S49 Recap: Goodbye Zona Rosa, Hello Breaking & Entering!

General Summary

The Holy Light of Aether? On My Valley Highway? #It'sMoreLikelyThanYouThink > DM: “A pillar of heavenly light shines down on Gwyf, granting him and his allies a divine favour to aid them in any coming struggles” > NothingGoodWillComeOfThis.gif > One confiscated radiant sling bullet (but not sling) later, the party sets up camp for the night. > Trying to sleep in a bright mist is not exactly ideal but the watches pass without incident. > Knick-Knack debates bottling Aether mist to sell, Kirin is confronted about her lack of jaguar related knowledge but is foiled when she tries to turn the tables on Serenas but is instead met with an infodump on the vital organs of humans & elves and the best ways to kill them (#NobleEducation), and Nova & Corayas discuss the music Nova borrowed Scribius to write. > The next day also starts without incident but just before they're about to exit the mists Gwyf spots a “mini-me!!” and makes the loudest noise he's ever made in the presence of the punks > #JustMothThings #MiniMeMania > This noise resonates like the toll of a holy chime and imbues the holy symbol bearing punks with advantage on saving throws > #HuhNifty > This was not at all a forced occurrence because the table wanted to roll on the random effect table again. That would be completely illogical and meta gamey. We would never. > So anyways the next table we roll on tells us there's an empty shack in the jungle which of course we have to investigate > Isati checks in just in time to ask why we're breaking into some random person's house > #AtLeastKnockFirst > “As Romad opens the wooden door, bloated from jungle humidity, a brief feeling of tension is swiftly broken as a trilling noise and a small form jumps out from the shack! > #JumpScare #GwyfingOff > Most of the party takes it in stride but Isati who has only just escaped the hyperfocus haze of her sewing projects, gets spooked bad and resorts to picking Gwyf up and shaking him as an older sibling is wont to do > #CainInstinct #I'mBiggerThanYou > Unfortunately, as younger siblings are wont to do, Gwyf handily escapes this grapple and flutters to the roof of the shack > The punks poke around with little results until Nova just barely notices an invisible spy > Thoroughly rumbled, the fir darrig attempts to sow fear among the punks only to be thwarted by the holy advantage on saving throws > SniperSnap.gif > Gwyf was more frightening > Anyways Nova proceeds to show of their high jump skills and #SlamDunks the rat boi out of the rafters > Meanwhile outside Isati gets Gwyf away from the #RatBois for everyone's sake, Kirin takes note of more invisible fae, and Corayas runs off in hot pursuit. > Back inside, the bloodcrusted fear fae has taken a beating both from the punks and his own fuck ups. The punks unfortunately have varying levels of belief with regards to sad fae “not knowing fuck all” > As a result the fir darrig goes up in flames only to implode into poppy petals, fancy dagger and all ☹ > Serenas and Romad breeze past that last bit though and right into “I was trying to get information out of him” / “He didn't know anything else!” > Nova on the other hand... “WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THAT AND NOT THE FACT THAT HE TURNED INTO POPPY PETALS‽‽‽‽‽” > #Priorities #HowTheFuck > After all that dies down Corayas is retrieved from the undergrowth, Nova acts on impulse, and similar stowaway signs are found beneath the carriage, though luckily there's no magic fuckery to be found. > Also Knick-Knack had bet Serenas the shack would explode and now pays up the four silver (which are called obols in world and I forgot the players were not aware of this random trivia I had written like two nights ago and not told them about.) > Anyways see y'all next week!
