Godsgrave Session 10 Recap

The new gods set out to confront the god of death, who was on the edge of a small village in a mountain valley built around an ancient monastery where nobody would stay dead. The new gods teleported to the edge of the monastery and interviewed a death addict before meeting up with the village elder and discussing issues of the village and the god of death over wasabi tea.

The elder negotiated rescue for those who wished to leave, as the village was entirely surrounded by the mist. The gods began ferrying people through the faerie rings, back to Sorefoot Sanctuary.

In return she told them that the god of death had asked her to pass on that he wished to talk to the new gods.

They travelled to the rice paddies that the god of death was tending, and spoke with him. He confirmed their theories, explaining that the fog was created by the remnants of souls harvested by his new scythe. So much of the soul was taken and given to Orolt, the king of the gods, that all that was left was shreds of memories, accompanied by a strong desire to live, feel, or be whole again. Mortals in the fog died as tiny candles, snuffed by an ocean that desired to feel warmth. Gods survived, but as fractured, mad things.

The God of Death warned them that when he died, his scythe may turn on them, and quickly ceded his mantle to Esmerelda, dissolving into a star of Darkness. Esmerelda instantlty absorbed the star and became The Pyschopomp.

The scythe instantly cracked and fractured, leaving a whole in reality in the form of an enourmous cruel insect. Undead burst from the ground in droves, and the scythe would also reach into the fog, launched spears of the soulmist at the gods.

The gods prevailed, and returned home to plot their war with the king of the gods.
