Expedition
Vel leads the group eastward toward Meinheld.
Session 56: False Awakening
The group continues eastward, and has a few zainy owl shenanigans. Sal used his braciole to try to find his friends. Cordin and Gus could not be found by the briciole, however he found Tom alive in Oseta, badly burnt on his left side, living in a small ramshackle dwelling on the poorer side of town.
Eri learned that Velsharoon wants her to retrieve a powerful artifact from the forest of palea by following the macabre chariot. Recalling Helm’s instruction to learn Velsh’s plans, she accepted his request and handed her flail over which rusted away and disappeared after waking back up. Velsh lastly warned Eri that if she didn’t heed his warning and left the artifact, she’d be leaving it in the hands of Illos.
During what you later found to be a collective false awakening; you all saw the crack rack burning in the middle of the woods. The maroon-robed cultist essentially denouncing you for not joining them, and sentencing you all to infinite madness, and Marrali in the other window saying you expressing her grief and disappointment in you. You all awoke again for real this time, hopefully, with the beginning stages of tincture, fully beginning to set in.
Session 57: Brogg’s curse / Statue shenanagans
The group continues their travel to Meinheld. Detlev contacts the sending stone: “You have yet to report back on the automaton. Have you found it? What is the status of E4.” Sal responds, “Followed tracker until it stopped, found the chip. Assuming he’s heading east still.”
Ogrekind reveals his previous employment under Thurgman to Brogg, and tells him he scammed him out his stuff when their fighting career didn’t take off, then he cut and run. Orgekind challenges Brogg to a fight in the Shadowfell Ring of Bones, which Sal helped negotiate from 10 up to 15 days. Sal begins making Throwdown at the Bone Ring posters.
The party hunts a carnivorous deer that hunts a gopher, and makes some jerky, as well as a turkey, which are bright red in Quoth. Giant Ape Sal helps people over the Irlurst river, but Wimby struggles causing him to drop the horse. Tem thinking quick with a thorn whip followed by Vel with an abyssal whip saves Wimby from going over a nearby waterfall.
Eri finds a statue of Selune, which most of the party finds highly interesting, and decide to investigate for a long time. Tem reconstructed the broken statue with mending, while Vel used his Moontouched scimitar like a halberd head from on the broken staff. Sal inspired people and turned into an owl, while Tem made an illusory moon, to replace the real one currently hidden behind the clouds, while Brogg inadvertently made a brilliant display of prestidigitation stardust. The clouds parts, the moon shown through the fake moon, alighting the eyes of the statue which raised the staff.
