[Asinjin]

To be clear on where everything ended:

- temple in ruins
- Iskin flew away having swallowed the folly
- Marius is dust
- the undead horse remains
- Navi and Wake the raven familiar are dead, anyone else including NPCs?
- no sign of Uscis

Did the wave of force effect structures?  If so, did it level this section of the city?

My intention is to use this thread for wrap up of these events and then when appropriate to start a more general continuation thread for the transition years. I’ll try to give everyone a chance to reply to posts so we avoid any issues of getting too far ahead and then someone posting what they wanted to do five posts earlier.


After Iscen’s frees himself of the rubble and takes flight he is only visible for a few seconds (one round) before he clears the dimensional barrier and teleports away. Fortunately the area immediately around the temple is abandoned. Unfortunately a 500’+ dragon is visible for miles and for a brief moment you can hear panicked screams from the southern part of the city.

After he disappears the cloud of shadows dissipates. The more powerful undead on the other side of the wall likewise depart. Seeing the rest of the horde clamoring for battle, Ajax, Arion and Alara take up a position before the doors. After a few moments contemplating the ruins Escalon joins them.

Before the wall of force ends there is the sound of further collapse from the ruins and suddenly the ground in a circle around the original footprint of the temple gives way as the catacombs, sewers and other underground chambers collapse under the weight of the rubble.

Seeing a path around the wall many of the undead begin to circle around. This goes poorly for them as the first wave is annihilated by Ajax’s turning and those that survive find themselves in the overlapping auras of Ajax, the Gemblade and Escalon. Moments later the wall disappears and the remaining paladins rush to aid the others.

[Asinjin]

Benlin had a Fortunate Fate spell cast on him, and because he Share Spells with his familiar, can he trigger it to go off to save the familiar from death?

Was the familiar killed by the force blast or the temple collapse? If it’s the former yes but it has to then make the reflex save for the temple collapse.

Benlin wasn't in the temple.

[whitesword]

Benlin wasn't in the temple.

Everyone outside had to make a reflex save when the temple collapsed.

[Asinjin]

Everyone outside had to make a reflex save when the temple collapsed.

He rolled a 16, plus at least 13, so 29 or more.

Poor Navi. It's probably some time before Ari realizes she winked out of existence.

Unless Uscis, Marius, or Iscen show up in Ari's 1.7 mile radius detect evil field, he will help dispatch the undead. Focusing on the most powerful first.

There is no sign of Iscen’, Marius or Uscis. The battle against the undead lasts several minutes. Most of them are incorporeal and as you strike them down more emerge from the black field. Spells and turning are the most effective means of dispatching them. In the end none escape and silence falls over the city. All but the most powerful combatants are physically exhausted and nearly all the divine energy had been spent.

Those knights and Guardians who did not come to grips with the undead disperse into the city to take stock of the situation.

Half an hour after the battle ends, two Vishtoo descend from the sky. Both are armed with a katana and wakizashi. One dressed in Icefian fashion, with a heavy fur cape over its natural cape, heavy boots, a quilted cuirass and wool trousers. The other is dressed in a leather gye and kilt, with a reddish tint, and sandals with straps that wrap it’s calfs. They land near Escalon and Arion and bow to the high king.

The one in the gye says: “We followed Uscis, looking for an opportunity to challenge him but he joined with the Scaled Knights and a great host of barbarians. They have withdrawn north.”

[Asinjin]

Asinjin, now completely exhausted, coughs nearly uncontrollably from time to time.  When it is clear that there is no imminent danger, he takes his leave and teleports home, saying he will return when he can to help.
