# [[062_20220724 The Eclipsed End]] ## Session Summary > [!tldr] [[062_20220724 The Eclipsed End]] > Endelyn cast _Dominate Beast_ on Zybilna's pet dragon, Arkenox, temporary getting him to attack Diesa, but after Endelyn's concentration was broken, Diesa found out she felt a strange kinship with the dragon that it semeed to feel as well, and she was able to command it to attack Endelyn instead. > > Kryx moved up to the real Endelyn and got something from her, but Ora clocked it with inhuman speed and was able to take the item back from him - it was the Kiss of the Changebringer, a gem-encrusted necklace. Ora made it clear that getting her sibling out came first, and Irae backed her up. During the fight, Flint cast a spell that made getting stunned less likely, and a portal opened from the Summer Queen-- who turned out to be none other than Eryn, who said that she was dealing with her own problems, but still gave Ora a legendary blade called Whisper. > > Meanwhile, with some help from Irae's Binding Ice spell, Boris methodically grappled Endelyn's items away from her, forcing her to shed her layers of protection. Divested of her magical items, Endelyn was an easy kill, especially after an unlikely team-up from Kryx and Ora. > > Ora grabbed the unicorn horn from Boris and freed Zybilna from the time stasis, but her soul still wasn't there. Diesa, driven by a force she didn't understand, knew enough to instinctively connect herself and Zybilna to the cauldron. With that, Zybilna was put back in her rightful body, and she then helped Ora get her sister out of the Kiss of the Changebringer necklace. > > Ora used Psychic Whispers to connect with her sister telepathically and found out, to her surprise, that her sister's name was Aro. ^summary %% <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/u2jWtvIeKic" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> %% --- ## Housekeeping - Both Athlonia's and Boris's Echoes are gone, because I made a rules mistake: when a character is *incapacitated*, they lose their echoes as well. *Stunned* causes *incapacitation*. We won't rewind damage and such, but let's just say both echoes are gone. ## Recap ![[061_20220717 Endelyn's Final Deception#^summary]] ## Strong start > The wind is howling inside this circular chamber, and the double doors on the north are being flung wildly open by the storm outside. The wind is bad enough, but the roars of a dragon that has just joined this fight are echoing around the walls. The dragon is tilting its head, taking in the situation, and thanks to Ora's clutch dispel of the illusion, recognizes the form of Zybilna lying on the floor and the form of Endelyn locked in battle. - Athlonia's form is locked by where Kryx is standing. You can see she's straining to escape the hold that Endelyn has over many of you, but she fails. She breaks through just slightly, using her **Indominable** feat to roll again, but unfortunately she is still unable to move. - Jamedi similarly fails to recover from the stun. - Endelyn uses her second legendary action to use *Puppeteer's lash*, which is a 31 against Athlonia with advantage, because Athlonia's still stunned. Athlonia takes 15 psychic damage and is moved 30 feet. - Irae uses her *Tides of Chaos* feature to roll for the wisdom save at advantage, and still fails both times. She's locked up-- not that you know that, since she still has *Greater Invisibility* and you're not really sure where she is. > So Boris, you WERE lying prone next to who you thought was Endelyn, and Kryx had just finished rifling through her pockets and found nothing. Then Ora came, dispelled the illusion, and now you realize it's Zybilna on the floor near you. > You look around and most of the people around you are stunned: all of the Grim Accord except for Kryx, Jamedi, and Flint are all stunned. > There's a big bloody dragon that's just burst through the room to the south. To either side of it, Lira and Diesa are both looking at it in horror. It's your turn! ## Scenes - [x] Round 3 - [x] Endelyn: pulls out her [Animated Shield](https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/4571-animated-shield) - [x] Endelyn: Dominate Beast on Arkenox. - [x] Kryx moves to Endelyn. He uses a bonus action to find the necklace (he rolled a 31) and a fantastic *Sleight of Hand* as an action to get it (natural 20). - [x] Round 4 - [x] A singular point, a portal, grows at the exact center of the cauldron. [[Sir Talavar]] is conjuring the portal, and says "Fair lady! The Summer Queen sends her aid. We fear it is not too late!". [[Eryn]] pushes him aside and holds out the hilt of a weapon to Ora. "I'm fighting my own battles, but perhaps you need this more." It's [Whisper](https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/5263604-whisper). - [x] Ritual: You realize the ring, the mushrooms... this is a fey crossing. Maybe the biggest fey crossing you've ever seen. - [ ] Kryx makes his move and tries to take off. - [x] Diesa: Channels Zybilna and calms Arkenox - [x] Endelyn: Reveals that it's *her* birthright that Zybilna wants to steal, not the other way around. - [x] Round 5 - [x] Endelyn: Polymorph on Boris - [x] Ora feels a tug at her soul as Aro gets bloodied in the gem as Endelyn takes damage (because of the bloodlink potion). - [x] Diesa: