02:30 pm - 25.08.2024Beginning in Baldur's Gate
The Twins made it to Baldur's Gate, where they are currently staying in the Sanctum of the Noble Heart. They stopped briefly at Sundries and got lots of potions. They were told by Leosin to find Fatima Abdi in Athkatla before going to take on Rath Modar....

After the party, the Twins spent a few days at home before going to capture Zanieth. They met up with Zephram, who had stayed at the villa for just this purpose. They decided that a stealth mission was what a wise turtle would do, and Emerald scryed on Za...

02:19 pm - 21.04.2024I still have many thoughts about the gods that have been involved in my life, wittingly or no. My prevailing theory is that I was originally meant to be Bahamut's agent, much as Ethan is Ilmater's, but due to some malfeasance on the part of our dragon cult loving ancestor, I was turned into a Tiefling. Perhaps Ethan was turned into or meant to be an Aasimar to balance that out, perhaps not, it doesn't really matter right now. What matters is that until the Deal I was manipulated into, Asmodeus had no claim over me, though I was still of the Hells in the same way that my brother was of the Heavens. If I had to guess, I would say that the deal for my soul was made with either Glaycia or Zariel. Glaycia seems to be the more likely of the two, because I ended up in her convent. I do believe now that it was Bahamut who kept me safe and led me not only to the magic books I found in the Convent, but led my steps to the caravan, and ultimately to Silverymoon. From there...Perhaps it was the gods, perhaps my own love for the brother I never knew I had, or perhaps my own need to see something outside the walls off the College and Candlekeep that called me to where I am now. Regardless, I made that fated, cursed Deal, at which point I WAS bound to Asmodeus, but was offered the chance to renounce Him and serve a...different Patron. Therkat and I are a much better pairing, I think--our goals and motives align more (at least as much as any mortal can ascertain the motives of one such as a sphinx). And with meeting the Master of Flowers...I feel as if I have come home, and have been (re?)introduced to the one who I was supposed to be with for my entire life (with the exception of my Twin, because obviously), and while I had assumed that it had been Mystra watching over me all along, I am not displeased and strangely not surprised to find out that I was wrong. I have been told that nothing changes between myself and my Lady, nor between myself and Therkat. Anyroad, there is only one piece missing from this puzzle, and I have a feeling that this little bottle of memories can help me find that piece. But not any time soon. We have things to accomplish first.
Sixteenth of the Rotting 1489 DRWell, that Council went better than expected despite the different factions present. I think we managed to convince everyone that this cult is a threat to everyone. We told them of the pirates, the alliance among several cults, what they had done to Mevino's wyrmling (I'm pretty sure I saw the Emerald Enclave's representative's eye twitch with I mentioned that), and what they have done in other cities. We have been tasked with finding Lennithon's hoard, and of course the scroll is nearby, comparatively speaking. We're going with the Dwarves, I think. Slower and more costly, yes, but at least they won't destroy half of what they're supposed to be finding. And we have the lead in a map of the area and Lennithon's now not so cryptic clue. There is literally a mountain range shaped like a rabbit. Ethan and I are going to update our other allies, and I owe professor Thundertree a section of my journal. The girls have been out for about six days, and I miss them both horribly.
First of Leaf-fall, 1489 DRThey Grow Up So Quickly
The girls are out on their assignment to find the cause of the increased goblin attacks. I'm worried about Sarah being so young and inexperienced, but she has the knights and Jira with her, and has several spell scrolls. I'm sure they'll be fine, they'r...
05:34 pm - 20.02.2023Win some, lose some.
Zephram figured out what was going on with Jira. The hags, damn them to the Abyss, had done something to her, given her some kind of disease. It was similar to lycanthropy, but far, worse, turning her into what Z called a Slaad. They sent her to kill fo...
01:13 pm - 20.12.2022Waterdhavian Politics.
Home in Waterdeep after fighting the Fae, returning a long-lost Hammer of Torm to its home temple, and finding out some answers and getting more questions in Candlekeep. I finally met Harris, though from his perspective, he has known me all my life. He ...
01:56 pm - 01.12.2022Back at home from Candlekeep. Too much information found to process right now, that's tomorrow's problem. Today's problem is that Ethan and I were promoted by Acquisitions, Inc., him to CEO of the Amnian franchise, and me to CFO of the same. Added to that finally meeting Harris, who did not believe our story of an alternate timeline until the Emerald Enclave had examined our heads and Ethan went Full Angel on him. And watching Lulu mage-trunk her food to herself while eating supper. I kind of feel sorry for him; first his brother and sister bugger off to their won lives, leaving him to run the family business, then they come back literally as different people. He did seem to respect me, and showed a little more respect to Ethan.
