Venenum is sacrificed as part of a dark ritual to their patron however they don't die and wake up on Exilis's shores.

Waking up on a shore of fine pale sand our party from all different walks of life and time have been pulled together by forces beyond their comprehension. All of them groggy like a night of heavy drinking was interrupted by a babbling goblin band.

Robert, the Cleric was first to rise, a Human man in his early thirties, His face stained with tragedy, tired eyes, unkept beared and hair, brown as like a tree's bark with just as brown eyes, Dressed in Coroner's attire, a Coroner who does not care about being one any longer. pulling up to his knees to have a look around, though as things came into focus he felt his stomach turn as the previous nights drink came back up in a broil of bile and fermenting yeast. Heaving over on all fours as his body expunged the poisons used to drown his sorrows.

The heaving sound helped bring the rest back into the waking world. Zonatar, a Half-Orc barbarian, as tall as an ox and built as a barn with short wild black hair dressed in sturdy tribal attire mean for long travel or wilderness exploration. She came over to Robert to offer aid. a complexation of pale turquoise and yellow eyes. her strong hands and bare feet show signs of someone working on the land.

On alert as soon as they came too, a rare DragonBorn with wings and tail, Far larger and more draconic that your typical DragonBorn. A Dragon Knight, not so common today. A Ranger it seemed armed with multiple weapons. His White scales decorated with blue edges dressed as a warrior but coated in a signina unfamiliar to the rest of the party, holding no relation to any faction of the other eras. He seems nervous. despite his intimidating appearance it seems the current situation is far outside his comfort. he seems to be struck by confusion as speaks with a small true dragon, not paying much attention to the others.

Bursting out of a pile of sand, “Venenum Amicis in your presence.” he proudly, or smugly announces out loud.

upon the shores once again.

Zonatar and Delta fight.

Portal is opened.

So, this is it? Our Heroes have finished this story of twisted fates and impossible odds, but it lets recap one last time.

Our Heroes made it to the sealing shore, the space between the abyss and the mortal realm, something created by the Old Gods existence to keep thy Nameless contained.
There in the place of Dull white sand, a great deep black abyssal lake in place of the sky and grey murky lapping water washing up lost memories on the shore they found where they had started and where it would all end.

Captain Delta and Professor Stem stood at the edge of a lonely old dock as Stem prepared to open the portal back to the mortal world using the seals Delta had collected. the party confront Delta but non-more than Zonatar who has lost all she cared about due to Delta's actions. with nothing left to lose Zonatar attempted to attacked Delta without quarter.

Delta managed to push Zonatar's rage with her own, Delta knew exactly how unfair and how much hurt she had caused her crew especially Zonatar and so offered a honourable one on one fight, Either Zonatar will burn her rage out on Delta's death or she will be cut down.
“I Have family of my own Zonatar, I choose them over you, and as horrible as it is if I had to do it again I would. I will not die so close Zonatar but I know nothing else will satisfy you.”

Zonatar drawing her mighty war hammer as she raged and roared. “You took EVERYTHING from me! your excuses mean nothing, you will pay for what you have done to us, done to me. If I had never gotten on that boat maybe I would have a chance to see my wife once again. BUT BECAUSE OF YOU THAT CHANCE HAS VANISHED”

Johm and Robert distanced themselves from the battle that was about to take place, Robert also very angry at Delta for deceiving them however her actions had lead him to exact revenge on his scum of a brother, Johm had no Quarrel with Delta's actions feeling it was necessary and if he was in Delta's position he would have done the same.

Delta called off Remington and dismissed the Harvester as she sheathed one of her swords.

Zonatar cracked her neck, her knuckles and her restraint as her eyes flared unblinking at Delta, a raging aura flaming around the barbarian women.

The Battle was fierce as Zonatar swung with the force to shatter the skull of a Tarrasque. The pressure waves rippled the water around them as Zonatar swung with strength that some gods only dream of, fuelled by her hatred for the one that betrayed her trust and the hope that perhaps, maybe she can still save her wife.. But Delta was fast, years of experience hunting beings such as the Old gods and Orphans was a day job, managing to keep a distance from Zonatar's blows.
Delta's black blade slashed with magical force against Zonatar's hide with extreme power, her family was waiting back home, she had left them to get the power she needed to save them and get their home back, two children and a husband were waiting for her and she was not about to die so close to the end.

The two of them battled as titans trading blows as much as they traded words but in the end Zonatar fell. As Delta slashed closing her eyes unable to witness what she was doing. almost as if time had stopped Delta watched as Zonatar's body fell into the grey water below.

At this moment Stem got the portal open and Skidir had shown himself, reaching from the black ocean that was the sky of this place. Tendrils, clawed hands and a great dragon body with many eyes and layered jaws roared as it entered.

Skidir, one of the 4 Cornerstone Dragons created by the gods close to the beginning of their era.
Skidir was made to keep the forces of the abyss from straying into other realms, but as the Abyss corrupted him and he pleaded for help from his creators he only received silence.

Now Skidir was about to be freed and with the help of the professor Skidir would get to the Celestial plain and exact his revenge.

The Remainder of the party in awe saw their chance to get home. But as they were preparing a sinister voice sounded.
Destroy the seals
The party paused. Robert and Johm were not going to take any drastic actions so close to the end of this nightmare but Lekgolo had other plans.
He sprinted past everyone and took a massive leap off the dock, bringing his weapon Ordinance down on one of the seals as Stem cried out in panic.

The portal warped and became very unstable as the ground shook beneath the party’s feet.
a mass of black and eyes flu over the party in a flash and dived into the collapsing portal.

Skidir dived almost immediately after as Stem, Delta, Remington, Robert, Johm and Saphira took a ride on the abyssal dragon. The portal snapping closed leaving Lekgolo, Amicus and the body of Zonatar behind.

The next thing Robert and Johm knew was they were waking up to the soft music of a tavern. In beds they don’t remember.
When they asked the inn keeper he had this to say.

Yea it was crazy, short red head dragged the two of you in here all soaking wet from the sea. Your dragon too.
She paid for your attention and rooms then left as quick as she got here.

Back in the sailing city they started their journey in.
Johm and Robert both still had their lanterns but as normal ones now.

It’s not known what exactly they did after that, but they went their separate ways. To their shock 50 years had passed since they left on Delta’s boat.

Skidir and Stem jumped through another portal almost as soon as they entered the mortal world.

Lekgolo is cursed to forever walk those pale white beaches. Guiding those who wash up on shore to their train ride.

Amicus managed to get back into Exilis and now studies all he can about the old gods in Exilis as well as learning about the newest one.

The Sleeper was woken from its slumber, scrubbing Exilis clean. The only things that were left were a fraction of the civilian population, the sages and all traces of the virus stayed. Any unsavoury bandits, lightless, drowned or likewise creatures vanished and now many cities and towns are completely abandoned.
Its rumoured that Lady Valour keeps the horrific works of the sea spire going.

Delta headed back to Reton with the harvester at her side she was determined to clear out her home.

Zonatar’s body sunk to the depths of those grey waters along with her weapon and Lekgolo’s weapon.

Zonatar was a fighting spirit till the end, she never stopped loving you. I’m sorry your time was cut so short, but I hope to let you at least have closure. Off to bed now, we have a lot of work to do tomorrow

*Zonatar’s wife who is also now Valour’s assistant nods and tanks Valour for the tea and story as she heads back to her room*

*Lady Valour closes the book she was reading to Zonatar’s wife and takes a sip of her tea*

So that’s how this story ends, it was hectic and not everything was figured out, but you never know when the next story is going to start
