Why Magnus Is Here
Mood:  sharp
Under the Order Of light

We dug down into an organic looking chamber
Sticky and with what sounded like a heartbeat
A dark and oppressive atmosphere

Atlantean technology
But we got down into the chamber

4 exits so we headed south

South

Into another hall of heroes
But one with no divines we recognised
(Jessie explained it later on)

Krakken was the armoured child and he was in the important position
With offerings of blood in his bowl

Rochon a rough statue

A bulky knight with offerings of meteoric iron
(Jessie said it was Odin)

A woman with an bird who was offered food
(unified fate )

And a Mage type that no one knows who he is just yet who was offered paper

West

Much better atmosphere
Seemed to be a dormitory for monks of some description
Very ornate lockers but simple beds

East

An amazing garden still growing and tended by a golem of some sort
A locked shed contained a 6 armed corpse and a diary
The diary was filled in quite recently

Whoever these people were they were fighting against a “him” who had come back first
And they were losing badly

North

This room was half collapsed with a big set of double doors that were welded shut

We opened them and heard sounds of combat and running water

The “water” turned out to be blood and it looked like our heartbeat was a pump
This whole place was an organic creature
A warped corruption of the stuff the shards are made form

The combat was a 6 armed creature fighting constantly respawning Balors
Alex jumped in while Leon closed the portals
Before the figure collapsed it called us “lords” and said they had failed

The last room here led to an statue of the woman who we had seen before
Gurading Alex
At the Keogh house And she bears a remarkable similarity to Gens features

We also found cocoons and a trapped injured 6 armed figure who showed us what had happened
Mordane had come and they, against their oaths, had decided to fight the dark one
They lost and Mordane freed the trapped entity
It was Cerrys

A brief fight ensued and she lost
Mordane was disappointed and promised her a champion to make it interesting
(That champion was young Sam now called Magnus)
She also started the creation of a new master race, that’s what was in the cocoons


We rescued the 2 sentinels (as they called themselves)
And made preparations to leave
When Magnus showed up

He said he could not allow us to leave
One of the sentinels hurt him though and my teleport ritual completed
We went to the palace hoping he would not follow

He did not but Garrin decided the time of the order of light was up
He sent us to help scout out the monastery

While we were doing that Magnus destroyed it and killed everyone in it
He said he had wanted to do it for a while
And was now being “allowed”
It seems the relationship between him and Cerrys is more complex than master/slave
We decided it was best not to push Magnus as he seemed to have some free will
But still follows her orders
And we are not sure what she or he want from us yet

The sentinels

They told us a little of the story
They were created by the “lords” to guard the bits of Cerrys

She was imprisoned in 3 bits and a divine dies to create each prison

Solvoun imprisoned her body and that was what Mordane freed
Rochon imprisoned her soul and that is what was freed at the house of Magnus

1 prison remains, that of her mind, the Lady sacrificed herself to make that one
We do not know who this lady is
But the prison is in the East

The sentinels were created to protect these prisons until the lords returned
They were created using the lanris
They debated for millennia and decided they would fight if it was Krakken who returned first
Which of course he did
And they tried and failed to stop him
But we did learn that all of Cerry’s creations have a back door this may be exploitable

In the flashback one of Mordanes daughters showed up and distracted him
May be worth finding out which one as that could be helpful
But it is a touchy subject with his daughters

In Space

The other Terran battle fleet has arrived
But is not doing anything
It is receiving powerful psychic communications from the planet though
Annas space station decloaked and gave Ebon access to the psychic monitoring system
Under the authority of no one knows who

Ebon also asked her brother Esteban to “talk” to Jean Paul to make him listen
As Earths defence fleet is missing

And Anna is almost finished the rites of fire on the basilisk isles
So Petra can retake her ship

Planet bound help


Alex and Gen decided to help the Fleet by tracking down the psychic on the planet
Leon mentioned a psychic he knew could help
But this psychic was imprisoned on Earth, good job the defence fleet is missing

We talked to the mayor who contacted Savage

Zaphialle is on his way, an Atlantean, powerful and Pauls brother too boot
In their last skirmish Zaph came out on top so he could help us greatly
