Big session.
So for starters, I went to my own funeral (and I wasn't late, yay!) and my character's brother joined.
So we head to Skire (which is literally Ireland and Scotland mixed to one island) and we followed the trail of our team's machinesmith (who's an android and the only one made) "father". We end up in a town where my character, who cannot sleep and feels compelled to head downstairs of the inn, meets a dwarf named Visillie (who has a thick Russian accent) and fills me in on details and agrees to help me and my party if we plan to travel into the mountains, after he says it's very dangerous. He also tells me of a half elf who has answers, so I wake up the android and ask him to come with me as I go to explain to him about what I was told.
Unfortunately, so is the companion of that one guy (the one who likes breaking the game) and she follows us, and she has tendencies to go chaotic evil when elves are involved and she refused to listen to me because he controls her (and nothing can make me stop her, so I have a loose trigger following me. Did I mention she hates elves to the point they make her go instantly chaotic evil and we're to talk to a half-elf she just passed by and tried to drain intelligence on? Yeah...)
So we eventually (after that one guy threatens to blow everyone up) a good cop/bad cop scenario, we convince the half-elf to cooperate and he gives us information. We get some rest, and the party goes to this big ass cave that leads to three things:
A very large room lined with brass (a lot of it), a train that is much more advanced than before (detect magic sees it as having some sort of electric magic running on the train and the rails, and there are glass balls that have this magic too that are shining bright lights), and a fuck ton of paper scattered across the room (a detection of magic shows they have some sort of magic on them that looks like the beginnings of a spell being cast, but it's not casting anything).
We hop on the train and we are greeted with a very rapture-esque message recorded into the system. We then see a big ass gate with dead, frozen and slightly melted people Grasping onto it. The magic that we saw earlier was strong here, and the air tasted coppery.
We break the gate and find the town of Highrock and a sign that says "And so the LAMBS were lead to slaughter", and the sign directs us to LAMBS.
We search the town and my character finds Visillie again and flies up to him. Since no one flies with me, they think I'm crazy (and that one guy won't stop complaining at this time about how stupid we are as a party, plus how I'm crazy and I shouldn't be seeing ghosts (as he thinks it to be) because of his cohort). He shows me a room where I'm given a vision of a halfling getting a bullet to the head as he's blamed for something. I find a diary explaining about LAMBS (essentially, they were researching on how to regain and surpass knowledge lost from our world's version of Rome/Atlantis (called Arcaia), and they tested the limits in hopes of making magic and machine aid one another).
We then hop aboard a train after looking at the android's creator's house and proceeded to LAMBS, where his father speaks to us from a metal box. He tells us we won't interfere with his research and sends glowing zombies (similar to glowing ones in fallout) and we slaughter them. We then find what was called an Arcane Reactor, which was leaking this blue mist all over. The reactor also radiated more magical power than these artifacts we've been hunting that are so strong, it's almost impossible to NOT notice it (and since these artifacts are said to, when gathered and worn, cause the wearer to ascend into godhood, they're VERY powerful).
We do some shit and get through these chambers, but the party leaves me behind because they don't notice the chamber filling up with the blue mist again. I got lucky and made it back and found another path, leading to an alternate room, where Visillie was waving me down. How he got there, I don't know, but I ended up getting to him by rerouting the mist and he shows me another body who was apparently the head scientist here. He had the code we needed for the train to work again, and Visillie tells me about himself; how he became a ginetic experiment, but escaped before they could kill him or make him a monster. He tells me then, that Orodini, the android's creator, must be killed (I now realized I have my own Victor Reznov at this time).
Meanwhile, the others walk into the bomb testing lab, and they get a vision of a couple of scientists standing at the window they're near (which upon closer inspection, has no glass now) and watch as this bright white light envelops them, as they hear the words echo "I have become death, destroyer of worlds." With detect magic, the mages now realize the aura of the magic they didn't fully know about before is REALLY strong here, and that one guy keeps it to himself about it and bitches about it the entire time and NOT ONCE mentions it until I tell him that he didn't say anything in character. When he does, he metagames the fuck out of it and says its nuclear radiation and will cause us o grow tumours and shit.
We reunite, and because everyone has been being a dick to me, I don't tell them anything and tell them I got the code (not how, not anything). We go deeper and see several visions of a child and a woman walking into various surgery rooms and watch as these scientists talk. The last room shows a soldier talking to two scientists as he says "he killed them both... His wife and his child..." As we hear the words "I've... Got no strings... To hold me down..." And then in reality, we hear the ending: "I've got no strings... On me..." And we fight a being made ENTIRELY out of magic. My kineticist is useless here since all of his abilities deal fire damage (I even went super sayain here, per say, and I did nothing)
Eventually, after futile attempt after futile attempt, Visillie appears and opens this door that the android claims was locked, and I run through, find the being's real body, and destroy it with fire. The party then questions me on how I phased through a door, but I said it was open. They ignore me and I tell them off.
Our session then ended as we approached the next station as we watched the nations, all of them with technology we've seen in LAMBS but everywhere, and watching it all get destroyed in a flash as nation after nation is destroyed in a volley of world ending arcane blasts.
So in a nutshell: magic nukes, fallout+bioshock baby, psycho magic pinnochio, and watching terminator in D&D
