D&D Season 2 Finale! (late)
11 years ago
We had our "Season 2 Finale" back at the end of May, and then took a break for a month or two, before having our "Season 3 Premiere" on Sunday. I'm gonna do two journals for it. Hard to believe we've been playing for two whole years, with some of the original cast still with us!

After the fight with the owlbears, the party took stock of their situation- they found the source of the Time Portal, but not how to open it! If the control panel only responds to doppelgangers, then what?
That's when we remembered- when we first arrived in this timeline, there was a preserved letter from Alice telling us how to find her... and included with it was a shriveled up doppelganger hand!
The party went home and did a better job saying goodbye to our friends, making sure we had everything we might need for wherever we end up next... we found the hand, and returned to the control room.
After making sure everyone was ready, we used the hand to activate the portal, which turned out to be right under us! Half the party fell in and the rest jumped in after them.
We found ourselves in a strange place- with metal walls and floors... a humming all around us... and a feeling of motion. (Turned out to be a spaceship, but none of our characters had ever been inside one before.) Suddenly doppelgangers appeared, with beam-weapons! Gruffydd magically spoke their language and told them to stand down if they were allies against the Mindflayers- but they attacked!
The battle raged across the ship (took two sessions!) and involved all kinds of dirty tricks- most notably the doppelgangers hiding and reappearing disguised as party members to confuse us and weaken our morale! Finally they all lay dead... but we didn't have much time left... rifts began to open within the ship, it shook and tilted, spiraling out of control, and the rifts kept getting wider and wider!
One of the gnomes got sucked into a burning time rift- followed by Weiss and Zane!! The ship began coming apart, shaking too violently for most of us to keep standing. The remaining time-gnomes willingly dove into the rift... Michael and Sam got dragged in as it expanded and grew more powerful... only Gruff, Ark, and Duke remained on the ship! Duke was off on his own and didn't know what was happening, and Gruffydd wouldn't leave him. But the ship seemed to be crashing, so Ark grabbed the halfling and dove through the rift - into whatever waited on the other side.
As the spaceship screamed towards the ground, Duke ran around looking for his friends or a way out- he didn't know for sure if they were alive, or if they died, or disappeared into the rifts... Walls started pulling apart, debris flying everywhere! Duke opened a door, and was greeted by one of the Mindflayer Masters! Laughing, it grabbed hold of him and phase-shifted out of existence...
The party (minus Duke and the gnomes) appeared in a large, open field. No signs of civilization were anywhere. As we took stock of our present and absent friends, a group of warriors rode up on horseback, led by a large female bear. Weiss's jaw dropped as she smiled and greeted him, "Hello again, brother!"
...somewhere else, in a dark cave... Duke lay unconscious and stripped naked against a pillar of stone, tied tightly to its surface so that he could not move when he awakened. "Now we are finally alone together, my pet." The Mindflayer laughed and approached as its tentacles reached for Duke's brain...

I swear two months of waiting was torture for me wondering what was going to happen to my poor defenseless Orc! D:
I am so happy we're back! Cletis says IF we play without you, it'll be okay since the scenes are still separate. When do you think you can play again?
