You are hopelessly behind! We almost have two, and my allies are already in Frostfell getting the third. Soon nothing will be able to stop the return of Tharizdun, Destroyer of the Multiverse. And now you will die.
Famous. Last. Words.
The Godsends, who had a score to settle with poor Harrk, went into the battle with spells and axes slinging, and even the fact that Harrk was joined by a beast of a Death Giant, did little to change the course of the battle. The two giants died, and the Godsends found a decent bag of residium (50k) and a magical key.
BC: Der er lagt 16.666 gp til side til dig.
The key turned out to be the one used to open the vault of the Astral Giants, bypassing the magical defenses that had taken down some of Harrk's drow companions.
Before heading into the vault (they didnt know it was a vault at this point), the Godsends decided to have a chat with one of the many Astral Giants they had found dead and tortured. Rolen broke out his Speak with Dead skills, and Eric coached him through the very difficult questions....
The Godsends learned that the Divine Engine piece was no longer on the island. Before getting captured/tortured/killed by the bad guys, they had unceremoniously sling-shotted the artifact into the Astral Sea. In order to retrieve it, one would have to be Avandra-lucky or have the vector. Unfortunately, no one knew anymore. Except the magical entity in their vault. But that entity would be protected by off-the-chart hardcore magical protections. Unless you were an Astral Giant.
Figuring they probably couldn't rez an Astral Giant, the Godsends took a loot at the defenses in the vault. And then Calos and Eric went to town with it, finally managing to unravel the defenses, although they drained almost everyone in the party completely of energy of the process, even coming very close to sucking Grum dry.
And then the guardians awoke. The Godsends soon realized that this might be their last fight. But through teamwork and a little blind luck, they managed to beat down the guardians, and they got access to the magical entity that could answer any question, but only once for every person.
Eric asked where the divine engine was (the piece that is) and got the vector and speed.
GrobKu asked whether someone had picked it up, or found it, and was told no.
Rolen asked who the traitor in the Godsends was/would be, and was told that the future is cloudy, but it would be either Calos or Hwygar.
Calos and Grum didn't ask anything.
After letting this sink in, they quickly went outside, hailed Captain Hadokz, and flew/sailed after the divine engine piece in the Astral Sea.
Sonday 19th Phebroar, year 1457
After a couple of days of high speed case, they caught up and got a hold of the Divine Engine piece. With that acquired, it was decided to head to Hestavar and find a way to get to the Frostfell in order to race the allies of Harrk, whomever or whatever they may be (lich? blue dragon? something else?)
