| Red Lord Returns |
[09 Oct 2012|12:04am] |
The end of the world scenarios for the other pantheons set off the Fomorians to make another major attack on the Tuatha de Danann for Tir na nOg. Meanwhile the Red Lord is freed as leaves to the Dying Realm. It is decided by the Tuatha to deal with one threat at a time and deal with the Fomorians first whom are considered the bigger threat. One of the Tuatha Gods (Morrigan, The Dadga, or Brigid) decides to temporarily leave to battle to help mortals deal with the Red Lord for what time they can spare.
The Red Lord goes on a battle path of destruction after calling forth his Bane to join him. The Champions and Thunderbolts go to fight him after enough major environmental damage is done. They fight the Bane and do poorly as they are becoming more powerful as the Red Lord does by the more environmental damage done. Any direct attacks on the Red Lord are shrugged off and laughed after before being blasted away.
The Tuatha god intervenes as things go bad with powerful druidic magic driving them back if however briefly. The god forces a tactical retreat to explain the truth of the situation.
The Red Lord is explained to be a former member of the Tuatha and son of Morrigan and the Dadga. He went dark and attempted to take leadership of the Tuatha by force but failed and was banished for his action. During this banishment he attracted the attention of the darkside of Danu(Gaia) which bound with him and transformed him into the Red Lord. Due to the threat he poised to the world they battled him and imprisoned him within Annwn locking him away.
It is explained that they are currently not strong enough to bind the Red Lord again, at least not while the war continues between the Tuatha and the Fomorians. But if they could find the Green Knight the Red Lord's counter part he might be able to help bind him again.
A plan is formed to deal with the threat of the Red Lord and the Bane. A team of heavies goes to stall the Red Lord and the Bane and prevent them from becoming more powerful with the gods help. The are also given the powers of the Pendragon spirits to try to even up the fight. The other team goes to Avalon to find the Green Knight for aid against the Red Lord with aid from Eiltin as their guide.
After the Green Knight is found an revived and his Formorian guards are beaten the Dying world team is signaled and the God and any other magic users there help transport themselves and the Red Lord to Avalon. There they fight and the Red Lord is rebound.
The Bane are still on the loose causing trouble and will try to free their lord again at some point.
