Jothilda Oakenfoot
Jothilda Oakenfoot (a.k.a. Jo)
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Jo is a tan dwarf whose freckles adorn her face like the constellations in the night sky. She has an average dwarven figure, standing at 4'4" at about 135 lbs. Her skin has a warm, earthy tone, reminiscent of the rich hues of fertile soil bathed in sunlight.
Body Features
As is tradition in her family, shoes are not worn. The hard work and manual labor has caused her hands and feet to be very rough and callused.
Facial Features
The freckles are diverse in size and shape, some small and delicate like distant stars, while others are more prominent, resembling prominent star clusters or nebulae.
Her eyes shine like polished amber glimmer with an unwavering connection to nature. They are filled with a sense of wonder and a hint of mischief, reflecting her ever-curious spirit.
Apparel & Accessories
When first learning how to use weapons, Jo became enamored by a Yklwa she had found in one of her archaeological excursions under Hammerfall. While it is basically a less efficient spear, the shorter length works for her better than the regular spear and she just loves it.
Mental characteristics
Mental Trauma
During one of the end of the year festivals some bully's led by one hatefully referred to as 'Pirate Pete' who almost drowned a couple of us. Elias still has a fear of water from the incident.
Once we gained control of the incident, Jo pushed Pete into the water in anger to try and teach him a lesson. Unfortunately, when she went to pull him out of the water she couldn't find him.
He died and the incident continues to haunt her.
Jo feels a calling to learn more about the lost Circle of Stars Druids. Her freckles appear as constellations, reflect not only her connection to the cosmos but also her profound bond to the earth and its living creatures.

NPCs Kree and Sidia
Approaching Abriymoch in the center of a volcano, we make our way towards the diabolical courts
We rent a metal gondola to navigate this volcanic city.
We see Jaren Silverleaf. Jo invests another 1000gp into his business. He joins our boat and we reunite with our party at the courts
We go to cancel the grievance and Jo ends up paying 900gp to cancel the grievance and sends a note with it notifying Jack that Dermish approved his transfer and the next soldiers shoulder he pats on the 1st layer becomes the new maintenance man.
Franz buys the remaining ritual wizard lvl 1 spells, Jo buys Unseen Servant for Dermish.
Ash gets a vibrating emblem that will let us know that we have 15 minutes until we are called for the courts
Delto, Dermish’s friend, leads us to the casino. Buy in is 1000gp that we cannot afford. He offers to spot us the buy in and we recommend Panfyr to play for the money.
Our goal is to win 5000gp in 3 dragon ante
We lose the first round but Franz won 100o so we play another round and Panfyr is able to get a goblin and win 7000. Delto gets 1500, we give Jaren 400o to unlock uncommon items. We each get 200 accept Franz he gets 300 for some reason.
We go to the courts, but we aren’t super persuasive.
We lose but Daals forges a document saying he lost.

Session 58 - Lore Dumps
5th of Corellonember 1083
Corellonember 5, 1083
Currently in the 3rd later.
On our way through the portal, it closed before Elias, Panfyr and Jo could get through.
Bael escourted us to the claims desk so we could file a grievance.
Elias and Panfyr were able to convince an alien bug (dressed like a whore) named Rolo to get us to the front of the line E line where we filed the grievance about the closed portal against Jack the maintenance man. We all signed, asked for a copy and were told to come back later and wait in the G line.
We then found our way towards Jacks house to try and get him to fix the portal. He almost agrees but then an imp serves him the grievance.
Elias and Jo were able to convince him to open the portal by agreeing to drop the grievance once we get to the courts.
The forth layer burns. Belile and Fierna, the brother and sister who run this layer, we see at the tower 10 min away. They like Titivilus but not Dispater. We really should’ve had an escort. Did I mention it is hot here.
Fierna once tried to rope Elias into a massive orgy. Belile does not like him.
We end up having to handcuff ourselves. There were only 2 free handcuffs so a poor draw lady is now suffering.
We are in Fiera’s palace and she wants us to join her orgy. Elias takes the brunt of it to save Jo the displeasure. She tauntingly/sexually offers Elias her lance to poke a unicorn. Elias tries to discern if one of the unicorns is Luru.
A tortured unicorn named Sika asks Elias for his help. She was taken from Rimstone reach. She learned that the only way to break the curse is to gather the stones. Luru is trapped between the material and the fey planes.
She watched a group cast a spell trapping Mielikki. The Salphinites. The goddess’ avatar was mortal looking for Luru with too much of her power. They trapped her in a Mythallar deep below Adenaziel. That’s where their divine magic comes from. They are sifening it from her.
She also says that Andromeda is now merged with the shard Elias’ dad found having jumped on it in a moment of explosion to protect Miriam. His soul is now merged with it. Elias’ dad needs Marian for some reason.
She then asks Elias to kill her to put her out of her misery even offering her horn. He couldn’t get himself to do it and freed her with Glycia’s help instead. Belile then opened a portal for her hoping that Fiera would get real mad and take it out on Elias.
Elias is able to fake that Sika escaped and attacked him on the way out.
Belile then gives us directions to Aberamok, where we need to go and gives Sidia a pendant and she becomes our escort.
Sidia, our escort, is actually from the under dark city beneath New Galvania. She is like a vampire She learned the true name of a devil named Nyden. Her sisters didn’t approve of her dealings with devils opposed to demons. Specifically the Blood God Rake. And tricked her causing her to end up here for the last few years.
Minzeza, her mother matron, is the actual spire. Her house is Zanthien one of the 4 houses guarding the ziggurat.
The ziggurat has weird power that the drow are unable to access, that’s why they ally with the magnus’ they are able to experiment with it.
She has been here for 100 years but it’s actually only been a week our time. She knows about the plan to sacrifice the prison folk because the Rake gets unpredictable and uncontrollable when he gets hungry.
Kancelsis aka Malstract. 487 layer of abyss lesser god of vampires. Rooms are sculpted of living flesh and looks half-elfish.
He is both sides of vampires powerful berserker and expert in debauchery.
We hear a scream nearby. A human hung torturously.
We want to help but Jo sees something big nearby and says they fear it’s a trap.
Mayhem flies up to get a better look. Panfyr unlocks her and Elias levitates her down. She was an unwilling human sacrifice to save her village.
An Ice Devil claims her soul as his. Jo tries to offer their fossilized githyanki egg as a trade but he refuses and we enter initiative.
We kick its ass, Jo did go down temporarily
Knee thanks us for saving her
Mythyl was used to make cities float mythillar is the battery
We spend some time debating what we will do once we get back to the material plane.
Elias wants to make sure that his mother is safe. Jo promises to scry on her once we return but after a long rest Jo uses divination to figure out what’s happening to Mariam
The divination contacts some evil god and Jo is able to bargain with the deity to cure the fossilized egg and give up the living one.
They will be sisters.
Jo theorizes that they were speaking to Shar.
Long rest is achieved, goodberry is cast and we continue on.

Session 57 - Dermish Visited!
Corellonember 5, 5:30pm
NPCs: Light, Eloi
Outside of Anastas approaching
The town is weak and recovering.
Large man with giant cloak, a pit fiend. It’s Ipt, he’s here to serve us for Mamon’s court.
The summons engulf us in flames taking us to the top of Tiamat’s tower in the city of Avernus first layer of hell.
Dermish is here! He’s been here like 50 years but only aged a few.
The demons are trying to take over this rift that mirrors the rift on the material plane.
Dermish leads us escorted by pit fiends up to the chained city held by Gruumsh (the demon) to visit his friend Vore an arcanaloth. We were in this library of Daniel Copper books before.
We go to Gruumsh to try and get him to let us into the second layer of hell. The court is on the fourth layer.
He wants Franz’ soul but is amiable to making a deal that he would get Franz’ soul the instant he uttered Avelora’s true name. Dermish decides to make him kneel instead.
Combat starts, Grazzt is ‘fair’ in only asking us to fight two Glabrazu guard of his before renegotiating with us. Nalfeshnee also hang in the background. We will probably have to fight them next.
We start doing well against the Glabrazu, Franz ‘accidentally’ hits Grazzt causing him to enter the fray. The tides start turning against us… Hyadr gets dominated we start taking a lot of damage, Ash gets grabbed and stabs a magic dagger paralyzing him causing him to fall a few floors. She follows trying to get the dagger back. Isolde showed up and teleported the 3 of them out of there to the Feywild.
The remaining Glabrazu gives Franz and Jo 2 chests with 200gp each. He also says he knows how to work the portal.
Ash tries to convince Isolde to let her take the dagger. It looks like Grazzt is now mortal.
How did she get here so fast?
Radiant Lochmarch - the first paragon, the dagger Ashe got from Eloi steals powers from paragons and grants them to the weirder
Somehow Franz convinces her to hand over the dagger and gives it back to Ash.
Elias summons Glacia but she is not interested in more responsibility. We realize there are many imps listening and now know about the dagger. We leave Ipt in charge of the portal and upon going through the portal tell Titivillus that if Dispator wants it he can have control of both the 1st and 2nd layers.
Franz mispronounces Titivillus’ name and loses a finger to him. It’s thanks to Dermish that he only took a finger and not his life.
Ashe gives him a rotten finger and he agrees to escourt us through mamon’s layer to the next portal.
We realize all our food and wine is rotten.
Jo gets a vial of water from the river Styx
Elias has an encounter with one of his dad’s previous torturers who lets us know that he has a shard of the sundering and is back with Maryon.
We make it to Mamon. He asks us to pick his tie.
Then says we are character witnesses for him.
He then starts complaining to Elias about not paying for his deal. Panfyr finds a loophole in the contract that Elias can defer payment indefinitely despite not.
We end up making a deal, contract and all, to kill the living flame for him within 2 months (material plane time)
(He has an assistant named Darren)

Session 56
Corellonember 4. 5pm
Currently in the Shadowfell.
NPCs: Eloi
We decide to head to the temple of the Raven Queen since Stobri said she was the one who allowed her to pass back and forth
The grey elf is a Shadar-Kai and currently is going by the name Skip.
Jo casts speak with plants to cause all the brambles blocking the stairs to the top of the Parthenon. At the top there is a cloak on the ground and Jo puts it on. Putting on the hood causes the cloak to turn into feathers.
Behind Jo a raven named Michael speaks. We ask if the Raven Queen can get us back to New Galvania on Aelsh. He says he can ask but wants an offering. Jo offers the Rainbow orb from the thieves guild.
We take a short rest while Michael goes to ask. Comes back and says we are all good but we are still in the shadowfell.
An orc approaches, Hyadr goes to approach. It’s Myadr, Hyadr’s brother who is here to kill him.
Good thing we short rested. Jo also healed Hyadr some. Myadr then begins to lead us to the portal saying that you have to know the way.
He wants to fight and kill Hyadr so bad! “You were too weak and it will be the downfall of the village” “You weren’t supposed to be kicked out, you were supposed to be sacrificed” The Black Wing Tribe has been annihilated and Myadr is here to petition the Raven queen to bring them back from the Fugue plain so their spirits can search for Gruumsh. He believes, seeing Hyadr here that he needs to kill Hyadr to get his call answered.
He leads us to the portal. Thankfully thanks to the short rest and Jo’s healing he is back to full HP. Panfyr sets up the ring. Jo asks if he would want us to interfere if it starts to look bad, he doesn’t, so we decide we won’t.
Upon striking, Hyadr’s weapon becomes a +2 and begins to speak to him. “Ahhh, it’s been so long”
Myadr crit fails and loses his weapon.
Hyadr adds poison to the weapon.
Hyadr crit fails and Myadr grabs hold of the weapon. The weapon kills Myadr though ending the conflict.
Hyadr is still processing what just happened but Panfyr loots the body.
Turns out the cloak belonged to Hyadr’s father so Jo gives it to him and it is a cloak of protection.
We realize the halberd is speaking to Hyadr (or at least Hyadr speaks to it) and theorize it might be cursed
We build a pyre for Myadr following Hyadr’s loose instructions and attempt a funeral
Hyadr does his best to follow the funeral rites.
Myadr’s soul comes out and says “You have to save our family” before being sucked off
We go through the portal and return to our sitting positions along the Druid tree
(The cloak of protection is named Raven Down and the Halberd is akin to the Blood Speer in Curse of Strahd)
Corelloneber 5 10am
We begin planning our next steps
We debate stopping at Jura, a town on our way back to the twin villages. They used to be holy but have been corrupted by the Magnuses over time.
We think the town is filled with death nights. Undead creatures that sacrificed their lives to the cause
We realize Franz is missing and is with Lyra (the Saturday group) they were able to take down one death knight but this town of Jura has at least 4.
We decide to go for Jura and the Death Knights, sending the 15 werewolves towards the twin cities to scout and find what they can about the Pyramids (source of the Magnus’ power) and the entrance to the under dark. 4 families in the under dark guard the pyramid.
Trevor and Simond and our horses went with the Werewolves
4pm we arrive at Jura
NPCs Eloi and Light are with us
Rakus, Sarkus, Glongul, Limar - The knights of Jura who watch us
Mokli - 30’s man who helped us learn about the town
The knights left to Balen Village to guard the Magnus’ during the Red party. They left this day and the party will last a few days. Supposedly the Magnus’ are not currently in their castle.
Mokli’s wife (Linda’s) brother usually goes with the knights to assist with the guard but didn’t this time as he is sick.
Daredrick (brother) Jo cured of his illness. He is well off thanks to his birth. You are born into wealth or poverty and the only way to change it is to get lower via marriage.
He was hoping to get into the inner circle. Regular invite is red, upper class invite is white. Daredrick was hoping to get into the inner circle this year but couldn’t because he got sick.
Kanchelsis (Rake)a Bonvenoh - blood beast that attacked the mining encampment in Jura, drinks and drinks and drinks blood. Has a duality and has been attacking the mines in Anastas. The Magnus’ have now been moving the miners. Layer of the Beast, Mansion of the Rake Layer 487 of the Abyss lord.
Mordenkainen shows up and gives us invitations to the red party. One invitation is white for the inner circle the rest are general red. He says that Zozth (Elias’ ancestor) is going to tear the world once the shards are reassembled. (Saturday has already found and reassembled many shards)
Mordenkainen says that we could get a shard back at this party, not the one we lost but another.
We theorize that Pete has a shard as there is a chance that the demons overflowing is what is disrupting the balance Mordenkainen cares about.
6pm Mordenkainen teleports us to Anastas with our 2 NPCs