Suggests the eclipse, if nobody else has mentioned it. - [x] Round 6 - [ ] Diesa: Dimension Doors to Kryx if he has escaped. She feels that Zybilna is in the gem. - [x] Endelyn: Counterspell big spells - [x] Hopefully the party remembers they need to create some sort of convincing eclipse to get Endelyn to take some sort of damage. - [x] Zybilna is revived when Diesa channels the power of the Cauldron to put Zybilna's soul back in her body. - [x] Zybilna thanks The Slayers Five. - [ ] The Grim Accord say farewell. ### Endelyn Endelyn's phases: - Normal: (Endelyn cannot be damaged) - *Borrowed power:* Anyone within 30 feet of her who is not under cover makes a DC 16 Wisdom save or is stunned until the end of their next turn. - *Storm's fury*: Endelyn summons the roiling storm outside and strikes `dice: 3d[[061_20220717 Endelyn's Final Deception#^randomchar]]: `dice: 1d20+12`, 30 thunder damage. - LEGENDARY: *Puppeteer's lash:* Ranged spell attack, `dice: 1d20+12` on `dice: [[061_20220717 Endelyn's Final Deception#^randomchar]]`. On a hit, 15 psychic damage and the target is moved 30 feet on the opposite side of the chamber. - Eclipsed: - *Eclipsed Doom*: Cowers in fear before the eclipse. Attacks against her are at advantage. However, she is resistant to bludgeoning, slashing, piercing, fire, thunder, poison, and necrotic damage. - *Kiss of the changebringer*: Endelyn casts *Blink* on herself. `dice: [[061_20220717 Endelyn's Final Deception#^blink]]`. - LEGENDARY: *Steely resolve:* DC 16 Constitution save for `dice: [[061_20220717 Endelyn's Final Deception#^randomchar]]`. On a fail, Endelyn deals them 10 necrotic damage and she regains 20 HP. Endelyn starts out in the *Normal* phase. If the party conjure any form of eclipse that she can see, she is pushed into *Eclipsed* phase. If the party doesn't spend at least one action to sustain the eclipse or bring it to her in a full round, then Endelyn returns to *Normal* phase. Legendary action counter: - [x] 1 - [ ] 2 - [ ] 3 ## Secrets and Clues - [x] [[Aro]] is linked to [[Endelyn Moongrave]] via a [bloodlink potion](obsidian://open?vault=dnd-vault&file=items%2FVault%20of%20Magic%2FBloodlink%20Potion). They take half the damage that Endelyn does. - [ ] The thing that Boris has lost is the memory of him and [[Hardrak]] wrestling each other when they were younger, and Hardrak boasting about being "Othrog the destroyer" and being the "king" of the orcs. - [ ] [[Kryx Bloodgnash]] is a double agent among [[The Grim Accord]]. He doesn't really care about giving [The Kiss of the Changebringer](obsidian://open?vault=dnd-vault&file=items%2FKiss%20of%20the%20Changebringer) back to their patron. He just wants to get it back to HIS employer, [[The Lens]], who want to use it to study changelings. - [x] [[Arkenox]] is loyal to [[Zybilna]], but he's a child and can be easily tricked. - [x] [[Zybilna]] can be unfrozen if she is touched with the unicorn horn and her real name, *Natasha*, is said. - [x] Zybilna's body may be there, but her soul is in [[Topplepot|Diesa Torunn]]. She was trying to communicate to Diesa, but it nearly destroyed Diesa's mind in the process. - [ ] If [[The Grim Accord]] and The Slayers Five part ways, Athlonia is going to make a last-ditch effort to convince Boris to come with her and go through consecution so that he can remember his past lives. She'll tell him to look her up if he ever makes it to [[Rosohna]]. - [ ] Today is Harvest's Rise. Among the people of [[Pride's Call]], this is the day that traditionally, the Torunn heir brings silk back. - [ ] Ora's mother, [[Jenna Iresor|Lin]], survived birthing her... because she's a changeling herself, and had supernatural healing abilities. However, she was left drastically injured. - [x] Ora has already met her sibling... and the only way to unfreeze them is to correctly say their name while touching them with a unicorn horn. - [ ] If Kryx breaks his word, Athlonia will kill him. She always keeps her word. - [ ] The "abomination", the mix of unseelie and seelie blood, is actually [[Endelyn Moongrave]], not Zybilna. The cauldron is actually Endelyn's, and Endelyn is the most powerful of the four sisters. ## [[Loot]] - [x] Whisper (legendary dagger, DDB) - [x] [[The Kiss of the Changebringer]], a necklace belonging to [[Skabatha Nightshade]], currently in [[Endelyn Moongrave]]'s possession, consecrated to [[ttrpgs/The Slayers Five/Avandra]] - [x] [[The Deathwalker's Ward]], a cloak belonging to [[Endelyn Moongrave]] and consecrated to [[The Raven Queen]] - [ ] [Iggwilv’s Cauldron](https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/3895570-iggwilvs-cauldron) - [x] [Animated Shield](https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/4571-animated-shield) - Zybilna: - [ ] [robe of the archmagi](https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/4742-robe-of-the-archmagi) - [ ] [amulet of the planes](https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/4570-amulet-of-the-planes) - [ ] [+1 quarterstaff](https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/5251-quarterstaff-1) - [x] Level 10 and a free feat each. - [ ] If Ora reunites with her sibling, she learns another use for her Psionic Dice... *Psionic Camouflage*: Cast *Invisibility* using a Psionic Die instead of a spell slot. ## Log
