Previous Session: 19 Woodborn Must Be Punished
After Princess Morgiah is married to the King of Firsthold, Leanne is approached by Lady Brisienna Magnessen. We confirm with her that we need to go to Daggerfall, retrieve the Totem of Tiber Septem and take it back to the Emperor (...yeah, we're totally going to do that).
We hop aboard our boat, Casts does some squats, and then we continue on our way.
Mannamarco appears before Terfir Lif and in a long winded manner asks for the Totem of Tiber Septim.
Likewise, Casts-No-Shadow hears from the Underking who asks that his heart be returned to him along with the totem.
We take our rest here.
When we arrive in Daggerfall, a not-courier (he was clothed) comes up to Kihrazad and hands over a letter from Prince Lhotun which offers 6000 gold in exchange for the Totem.
Basically everyone and everything is letting us know that they'd like the totem and we should please hand it over to them.
We make preparations to break into the castle.
Kihra and Casts are going to do the usual thing and sneak into the castle, while Terfir and Leanne are going to steal some uniforms to get in under the guise of "guards"
Challenge
Steal some Clothes (Sneak) Casts: Success Kihra: Success (-1 Stamina)
In their uniforms, the ladies need to make a check to convince the other guards that they're there.
Challenge
Convince the guards that they're supposed to be here. (Speech) Terfir: Success!
Meanwhile, Casts and Kihra are sneaking through the castle
Challenge
Sneak Casts: Success -2 health Kihra: Success
We make it to the vault, and we start searching the room. Casts is looking for the totem:
Challenge
Perception Casts: Success -1 health, -5 magicka
We eventually find a small wooden box, that's behind a magical cage. We're going to need Leanne's help.
After some trials and tribulations we manage to get Leanne back to the vault so that she can dispel the cage.
Challenge
Alteration Leanne: Success! -2 magicka.
Casts need to pick up the Totem and hears a voice in his head:
You are my new bearer, but you are not worthy. Find someone who is worthy of me within a year and a day, otherwise I will be gone forever.
Casts decides to get the heck out of there, so he uses his Shadow sign power to get out of the building without any trouble.
The others decide to try and sneak out, but are unable to do so and get in a fight with the guards (which includes Terfir coming along).
Fight
Guards! 1. Terfir roasts one of the guards with Destruction. 2. Kihra slashes with her claws 3. Leanne summons a spirit bear that kills the last guard.
However, now the castle is on alert and more guards on the way.
Challenge
Book it! Athletics: Everyone succeeds
We all make it back to the ship, and book it out into the bay and we discuss.
We decide that we should find the heart first, and then decide what to do with this.
While doing this, Casts has a vision of Nulfaga who is now less crazy, and she tells us to go visit her.
We get to meet Nulfaga as well as Medora, and they inform us that the Numidium is in Aetheris and that we'll need to go there. We ask some questions and then head there!
We find a large crossbow that we can all get on, which we do (Athletics
all around). The crossbow launches us into a room, with a door.
Behind the door is a room filled with lava, and a set of stairs leading across.
We cross the Lava, and are greeted by.... Sheogorath!!! He invites us to have tea, and we're turned into sweetrolls (which Leanne breaks the curse on).
After this, we ascend to another area where we're greeted by a Golden Saint who we have to fight.
We're successful, and claim the Numidium.
We decide to give the Totem and the Heart to The Underking. This turns him back into a person, briefly, and is consumed by flames.
We end out the game by taking over his network and collectively become the new Underking.
