Wow! I haven't
updated Wrath of the Righteous for awhile.
So let's see if I can recap. They
obtained everything they needed and were pulled in to meet Queen Galfrey and
the Herald of Iomedae in Nerosyan's Pathfinder Lodge. There they were given their marching orders to
assault Minagho's hideout, enter the Abyss, seal the rift behind them (with
Queen Galfrey's assistance) and disrupt the Nahyndrian Crystal routes on the
Abyssal side.
So they teleport to Minagho's hide out, well their
teleportation goes awry so they need to spend some time journeying to it, and
slowly slaughter the demonic inhabitants.
They do leave the cambion alive when he makes a deal for his life. He is an alchemist whose worked on the
Nahyndrian crystals, after all, so he seems useful to them. He's also labouring under the delusion that
they are Lawful Good (rather than Neutral Good and Chaotic Neutral) and that
they'll obey their oaths to the letter (not truly understanding how lawful
humans can adapt).
He gets charmed by Minagho (luckily they spot it and don’t figure
it for a betrayal) and fights on her side until he's injured. Then he spends his time using cure potions
and staying out of it until fully healed, by which time Minagho and the others
are all destroyed. Then Queen Galfrey
and her troops arrive and are disgusted by the sight of the cambion, but are
willing to escort him to Drezen for interrogation.
Our heroes enter the abyssal rift while Queen Galfrey
positions herself on the other side, and the two groups shove two pages from
the Codex into the rift and chant it closed.
I skipped a few of the battles on the way through the caves
as they weren't all that exciting compared to what was upcoming and wouldn't
have proven a challenge anyway. They
reached the temple, correctly guessed the puzzle, and appeared in
Alyshinyra.
We then took a few weeks off as I had a bit of a think about
what I'd like to do there. After all,
the book can't devote much space to describing it fully and truly and I didn't
want it to feel like Cheliax for demonkind or only as strange as Kaer
Maga. I think I did a good job, in the
end. You can judge for yourself when I
write it up next week!