4 NPCs Eloi, Sivor, Tremond and Light and 7 remaining horses
We go to the guard towers to see if something happened.
We see a conflict between a guard captain and the guard on duty Jim who skipped his shift to get drunk.
We witness him get fired by Captain Chil (one L) and talk to him. Turns out he’s also into smuggling.
Possessions aren’t allowed here and people are assigned work and aren’t payed for it. The government provides all the food and necessities.
We get him to show us his passport that has his personal information and description as well as a specific stamp for Anastas. Every city has a different official stamp.
As we approach the Jaunty Leghole we see a bunch of people exiting the bar.
Inside there is a Magnus vampire spawn Franz knows, Rifer, who bullied him as a child, who is holding up the bartender with one hand before impaling him on his taxidermied moose and holding a sword to his chest.
4:00pm
We decide to walk into the bar. Rifer immidiately recognizes Franz and taunts him saying that he kept his mom as a trophy for a while. Franz then initiates combat.
By holding Franz Rifer is able to use him as a shield causing one of Hyadr’s strikes to hit him inadvertently.
We bloody him and he runs. We are able to prevent him from taking Franz.
Jo, Hyadr and Gluum were able to lower the bartender, Barley, from the antlers, Jo healed him and Panfyr started interrogating him.
Rifer was looking for us but is also known to check the prison when he visits. We begin to consider freeing the prison as soldiers against the Magnus’
Franz tries to Ray of Frost Barley but accidentally hits Ashe.
Mayor Rimnoff picks able bodied people to send to the prison mines to do slave labor for Captain Chil in the mines. Mayor has a wife and 3 kids La, Vin and Der.
Chil has no family and has hardly ever been seen away from his post at the prison.
Panfyr kills Barlet.
Jo switches the open sign to closed and we all go upstairs to begin planning our prison break.
5pm
We go back to Rayson and his wife’s house to long rest before our prison break
Franz and Jo take first watch, Franz sees someone in a white cloak.
Bats wolves and spiders begin attacking the town. We try and make our way out and almost make it before being found by a group of villagers fearing for their families lives. Franz convinces them to fight with us. Jo then stands with the villagers deciding to make a stand to help them and gather potential allies.
Eloi, realizes we were going back to help, guides us through the sewers to the center of town where a glowing red ooze was around a pipe that seemed to be allowing the creatures into town. Panfyr tries to put it into the bag of devouring and ends up charmed by it.
Session 51 -
Ravenqueensea 30, 1093 5:00pm
4 NPCs Eloi Sivor and Tremond (currently paralyzed) and Light and 7 remaining horses
Eloi is the only NPC with us.
We spend 2 hours turning one diamond into 300gp of diamond dust. We use a third to cure Tremond of his paralisis.
We spend the night in the whistling church.
Jo asks Pastor Jimmy to ask Lathander if he knows anything about Mielikki’s disappearance.
Corellonember 1, 1093
We decide to check out the twin city Anastas to give Tremond another day to rest. He declares he wants to come with us so we decide to just move onward and pass through Anastas and see what it’s like.
We make it to the bridge between the towns and Jaren Silverleaf is there about to go in to sell his wares
We have access to everything 100gp or less at a 25% discount.
The bridge has gargoyles and they murder Fred.
Naturally we take revenge.
Panfyr’ a bow accidentally unstrings. She gets real upset about it but Jo strings it back up and toss’s it to her.
Vampiric mist/gel comes out of the water attacking us
2 Gargoyles hide under the bridge.
We decide to go into town anyway
We see a guy run from us in the street and follow him home.
The man has a newspaper that Jo gets after Panfyr pays him a gold for it.

Ravenqueensea 30, 1093 4:30pm
4 NPCs Eloi Sivor and Tremond (currently paralyzed) and Light and 7 remaining horses
Eloi is the only NPCs with us for this mission.
We still aren’t sure if we are going to rob Elrich. But we decide to impersonate the hired wizard who lives alone on the grounds and pin it on him.
Hyadr grinds up some mushrooms into a powder (the ones that make you real depressed)
Jo uses pass without trace to keep the group hidden as we approach.
Panfyr sleeps a guard and ties him up to a nearby tree, blindfolds and gags him. Does this twice, does it thrice! Does it 4 times! All four corners of the mansion.
As a group we approach the wizards lab.
Franz disguises himself as a guard and knocks on the wizards door. The rest of us are out of sight around the corner. Max is his disguised name.
As Franz’ ruse starts to fall apart, Elias sneaks closer to the door and gets ready to shoot. Astrigal is the name Franz gives his friend and has Elias join him inside where Elias changes his accent and proves himself a sleep expert with one of the stale sleep cookies.
Eventually, Elias tires of the ruse and hits him with a dagger. Franz follows suit with magic missile it’s not enough.
The wizard opens a box that contains some kind of creature. Many tentacles fill the room.
We roll initiative.
Panfyr is able to knock the wizard out. Tentacles from the chest begin to wrap around the mage. She then runs up to the box.
Elias runs up to the box and attempts to close it but tentacles wrap around his wrist stopping him before he can finish the arcane rune combination.
Hyadr throws a poison mushroom into the chest of tentacles, seems to be a portal somewhere. He then attacks some of the tentacles
Jo thorn whips the remaining vines and pulls Elias away from the chest. And archers the chest but it fails to hit.
Franz thunderwaves the chest throwing it through the wall but also closing it.
Elias uses the arcane pattern to seal the chest shut.
Franz disguises himself as the wizard and speaks with the 4 guards and guard captain. 3 guards take Elrich off premises.
Franz with the help of Elias convinces the other guards to leave while Franz cleans up and fixes up Elias’ smokiness.
Jo stabilizes the wizard.
Franz decides to keep the ‘tentacle box’ in his stocking of holding.
Waking up the wizard he sees the smoke and desperately asks for his coat potion.
Seems like the smoke becomes more tentacles but Elias also has them. He ultimately drinks the potion and the guy turns into tentacles.
Jo finds his Nydn Harabo’s journal and it speaks about his nightmare of a tentacle sea god worshipped by the local Koatoa.
They give the journal to Hyadr.
Franz put the ‘tentacle box’ in his stocking of holding opening a rift into the astral plane desroying his stocking and sucking all it’s contents into the astral plane
Ashe studies the rift. Franz moves the guards away from the rift to save them while also adding to his ruse as Nydn as the culprit.
Jo finds a secret door into a small room with a chest. Elias opens chest with mage hand revealing gold and a pouch of sneezing and wheezing.
Panfyr finds another secret door leading into a study.
Franz takes a handwritten book on nautical stars and navigation.
Panfyr opens a locked chest but triggers a trap in the chest. And falls asleep.

There is a trapped chest, Panfyr fails to open it but Elias does and finds the ledger of what was taken from whom.
Magnus’ get a cut. There is a secret compartment, with another pillow and glasses of minute seeing.
Franz keeps the 2 cloths and pillows
There’s an indoor greenhouse but the plants are just there for show, Elrich used to bring women here to impress them but even the plants could tell that he made the women uncomfortable.
Ashe, studying the rift can tell that something is staring back at her through the rift. She asks his name but is unable to comprehend any but John which was a name granted by a previous disciple. (Previous campaign character reference for Randi) Schrodingers understanding it is both expanding and not expanding… so she understands that she understands nothing… so she makes some concave/convex drawing in an attempt to convert what she is seeing….
Elias starts to get sucked in by Ashe. Franz thunder waves them 10ft from the portal. Jo casts daylight on a rock that seems to hurt the 5th dimensional beings in Ashe’s POV and throws it into the portal.
Elias nat 20’s and feels like he can control the tentacles now. When he atks he now freely thornwhips with every attack.
Jo attempts to dispel the portal. This confuses jo as it feels like suddenly they are trapped in a 3 dimensional box they try to reach out beyond the box but become light and are almost stripped from reality but while a 5th dimensional being they were able to perceive past present and future at the same time. They decide to stay in their 3 dimensional box because as a 5th dimensional being they would be leaving behind their friends.
They come back and Ashe is the only one who understands what they saw beyond the rift. They bond about how they both believe they are doing the right thing despite no longer being able to remember what was seen beyond the rift. They know that the past present and future have already been decided and they are here to make a difference
The rest of the group finds a hidden room with 3 chests. Elias finds a blank book, he then inspects a portrait that says ‘choose wisely’ styled similarly to the art in the nine hells done by Glaysia (daughter of Amodeus)
Elias’s familiar gets sucked into the chest when we open the bronze chest, Panfyr’s familiar sucked into the silver one. We decide not to open the chests in this room
Franz finds a hidden room with a chest. Elias checks Panfyr work on disarming the trap and successfully disarms it. Opining it finds Living flame paraphernalia.

