The Waking Dark

Summary

• On the other side of the barrier they are in a strange place of orbiting rock and evil chanting
• Thousands of dreamers are chanting and the power is flowing into a chitinous structure
• They enter the structure
• Inside Ulweiss/Taratai is ready for them
• After killing her, she simply hops into the body of one of the commoners nearby
• They have to kill her in several forms and kill 8 innocent commoners (including 4 children) to defeat her
• By this time here transformation to godhood as The Waking Dark is nearly complete
• She transform and fights them as a massive whirling scorpion-like abomination
• Finally they destroy this form, and all that is left is a pathetic, regular tscuora quori
• They easily dispatch this pathetic creature
• Party awakens on a patch of scorched earth
• Everyone inside the tower is lying on the ground in concentric circles
• The tower itself is utterly obliterated, scattering debris over a 20 mile radius
• Everyone begins chanting "Heroes of Eberron"
• It turns out everyone across Eberron had a common dream in which they saw the final battle play out

Aftermath

• Sadie becomes governor of Droaam
• Cora becomes Sadie's "Vizier" and sets up another tavern to replace the destroyed Lizard's Mantle
