Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

The Temple of Lolth is still active It's just hiding in the shadows...

As co-founder of the guild and as I'll be coming into a great deal of time in the very near future I would be happy to assume the roll of leader and organise things, some of you might have already spoken to Nhil in-game.

I've sent a PM requesting to take over as our forum's moderator from Carebear to Darkshard, we'll see how that goes.

Lolth tlu malla!

Lolth tlu malla indeed.

While the battle rages at Undrek Valnar and the heroes defend the wall bravely. Many turn to face a new threat at Varalla's passage.

Meanwhile Kar'my touched as ever , continue her prayers to the Dark Queen for a party capable of helping accomplish the prophecy, she helps to the defense of places she know in hearth to be lost already. But her loyalties to Sshamath have not all been obscured by the Dark Queen and she fights alongside those she believes doomed.

The first part of this prophecy being teleporting the 12 to where the six guardians protect the philactery. There she should be able to pass the wards on the crystal itself but the six must be dealt with first she suppose.

That done , a mystic ritual that should be performed by the yath shall summon Lolth's might into our plane and she will crush the Alhoon and it's armies once and for all and all shall bask in her holy presence.

Let it be known ; Kar prophetised the fall of Undrek Valnar , as Lolth told her , Yet the walls held. A huge blow to her blind faith but the sorceress still beleives. She begs Lolth for guidance and support from the yath and to be shown the way ...

Let it also be known that lacking volunteers ( of worth ) for the holy mission , Alienor will be picking half of the twelve and that she made clear she will only support the first part of the prophecy, wich is getting the philactery and that under no circumstance would she allow Lolth to be summoned.

Kar has two body guards , meaning there is still room for three faithful of lolth to come. And their journey will be one of risk and meaning Kar believes.





// Reiza of House Sshamath performed the rituals , and i suppose it's to whom lolth side will want/try to bring the philactery , while Alienor team will only want to destroy it , should bring interesting RP

Kar may be touched and prophet but she's nothing if the yathrin does not raise to the occasion, i wish i had made that clearer from the start. Even if i ooc made a bit of research on lolth , Kar never has & her education at the school of mages did not cover this


She was an heretic & unbeliever herself not so long ago. She has the knowledge of the tennets equivalent to an initiate of the yathrin despite being the Deothusin. Lolth canot be summoned by her will alone and it's clear now that many will try to stop her


Cheers & good gaming -- whatever may come

The Children of Sshamath, once lost in the darkness of the aetheist heretics of conclave have found new meaning in faith. The war brings them to the brink of desparation, destitute and chaos! Many laymen citizens of the city who were barred evacuation stood in awe as the Yathtallar performed the ritual under heavy duress of an ASSASSINS BLADE!

Yathtallar Reiza Sshamath and her ward the Dethusin (the chosen) Kar'myr held their ground the latter holding the phylactery VICTORIOUSLY herself, for she is the only one with the power to hold the warded crystalline repository, filled with the Alhoon's mortal life force. It is rumored that a stand-off was mounted at the altar of lolth! Defiant males! Loyalist scum to the weakling conclave had stood in the way of the salvation of the city through lolth's coming!

No... The Yathtallar would not see this city burn or raped by the alien that beckons it's walls and slays her kin! Not this cycle... Determined Reiza casts a ward that had the upper hand on the assassins, the matron guard sprung to action defending the priestess from harm as she was ready to destroy the phylactery upon lolth's altar as it was foretold to her by her illharess! She would merge the demure and subservient Kar'myr with Lolth's will! To bind them both and unleash the engine of destruction upon the enemies of the church and those who oppose the dark queen's faithful!

The fighting quickly ensued, the foolish Jaluk's attempted to wrist the article but it was of no use.. the curse and the wards that bind the phylactery will render all males destroyed should they attempt to even graze the device! A percaution made by the clever undead being, who is very wary of the would-be jaluk thieves that the conclave would host.. afterall his informant - the traitor to the city and his double-crosser lai'roch - was the one who raised this concern to him.

Few loyal to the dark queen also stood against the assassins! Envil a dark warrior with powers unknown held his ground and fought two of the attackers making quick work of them as the matron guards fought of the other... though it was too late. A dagger had breached the spell ward of the Yathtallar as she completed the last chant of her prayer and cast destruction upon Kar'myr and the phylactery in her grasp. The blade sunk deep into Reiza's toned back piercing her lungs and heart. She lay still as her assassin, guilhem of the Seventh Circle was then taken tackled by the matron guards!

Though it was too late! Victory was Reiza's, victory was too lolth! The ritual completed, the chosen was now binded to the Avatar.. a portal to the abyss had opened, the demonic flames of black poured through the open rift in the fabric of dimensions! One gargantuan spindly leg after another sprung forth as the giant spider emerged, mounted atop the Torso of a Female, her eye's blazed red with sheer hatred her torso naked and baring perfect ebony skin covered in a thick flowing mane of white and silver from that cascaded over her shoulders and down it's back!

The avatar's taloned hands took hold a Staff that eminated those around her to either cower in fear of it's presence or prostrate themselves before her might! Lolth had come, she had traversed the dimensions to bring her projection to the prime world to create beleivers from the wretches of populace, to save the city that had forgotten her, too punish the enemy of the people!

Hundreds if not thousands witnessed the city shake as the avatar took form through the portal and spoke her words that resonated in the minds of all drow born of her blood. The divine creature's fury raged as it targetted the Varallas passage where the Alhoon Tyraxaphelus had prepared the weapon despite the valiant effort of the tunnel defenders who fought to the last man agaisnt the alien's retinue of undead!

With a flash of light the avatar quickly made it's way from the temple located in the city proper to the top of the great spire that housed the entrance to Varallas. The survivors of the defense force stood in awe as the divine creature swept aside the resistance. Shattering and slaying undead with every movement of her wicked staff. The eight great legs of the avatar moved ferociously through the cavern attacking, maiming and pinning enemy targets that it encountered on the way towards the weapon mounted on the far side of the passage. The weapon primed and positioned to fire upon sshamath itself! Every movement of it's insectiod and humanoid body thrashed the otherwise unmovable debris fallen from the cavern ceilings as it rampages through the passage in an raw rage that stuns the Sshamathian defenders.

Once at the weapon, the weapon is discharged! The spider queen strikes the artifact simultaneously! The pulse of the blasts from the phaerimm weapon disrupts the avatar as it stand firm taking the brunt of the deadly fire meant to disable an entire city and rend magic uselss! A Hairline fracture from the avatar's connected attack begins to create an instability in the weapon! The artifact begins to leak energy and more fractures can be seen upon it's earthen and faceted surface! Light pours out from all fractures and the weapon explodes with the Avatar within the range of it's incendiary blast!

The light subsides .. though it was too bright for drow eyes to perceive what had happened in the final moments of the weapon's destruction. However, the great avatar of lolth, the flesh carver, the slaayer, the mistress of the demonwebs was no where in-sight. Many to this day beleive it was her sacrifice to her ungrateful children of the city who long forgotten their mother's care. Lolth, descended to the prime in it's hour of greatest need to defeat the alhoon's weapon and save the city from destruction. It is she who foretold the secrets to ilharess through visions of the pending war and the greatest enemy Sshamath has ever known. It was she who guided us the phylactery that destroyed the lich. It was she who will mend us, her children of sshamath from the destitution that the aftermath of war will bring!

Lolth tlu Malla
