Its been a very long time, but last night the survivors among the PCs finally did the business.
From Waterdeep to Candlekeep, from Candlekeep to Athkatla, then back to Waterdeep. From Waterdeep to the Underdark, then a whole different plane, then another excursion to Waterdeep, and into the city of the dead.
Finally to the mountain above Waterdeep and releasing poor Simon from the claws of his doctor. The final "Big Bad" scene saw the PCs in the same room as the Lich we have been hunting since Athkatla, with his pet Beholder.
Now luckily, by the time he summoned the beholder, we had the Lich almost re-dead. But Aedan Galetai the 18 year old human druid can say as he sits in the Green Dragon Inn in waterdeep, with Jewel, his crush, and the cat on his lap, drinking a well earned pint, that he was once in the same room as a Lichand a Beholder, and he was the one who walked out of the room alive. It felt good to get covered in Beholder innards. Chopped liver, watermelon and rotten tomatos do not make a nice sounding shower, but when it is a choice between that or explaining to Sylvanus in person why you came calling, the mess is preferable.
Aedan will perhaps one day meet Sylvanus, but he hopes to have served him well for a few more years before that happens, and to have made a few more bad guys meet their Gods before Aedan meets his.
The end of a long running and Much Loved campaign. Many, many thanks to Leah, for running such a wonderful game for us all for so long.
It will feel strange to retire Aedan and to not go to Beholder every fortnight. But hopefully that will not be the last time I play with the people who I have come to know as my friends.
