The journey continued...
We managed to survive traveling through the intricate and treacherous underground labyrinth of the Battle Cube. We found the portal with the blessing of many gods, Bane in particular, and passed though it. What we encountered next would, perhaps, change some of us forever, we feared. We knew that every step we took in which we delayed brought victory to the Betrayer ever closer. We had to hurry.
CHAPTER TWO: PAST THE BATTLE CUBE TO THE BLUE CUBE
OBJECTIVES: Acheron's first layer, Avalas, consists of three cubes: the Battle Cube, the Blue Cube, and Chernoggar. In order to get to Banehold - which is on Chernoggar, you must travel through the first two sub layers: the Battle Cube, and the Blue Cube. Legion Commander Misha awaits you all at Banehold. You are all now on the Blue Cube. Defeat the challenge below to gain access to Chernoggar, location of Banehold.
We stepped through the Battle Cube portal and entered the Blue Cube - at a worse possible time. To our surprise and horror, another cube was about to crash into the Blue Cube. For a moment, we all prayed for our lives:
PLANAR HAZARD - CRASHING CUBES:The plane consists of an innumerable number of enormous cubes floating in an infinite void orbiting a red giant star. Each cube can be anywhere from a few hundred feet to several thousand miles on it’s sides. The cubes routinely clash into one another each day, sometimes something catastrophic may happen.
45
Thankfully, nothing other than a terrible earthquake rocked us, so we pressed on, thankful nothing more disastrous happened.
PLANAR EFFECT - FAVOR THE BOLD:If a creature in Avalas hasn't reduced another creature to zero hit points within a day, the creature must make a DC25 CON save. On a failed save, you cannot benefit from any immunity, benefit, or dispel effect that removes the "frightened" condition. Nothing short of a wish spell can remove this effect, or, by slaying another creature by bringing it down to zero hit points. EVERYONE ROLL FOR THIS NOW.
BLUE CUBE LORE:It was a bizarre cube, one of the smaller geometric bodies floating through Avalas' red skies. Each side was around 10 miles across and was formed of metal with a blue-white sheen. Hence it's name, we astutely surmised. The surface of the cube, was saw, was peculiar in several ways. Purple lightning crackled across it's features, and Draconic words were scrawled across it's surface in spiraling patterns. NOTE: Those who can read Draconic can read the patterns. Someone, or something, is etching painfully detailed memories on the surface of the cube - (a la the movie: "Momento"). They are so numerous, it would take a very long while to read them all. They range from very common facts, reminders, tips, to whole stories. Exactly in the center of one of the cube faces was what is known as the Crackling Cavern, the only entrance on the whole cube - and the only exit to Chernoggar. There was a challenge waiting inside.
OBJECTIVE MECHANICS:Teslor, an ancient blue dragon, guards the only short range portal to Chernoggar. His tattered wings prevent him from flying off the geometic mass, and is the guardian of the portal. He must be defeated in order to proceed to Chernoggar.
"I found Teslor's hospeetaleetee to be entirely lacking. Was I offered a drink, or even a crumbly scone during my visit? Hardly. He entirely forgot to make zeh bed and bring new towels every morning, too. I'll take my business elsewhere next time, thank you very much."- Legion Commander Misha Praskovia

