Session 28

Heroes: Sengar, Alandrovic, Aelarion, Bellamin.

The Heroes cross a veritable sea of worms, guarded by more disgusting minions of the evil god Kyuss, receiving more visions and insight into Kyuss' history after defeating them: it seems that upon his ascension to godhood, the dark god was almost immediately imprisoned in the monument that channelled his divine power. Only when the Age of Worms will come to pass will Kyuss return to lay waste to creation.

The last of the guardians of the ziggurat, Mak'ar the Harbinger of Worms, awaits the Heroes in his finely appointed chambers. The undead, alien creature seems disinterested in the Heroes, but realizes that they've still a part to play in the coming of Kyuss. Alas, when they decide to destroy him, he unleashes his necromantic powers on them. The Heroes emerge victorious, and receive a last vision: all the prophecies related to the Age of Worms have come to pass, save for two. It is now their duty to try and stop them from ever happening.

After this last vision, the monolith on top of the ziggurat comes crashing down on the obsidian ring. Whatever minions were left in Kuluth'mar make their way to the surrounding jungle. The Heroes lay waste to these low-lives, and then travel back to Magepoint thanks to Aelarion ritual of teleportation.

Session 27

Heroes: Sengar, Hesna, Bellamin, Alandrovic.

The Heroes defeat the corrupted guardians, but many more of Kyuss' minions try to stop them. As they delve deeper into the ancient tomb, they receive more visions of a still mortal Kyuss being "guided" to his ascension by a six-armed and alien-looking figure.

Session 26

Heroes: Aelarion, Sengar, Bellamin, Alandrovic, Hesna.

On their way to Magepoint, the Heroes are ambushed by a trio of bone devils, set on stealing from them the fragment of the Rod of Seven Parts they've aquired previously. The Heroes defeat the devils and proceed to destination.

In Magepoint, they're greeted by Manzorian's associates, and are provided with food and lodgings at the best inn in town. After a few days spent exploring the town, they're finally summoned by Manzorian.

The archmage greets them in his study together with the priest Agath. The two sages express their concern about the Age of Worms, revealing that several of the prophecies heralding this Apocalypse have already come to pass, and the threat is more real than ever.

He prompts the Heroes to travel to Kuluth-Mar, the city where Kyuss once ruled as a mortal, and then ascended to godhood. He hopes the Heroes will also find some traces of his old friend Balakarde, who was obsessed with the ancient city, and disappeared among its ruins.

The Heroes accept, and Manzorian teleports them to Kuluth-Mar. At the center of the ruined city stands a ziggurat, and clearly visible on top of it is the Spire of Long Shadows; the monuments are surrounded by a colossal ring of obsidian, placed there by ancient and powerful entities to contain the evil within.

When they enter the city, they experience a vision where they see a still mortal Kyuss ruling his city with an iron fist and the utter devotion of his subjects.

Inside the ziggurat, they are faced with horrific paintings and bas-reliefs of slaughter and undead, and meet the first guardians bound in this nightmare: Corrupted Angels from the Upper Planes, now awoken by the presence of the Heroes, and out for blood!
