Session 6 - Party in the Woods

General Summary

Three days have passed since the tragic loss of Pentanos, and the group is still reeling from the intense battle. Despite the grief, they press on, clearing out the once hostile fort and transforming it into their new home. With heavy hearts, they hold a solemn funeral for Pentanos, honoring his sacrifice and bravery.
As they pay their respects, a new group of survivors emerges on the horizon, approaching the fort. Their leader is Galadrian, a renowned fighter and owner of a logging company in the nearby region. With him stands Neville, his hardworking assistant, a sturdy dwarven woman named Brynna, and a determined ship's captain named Violet. Upon spotting Vash, an old employee from the logging company, Galadrian immediately assumes a commanding stance, giving orders with a sense of authority that doesn't sit well with Alais.
Brynna, grateful for the group's prowess and bravery, pleads for their help in rescuing her friends who were captured and ensnared in a strange tea party deep within the woods. Alais, Gustav, and Sol decide to investigate, accompanied by Dendro and Whimsy. The woods prove treacherous as they confront a powerful Succubus who has entranced Brynna's four dwarven friends. In a gripping psychic battle of wills, Sol manages to break free from the succubus's grasp and, with a swift strike, vanquishes the creature, saving the dwarves from her enchantment.
The following day, the group gathers at Fort Pentanos for a strategy meeting. Recognizing the need for unified decision-making, they establish a council of six members to guide their path: Gustav, Alais, Sol, Aldor, Brynna, and Galadrian. Seeking resources, Shicka, Giran, and Kina are sent to the Fey fort to retrieve the cold iron left behind. Meanwhile, Alais, Sol, Gustav, and Whimsy venture to the dwarven mining town from which the group of survivors came, guided by Grimgar, one of the new dwarven members.
Leaving the Twilight Woods, they face a fierce ambush by a cunning trapdoor spider. To their surprise, Sol manages to communicate with the creature, defusing the situation and allowing them safe passage. As night falls, they camp in a secluded gorge, only to be set upon by a group of menacing bulettes. Gustav valiantly fends them off, forcing the rest to retreat, but the encounter reminds the group that their journey is far from over.