NPCs Sivor and Tremond and Light and 7 remaining horses
3 hags we are ready to fight - Actually we only see 1 as Panfyr is really hidden so she wouldn’t have called her sisters.
Panfyr blesses us and Elias tries to stop Panfyr from attacking the woman.
Jo and Franz talk with her a bit more, she gives Hyadr some nightshade before leaving and introduces her sisters.
We debate whether letting them go was the right call, Sivor and Tremond agree with Panfyr, Light agrees with Elias that we have enough enemies and don’t need anymore.
We return to long resting, Panfyr and Elias take first watch, Light is also awake but reading.
Panfyr thanks Elias for talking her ‘off the ledge’ she does fear confronting them again under less fortuitous circumstances.
Panfyr talks about how much she loves the dark.
The nightshade in Hyadr’s backpack poofs in a blue cloud. They try and wake us but fail.
Elias realizes that he isn’t really awake. Tells Panfyr. Then they wake up Franz and Jo.
Franz was having a nightmare about young Morpheus. Jo about the family bear dying and being blamed for it.
Young Morpheus came with Franz as he woke up.
It’s strange dream stuff so we wake Ashe, she had a nightmare where Amelia killed Elias and she was her underling.
She knows for sure we are dreaming.
In her attempts to wake herself up she gets sucked back into her dream.
Panfyr gets sucked into hers and Franz follows but can’t get back.
We try to use a rope to pull them back through but it doesn’t work.
In Panfyr’s dream many drow show up and say they are selling them for 100 silver each. Franz tries to fight back but ends up kicked out oof the dream. Ashe goes in and tries to kill her, her scimitar turns into a necklace of fireballs that she uses to kill them both. She gets out unharmed but Panfyr starts dying. Ashe heals her out of guilt.
Morpheus apparently is connected with the hags and asked for us how we can get out, they said that they want Panfyr dead and gave her an Ostritch egg with lit charges for each person there. One of the charges meant death as Panfyr starts distributing the egg.
Jo tries to wake up again and uses the super inspiration to wake up successfully.
They are able to wake Ashe up who grabs the bag of nightshade and runs off with it so they can’t put them back to sleep. They are then able to convince the hags to let us live by persuading them that Panfyr’s reaction was out of fear. They leave and once they do everyone wakes up.
We are able to get the rest of the long rest
Ravenqueensea 30 1093 9am
We start traveling and run into some intelligent wolves. We convince them not to eat us by giving them Ashe’s rations and offering to kill the ‘Owlbear’ that is scaring them off and eating their food supply.
We obliterate the owlbear, feed it to the wolves, they flying thing makes us nervous so we all go into the owlbear’s cave.
A big bird drops Tremond killing him. (Though Elias’s nat 1 pulling him into the cave also might’ve done it)
We see Morpheus walking off.
Ashe uses one of the diamonds (600gp) Jo gives to her to bring Tremond back to life with Revivify. He is now paralyzed though from the neck wound and can’t move.
Sivor is carried back to the cave on Light’s back having been bitten by Morpheus. Hyadr goes to nap…
The Roc is still circling. Elias sets an illusion to lure it down and we all attack it once it does, after the damage though, it flees leaving behind a single 6 foot feather
We use our makeshift druidcrafted stretcher to start lugging Tremon to the next village. We ask the wolves if they have any alignment to the werewolves. They say no but a female wooden wolf once came from the north.
They then lead us safely to the next town
2pm we make it to Nastase and Anastas the twin villages. Nastase is the closer one we will hit first.
The Magnus’ come to each village secretly. But we aren’t sure who are allies or not.
We bandage Tremon’s face and blanket the rest of him to go in and search for a doctor. There’s an inn and shop but no obvious doctor. The inn has many portraits of the Magnus’ either out of loyalty or fear, we can’t tell. This town seems pretty loyal. Some guy who’s hard to read agrees to take us to the doctor’s. A lady talks well of the Magnus’ but it seems like she does it out of obligation.
Some people have brought in an aligator but some better dressed guards tell them that the alligator belongs to the Magnus’ and they have to bring it back.
Panfyr decides to follow them when they refuse to return the alligator. The guards say they are going to report it. Panfyr finds where they live then rejoins us.
The doctor is an old man whose wife calls him senile. He offers a miracle for 2500gp says it’s a finder’s fee. Panfyr gives him the bottle of Viagra which he accepts as a finders fee.
The priest Jimmy shows up.
He’s a priest of Lathander who will cover the price needed if we rob Elrich VonRomas the local rich jackass of his money. Including the needed diamonds. He claims he hates him for his false worship of the Magnus’
10 guards - (the ones in khakis and collared shirts)
Eloi Nightwood - local thief one of the guys with the alligator - Jimmy recommended him to help us infiltrate the house.
We go to talk to the thieves, they are foreigners from Boma a place up north. Turns out they are here because Eloi is looking for Morpheus. Franz mentions knowing Morpheus. Eloi says he’s Morpheus’ brother. And agrees to come with us if we will lead him to Morpheus. And to
Morpheus and Eloi share brother bands. Morpheus took his off when he died showing he may be beyond help. Eloi wants to take care of him not necessarily save him.
We decide to rob the house quietly and burn it down and pin it on that one nasty guard. and maybe kill the guy…
Ravenqueensea 30, 1093 4:00pm
NPCs Sivor and Tremond (currently paralyzed) and Light and 7 remaining horses
Corellonember (next month)
Session 48 -
Ravenqueensea 28, 1093 8:30pm
War Tent with Pirate Pete - Captain of the village
NPCs Sivor and Tremond and Light
Pete changes the deal that to consider working with us Jo needs to light Elias’ ‘lucky lighter’ 10 times in a row or Elias has to cut Jo’s finger off. Regardless he will work with us
Some IRL lighting attempts with Erićs lighter later… Jo fails…
We see the guys turn into a Deva and 4 Orthons. Orthons are always in groups of four.
Elias cut off Jo’s finger. But before Pete can get it, Elias grabs it as Pete had changed the deal with the lighter and no longer had right to the appendage.
He threatens to change the deal again but we threaten to expose them to the general populous which gets him to stand down and we start talking strategy.
Werewolves Demons and Drow. Great moat, bridge drawn.
Sneak in under moat caverns underground but filled with monsters.
They have troves of vampire spawn.
Pete knows something else but hasn’t shared
When people tried to stand up to the Magnus’ before, they had 1 out of every 10 people throughout the whole kingdom killed.
The people here in Serafín village, more of an encampment than a village, mostly of Salphanites and refugees from the other villages.
Lykos told us about the Serafins, organization designed to taking out vampires vampire spawn and creatures of the night
Salphanites, came from Adenaziel with Pete and Salpha allied with the Serafins as a means to an ends
A pack of werewolves worshiping a strange moon goddess. Leader Baron Reginald Greytress in Lupine Forest nearby here.
There’s another group of ‘good’ werewolves led by Greg Greytress (Reggie’s son) We plan on going to attempt to ally with them.
A blacksmith in this town is also a person of interest.
Pete has some scars so we think the wounds are from a previous attempt on the Magnus’
Fairtress worshipped Lathander before she died and became a devil.
We prepare some contractual terms and Pete (goes by Peter now) summons's an Imp to compose it but ultimately we don’t sign but agree we have the same goals.
We go to the local inn. Hyadr makes Jo a poppy elixir for the pain of losing a finger. Jo asks for it from Elias and then gives it to Ashe and says not to give it to anyone unless they say the password ‘Morpheus’ finger’
We speak to a girl at the bar at the inn who told us that, the Salphanites came here promising to rid them of the Magnus’
In new Galvania the Magnus’ dictated that everything would be given to them and everything would be taken care of, it worked for a while but trade was illegal and the Magnus’, after the fall of Galvania and the conflict with Ardenia the people in New Galvania began to suffer.
The Greytress’ are in the upper class but junior married below him in status.
Ravenqueensea 29, 1093 8:00am
Blacksmiths - Captain of the village
NPCs Sivor and Tremond and Light
George the Blacksmith (human) we decide to visit before going to visit the werewolves. We get 120 silvered arrows from him billed to Peter. Franz then makes a cast of his teeth to make a mold to make a silver grill. (Ask Dan how that happened)
Hyadr silvers his handaxes and we do various other things. Takes six hours
We travel on our horses north.
We get to a forest with signs of Lathander. We decide to talk to the people coming out of the forest. They are but peasants but Jo tells them, “if the Magnus’ go down, thank the Rosy Thorns”
NPCs Sivor and Tremond and Light and 9 horses
We try and skirt the coast but cliffs make it mandatory to enter the forest. The forest is bereft of living beasts. It’s really dark Panfyr grants us all the ability to see 320ft in the dark
Blightrose’s grow in natural terrain but generally only sprout out of death. All the carcus’ we find have them. They aren’t the cause of death but feed on death
We start making con saves… 4 horses don’t want to walk anymore… a few people, including Ashe and Elias, lose their will to keep going but we keep them on the willing horses and keep going.
Jo realizes that the mushroom spores are poisonous and uses lesser restoration to cure Ashe and Elias, Ashe then helps the other horse and 2 people double up
NPCs Sivor(1ex)= and Tremond and Light and 7 horses remain
We make it to a river and decide to find a spot to camp for the night. Panfyr helps Jo find a good spot and Ashe uses her ability to conceal the camp.
Hyadr sees an old woman picking flowers in the night. Wakes us all up and tries to use the mushrooms he found to make healing potions.
She sees us and comes over her bag full of nightshade, her name is Moldovia.
Franz casts detect thoughts and determines that she is very focused on Peter and the Magnus’ and their wants and needs. The more they need the more they can provide. Thinks she is mentally more powerful than the Magnus’.
“The best way to conquer your enemy is to wait until they make a mistake”
Panfyr gets scared and goes to attack the ‘hag?’
She calls ‘sisters’ and two other hags? Appear. Combat to start next week
Ravenqueensea 30, 1093 12:00am

8:30 am
Pit Fiend shows up hands Ashe a summons - and she goes with him through a portal but Elias comes back through 5 years older
Glassia (daughter of Asmodeus looks like a succubus) took care of Elias while he was gone. Made sure no one got to him. Jumped
Only court in the hells is privately owned
Light and some crew start working the cannons
Jo casts water breathing on the party, Light, and the other NPCs (minus Barnalby and Morpheus)
There are no cannonballs so we start loading them with chains, ball bearings, broken hunting traps, etc
Panfyr attacks it with the help of Mayhem
Hyadr grapples his way into the kraken’s mouth and throws a poisoned hunting trap in and tries to break it’s jaw
Elias has his familiar throw his love potion into the kraken’s mouth
Ravenqueensea 19,1093
We spend the day repairing the boat
Ravenqueensea 20, 1093
We found that the treasure chests were still in the hold. 3 chests 3000 each. One guy throws one overboard. We stopped him from throwing the other two.
Ravenqueensea 21, 1093
A dragon turtle showed up and attacked the boat mad at being jipped his tithing. We throw in the other 2 chests but it is no longer enough. Panfyr, Jo, and Franz throw in an additional 1000
Dragonborn passenger helped translate for us

Clear night and we arrive 8pm
Sun never shines, very misty here
We raised the seraphim flag as we approached the village
Peter - portmaster we must speak with
Turns out it’s pirate pete…
Salpha is Fairtress - Devil who ran the first level of hell and Pete became her #1
Infernal wine made from fire grapes
It’s weird, the Salphites are getting holy paladin like powers but Sally Fairtress is claiming she is the god granting them the power. The way devils work, that shouldn’t be possible.
We are able to convince Pete to consider working with us but he wants Jo’s finger. This triggers Jo’s memory of their prophesy from summer camp that foretold the return of Pete and it signifying the start of the end of the world.
Session 46 -
Ravenqueensea 8, 1093. 3:30 outside council meeting chamber
NPCs - Sivor, Tremond, Morpheus, Loki, Azazael, Barnalby

