some teenagers tricked Jo into gambling her livestock away
They went and prayed to the statue of Laruemare
Released some bees???
weird guy gave a loaded dice and 50 gold for families harvest
 
Ash's family is rich and has a grove that is harvested once a year
 
 
Year One 11 years old
Hearded all the sheep back to the festival and they ran amuck
We got punished and had to do a project for the festival
Did a shitty performance and were booed off stage
 
went in the woods and got high
 
were really good the second time around in the town.
 
Added mushrooms to potluck soup that everyone ate. The fae got blamed
 
bullies came back at a river, and grabbed Elias and tried to drown him. Nocked Aongst out. Jo then kicked the bully's ass and drowned him? But he disappeared in the murky water. We saw a snake coming towards everyone and they got out of the water.
 
Lot's of shared trauma. LOt's of Trauma bonding
 
WE go to the beach and use giant goats provided by Ash's family to get over the mountains. It's a 2 day arduious journey. We see a giant black rift going through the water between our landmass and the one next to us. Ash tells everyone the black rift formed when the lands were torn asunder and separted. Even though the land mass is so far away, we can see what looks like a tiny tower to us stuck in the beach.
 
After the beach trip, we go back to the festiva and while exploring, we find a cave. We see a woman who looks very angelic. "hello children" Her name is Milekie. she is stuck in the cave and has lost her friend. She asks for a favor. If we see her friend is a captive somewhere in Rimstone Reach. Her friend is a Unicorn. HEr name is Larue. If we find her to tell her that Milekie is in this cave. She disappears when we look away.
 
We decide to make this cave a hideout. Pending name "The Leaky Tab" or "The Leaky Faucet"
 
 
 
Year 2
12 years old:
 
Ash gets an award for an accomplishment and gets a tool. which will give her proficiency with them.
 
Elias and the rest have a terrible mushroom trip. Elias realizes we are mostly water and freaks up and runs away naked. While tripping, we find that someone is being controlled by a mind flayer, we aren't aware of it though. Elias is lost, so we all go to try and find him. WE get to a path that splits. one side has animals popping their heads up. The other way is a dark and spooky trail. Ash is insistent on going down the dark spooky path. Angst follows along to keep her safe.
 
Everyone else goes down the animal paths and are approaced by "Hello" fairies.
 
 
 
Ash and Angst find Elias floating in the air with a bunch of little brains crawling on the ground.
The group that went to the animal path were lured to a mind flayer by Bael. Bael is being controled by a mind flayer.
 
Ash and Angst see Elias is being held up by a vine. Angst looks inside of himself and somehow channels fiery strength to break the vine. we save Elias and we head back towards our friends.
 
Meanwhile Bael....starts to try and feed one of his friends to the mindflayer. As they try to feed on Dermish, Jo is able to channel a ppower of entanglement pulling one of the mindflayers off of him. This cause them to loose concentration on Bael and they all escape.
 
We meet back up at town. we use the training facilities of the Quarter Master facility since the QM is out of town, and as long as we promise to keep everything clean and keep our shoes off the matts. and we train for a while so we can protect ourselves. However, we decide to take the training weapons to the Leaky Faucet so we can continue training. Angst is very afraid the QM is going to kill him for this.
 
 
Later we are stumble upon an injured hag. she ages Dermish to a 17 year old kid (5 years) as a trick. she chases after us, but we get away. WE alert the militia about a hag in the woods and then have to explain what happened to Dermish and why he's older now.
 
 
Year 3
13 years old. There is a siren in the middle of the lake with a skull necklace. Ash really wants it and swims out. She is purseued by zombie drowned children. One of them being the bully, Pete from a couple of years ago. In an attempt to disarm the siren, Bael throws a wooden sword at her and accidentally knocks out Ash.
 
Angst, channels his QM's wisdom and his faith and bond, and creates a barrier against evil around himself so he can swim out to save Ash and Jo. The undead all turn and start swimming away. the siren was actually a hag with green skin. She slinks away in fear of Angst.
 
The undead release Jo, and she is able to get away having destroyed the zombie Pete.
 
The group finds a haunted house. Dermish (now the oldest) gets separated from everyone. This is Pete's old house. the boys that hate us, beat up Dermish and brought him to the haunted house. WE find Dermish tied up down stairs. They try to frighten us. However, Pete's ghost shows up and is angry with his friends and scares them away. He lets us go, because Jo freed him from his body with the hag.
 
We later stumble upon a magical tree that restores Dermish's lifeforce back into him.
 
Bael's family has a horrible secret that they have hidden.
 
Elias messes up the festival and gets barred for the next year.
 
The QM found out that the weapons missing was Angst's fault, and now he is stuck on Latrine duty.
 
 
Year 4
14 years old
Ash finds a pet rust monster that used to belong to Bael. We learn that the rust monster is used by his family to cheat out competitors by rusting their equipment. They give Ash hush hush money.
 
We find the remains of a lost prince- Jo finds his remains while exploring in an underground ruins. It's the body of a deep gnome child. He was killed by drow. Jo knows the family as they trade with them, and she made sure his body got back to them safely.
 
Dermish gets kidnapped by the lost pirates (the bully gang) WE get the authorities involved. The gang kills Dermish when the authorities show up. We take his body to the tree. However, the tree isn't stron enough to raise him. We all pitch in some of our life force. Ash and Jo provide 30 years of their lives. The tree gives 30 years, and the others give him 1 year of their lives. So far he has a life of 114 years.
 
Jo, gets a preminition while studying the stars. she knows that Pete will return one day and it will start the end of the world.
 
A seductive marage lures us into a trap and makes everyone choose between Ash and Bael. A and B went missing. The group finds a hags hut. Pete's spirit was there and is laughing at everyone. Pete took 2 of us to get back at our group. He tells them, that about a mile a part there is a rope that will need 4 people to pull up to save a friend. they have to decide which one they are going to save. The the east is Bael, to the west is Ash.
 
The group decides to make a deal with the hags to try and save both. This upsets Pete. The hag tells Dermish she'll save us, but at a cost. She asks what he likes about himself. He says him ambition and his blue eyes. She says she will save one of the friends at the cost of one of his eyes. Angst then offers up "another Pete" thinking that he can get another corpse for her, but she want one of our group to do that.
 
Dermish decides to give one of his eyes. Elias says that the witch has to tell us which friend she is saving, and she just laughs.
 
Dermishh gives up his left eye. She drips a hot liquid into his eye, takes the eye, and sends some ghosts to go save one of the friends.
 
JO was able to see that they went west, so the group goes east. They are able to save Bael in the nick of time. Ash is saved by the ghost.
 
We save a kid from a tree surrounded by wolves. the kid's parents offer a favor to Angst to cash in at a time later. He uses it to get a greater inspiration for Dermish's eye.
 
 
 
Ash has a skull necklace
