General Summary

Dawn's Rise, 1083
  by Jothilda Oakenfoot 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 Iggwilv - 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 Mordenkainen . 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 Graz'zt 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 Magdalena , 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…
