Second Place

[The DM]

The Strangers have arrived at the location of the second part of the Rod of Seven Parts. It apparently found it's way into the vault of Pasha Arim al-Fadir, one of the six most powerful efreet in existence who look after the Sultan's affairs on the Prime Material Plane.

After Pip appeared to trick the efreet guards away from their posts, our heroes opened the enormous vault doors to find the inside guarded by a monster of legend -- a giant, 8-headed hydra.

And it looks mad.

Now the Strangers must battle legendary creatures and Time itself, for how long will it take before the Efreeti discovers their deception, and how will they return to Arn if he does (if they survive their current dilemma)? The end is nigh, but is it the end of the Strangers' quest for the second part, or is it the end of the Strangers themselves?

Find out as we begin the final chapter of this adventure at 8:30 pm on Thursday, May 19th, over Klooge, and then conclude it at noon on Saturday, May 21st, at the DM's house!