Ravenqueensea 13, 1093
Ashe makes up thieves can’t and stumbles into a meeting with Amelia
We all go.
The underground is dwarven made - there’s an old unused telescope
The same looking Amelia, a counterpart comes out. Apparently for every thieves guild sect there is an Amelia.
She knows when other Amelia’s die. Can feel it like it’s a part of her. Got involved with an Ifrit - prince of City of Brass - granted wish to run all thieves guilds by splitting herself into many parts. Eldoria Amelia dying was the first Amelia to die.
We settle the issue of killing Amelia
We settle the issue of the Tiefling who stabbed Panfyr in the back and send a missive to Drew to kill the Tiefling
Ravenqueensea 14, 1093
Finishing preparations for our voyage
We buy many goats for the vampire spawns - Morpheus also offered free voyage for commoners going back to New Galvania as blood sacks
We buy food and other provisions for the boat
Ashe and Jo buy fishing gear
Light Lochmarche - a blond noble from Adenaziel coming on the boat with us
Ravenqueensea 15, 1093
We speak with Light - He recognizes that Franz is from Galvania - He speaks about Adenaziel and how the city was originally in a place called Faerun and is now located between Galvania and Greatspear - knows the Salphanites but he doesn’t agree with Salpha - Running from Thandeus who has a daughter and wants to marry them - Paragon is the king Currently Thandeus - He was promised to Hazel before she ran away to marry Tempus - Going to Saraphin Village to talk to Peter (leader of Seraphin) looking for… he’s not sure what - doesn’t know or trust us yet
We set out on the boat 11am.
25 Passengers + 10 of us + 15 crew + Captain Morpheus = 51 People on this boat
On a perfect trip - we will arrive early afternoon on day 4 of our trip
Hyadr and Jo start fishing - Hyadr javelins a 1500lb tuna and they both try to reel it in - with Ashe’s animal handling they are able to get it in and milk the goats and use onions and Jo’s spice pouch to make chowder with the cook.
The leathered fruit is still good, looks like it lasts a month not a week.
Ravenqueensea 17, 1093
Jo casts Water Breathing on everyone ritually every morning
A lady comes up trying because her daughter is missing - Ashe makes a drawing and try’s to locate creature… but it failed.
Franz confronts Morpheus about the missing girl but Morpheus claims innocence having spent the night with a different girl.
The Rosy Thorns investigate where the mom and missing daughter were sleeping. Lytria (human) is missing. Ashe casted locate creature but it failed.
Franz sees a size 10 men’s footprint on the ground with the girls so Jo uses mold earth to make a cast of the potential culprits. We narrow it down to 3.
We find men’s clothes hidden on the boat, did 2 people go missing? The guy with the girl?
Franz and Ashe start interrogating the 3.
- Something about Nicholas and fixing boots… Charlie -Something about reading a book…. And Donald (helped by Gerald) - gathering wheat and to make bread…
Evening - Interrogations continue
Some shit happens.. I didn’t quite follow what…
Panfyr sees that someone has been pushed overboard and turns the boat
Franz falls overboard because of the turn
Jo casts control water to save the first person who went overboard, she says a gnome pushed her over but there’s no gnome on the manifest.
Franz also makes it back
It starts to rain
Franz casts detect magic but finds nothing. Jo casts speak with animals and a rat finds an odd bleach smell. Jo points him out to Ashe who is a bloodhound and it leads to a Tiefling who was manning the mast.
Jo determines he is being a bit sketchy Ashe leads him to the captain quarters
Removing the Tiefling caused the boat to hit some reefs…. Hyadr is eventually able to save it
Panfyr goes to the interrogation room to talk to the Tiefling/gnome? But she can’t tell who is the Tiefling/gnome and who is Ashe
Shit happens and a doppleganger dies
Ashe starts getting paranoid
Jo snores…
Honestly,We aren’t sure why these things are happening but are currently questioning Morpheus
Light Lochmarche tries to help but our(Ashe’s) paranoia is getting in the way
It starts becommming more obvious that Morpheus has been a vampire spawn much longer than Franz and we aren’t sure how much humanity he has left… we are all gradually getting more and more skeptical of him.
Apparently Light thinks that Ashe’s status as a moon elf has a good amount of status compared to the rest of us.
We all get a long rest
Ravenqueensea 18, 1093
NPCs - Sivor, Tremond, Morpheus, Loki, Azazael, Barnalby
49 passengers on the boat (51 minus the missing girl and the doppleganger we killed)
We wake up. 8:30am
Ashe didn’t rest well, feeling like she was a little abrasive towards Morpheus - She goes to talk to him but he is super creepy towards her, she doesn’t let him super close to her which allows Panfyr to overhear some of the conversation.
Morpheus changes our direction and blows a flute, black smoke surrounds him, he accuses Franz of leaving him,
Franz says he thought Morpheus was dead and he tried to steal his woman (Blackwood)
Jo and Franz try and convince him to not lose his humanity after being a vampire spawn for so long… but it doesn’t work
A kraken attacks us at Morpheus’ bidding, we aren’t’ sure what to do
Franz realizes Morpheus always was very jealous of Franz, all the competitiveness has been affecting him and now it has turned into his dark side,
Seems like he’s been touched by the abyss and now the abyss and it’s chaos is part of him.
Ashe tries to help him but starts to get sucked in…. Dan’s super inspiration saves her
The tenticles start pulling the boat down and the session ends..
TBC
Session 45 -
8pm, RavenQueenSea 7, 1093
Pontemundi Entrance
City where the world meets about worldly matters
East and West Pontemundi are run very differently.
Morpheus teaches us that the vampire spawn throw up everything they try to eat.
Jo tries all the free samples
Kabob - meat, probably cucumbers, covered in white sticky goo… a little tart and cucumbery
Carmelized carrots
other stuff
Shops
Candy Shop Ardenia Candies - Marzipan - Springly - Potato Candy Hazel loves these candies used to make them with her ‘Mamon’ mother
Fine dress shops - beautiful
Gondola tours that are booked out 3 months in advance
Buildings are dwarven made but there aren’t many dwarves. Buildings are 1000 years old
Islands are uneven and tall so the buildings are built into the rock
Many people are giving Ashe strange looks and seem very wary of her. The moonelves we do see seem militaristic
Glazed Rose - best inn in town but the owner owes Morpheus a favor so we get to stay for free 6 stories high
Bellhop doesn’t like how we look but when Morpheus mentions Brutus he lets us in
Room 101 - Brutus’ room - Guards don’t let us in but we are allowed into the guest room which is hidden behind the Lift
The In-house (bathroom) has plumbing thanks to the city’s aqueduct
Hyadr asks the elevator guy how he got so strong, guy tells him Onions are the secret… Onion breath is on the horizon
Common bathhouse - we undress and the ladies scrub us down (except for the bottom of Jo’s feet) we get nice robes and all tip various amounts of silver. We get a claim check to pick up our clothes in the morning
Ithilene - A sun elf approaches Ashe excited to see a moon elf and thinks she is nobility since she isn’t militaristic. She is a diplomat, magic-breaker in training.
Elite force trained to fight other magic users specifically. Here with Galadrian himself - head of military for Calambar - one of the 6 leading cities in other continent - grandmother was a moon elf - some kind of trouble in the other continent, won’t go into detail what the trouble is.
Specialized against forces of Greatspear in the war - Stood outside while Galadrian met with Aezelbov - wont tell us what they spoke about though
Ithilquist - We all (Jo, Hyadr, Franz, Panfyr, Ithilene) go in on the 500gp bottle. It’s made from Lupples. Tastes like basking in the moonlight
Elverquist is the counterpart making you feel like basking in the sun
Aezelbov is bothered by the rift because he’s chosen by Mystra - he is the one holding the rift together. Has been for the last 1000 years as a human. He is super old. Magic is keeping him alive. Chances are when he dies the world will die with him. Galadrian’s plan right now is to create a giant Mythil to save the world but it would stop the casting of spells above 3rd level. Also countless people will die including Aezelbov.
Ashe goes to speak to Galadrian of Kalambar representivie of the 6 cities of Calambar - He tells her to talk to the council at 2pm if she really wants to stop the Mythil from happening.
Jo takes first watch, Hyadr takes second with Hazel, she convinces him to take a walk. She tries to convince him to leave the group with her. He declines and she walks off never to be seen again… Ashe is on third watch and hears some guys talking about ‘the guy with the bandages’
Hyadr goes to kick the pull door setting the door on fire. His foot goes through. Jo pulls him out.
Shenanigans ensue…
Franz blames the encounter on Galadrian - Brutus sends guys who got slautered by the magic breakers
We leave the hotel - Panfyr helps Jo get their armor back - Jo takes the opportunity to take some fine dwarven clothes Black and Silver
Brutus - human with a head made of lumps - Morpheus abandoned him on an island with a hag - He was a green hag’s slave for months - Morpheus tells him a location with 10,000 gold but tells him to only take 3,000 (probably a total farse)
We finish our long rest
RavenQueenSea 8, 1093
Panfyr haggles with the investment guy, testing him further. He passes?
We go for breakfast and eat an Ostritch egg concoction. We have gyro’s for lunch.
Ashe gives the fertile Gith egg to Jo who fashioned a makeshift baby harness to carry it around as well as leathers to protect it on top of the man made iron bands,
Jo asks about a book on raising Gith, chances are Esoterica has them - Buys a book called Dead God that talks about gith culture and Vlaqeth their queen.
On our way to the Council meeting - Daals calls Elias away as a witness as the gold used in the summoning of The Living Flame didn’t belong to the caster.
2pm
Ashe is able to get us into the council meeting without Elias by namedropping Galadrian.
Galadrian lets everyone know his plans to create the Mythil - We debate him but he stands strong with this being a notification and not a debate.
Any alternate plan must be presented to the council in Enegarnad before the Mythil is created.
Session 43 -
5th of Ravenqueensea, 1093
Ravenqueensea 4, 7pm At Dirk’s encampment at the base of the mountain range
Familiar count!
Carver - Elias’ Mayhem - Panfyr Fred - Franz
The mead will be ready in a month. Hyadr
Saajon- gave Jo a wineskin and after talking for a bit decides to convince the group to party.
Jo finds a mark of the Oakenfoot clan on a rock in the ground. Digging up a locked chest that Elias opened. It contained a barrel of Jo’s uncle’s ale including the recipe.
Jo adds the ale to the party.
They ask questions about the Oakenfeet that passed through here. The ones who passed through about a decade ago were a hunting party looking for the gith that escaped the culling in Hammerfall. Jo starts questioning the history of the
Hyadr plays ‘catch the spear’ with Gordron one of the other barbarians and wins.
During our rest a small orc child stabs Hyadr.
After many failed attempts to catch her (including Panfyr tackling Ashe mistakenly) Franz turned her into a penguin.
Ashe tied her up. Hyadr is the only one who speaks Orcish. After an impressive back and forth. Hyadr debates pulling his weapon but realizes the party (minus Hazel) was against killing a child.
We convince the elder to take the child. Luca. As they depart in the morning they take her with them to their city Onrohk.
Ravenqueensea 5, 1093 8am departure
Franz unsuccessfully tries to hunt something for blood
12pm we make it to Crow’s Crossing a small town
We decide to stop for lunch, Jo buys 4 loaves of honey bread on the street.
We get to an inn that serves us and our horses food in exchange for some of the Oakenfoot ale. The barkeep seems nervous every time the door opens.
Elias ask’s about the Sherwoods.(his mother’s maiden name as this is where she is from) Dianne Nickolas
They live nearby
The blacksmith is also an Oakenfoot named Gribus. Jo shared the ale recipe with him. The secret ingredient is salted oranges. The hunting party was never able to find the escaped gith.
Lizara was a hag the city drowned and they believe she is the water spirit tormenting the town. During the arcane forge war in 776. Her lover went off to war, she waited by the river but he never returned.
Tarren Soze, the original owner of the ledger before Barrett (the dragon), Elias realized the innkeeper Lilb is also on the ledger. Ca’va is Lilb’s wife. Elias lets him know what happened but Dirck, the protector of the town, seems to have an affinity towards it. 7 of the guard from Eldoria left and came here to become his goons recently. He responds to Amelia in Pontemunde.
Avery Ca’va is the famous soup maker in town. Famous bouillon. Dated Elias’ mom.
A fan of Snow Dwarf and the Seven Whites written by Danielle Copper
We go to check out Dirk, Ashe goes up as a spider, Elias and Panfyr send their familiars. Franz disguises himself as Blackwood and goes to talk to them. Somehow convinces them to go back but they wont go until tomorrow. Franz (as Blackwood) agrees to get them a contract for 3x what they used to make to come back.
We start making a plan to ambush them at the bridge. Jo borrows Avery’s fishing pole as a ruse to keep the rogues covered with pass without trace.
Dirck is too smart to get on the bridge. All 20 of the others make it to the center when Franz ignites the fuse.
Panfyr was able to kill Dirck. As we use Marzipan to fly across the river, while Franz was ferrying Jo they got struck by lightning.
Making it over, there’s an updated ledger that lets Elias know how much Dirck was collecting from this town. There are also 5 gems of water elemental summoning that we keep. Worth 400gp. Elias decides to give all the money back.
A potion of storm giant and cloud giant strength was found, Franz and Jo gave them to Hyadr. Ashe found a superior healing potion
Jaren Silverleaf - a traveling merchant wandered into the hideout. We donate some money to him almost 500 gp. He said if we give him 1000gp he may show up where we need him with items worth up to 100gp
6:30pm where we end

