When Pash returned he brought some potions as well: Potion of Healing Superior x4, Potion of Invulnerability x1, Potion of Healing Supreme x1
We reach the bottom of the Cave of Shattered Reflections and find a crystalline door. We can feel power from the secrets we recovered over our adventure.
We find reflections of ourselves in the door - approaching us. The visage of our dream selves approach. Bardon’s, mine, and Treeavenger’s turn to dust before reaching us. But the visage of Pash exits the mirror and accosts us with two summoned knights.
Pash stops his shade from casting any spells, but the knights prove to be powerful in their own right.
Treeavenger finishes off the shade of Pash - Shaking the real Pash to the core.
We finish off the knights and heal up our wounds. Pash uses the hand and eye to open the door in a amusing fashion.
We enter the next room which is reverberates with a dangerous hum. Thanks to the power granted to us from the secrets we gathered, we can see through the walls and where each crystal leads.
Treeavenger tests one door and ends up in the room in the South East. Then finds the North door leads to Vecna.
We gather towards the door. Though the hum pulses in our ears.
We enter the room where Vecna is performing the ritual together.
Dumbass says he looked at “all the timelines” and said we couldn’t win. Dumbass bitch-made lich just didn’t want to look at the real reality and realize his ass was cooked the moment we rolled up.

Break Time
He begins by sending a torrent of souls at us.
Treeavenger summons the warriors from the Horn of Valhalla. Vecna teleports away from the summons and I strike at him. Pash strikes at him and Bardon heals me. Vecna strikes at me to little success, before teleporting to Bardon and healing himself.
Bardon is knocked out by some kind of mental strike against him. Pash saves him.
Vecna shunts us all into another world. Somewhere in Krynn
He casts a meteor storm and Bardon and Pash go down.
Vecna cosplays as someone relevant.
He summons a death dragon, but it means nothing in the face of Darrett Highwater, who appears to rally us.
We attack him and hold off the dragon. Eventually he pulls us into another vortex. Somewhere into the Astral Sea.
He casts Time Stop and holds me in place and places Treeavenger in a maze.
The orbs may allow us to stabilize the rifts in magic. I teleport out of the wall he created around me. Eventually making my way to him and striking deftly at him - assisting in stabilizing the rifts.
His mind shearing ability continues to hammer at Pash and Bardon.
After we stabilize the rifts and strike at him, he pulls us back to the Cave of Shattered Reflections.
He attempts to use Power Word Kill on me, which luckily fails to kill me.
He teleports into another room away from us, but can still attack us. We go seeking the room he is in.
I understand that his teleportation in this area requires precision. I blind him during my sneak attack and prevent him from teleporting away from us as we gather towards him.
Treeavenger grapples him around his eye to prevent him from teleporting during the small gap where my blind wears off.
Bardon being frightened has hampered any ability for him to reach us.
We continue to wail on him. I nearly deal too much damage, but stop short. Pash uses the Chime of Exile to banish Vecna.
The ritual fades away.
…And Alustriel, Tasha, Malaina, and the real Mordenkainen pull us through back to The Sanctum.
We party throughout the night. Eventually everyone but Mordenkainen and us has turned in. He offers a chance to make up for us being deceived by a fake version of him. He goes up to his room and returns with a Deck of Many Things
Pash decides to pull 3 from the deck and does quiet well for himself. Bardon and I also pull a card. Mine remains quite balanced and Bardon gets a new weapon.
Bardon’s god seals away his powers, at Bardon’s own request as he desires to just live a simple life. Though before that, he uses his wish to revive Treeavenger’s wife.
I chose to go back to my simple life as a PI in Neverwinter. While Pash goes back to claim his rule over Neverwinter.
