The Set Up

Hunting high and low for Finnvarra’s impertinent children, Giselle encountered nine Chaosian riders. She had sex with all of them, at once, and they let her continue onward.1

Gregory had tea and chatted with Leviathan. Gregory’s eyes turned permanently black and voidy. Gregory discovered that he no longer had to sweat, pee, or shit. Everything went into him but nothing came out. Extrapolate on that at your peril.

Aedan had one final, heart-warming conversation with Deirdre in which she accused him of killing Corwin. He said that it didn’t count, as that wasn’t the real Corwin, just some Other Universe Corwin. Deirdre didn’t understand, which made sense once Aedan learned that her information had come from Tir na-Nog’th.

Raj spoke with Sunset the Witch some more. She was still confused. Raj convinced Searlas to use his Trump Sword to rescue people from the ruins of Rebma. They managed to save Rowena and a couple of her servants. The rest of Rebma was flushed down the bowl when Leviathan made his entrance. Bye-bye.

Magni surrounded the Keep of the Four Worlds with the largest army ever known throughout the Multiverse2. Magni left word with them that if he didn’t countermand the order, they were to attack the Keep at dawn. The army was to feint an attack through the Snow Realm, but their real force would come across the plains using firearms, artillery, and horribly bad body odor. They were to utterly destroy the Keep and everyone in it, as they well knew it was the home of Satan.

Gabriel skeeved and trumped Aedan. He asked to borrow Grayswandir. Aedan agreed to help him try to immolate Brand’s body and free Werewindle, which Brand had swallowed. However, Aedan refused to make the attempt on the Elemental Plane of Fire, because he would be at Gabriel’s mercy there. Ha! Fat chance, monkey-boy! So Gabriel teleported into the cave where once our intrepid heroes had rescued Benedict from himself. Gabriel discovered a small advance force of Magni’s army camped in the cave. Whoops. He ran willy-nilly back to the Keep.

The Beginning of the End

Magni and Raj got oiled up and wrestled. Then they showered together and ate breakfast.

Giselle found Mandor in the Courts somewhere. He spoke long and earnestly about his fervent wish that she marry Merlin while he simultaneously squeezed her ass lasciviously. Giselle told him about her quest to find Cian. Mandor squeezed some more. This turned her on, so she went to wait for Merlin to have sex with him.

Gregory had a long argument/discussion with Julian at the Hunting Lodge. They gave each other a big, loving, death-hug at the end. Julian died quickly. Gregory lasted a little while longer.3

Eventually, Gabriel and Aedan tried to carve Brand up on the plains out of sight of the Keep. It didn’t work. Brand’s voice warned them away. Gabriel explained his foolproof plan to kidnap Raj and, by holding a sword at his throat, convince Eve to give him some straight answers. Aedan pointed out that Magni had already tried that and it hadn’t worked. So Aedan summoned the Tower and she answered all of Gabriel’s questions.

Aedan went to the Breakfast Nook and set about deceiving Magni to get into the Keep of the Four Worlds. Aedan trumped Gregory and experienced first-hand the Ultimate Power of Suck, which wasn’t as fun as it sounds. Gregory came through to the Nook in a weakened state. Magni trumped directly to the Fount (note to Ameer: Magni drew a trump of the Fount about a year ago. We’ve used it before. Put that in your Security Measures Pipe and smoke it. Nyah.) and took Aedan and Gregory with him.

Giselle spoke with Merlin, probably sweet nothings and dirty talk. They undoubtedly had sex a few times, maybe more. She didn’t find Cian, but was she really trying? I mean, did she expect to find him under Merlin’s bed?

The Beginning of the End of the End

Gabriel burst into the Fount chamber to discover that Magni had a gun that worked there. Magni shot Gabriel and loosed an evil spell at him. Gabriel survived, but many of his soldiers didn’t. Aedan had powered up Grayswandir to Full Maximum, and he impaled Magni and dispersed his atoms across the multiverse. Gabriel recovered and launched a fireball at the trio. Gregory sucked it up.

There was a massive flash of lightning and the Tower appeared sheathed in electricity. Everyone wasn’t blinded. Gabriel trumped Gregory and experienced first-hand the Ultimate Power of Suck, which was even less fun the second time around. Gabriel collapsed into a coma. Meanwhile, Gregory trumped Deirdre through to the Fount. The Leviathan invaded her body and left Gregory to rot. Aedan embraced the Tower and was given a big kiss, a spine-puncturing hug, and his body was torn into four parts and flung about the room. Deirdriathan attacked the Tower. There was a big-ass battle.

Gregory, still lying—oops, I mean laying—in a corner, trumped Raj and pulled him through to the Fount. Raj listened to Gregory’s lies and decided to help. He pulled out the Old Horn of the Old Unicorn and stabbed the Tower, then stabbed Deirdriathan. The Tower was already winning, so Deirdriathan fell to the ground. Raj summoned Eve somehow, and she and the Tower began fighting another giant ass-hair fight.

Merlin’s spikard was acting oogy, which, considering where he was wearing it at the time, could have caused disastrous results, even for a shapeshifter. He and Giselle got dressed and followed the disturbance to the Fount. Giselle swiped Aedan’s spikard from where it had fallen and she and Merlin didn’t rescue Gregory. Instead, they left. Eve vanquished the Tower and wandered outside for a while. Big mistake.

The End of the End

Raj picked up Deirdre’s sword and rummaged through Gabriel. He took Gabriel’s mood ring, acne medication, and trump of Sunset. He picked up Magni’s vambraces as well. He put Gabriel’s body in the well of the Fount then used the pseudo-Jewel of Judgment to heal Gabriel. It didn’t work very well, so he trumped Sunset through and she told him that Gabriel’s brain was mostly gone. Somehow or other, Giselle, Searlas, and Flora appeared on the scene. Flora revealed that Gregory had offed Julian, so everyone refused to help him until the poison ran its course and Gregory died.4 Raj tried to trump Martin and failed. Giselle trumped Mandor and she and Merlin exited to Chaos. Eve trumped Raj and came through in a seriously weakened state. She was small, frail, and sat slumped against a wall doing nothing the rest of the game except hoping to get better.

Searlas and Raj took Sunset and Gregory’s body to Julian’s Hunting Lodge. It was in upheaval, so they grabbed Julian’s body and hightailed it back to the Keep. Sunset revealed that everything was moving, grooving, and shifting. Nobody went outside to look, so we don’t know exactly what was happening. However, Eve revealed that the Fourth Sister’s name was Shadow (First Three Sisters: Unicorn, Serpent, Abyss). She had awakened and all of the Multiverse was openly hostile to Eve5 and probably to those impertinent Amberites as well. The game ended with the survivors holed up in the Keep, unaware that Magni’s army (assuming they were still alive) was even then preparing to destroy the place. As the walls fell around them, they fought valiantly on.

Final PC Dispositions:

Raj: Doing fine. His avatar, Eve, seems to have won (Unless you believe the GM, who says otherwise).

Giselle: Having sex with Merlin. Other than that, she’s okay.

Magni: Scattered across the Multiverse and really, really dead.

Aedan: Scattered across the Fount room. At one with his Goddess. Beyond dead.

Gregory: Buried outside Julian’s Hunting Lodge in Arden. Dead.

Gabriel: Only brain dead (not too different than normal, really).
