Session 35 - The Final Time Portal

The Dogs of War decided to attack the Foundry Tower to destroy the final time portal being used by the Adaranth to stay "above the web" and exist outside of time, eluding its enemies. They headed to the tower and attacked it. It was heavily guarded by undead modrons and modron-ified elves. The party unleashed Princess Ikombe and her heavy hollyphant troops to clear a path for them to the tower. Once inside the tower, the party fought a bitter fight with more of the Adaranth's forces to gain control of the portal, which they then dispelled.

As soon as the portal was destroyed, there was a great rushing noise and the party felt themselves rush through time. They found themselves atop the Foundry Tower, apparently at the same point in time as they had left the city to find Ir'mee al-Ma in the astral plane, but the city was massively changed. Brass tendrils and conduits wove through the entire city, surrounding buildings, running through the streets, and extending into the air. Tubes filled with bizarre colored fluids ran throughout the city and bizarre clockwork and mechanical devices were scattered everywhere. Some of the devices were clearly modron but some of them appeared to be of elvish and hellish construction. In the sky in the center of the city there was a massive floating sphere made of the same components. Connecting the sphere to the city below was a giant tower, more like a massive bundle of conduits, cables, and pipes, leading up into the sphere itself. In the streets, large numbers of bizarre and twisted figures had appeared, creatures cobbled together from elf, devil, and modron components. These creatures begin to band together and skirmishes began break out with the citizens of the city.
