Portals, Lost Love, and Loomlurch

by Violet Raine

We revisit Nib and he makes a cool magic item for our Birdman. We decide to go to a few more of the toadstool/fairy circles. We go to one full of lued toadstools that are jerks. We trap one in a jar and attempt to reassemble the fairy circle to re-activate the portal. It doesn't work. We head toward another fairy circle by Loomlurch and we encounter a mushroom that is basting itself in butter at a goblin's request while he gathered firewood. We tell him the goblin wants to eat him and we take the mushroom with us to save it. The next fairy circle has non-animated mushrooms and it takes us to a forest, at night, in a different plane maybe? We go out in the forest to explore and encounter a caravan of people speaking a language we cant understand. They reluctantly invite us into the camp and sort of draw that the portal works at dawn to go back. We go back through the portal in the morning and head up to Loomlurch to rescue more kids. A Dryad stops us on the way and we explain that we are not working for the hag. She gives us some pass without a trace seeds to apologize. At Loomlurch, the hag is waiting for us and tries to get us to do work for her. She wants us to stop or interfere with a play, find the unicorn horn that her sister lost, and something i cant remember. We decline and leave. She says that we will regret rejecting her offer.
