NORSE MYTHOLOGY BOW TO THE MIGHT OF THOR, FALL TO THE TRICKS OF LOKI! With the shenanigans our group gets up to, you can imagine the buttfuck our characters have suffered.
Here is what you've missed so far:
The group has been assigned on a mission by the gods, the gates of hell are opening and that's no good. Therefore we must travel to the southern most plane in order to get the key to the gate of hell, then we must travel back to the northern most plane to ensure the gates remain closed. So far the group has killed a chieftan, met a Necromancer, killed him too, whose soul has now split up amongst the group members as curse marks. We encountered cultists of the goddess Dis (spelling? I'm not good with my Nordic gods) who just so happens wants to bone Captain Erevan, the creepy elf man who does not approve of your bullshit. Turns out she's wanted to bone him for a while and Erevan...well he hates the gods so he doesn't find this to be the best experience. After being locked away and forcing our sword-mage into performing lesbian sex in order to persuade a lesbian cultist to free us, or at least not kill us. Lucky for us, Dis wanted to fuck with her own followers and helped us escape to her tower so we could see her. There, we encountered Rose (a.k.a. Giggles) whom Jekyll (The Drow Assassin Nymphomaniac with a split personality) took a liking to her and from that moment swore he would take her wherever he went. Dis teleported us to the northern most plane where we got the key.
And Now Our Scheduled Story...
We awoke where we began the campaign, in the middle of a big field in our magical shack of magicness (given to us by the magical gods....magic) There we decided, seeing as we had the key it was time to head to the north. The next northern plane was The home of the dark elves. Jekyll, being a drow who can't remember much of his past is happy to go there. We decided the best...and worst place to go would be the tower of the Necromancer we killed..
On the way to the Necromancer's tower we encountered a ghost storm, full of spirits whom, if we called out to and asked a question, they would answer with a riddle. Jekyll called out to the Necromancer, in response he heard the Necromancer's laugh and his legs altered in appearance to that of a goats. Garth, the spanish artist formerly known as a bard (who had not died) decided to do the same, he grew horns. We then decided the best person to call out to the necromancer was Giggles, what we didn't expect (which is what happened) Was that giggles' stomach would explode, we would be covered in blood, and sitting before us would be a baby drow. Now the group at first thought that Jekyll had his way with her (now that may have been true, but we won't go into that.) The baby however upon further religious and arcana checks had traces of all of us and was neither male, or female. This lead us to suspect that it may be a god. Jekyll then decided to call out to spirits of drow to find out a way to their realm. The person to respond was the soul of his alter ego, Hyde. Who simply told him, the only way was through death.
We discovered later in the session this was partly true, in order to get to the drow realm, we had to get a magical drow blade, and stab ourselves in the heart, we would then be transported to the drow realms. So we entered the necromancer's tower in search of the magic dagger hoping he would have it, he did but boy did it take a while to get to it. Our curses began to affect us more and more physically and we soon realized if we stayed here too long, they would most likely cause us to become complete monsters. After thorough searching, gathering a key and finding a magical bookshelf that was a hidden door. Jekyll went through every book on the shelf to find that within each book there was a key. After finding the right book, he placed the key into the book and the secret door opened. The group grabbed what treasures they could and booked it from the tower. Luckily one of the treasures we grabbed was the drow blade.
We all stabbed ourselves in the heart, the baby teleported with us with his/her/it's magical powers and we arrived in a dark forest, the realm of the drow. Jekyll's home. Upon his return to the place he had forgotten about he hears spirits whisper to him and his companions and they embark on an encounter. We fought away the tree spirits and all that remained were the kind spirits of the trees, whispering of "The return of the Prince" and embracing Jekyll and the group to hide them away from oncoming guards. The group tried to remain stealthy, but unfortunately we were unsuccessful. Jekyll, not wanting his friends to get killed, gives himself up to the guards, tells them his name is Hyde and they take him away to the palace, telling him he is a prince.
Jekyll discovers that he is a spirit that possessed the body of the prince after the prince had been slain in military combat (he had always thought it was Hyde who possessed him) and upon returning to the palace Hyde comes out and retakes his rightful place on the throne.
Meanwhile Garth takes one for the team as he uses the power of his curse to perceive for miles and miles and follow Jekyll through the darkness, he suffers greatly because of this, but he doesn't want to lose Jekyll to these drow.
When the rest of the group arrive at the palace they see dead drow everywhere, blood on the walls and a child hiding in a wardrobe. He tells the group that it is because of Jekyll/Hyde who the group find sitting in the throne room and all begins to emerge about Jekyll's true story.
Hyde was meant to be on the throne in the realm of the drow, his family however were fighting over the throne and not wanting him as Prince sent him away to the military in the hopes he would get killed, he did. Jekyll takes over Hyde's body, unknowing that he is the actual demon and lives his life unaware of what is truly going on. Upon his return to the dark elf realm. Hyde slays the drow, killing two of his sisters and one of his brothers, however more siblings remain who are not in the realm.
The baby pulls some weird magical shit, keeping Hyde at bay and turning Jekyll's curse mark into that of a crown Jekyll hears a warning in his head, The powers of Hyde can only be used five times, after that he will take over fully and take what is rightfully his.
The group head down to the basement of the palace where it just so happens a portal to the northern most plane lies. From here we must go to the gates of hell...and make sure that they remain closed
