Ravnica 4/22/21

Part of this recording is missing :( but suffice to say our heroes have reached the final encounter of this dungeon; Frankie peanuts himself. After defeating a brainwashed Alpha Wilm last session, the exit elevator opened to reveal a familiar face: Kambak, the consul of allocation from Kaladesh. Using the stolen planar portal, Frankie has been stealing help from all over the multiverse. Including the devious Kambal. So devious, in fact, he's willing to betray his master to help the winning side. Revivifying Alpha and choosing to take their risks with her sleeper cell kill phrase, they plug her ears like Odysseus and follow Kambal deeper into the building. He leads them through the personal quarters of all the Orzhov defectors and other co-conspirators who joined Frankie's gambit to hold Ravnica's economy hostage; only to find they have been slaughtered-- put to the sword by the same murderous automaton employed by their old nemesis; Justice of the Peace Margon Chaisse, who ran Udzec prison with an iron fist. It seems Frankie's loyalty is as fleeting as his investments. Sneaking past the deadly spectre-wielding robot, our heroes cross the threshold into a massive chamber where Frankie awaits them. Floating on the funicular, he had one last chat with them over the intercom. He laments that they've become enemies after he watched their careers blossom in Ravnica, especially Alpha who he mentored personally. But after all, this is business. And business ain't personal. Our heroes must face an empowered Frankie using the full cycle of stolen legendary artifacts from Eldraine, getting extraplanar help from the dragon Nicol Bolas. Using a swarm of thrulls to run interference, he wields the power of all his stolen riches and beings everything to bear against the party. In addition, a massive draconic arm reached through the Magic Mirror portal and stole away Massacre Girl, after she made short work of the traitorous Numskull (the goblin wizard and onetime lab assistant of Louis Zima). After MGirl was done with Numskull, she'd julienned him into a vase with her quick and deadly daggers. Luckily the party has also borne witness to the triumphant return of Tommy the Dimir spy, who crashed down through the skylight and revealed he's also been tailing frankie. He tells the party Frankie's weakness; a stolen mask of Sakashima empowering the equally stolen magic mirror of Eldraine. And thus, the stage is set; all the players in place and our battle begins (continues).
