Session 67

Chax-chik vs Bokum

PCs (lvl 19): Dornal, Halbarad, Morg, Torak

The party continues to travel west, when they notice a mysterious construction rise up from the sand: a gigantic thri-kreen head. they inspect the monument, discovering a secret cache of magical items.

The day after they reach the thri-kreen horde led by Chax-chik, a tohr-kreen noble and a master psionicist. Together with Chax-chik are the Urikite envoys that betrayed the PCs back on the Road of Fire. 

The thri-kreen organize a feast for the two parties to reconcile, but the tension between the Pcs and the Urikites escalates in a duel between Morg and Thovadarak. The mul wins without much trouble, and the Urikites leave the feast promising revenge.

Chax-chik interrogates a spy, and finds out that an opposing horde of thri-kreen is on the march to stop them. The horde is led by Bokum, a dwarven psionicist of the Order masquerading as an avangion. The PCs and the horde prepare for battle.

The day after battle is joined, with the thri-kreen from both sides rapidly falling into a savage frenzy, and slaughtering both friends and foes. While the party fights the elite forces of the opposing horde, Chax-chik is locked in psionic combat with Bokum; the two masters destroy each other's brain, the tohr- kreen laying dead on the field, and the dwarf reduced to a drooling vegetable.

When the battle is concluded, both hordes are annihilated, and there's no trace of the Urikites.
