The Forty-eighth Session commenced with the party surrounded by Eriquat bloodcasters. Before them lay the shattered corpse of Shardenzar. The creatures immediately began to bubble over with blood that spewed from their bodies forming a bloody sphere enveloping everyone in the party. The damage was horrific and the rescued Jalindi dropped unconscious from the assault.
The Blood Bath
The party, drenched in blood were all stunned save Obsidian Black and the First Nightshade of Aspan. The latter exploded into action and deftly sliced two of the bloodcasters apart. Their blood splashed to the ground and evaporated within moments. Meanwhile, Obsidian Black rushed toward the corpse of Shardenzar, but not before unleashing his Draconic Aura. This left most of the bloodcasters in a state of awe as he made his move.
Obsidian whispered to the coin he had received from Shetani the Defiler, "He is prepared", and cast the coin into the air.
That very moment the bloodcasters ceased all movement as Shetani the Defiler and four Nether World materialized around the corpse of Shardenzar. Shetani laughed in delight. "You are so good to deal with," he said to Obsidian, "so quick to meet your end of the bargain. Now, what was our deal again?"
Obsidian reminded Shetani that he would gather the bloodcasters and return them to the Nether World. Agreeing that a deal was a deal, Shetani raised a crystal likeness of Shardenzar from his corpse. Then he, his trio of demon companions, a statue of Shardenzar, and the four remaining bloodcasters all faded to mist.
The Twin Towers
As the demons vanished Mira Nephilim jumped to the role of party healer and began restoring the party's health. Panamon Cree jumped to the role of the party's loot-ninja and raced to the corpse of Shardenzar, quickly yanking an amulet from the stringy twisted mess that was once Shardenzar's neck. "Seize the power," said a voice inside Panamon's head which was unmistakably the voice of Æski.
Panamon donned the amulet, and glancing toward the Towers of Eriquat could see the locations, colors, and dimensions of the various wards protecting the towers from anyone who was not of the council. Dodging moving wards, Panamon flew (levitated?) to one of the tower balconies and entered what was formerly Shardenzar's study. There he was greeted by a clay golem who informed him that the council was in session and awaiting his arrival.
The Game is All But Lost
The council chamber featured a nonagonal table with a filled chair at each edge. The spellcasters Nickar and Zoranthar sat to the left and right of an empty chair. To the left sat three Sewochi of different appearances. To the right sat three insectoid creatures of a like that Panamon Cree had never seen.
"You have changed your appearance," said one of the Sewochi, telepathically.
Panamon explained that it was his magic. "And you have changed your voice," said a different Sewochi creature.
Panamon assured him that it was strong magic. "And you have changed your mind," said the third.
"It's very strong magic," claimed Panamon as he continued the ruse without pause. "Now what of my friends here, have they brought any business to the council?"
The council explained that it appeared to them that his friends (Nickar and Zoranthar) were on a journey and not in their heads. Understanding, Panamon asked what business the council had, and the business was to console him on the loss of the game. The council assured Panamon that he was a "good player" and would be spared destruction when Otan was destroyed. They then speculated where they might headquarter the Council of Six.
[[Panamon explained to the council that the game wasn't over yet. Then he fished for clues as to what the game was about in the first place. This inquiry led to offers of consolation mixed with laughter about the plight of humanity which was soon to be over. With the meeting concluded, the Sewochi moved off to their rooms, and the insectoid creatures simply vanished.
Upon Panamon's return, Obsidian had dumped the rest of Shardenzar's considerable loot for the party to examine and divide. Hedgewind soon teleported the party back to Jalinbeti to unwind from the day's events.

Panamon instructed Zhanik Zaure to focus on crops that allow for maximum yields in a short season to feed the population quickly and for next season to prepare a mix of high protein crops with another half of high income-producing crops.
Panamon instructed Saduakas Yermek to focus on recruiting artificers and magic shops to open in town and promote the province as an excellent place to do business with reduced taxation for magical suppliers/creators.
