Session 86: I Think I Might Be a God

General Summary

  The session began, around 1AM on Solis 7, 2598 as the party had a path forward the next morning, to visit Alena Birch's grandmother down far south in the Gu'us Empire.
  Advisor Sil'a checked in on the party and where to go next and they decided to be dropped off at a tree en route to Foun (about 7 days away). After this Alena Birch sent a message to her grandmother letting her know about her arrival:
 
Hey Gram, wanted you to know my companions and I are on our way to you. We need information on one of our folktales. Alena

 
I'm so excited to see you again and your friends! I'll make sure to set up a feast, when will you get here?

 
7 Days

  On their way, Alena Birch taught Tork more languages, Rodan Spice spent time with Donkey and Advisor Sil'a, while everyone else spent their time doing assorted tasks. After seven days, they arrived at the Northern Coast of the Gu'us Empire where they disembarked to tree travel to Oakwood Village via a tree teleportation. With the party came Donkey (wearing the horseshoes of Zepher), Zirk, and Jandar.
  The party arrived at Oakwood Village where they were greeted by a massive ring of oak trees, 1/2 mile in radius. In the center were structures made from woven roots themselves with shoots of oaks growing off of them as well. They made their way to the center of the village where they went into the counsel of the elders and met Kai, Alena Birch's grandmother. She was a kindly woman, graying but with laugh lines on her elegant face. She invited the party to stay at her home and that she would speak with them about their questions after the party and feast that evening or the next morning. With this, the party left the counsel of the elders and headed over to the training area. The instructor (master at arms) demonstrated some tricks with an apple and a long bow before allowing Tork to try it.
  After this the party returned to Kai's home that was one story but had several below ground levels. Alena Birch's room was modest, covered in green and tree branches, and some pegs for weapons. Eventually Kai returned and brought the party to a large feast taking place in the winding streets of the village. During the feast Rodan Spice propositioned Kai but she said she had too much on her mind at the moment. Alena Birch also went ahead and chatted with Skye and Juniper during the meal, Juniper talking about some of the happenings of the counsel of the elders and Skye talking unceasingly about hunting and everything else.
  After the meal, everything was cleared away for dancing, music, stories, drinking, and smoking. Alena Birch taught some of the children some of their traditional dances while a child got Tork to dance with him after Kale went invisible. Rodan Spice then danced with the woman who quickly disappeared with him down an alley. At the same time, Alena Birch grabbed Atticus and brought him to dance with her while Tork taught some dances he knew. The party wound down around 11PM and returned to Kai's home where Alena Birch informed her that they would like to ask a question about fairytales, and she said the elders would like to learn about what Alena Birch has learned of magical beasts on her travels so far and also might have a request for help from her and her friends. With this the party prepared for bed when Rodan Spice came barging back in without his shirt on and a slash across his chest. He told the party how he was attacked by a shadow demon who drank his blood and temporarily paralyzed him. They followed him back to the house where it happened and they investigated it; in doing so they found the bedroom had some magical soundproofing and a stone (3"x4" rectangle) that looked like slate was super light and had faint abjuration magic which Atticus dispelled. The party decided then to head back to Kai's to sleep for the night.
  The next morning Kai cooked a big breakfast of porridge, breads with butters and jams, and fried eggs before departing on some errands, promising to meet up with the party at the hall of elders around 9AM. As the party wandered through the village, they eventually met up with Kale and filled him in on their evening adventures. He shared he had been talking with the trees for the night and was happy they weren't talking back. They then made their way to the counsel of the elders where Rodan Spice told about the woman who stole his blood.   The Story of the Ancient Evil Tree.
This is an old story. Not because it is old, but because it feels old, and reminds us of old things and makes us feel old ourselves. There once was a Great Tree. It was an ecosystem unto itself. This tree however decided it did not want to die and pass on its seeds to the next generation. Instead, it grew greedily, grabbing up more sunlight and going deeper with its roots. However, one day, its roots went so deep it hit something ancient and evil. It drank greedily, and it began to wither. Its canopy fell away, its bark cracked and fell off, and its branches became gnarled. However, the tree itself did not die, but stayed there as a memorial to greed and a reminder that all things have their season and must pass on.
  The Session ended on Solis 15, 2598 within the Hall of the Elders in Oakwood Village around 9AM as Joint Operations LLC as the counsel of elders prepared for @Alena to report on the magical beasts she had encountered and then to request a favor of the party.
