Forward:
Alabaster
is planning to collaborate with a Shadowlich to lead
an assault against the Forgotten Realms pantheon. It’s rumored they have an army of daemons accompanying
them.
The
current gods in power have decided to release the imprisoned essences of the
very planar layers their realms sit on to combat this menace. You will play
these planar layers. In exchange for temporary freedom, these beings will snuff
out Alabaster forever. They must travel to the Citadel of Steel in the
Graveyard of Swords where he calls home and lay waste to the whole demiplane.
“Collapse it. Nothing must be spared. Don’t
even leave ashes!” Mystra, the leader of the council
of greater powers states.
Join me
now as we gather together to find out if you have what it takes, “To Kill an
Amidah”.
Graveyard
of Swords:
When you
appear on this demiplane, all you can see for miles
is a blasted battleground. Titanic dragons circle in the sky of every chromatic
color. Over the ground you see littered campsites of very feral daemons. It
looks like the very ground of this place is made of the fallen weapons of those
who came before you to do battle. A few
miles away, you make out a tower that climbs high into the sky like an obsidian
plateau beckoning all who dare approach. At the base built into the four sides
of the citadel like a compass are titanic constructs of metal clad head to toe
in multilayered armor. A visor obscures the faces. Between the west and south sides of the
citadel is a balcony near the top. On it there is a throne and in that thrown
sits a demure pale skinned humanoid that looks like he is staring a hole
through your soul.
Combat:
When the
Pc’s engage the enemy, a few things happen.
First the orichalcum golems animate and break
away from the citadel. Out of their helmets fly the cogents
who expand to their full size. The dragons swarm to the Pc’s. The army flies into the air to combat the
Pc’s. Alabaster views it all from afar using his wish abilities to counter any
pc’s who try to fight him directly. Within his realm there is no
teleportation-like travel possible. His whole plane is considered unhallowed
ground. The army may fly at will.
