It seems the demons found out whats going on, you’ve also recently learned that Abalam has a few books with him even outside of his library. It turns out he kept a book of every high prophet with him just in case. In response to learning of Lin Sun’s plans, they have mobilized to remove him from Sthan Thi, opting to strike first rather then try to outposition.
The Aetas have already been denounced as being in league with the rest of the world by Amaterasu, turning the city against them. Though during the chaos that ensued their escape the city hadn’t yet united in opinion against the once popular temple, buying them time to escape with the help of Con Lai’s temple and the wily Jin Zhang and Freyja.
The doors were closed after the Aetas escaped, but in response the demon’s also attacked the temple of the Vua Cai. As it turns out Abalam also know’s the plans of Machera, however that turned out to be far less simple. Machera was last seen standing just outside the city on the road in a ‘come at me bro’ pose. Senshi left the corpses of nergal’s assassins along its outer walls. The city remains safe for now, sheltering the remaining vikings who would have been targeted for Freyja’s helping the Aetas otherwise.
Conveniently, all of Sthan Thi’s weapons had been appropriated for the battle with the paladins, their troops were in disarray after having to deal with squeezing through the door twice. The bigger demons were also prepped for war with the paladins, and for once in his life Nergal jumped the gun and screwed up, resulting in a kill count of 0 somehow. That was rather…lucky. Zaeed got Milenkosi drunk while he was at it too.
Most of the Thykenians returned to their land upon hearing of all this crap going on, at this stage they just want to duck out of the way of anymore trouble. Those that remained joined the Vua Cai after being brainwashed by dreams for so long. The dust has yet to really settle.
All other actions got sort of offed by the very sudden need to deal with this.
Too much shit to turn into stories of lore:
Anna Von Goethe replaced Johann Von Goethe by way of brutally murdering her two competitors. Dracula approved.
Kharis recovered, Song Fang still missing.
Eli’s Pirates killed Athalia and took her weapons. In attempting to attack Naomi and take over her weapons Eleazor noticed and retook control over them for her using rackham’s own power and copying the titus effect. Turns out when Eleazor can copy the cheap tactics of his opponent he is outright more skilled then Rackham. However, he was defeated by the rest of the pirate gang long enough for them to retreat before Naomi could kill them all in a fit of rage.
Pirates pursued by demons shortly afterward, they fled to the high seas once again.
Dracula and Anna currently in dream realm along with the aetas and Zaeed’s crew.
Kagayakashi done movethed. Its a slow process achieving speeds of a whole 2MPH, but its a fucking city.
Much of the population from Doi Cho Len is currently within the valleys between the mountains along with the vampires still.
Con Lai with the help of Milenkosi discovered the dream denizens, the naturally occurring population within the realm. They’re all weird as shit and don’t really seem to understand the concept of war. They busy themselves with maintaining the dream realm and its visitors, if Milenkosi is king there are 11 denizens below him that make up ruling masters of various territories of the dream realm. They are called the Sleeping Lords, and according to Milenkosi they are respectfully powerful. Out of curiosity, one has broken its habitual tending to the realm to come see what this Con Lai thing is all about.
While it did not originally have a name, nor understand the purpose of one, Milenkosi has given it the name Saba Kuu to make things easier for everyone. While Saba is clearly intelligent, very much so, they do not really understand many concepts we’d consider very basic. Such as names, war, possessions, and nations. Though they do always seem to know a few things we don’t. Milenkosi explains that the dream denizens tend to be very isolated from the world you are used to, which is why Baridi is so curious and outgoing. Saba seems to share the curiosity, but with a more detached composure. In the physical world, Saba’s powers are not well understood or consistent.
Given the suddenly, and dramatically, decreased team roster, I thought we’d throw her in. Sabriya is the high prophet of Zaeed, god of luck. Zaeed chose her by visiting a tavern in Shahira. He saw a beautiful woman he just had to flirt with, so he walked up to hit on her, only to discover she couldn’t hear or speak to him in his godlike state. So he made her his high prophet so she could hear him hitting on her.
Weirdly enough, turns out she is like Jin Zhang in the sense that despite her behavior her powers allow her to cheat the fact that she should suck at everything with her lifestyle. Blessed by the powers of Zaeed, everything seems to work out alright for her quite often.
