The Chronicle of Thraxx – Episode 7 – The End of Thraxx

Recap: We pick up this week, continuing our journey once again through Candyland, however, I found out that Granny Nut was not in fact an Arch Hag. We are in fact hunting her daughter/granddaughter/sisters? It’s complicated. New targets: Mother Blackthorn and daughter Blackthorn…

This week we began our journey appearing at the home of Granny Nut, who was not in fact a Hag. She was an odd acting old woman, except she wasn’t! She petitioned our party to save her husband from either snakes or worms. It was hard to tell. Thraxx, believing her to be a Hag in disguise, was ready to club her, but showed restraint as the rest of the party, all dishonorable spellcasters, wanted to try some form of diplomacy. This did not make sense to Thraxx, especially as she began to ominously tap her foot, as if trying to summon some sort of desert critter.

The party was enraptured with the prospects of her summoning these worms, to milk them… Thraxx was not impressed. They stood by, slack jawed until she had called forth five of these purple monstrosities, and then attacked.

Immediately Thraxx attacked the old woman, obviously more than what she appeared. After a good, hard clubbing she revealed her true form, that of a Rakshasa! Thraxx became furious, continuing to club her until she dishonorably retreated into the Hells where Thraxx could not follow her.

Denied his quarry, Thraxx turned his attention towards the worms. There were many of them, and they were quite vicious. Although he fought hard and valiantly, Thraxx would be bested by the worms, even after being swallowed and clubbing his way out. He did, however, outlive the foolish orc that worshipped him, Buddy the Orc. In his dying breaths, Thraxx only wished that he could have challenged Buddy the Orc for his fancy sword, a Blackrazer.

Thraxx would be knocked unconscious… his mind would begin to fade into the beyond granted to and honorable death… when the dishonorable Druid would deny him of his glorious death!

Thraxx, now enraged beyond belief would thrash about to claim his final trophy, falling once again and being swallowed. His body would at least nourish the worm that had bested him. Survival of the fittest at its finest.

Thraxx’s body would begin to dissolve as he lost himself… Then the dishonorable Rogue/Wizard/Warlock… Thraxx really isn’t sure what it is would reach into the worm’s throat, touch Thraxx with it’s filthy, dishonorable hands, and Plane Shift Thraxx into the Nine Hells, denying him once again an honorable death.

In the steaming Hells, the mage would heal Thraxx, coddling him. An Imp would approach to prepare Thraxx for the line that was Customs. The mage would convince the Imp of his importance before Thraxx smashed it, and the mage returned Thraxx to the battle against the worms.

Back in the fray, Thraxx would club a nearby worm to death, claiming the Blackrazer that it had claimed from Buddy the Orc (it was tribal law after all). He would then take that sword, which he would then dub Braidcutter (against the sword’s wishes) to cleave another worm in two.

The battle would end, the party would rest, and Thraxx would cut his braid, signifying his failure, shame, and loss of honor within his clan. Thraxx would rest physically, but his shame would keep him awake.

Retrospective: Another great game ran by Keith. I think the party composition and teamwork was nearly nonexistent for most of the fight, and the interaction beforehand. If there was a little more coordination, I think we might have all survived, but it all worked out in the end. I’m eager to see how Thraxx develops with the Blackrazer in his hands. Once he’s attuned to it, the abilities it will grant to him will be incredible. I look forward to playing again next week!