Tenth of the Fading, 1489 DRHome again in Waterdeep. That was...something. Almost died, again, but my brother's holy magic saved me from Death by Pumpkin. We found to Pumpkin King after several hours of walking, multiple fights against pumpkin-vine zombies, and an encounter with some lovely faerie dragons who we found fighting one of the aforementioned pumpkin zombies, which we destroyed, *despite* the dragons questionable help. Although watching a pumpkin zombie doubled over in silent laughter was equal parts amusing and terrifying. Several of them were destroyed during the fight; my brother said some holy words over their little corpses, while I translated his words into draconic so the little ones could understand what he was doing. They seemed to appreciate it, and sprinkled illusory rose petals on our heads before vanishing. People come and go so quickly around here. We found the Pumpkin King in a pumpkin patch, because where else would an evil, pumpkin-themed archfey-lich-whatever in the nine Hells he was be found? He greeted us with "I see tarts from the Queen of Hearts." Those tarts proved to be a bit sour for him... The battle was obnoxious, especially with his...jack-o-lanterns? That spit fire? Trying to use fire on a Tiefling did not work as well as I am sure the pumpkins and their king would have hoped, and yet he still managed to kill me. Note to self: new Blight spell works beautifully on evil plant creatures. And my spirit dragon did wonders as well. And Ethan! He finally used his Aasimar transformation in battle! He was most impressive, and that new bow of his was what dealt the final blow to the enemy, despite the fact that we were all tangled in vines. The King is dead, long live the Queen, and his head turned into marble pumpkin, which we promptly took to the Queen of Hearts. As we traveled back to her castle, we noticed that the forest had already changed. It was a normal forest now, not dark, or scary. We could see the pixies. We told them they were safe now, and the fluttered around us, and by us, I mean they mainly fluttered around Lulu, who seemed rather bemused by the attention. We made it back to the castle and were immediately led into the throne room. The Queen greeted us with "I trust you have done as I asked?" We assured her that we had, and Ethan presented her with the head, to which she responded with "excellent, I shall see you in a year and a day' before sending us back to the boat, where we found that though we had spent several days in the Feywild, no time had passed on the Material Plane, and none of the sailors had any memory of the Feywild. We were awakened on the final morning of our journey by excited voices chattering in draconic. Several of Lady Mevino's wyrmlings (Cauldra, Medra, and Tendora) had flown out to greet us, telling us that since the black dragon is dead, they can fly around safely now. Little Cauldra touched her snout to my nose, which I think is a dragon's way of hugging... We rejoined Lady Mevino later that afternoon. I gave Marcella the Wand of Winter. I wasn't sure how she would respond to being given something that once belonged to the one who had hurt her in so many ways, but she seems to have the same ironic sense of trophy-taking that I do. The dragon is dead, but there was another mentioned in Parnast. I don't want Mevino and her children or her Bard to be caught undefended if there is another dragon out there. Lady Mevino was rather entertained by our stories of the Feywild, and more then pleased that we had recovered the sword. She cautioned Ethan to "know the burden of the sword," warning us that it might lead us into Hell itself one day. I've been to Hell. I wasn't that impressed. We spent the night in the safety of a dragon lair, and I teleported us directly home the following morning.
Fifth of the Fading, 1489 DRHave I ever mentioned Fuck the Fae?
Someday, my brother and I will catch a break and be able to complete a quest and go home. Today is not that day. On our way back from killing the black dragon, we found ourselves sailing into a deep mist. As it cleared, we found ourselves on a placid lak...
04:10 pm - 30.10.2022Convent/orphanage
I grew up in a Convent, the Watchers in the Woods. I hated it there, and when I met my brother, became and adventurer, hero, and Noble, I swore to myself and to the girls still trapped there that I would take over the convent, by force if necessary, and turn it into a place of safety, hope, and healing. With the death of the Bitch Superior (who turned out to be a night hag--funny how that works), and thanks to the gift of Reading All The Things (from Asmodeus, oddly enough), I now own the very convent-turned-orphange that held me prisoner for sixteen years. And according to this timeline, I was never here. Wish me luck in convincing the few who need to know why I was hells-bent on owning this place.
Third of the Fading, 1489 DRThe Sword of Saint Montclaire
Lady Mevino of the Coast gave us a lead on the lost Sword of Saint Montclaire, who was apparently on of our ancestors from several hundred years ago. She knew our ancestor, fought evil dragons alongside him, until a Black Dragon killed him and took his sword, passing it down to his descendants. We fought and I killed the dragon just as it was about to drink healing potions, and Ethan reclaimed the Holy Avenger that had been lost to the family.
