Session 34 21/1/4709+ AR - Downfall



Tsadok's draw from the Harrow Deck of Many Things reveals that he is the true King of Korvosa, grandson of Queen Domina the Usurper and heir to the Arabasti line.

Vemi Tsadok Kaz and Naglatha ascend to the top of the Sunken Queen to face Ileosa in the floating Pool of Blood, accompanied by an enlarged Megrim, Laori Vaus, and summoned angels. Ileosa sends forth three dread wraiths, six simulucra of herself, her four elite erinyes, and six barbed devils from the pool before joining in herself, but her forces fall in droves, Naglatha's barbs downing many. Kaz is badly wounded by her adamantine dancing fan, but eventually Ileosa is overcome by the power of Serithtiel. Marie/Marius takes the Crown of Fangs and Tsadok smashes it with his hammer, as Serithtiel ends Ileosa's reign forever. The pool starts to form into the body of the great wyrm Kazavon, the sight stuns Laori. Vemi retreats, but Naglatha plunges Serithtiel into the forming dragon's skull and it explodes in a flash of blinding light. The pool scatters, falling dormant. Laori asks for the Fangs, but Naglatha gives her six seconds to leave, or die. She complies.

Back in Korvosa, Neolandus Kalepopolis has discovered Tsadok's lineage, the council of nobles unites to beseech him to take the throne and he accepts. Neolandus appoints Naglatha leader of the reformed Sable Company, and Naglatha seeks Wings of Flying for her wolf companion Megrim. Toff Ornelos, the sinister leader of the Acadamae, agrees to enchant wings of flying for Megrim, having recently acquired some left-over Horned Devil wings from the massacre in Castle Korvosa. Megrim looks like being one odd-looking bird...
She sends word east to Lastwall; the Church of Iomedae notifies her they are sending a party to recover the Fangs for safekeeping.
Tsadok, aware of the supposed Curse of the Crimson Throne - that no sitting monarch of Korvosa has sired progeny - determines to secure his lineage prior to his coronation. Marshall Cressida Croft graciously declines an offer to aid his efforts...
Kaz Anders prevails upon the new King Tsadok I Arabasti to appoint an elected Assembly of Commoners, bringing the long-sought-for democratic element to Korvosan governance.
Of Vemi Diaquani, Initiate of Zon-Kuthon, there is no sign.