4th of Ravenqueensea 1093
Ravenqueensea 4, Noon, Currently at some ruins surrounding a Mythallar
NPCs: Morpheus, Hazel, Loki, Azazael, Barnalby, Tremon, Sivor
Ask the tree a few more questions about the area. Lizardfolk are to the east.
We continue south and see smoke from a recently extinguished fire. Elias sees through his familiar that 2 lizardfolk are eating a barbarian’s leg while he’s alive, looks like they killed his wolf. We charge ahead to try and save the guy.
As we charge, Ashe who is following behind alerts us to more coming up behind us. Elias sends his familiar who sees 8 more guys.
We continue ahead to save the guy rolling initiative.
We easily dispatch the two lizardfolk here. Hyadr knocks the guy out as he was screaming in pain. Everyone runs back the way we came to fight the other 8. Jo stays, cleans the guy’s leg with some water, wraps it in a shirt, and creates a boot for him out of vines.
Franz disguises himself as a lizardfolk and starts yelling in common for help. Somehow, most of the lizardfolk are fooled and they lift him up and start trying to carry him to safety.
Hyadr loses his rage in embarrassment at missing his attack on himself…
Gluum attacked and mistook Frans as an enemy.
The lizardfolk start sacrificing themselves to protect Franz, telling him they’ve got him and to run! But it’s all in draconic and he doesn’t speak that.
We all get 143 exp
Hyadr has an idea to get some honey to prevent infection. We use smoke to draw out the queen bee and destroy the hive to use the honey. What we don’t use for him, Hyadr and Jo decide to start making mead.
Dirk, the guy we saved (worshipper of Tempus) lets us know about his two party members, Gluum goes off and finds them dead.
Dirk doesn’t like magic… We decide to take him to his outpost at the base of the nearby mountain range.
Passing through lizardfolk territory to get Dirk home, at least 30 lizardfolk all within 60ft of each other worshipping a king and queen. At least 3 shaken looking guys. There are hanging cages, containing Dirk’s sister and nephew Friedra and Don (short for Donilingus)
We decide to attack
Panfyr shoots a shaman. Franz fireballed 13+1 shaman. Hyadr throws a javelin trying to knock the kids cage free, knocking the kid out dying, Jo runs forward using healing word waking the kid up he starts crying despite being told to play dead. Ashe erupts some earth killing at least 12 of them. Gluum attacks the remaining shaman killing them, Elias kills one of the stragglers, Panfyr tries to put the king or queen asleep but fails, Franz tries to polymorph the king but fails, Hyadr runs up to pike the king, Jo faerie fires the king and queen and uses starry archer form to shoot the king, The queen retaliates against Hyadr, Ashe casts moonbeam at the king, Gluum attacks one of the remaining lizardfolk and knocks him prone, Elias kills the other lizardfolk, the one remaining lizardfolk attacks Gluum, The King survives the moonbeam and attacks Hyadr before jumping in the water, Panfyr attacks the queen, Franz uses magic missile, Hyadr throws a javelin at the king underwater then follows in with his pike taking an attack from the queen, Jo uses hallucinatory terrain to make the lake seem toxic to prevent the queen from jumping into the water and hoping to scare the king out of the water, the queen runs into the bushes, Ashe moves moonbeam in the queens direction Gluum kills the last lizardfolk, Elias activates bladesong and approaches, the king attacks Hyadr, Panfyr moves to attack the queen, Hazel guided Franz, Franz used another magic missile killing the queen, Hyadr kills the king.
2200 1350 2700 1000 We all get 1036 exp
Ashe lowers Friedra’s cage and cuts her free. The kid, Don, his spine is twisted and he can no longer feel his legs.
Ashe slaps Hyadr for throwing the spear knocking the kids cage down, Frieda is very mad at Hyadr for maiming her child.
Elias was able to get Dirk to stand down acknowledging it would’ve been worse without us.
Ashe asks the mom if she would permit her to come back but the culture disallows any magic use.
Hyadr makes a poppy extract for Dirk and Don’s pain
7pm ish
We get to the village
Dirk’s wife greets him home. He tells the elder to treat us with respect.
Session 41 -
Ravenqueensea 2 (blood moon harvest make up day) Dorian’s mirror room 10pm
We figure out how to get out of the room, debating between escape and diplomacy.
We decide on diplomacy telling the truth.
Hazel and Elias lead the way out. They maks a great speech and get everyone to leave calmly gossiping and but also outing us as the Rosy Thorns
Daniel Copper books line the walls, trashy romance novelist. The books are well read but dusty. Suggesting that the original owner of this establishment is no longer around.
The portal that the demons made used the Demon Cultist symbol. Symbol for Sulphur/Brimstone. We think the Magnus’ are involved with the demon stuff, that’s why they wanted the Demonomicon.
Hazel Arden is the princess of Ardinia city in Greatspeer. Left with her mentor looking for Stefan. Potential next king of Greatspeer. Stole Hazel’s journal.
Many transactions the banker made was to the Shadowthorns for something labeled ED using blue sage. It’s erectile dysfunction. We think he
6535gp was found 1089gp 1sp 7cp that we each took. We found John Wanton hidden in a secret room behind a giant painting of himself. 60000 gp was in the safe in the basement. Panfyr was able to see the combination 69 69 69
A demon called an Arcanaloth wanted to buy the Danielle Copper collection. He said no. He also has an unpublished Danelle Copper manuscript about a love story between a woman and a monodrone. It’s unfinished.
We find a book in Abyssal, Elias casts comprehend languages. Broken abyssal by a lesser demon trying to detail a Palace of 1001 closets. Plane of infinite portals. Pazunia city in the first layer of the abyss.
Ravenqueensea 3
NPC’s Hazel, Morpheus, Sivor and Tremond
Meilikki churchgoers can no longer feel her presence or access her magic.
Elias has Drew put a watch out for the bejeweled skull.
We spoke to Blackwood before leaving, Jo almost spilled the beans on Morpheus but saved it. She gets us horses and we set out
Ilkkoru. 6pm
Some kids lead us to the town’s inn.
Blacksmith is an orc named Dereck. Hyadr
Destera Shadowthorne (Ashe’s sister) used to live on the lonely house on the hill but no longer.
The center of town has a tree surrounded by fireflies. Tree seems unnatural. Magically so. Greta’s tree. She’s the tree paralleling in the feywild
The Belchy Frog - Inn in town
White and red wearing clerics - Symbol Staff Line with Circle through it. We don’t know the faction. Salfa Goddess of Light. One true goddess. From another plane of existence invited by Salfa. Bartlely Loki and Azazel. They are from Serafin village and were on their way to Eldoria
Annual ancestors festival going on in the town center. All the kids think they are reincarnations of their grandparents or older.
Dried fruits and veggies
Leathered Fruit - bright red clear food. (Fruit roll up) Peach Apple Grape Lychee Strawberry
Face Salves and Potions
Braddock the Bastard, Pirate from Pontimundi, Living in village shady characters come to visit. (Prob thieves guild) looking for gold hidden by him
Hyadr and Hazel start going at it and Hazel ends up interrogating the half-orc blacksmith about his family and calling Hyadr a hyppocrite for killing the orcish hunting party.
At Destera’s old house, Ashe finds magical butterflies, she sends one to each of us
Out back there is an unmarked gravestone.
Destera was looking for a mountain range that isn’t accessible housing a very powerful person on this continent.
We go back to the gravestone, Elias identifies it but doesn’t learn much
Panfyr and Jo clear out the dirt from a distance and Jo uses Halllucinatory terrain to disguise the enterance.
It’s a library at the bottom of the stairs, Panfyr identifies a few books as magical
Aezelbov Zobalo is mentioned. Born in Pontimundi before the sundering, gained favor of Alminster, Lorel Silverhand, and others. Met Mystra herself.
Magic only works because of Mystra.
Map circling mountain range where we believe Aezelbov currently is, possibly with Destera,
Treacherous, Giants, wish she could fly…
One magic book contains portraits that change depending on what you think of.
Thinking of Zolth brought up an image of the bejewled skull…
Ravenqueensea 4
Jo casts speak with plants and talks with Greta, turns out she is the Dryad we met in the Feywild who had it bad for Dermish, and now has it out for Ashe calling her a Homewrecker thanks to Jo’s lie.
We get on the road. We end up finding some ruins with inactive Modrons.
Rib cages are hanging from the trees, something glowing in the woods
Off in the distance in a 150ft glowing orb. A Mythallar, magic thing that kept
Session 40 -
Ravenqueensea 2. (Blood moon harvest make up day)
Panfyr (human) new party member
Druguth the forgotten - Lola the drow helped her out

Bandits just a few miles out of town stole it. Panfyr was knocked out as they didn’t want to split the profits with her.
10:30
We meet Drew in the thieves guild to ask about the bandits who took the Blue Sage
Snakes Fangs - group who may have intercepted the Blue Sage
11:15
Tea Dragon Monastery
Currently there is a deal going on but they removed it from the dirt so it is already wilted.
The monks drink concoctions of rare herb tea and it extends their life. Master Roshi is in charge 192 y/o human
Elias and Ashe going in to try to talk
They make a deal with the bandits for 100gp for the wilting blue sage. Elias and Ashe present a ruse about how valuable Ashe is as a hostage (500 gp) and they need to go back to our place for the gold.
They plan to kidnap her in an alley. We sneak up on them and ambush in the midst of their ambush.
They stood no chance.
We get the blue sage, Jo puts it Franz’s bag of dirt and uses druidcraft to help it retake root. It’ll be about a week of constant care before it is usable.
12ish
We took the tiefling back to the thieves guild where he is now in the dungeons. Elias had a scribe draft up a letter to the Pontimundi asking for permission to ‘terminate’ the tiefling. We need approval to do it so as to not start a war between the thieves guilds.
Before the festival that starts at 7:30
Panfyr avoids questions about the missing merchants but ‘finds’ and returns ashe’s great-great-great grandfathers urn and decorates her room with it.
Ashe goes to the bathhouse and then convinces Bethany to collaborate with the Tea Dragon Monastary.
Franz and Elias copy spells from the Academy
Jo goes to the farmer they promised to help and fertilizes his land with plant growth ritual.
We all then get costumes for the festival

We watch a play about Fairtriss and the adventurers of the Golden Dawn
Large man Toss’n, Goth girl Poe,
Steal a monkey from Fairtriss which instigates a fight killing her sending her to hell
Current ruler helps Fairtriss then she betrays him to become the new ruler.
The monkey died
Poe became Mystra
Toss’n died but not actually
They defeated Fairtriss
Lathander was trapped under Adenaziel (where Remish is from) which is why you could cast spells without spending spell slots
9 pm
Franz meets up with Carrie (who he doesn’t remember) from a bar, she invites us to a high class party
Dorian (who hosts the party makes a speech) He’s from New Galvania
Horrible place ruled by vampires he’s lucky to have escaped.
We then spend time talking to Franz about his drooling problem missing the rest of the speech
Elias approached Dorian, Jo joins as a mouse in his pocket
He shows Elias a big mirror, it’s a family heirloom from his family in New Galvania
He came with the Magnus’
Elias got sucked into the mirror
Dorian grabbed Jo mouse, Jo turned back and a fight begins
We win a

We talk them down and get a free long rest there

1000 hours we make it to Shadowthorne estate.
Bethany - Older elf who runs the estate
They were just about to start a meeting, the council.
It’s noon as we begin to explore Magnus Manor
Session 34 -
Azuthar 24, 1083 1600 hours
Jo guided Ashe as she casted the spell scroll. Thanks to guidance and inspiration we barely made it.
Aria was being tortured but a man got her out. Some kind of fiend maybe an Incubus…
Aria is shocked the Abishi didn’t dispatch us.
We start catching her up on the current event
We decide that we should try and contact Arendale, Ashe somehow knows that he was wounded recently
Zozth Hoccleve - 1st Hocc to get the sword over 1000 years ago.
Session 33 - Will the real Aria Silvermist please stand up.
Azuthar 24, 1083
Aria was swapped for an imposter who is an Abishi, follows Tiamat. Aria is being tortured in hell.
The imposter cast globe of invulnerability on itself so we could no longer affect it. Then teleported away.
We hear a dragon outside.
Ashe is wheeled away Glum chases after her.
Elias grabbed the sword and spoke with Shar. She leads him to believe it’s ok that the sword was taken, it’s his now. He just has to ‘finish what he started’ he believes that means to kill his uncle.
As he leaves with the sword he runs into Oska, his sister. She disabled all the traps so Elias could get away.
He asks why she’s working with Pass’n when he’s a monster. He tries to convince her to work with him. They are their mother’s children. She eludes towards feeling abandoned by their mother, declares that the next time they meet it will be with swords, and vanishes.
Elias looks around the house and learns that the Hawkcleave crest is everywhere and Pass’n has a huge statue of himself in the garden.
Elias finds a false bottom in a desk drawer and finds a ritualistic sigil on a parchment. Weird drawing on the edges. Is the sigil used to send gold to Mamon.
Jo and Franz look around the council room and decide to go to try and help the people.
We run into Elias and speculate whats happening. Lodagraph is attacking the city the dome is down, it is afternoon and the attack has begun.
We aren’t sure but decide to go to the Captain and plan our next course of action.
We get to her and the rest of the council is yelling at the Captain.
Ashe joins us and we quickly update the captain on the Aria situation.
Commoners are following the soldiers orders to bring their gold to the capital.
Jo realizes that Lodagraph is flying weirdly, we then realize that they are carving the sigil to Mamon into the city (full metal alchemist style)
When he is 250 feet away Jo earthbinds him setting his fly speed to 0.
We run up Pass’n dispels Elias’ broom. And we enter into combat.
The goal is to to stop the sigil from being completed.
Turns out it was already complete,
It begins to glow as
Franz attempted to negotiate but it didn’t go anywhere.
He casts tiny hut and Jo turns into a badger to dig us out, we escape certain death into the sewers.
We see a secret door in the sewers and thanks to Elias’s theives guild key we are able to get in.
Jo nabs a cool rainbow orb.
We get duped by a tricky hallway and take some damage. The trick was only step on the stars except the last one. That’s a trap floor but all the other shapes are poison darts.
Elias got us in and we entered a rounded room where a pendulum of death dropped down on us.
On the other side is a similar hallway to the previous but without the symbols.
We work together to get accross
At the end is another door that is super heavy we pry it open enough for Ashe to go through as a mouse, she turns back and pulls the chain.
We get in but realize its a prison
The other door has a slide that opens and a guy talks with us.
Elias talks us into the room,
They work for Amelia, and we are waiting for her to get back, but she was killed by Elias
Another guy shows up and he knows Amelia is dead.
After some shenanigans, we realize that by killing Amelia Elias is the new head of the thieves guild. He takes up the mantle
Brutus - Barkeep
Andrew - Caretaker
Drew - Amelia’s almost right hand man
Treasure has all been moved Elias was told it’s under the Squeeky Wheel
Franz realizes that the girl Remish was hitting on at the SW was identical to Aria.
The dragon attack has stopped, we have 10 men Drew is keeping them in line.
Beverly is the barkeep and she had lost her memory at the same time that Aria became captain of the guard.
Elias walked her through how to cast minor illusion and she did so impeccably
We realize it really is Aria who lost her memories.
We start sharing ideas about how to maybe bring her memories back as we don’t currently have the capability magically, she realizes that the sad guy who sent her out of hell and back to the city gave her a scroll case that was magically locked, she showed it to us and Jo dispels the arcane lock and we realize the scroll is greater restoration.
Ask Harley next week about experience.
Session 32 -
Azuthar 24 12:00 am
I jumped into the water as a result of the failed save
Ashe got me out. Franz and
Auska
Spite is in the shadowfell
Session 30 -
Daahl is the cause of QM’s issue, the parasite is one of his
Azuthair 23, 1800 hours
Daahls led us back to where we entered the dome. Lodar
King Dinmure wasn’t interested in parting with any gems until he ate anything. Franz figured out a way to make an ice box for the blacksmith
Lee the udon salesman - Jo promised to invigorate his farm as thanks for the free food he is providing
Session 29 -
23 of Azuthair, 1083
We spend a few hours talking about our new house and its potential. We decide on Rose Manor as a name for our house.
We now decide to find a carpenter to start procuring furniture for our house.
Andromeda recommends
Balky Bartholomew - High class warehouse owning carpenter
Fluffy like snow, eyes in the night, if only you weren’t across the sea.
We agree that as payment for the furniture that we would guard and protect his gold. He gives us 80,000 gp to protect. We designate a room to bury the gold underneath.
Johnathan the blacksmith
Franz has an idea for a super intricate safe. As payment Johnathan wants an icebox. Franz has a lead on where to go for an idea on how to make one.
Session 28 -
20 of Azuthair, 1083
After the fight
Camping out ready for the trip back.
Franz on first watch sees some remaining kobolds and fireballs them getting 175 exp.
Elias takes second watch with his mom. Concerned about Pas’n’s motivations and legitimacy of his place on the council. If it turns out that his place on the council is illegitimate we may face some issues due to his wrath.
Jo looked at the moon, the moon is strangely sanguine. The coloring Jo thinks is probably due to the residual smoke from the fires. However the coloring feels like an omen of harvest, change and death. Not necessarily bad.
Andromeda took final watch but failed to see a Nalfeshnee as it approached the camp and ate a villager. The screams wake us all.
Jo attempted to keep the demon from us with a plant growth, unfortunately the demon could teleport and made it useless and only really restricted our movement.
Ashe showed up and with Glum joined the fight. Ashe and Jo cast Aura of Vitality to assist in the healing of the party. It was great for Franz who was the main target of the demon’s assault. It was after the Demonomicon.
23 of Azuthair, 1083
We make it back to Aldoria. For the most part the journey was uneventful. There was a silver dragon that was tracking our progress every night.

