The Thirty-Sixth Session (Season 3 premiere!)

Expanding on the conversation with the deity from episode 35, they dubbed him Brian and questioned him about the gods' role in the current events, to which he responded that it wasn't the gods' place to fight the wars of men for them, but rather to help nudge events into place if they strayed too far from the proper course of history. It was up to the beings of the material plane to be the torchbearers of their own history, so the world would have heroes that were its own, and not seem run by greater deities with little action necessary from those on the material plane. He said further that this was one of many worlds, and that he had been fighting for over 3,000 years of his time, and longed for an era of true peace. He then told the Sentinels to go to Lyria and stop the evil that was amassing there. Halrek asked about his powers, and was told he had always had them, but never knew to look, as he never needed them prior to his awakening. He told Aoth that Alehel was proud of him. He then disappeared into the mist with the other mysterious man.

Melarra, in awe of the deity, said that his coming meant that this was truly a turning point in history, and gave her hope for the outcome. She said if they were to go to Lyria, they should travel north along No Man's Land and cross where the river meets the Moonsea at the Fortress of Luna. They took their horses and made the journey. Arriving a day and a half later, they immediately began to use their magic to cross the river, with Aoth parting the water so he and Yief could cross, while Shag took Halrek inside a bag of holding and used Dimension Door to cross, leaving Aoth to take both of their horses. Shag almost forgot to let Halrek out, however, nearly killing him. Xochic flew across. They made it to the other side, seeing the Resistance members in the Fortress of Luna coming out and seeing them off.

After some walking, they realized the path they were on was once well traveled, but hadn't been in nearly 4 weeks, and there were very few signs of animal life. They camped in a hole in the ground Xochic made to help hide them from any enemies that may pass, and then continued in what they believed was the morning. They made it to the Lyrian village of Mulmaster a half day later, seeing it ravaged and inhabited by Ebonyborn, and a giant Bloodstone near the beach.

Sneaking into the village, Aoth caused a distraction, allowing Halrek and Yief to begin assassinating some of the soldiers on patrol. Soon, a large battle erupted, in which they killed nearly twenty soldiers, a captain, a commander, and a Barlgura demon, with Yief getting a double beheading in one swing on the commander and an adjacent soldier, and Aoth killing 3 soldiers each with a single strike.

Finally emerging victorious, they looked up at the stone past the town, and prepared to continue.
