The veil shifts. Syzygy approaches.

Plot Synopsis

THE END IS NIGH.
Through investigation/trial and error, our adventurers discovered that the sun - an enormously powerful source of elemental energy - would throw out a flare causing a series of devastating natural apocalypses through the planets and their moons.
(Later they would learn that this was to renew the cycle of life, to protect the planet from civilization's destructive advancement).

They devised and schemed - the people could not leave the plane - and eventually came to the idea of using Conversion (Magnetism 16) to attempt to absorb the power of the flare.

They enmassed and flew into space, as the hour drew near; the planets slowly drifted into alignment. With the conjunction of 20 celestial elemental cores, the expected energy surge violently erupted forth, slamming directly into our brave adventurers.

The plan failed.

Like balloons overfilled, the power spike overwhelmed their physical capabilities, and they poofed out of existence... or would had they not made a contingency, and so were planeshifted back to Jaern and reformed.

They returned to the planet to find the lightning storms marking the beginning of the end in full strength. So more insane ideas were plotted, involving tunneling underground to protect the people from the storms. At this point, about 60% of the population was still alive. So our heroes, being the noble people that they are, began looting the abandoned cities. Forgetting that they were leaving the civilians unguarded against the devouring shadows that marked the next stage of destruction.. causing the death of all but 2. One of which was promptly sacrificed to the other by the adventurers.

A few days and more destruction later, the gods returned to their cleansed planet. They were met by the adventurers, and after some explanations were given, our adventurers returned home, content with the experience of such an event.
