SAGA Log 1441: Force Green v. Angel of Death




In Waterdeep: Pylia, her bro, Drizmar, Blue, & Blood said goodbye to Relgar, Cookie, and Billy. The team discussed what to do next, with Blue concerned about Mercy’s widow and her role in things. They passed by the statues built in their honor (as Force Green), depicting the battle against Iymrith. Blue defaced the plaque with their last name, bribed a guard, and suggested they go to a gnome cleric.

They paid for a true resurrection and brought Mercy back to life. They spoke about family issues. Drizmar made a comment about raising an octopus from the sea and a guy on a white horse in a death mask rode up; Blue asked the man if he was associated with the kraken who lived near the Purple Rocks. The man wrote that down and rode away.

They teleported Pylia’s bro to his hunting lodge. The group went to have dinner with Pylia’s brother’s girl friend Ivanja and noticed she had a Malcanthet symbol tattooed on her body. Blue detected an undead spirit in the next room. Blood destroyed it. They returned to the dinner and argued with Ivanja about her Malcanthet tattoo.

Pylia used dispel magic to get rid of her bro’s tattoo and Blood used her cleric magic to cure him of the lycanthropy. They went inside and argued with Ivanja again (as she talked about a future marriage and babies, after Pylia and Blue warned Pylia’s bro about not trusting people when he returns to the family keep).

Blood planeshifted herself, Pylia, Drizmar, and Blue to the Feywild. While Mercy went to speak with his wife (the half-elf from Veluna), Fluter came down and spoke with the rest of them. Mercy and his wife joined. They spoke about family issues and the drow mining profits. The group went to the centaurs and gnomes at the magical forge, where Blue asked them to use the skull of Iymrith to make a magic throne (all bone). They rested for the night and, in the morning, Mercy’s wife had a circlet for Pylia and sending stones for Blue. Blue gave Mercy one of the stones after discussing them with Fluter.

The Force Green “Core Four” (Pylia, Drizmar, Blue, & Blood) planeshifted back to Toril, to Baldur’s Gate. They spoke with guards, the prosecutor (who was in charge of the trial of their air genasi cousin Therlian II “the monster”), the gnome defense attorney, their cousin (with telepathy), the “Angel of Death” lady who was in charge of the judge panel, etc. The group found the alchemist who messed up their cousin, captured him, and teleported him back to the defense attorney. 

Lunch. Evidentiary hearing. Questioning of the witness with the other 2 judges from the panel (not the Angel of Death - who went to “question” Therlian II, but was stopped by Pylia and Drizmar). The alchemist admitted everything, thinking he would go free since technically he didn’t kill anyone. The evidence was enough to free their cousin, but they needed to shield his mind so he couldn’t be controlled by the alchemist.

After Therlian II was released, they put a humanity ring on him and went to the elf wizard’s tower, prayed to Ehlonna, and got Therlian II’s body restored. He said the people who killed the other genasi cousins were part of a cult that rode white horses and wore skull masks.

They decided they wanted to hire bards to spread good propaganda about their family. They went to a noble tavern and hired a band of bards to tell the story of the alchemist (how he is the real bad guy and Therlian II was a victim); the bards agreed to perform for 2 weeks for 100 gp. They went to a second tavern and hired a second band of bards to do the same thing.

They spent the night at the elf wizard’s tower. Next time they expect to be attacked by the “Angel of Death” on her giant basilisk mount, with her empyrean lover...
