Session 0 - Sweets
General Summary
Despite Sweet’s handwriting being fairly atrocious usually, the first part of the entry is written in flowing script, when asked if she wrote it she doesn’t recall.
chicken puppy scratch:
After our encounter or really lack thereof we were tired enough to have gone to sleep? To be honest the memory is a bit fuzzy. I awaken in darkness but there is no fear and I sense despite the oddness of the sensation things eventually come into focus. We sit floating on the top of a large pool of water. My nose doesn’t pick up anything until I sense the familiar presence of Whimsy next to me, all at once it is as if a bubble has popped with a brief glance I spy two strangers in my peripheral vision but as they are seated too with looks of weariness and confusion my attention shifts to the 4 white robed figures in front of us in the light their eyes look golden! They implore our attention to a task at hand? I don’t have much time to think about it as Whimsy gets close and unnerved as well. We hear a large voice boom out from behind and around us.
Some hesitantly and others quickly turn to face danger and are stricken with nausea after the pressure releases. We are greeted to the sight of a goddess Gaez, whose domain is known to contain memory (clouded memory) and dreams. After a few questions and to Whimsy’s delight a few snacks. They implore our assistance, the help of the ‘champions’, the first of their kind, as it is realized Gaez is also the goddess of prophetic vision.
Fire’s Domain:
We start in the forest. Sweet paying way too much attention to the map gets swiped by a branch after stumbling around in the forest Whimsy points out the scent of a recent kill the duo with Whimsy carrying Sweet proceed further. They encounter Bindi- A Pomeranian Rougarou ‘elder’ who shares their encampment. After settling Sweet hears a noise and spots 2 golden eyes and wakes up Whimsy who trusts them enough to chase after whatever it was.At the monastery in the Feywilds:
Emmalyn is struggling to fit in and reaches out to their Satti and admits they don’t want to serve the court, intimidated by the sternness of them they push on and embrace their truth much to their guardians displeasure. They are threatened/warned against betraying but after questioning again they are hunted and chased from their home. A 2 tailed black fox with silver flecks and brown eyes leaves a black mask. Uncertainty in front and certain death behind, they take the mask and RUN!Batun:
Two mothers each with different coping mechanics one ‘smothering’ and the other detached but steadfast are promised by the enlisted family tabaxi assistant “wispy” that ‘Lady Bitterfern’ will be well taken care of during her adulting adventure. A whole ‘party’ is voluntold to come with. The woodleaf siblings will be attending with them. Set off on their journey determined to prove themselves they fall asleep. They hear a voice and the woods and fall asleep seeing the golden eyes. The next part is more Sweet’s style of"A scorned child’s return will blind his caretakers.We are suddenly alight with magics, and I feel the sensation that this must be a truth to them as the aura glows around me. Her priests remain unconvinced, but I will never argue with a goddess and I listen closely to the enthusiasm or lack thereof from the others as we agree to at the very least try. The doubt of her followers makes the party a bit wary, with the exception of Whimsy, the sweet bean who attempts to make friends with our companions. I would have politely shifted gears but this didn’t seem like the time or place and the best way to tire him out is sometimes just to let him get it through his system. Instead I focus on more information the goddess provided us. Gaez informs our party they will need to seek the ‘bones’ of the Primordial titans, the first Mother’s, in their tombs what remains is highly usable for dark magic and the threat looming could destroy everything we love and the world as we know it. I cannot speak for the rest of my party but after the goddesses' concern so shaped the air I knew I had made my decision, sometimes you need to seize destiny by the paws and if I could be of help I will try! The group's physical forms are separate and while we are told they will be moved, Whimsy starts a bit of a pissing match with the head priest on how they are acting, I very much agree and remain not a fan of her priest Kuroki , but at the same time understand that when the chips are down we are now aligned in a common interest, personally for all his barking I don’t think he has much bite, when it would go in direct forbiddance of his mistresses wishes but I will not air that thought out loud! We awaken in a new location, the scents and smells of anything familiar are gone, my stomach knots in dread for just a moment until my nose picks up the familiar scent of Whimsy and food? My suspicions were confirmed when Kuroki came in to explain the new facts with their winning attitude! You can read the sarcasm in her handwriting While Whimsy serves out some food and attempts to get into our new teammate’s good graces. I take a moment to assess our remaining teammates, Emmalyn appears to be alone and wary, I cannot say what has happened to them but they seem to be dealing with more pressing matters than my Rougarou compatriot and myself. The Wildshaper, Bitterfern seems to be handling their own affairs with their crew in tow seemingly well, while their ‘assistants’ seem to take things in stride, I presume adventuring is something they are at least familiar with. I watch as they take a pearl out of their pockets and feel my own sitting in mine. Whimsy did a lovely job holding the attention of our host as they continued to explain our goals handing out equipment. Apparently we are to adventure together to shape and forge some bonds with our new party mates. The bones we will be looking for are the mother of water. Our location is in Scarstonean Free Territories inhabited by orcs and the less volatile of their kin. We are headed north to Nami Village, mostly inhabited by elves and half elves, the local dragons that have changed the weather to a winter setting, as we all understand the powerful beasts can and want to do. Along with finding the ‘remains we are to help the village solve their problems. It should take about a week of travel and while I am not looking forward to a long boat ride at least I may have the chance to get to know my teammates more... A smallish pawprint is stamped on the bottom of her entry.
He will steal his mothers’ bones from their tombs, and make his way home.
There, he will make a wish. Darkness, destruction and fire will answer.
An autumn fern, sweet lilac, black foxtail, and ninebark leaves must light the dark, and quell the flame."