Session 27 - Fighting the Living Flame
Jo takes the notes… hehehe
18 of Azuthair, 1083
Everyone preps their spells for the day sine we had a long rest.
Jo pulls the Lovers as their tarot card for the day.
People are nervous and fearful of the dragon causing a lot of unrest.
The group is reunited along with Andromeda and 20 reinforcements.
Andromeda recommends asking Passn for assistance, Elias agrees, Andromeda actually already asked, they are part of the reinforcements. We have a combo group of 20, 10 are Captain Blackwood sent 20 and Passn sent 10 elites to assist us.
Elias lets Jo know about the dwarven warband. We decide to try and get the dwarves to attack to lure the dragon out of the cave so Elias can sneak Marian out. Jo sends an animal messenger with a map a the dragons location.
‘A dragon has claimed your gold. This is Jo of Hammerfall. See attached map for lair location. Reinforcements are on the way.’
Around noon we see a herd of buffalo in the distance. They were being stalked by a group of tigers. (Usually solitary hunters why group? Mama and babies?) Because of positioning we were afraid of ending up in the midst of a stampede. Elias used minor illusion to make a tiger roar to scare them away from us. Jo used light on their hooded lantern and made a pinpoint of red light (laser pointer) to distract and lead them away from us.
For dinner we make a hunting party, Jo finds a lone buffalo and uses their spear to kill it. It was too heavy to drag. Mold earth couldn’t move it either. Jo ended up using thorn whip to drag it back to the caravan camp 10ft at a time. It was very tender as a result. A nice lady in the group offered to make a stew using her vegetables to feed the whole caravan, Franz made some of it into steaks.
We each take watches overnight. Basel has a fun conversation with one of them.
19 of Azuthair, 1083
Bael and Jo work out in the morning to maintain strength, Elias stretches, Franz judges and doesn’t believe in stretching.
The day of travel passes uneventfully. Jo finds another bird to tell the dwarven group we are a day away.
Jo takes first watch and sees a bright light coming from the mountain. Jo wakes Franz up to ask what it was. It was fire. Jo wakes everyone else up. We see another flame. We do see some burning dots going down the mountain. Jo prays it wasn’t the dwarves…
We try and recall what we know about the living flame. Jo, proficient in history, remembers the story about Arendale who helped defeat the Living Flame but he had a necklace to bring him back to life. He could continually rebirth himself so they sent him to the plane of fire. We don’t know what happened to the necklace.
Turns out a sabertooth tiger, was stalking us but was intimidated by our numbers and didn’t bother us.
20 of Azuthair, 1083
We head out in the morning, as we approach the mountain we start finding dead dwarves. We find one alive, Gondol. He tells us they didn’t receive our message about timing until after they attacked the dragon. Bael asks to borrow his axe ‘Princess Sparkle’ (named by his daughter) We don’t know if the king is alive, the king was with them. Several other dead dwarves are passed on our way up.
We set up an ambush, Jo uses pass without trace with 10 elites on a ridge 100 ft from the wagon. The gold is in a pile ‘spilling out’ one wheel is broken for the ruse. 10 guards hide inside Trojan horse style. 10 hide around the wagon in bushes. Elias and Bael go in to talk with the dragon to lure him out.
Jo snipes a flying kobold to keep our cover. Many other kobolds are at the lair to serve the dragon.
The Living Flame has taken damage from the fight with the dwarves but doesn’t seem bothered. He doesn’t seem interested in leaving the lair so Elias and Bael come back.
We leave the guards and 3 elite to deal with all the kobolds while the rest of us follow Elias back to the lair.
The dragon has Marian in his hands.
Elias is able to convince him to let his mother go. Andromeda takes her and they both flee. The king is still slumped against the wall.
Elias takes the initiative and attacks him with booming blade.
The Elites all shoot, only one hits. They scatter, aware that the dragon has a probably huge cone breath weapon.
Franz casts sleet storm.
Dragon uses a legendary action to beat it’s wings
Elias gets knocked prone and the dragon flies up
Jo brings up Franz with healing word and uses the ring of shooting stars to make a ball of lightning, the dragon fails but uses a legendary resistance to succeed
Bael is unconscious but succeeds on his second save
Elias hops on his broom of flying and uses thunderwave to know down a boulder, the dragon tries to bring him down but Elias slips by him. The fall deals a lot of damage
He uses his legendary actions to beat the shit out of a veteran but the veteran is barely standing
Franz uses lightning bolt, dragon succeeds for half, but it still kills him!
We start looking for the necklace, don’t find it
He burns into ash
Jo realizes that he WILL be reborn, but he is reborn whereever the necklace is. We make some assumptions about the necklace being in Aldoria but we don’t know for sure, Jo does know he will reform into the adult dragon he is now.
We get 1636 exp for the fight
Mariam is so happy that Elias brought Andromeda back. She is so proud of him and his acomplishments.
The king speaks with us. He is here to go on a diplomatic mission to Aldoria. Jo is able to convince the king to give each of the commoners 100gp each so if they decide to continue on to another town they will be able to fanantially support it. The rest of the gold is loaded back up onto the wagon as dwarven property and we begin heading back towards Aldoria.
We all get a longe rest.
Session 24:
Last session: We found out what happened to the dwarven gold… it was reminted into the capital mint and distributed to everyone under the poverty line. This will crash the economy.
Animal messenger - I know what happened to our treasure. It was reminted and distributed to the poor among Eldoria. (Month Day). recovery is probably not possible.
Session 22:
Eric and Able are missing from the party.
State and Malice, Ashe’s cousins, children of the snake lady Azartha (not Macobra)
Malice has a doll that shouts profanities in abyssal, the taxidermy animals came to life because her (imaginary friends) demons
Bracelets of Stars - Attunement - Major tier - very rare wonderous items
10 charges - 5 on each bracelet - recharge 1d6+4 charges at dawn

