Session 8: Beyond the Witchlight

Session 8
-Last time: we agreed to clear the tower, find the stones for him-
-In exchange, he'll take us to meet with the witch queen-
-We've explored tower 1 and half of tower 2-
-Note: No flanking in this game-
 
Floor 3 - mold-like scent, something earthy. There's a round circle floating in the center of the tower space.
 
Portions of Floor 4 have caved onto Floor 3. It's a wild jungle of plants. Left unattended and growing freely.
 
There's a staircase that leads upwards and a bridge that goes to Tower 3.
 
"I grew up near to some nature." - Andra

all appear native to feywild

some are similiar-ish to the material plane but most are unusual

lowering fever plant

Keaton notices at the end of the room that there is a growth (bush) shifting slightly.
 
Cirian takes some of the medicinal plants.
Something sickly sweet starts perfuming the area. Becomes disgusting.
Korashana and Keaton are not ok and begin wretching helplessly and are incapacitated.
 
The bush throws up 3 dead bodies.
 
Cirian takes two out.
Korashana takes one out.
Keaton's spirit takes out the bush - Flower Power/Corpse Flower
 
Sickeningly sweet smell goes away.
 
Korashana lays on hands Cirian and Keaton for 5hp each.
 
Andra gets the shining orb (basketball sized). It's weirdly light like holding a bubble. It goes into the bag.
 
Short Rest on the bridge to get away from the scent.
 
Pugdog flies up, "oh! you're still alive!"
No one has gotten this far yet. Cirian plays it some music.
Their master went away before the witch-lady came.
 
"Was your master's name Vanvixian?"
"mayyyyyybe"
"Do you like riddles?"(uses the same riddle from before)
He was captured along with his family.
"What did he say about his best friend?"
"that I'm very handsome!"
 
Floor 4 - mostly demolished

Tower 3
Room 1 - staircase leading down goes to the ground; staircase leading up is normal. there is an oak cabinet.
 
Inside is a wine cabinet. There are 6 green-glass bottles in the bag of holding.
 
This space was a store-room of some time. Most of it dropped out with the breaking of the tower. Across the space from where you are, there is a chest.
 
Andra climbs out, nearly falling. She checks for traps then tries to unlock it. She manages to shrug off a magical effect from the chest.
 
Inside: pair of platinum rings, jade circlet, a set of paints (wooden box with paints and brushes).
 
Korashana uses Flying Ability and fails to save Andra. Keaton puts everything goes into the bag.
 
The Bag thing comes out again. First time Korashana sees it.
---
Room 2 (upstairs) - Bedroom, canopy bed, desk, small seating area, chest on the far wall (big double sized with a domed top).
 
Andra and Cirian go to check the chest.
Keaton sees a shadow creature go towards Andra and Cirian.
 
Cirian and Keaton are afraid. Korashana and Andra roll nat 20s in the final round and defeat it.
---
The chest and 6 items inside give off magical auras.
 
Korashana tries to open the lock. Fails. Wis saving throw. Fails. A weight of depression falls over her. She leaves the room walks down to the bridge and jumps off. She has her wings out and flies down. Upon landing, she exclaims, "I can't even die right!" and makes mud angels.
 
When it shakes off, she returns and tries again. It fails. "Do we think we should search for a key?"
 
Search for a key. No avail.
 
Andra opens it and saves.
 
Inside are a series of stones. Each different geometric shapes and colors. Each stone is no bigger than a golf ball. All have different colorations. Marbled green and pink, pale blue rhomboid, deep red sphere, pink rhomboid, marbled scarlet and blue, incandescent blue sphere.
