Previously: Review quests and head back to Conyberry
Day 36
Arrive Conyberry late in the evening. Camp is talking about Sheildmeet - Triboar summer festival cooking competition. Soem dance and drink some have crafts some reaffirm faith / duties. If we want to compete in the 'Hunt 'n' Eat' competiton, we need to be at Conyberry 10 days before Midsummer.
Triboar - Big Al and his nephew. Soldiers Cleric (old elf), grey orc, dragonborn, Gabledook Grumbold. Steve.
Steve is ploughing fields and digging up trees. Asking if we hvae made it our mission in Neverwinter - connected to a tree which is old and young at same time. Thinks that more of his tribe is coming.
There is a magical mystery bus from Conyberry to Triboar on day 47.
Banshee Quest - wood gets creepier as we go into the wood, there are fewer and fewer craetures, none at all in the centre. About 100 years ago she had Bowgentle's spellbook but she traded it. Bowgentle was a human mage who died at the age of 207, about 250 years ago. Bowgentle retired to live with elves. Worked for good of people. Spellbook stolen from Waterdeep. Tsernoth then traded book from Banshee in Secomber. He was necromancer in Iriaebor.
On way back look for Pixie’s Parasol. Anathema picks four with Shifra's help.
We head to Woodland Manse, as arrive it starts raining its about lunchtime. Betwen the trees is hung a dead animal. They were put there by fey quicklings who live at 2-3 times normal speed. The dead animal is old and they probably moved on by now. The animal was a boar.
Continue to Manse, surrounded by throny ivy. There are boars around. Keep smiles under control! Shifra is with us too. Asked to clear out evil epople using it. Also linked to Steve and elven ruins frmo Herdyr's backstory.
Lots of people inside, maybe orcs. The plants are weird. Pigs sometimes transform. The plants sometimes walk around and tries to take out the birds. Related to Thunder Pig?! Pumpkins are mostly but not completely normal. Shifra feels weird bits of magic. Symbol on the floor (three lightning bolts meeting at a centre). There are little wooden sprites and a wizard orc. On floor. Previous wizards potion's stuff is discarded.
The crow hears voices and skittering sounds. Upstairs thee are orcs plotting. x7.
The pigs - we have killed one and are battling another, which has just turned into a half-orc. There are two others entangled in front of us. There are another two coming round the side of the house. Anathema shot a cone fo fear to the two on the other side who ran away. We have not had any contact with those orcs indoors. Anathema made it into the house, got caught in trap on stairs then escaped. She is on the balcony looking down on us.
One of the entangled escaped and reached us. The one that was in front of us already is now dazed.
