Kingmaker Session 53

The group confront’s Nyrissia. Learning about her downfall and preventing the destruction of their kingdom. The group also learns of the true final threat that they will have to deal with…

Nyrissia’s Domain

Last time the group decided to rest up before entering another one of Nyrissia’s demi plans. The moment they where ready, the group stood around the bed and envisioned entering the plan…

Before seeing the demiplane’s form, the group sees a memory. This time, Nyrissia is on her hands and knees. Kneeling before a floating flame. A deep masculine voice echos from everywhere. It declares that Count Ranalc has been banished but her fate was still in question. It then manifested a glass vile. It said that this would be her apology. She would be stripped of her love and happiness and only made whole again after it was filled.

The domain then manifested. It was a fantastical garden. Nyrissia stood next to a statue of herself. She asks the group if they know how the Apology works. She answers her own question by saying it absorbs kingdoms after she kills their leaders. Conveniently all the leaders of Gloomwerth where standing before her right now.

Stetson tried to reason with her. Offering Beakie’s Feather as a peace offering. However, the queen was not hearing it. The fight begins.

Blinding Beauty

The queen is one of the most beautiful mortal creatures to have ever live. Her beauty is so powerful, that it functions as a powerful aura that blinds foes who get to close.

Gregile and Smoke are blinded right off the bat. Things go from bad to worst when Rox gets hit with an Uncontrollable Dance spell. The queen remains mobile while all of this is happening. Dodging spells from Stetson Suzaku and Gregile.

Smoke Strikes True

Thankfully after being burned down a little by spells from Suzaku, Smoke is able to get close to the fey queen once more. He activates true strike and lands a powerful blow with Gloom’s Wrath. The cold iron vorp blade deals significant damage to the Nymph. Seeing that she is not long for this world she surrenders, leaving her life in the hands of the party.

Forgiveness

The group decides to spare her. She is grateful and pledges to help in anyway that she can.

She reveals that the lantern king has access to an elite fey group known as The Wild Hunt. They would be coming for the group soon. In fact, the only reason the group was not dead right now was because the lantern king was likely still plotting how best to punish the group.

Conclusion

The group has gained a powerful allie and an even more powerful foe. They also have leveled up to 20! Gaining access to the peak power of their classes.

The group came to the conclusion that instead of waiting for the Lantern King to come for them, they would go to him. With Nyrissia’s help and Gregile’s occult knowledge the group would plane travel to the realm of the Lantern King and take the fight to him.
