Alrric helps manage Ilvriss' mining company, recruits for Operation Periss (including miners and the Named Adventurer Shriekblade), and has dinner with Ilvriss. He and his daughter are secretly Doombringers, and he is part of a small cabal in Salaszar that hired Bearclaw to try to rescue/kidnap Mrsha. With her failure and disappearance, they've sent one of their own to collect Mrsha, Wanderer.

Chapter 7.34 C
  • Richard, Tom and others live in Rhir under Lord Hayvon, and head to 5th wall for training.
  • Cirille, Merish, and the others, stationed together at 5th Wall, have to deal with diversity.

King Othius IV speaks to Nereshal and a group of recaptured Mages, and announces his intention to summon more Earthers, sacrificing a hundred thousand unborn children for the spell, despite the moral objections of the Mages. He uses his aura/skills to compel their loyalty.

Lord Hayvon Operland, a high-ranking [Lord] in the service to the Blighted Kingdom of Rhir, subtly manipulates, bribes, and gaslights the Earther [Heroes] into their continued support for the kingdom's war against the Demons of Rhir, despite their desire to go out into the world and find other Earthers. One of the Rhir Earthers smelts titanium weapons. Tom the [Clown] tries to convince Richard that the Blighted Kingdom isn't fighting a noble crusade but is instead a militant ruthless empire that would discard them in an instant if they weren't "useful", but Richard is doubtful. Tom continues to obey and kill Demons anyway because he "has to kill someone".

An Izrilian detatchment, lead by Commander Cirille (a Drake) and Chief Warrior Merish (a plains Gnoll) is deployed to the 5th Wall - a massive barrier under construction along the Blighted Kingdom's front lines against the Demons. Once there, they find the front is staffed by soldiers and warriors from all around the world, from Ailendamus' [Knights], to Terandrian [Hunters], Lizardfolk warriors from Baleros, [Flesh Reapers] from A'ctelios Salash who eat their fallen enemies, [Martial Artists], and even [Necromancers]. So are the Earthers, including Tom the [Clown] and his groupies/imitators, the Gloomless Troupe.

The Demons begin an attack on the 5th Wall, sending thousands of soldiers and a new form of giant self-duplicating serpent.

Chapter 7.35 C
  • The Serpent-Titans attack 5th wall.
  • Cirille, Merish, and the others develop new tactics based on synergy between their groups.
  • Flora tells Giants about guns.

Cirille and Merish's detatchments defend the 5th Wall against the demon attacks, along with Tom the [Clown] and the other soldiers of Rhir. Bastion-General Quiteil uses his Skills and expends a Tier 7 scroll [Arrow of Winter: Glacius Pillar] to make a mile-radius blast zone of cold. After the battle, racial and cultural tensions between the various factions defending the wall heighten. Tom does crappy, un-funny stand-up comedy that makes almost everyone uncomfortable.

Cirille and Merish spend time training together, trying to make their forces work better together and ease the tension. Huntress Delezza, a high-level [Demon Hunter], dies of injuries from the battle while the Earthers are trying to get her a blood transfusion. Cirille recieves and accepts an invitation to join Ilvriss' Operation Periss.

We discover that both Harpies and Giants aren't extinct, but that they've joined the Demons of Rhir.

Chapter 7.36 C

Cirille discovers that her message to Ilvriss accepting his employment offer was intercepted and altered. As she goes to investigate how and why, the undead in their camp start going rogue as the Demons attack, beginning with an area confusion spell and compromising their [Message] spells and artifacts.

Silvenia (leading an army of illusory Demons) kills the Bastion-General of the Fifth Wall, and almost the entire detatchment of soliders defending it. Tom the [Clown] tries to kill her, but she effortlessly kills him by ripping him into tiny pieces. She and her forces destroy the 5th Wall and begin seeding the area with Creler eggs to make it uninhabitable.

Bastion-General Quiteil expends a million gold pieces worth of consumables to push her back and prevent her from destroying the 4th Wall as well. Lord Hayvon attempts to retake the position of the 5th Wall, now in ruin. Silvenia, the Death of Magic, one of the Deathless, is ordered to retreat by the Demon King.

Cirille is found dead after the battle. Tom is alive as well; Silvenia only killed his Skill-duplicate. The Izrilian detachment returns to Izril, after losing most of their soldiers. Lord Hayvon uses his skill, [Pride of the Fallen], to send ghostly copies of the fallen soldiers home, to spread word of the Deathless of the Demons' return, and request reinforcement.

