MEPHISTO'S BROOD - FALSE NAME GIVEN FOR ENTRY

Essen finds nothing hidden.

Rats - Auto Crit. Resist most physical. All attacks against swarm have disadvantage. AC = 14. Rats are a female making herself into the swarm - Skar.

Rats swarm. Hit Dwayne, Gimblenock and Essen.
* Ophion casts Cloud of Daggers (3rd Level) in front of Dwayne.
* Essen casts Dispel Magic. Swarm is Spell Level 17. Advantage succeeds. Cohesion of swarm broken.
* Gimblenocks casts Dazzling Colours. 35 HP of rats go blind (1/7th of swarm).
* Gundark takes magic shield and moves to support Dwayne. 13 damage first attack. 9 damage second.
* Dwayne hits for 10. Sweeping Attack for 22.
* Cloud of Dagger for 15.

Ophion hears "Vault loves Ophion. Ophion loves Vault" Feeling of being embraced by a Giant Squid.
* Essen rolls INT.
* Ophion disperses another swarm with Firebolt and heads towards the tunnel.
* Essen casts Sunbeam. 38 damage. Two swarms dispersed.
* Gimblenock casts Firebolt. 17 damage. Follows Essen and Ophion through tunnel.
* Essen casts Spike Growth.
* Cloud of Daggers deals 11.

Skar cancels Swarm spell and backs away from party.

Party heads down into tunnel. Dim light. Flourescent algae.

Party finds a series of chambers. Three sarcophagi per chamber. The elite dead of the Dol Karta.
* Plundered by tomb raiders in the past.
* Gundark and Gimblenock see floating figure. Moving through a mirrored space. Notices G & G and vanishes. One of the Alin.

Party can hear Kord Moebius calling out about Tereshia. Same speil as last time.

Further down. Emerald green light.

Path with steps - two painted, transperent black children head down. Gundark smells treasure.

Party head toward emerald path. Notice secret doors that cannot be opened.
* Draconic text spiralling on the walls. Becomes glowing the further down.
* Dwayne notices a baby green dragon, which scurries away when noticed.

Gundark hears "What is the colour of the deep green?"

The illusion breaks away to reveal a huge cavern. Crystals hanging from the ceiling. Precious metals and treasures abound. A gargantuan Green Dragon. Vines and plants are growing.
* Gender discussion occurs and the dragon demands Essen step forward.
* Parent dragon is 80". Babies are about 3".
* Gimblenock takes eggs from upstairs and places them on the ground.
* Magic sigils floating in the air. An underground library.
* Tempus Viridi, the vizier to all green dragons in existence.
* Gimblenock upsets the dragon, wets himself and is now Frightened.
* An older green dragon becomes visible, swoops up the eggs and disappears.
* Tempus wants Reuben.

Kord Moebius rants about the "horror below us (Tempus Viridi)".

Party goes down some steps into a chamber containing an egg. Tempus says 'The Professor knows. This is the horror the Witches fear. It's older than the Alin."

Message for Gimblenock to send to Rueben -
"Professor Rueben. Ophion says you're a dick. Tempus Viridi needs you in Hollowseen. An egg against Tereshia. Warlocks are choosing. NOW! Your brother is alive."
* Rueben is not on this plane. Spread across all planes. In the Time Void.
* Holocene is Kunoh's birthright.

"I am not your puppeteer. That is someone else." - Tempus Viridi.

"Memorandum understood and understood. Inform Tempus Viridi, his will acquiesced. Implements successful. Respectfully await a tick-tock mind. Ophion. Questions."

Tempus Viridi touches Gundark on the head which switches places with Rueben.

Rueben walks toward Tempus Viridi and offers his respect and service. The dragon storms off and demands Rueben solve the puzzle of the egg.

The black children appear. The scenery breaks away to reveal the Milky Way again.
* What is an automoton? A grotesque machine imitating life
* What is a machine? Dead pieces act together to simulate work
* What is life? Many dead pieces working together grasping for the elan vital
* What is a witch? Many pieces simulating one
* What is a story? Half truths wrapped in lies simulating a truth
* Time past and time future

Introductions are made.

Everything goes dark except for a younger Mama Tet who appears, looking young and displaying more of her power. Talks in riddles about time. Talks about the Witches.

* Time present and time past
* Are present in time future,
* And time future is contained in time past.

* Bipeds
* Cannot bear reality.

* So we write
* Time past and time future
* What might have been and all what has been
* Point to one end, which is always present.

* Time past and time future
* One witch of too few pieces for the whole
* The simulcram
* One witch of far too many pieces for the whole
* The story

* Time future and time past
* Which witch is which?
One of the witches = Sim Arclight, the other = Toreja

Kord Moebius - "Rise Sim Arclight. The new Witch."

The egg reads "Vault loves Reuben. Vault loves Ophion. Vault loves everyone. Everyone love Vault. Vault saves all. All love Vault. All hail Vault."
Green tendrils seep from the egg.
- THE EGG IS VAULT.

Discussing ways to shift the Valt Egg into the Time Void, when Rueben is replaced by Gundark.

Sim Arclight's voice booms through the caverns, everyone sees what it looks like. Commands the faithful warlocks of the Wraith Accord to descend and destroy the party.
