 The situation devolves in quite adorable shenanigans for a bit, with Clark being denser than lead, and the others trying to convince them to wear the dress they found some sessions ago. The situation devolves in quite adorable shenanigans for a bit, with Clark being denser than lead, and the others trying to convince them to wear the dress they found some sessions ago.

 And with that, they finally enter a portal to Kesizma Proper. And with that, they finally enter a portal to Kesizma Proper.
  
-The cave they barely glimpsed when they met [[npc:Maal]] is gigantic and covered from bottom to top in gently light colorful  and round buildings spotted with lots of hanging gardens. Enormously relieved to be back home, Mauto brings them to a gigantic vaguely mushroom-shaped building that seems to work as a reception area for the human traffic of the portals.+The cave they barely glimpsed when they met [[npc:Maal]] is gigantic and covered from bottom to top in gently-lit colorful  and round buildings spotted with lots of hanging gardens. Enormously relieved to be back home, Mauto brings them to a gigantic vaguely mushroom-shaped building that seems to work as a reception area for the human traffic of the portals.
  
-There they meet first the Speaker for Rigasian Issues, an extremely girthy Anagusi man by the name of [[npc:Oleio]] that welcomes them to Kesizma and mentions they have been searching for their party for quite some time now on behalf of their new Valtshoran allies; and then [[npc:Ferret]] himself, who apparently has been in Kesizma getting a replacement arm, since he lost it during the bombing.+There they meet first the Speaker for Rigasian Issues, an extremely girthy Anagusi man by the name of [[npc:Oleia]] that welcomes them to Kesizma and mentions they have been searching for their party for quite some time now on behalf of their new Valtshoran allies; and then [[npc:Ferret]] himself, who apparently has been in Kesizma getting a replacement arm, since he lost it during the bombing. 
 + 
 +Ferret is delighted to see Gaia again (and vice versa), glad to see Maelle, very confused about the Clark situation, and trying to do his best about the Ariyadna one. 
 + 
 +But then the situation turns sour because Rigasia has managed to worm its way into the Kesizman Ngag and they start things as they often do, by unleashing a powerful explosive through the portals.   The party only knows this because the resulting shockwave shatters every fragile object in the terminal, leaving most people there deaf in the best case. 
 + 
 +Except for everyone who was right next to Ariyadna, who had time to raise some kind of shield to protect them. 
 + 
 +Maelle rushes to the portals to check what happened, alongside Derek, and they learn that the Rigasians have started to portal in tanks and started mowing on the Anagusi war beasts. 
 + 
 +Inside the terminal, Gaia and Clark try to stabilize Mauto, who was already very tired, running on fumes and drugs, and fell down wrong hitting her head. They manage to make the best of what they have, but the woman is still unconscious. 
 + 
 +Gaia notices that Oleio has started pacing around and walking and suddenly notices that he's using the Great Dream to actually talk to other people and coordinate a defense, which she considers quite cool. 
 + 
 +Soon they have to face three ela-GAT that crash into the terminal ready to take the place, but Clark wields the glove again and the fight is on. Two of the tanks are halfway frozen, and Maelle decides to go for broke, jumps on one of them, opens the hatch and dispatches the gunner before the driver panics and starts running through walls to dislodge them. 
 + 
 +Clark finds themself having to run from the other half-frozen tank and manages to avoid its bullets by taking refuge behind a concrete pillar. 
 + 
 +And Gaia tries to make contact with the whatever it is that resides in the tank cores, raising Oleia's attention who is equal parts fascinated and horrified. This does nothing to stop the tank though, so they are about to be shot up. 
 + 
 +And then the tanks dissassemble into their constituent pieces becoming nothing more than a sorted heap of pipes, metal pieces, and screws to the horror of their crew. 
 + 
 +Every single person in the terminal looks agape as three Umichooans in perfectly immaculate white clothes walk through the area, disassembling the tanks, repairing all damage, healing the wounded, and raising the dead without saying a word, and then going outside to do the same to every single participant in the battle. 
 + 
 +And then they stand there in the middle of the chaos and say: "This war is against the Law. It is over now" 
 + 
 +For the post-credits scene, we finally got the party reunited with their loved others in Zwosta, and it was the most heartwarming collection of moments in the entire campaign so far.
