Session 19

The party travels from the Queen's Estate to the nearby mountainside where the Colossus had slumped to the ground. They want to see if he is awake yet. It still lies there, moss growing over his stone body. Solomon pulls out the bottle containing the Spectral Seer, who tells them the Colossus has passed away and asks if Solomon will perform the ritual to let the Seer inhabit the Colossus's body. Mnimi thinks it might not be a good idea and goes up and knocks on the stone body as if to wake it up just in case it isn't dead. Senara thinks it's okay as long as this puts the Seer in their debt, and reminds the group that Endry built this body to be immortal.

Solomon eventually agrees to perform the ritual. He pours the Seer's bottle, containing all the ingredients he had been collecting over their travels, into the open mouth on the colossus's face, then performs the hand motions and says the arcane words as instructed by the Seer. Purple mist flows out of the bottle, swirls around the statue and the party, then slips inside the mouth. A few moments later the colossus stirs, shaking and stretching itself.

The seer is overjoyed to finally be in corporeal form, and confirms he owes them a great debt. He confirms he is still a Seer when asked, saying he just saw a sparrow die in the southern forest. He tells of how he died centuries ago but was cursed to live in his misty spectral form in that bottle. He doesn't want his new body to be widely known, and wanders off into the Western mountains to enjoy his new life, but bids them find him if they are in need.

They return to the estate and head out again the next morning for the nearby river where scouts had reported the remains of a slaughter. On the way, a woman in a pointy hat, carrying a bright sickle flies overhead, screaming that the clouds are making it too dark and declares there will be no night today.

In the evening they find the remains of a grisly battle along the river. Bodies in blackened mail lie in the mud, crushed and smashed as if by an immense weight. They find huge footprints all over the riverbank. They also find the body of a knight in spiked mail with a large maul and his steed beside him, all crushed like the others. Mnimi takes the spiked maul with her, adding it to her arsenal. The mood grows disheartened as they survey the carnage, but Prentise takes it the worst. Mnimi talks to him. He has seen blood before but not this scale of destruction, when something as large as the colossus steamrolls its enemies. He also has an existential crises realizing that as he is prophesied to become a Seer and may one day lead people to their deaths just by his sightings and advice.

That night the sun never sets behind the overcast sky. No one sleeps much that night. On their way back to the estate, they pass through a field of scattered, crooked rocks adorned with slimey rune-shaped inscriptions in a language none of them understand. Yet in their minds they somehow know these runes mean, "the truth in time." Senara scrapes off some of the slime in a handkerchief or rag and takes it with her.

Several weeks pass as Winter and the Feast of the Moon approach. Nights return; it was only the one night which did not grow dark. Mnimi spearheads the building of a small dock at the lake that formed in the river when the great tree fell. Ezter disguises himself as a fallen Eliadoran soldier Kerensa has in her dungeon, travels to Eliadoran army and fosters a contact in the person of General Ozwain of Eliador. He is a young soldier, so much so it seems odd he is already a general. Mnimi Ezter is falling out of knightly duty and doing this more to enrich himself than any nobler, more knightly motive.

Solomon is instrumental in healing a certain blacksmith at the Temple of Healing. The blacksmith now owes him a favor.

Senara seeks out the mystic anteater again and this time it speaks with her. She learns it fell here from the Cloud Realm back before the Tree fell. It tells her of a ritual to return it back to the Cloud Realm. Following its instructions, she lights a bonfire and sets the anteater on top of the fire. It rises up into the air on magical smoke and disappears among the clouds. Senara takes the ashes from the fire and treating Ku-To with them, causes the cursed blade within him to dissolve and allow him to recover. She then departs for parts of the realm occupied by Eliadorans and works to prove she has what it takes by trying to foment a rebellion among the common people against the Eliadorans.

Next time: the Feast of the Moon!

People can use star wars rpg stats for there campaigns

Still doesn't rise to "playable," since they are neither standard WEG templates for PCs nor NPCs (and there's a lack of readily used templates for NPCs in WEG). And there are no standard template PCs in FFG. I can't speak to d20 nor SAGA.

What you have is an idea for an adventure, not an adventure proper. Nothing runable from what you've written. To be blunt, for me to use it would take more effort than writing my own adventure... and I am prepping for a WEG campaign.
Not saying it's a bad idea, but it's hardly up to even WEG's lax standards. It's a start. But you need to flesh out the encounters, stat up the foes (in one or more systems), and focus less on big universe elements and on actual at-the-table usable data.

Even RuneQuest doesn't have rules for this.

RQ 3 had weapon breakage, and no exceptions noted for magic items. Page 35-36 of the Vol 1 of the GW edition, pages 57-58 of book 1 of the AH version. Magic weapons are resistant to the weapon shattered result.

Only in systems with weapon breakage rules.