Erin and Mrsha recieve a letter from Ryoka, and then write their own back in reply. Mrsha's writing is shockingly good, tutored by Lyonette to write like a princess. Mrsha realizes (with Teriarch's help) that she can write out phrases onto cards to communicate, and goes around insulting everyone in the inn until Maviola teaches her a lesson.

Liscor's council recieves a letter informing them that Hectval's city leadership accepted their invitation, and is coming to meet with them. Shriekblade and [Assassins] around Izril recieve a letter outlining a contract.

King Raelt of Jecrass recieves letters from various leaders of the surrounding kingdoms, offering him piecemeal aid; insufficient to *win* the war against the King of Destruction. He leads a near charge into the King of Destruction's forces, and manages to pin down Flos and stab him through the heart by sheer luck and sacrifice. It is meaningless, as Flos just heals up with a potion. Raelt and all of Jecrass' forces retreat from Belchan entirely and form up at their borders. Raelt announces his intention to sue for peace to the other rulers, knowing he can't win the war.

The Horns of Hammerad interrupt a careful collection of adventurers who were trying to take out a group of Face-Eater Moths by charioting in and causing havoc, obliterating the moths. They save the village, which is in the lands of House Byres, and the villagers recognize Yvlon. The Horns make their way to Yvlon's home, and meet with her parents. Ksmvr asks for one of the trees on House Byres' land.

Ryoka sends a letter to Laken, presumably about the Solstice party, and she and Fierre begin travelling in the Unmarked Carriage towards First Landing. Fierre takes the panacea and starts vomiting repeatedly.

Selys goes around asking people what she should invest her money in. A new employee of the Wandering Inn, Welle, gets mugged in Liscor, and though Hawk witnessed the crime, he did nothing about it. Erin discovers Relc was transferred to Cellidel and already left a week ago. Hawk and Selys break up.

Selys goes to Pallass to find investment opportunities, and runs into Onieva. Onieva is looking for a new place to set up a Turnscale bar, and considering the Wandering Inn, but decides to try testing Selys and then Erin to see if they're homophobic. Rose suggests a variant of Romeo and Juliet where both leads are gay men, and nearly gets lynched before Erin rushes to defend her. Rose realizes that this world is extremely homophobic, and Onieva overhears the entire affair.

Selys and Erin talk more about possible ideas on what Selys could do with her money, and discover that Kevin knows how bicycles work. Kevin works with Palt, Hedault, and Pelt (funded by Selys) to design a bicycle, and as an aside, builds a skateboard. In Pallass, Kevin, Hedault, and a bunch of the city's teenagers skateboard down the giant level-to-level ramps. Leon and Troy secretly sell information to Grimalkin.

Klbkch, Anand, and some Painted Antinium arrive in the Hivelands to show off the Free Hive's accomplishments. Klbkch fights the Grand Queen's prognugators, who are copies of him, and defeats them all at once with his [Recaptured Sublimity] Skill. The Queens show Klbkch their preparations for the future: The Grand Queen has constructed and stockpiled food, so they can create and sustain an army 23 times larger than their best from the First Antinium War. The Silent Queen created elite Antinium, including some which use bright light-based attacks to disorient and blind enemies. The Armored Queen created giant Soldiers, who are big and will draw enemy fire and waste their Skills. The Flying Queen is working on flight and projectile weapons. The Twisted Queen created new Birthers which can continue without the need for maintenance by Queens.

Anand creates a grave marker for General Sserys at the place where he was killed in the Hivelands during the First Antinium War.

Ryoka and Fierre begin trying to get into the Archmage of Izril's mansion. They discover the minefield, artillery spells, the fake illusory mansion, get trapped inside the *real* mansion, get past a mirror-clone room, golems, poison gas, and a maze. They're finally captured after Fierre succumbs to an insanity trap. Taken prisoner, Ryoka uses her friendship with the wind to help her, Fierre, and Salamani escape and collect a bunch of magic from previous invaders. They decide continuing is too dangerous, and blast their way back out of the mansion.

The Guild of Assassins ambushes Magnolia Reinhart while she's on the road, at the behest of the Circle of Thorns. They manage to kill Sacra, two more maids, and cut of Reynold's legs, leaving Magnolia with only Ressa for defense. They're about to kill Magnolia when Tyrion rides to her defense. Teriarch teleports Magnolia, Ressa, and Reynold to safety, leaving Tyrion behind by himself to defend against the now furious assassins. They are called off by the Circle, and the Circle of Thorns decides that they're going to *force* Tyrion to help them as a servant, rather than the ally they wanted.
