Session 26 - Shattered

So! The last session for a month. Time will keep pace with real time while I'm away since I'm sure your guys need a rest after all that non-stop adventuring by now. A month is a long time! So if you want, let me know what your character is doing in the downtime.

Rune dungeon boss has been defeated so now runes are available to be used and abused outside of the dungeon. How many people know about this? How much profit can you make before your secrets spread? Who knows! Well me, obviously, but only up to a point.

So the rune dungeon boss was this giant crystal which they battered with lasers shot from laser platforms until it exploded. In the meantime they were attacked by endlessly respawning hordes of clay men and the crystal itself kept creating glyphs to blast them with.

The crystal released a flurry of honest-to-god dragons when it was shattered, growing bigger and bigger as they blasted out of the roof and out of the mountain. There are five of them in various colours and they are doubtless up to nefarious activities out in the world.

I return at the end of October at which point we'll be switching to Tuesday so Liisa can come without having to abandon her saxophone lessons.

Looking ahead that meeeeeans... next session will be on Tuesday 28th October.

Not sure what you'll do in the meantime. If someone wants to start up their own campaign or some one-shots or something feel free, otherwise I'll only be gone 4 weeks it'll go past like a breeze!
