Session 64

PCs (lvl 19): Alexander, Broch, Tarlyn, Yincan

The party visits Zadara to update her on their progress. They also have an interesting discussion about their future plans, and how to best prepare for the confrontation with Shadowthrone.

Using mythical components recovered during their travels, Broch takes the opportunity to forge a magical armor for Yincan, and to improve Alexander's bow, helped by his companions.

Yincan reincarnates a few bones of a githyanki warrior he found in hell. The gith returns to life as a dragonborn, and she struggles to come to terms with this new reality.

In order to quench Blackrazor's hunger, Tarlyn begins to murder criminals in the hive, until the sword suggests to seek employment as an executioner for the Mercykillers.

While he's resting in a trance, Tarlyn receives a vision from Shadowthrone. The party's quest is nearing its end, and the God of Death is eager to meet them.

Session 58

PCs (lvl 17): Alexander, Broch, Tarlyn, Yincan

The PCs find themselves in Thrassos, an olympian city in Arborea. They take the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful weather and throw a magnificent party in their own honour. When the festivities are about to be concluded, Alexander is visited by the Prophet, reminding him of his duties.

In the meanwhile, Tarlyn has attuned to the sword Blackrazor, learning a few of its secrets, and meeting an old friend. It looks like Sshisah's psyche has "merged" with the sword, and now lives on in the magical weapon.

The party returns to Sigil thanks to a portal to the Mortuary, and take some time to go shopping. They also begin to look around for some real estate, either in Sigil, or in the Outlands.

Eventually they visit Zadara. The titan is pleased with their efforts, and congratulates them for their achievements. While they were away, she has discovered the location of a portal that will lead the party to the lair of a frost giant king. Having worked with Broch on better understanding the powers of his magical hammer Titan's Lust, she believes that defeating more fearsome giants will only increase the power of the weapon. The party prepares for the next expedition.

Session 49

PCs (lvl 14): Broch, Levarion, Tarlyn, Yincan

Back in Sigil, the party takes the opportunity to inform Zadara of their exploits, and to show Zadas around a bit. The triton confirms his intention to help the PCs in their quest, and decides to return to the realm of the Olympian gods to prepare the road for the rest of the party.

The PCs accompany Zadas to the portal that will bring him home, but just as the barbarian has left, a band of followers of Shadowthrone attacks the party. The creatures, led by a Shadar-kai Soulmonger, are looking for the Coins that Broch is holding, as it is now clear the dwarf has defied Shadowthrone and has no intention to keep to the Deal made.

The battle is harsh and bloody, with bodies falling on both sides. When Tarlyn is the only one left standing from the party, he allows the Soulmonger to take the Coins from Broch's unconscious body. Still, the Soulmonger confirms to Tarlyn that Shadowthrone has not forgotten him, and their Deal still stands.

After the Soulmonger and his Steel Predator companion have left the room, the PCs regain their senses. They've suffered a defeat, but have learned a lot about their enemies, and themselves.

Session 45

PCs (lvl 12): Alexander, Broch, Levarion, Tarlyn, Yincan

The PCs enter the portal, and find themselves back in the Yawning Portal. Still high from the strong spirits he imbibed in the steading, Aleksander throws a big party to celebrate their arrival.

While the party recovers, the Prophets pays them a visit, directing them to Zadara to seek help for their future confrontation with Shadowthrone.

When they meet Zadara, the titan suggests that they petition three Olympian gods, the brothers Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades. They possess the three legendary weapon the PCs recovered from White Plume Mountain, and they may be willing to give them to the PCs if they prove their worth.

She delivers to them the key to activate the portal in the Great Gymnasium that will bring them to Poseidon's realm, and sends them on their way. Broch remains with Zadara, to further acquaint himself with the mystical powers of his hammer.

Session 41

PCs (lvl 11): Alexander, Broch, Levarion, Nuada, Tarlyn

Aleksander visits the Prison and joins the Mercykillers. He swears to uphold the law, and bring the guilty to Justice, no matter the cost.

Ik'phus informs Tarlyn that the coin once hidden in Sshisah's statue is gone. Tarlyn supposes (rightly) that Nuada must have retrieved it in the meanwhile.

Broch completes the crafting of Titan's Lust, his masterpiece magical warhammer. As a final touch, he adds one of the coins of Shadowthrone to the design. Nuada assists him in this task, painting mythical scenes of battles against the dark god.

