Recollections by Oran

I'm Óran Fhoghar, and I make music with my axe along side my construct, "Sibel O'Craam". I'm flattered to be offered a spot with the Eternal Order after Arsteel suggested it. I guess now I've gotta see which colored club-house I want to join! Before any of that, I'm supposed to briefly tell you about the important things. I'm told it's called a "brief".

We're accompanying Modron March from the Upperdark, and I'm teaching Jeroy how to use Arcane magic gracefully, when I meet and play music with Iago and his mom. I'm allowed to march along with the Greys and Black houses in their vanguards. The Modrons make a wall of Brass missiles and destroys this city until they find the Wand of Orcus and dismantle it. Then they try to leave without helping at all. The Greys and I compel a detachment of Modrons to join us (200 Monodrones, 100 Duodrones, 50 Tridrones, 25 Quadrones, 12 Pendadrones, and 1 Quinton)

Jeroy commanded the Greens and Browns, Iago helped by coordinating the Whites and Blues, and Kaylor, the naked half-elf, commanded the Yellows and Reds with a confidence I'd say he was probably born with.

At least one Dreadhoard Commander, Archinists, Generals, and Nerull, probably, are in this town that was once human filled, based on the brick and tall-ish buildings.

Our Modrons lead and we follow. We encounter Archanists and Soldiers, all dressed as themed hosts at a tacky restaurant. The Modron Wall of Brass assault while we follow behind was only good at distracting. We act together to get through until we get to the House of Pain, when a dreadfully dramatic surprise surrounds us with a Diva lady named Chandra

We wall off two of them and the reds make one of the generals go insane and explode. Before nearly passing out, I see many troops vaporize, and some overly familiar voice tells Jeroy "Good to see you, again" or something a creepy uncle would whisper.  

This "Dereth" shows up and makes 23 different copies of himself. I can forgive the Emo Black Full plate, but 23 copies is really shoving your pre-pubescent trauma down our throats. We fight them off and mop up. Chandra was Dereth's illusion, so she's wherever she wants, and the Ex-Calibur is gone, too. Thankfully, Nerull didn't heed Dereth's call for intervention, because it would have been tough. We've destroyed all the themed waiters and their managers and the Magister Masters just left and didn't bother to figure out rebuilding. I assume the Modrons meandered their way back to their group, because it was only an hour or two that we borrowed them for.
