Session 03 - The Endless Wilds

The Party awakes in The Endless Wilds where they must treat with the termites of Kalva Kuras to earn the colony's aid in their return to The Tattered Reach.

Summary

The party awakes from a plane-hopping, ground-collision induced unconsciousness on the backs of cat-sized insectoids. Tar freaks the fuck out, causing the insectoids to surround her in a defensive position. Using the opportunity of the distraction, Sir Zedledev of Searing Truth flew to Kayzyxx the Unkneeling, pulling her out of the reach of the insectoids and into the branches of the massive trees around them.

For a tense moment, the termite-like creatures encircle Tar and climb the tree towards Kay and Zed, but as they do, a flying termite approaches wearing a sash that holds various pouches filled with reagants. They click at the party for a moment before consuming one of the reagants, allowing them to communicate. The flying termite--referring to itself as "this one" to not form an identity outside of the colony--informs the party that they are being transported to Kalva Kuras, a massive colony of Baneris Termites. As guests for now...

The party continues their march alongside the impossibly long line of Baneris Termites that stretches as far as the eye can see. After much time, the party arrives at Kalva Kuras where they are greeted by a human Corfyr Turfhart. Corfyr originally lived in a mysterious mundane plane known as [[Ilderterra]] though now stays with the Baneris Termites as an honoured guest. They told the party that--if they wish to have the colony's aid in returning to The Tattered Reach--they would be wise to seek an audience with Akra Rasedes. He suggested offering to aid in the metallic plague: an influx in animals augmented by metal who wield hard-light weaponry.

Over the course of 3 days the party rests in Kalva Kuras as they enchant weaponry, spar with the termites and each other, research the upcoming encounter with the metallic plague, and learn the recipe for the sludge vomit that passes as food in the colony. Also, they name the flying termite who met with them Vince. Before long, the queen Akra Rasedes invites the party for an audience where they make their case. Though the threat of being eaten on the spot hangs over them, The Party manages to convince Akra Rasedes to lend them some aid in being transported to a site of this incursion and to promise that--should they be successful--they will be flown to a rift back to The Tattered Reach.

With that settled, the party sets off on termite back, setting down outside a foggy riverbed. They maneuver through the area, staying vigilant for the creature they know to be in the area. At a sufficiently dramatic moment, the fog parts revealing... a mother fucking cyborg t-rex with mother fucking laser guns. Fucking metal. The party gets sufficiently beat to shit by the mother fucking cyborg t-rex with mother fucking laser guns, but eventually defeats it--in no small part thanks to the constant divine judgment of Sir Zedledev of Searing Truth.
