Our original DM finally gets back and we tell him what all went down. He looked through the notes of the player who writes EVERYTHING down, and says "Well, I don't see why we can't play this out."
We're all shocked, and wondering what idea he has.
This man is now cemented as one of my favorite DMs I've ever met.
He manages to turn it around and have my Blackguard abilities being drawn from Vecna, who had also intercepted my connection to Kord. Through a series of quests involving a crystal to siphon the power coming in from Vecna. Once I route his power to the crystal I'm able to get my powers from Kord back. We went to talk to one of the highest priests of Kord, and he tells us this has happened to several Paladins, most of which lost their minds at the switch since they weren't able to see that Kord's dishonor wasn't true, or succumbed to the new evil powers.
Now I have my power and connection to Kord back, and a crystal pulling in power from Vecna. We talked to the priest about destroying it, or using it against him and he said "We've discussed this connection with the council and hope we can turn it against Vecna, to play his own game and learn some of his secrets. Since you were able to see through his lies and fight his influence, we think you should keep it, and study it. It may be of some use. If you learn anything about how and why Vecna is doing this, send us a message immediately. Normally you could speak to the high priest of any of our temples and get word to us, but we don't know how deep this corruption goes."
I hold onto the crystal, keeping it on my belt buckle so that it doesn't get near my eyes when I use Detect Evil, since it tends to read as "whoa fuck, there's an evil god right there!" |
