Session Ten (ch2s1): Pit of Despair Report
General Summary
2345/2/9
Party spent majority of the morning checking in w/ their patrons & asking lots of questions before heading to the market. The primarily visited the magical cosmetics booth "Sephaera" run by a pixie named Jezabelle. Vortex bought two watches: one w/ current Fiarovana time & the other meant to track time in the Faewyld. Myrwan Infelix was able to sell all their trinkets & wine stolen from Edgar Allen Poe's house at their full value. Once done preparing for their journey, they huddled together behind Vera and traversed through the Symbol of Eldath (a waterfall cascading into a still pool) into the Faewyld.Bishop approached the party disguised as an old woman in need of their assistance. The party quickly discovered this to be an illusion & he introduced himself properly. Party traveled NorthEast into a Labyrinth vibrant with life. They followed the wind to the Pit of Despair. Party passed a skill challenge to get across safely. {check video for details} As soon as leaving the Pit behind, the party noticed the Labyrinth's trees' leaves were now falling & completely covering the ground. Bishop realized they had probably just passed the challenge of the Autumn Court. The party continued West before being diverged South. Seeming like they were traversing into an area of the Labyrinth with more life, they paused for a rest.

Character(s) interacted with
Myrwan Infelix chatted w/ Luci about cults. Luci offered Sanctus access to their library, to use as well as to store things in. Lucia Utridge asked around The Grove for more information on the Vecnarim's movement. She didn't learn any new information, but it did seem like the residents were reluctant to speak freely with a druid. Lucia Utridge thinks this is probably the result of a druid from a newer circle causing trouble. Corva Roth and both talked to Eldath about the Faewyld. Her advice:
Don't try to win, just survive.Entire party met Bishop (played by Chris) in the Faewyld.