Ring of Shooting Stars
Major Arcana Deck - wonderous item very rare
16 - The Tower - When you make a ranged attack you may do an extra 1d6 lightning damage once on this day. Use it or lose it. Choose when you use it.
7 - The Chariot - When you fail a roll you can choose to reroll. Once this day, use it or lose it.
Session 21:
We are leaving the underdark the way we came.
Mom told me that the Duregar were wearing holy symbols of Selune, a goddess often associated with the Moon Elves, she thinks they might be involved with what’s going on in Ithilhithnal.
Boc looted Macabre’s pockets finding a druidic recipe for gingerbread cookies… may have magical effects, we need to make them to find out.
Boc and I made gingerbread sleep cookies
Session 20: And she was seven
Bael’s new armor has a 500gp diamond in the center of it
Jo spent 8 hours to cast plant growth to add fertility to the grove they accidentally killed by taking the sunstone.
We decided to take Doug (the duregar with the same affliction as Ashe’s mentor)
Session 19: Magic Circles aren’t Ability Circles…
Franz does a PowerPoint recap.
Remish and Ashe were able to go to a temple to bring
The kings dwarves joined us in the vault.
Aloevera was summoned. A dwarf went up to the edge of the circle and she possessed him, as it is an ability and not a spell. Franz fireballed her but caught a few dwarves in the crossfire.
“I guess you don’t want to know who Elysia is…”
Elias calmed the dwarves down before they turned on us. We as players are stunned and realize we don’t know how magic circle works.
Ashe remembers her backstory. She is able to also enter the dwarf’s mind without a problem thanks to Andromedas help. He enters a happy place at a bar. and Isolde tries to make a deal with some information to help Ashe’s mentor recover from something (not sure if injury, mental or something else) But she turns it down as Ashe believes/knows Isolde wants to destroy the world into chaos.
Franz makes an agreement that she will stop her meddling and go to the feywild in return for giving Franz her true name. Doug Silverstorm is the name of the person who Aloevera said can help Elysia.
Dinmure the king offered us money and nobility and my father a place on his advisors board upon us locating where the
Liseen Butterfly - mythical butterfly, before butterfly purple green and orange caterpillar with spikes. Those spikes cause immense pain for the rest of your life.
Mushroom in under dark that when prepared correctly burns away the caterpillar spikes.
Session 18 - The way of the cheese
Speechify does the first half of the retelling. Jo does the other half.
The eleverite (previously lodestone) is surrounded by a metal casing. Shifting the casing is how we can direct it’s movement. We are currently off balance going down. Franz leveled us out
Bob became Ba’hb
Remish, Ashe and the Robot girls went to retrieve their dead friend.
We make a loose plan to transfer ‘Not-Bob’s consciousness into Upson so we can turn him off and save Bob and Bael.
Bob regained control and went with us back to the pod room. He entered the pod where we locked it then pressurized it. He now sleeps peacefully.
Upson wasn’t willing to work with us, so Elias turned him off. He and Jo dragged him into the other working pod locked it then pressurized it.
Bob had regained control so he entered the pod willingly and now sleeps peacefully.
Franz is making sure that the palace stays afloat. Fred his familiar is with us. With speak with animals, Jo was able to translate what he said to Elias to help with the transference.
During the transfer, the fugue plane merged with us temporarily and Elias saw Andromeda show up. He freed him from his chains, he’s now with us as a ghost.
The transfer seemed to work. The pods opened, Bob emerged seemingly fine, Upson’s pod also opened… He was turned off but seems to be awake and conscious.
Ba’hb looks different. A bunch of glowing elements are now dim. Looks like we succeeded in transferring Jason out of Ba’hb.
We succeeded!
Elias killed Upson/Jason
Bael used his lightsaber to cut him entirely into pieces.
Ba’hb decides to lead us to the secondary cockpit. Randon, a dwarf Druid, is in there. Turns out he is my distant cousin who went missing 100 years ago. He says he knows how the 2ndary cockpit works… but he’s a little crazy.
Bob is struggling to readjust to singular consciousness and takes a nap.
We have some discussion about what do with the palace. Franz wants to crash it, Jo wants to save it, Elias agrees with Franz. We haven’t done anything yet. Franz is driving it back toward Hammerfall.
Randon gives Elias a jewel that can cast true resurection. We can use it on Andromeda or put Andromeda in a robot butler. We don’t know if it would bring him back as a vampire or as when he was alive.
Second Cockpit is on the third floor.
7 Control Rool
6 Penthouse
5 Board Meeting rooms, ‘vault’
4
3 Secondary control room
2
1 Gambling rooms, slot machines
0 Pod Chamber - artillery shell filled room.
Jo stopped more artillery shells from being loaded but the ones that were already there are still loaded.
Elias may have found the vault. Code to vault is 6969. Sexy automotons are within. Turns out the ‘vault’ mis an entertainment room with standalone power.
Bael is mbreaking open the slot machines. Each slot machine has at least 1000gp each
Franz is leading us towards Hammerfall at 32 mph
The forest below us when we stopped would be completely depleted from the artillery. But no more artillery will be shot out. Franz leads it over the ocean, we all bail.
We each got 5000gp each from the slot machines. (Jo, Elias, Franz, Bael, Ashe, Bob) Bob doesn’t want his so Jo holds onto it for Angst.
Andromeda needs someone who knows him very well to be around for his resurrection ritual. So he comes with us as we travel back towards Hammerfall.
Since Jo took the sunstone during the Purple Worm fight, the forest began to die. Jo returned the sunstone and the surrounding area started to come back but it’s will take a while for the area to return to it’s full radiance,
We return to Jo’s home. Marian (Elias’ Mom) seems to be doing well. Andromeda agrees to do whatever Elias wants, for now it is to go through walls etc and such for us. Marian still really misses him.
Quartermaster showed up looking for Angst, upon hearing that he was doing something for the Raven Queen in the Shadowfell. He lamented that there was nothing he could do for him.
My dad killed Rupert (a lamb) for us for dinner
We decide to speak to the king about helping us destroy Isolde after dinner. There are strong dwarves that Jo doesn’t think we can convince to help us without the king’s backing. He served us dinner as we went to see him. The king, agreed to help us defeat him. He sent us to the treasury where he promised to send his strongest men to help us defeat her.
We plan on trying to defeat Aloevera in the treasury.
Session 17
On the thing above Rootwallow. We had flown up and see it’s 7 stories tall. We are getting ready ton go in when we were surrounded by ‘flapper’ automotons.
100’ diameter ring
2 Automotons on tracks dancing heading towards us. At a crescendo of the music the cannon shells go off and crash below. They are holding butcher knives.
The doors just push open, the tracks continue inside. It’s filled with gambling tables with trackless automaton dealers and a bartender. They shoot guns at us. As they reload we go through a hatch leading down. Elias and I had seen Bael through the hole in the stage.
4 pods made of flesh and metal. One has Bael and the other 3 have full robots.
Jo opens Bael’s container and catches him as he falls through the depresureized steam. His legs are robotic, left arm, and right eye.
He was doing a delivery for his parents, ended up in a caravan and when he went to run away he heard an explosion and everything went dark. He remembers nothing until we woke him up here.
He gets flashes of a spherical mechanical guy working on him. A single eye with wild lips… a modron.
15th of Azuthar is our current date.
Upson, is the robot Bael got his parts from. Said we are in a clockwork palace, run by Jason, a modron.
Session 16
So I missed the crossover…
In summary of our confusion…
Tasha made the Demonomicons. The Shards of the Sundering are within these books. We aren’t sure how they got there or how involved Tasha/Iggwilb was in putting them there. These shards make up a Shard of Pure Evil that was within the Black Diamond. The diamond was mined by Dwarves within the feywild. They meant to gift the diamond to the Summer Queen, but she was swimming and her sister, who’s name has been lost or purposefully forgotten, received it having disguised herself as the summer queen. Somehow it was thrown at the material plane creating the rift and the sundering splitting the world and into the 6 Shards of the Sundering.
Remish got us to Rootwallow. The thing above it is filled with modrons.
Session 15
So, it may be a bit of meta knowledge, but any disruption of balance in the blood war could cause the demons to bleed over into the material plane. If that happens… it’s probably Jo’s fault because of the whole bowing on the front lines thing…
Anyways…
I end up giving the ruby rod to Dermish. We are back in the 9 hells.
Session 14
Am I stuck in hell…?
Titivillus smells like strawberries and sage
Session 13
A purple worm appears…
Franz summons a fiend… turns out it’s asmodeus
Turns out Dermish isn’t a son of shoebucklers but of beings of another alternate reality that died in an attack similar to what is about to attack the halfling village near us.
Dermish also has a half sister who died in the attack
Somehow Jo got the ruby rod from asmodeus after winning at a game of cards
Session 12
The ferris wheel caught on fire from Mr Bucks lighting a cigar as employees tried to get him off the wheel. They used grease to slip him out but the lighting of the cigar caught the grease on fire. The fire was already taken care of by the time we got there.
John Battlebucks - Fat (500 lbs) human white tailored suit burned from the fire. From Pontamunte. But that’s the city at the bottom of the rift that connects the continents. Gave away his ring of fire resistance in thanks. He had it thanks to a fortune teller telling him he would die in a fire.
Ringmaster looking fellow approaches us. Realizes we are trying to figure out the boundaries of the mist surrounding the circus.
Yuri - Top hat, 7 feet tall. Opens the circus out of many cities at the same time. But as for how is a secret
Presto - maybe 14 green wizard. Pulled many strange things out of his hat including a book that screams when you open it and a frying pan
Blue robes
Glenda - 40’s
Glerg - 5’ Mushroom person. From the underdark Imperial Corner. Knows someone named Zuckluck who may know something about cold iron
Large floating disk by Rootwallow with fireworks coming off it. Been there a week. Fireworks may be artillery shells. Mechanical structure. Over top of the mountains. Could have enough power to decimate the city.
QM summoned to speak with King Dinmur of Hammerfall. Asked us to be his council.
Giants in the pass.
Druid sunstone was gifted to my parents and other dwarven druids gifted from the summer queen. Drizelda princess of Hammerfall, told us. The stone causes the water to be blessed in some way that any plant that touches it grows in the grove. The circle of stars restarted up within the last decade when Jo found Jothilda’s Sanctem the lost circle of stars.
Prime suspect treasurer Lenmur also a Druid. Maybe we think it may be a ruse since druids aren’t exactly know for their illusions.
Angst was able to confirm that Linmer is a Disguised individual actually a wizard pretending to be a Druid.
Angst finds some wagon marks and leads a search with Elias.
Stone of Oberon - not actually summer stone. Oberan is summer queen’s hubby. Oversees the forest.
Worshipped Eldath
Knick-Knack - brown bear my family found
Session 10:
Lykos mystery man all in black. Has horns and his imagination opens portals to other realms
Our Ferryman has a teddy bear keychain that keeps his cloak shut.
Charon ruler of the castle ipt
Galadrian Mistbringer
Session 9:
Elias’ code word for the broom is “paprika” in ____ language. Catches the Demonomicon
Dermish feather falls the rest of us, we all start floating in different directions. Going for Ashe first. Then Jo Dermish Franz
We tie each other to each other and with feather fall Elias pulls us to a floating land mass.
Ashe sees some birds and tries to get their attentions. Thinks it may be a bad idea and stops.
We realize Maggie is missing.
I realize that the tremor sense still works here on this land.
Session 8:
Elias’ new goal is to free everyone on the ledger from their debt.
We debate how to carry as much gp as we can…
We spend a few hours going through it.
We all gain several pounds of coin.
Toadvine shows up, claims Isolde saved him and he and Elias could’ve been better friends if only he had freed him.
Toadvine did something to Angst and tells us to look around the corner as he is off to bigger and better things.
Ashe dashes to cut off Toadvine’s escape.
Toadvine attacks w/ his scimitar. 3 Atks!
Elias jumps on the broom of flying and shoots TV with his bow, keeping his balance on the broom but the shot misses…
Jo casts longstrider on themself and on Dermish. Moves towards Angst, looks like he’s 300ish feet away. Shifts into challace starry form
Franz atks TV with Scorching ray, nat 20 and a hit and a miss
Dermish atks with Scorching ray, nat 20 and a hit and a miss
Elias knocks him out
Isolde doesn’t like Angst and has something against quartermaster and had TV kill Angst.
Jo tried to save Angst having Maggie pull out the sword in his chest, his lips were completely blue and the cure wounds boosted by chalice did nothing.
A hole opened up and sounds of blasphemy came through as it sucked Angst’s body into the first layer of the Abyss… Jo and Maggie tried to keep him from being pulled through but failed. Jo eventually gave up trying to save his body and stopped Maggie from being pulled through but her hand was already through and seems to be cursed as the blackness spreads when she gets angry as she took Angst’s sword.
We begins to plan going to the abyss to save Angst. In an attempt to figure out how to get there we go to the Essoterica again, new lady there. Sees the future with cards.
Franz pulls the sun
Dermish pulls the moon
Jo pulls the devil
Ashe passes she pulls one anyway but doesn’t share what it was
Elias pulls judgement
This lady is different than the one from before and wants to work us for cash
Elias looks at the ledger and realizes she has paid around 1200gp over the past 5 years and gave 50gp for the book of the planes ‘Great Wheel of Cosmology’
Dermish ended up give the 20gp asked for the book he was looking at on demons
Mama Maria was her name
Jo traded their pink cupcake for a fiend arrow and gave it to Elias. Turns out the cupcake contained a purple worm
We each bought a healing potion
Quartermaster approved of our dealings and led us back to the barracks.
Elias read through the book we bought Dermish did the same with the demonomicon
Pozoozoo came up as a name in an evil plane of existence, was an Oberith. Combined other oberiths into a shard
A shard of the shard of pure evil was in the black diamond that split the material plane in two. Pozuuzuu handed the combined elementals oberiths to Theresden(elemental) ‘the chained god’
Theresden plunged it into the depths of the elemental chaos starting the infinite depths of the abyss.
The oberiths ruled the abyss for some time but the lawful creatures couldn’t gain control of the chaos
Elastin good chaotic creatures were the only ones able to take over the abyss
Theresden ended up chained in the abyss and we don’t know what pozuuzuu is up to now
Pozuuzuu - Prince of lower aerial kingdoms Rules plane of infinite portals, palace of 1001 closets.
Only layer of abyss with sky is the first, has a red dying sun ruled by Pozuuzuu
Tenari are the ones who defeated the oberiths, like Orcus and Demogorgon first appeared when mortals died and started appearing in the abyss
When souls die they go the the fugue plane where they wait for their gods to get them
Many times demons and devils will snatch them before their gods can get them
Elias realizes there is a portal to the abyss in the plane of fire city of brass.
We are unsure about this idea as we don’t have fire resistance
Maggie says she thinks she can get us there and we go to her place and she pulls a tuning fork and starts casting plane shift. Jo tries to stop it taking the tuning fork their own hand turns black
….
Session 7: The Scamming Dragon
Ashe takes a lot of damage on her way out but made it with one hit point remaining
Angst hugs Quartermaster happy to see him alive and well
Magdalena pushes everyone aside to treat Angst
We get a long rest in the med bay and finally get a long rest
We tell Maggie and Quartermaster what had happened. Mostly Maggie
Terren Sozay criminal overlord who owns Elias’ debt who has actually been dead for 10 years. Barrett has been collecting Elias’ debt for years every month.
Captain Blackwood has said we are being called the Cultbreakers. Offered to help take down these scammers who are taking advantage of Elias.
She offered to protect Elias’ mother and train Angst.
Ashe brought up that Tasha told her Morpheus was alive. She rejected it and got mad. Ended up going towards the tavern.
Essoterica - Occultist shop - Woman owned overweight but super cute and friendly - ended up charging 6g4s for a book on the stars and finishing the runic components for the Augury runes
Esmeralda (Esme) gave Angst a lot of shit for asking for muffins with his milk (since he’s lawful and won’t drink before turning 21 even though no one cares)
Elias tried to speak with Blackwood about Morpheus
Blackwood used to get in trouble at our age.
“Look ahead, maybe not everything in the world hurts. Maybe we should trust our friends.” - Elias
Sickabods -people who will kiss your ass
While Blackwood is aware that people use each other she likes what Elias has to say.
She is ‘fine’ with Toadvine released and finds it amusing that QM told him to go to her… because men…
1 Toadvine hates authority
2 he’d do anything for money
Barefeet - Jo’s nickname given by the bartender Esme
We decided to follow Elias as he goes to pay his monthly debt. (Late)
Ashe follows as a squirrel
Jo follows the Druidic signs with Fran’s and Angst staying a good distance away.
Elias didn’t hide well enough so the collector saw that Elias was hiding and confronted him. He sent an sos to Ashe, she distracted him by climbing up his pants… Derek gets knocked unconscious by Elias.
Elias signaled us forward
From a cave in the woods some one says ‘ Derek bring me the money’
The entity in the cave offered Elias Derek’s place if he offered his head… ‘unfortunately?’ Elias only knocked him unconscious and didn;t kill him
After a couple passed threats, we rolled initiative.
Although instead of regular initiative Elias decides to by time and kills Derek by slitting his throat and threw the head to the Black Drqgon
Unfortuqnatelyn he wasn’t willing to accept Elias’ allegiance without the head of one of his friends which he wasn’t willing to do. We resume initiative
Franz ice knifed the dragon
The black dragon flew over Elias and he got booming bladed
He continued to acid breath Jo Franz and Ashe for 25dmg to jo and Ashe knocking Ashe down and 0 to Franz due to nat 20 w/ super inspiration
Angst atked the dragon w/ thunderous smite
Jo used a her starry form to atk and cured Ashe
Ashe transformed into a panther
Maggie is here and panicked as she realized we were fighting a dragon
Elias moved further into the cave
Franz Ice knifed him and seemed to hurt as he looked to target Maggie
The dragon grabbed Maggie and dashed off
Jo failed to atk him but climbed 10ft up a tree
Ashe reverted her wildshape and threatened him. The dragon dropped maggie
The dm allowed a wand of wonder reaction… it started to rain around her
Elias reaction controlled water to make an ice platform to control her fall and also caved in the entrance to the dragon hoard
Franz atked with fire bolt and missed… ‘so sad’
Dragon moves down to 80ft above the ground
Angst did something…
Jo Climbed further up the tree (25ft up) archer and guiding bolt
Ashe Made a healing spirit healed Jo 2hp
Elias took adv of the guiding bolt to gain adv and add sneak atk to the dmg
Franz climbed up a tree and ice knifed the black dragon
Thanks to the grace of the Dm, Jo was able to Guiding bolt the dragon as it melted and killed it
Angst told maggie to stay in the med bay… as that’s where’s she belongs
Jon used mold earth to unveil the dragon hoard
Shit ton of gold, platinum, gemstones, and a ledger of debts owed
Turns out Elias already paid off the debt but they were gonna collect indefinetilely
Angst found a +1 shield
Elias found a broom of flying
Jo found the ledger but gave it to Elias
210 plat
3600 gap
19000sil

