Recent Adventures
The Land of the Lost (Session 28): The party
reunited with a restored Lenti and the Dodds before Böðvarr Bjarki
exchanged legendary blades with Korloth and departed, after which Enik
revealed a sweeping cosmic history involving Abraxus, the Afanc, the
extinction of the Saurials, and the creation of Ryūjin, whose soul
remained trapped in an eternal dream. After confessing to slaughtering
his own kin to harvest their souls, Enik sent Akemi alone into
Ryūjin’s subconscious while the others journeyed to a distant Pylon,
surviving a brutal Krugel Orc ambush. Reaching Obojima, the group
navigated spirit‑world customs: Dodd earned adulthood through a
riddle, Bao Bao gained the Avatar of the Panda, and Cut‑Cut trained
with an ancient Mantis Spirit who revealed the Daimyo Ōmukade’s
weakness—human saliva. Cut‑Cut defeated the Daimyo with Bao Bao’s
covert healing, earning his aid against Ryūjin. In the ensuing
two‑plane battle, the GOATs crippled the Titan’s agility until he was
fully paralyzed, just as Akemi returned with his awakened soul; they
sealed Ryūjin within the Anubis Box alongside the freed Sleestak
spirits. As the dust settled, the Daimyo vanished without explanation,
and Enik finally tended to the wounded as the adventure drew to a
close.

The Unexpected Nightmare (Session 29): After
defeating Ryūjin and witnessing Daimyo Ōmukade vanish, the Feinting
GOATs descended to find Obojima inexplicably abandoned, prompting a
retreat to Enik’s cave—where his lecture on Mysterra’s dream‑bound
cosmology dissolved into a psychic collapse that plunged them into the
Coil, the world’s subconscious. There they crossed a wasteland of ash,
met Marinka the Silver Maiden—guardian of the chained Titan of Fear,
Thaegrymn and, guided by her, solved an Azcan Logic Gate to reach the
Petrified Horizon, where each hero confronted a personalized nightmare
and shattered the Titan through raw will, ingenuity, and defiance. As
the dream unraveled, Marinka urged them awake, and the party returned
to the cave as Thaegrymn was drawn into the Anubis Box, along with
Marinka herself, slipping away in the chaos.

The Underworld (Session 30): The Feinting GOATs
arrived in the Bronze‑Age city of Nimmur, where the stone‑skinned King
Gilgamesh refused to help them fight the magma‑titan Khumbaba unless
they could restore his fallen brother‑in‑arms, Enkidu. Seizing on this
grief, the party descended through the Tomb of Forgotten Soldiers into
the Underworld, bypassing cursed relics and solving ancient Nergali
puzzle‑doors, only to discover that Hades (not Nergal or Anubis) now
ruled the realm and allowed no souls to leave. After learning from a
frantic assistant of Hephaestus that the only escape was to overthrow
the ruler himself, they confronted Hades in a mythic battle,
shattering his divine wards with Adrian’s God‑Killer Gun and erasing
him from existence. Elyndra’s impulsive attempt to claim the throne
annihilated her mortal body, prompting Hephaestus to offer Immortal
Barding in exchange for protection; Loarkin accepted, endured the
ascension, and became the new God of the Underworld. He summoned
Enkidu’s spirit, who chose not to return but instead granted his
primal essence to Korloth. With a divine send‑off and a triumphant
return to Nimmur (Elyndra restored but forever changed) Gilgamesh
opened the way to Khumbaba’s volcanic lair, where the GOATs, empowered
and battle‑hardened, slew the Titan and sealed his essence in the
Anubis Box, closing another chapter of their increasingly god‑shaking
saga.
