Session 59: Calamis, Ithronel 2

Once all the affairs were dealt with in Menell Dilth, Zannan transported everyone (via circle) back to the keep. Unfortunately, Elenion will not see the resolution of her Arvandor Apparel prank on Heidi.

Coleen got very angry once she saw Brandybuck. She blamed him for delaying her in her pursuing her sisters.

Coleen demanded that Brandybuck helps her go after her sisters, to make up for his mischief. Brandybuck wants to help her, but the group is hesitant to immediately pursue the issue.

Back at the keep, Elenion asked Halaema to keep an eye out for rubies worth 1,000 gp (to cast Forbiddance spells at the keep).

Elenion scries on Coleen’s sisters. They are alive, but apparently trapped in crates, being transported. Lennie also cast spells on the temple, to allow the vampires to enter it, but so that nobody can teleport (or plane shift) in and out of it.

Zannan and Brandybuck got new tattoos!

The group plans their approach. They decide to attempt to take back the Sanguine Raider, but getting there is the biggest challenge. They share all information with Coleen (except for info regarding Hazel’s schematics and orb of Yigdrasiil). They decide to go to Multruvia, and secure a ship from there.

On Ithronel 2^nd, the group teleported to the circle underneath the City Guard building in Multruvia. Upon arrival, the group quickly realized that this part of town has been consumed by corruption, which advanced very quickly over the last week.

The only consolation is that not the entire town fell to corruption, but there are some refugees on the western side of town, many of which took refuge in the local tavern, including Nephira and the rest of the remaining sanguine raider crew.

The Mayor of Multruvia left town with his VIPs, taking the last two ships, so whoever remained, is stranded here. Many refugees left via land, and are headed west.

The group made their way to the general store, which has been heavily raided and picked through, but found some useful supplies still.

Session 58: Solas, Tanyth 24 - Solas, Ithronel 1

The group got settled and comfortable at the keep.

Zannan wrote a note to Cui Long, thanking for the help, as well as sending back a spell book.

Brandybuck asked Kalim for Coleen’s lute, so he could return it to Lennie. Lennie messaged Coleen to let her know the lute is safe.

Lennie got 50% off of cost for making armor because of their help in getting Katrina and Eryn to a safer place. Lennie owes 4,250 gp.

Hazel started working on blueprints that were demanded by Vaeri. She wants to add a kill switch. Zannan helped (Arcana check: 22). Hazel wanted to make sure it was well hidden within the blueprints (Stealth check: 24). The kill switch will have a verbal component that anyone who knows the word can say.

The group decided to head over to Menell Dilth to purchase items and talk to Knock Knock at Tattoocan about her daughter. During their travels through Khaorvandor Forest, they saw a Tyrannosaurus rex chasing a group of ankylosaurs. The group managed to stay undetected by the huge creatures that rushed by, leaving a wide opening through the forest.

Upon arrival at Menell Dilth, later in the afternoon, Lennie headed straight to Arvandor Apparel’s back door area. She started casting a glyph of warding with “Meld into Stone”, so that Heidi (the store clerk) may turn into stone for 8 hours should she step on it.

Brandybuck headed over to Imagi Knit (the magic component store) along with Zannan. He inquired about getting magical armor, which the shop keeper can do, but requires a piece of armor first. So Brandybuck went to the blacksmith and got studded leather armor to be enchanted. On his way there, he saw Coleen heading towards Tatiana’s tavern.  

Meanwhile Hazel and Zannan talked to Knock Knock about taking her to the keep to see her daughter. She immediately agreed and also revealed many of her children (Ring Ring, Tap Tap, and Bong Bong) have been taken.

Hazel also messages Coleen about knowing that her sisters are east of Multruvia. She also lets Hazel know that she knows Brandybuck’s face, which Hazel then tells Brandybuck.

Coleen also accompanied the group to the West Wing.

Zannan’s Ivory statue looks like…. a good effort…

Session 57: Solas, Tanyth 24

The group made their way to the tavern, where they noticed that Zix, Lila and Ding Ding were all there waiting for them in the attic room. Zix agreed to go home with the children for the night, under the promise that they could leave the next morning.

The group agreed to let him know early in the morning when they were ready to depart.

Lennie sent a few messages: first to her father, letting him know there may be an impostor trying to get in to Aerie very soon. She also told him she has a big cut on her face and that there may be some planar issues. Lord Kauma wanted to know who the impostor is, where they are, and when they may be traveling.

Messaged Olena as well to let them know they are on their way tomorrow.

Meanwhile Brandybuck headed downstairs to meet with Nephira. She let him know that most of the crew has been doing odd jobs around the docks, but she expressed concerns with their living arrangements since they don’t have a ship. Brandybuck handed them 800gp, which she was very grateful for and assured that this would keep them fed and accommodated for a good amount of time. They will stay put in Multruvia or perhaps look for passage to Menell Dilth to get out of this gloomy place.

Lennie also managed to restore Garth’s mind, and he can once again talk and be his normal self, albeit very tired and distressed.

Zannan cast alarm around the room before they all went to bed, with the sound “beep beep beep”.

The next morning, Zannan, Lennie and Brandybuck head out of the tavern to get the blacksmith and leatherworker (Katrina and Eryn), and secure their passage to the West Wing as well. Around town, guards are seen hanging wanted posters around town for two criminals: the drawings look like a human male (Forrest Gump) and female (Jessie Graff). Bounty of 100 gp “To be brought in alive for questioning, for their horrendous crime of theft, and bringing irreparable sentimental loss and damage to the good valuable and vulnerable people of Multruvia”. Lennie made sure to keep a small stack of the posters (5 of each).

Upon returning to the tavern, they were happy to see a well rested Garth and Remi sitting at the table with Hazel. Brandybuck gave Garth a set of fine clothes, which he received with much joy.

Once everyone was ready, they teleported to the circle in what used to be the Hopeful Dawn’s quarters. Lennie had a hard time with the memories this very room brought her. This is where she learned for the first time that Ariadne was in fact a drow. Ironic that today the group finds themselves here again, helping another drow.

They were all well received at the West Wing, and made to feel right at home, including Zix.

Hazel cast detect thoughts on her brother, and the only faces she could get from it were the drow that fed him, as well as the tieflings from “The Hells Belles”. Elenion scried on Hazel’s mother, and she appeared well at home, with her other brother. She looked sad.
