Heroes: Ayrin, Gondriel, Haurchefant, Vance
The Heroes receive a lucrative offer from a mind flayer scholar, seeking a crew willing to travel to a lost crystal sphere to recover an ancient artefact. Gondriel is ready to accept, but the rest of the party believes the right thing to do is to join the Elven Imperial Navy in their assault against the Drow fleet.
The Imperial Navy welcomes the Heroes among their ranks, and plans are formed to confront this evil threat. Eventually, it is agreed that the Elven Navy will keep the drow fleet busy, while avoiding confrontation with the Monarch Armada. In the meanwhile, the Heroes will pilot the Dark WAsp and sneak inside the armada to kill the drow matron.
The mission goes as planned, and while the two fleets clash in wildspace, the Heroes manage to infiltrate the Monarch Armada, and slaughter their way to the throne room, where Matron Teela Darkcloud faces them together with her brother Larth. The Heroes emerge victorious from the confrontation, and kill both siblings.
They then rapidly escape the throne room, but are stopped on their way out by a contingent of angry drow soldiers bent on revenge, led by a few priestesses. A tough fight seems imminent.
This might not have been one of the most roleplaying heavy sessions (we can return to that once I am home in a few weeks), but it was very, very cool! I am sure we are frustrating you with our indecisions. The mind flayer mission sounded cool, but it was hard to just ignore the drow fleet.
ReplyDeleteNah, it's great! It means that you don't want to take the wrong decision, and that you care about your character and the story.