Now we aren’t only known as cultbreakers… but as dragonslayers
Session 6 One Frog One Jar…
Dawns Rise
Outside the second hut with the beehive hair lady. And Angelina Jolie vining woman.
Glowing ponds by hut 30-40ft divided by path leading to front door.
Beehive hair is motioning us in
Elias try’s to remember Igwilthe - aka Tasha has a cauldron, famous witch/hag/magical person from Oreth an alternate dimension adopted mother is baba yaga (mother of all hags. Hates Mordenkainem. Beautiful Angelina Jolie vibes person
Ashe turned into a rat and ran back into the previous hut before it changed into the current hut.
Jo determines the pond is constantly evaporating and some mysterious green light is catching on the vapors. Franz determines the pond is enchanted causing the light. Dermish casts detect magic and determines that touching the pond would trigger magic magic. One of the ponds contains a gold wand with orbs sticking out (wand of wonder)
Franz retrieves the wand with a mage hand.
We go on a tangent naming our butterflies. Turns out they are dragons according to Nap. Jo tries many names for yellow the only one it liked was Amber - actual name Shoulabahn Camamban from the line of cinebite, Dermish named yellow Lavandria the Devourer - Zilinthrampiadoulmingous Sherandiliban (striker), Franz named green Larry, Angst named his Barveria the Destroyer, Elias names Indigo Indi.
Angst walks up to the door, large circular room, library, jars, skulls, incense burning, bones alingside cauldron being stirred by woman with beehive hair. Intimidating other woman (Angelina vibes)
Shockingly /s Dermish started hitting on her, we learn she goes by Tasha.
Angst felt insulted by Tasha when she said he couldn’t handle her and decided to show off his manliness by lifting the cauldron, he failed but lifted it anyway since Baba Yaga levitated the cauldron
Turns out Tasha is married to Grazzt and Avelora is her stepchild (Grazzt’s child)
Turns out this twilight plane is a separate Demiplane within the feywild but overlaps with the material plane.
Tasha knows the true name of many princes of hell. Grazzt Orcus Demogorgon. If she wanted she could make any prince of hell her thrall and run the abyss. She has a book vol 4 that teaches how to bind a demon. Franz tried to trade knowledge for it but didn’t have anything to offer
Tasha is thinking about becoming an archfey.
Dermish realized he knows one of Tasha’s spells tried to cast it on her with the deal that if he made her laugh she would hand over the book on demons. She counterspelled and cast it on him in retaliation.
Aveloras ex Malakos was trying to steal souls from Bouma when adventurers killed him in the Catacombs of Veiled Darkness. Now he sits in the abyss waiting to be reborn.
Angst declared that he would make Tasha beg to have him as her stepson. Describing a kinky scene. She brought up Magdalene, we learn that he doesn’t want to taint her… but there’s a chance as he wonders if she would be into that…
Tasha tells us that our best bet of leaving is at the time of the festival next year. Elias asked for lodging and demands squatters rights, she turns him into a frog and puts him on an shelf. Jo starts trying to get us out of here. She wont leave without Elias but the deal is she must have tea with Tasha first. Princess bride poison tea style Jo swaps the cups drinks the tea and turns into a potted plant.. Angst ends up putting on a gimp suit for Tasha. Franz uses the wand of wonder and turns the Potted plant Jo into a stone plant…
Eventually she agrees to bring us back. She counterspells Elias, Angst drops Jo which turns her back, then we all fall asleep for a year. We can’t
Yethhound was saying that Avelora wants us dead. Yethhound is loyal only to Avelora.
Our Butterflies turned into fairie dragons and help lead us back towards the first realm of day and Yethhounds are howling a hunting howl and we debate going to help or just finding a way out. Nap then offers to grab the book if we make a distraction.
Dermish plays a fantastic song (used super inspiration and got a nat 20) she fixed the dick she had inverted on Dermish. Nap stole the book and agreed to give it to us if he could draw Elias naked… Demonomicon Vol 4
Jo casts longstrider to speed up once the fairy dragons (now lovingly referred to as dragonflies) said they would fly off if we run into the Yethhounds. We find a few mirrors… One shows Maggie at 80 years old, one shows quartermaster about 5 years older. We see another mirror a bit off. Jo offers to go take a look and it looks like the night we left, but before everyone else can come over, 2 Yethhounds come in front of the mirror and guard it.
Elias builds an illusory bush to hide in
Dermish hits them with magic missile
Jo hits them with guiding bolt then triggers their aop and jumps through the mirror
Franz atked them with ice knife
Angst atked one and pushed one through the mirror to Jo
The two Yethhounds atk
Jo takes dmg and learns they can fly
Angst takes dmg and hellish rebukes doing fire dmg
Elias shoots with short bow
Dermish shoots fire bolt towards the one atking Jo crit fails and sets a tree on fire causing the mirror to disappear as he tries to jump through
Jo is able to kill the hound with her Yklwa as quartemaster approaches but realizes the mirror has vanished
Franz ice knifes the remaining hound
Angst thunder smites the hound with thunderous smite
The hound atk angst grappling him, critting him, knocking him unconscious… nat 1 two fails…
Elias atks him
Dermish fire bolts… misses
Jo tries to revamp the portal and fails
Franz heals Angst
Angst atks it
It atks Angst… but (crit fail) skewers itself on Angst’s sword
Our dragonflies return
They fix the mirror (Jo thinks it was themself)
they come through
We go to destroy the mirror but see ash running towards us chased by Yethhounds…
Session 4 Enter the Feywild?
Barracks are gone now the mirror is gone…
Where are we?
Amazingly beautiful and vibrant. Sun is beautiful vibrant but not hard to look at like usual.
Forest terrain is similar to Lurueamar.
Place wasn’t real until we got here and it became real?
Beet farmer with straw hat knows us somehow… Vinter, knew us when we were 10 vanished when we were 10. He’s 43 now
Time here is like a rubber band.He wandered into a mushroom circle, lured by a sader.
Mushroom circles usually guarded by archfey.
Aloevera’s name has power… saying it starts rainstorms. Won’t stop until Titania laughs. She is the summer queen.
Some dwarves are aware of Aloevera’s shenanigans. Or at least what happens with the fey here
Rincón and Repet from Blackmount. All dead because they found the black diamond. 10 sided, beautiful, decided to bring it to summer queen.
Ended up giving it to her sister but no one remembers who she is.
Dwarves are forging cold iron as it is super affective against fey and archfey, it causes them to permadie and not be reborn as a fey.
Visval - archfey that appears every year,
Ash has been channeling summer court magic for healing.
Jo and Dermish went for lilacs and oak branches with leaves. Dermish got charmed by a fey and is having sex or something.
Jo, giving them some time, went to the nearby trees where lilacs were meeting a Seder named Nap who she had a drinking competition with, won and got the lilacs but is drinking the time away to go back to Dermish. She drank
Frans Angst and Elias went for other stuff. Angst impatiently cut down some sunflowers and ended up trapped in a field of screaming flowers. The trick was to walk backwards to get out. Angst is unamused.
Looking for pinecones, they ended up in the feydark. Successfully finding pinecones they retreat finding a corpse and giant footprints.
Nutmeg Cinnamon and Ginger are left the dwarves had all of those elements and gave them to us
Ashe succeeded int he ritual and we looked at the sun and were tele ported to the summer queen’s court.
We make jokes and gain her favor?
She lets us know an archfey Valera will help us out. When we wake up from that night’s rest we are back in the fey Demi plane
We meet Velora and she is looking for the color red.
-Lost it half a day ago
-Don’t call Verdant Green
Backstory
The Oakenfoot family moved to Hammerfall for a few reasons. A few attacks on the clan caused a loss of numbers and the decision was made in terms of longevity and protection of the clan to move somewhere more protected and secluded.
Some of these hill dwarves still have difficulty after the 2 decades they’ve lived here to acclimate to the different culture. There is resistance to assimilating as well as a fear of losing the culture that had been built for the last several centuries.
Jo’s family is a relatively large one. Her parents Doutronelynn (Lynn F 175) and Durivrok (Dur M 187) she thinks had her by accident. She is the youngest of 5. Dalorgastr (Dal M 75), Sissilera (Sis F 72), Lurhouck (Lu M 64), Gladaerika (Rika F 51), and Jo… almost 30 years between the two youngest.
Jo has had an interesting upbringing. She is the first of the Oakenfoot clan to fully have grown up at Hammerfall with no experience of their life before. She finds it interesting how many of the mountain dwarves are happy to exist entirely underground. She has learned a lot from many different tutors within the clans both mountain and hill alike. She had developed a certain knack for excavating that the mountain dwarves were willing to help hone and assist with her study and understanding of stonework. The hill dwarves were sometimes afraid she spent too much time with them and brought her outside for long days in the farms and with the animals.
Eventually she found herself just going back and forth as she pleased. Her parents were always busy trying to build strong roots and a foundation with the help of the other siblings she was mostly left to her own devices.
It was during a certain excavation that Jo stumbled into an underground temple once used by the druids following the circle of stars traditions. Within were star maps with constellation maps leading to what may be other temples. She found this strange orb that when she touched it flashed brilliantly with those constellations. She didn’t realize until later, but that flash gave her freckles all over her body that mirror the star maps on the walls.
No one else in her family has any freckles.
She someday wishes to travel the world and find additional Star Druid temples to unlock the secrets they may be hiding.
Session 0 'Summer Camp' Years
11 y.o.
Going to Luruamar for the festival soon. I hope I make a lot of friends ^_^
Day one of the Equinox Festival
I think I mighta found a friend group for the long haul. Ma and Pa spent all of the money they had made on a bunch of sheep for our out-mountain farm back home. I was in charge of taking them for a walk and then back to where we was staying.
BUT... some really mean kids convinced me to gamble with them and I lost them all! My new friends, even though I had just met them, all banded together and they helped me get the sheep back. Angst and Dermish had dealt with these bullies before and knew how mean they were. They told me the game probably wasn't fair and wanted to help me make it right
We all went to the statue of Lurue to ask for guidance where we met this funny guy, Lenny (Liam Rhexx) who does business with Ash's family, paid Ash her for her family's annual harvest of Lupals. He then told us stories about Eldoria on the mainland. I want to go there someday. It sounds really cool! My family always look real sad when I ask them about the mainland, so I don't anymore.
He also gave me some dice, just like the ones the pirates used to cheat me out of the sheep! (I know they call themselves pirates) I wanted to try and get the sheep back and everyone helped me!
Angst and Bael didn't leave my side for support when I went in to confront them, Elias and Dermish snuck on top of the building the Pirate Bullies were in with a sack of bees in case plan gambling to get them back didn't work out, Ash handed me the gold from her family harvest so I could try a gamble 'double or nothing' to get the sheep back!
Pete 'sneezed' and threw the dice out the window so I called for PLAN BEES. They all had my back and we got the sheep back!
We did kinda disrupt the festival with our sheep and bees stampede through town center... many people got stung... so we have to make a performance tomorrow to make up for it.
I'll do anything for my new friends though and I will do my best in our performance. We are talking about doing something musical... I don't know how to play any instruments... but how hard can it be?
Day two
Our performance sucked! We were terrible! I'd never been on a stage before and for my first time we got booed off of it... I think we are going to steer clear of the festival tomorrow, maybe hang out in the woods.
Day three
Heyyyy Journal ;)
Today was sooo great. We found some fun mushrooms while we were in the woods and all had some. Now everything has been glowing pretty colors. When I wave my hand in front of my face I see like three, no FIVE of my hands in front of me. It really just depends on how fast I wave it.
Hehe
I just did it again.
Hehe
I just did it with my feet!
I feel like I'm seeing the auras of everything around me. It's so pretty!
It's like I can tell what a person if feeling just by looking at their auras.
I figured everyone should have a chance to feel this so I convinced Plan Bees to add some of the extras we had to the Potluck tonight.
Hehe
Everyone thought it was some of the fey...
Hehe
We took it upon ourselves to do another performance. I'm not sure what we did different but it was like magic. We were incredible!
Day four
Today was terrible.
I don't even want to describe today.
I think I killed someone.
It was Pirate Pete. I hate him but I didn't mean to kill him!
The Pirates ganged up and were drowning Elias. Angst tried to save him and hit his head. They wouldn't let us help him! They had us held and I tried to scream and fight back but I was too small.
Thanks to Dermish we gained the upper hand. Elias was able to get Angst out of the water but now he won't stop shaking.
It was just us and Pete. I just wanted to teach him a lesson about how we could've really drowned... So I pushed him in the water.. I meant to get him out
but when I went to grab him I couldn't find him...
The bubbles stopped
there was this huge snake
We left
We
left
I think I drowned someone
What happened to Pete
I want to leave
Day five
We decided to get out of town. Beach trip!
Ash got us her family's mountain goats and we are off!
Sometimes, when I talk to the goat I swear I hear him talking back. Lot's of opinions on the grass. Maybe it's just in my head.
No one has said anything about yesterday but Elias was shaking at just the mention of water. Somehow we convinced him to travel with us
Day six
