Session 43: A giant plan with a colorful distraction

It is CorellonEmber the 20th at around 9am.
 
We are talking to Aezlebov and he and Tempest have a confusing conversation about the weave. Faenor shows him the diamond half that we have. Aezlebov studies it and casts some spells on it.
 
We tell him about Pisou and ALL of Pisous plan. Azezlebov says if we can ge the rest of the shards, it might be able to absorb residual energies for the rift and sew the rift closed.
 
The shards would need to be in 2 halves for this though.
 
We discuss going back to Galvania to use the plinth to locate the other shards. Aezlebov is able to use the diamond to create a location spell to tell us where the remaining shards are. Lights point out on the map. He also creates a rod that can lead us to the shards once there so long as a spell slot if used.
 
There is one in New Galvania, Eldoria, and Lureamar. Dustera asks if we need to get to Lureamar. She says, her butler Lucian just visited and could fly us all there on Dinklewing. What the hell is a Dinklewing? She takes us out back to meet Lucian. He's a tiefling. He talks about Ash and how he doesn't like her.
 
She offers to escort us and then come back on her own. We would have to drink shrink potions to ride on Dinklewing.
 
We make the journey and get to the other side.
 
It's Corellonember the 21st around 9am. Dinklewing needs to rest
 
We find a place to rest. We're high in the mountains, and surrounded by clouds. Some of the cloud pieces are heavy fragments that we can step on. Faenor determines the may be a cloud giant palace. Tempest is like, "I'm totally gonna go check this shit out" and we all end up going with him.
 
We travel across a bridge and a cloud giant with two hill giants are on another bridge close by. He sends hawk because he thinks he hears something from where we are. Tempest casts a fog spell over us to give us cover, and we are able to hide. We try to convince Tempest that this is such a bad idea. The hill giants were decorated in beautiful jewels and armor.
 
Lufere is kind of on board now with pursuing them.
 
After a lot of arguing, it is decided that we will continue on.
 
we get into an open area and hide behind some busts as a couple of giants come down stairs
 
Tempest gets caught. The jig is up and the cloud giant asks us all to come out. He's actually very courteous. His name is Galong. Lyra ends up writing a haiku for him that she sells for a 300gp diamond.
 
We say our good byes. The cloud city floats up and away. We get back to Dinklewing and continue on our journey. We get to Ithilhithnal and land right outside the Shadowthorne mansion.
 
We meet a lot of the Shadowthorne family here. They are a strange lot. Dustera doesn't seem to really like any of them. A plant named Rupert tries to eat Leland, because it's grumpy due to a rash. Faenor heals the rash, and Rupert feels better.
 
We get some sleep. Dustera tells us that when we are done with Lureamar she will open the moon portal to Eldoria for us.
 
It is CorellonEmber the 23rd
 
We travel for about 8 hours to Lureamar. it's now roughly 5pm
 
WE use the rod to see if we can find the shard, and the rod is pointing east now. This means the shard is on the move. As we stop to rest 4 hours later, we find that the rod is pointing back at the city.
 
We decide to take a rest and try to figure it out in the morning. Leland falls asleep during his watch. When Faenor gets up from his trance, he finds that Leleand is gone. Very close to his bedroll is a mushroom circle. Well, shit.
 
We go after him. When we get there, we don't see Leland, but we see a pretty lady in the lake named Valera. She's looking for her friend, the color red. she says she will help us find Leland if we help her find red.
 
Meanwhile, Leland is lost in a sunflower field. He accidentally stepped on a sunflower and broke it. He props it back up and grafts it back together. It's pretty cute.
Leland eventually leaves the field and looks for tracks. He sees a woman who is made of wood and naked up ahead. Her name is Greta. She ends up charming the shit out of him and he decides to try and stay and protect her tree.
 
Meanwhile, we are looking for red. Lufere flies up to look for Azure to see if Azure has seen red anywhere.
 
WE meet a satyr and the color verdant. They tell us we need to walk in circles to get where we are going.
 
We meet a pseudo dragon with a scorpion tail named Benedict. He knows where the sunflowers are, but doesn't tell us. WE get to a pond and talk to Azure. He kind of says mean things about red. We find out that Red wanted to feel the wind and go for a swim. We notice a little red frog jump in the water. It's the first red we've seen.
 
Lufere turns into a Quipper and swims towards the little frog. REd comes up and talks to us. We convince red that it's one of the best colors and that Valera is looking for her, because right now, everything is dull and boring.
 
Valera gives us scarf that turns to butterflies to help us find Leland. We each get a butterfly a different color of the rainbow.
 
We make our way to Leland and find that he can't leave the dryad he is with. We convince her to let him go and we will try to get her first love Dermish back from hell if we can.
 
The butterflies open up a portal to get us back to our camp. This is where we end.
 
On our way to Lureamar to find the original shard that keeps moving.
 
 
It's CorellonEmber the 24th.