Mordok, bred for his strength and ruthlessness in battle, has never been known for his, err, way with words. He stands there in silence as the magik folk spin their stories, not really understanding a word they're saying. But when Raktimos joins them, ...., wow, Mordok's jaw drops. Never in his 40 years of existence has he met someone larger than he! Almost bashfully, he approaches Raktimos and gently pokes his natural armor. "That good armor" is offered up more as a question than an observation. Grunting his own response, he bows his head in respect to the one and only beast he's ever met who is likely his equal.
Laughing, he throws his arm around the dragonborn's shoulder and responds to his query whilst ticking off the points he memorized by counting on the fingers of his hand: "Mordok's purpose ... to honor my Empress ... fight by Legion Commander Misha's side ... make lots of money for my owner!"
When Yarog dances around the area, singing his healing song, Mordok simply laughs a huge belly laugh, and tries to mirror the dance himself, jumping around on one leg like a child playing hopscotch, giggling uncontrollably.
Yeah, Mordok is pretty dumb!
He continues his childish ways through the cube crashing experience, but changes his tune when they venture further into the Blue Cube. He finds himself yearning to draw some blood on a battlefield. Any battlefield.
DC25 CON ST: 27
As they enter the portal, and behold the greatness of the blue dragon within, Mordok looks confusedly between the blue dragon and Raktimos. Not sure what he's supposed to do, until he notices those around him readying for battle, so he does the same:
A glint of mirth lights up the eyes Yarog. And for a moment, the shape of the pupils expand and flatten to that of some goats, prior to abruptly returning to normal; the long time minor glamour having snapped back into place. "To recognize my lineage is no simple thing!"He grinned. "Of all here, I look forward to fighting alongside you, Son of Mechanus." He chuckled heartily, as the group carried on to the next step.
Con Save(includes Paly Aura Bonus): 29. Initiative: 16.
Everyone else is given at least a nod in acknowledgement in turn or marveled at for their uniqueness, be it size or strange appearance. But as he's getting around to jotting down such things for future tale, the dragon's presence even leaves stalwart Yarog taken aback. In a hurry he holds out a hand and tugs, binding loosely the fate of one Kali and Mordok. "To avoid a near less than glamorous end for a mighty one? This plane certainly has its jests." He commented on after upon turning back to the dragon.
From what you can tell, the lair is a complex cavern system with a large stadium like cave in the center, Teslor's main area that he engages enemies with. The entire lair is carved from metal with writing in Draconic all over the walls. You can feel your hairs stand on end, and the smell of ozone is in the air. From here, at the entrance to the lair, you cannot see the portal.

Knowing that she is about to walk into a room with a giant angry lizard, Zaeda tosses an elixir of boldness to Kali granting them a d4 on all saves and attacks for the next minute and gain 8 temporary HP along with a another small vial containing a haste spell for the next minute, and an elixir of defense to Carrhae granting them +1 AC for 10 minutes and 14 temporary HP. "Before ya go in, here is some of my favorite brews. They might help you out in a pinch." Humming a merry drinking song, Zaeda begins to juggle multiple vials of her concoctions waiting for the chance to run in.

Raktimos will laugh heartily at Mordok’s confusion.
”we will get along famously my large friend. This here is a poor excuse for a dragon. A Bluuuue one.” (Raktimos spits out that last part as if they aren’t even worth the breath) “Disgusting, these creatures believe themselves superior through (finger quotes) Hard Work.” Raktimos spits on the ground. “I relish the opportunity to send this creature back to my love, so she can use and discard this petty thing. Let’s remind this creature what true tyranny feels like!”

Deep inside the winding pathways is the lair of Teslor, the ancient blue dragon. A marvelous sight to behold, no doubt, but his wing have been withered away, horribly damaged. His voice rumbles through the metallic cavern as you approach the heart of his lair. Off in the distance, the soft hum of a short range portal can be heard..somewhere.
"What is this I sense?!"Teslor rumbles. "Yes. Outsiders, perhaps. Visitors. Seeking a way through portal, no doubt. Come, then, fleas, let us make a game of it! Don't make a mess of the walls, however. I need those notes. Can't remember why, though..oh yes. I remember."

Raktimos walks forward, wings spreading wide,
“Shut the f¥€k up, you poor excuse for a wyrm, and kneel before your superior, Raktimos, Peerless before the ancient wyrms, chief consort of Tiamat the dragon queen, and tyrant of the ancient empire of Ozymandias.”
he raises a hand, casting ray of enfeeblement, 23 A black beam of enervating energy enshrouds the blue dragon
”Bow down before me, lizard.”
On a hit, the target deals only half damage with weapon attacks that use Strength until the spell ends.

Knowing they were entering extreme danger, the warlock becomes invisible while the others are preparing themselves to enter the cavern. (Eldritch Invocations: Armor of Shadows (mage armor at will) and Shroud of Shadows (invisibility at will))
Kali takes the elixirs from Zaeda, squinting at them both with her one eye, then shrugging because she's put worse shit in her body. "Well thank ya kindly. Promise I won't complain about the taste." Just before they enter, she downs the two vials as she would an ale and readies her new axe, taking a moment to thank the Lord General for his gracious gift to her, hoping with this upcoming fight she would do him proud. The sismic hybrid then hypes herself up and gets ready to be ******* PISSED.
