Storm King’s Thunder (2) Session 43 Recap

  • Our heroes walked into the throne room and saw 3 giants. A young looking female giant with a female giant on her left and a male on her right.
  • She introduced herself as Princess Serissa and asked  our heroes about their purpose here.
  • Our heroes explained what they had learned about her father, while the two giants next to her, especially the female one, tried to convince the princess that small folk were not to be trusted.
  • Antkeep had been reading the surface thoughts of the one giant and was worried she may try to do something. Warning the party, Faren started to question this giant.
  • Ivar had enough and grew large, provoking action from Iymrith, who turned towards the princess.
  • Our heroes did their best to protect the princess, pulling her away and using telekinesis to lift her up. Antkeep even turned herself and the princess invisible, and of course the other storm giant but that is much less relevant.
  • Iymrith had enough and revealed her true, an ancient blue dragon. Her lightning was so powerful it bypassed even Ivar and Befdor’s resistances.
  • Our heroes called for help and some additional Storm giants arrived, as Farren decided to cast wall of force around the dragon.
  • Iymrith laughed, then proceeded to teleport away.
  • Our heroes talked with the princess, who allowed Skarr to wander off. She also presented our heroes with some potions of giant size while her uncle went looking for a ship that may be wandering in the trackless see that may be where Hekaton was being kept.
  • Skarr found a library, and calling Antkeep over to translate they learned about 5 ancient dragons, Durixaviinox, Forzaantirilys (whose description sounded just like Klauth’s), Qazyldrath, Xaantikorijek (whos description matched Iymrith) and Yserthrax who had fought in the ancient dragon and giant war but never were reported to have died.
  • Serissa’s uncle, Uthor, came back a few hours later with information about the ship the heroes were looking for.
  • Our heroes managed to get some whales and an Apparatus of Kwalish and went to find the ship. Once they did they saw some frost giants swimming in the water with it.
  • Our heroes polymorphed into sperm whales and started to fight the giants, but Murph was also hitting and breaking apart the ship.
  • The humans onboard, as well as a mist creature, started to attack our heroes as well, but the majority of the humans died to some fireballs.
