After the Black Death

A week passes, with the group split up.

At the Ruins of the Temple of the Tree, Drago and Null scheme on which of Drago’s plundered gems to use to create TW devices. They finally decide on a Protection from Energy IPOD and a Infrared Visor which also shoots amplified Firebolts.

Valen sends out members of all three Claws to visit surrounding cities. They are to spread the faith of Dragonwright, in Kymnarkmar’s name. They are also to survey the destruction caused by the Black Death.

Valen then takes the three claw leaders and 7 other followers into the Behemoth, and they head back to Tolkeen. The TCDL has heard of the destruction caused by the Black death and holds an emergency meeting that night.

Valen speaks in front of the TCDL, who are Largely confused. The Noli offers his aide but is ignored.

“Earlier I stood here and tried to impart upon you the importance of following Kymnarkmar’s wisdom. The evil events set into motion by Styphanthal’s heretics threaten to undo the world from beneath you, yet you still sit stubborn and defiant.” *many shocked looks*

“The black death you see, is no alien sickness no, it is a curse, mystical in nature.”

“Only by purifying the Corruptor’s taint upon eleven can we be sure to stop this curse, this FOUL Black Death, unleashed upon us. You see, while you sit and play your paltry games of power grabbing and politicking, the REAL powers in the megaverse are moving behind the scenes to undo the lot of you! Styphanthal has not rested in his quest to dominate your lands, and his followers have a strong foothold here, now. They will try to slay the lot of you to satiate his hunger for death, if possible. I believe they have somehow corrupted the seal’s ability to focus energy, causing it to emit the Black Death.

Someone MUST go into the abyss and bring balance to eleven, or all will be lost. So sayeth Kymnarkmar the wise, and so it shall be!”

He then looks about to the mostly uncommitted crowd. Some people murmur to each other worriedly, but no-one steps forward or says anything, and people begin shuffling away embarrassed, as one does with someone who is rude or impolite. Valen gets a very frustrated look, and catches the Noli. The two start talking while Valen’s followers attempt to convert all the TCDL members to their “True” way of Dragonwright.

Valen begs the adventurers to fulfill their destinies and go to eleven.

He does not remember where exactly eleven is, though…

The members of TCDL once again scoff at Valen and his followers. Noone seems to belive he can truely protect against the Black Death (he can). A few people ask how to protect against it and are invited to come worship with Valen.
Cardinal states that the bounty on Pure Spring information has risen to 6Million, she has now been missing over a week.
At the Tolkeen Civil Defense League meeting Drago, Sparticus, Null, Valen and followers meet up with MAGE, Ronin and Dameon. Dameon looks very red-eyed, has scores of trackmarks and failed a save against nonleathal poison and is now diseased with Gonorrhea

While he doesn’t remember how he got them, Dameon also has tabs of Boing Go & Rush (2 melees to activate), Injectors of Crash (Active upon injection), and a bottle of “Happy Juice”. He has spent 20k on living large since he was last seen (p61 juicers))

The mercer estate is not in good repair, with the front lawn now a muddy mess of over 100 remaining orphans and refugees from earlier. Inside MAGE finaly disengages from his beloved Nymph and comes out to the noise from the Behemoth. Someone casts plant growth and brings the lawn back to health, making the many children happy who roll around in it with glee.
Drago sees a lady watching them with binoculars from across the street, teleports into her house and steals 20 Garnets worth of jewlery from her bedroom before teleporting them back and dumping them in Null’s lap.

The Nymph flitters around MAGE in the doorway to the estate, when suddenly another Faerie casts blinding flash on the group. After a brief scuffle where a cracked out Dameon tried to stab the Nymph with a syringe to free MAGE, Dameon lies comatose. He is badly charred from her call lightning which has disintegrated his body armor.

Seeing a chance to escape from Love, Mage Flees the estate with Ronin leaving the rest to heal Dameon. MAGE now seems oddly afraid to visit his own family estate…

At this point the group met up outside in a Jmart general outfitters store parking lot.

Hearing of Nulls plans, MAGE decides this group needs a vehicle, and selflessly purchases a Electric Moutaineer to hold them as well as new suit of body armor for Dameon.

Drago takes the Impervious to Energy IPOD and Null leaves with his Robot Vehicle to go to a trade show.

Ronin has a mage he found in the parking lot cast locate to find Kid, unsuccessful. Ronan is very disgruntled about this because Kid has frozen the group’s blackmartet accounts worth an estimated ~10mil due to their failing to kill a man Kid ordered whacked (Ronin saved the man).

The characters decide to visit Madtown in their search for the missing Pure Spring. They pay Bender to start camouflaging the Wartrolls outside town. Ronan and Drago astraly project and start flying around the town looking for her. They notice a very scared looking Weaver duck into a bar followed by two thugs but no girl. The group finds Weaver in the bar. Mage takes him to the bathroom and mystic portals him into the back of their Mountaineer. Drago takes Weavers form and teleports outside. The men attack him. Drago is chased to hide behind the Madtown fountain while being peppered with the railguns two hidden Thug controlled Dynamax’s use. MAGE magic nets the bots who then start firing wilding, blowing up cars and starting a massive fire. Sparticus battles a Thug who flees after seeing the bots netted. Ronan chops one thug in half and finds some money and 2 particle beam pistols with long Eclips.

The group flees before the Madtown police come to investigate the destruction.
