As Adama, Glorianna, and Cedric are catching their breath on Sunev after having just escaped from the cold sandy red world, seven borg come through the gate. The party spies the creatures and runs off, looking to lead them to the giant creatures the group had encountered before. Cedric drags Adama, who levitates herself to reduce her weight.
Meanwhile, two days LATER on Oerth, Gamoth has gathered another group of adventurers for a rescue mission. Fifteen Borg had come through the Oerth gate very shortly after the heroes had entered. Angus MacLeod, the celtic druid of Mannon Mac Lir who was looking after the gate managed a series of call lightnings and the aid of various marine animals to deal with the threat, but afterward he cast stone shape to sealed up the gate in order to prevent more incursions (no WONDER the party couldn’t go back through!). Angus, however, had told Daniel O'Shea who had told the Bitches to contact Gamoth, but it took more than a week before anyone actually made contact with the Archdruid. Once Gamoth realized the problem, he used reflecting pool and scried Mikhail, seeing that the psionic druid was on the ethereal plane with only Marc. As a result, Gamoth sought out the most plane-experienced person he knew -- Brand and along the way gathered Rebecca H, Blackrobe, Woodenthighs, Dobby, Slee, Ashtabular, Ramu, Nikaris, Leia, Shyanna, and Celeni.
Before the heroes leave, Gamoth casts water breathing on everyone, and they go through the underwater gate once Angus clear it. Meanwhile, on watch to "cover their backs" are Angus, Daniel, Galatia, Aelvira, and Narrisa. The gate's mist color is maroon. The heroes go through and appear perfectly dry on a cold, red, sandy plain with an alabaster city in the distance. They are surrounded by ten borg.
Rebecca attempts to turn, which fails of course. Dobby recognizes that one has a protein disruptor and launches an arrow at him. The animals all leap to the attack, as does Woody in puma form.
Nikaris gets disrupted by his opponent. Leia gets stuck with assimilation tubules (they assume she’s sentient because she’s got a sword on her back). Another five borg show up.
Shyanna casts sundazzle on the two borg attacking Gamoth. The bright light shorts one borg’s eyepiece and destroys it. Dobby takes out one of the new incoming borg carrying a slingshot. He gets blasted by a disruptor and is stunned. Celeni also gets disrupted and goes down. Leia has gone berserk, and her borg attempts to assimilate her again. Gamoth gets assimilated.
Four more borg show up, one with a slingshot. Rebecca casts prayer, which fails, since she is cut off from her god on this world. Slee casts slow, catching nine borg. Gamoth collapses, as the assimilation process begins. Shyanna tries to call on Hanali Celanil to cure disease on Gamoth, but it fails.
Brand magic missiles the borg that took out Gamoth, slaying it out. He sees reinforcements coming in the distance, so he casts sunfire at them. That takes out three. One of the remaining ones has the protein disruptor, though. Shyanna stands guard while Rebecca pulls out a scroll of cure disease. Gamoth comes conscious and also tries to cast cure disease on himself, which fails. Slee casts lightning bolt at two of the incoming borg, including the one with a disruptor. It kills one, but not the one with the disruptor. Dobby recovers however and shoots at a slingshot borg, killing him. He then finishes off the one with the protein disruptor.
Rebecca uses her scroll to cast cure disease on Gamoth, saving him from assimilation. Unfortunately, just then Ramu gets assimilated. The heroes see eleven borg coming out of an alabaster city in the distance. Dobby starts shooting at the monsters. Slee casts acid bolt at a group of six. Ashtabular twitches her tail, and then there are six mirror images of her. She heads off toward the incoming borg.
Gamoth tries to get Ramu to head back through the gate so he can be cured, but Ramu collapses as the assimilation starts to take hold. Leia collapses as well. Woody heads off to take on more borg. Brand sunfires the six borg, killing five of them. Three more start coming in, one with a slingshot. They seem to be hesitant.
Brand casts timeheal on Leia, and it cures her of the assimilation. Ash and Lowdog mow through the incoming borg. Dobby starts firing at the slingshot borg and kills him. Slee takes out another with magic missiles.
Blackrobe uses his staff of curing on Ramu, curing him of assimilation. Slee gets blasted by the disruptor. Woodenthighs gets hit and assimilated. Dobby kills the remaining one. The rest of the borg milling around the city are hanging back, watching the party.
Woody collapses from assimilation. Blackrobe uses the staff of curing on him. Ramu sniffs around and determines that Cedric was here but didn’t stay around for long.
Slee and Dobby head back through the gate. It’s black and silver. It changes to dark blue. The party prepares to go through. Brand draws his sword of the planes and they enter. The arrive on golf-ball world, where twelve borg await, two with disruptors. Ash and Nikaris immediately leap on the borg with disruptors.
Blackrobe attempts to cast prayer and discovers it is also a dead world. It’s been dead for 10,000 years! The party meanwhile mows through the borg. Brand hits them with Aganzzar’s scorcher and they don’t last long. Ramu can’t pick up the other party’s trail here. It’s pretty much impossible to track on this world. Blackrobe assumes eagle form to do an aerial search. He finds it hard to fly in the rush of cold air. He notices the sun is “stuck” on this world. He passes over to the sunlit side and finds it completely inhospitably hot. He sees a city of glass in the distance. He heads back to report. Gamoth suggests going back through the gate.
The gate mist is pink and white. They end up on the desert world. The borg have gotten closer, but still distant. The heroes go through the gate when it’s deep purple and end up on Sunev.
---
Meanwhile, two day previously, the fleeing party members escape the borg pursuing them, but keep their distance and do not engage them. The borg track the party for a while and then head back toward the gate.
--
Two days later when Gamoth's party arrives on Sunev, they now have to face the seven borg plus three others that came through later. Two of the borg have protein disruptors. Blackrobe prepares to cast prayer (it works here!), Shyanna prepares sundazzle, and Gamoth prepares to faerie fire them all. The animals attack. Gamoth’s spell gets interrupted, as does Shayanna’s. Brand casts lightning bolt, killing the two borg on Gamoth. The heroes quickly finish off the remaining borg.
Woody picks up the other party’s trail and they find them shortly after. They gather up and get right back to Oerth.
Brand goes back through to capture a borg so they can take it to Eon for Andar to extract information.
Eeps: 2247 each (includes Dobby and Slee); 1500 each (everyone else)
Mission accomplished: 2000 each (not including Dobby and Slee)
