General Summary
We Need to Find Teko for some reason
- Farren received word from Donnie. The sending spell materialized a version of Cedric in front of him in the dream scape.
Captain, it's Cedric, on behalf of Donnie Where are you, and did you feel the shockwave where you are? We thought it was related to the ongoing treasure sorting, but the giants report it caused some manner of flooding in their eastern cities and we've heard there was some kind of explosion near the Mosslands. There seem to be no lingering effects in Harold's Landing. Actually, one wizard is having trouble calling her familiar but that could be unrelated. Please let us know if you have any info, or need help.
- Harold wandered alone to the outdoor air bar from Beau's memory
- He tried to attack the dream rune when he saw it hanging from a sign. His attack was innefective and only caused Curls to ask him to stop.
- He asked if the satyr had seen a winged snake called Teko and followed in the direction he had apparently travelled.
- Harold found Teko in the dream of Wyldo's museum.
- Harold pronounced dream Donnie and dream Wyldo married. A sky ship crashed through the window and carried them away.
- Harold persuaded Teko to come with him. Teko felt cold, did not want food or fire, and could not speak, but wanted to help.
- Meanwhile, Alton attempted to attack Beau's shadow. Cold Sherry made the shadow act like it was dying dramatically, then mocked the party, saying she was "up here now".
- Kayelin wandered off, distracted.
- Alton asked Vaena if she knew who Teko was, saying he was one of "her people" and they needed to get him back to "her dream" with the other couatls. Vaena did know Teko, but claimed to have never met any other couatls. She also said Teko couldn't be there as Teko had died saving her a long time ago.
- Farren, Gantar, and Zed regrouped with Krumbleton and Matee and followed Alton, Beau, Kayelin, and Vaena.
- Vaena had apparently caused some manner of distraction in Alton's memory of his home.
- Harold and Teko managed to find their way to the others.
Wake?
- The party determined that they needed to draw the rune symbol for "wake"
- Teko and Vaena were happy to see each other. Vaena also started crying.
- Gantar greeted Harold
- Teko indicated that he could draw the rune tracing light behind him, though he didn't necessarily have to, and did not know the rune himself.
- Kayelin identified the rune for fear.
- Alton guessed the rune for shadow
- Kayelin and Gantar unfortunately could not recall the rune for wake.
Captain Flagon
- Captain Farren realized he was standing on familiar streets.
- He was approached by Captain Flagon, who wanted to discuss their next adventure with him
- Captain Flagon saw his friends and pointed out that more crewmates meant smaller shares using Farren's methods.
- The ocean began to rise.
- A tentacle grabbed captain Flagon
- Captain Farren helped free captain Flagon, who pulled herself free when he noted he remembered her stronger than this.
- The party opted to leave, but captain Flagon could not follow. She pushed captain Farren through the door, wishing him good luck.
Ascodel
- The group found themselves in the sunlit room with the large chair. There was a man with a spectral crown standing there. He asked who the party was and shook their hands, introducing himself as Ascodel, once lord of Alir and guardian of the castle.
- Ascodel felt vaguely familiar to Farren and Harold. Vaena thought he was a celestial.
- Ascodel claimed the last clear memory he had was of watching his "Lord" with a sad but determined (and plotting something) look. Then falling to Vickie. He was aware that Alir had long ago fallen.
- The party tried several things. Alton wanted to cut the unlock rune into Farren's arm but Farren thought this would not work. Farren did try smacking Alton a couple times.
- Teko indicated that they did not need to go to the other couatls.
- The party asked Ascodel for the rune. He did know it.
5 more minutes
- Vaena interrupted the first drawing of the rune. She wanted to talk to Teko, but he could not speak, possibly due to a complication of being dead.
- Vaena threatened to attack Alton. Harold prepared to intervene, but Alton hugged Vaena anyways and she did not kill him. She reluctantly allowed them to go forward with drawing "wake".
- Some hobgoblins showed up with a cake for Beau. One had a kazoo. One asked if Beau was alright, if she was being coerced, if the rest of the party had threatened her etc.
- Fan Dewstalker showed up, complimenting Harold on his "new" wings. Tiana showed up, followed by Yollaa.
- The captain proposed a toast, and found a table with toast. Captain Flagon and Big Tim arrived.
- Harold decreed they should have a drinking game, and looked for Goltag. Big Tim said he had been back at the inn and called Goltag. Goltag arrived with Wyn, Ryltar, the shrine keeper of Luin from Luin's Darkwood Temple, and Donnie's uncle.
- Krumbleton's brothers and sisters and Edgar Redbarrow arrived to join in on the festivities.
- A large group of mostly dark elves surrounded Vaena, trying to cheer her up.
- Kayelin looked out the window
- Gantar looked off into the distance where he saw all the Elini elves, safe.
- Fernando was celebrated by the crew of the Retribution just outside the window.
- Alton's brother Balok showed up and berated him for abandoning him. Alton perservered in writing the rune.
- Harold welcomed Balok and told him he was now part of the family too as Smallton, and also Alton had found a new family. Wyn asked Balok to be her drinking partner.
- Alton ignored all this, and with tears in his eyes, contined drawing the rune.
- Captain Farren touched his earring while drinking and recalled why he had sworn not to get drunk again. He recalled the fates of Big Tim and Captain Flagon. He put a hand on Alton's shoulder and went to help.
- Farren ordered Zed back. He also called a somewhat confused Harold over. Kayelin helped Harold convince Gantar that they had to wake up. Vaena and Farren helped Alton and Teko finish the rune. Gantar grabbed Harolds hand and glowed.

Success
- Everyone was tired, but alive.
