DND Tiefling Future

Previously on Tiefling Future....
The group went in search of a falling star, as they were told by the emperor of Romanus, Alexander. that a prophecy stated Adventurers would arrive on the day after the star fell. The group retrieved the falling star but it took them to the future, a future filled with tieflings, where humans are slaves. Eladrins have become drows and the gods are claimed to have been killed by Mephistopheles. The group however do not believe it as the star they hold has divine power and is somehow linked to the gods.Their assumptions were right as they discovered the gods have been locked away in separate places by Mephistopheles  The group went to the feywild, where it had been taken over by the drow. They discovered the drow had been trying to resurrect Lolth. The group made a deal with the drow, they would help resurrect Lolth is the drow aided them against Mephistopheles, the drow agreed and allowed the group to exit the feywild and were teleported to the tower where Corellon was held hostage. The group freed Corellon and decided to make it their goal to save the gods!

So on Saturday's session the group continued their search for the gods, decided Bahamut would be the next best choice. They returned to the drow with Corellon and convinced the drow to work with them in order to kill Mephistopheles. The drow agreed and as a token of good will offered the drow slayer, Ryltar (played by Kurt) as a new companion. Ryltar was more than happy...to save Lolth and couldn't see why bahamut was their first priority, nonetheless he decided to go along with the group and followed the star's directions to where Bahamut was being kept, petrified as a statue.

Needless to say Beholder's were in the cave. The group encountered beholder zombies upon entering the cave. They dispatched of them mainly with radiant attacks (with them being zombies common sense told them radiant=bad) Those who couldn't deal radiant looked to deal the most damage they could, because let's face it. You don't want zombies putting a damper on your day.

The group continued to venture, encountering creatures o f a wide variety, stench ghouls which they...din't want anything to do with. Ant swarms which they....didn't want anything to do with (The group likes to walk away from swarm encounters if possible. Anyone who has fought or uses swarms in encounters will now why (They're an absolute bitch to fight)

Along their travels in the cave, the group were wise to traps both arcane and mechanical kinds, coming across treasure! Korgul, the orc, being stupid and having no inkling of common sense did not realise the treasure was a trap and luckily managed to dodge a fireball, Styx the paladin however was not so lucky and was angered by Korgul...a hint at what was to come later in the night.

The group head to the end of the cave were two statues of Bahamut stood, one fake, one encasing the real Bahamut, and waiting in front of them was a group of Tieflings lead by a Tiefling named Charon, a man the group had met once they traveled to the future and had let him go due to their confusion at the time. Realizing they probably should have killed him when they first met him they looked to rectify that in a battle. The tieflings Charon had brought with him protected him to the death and Charon being the Tiefling he is, annoyed the group into further attack by turning invisable and teleporting away to hide from them. Leaving them no choice but to attack the other Tieflings when it was very obvious they wanted Charon out of the way ASAP.

The highlight of the battle was near the end, Styx the Paladin and Charon had been duking it out, were both bloodied and were both wanting to make sure the other was dead. Styx brought Charon down to 1 HP. The end was in sight and Styx wanted the glory! This was his moment to shine! Kill Charon! For the gods! However Korgul, the fiendish Rogue he was, decided to knock the Tiefling out, stealing Styx's thunder. needless to say Styx was not happy and indeed punished Korgul for such transgression.

The session ended with the group questioning Charon about the other gods and rescuing Bahamut from his petrification. Charon revealed to them the locations of the gods they wanted to know about. Pelor was prisoner in the Underdark, holding him in the one place known that he'd hate the most, so far down even magical light could not eradicate the darkness. Lolth was trapped under rocks in a mountain, Tiamat Bahamut's sister was stuck in a constant state of fighting against other dragons, including a tarrasque. Kord was enslaved, chained and whipped by the people who had captured him.

The group didn't want the drow angry at them. The drow had kept their end of the bargain and the group knew if it wasn't re payed they'd have another enemy on their hands, plus the new Drow slayer insisted that Lolth be the god they save. So the group heads out to seek and save Lolth in the frostclaw mountains...