Levarion visits A'kin at the Friendly Fiend, acquiring a few magical items to help in the party's quest.

The party tracks down the lair of their drow assailants, and face the dark elves in an underground temple of sorts. They manage to kill a mage and a priestess of Lolth, before the remaining villains escape by using their levitation ability to drop down a seemingly bottomless chute.

Session 40

PCs (lvl 11): Broch, Levarion, Nuada, Tarlyn

Having defeated the drow assault party, the PCs reach Zadara's abode, where Broch petitions for an hair of the titan, in order to complete his magical hammer. Zadara gives him three hair, with the promise that he will use the hammer in her service once in the future.

The party returns to the Yawning Portal, where Tarlyn interrogates the soul of one of the drow attackers that he had previously imprisoned in a magical cage. From the soul they learn of the possible location of a drow hiding place in Sigil.

Nuada brings forth his agenda of going against Shadowthrone, gathering support from most of the party. The same night, both he and Tarly share the same dream-vision, revealing the location of the coin Nuada and Broch hid inside Shissah's statue. The two elves awaken and race to the statue to secure the coin, with Nuada arriving first. Tarlyn realises he cannot take the coin without conflict, and desists.

The day after, Nuada secretly asks Broch to retrieve the coin with the help of his powers of stone shaping. The dwarf performs the task without much trouble. Unaware, Talryn asks the same to the demon Ik'phus, one of his contacts with the Fated.

Session 39

PCs (lvl 11): Alexander, Broch, Levarion, Tarlyn

Broch begins to work on his Masterpiece, a magical hammer that he hopes will make him a legend among weaponsmiths. Together with the party, they search the Great Foundry for inspiration and materials. 

Aleksander receives a vision from the Keeper of Oaths, servant of Shadowthrone. The God of Death is aware that the ranger has attuned to one of his coins, but he has not made any deal with the divinity. Aleksander defies the herald of Shadowthrone, and refuses to wager his soul. 

Tarlyn experiences a moment of deeper understanding of his mysterious patron, with the help of voices from the Shadowfell. It looks like Shadowthrone is trusting in the dark elf to be the one to gather his coins and reap the rewards. 

Levarion decides to relinquish his coin, and focus on finding like-minded individual to oppose the power of both Lolth and Shadowthrone. Revenge from both gods comes swiftly, when a war band of drow attacks the PCs on the streets of Sigil.

Session 31

PCs (lvl 9): Aleksander, Broch, Levarion, Nuada, Tarlyn

Back in Sigil, the PCs deliver the three magical weapons to Zadara, and she rewards them with the fourth coin ofthe God of Death. Zadara also promises Broch to teach him how to harness his divine powers without the need of venerating a god.

Broch and Nuada begin the construction of a monument to remember Sshisah, the yuan-ti artist that lost her life in White Plume Mouintain.

Tarlyn, Aleksander, and Levarion take care of some bussiness in the streets of Sigil, and take the opportunity to do some shopping.

Session 26

PCs (lvl 7): Sshisah, Skrolk, Paddy, Tarlyn

The PCs speak with Tripicus, an Ursinal with a lot of knowledge about the Prime Material Plane. The celestial does not have the means to restore Skrolk, but the party does not give up. In order to attract the attention of the patrons of the Yawning Portal, Sshisah performs and improvised set based on text provided by Paddy, hoping some friendly priest will step forward. 

She's lucky enough to meet Abdul, a cleric of Thoth passing by Sigil between his travels as a crewmember of an Astral ship. Abdul does require payment, but he's willing to end the curse afflicting Skrolk, and restore him to life.

Having completed his quest, Tarlyn is officially a member of the Fated. The nycaloth Ik'phus, a factotum of the Takers, takes a particular interest in the dark elf warlock.

The party is then approached by the Gentleman, a mysterious man acting on behalf of an even more mysterious patron. He escorts the PCs to the Lady's Ward, to a magnificent mansion of titanic proportions. There they meet Zadara, the Titan of Potential.

The celestial owns one of the coins of Shadowthrone, and she's willing to part with it if the PCs will perform a task for her; they must travel through a portal to the "death trap" of an ancient wizard, and recover three "intelligent" weapons. Clearly interested, the party seals a deal with Zadara, before leaving to take care of a few pending issues in Sigil.

