[QUOTE="emeraldbeacon, post: 9027727, member: 7032019"] The team locks the Ragesians in the prison cells, relieving them of all weapons, armor, and spell components, before knocking them out (to ensure they stay out of commission for at least one hour), before heading up to the Royal Vault. There, only one guard, clearly bored in his duty, offers only token resistance to those wishing to see the book. When they arrive , they are horrified to find an illusion in its place! Hurrying out, they leave the guard to investigate while rushing to the banquet itself. Despite the urgency of their mission, they are remarkably polite in waiting for a soldier to confirm their status as tournament victors, and therefore banquet attendees. When finally admitted, drinks are already being shared, with the first course about to be served. Upon hearing the heroes' claims, though, Steppengard flies into a rage, and begins to attack anyone near him. As everyone moves to intercept him, Nina Glibglammer begins to cackle, and transforms herself into a writhing ball of massive snakes, revealing herself as the Trillith named Madness. With the plot to drive the nobles mad via poison thwarted, she resorts to her own Confusion abilities (with limited success), before lashing out with her fangs. The team bard quickly puts her earlier knowledge of the Song of Forms into use, locking the beast in the material realm. In the end, it is Nina's old traveling companion, who deals the final blow. Once Madness is finally defeated, everything falls silent for a moment, until Steppengard finally breaks down in tears. With a clear mind for the first time in almost a month, he is horrified at his own actions, and immediately casts aside his crown. With calls for moderation, the remainder of the Council of Nine agrees to put off any final decisions regarding the throne, and first establish the security of the nation. In the next few days, Steppengard formally abdicates the throne, falling in rank to Baron. Gallo reluctantly accepts the role of King; in his first admittedly selfish acts, he elevates Dashgoban and Timor each to the rank of Duke and Duchess, naming them both the new Shields of Dassen, and charges them with demonstrating their service to the nation to his teenage son, soon to become the new Lord of his land. The group from Seaquen is lauded as heroes, and in a surprising move, Lord Megadon suggests that they be granted land holdings in the south of Dassen. All too soon, however, a call comes from Seaquen, requesting the heroes return swiftly, to address a possibly urgent situation... [B]SESSION NOTES: [/B]The party arrived before the banquet began, so no murderous rampage was available, which was kind of a letdown in the grand scheme of things. I boosted Madness' HP accordingly, just to make the fight last longer. In the final round, Madness dealt out three separate [I]Long Term Madnesses[/I], which rightfully terrified the other players... thankfully, the paladin was on hand to remove the poison that caused said afflictions.
