terryclothTonight was Lance's game, in which I introduced my cheesy munchkiny wizard Rey to replace my useless blob Ozzie, and ended up being more of a liability than a help. Ozzie would have been less trouble because he would have done absolutely nothing the whole session.
The party, sitting in hyperspace, cloaked, on the way to visit a chronomancer to get sent back to their own time, were hailed out of the blue by the chronomancer they sought, or perhaps by a different one. He offered to send them back if they'd give him their ship so that he could research Go'uld technology, and also retrieve an 'orb of the centuries' for him from a planet he was afraid to go near.
Oh, wait -- before this, they discovered a tok'ra spy who'd been hiding invisibly while they killed off everyone on the ship, and only revealed himself after the dangerous and psychotic members of the party had bonded themselves to tok'ra, who recognized him as one of their own. Lan, the NPC jedi, also recognized him. This was enough for Wren not to gut him on sight. With nowhere else to go, his espionage mission hopelessly wrecked with the hijacking of the pyramid ship, he joined the party.
Anyway, uncertain about the chronomancer's offer, the party asked to meet him in person to discuss this. He showed them to a stargate and invited them over for dinner, at which point the useless blob Ozzie, deciding that he was rich enough (if he stole all the party's cash), and that he didn't really *want* to go back to his own accursed time, and hearing from the chronomancer that he wouldn't have to worry about causing a paradox for 500 years when he'd die horribly for overlapping his own birth, skipped out with all the money from the ship and vanished.
During the negotiations, the party managed to get the chronomancer's promise that he'd send the ship into the future to meet them once he was finished with it. Lan and Rey, not being from the future, weren't quite as enthusiastic about having to go along with the three out-of-timers, but the parameters of the mission demanded it, and the Toa masters concurred. There would be evil for them to fight in the future, as there was in the present.
So, the five of them were teleported to the undead-ridden third moon of the undead world of Ashra, whose entire sphere had been poisoned with negative energy during an ancient war and converted to undead, with a scroll that would teleport the sphere of centuries to the chronomancer and (he claimed) send them into the future.
The party evaded the wandering armies of undead on the plains, snuck into the city in which the tracker indicated the sphere was located, and performed a frontal assault on the castle of the Vampire Lord Strahd, climbing and flying up the wall, breaking through the plate glass window of his bedroom, killing two of his mistresses and then convincing him to flee by (accidentally) summoning a demon lord into his bathroom.
Rey apologized to the demon lord and gave him back his summoning amulet, which gave Wren enough time to locate the orb and read the scroll before the pit fiend ripped them all to shreds. And then... the party spent 500 years in stasis, after which time the room (and they) were covered in cobwebs and dust, and the undead seemed to be gone (although they'd seemed to not be present in the past when the party had approached the castle -- they hadn't *intended* to do a frontal assault), but a 300-foot long dragon sat in the courtyard.