The session ends with Paddy visiting the Barracks, applying for membership with the Harmonium.

Session 25

PCs (lvl 7): Paddy, Skrolk, Sshisah, Tarly (special guest Merci)

The PCs decide to think on A'kin's poroposal, and possibly check what other interested parties have to offer. 

They begin to make their way to the Hive, in order to accomplish the task Tarlyn received from the Fated. On their way there, they cross paths with a crazed basilisk. They fight the creature, but when Skrolk uses the power of his magical bracelet, its curse turns the kobold to stone! The PCs defeat the basilisk, and decide to carry Skrolk's petrified form with them. The tabaxi Merci makes her appearance, and joins forces with the party.

The PCs reache their destination, a warehouse in the Hive. They infiltrate the compound, and are attacked by a band of Anarchists squatters led by a dark elf mage. The fight is a difficult one, but the PCs emerge victorious. 

Not long after, an Harmonium patrol arrives on the scene to investigate. Some hoenyed words and a bit of magic ensures that the party can leave in the good graces of the Hardheads.

Still carrying Skrolk's statues, the party returns to the Yawning Portal, looking for a way to end the curse afflicting their little scaled friend.

Session 24

PCs (lvl 7): Paddy, Skrolk, Sshisah, Tarlyn

The party mingles with Sigil's personalities while attending the feast that follows their successful performance. There they meet several possible patrons, and make a new friend, the dwarf Paddy. It seems the dwarf shares their quest, as he also seeks the seven coins of Shadowthrone.

The day after, Tarlyn visits the Hall of Records to take his admission tests and become a member of the Fated. He barely succeeds in the tasks assigned, and he's presented with a few additional possibilites to improve his scores. A factor of the Fated has an issue with some squatters in the Hive, and if Tarlyn could take care of them, he would certainly be rewarded for it. The drow returns to the Yawning Portal to meet with the others and make plans.

Before investigating the matter, the party decides to visit A'kin, the arcanoloth owner of the Friendly Fiend, in order to sell a few magical trinkets. While at the shop, the fiend drives a hard bargain, also hinting at the opportunity to work for him and his former "friends" in the Blood War.

Session 23

PCs (lvl 7): Nuada, Olbis, Skrolk, Sshisah, Tarlyn

Tarlyn explores the Hall of Records, seeking to join the Fated. He retrieves several books necessary to complete those tasks that will allow him to become a member of the Takers.

Sshisah and Nuada make the last arrangements in preparation for Sshisah's performance at the Civic Feasthall. All the PCs contribute to the planning and execution of the performance.

The show is a great success, earning the whole party the accolades of the spectators, and granting Sshisah acceptance in the Society of Sensation.

Session 15

PCs (lvl 5): Nuada, Olbis, Skrolk, Tarlyn, Sshisah

Sshisah and Nuada pay a visit to Harys Hatchis, to discuss about the yuan-ti bard and the possibility to have her perform for a large crowd. Harys is quite confident in Sshisah 's abilities, and agrees to promote her.

In the meanwhile, Skrolk, Tarlyn, and Olbis are having a drink in the Dark Sigh, a tavern catering mostly to low-lives. There they meet the tiefling Slipknot, a local criminal with contacts in Sigil's undergorund. He directs them to the Styx Oarsman, a tavern where they can find Rule-of-Three, the real power behind Sigil's crime scene. He may have some work for them, if they don't mind blood on their hands.

When the PCs are together again, they decide to have one last drink at the Styx Oarsman. While they travel there, they're assaulted by Chaosmen thugs. Having taken care of these robbers, they arrive at their destination. After a hefty bribe, they persuade the bouncer to let them in.

Session 14

PCs (lvl 5): Sshisah, Skrolk, Nuada, Olbis, Tarlyn

The party leaves Khundrukar, and they travel back to the Griffon's Nest inn. As it happended in the past, when they approach the entrance of the inn while carrying Shadowthrone's coins, the doorway becomes a magical portal.

When they cross over they find themselves back in the Yawning Portal. There they reunite with the kobold Skrolk, and meet a few of the locals. Among them, Harys Hatchis, a flamboyant man with a penchant for drama, and the Gentleman, the factotum of a powerful "patron" not better identified.

The party spends some time in Sigil to make good use of their treasure and acquiring some supplies. While travelling the streets of Sigil, they come into contact with a few of the Factions that administer the Cage.
