Bogul's Bruisers Session #33
Blood for Blood
09/09/2023
The Bruisers accompanied Omnia to the Noxious Falls, a place of putrid smells and toxic water, in search of creatures who could heal the Consulate
Along the way, Omnia asked why the group was in this part of Vault, and Samoht asked Omnia for her help concerning the assault they were planning on Demon's Hollow
Omnia agreed to give them a plan if they helped her get what she needed from Noxious Falls
Upon reaching the falls, the group searched for an entrance, eventually discovering that they must ingest the water and vomit it back up in order to gain entry to the faefolk's realm within the rocks behind the falls
Inside, the Bruisers found a bustling magical place with element of both the feywild and the shadowfell, feeling like both and neither all at once
After taking some time to get to know the playful and yet dire locals, they found the leader, Morganna Bry and Fenn, who asked why they'd come
Omnia had a quick chat with Morganna and discovered she'd need the archfey's blood in order to heal the Consulate. She informed the group they should attack and kill Morganna at once
The Bruisers soon saw their old friend Tulwar, shackled and serving drinks in the court of Morganna, however, and upon talking to him discovered he was hiding from Titania, the Summer Queen of the Feywild. Apparently Morganna's realm was hidden from Titania, which meant Tulwar could remain safe here with the firearm he'd stolen from the Summer Court
The group decided not to attack, in order to keep Tulwar's cover intact, and negotiated instead. To help Tulwar, and get rid of an enemy of Morganna, the group struck a deal for "some of your blood for all of Titania's blood." The deal was struck
Morganna was bled to within an inch of her life and the blood placed in a wine cask
The group took the blood back to the Ropeway and the Consulate made a full recovery
Omnia laid out a plan for the Bruisers: once Castle Avernus was completed, the Dread Lord Azalin would likely teleport straight into it, taking up his seat of power, where he would become difficult to defeat. Omnia suggested finishing the tower, influencing where it would be placed, and then interrupted the teleport spell to redirect it to a place of their choosing.
The only way to do this, Omnia explained, was through the intervention of an incredibly powerful weilder of disorder. She gave the Bruisers the location of a close, personal contact of hers, Visuvius, Creation God of Disorder, located in the south-western Phantom Plains, and then she and her group left for their "date with a devil."
