Session 37: Demis, Tanyth 12

 The party spent a few days at the hold to recover and work on a few things.

-     Lennie spent a bit of time each day flirting with Garth.

-     Garth gifted Lennie with a clockwork wind up music box.

-     He told her: ”I wanted you to have this. I bring this with me when I travel to remind me of happier times. In the last several years, I feel like many of my acquaintances have only ever been interested in my magic or fighting abilities, which of course is because that’s what has been needed. But you have been the first person who tried to get to know me. When you asked me if I ever tried a …. What did you call it? A churro? I was caught by surprise… nobody ever asked me about things that aren’t related to battle or strategy. I know it may seem very little to you, but I was touched, and especially after the last few days when you came to talk to me so many times, you are the closest thing I ever had to a friend. I will not forget you, and hope to see you again. I hope this music box brings you happiness too. I no longer need it, as you have given me another source of happiness. You are very special to me. (blushes)”.

-     Lennie was touched by this and gave Garth a mimic tooth as a gesture, telling him that a mimic can also change its appearance and also that is all she had to give him. Garth liked that and went to hug her, Lennie managed to sneak in a kiss on his cheek, which made him blush again.

-     Garth suggested that in the future he would like for her to visit his  home.

-     The party noticed that Novasset’s presence while they rest made everyone feel more energized. Additionally, the following things about the area were noticed:

-     Regional Effects of Crystal Dragon’s Lair

-     Clear Skies. The skies above a crystal dragon’s lair remain clear and free of precipitation unless magically altered. Winds blow lightly, posing little threat to those approaching the lair, and visibility is the best possible for the time of day.

-     Crystal Profusion. Plentiful quartz crystals form in natural stone within 6 miles of the lair, particularly in places where natural light can shine on the crystals.

-     Positive Energy. Any creature that finishes a long rest within 6 miles of the lair regains two additional spent Hit Dice.

-     Thriving Wildlife. Animal populations flourish within 6 miles of the lair. Ability checks made to forage for food by hunting, fishing, or trapping in that area are made with advantage.

-     Novasset lets the group know that there are extensive underground tunnels now, which can be used to escape in an emergency, but they also lead to paths within the mountains and can be used to travel. There are creatures residing in some tunnels, however, so beware!

-     Ariadne and Kalim sparred in the training grounds – Kalim won. That’s what you get for sparring with a monk!

-     Kalim spends time bonding with vampires, getting to understand them better. He also sends 2 monks to Menell Dilth to recruit additional help for the West Wing.

-     Kalim also deciphers new recipes.

-     Lennie helps Ariadne with her memories, and Ariadne reveals what she remembers about the drow, the corruption and vampires, describing what different ranks of drow look like. She also revealed that she has a brother that has been stationed at Skyhorn Lighthouse. 

-     Lennie communicated with Hazel (in Aerie), who revealed that a master blacksmith can be found in Multruvia.

-     There was also communication with Rabak (Armando’s father), who is eager to join the group in West Wing, and revealed that the Seldarine is not safe. The location of West Wing was revealed to Rabak so he could make his way there.
