Session 28 - Some Answers
General Summary
As the body of the creature hit the ground, the group noticed a ring on the Werewolves finger, made from the same metal as Cryovains neck, glowing and fading away.
As everything goes quieter around them, the fog on the floor grows around them to knees height and the body of the dead werewolf snaps and reanimates into place, dead empty eyes staring.
A scream grows in volume before stopping and a familiar female voice comes through the reanimated body.
"You again!" Varalla hisses at them. As the group swapped insults and questions, she answered all with an attitude of self importance before offering them a chance to join her. They need just release themselves from these Feye and she can make them more powerful.
Not wanting to be controlled by her, they reject her as she threatens them with destroying all that they care about.
Leaving them with her name, she dissapears, all 4 pillars shoot flame high and 2 fire elements come out of the flames as they enter battle.
After an swift battle with a huge water spell destroying the Fire Elementals and Saskia coming in to help Harry out, they quickly leave and head back to the safety and calm of Saskia's house.
Sitting down in the house at the table and grabbing multiple bottles of wine, the group take some time ask questions.
- Harry explains he tried to use the ring but was knocked out as soon as he was jumped by the beast
- He explains that the ring is in a chest with other treasure back in the cave
- Saskia tells the group that Varalla was not Fey but from the Shadown Realm
- As they discussed about what to ask in the Commune sessions, Saskia offers to let them visit the Feywild to speak to their dieties.
- Just like the Feywild where stories of pixies, moving trees and hags come from, the Shadowrealm is its equal in werebeasts, vampires and zombies
- Saskia was born in the Feywild, half elf, half Fey creature and brought back to the material plane as a young child never to return
- It has been a long time since she has heard of anything from these planes crossing. So long that these creatures who used to be seen have turned into childs stories and myth. Until now.
- Saskia was raised in Glimmerfall but has never been back as its too dangerous
Before that she talked to them each about their gods and who/what they are.
The Keeper
Aislaine, The Maiden
Overview of Aislaine, The Maiden
Dragonkin
As they finished talking, they sat in a circle together and breathed in the ground down root that is now boiling in a kettle in front of them. As they faded back each awoke in their own Fey dream.
Hiraani Trip
Key points
- She appeared to have a slight crush on The Keeper with some sort of history
- Faen and Doge are mirror images between the planes, everything Doge sees, she sees
- "Its not about being a hero, its doing the right thing" is exactly why she chose him
- Whatever happened to the ship he tried to save and his interference, caused something to happen with the planes. Like something broke between them and they could see into this plane
- She saw instantly Hiraani, his heart and what this creature was cursing him with. She chose to help in that instant
- They need to find what was in the ship somehow as well as break the curse
- He needs to destroy the Water Djiini to end the curse
- They need to find a way to restore the inblanace.
- To find the Djiini, start at where you found the book
Lorena Trip
Key points
- Varalla probably doesn't know about the Dragonkin... however she probably knows now
- Not previously been an enemy and never heard of her before
- Fey cannot see anything from the Shadowrealm and nor they can see what happens with the Fey
- She also cannot see the party due to the Fey powers within them
- Her eyes have probably shifted from Phandelvin to other stronger places
- Look to the Jorus for what may be the biggest threat
- Lorena will need all the people behind her if a giant battle commences and the Jorus is one of them
- She grants Lorena stronger powers through her armour to help her be more agile in battle
- Lorena needs to find out why and how this inbalance is happening
- The Dragonkin will try and research more about what might have happened in their historical books
Graa Trip
Key points
- The Keeper has a bottle of infinite booze
- Sees alot of himself in Graa and very happy with how well he is doing
- Kind of worried about Varalla as if things go inbalanced, he could lose a lot of his fun time and risk the Feywild being destroyed. Very uncool.
- Definitely a decent guy
- Will look through his books of all the history around this inbalance and what could be causing it
- Has a massive collection of Tombs to dig through
- Suggests sticking with that Crispin fellow
As they all come awake, they see Saskia smiling at them and morning come as the 5 minutes turned into 14 hours...
