Continued immediately on from July's game:
The enemy stands before us, it is am avatar of Mephistopheles. He is easily 8 foot tall, and is brandishing a couple of Japanese long swords.
Ruben sneaks away and puts his journal down in the light spilling out of the doorway. Nothing seems to happen.
Ophion is lying on the ground, exhausted.
Mephistopheles attacks Nandi, shooting rays of ice at her.
The party attacks Mephistopheles. We try to banish him, but it fails. We hurt him a little. He casts ice spells, eventually creating an ice wall splitting the group in half.
Ophion gathers his strength and stands. He takes Nandi's hand and makes to leave. Mephistopheles tries to win Ophion over (telepathically) but Ophion stands firm.
The avatar of Mephistopheles disappears into blue light, which bounces around everywhere, as huge glowing orbs.
The kids and the dholes all reappear. The kids concentrate the energy into a single ball which Nandi blinks away.
Nandi thanks us for saving us. She explains he is trying to circumvent his own demise. The places are drifting further apart and he doesn't want to go the way of the others, he thought he would 'hitch a ride' on the new divine spark.
Nandi explains she and the other children are the guardians of the gate. The gods can't come here. Mephistopheles was only able to because he was linked to Ophion. It becomes clear to us at this point that we have all been manipulated into thinking the Leopard Orchids were the bad guys in order to get Mephistopheles to this place of power.
We learn that the gods have divine spark - radial energy that moves through The Spaces, and accumulates at the edge of the Great Beyond. This Lifelight (one of the Spaces) has awareness and cannot be controlled, only coerced and with difficulty. It produces new divine sparks, each round different to before. It is anathema to the outer plains beings (such as the modern day gods).
We learn that the gods and the planes are not eternal. Gods rise and fall with and as the planes do. The more they ascend, the lighter they get, so it becomes harder for them to descend.
The power behind the Elder Gods makes them last longer than the new modern gods who come and go sooner.
