Session 1:Return to the Carnival
General Summary
The party returned to the Witchlight Carnival after eight long years. To their surprise, someone had already paid for their tickets. Eager to make the most of their visit, they purchased an extra ticket. The carnival was a whirlwind of games, rides, and prizes. They won giant plush spiders, a wand with prestidigitation powers, a magical cupcake from an eating contest, witchlight wine, a unicorn horn filled with candy, and a packet of pixie dust. However, not everything was perfect. An unknown troublemaker caused chaos, leading to Amaru’s giant dragonfly ride to crash. Undeterred, the party continued their exploration, uncovering secrets and problems that were happening in the carnival.
They met several of the carnival workers such as Ernest who both members gave a button to and Diana Cloppington, and learned several things about the fact a coven of hags who stole their things and had cursed some of the workers. Though the party was off to a rough start bringing down the mood of the carnival they were able to help bring the mood of the carnival back up by talking with the giant swan Feathereen and keeping her in a good mood.
During the Big Top Extravagansa they successfully performed a act which greatly improved the mood of the carnival and it also earned them an invitation to talk to the carnival owners Mr. Witch and Mr. Light.
While visiting the lake to watch the singer Palasha someone in the crowd begin heckling her until she quit her show and ran away. Lalia chased after Palasha while Amaru tried to catch the heckler. Lalia found Palasha who told her of her woes that she hasnt been feeling up to the act since someone has been causing issues at the carnival and that the love of her life had his voice stolen, the mime Candlefoot.
When Lalia returned, she found Amaru violently shaking carnival goers interrogating them if they were the culprit. Lalia quickly stopped that and the two of them made their way to the Hall of Illusions to talk to Candlefoot. After speaking with him they went into the hall of illusions where they saw themselves from the age of Children all the way up to themselves in old age, (where the players described what they looked like in old age).
After leaving the hall of illusions Amaru made her way to the Giant snail races and Lalia went on the hunt for the kenku who they had uncovered has been the one causing issues at the carnival.
Lalia was successful and managed to catch the Kenku. She was able to gather information from her such as her name Kettlesteam the Kendu as well as get the doll that she had used to steal Candlefoots voice since the party will be able to meet the carnival owners. The session ends with Lalia making her way back to see how Amaru has done at the snail races
