The session began as The Discovery approached the coordinates given to D4NKW0LF on their way to the bunker island. As they hovered over the landing site, Klagmar began to anxiously cast spell after spell to ensure the groups complete safety. Not only this, but he gazed into the future multiple times to ensure perfect readings, determined not to endanger his friends souls in the apocalypse approaching, as without him and the infinity engine the ritual would go nowhere fast.
So the team descended into the fog of the drop site, and there they saw the approach of two figures, one small and the other gangly and tall. On edge, they demanded the two identify themselves. As the fog cleared, the two came into focus, D4NKW0LF's form undoubtedly there but covered in cybernetics and machinery, and accompanied by the wiry form of one of the Wazzle Clones. Apprehensive, the team was reassured when the clone mentioned that "He was free now" and cyborg D4NKW0LF backed him up. The two continued and told of how they came from a reality where cosmo had already succeed and their universe quite literally unmade itself at the death of the Gods. However, they knew where this realities cosmo currently hid, and told of how they intended to try and stop him alongside Wizcorp fleets and other ragtag groups.
The team were split, some wanted to go to the astral plane and do battle right away, but Klagmar dissented and wanted to secure the survival of those on the island, since failure could mean death of the soul as well as the body, an idea which horrified him to no end. So they parted ways with the strange duo from another reality, and silently bid farewell. As they came back aboard their ship, Carl noticed that the sky began to look like blue and starry and saw figures flitting about in the skies. Klagmar looked and saw the forms of the long dead dragons, come back to life. Confused and disturbed at the bleeding of the astral plane into the material, Klagmar rallied the crew to go as fast as possible while reality fell apart around them.
As The Discovery sped forward, Klagmar, Carl, and Kroagnar gated back over to The Bunker to check up on the status of things and ensure an early departure if necessary. Jebbert was well underway to perfecting the bunker, and families and friends were being allotted living spaces and jobs for their future lives in the demiplane. While this was happening, Carl decided to pay a visit to his hometown a few dunes over from the gate point. Upon arriving, the frightened villagers shot at Carl but Carl swiped away the arrows while trying (and mostly failing) to convince them he was friendly. After brief conversation, he informed them of the end of the world and how he could bring them somewhere safe if they wanted. Eager to survive, Carl opened a new gate inside the town and began funneling his village onto Bunker Island as Klagmar began taking tally of any spellcasters in the towns populace. Happy to have saved his people, Carl brought the team back to The Discovery.
Two more days passed before the discovery landed on Bunker Island, and the ship was docked onto the island and the Infinity Engine unloaded as Klagmar got to work in the gymnasium Jebbert had cleared aside for the ritual. Chip mostly read magical schooldwarf and played with the kids, Carl began entering deep meditations to help with the ritual, and Kroagnar felt frustrated at his inability to help as he wasn't a caster. Instead, he began deeply meditating and contacted the being that gave him his silver beard so long ago. Kroagnar spoke of how he did his best to raise his families, and how he was trying to do right by the deceased Moradin. He informed the dwarven spirit of how the world was on the verge of collapse, and how he needed the spirits help to save everyone he knew and loved.
Moved, the spirit told Kroagnar he would help, and Kroagnar awoke with a simple and finely wrought ring on his finger. He ran over to Klagmar who was busily preparing the ritual around the Infinity Engine. He showed Klagmar the ring, which Klagmar tried identifying but was horrified when he noticed that he couldn't detect ANY magic flow anywhere. This was promptly cut short as Klagmar made contact with the ring and found himself pulled into Kroagnar. Excited, Kroagmar began shouting for the mages to begin assembly for the ritual.
After a minor internal conversation between Kroagnar, Klagmar, and the spirit, Klagmar was emboldened and finished off the final touches of the ritual. The mages took their spots, and the ritual began. A low hum began as the Engine began to rumble with life, and the mages assembled began a rhythmic thump in concerto with Kroagmar. Everyone poured their focus and effort as Kroagmar led the ritual, pulling on every fragment of planar knowledge and skill to make the spell work. As the ritual gained traction, it began to become more and more powerful, and on the final chant the spell reached a peak it began sucking in the very life force of the casters around it. Carl along with 45 others all fell over as the ritual killed them, Kroagmar only surviving by merit of Kroagnars dwarven fortitude kept them from dying as well.
As Kroagmar split apart and surveyed the room around them, they were conflicted. They lost Carl, and 45 others, but they had saved so many people. Klagmar congratulated the survivors, and honored the memories of those lost. He and Kroagnar approached to go bury the bodies, but before they could the bodies went up in wisps of light and dust before fading and becoming the very stars of the night sky. Together, they took stock of the situation and checked up on everyone before heading outside to survey their demiplane. Klagmar was confused, when people tried to explore the edge of their new world, it kept expanding. Just as he was musing about the entire situation they were in with Kroagnar, the two were struck by beams of holy light.
They felt themselves suffused with divine energy, as they were the creators of this new reality they were bestowed with the powers of Gods. Confused at first, the duo assembled a grand assembly hall for themselves and any future divinity where they found that Carl and the 45 others who died in the ritual had also been given Godhood of varying strengths. As Klagmar headed the table and began to address the new Gods, the doors to the Hall opened once more and they were greeted by a being of indescribable size and appearance, the Overdiety. Gracefully, it strode inside and addressed the Hall "I see you've created a new world here, let me offer a few pointers."
