Session 53: An ooze named Denise- Meeting the werewolves

We see Panfyr fall into the arms of her "fake slime mom" and she goes into a trance. Panfyr sees her mom in this completely black space standing on water. Ash notices that this illusion is connected to the slime and attacks the connection. This causes the "mom" to turn to slime for a moment, and Panfyr falls to the ground.
 
Jo pulls Panfyr away, but as she does, Illusion Mom says if we do she will be lost forever. Franz figures out we are fighting an Ooblex who is known to steal memories.
and they are weak to fire.
 
Panfyr talks to "her mom" and she says the last thing she remembers being killed by drow. but now she and Panfyr's dad are ok.
 
They talk about stories from the past. They offer for Panfyr to meet a friend who made this reunion possible. They walk up to a tent. There is a young heavy set girl peaking out of the tent.
 
The child's name is Denise. Panfyr's parents tell her it's ok and introduce Panfyr to her. Denise is the one who made this possible? She lives in the void and the blackness, and when Panfyr got close, she grabbed her mom and dad so they could meet. Denise wanted to come say hi, but she was really nervous and sent them instead.
 
Denise's parents were killed by the Magnuses.
 
The rest of us see only her parents, but not Denise.
 
Ash starts to pull Panfyr away from the slime, and Panfyr is told by Denise that she has to tell us not to pull her away or she'll be lost forever. her mom says that Panfyr is a part of Denise now, and we're like "Who the hell is Denise?"
 
Franz starts to argue with it, and then HE'S charmed by it. He now sees blackwood. Blackwood tells him "It's time for us to be together." She touches his face, and now Franz is standing with Denise in the tent also. Denise tells him they will be lost forever. She doesn't want to be alone anymore.
 
We pull Panfyr away and she is dead when we pull her away. We revivify her and she comes back.
 
However, Franz is lost. He's stuck in the soul illusion and if we pull him away, he will die, and we are out of diamonds.
 
Panfyr suggests we try to talk to it. Maybe try to get some more souls for it and ask it for
 
Elias tries to Message Franz and he gets the message, but he can't reply. Denise offers to help, and when Franz responds, it's actually Denise telling us all he can hear us.
 
We learn that Denise's parents were killed by the Magnuses, and then she got transformed into this Ooze creature. She doesn't even know what she is. She's just scared and alone.
 
She tells us that Ryfor comes and goes, and if she doesn't let him leave, he burns her, so she lets him go. Knowning she can release souls, we convince her to release Franz and leave Fred with her temporarily. She agrees with this, and we promise to help her if we can.
 
We try to figure out a way bring her with us, and then she starts to bubble up again and she tells us that she HAS to take us now. She can't help it. As she starts to bubble up, she starts to scream and yell and swallow her. Now tentacles are swinging around.
 
Elias uses dragon fire to separate us a bit from it so we can get away from her. The pipe that she is attached to is spewing the mist that is coming this way. We use the fire to try and push her back from that pipe. It doesn't work.
 
Ash considers joining her but is able to tell that it wouldn't stop with her. Denise would HAVE to come after all of us.
 
We decide we have to fight and put poor Denise out of memory. Denise sends Panfyrs parent's a last ditch effort to stop us, but it doesn't work.
 
We start to fight.
 
We start to damage Denise. Meanwhile, Ash climbs up and casts shape water over the pop leaking the fog. Elias then goes to check out the other manhole to see if this stops the fog or to try and see what is going on.
 
Mist is starting to fill the sewer now. Denise in desperation tries to take Franz multiple times. We plug up all holes in the pipe and it starts to just build terrible pressure.
 
We cast erupting earth, and this causes the pipe to burst a bit causing shrapnel and highly pressurized fog start hitting the ooze. Ash holds Denise as she dies, and then the whole place collapses severely damaging us and trapping us under the ground.
 
The pipe is now completely clogged up from all the rubble that filled it.
 
The towns people help dig everyone out.
 
Since the mist disappeared, the monsters are now gone. The village takes us in and we get a long rest. We force Panfyr into a group hug now that we all survived.
 
Man, what a night.
 
Franz tries to summon Fred, and he isn't able to come....Since the OOze got him, it seems he's not able to come back? Franz is absolutely devastated. Elias suggests that he might be on the Fuge plane. Elias has a one way ticket to the Fuge plane. A towns person tells us there is a spirit in the forest who may be able to help us get Fred back.
 
The spirit is strange. It summoned wolves, but the wolves were weird, and made of timber. He tells us where we can find this spirit in the north. It's on our way. We promise Franz we will try to get Fred back.
 
It's CorellonEmber 2nd 8am.
 
WE consider still saving the prisoners, but ultimately decide to come back once we have some allies with the warewolves. we convince the towns people to sing our praises and spread the word about us. We make some allies here.
 
We take a ferry up north without consequence. We land on a beach and there are 2 wolves there made out of splintered timber. Then an elf approaches. She has blue hair and green eyes. She has a purple robe with a hood. Next to her is Fred .
 
Her name is Amy. She's apart of the Greytris faction here ruled by Greg Greytris, the son of Baron Reginald Greytris.
 
Amy escorts us to her village, but as we approach her people start to kind of surround us. We get to the tree with Greg. Amy and Fred convince him he can trust us all. He is mad at Amy, because I guess there is something special about her, and she's really important to some kind of plan.
 
The light turns green, and this green light is glowing from Ash and Amy transformed into this tall fey creature called Leshim. Leshim is speaking through Amy.
 
Leshim tells Ash that she is lost and Leshim wants to help her. She then transforms her into werewolf and her subclass is changed to a druid of the moon. Leshim is now a patron of Ash.
 
We ask Amy about Larue and Maliki, but Amy is like, I don't know....because she's not Leshim anymore. Apparently Amy cannot control Leshim or when she appears.
 
The werewolves' here want to launch an assault on Jura Village. They have artillery and canons there, and this concerns them. Panfyr and Elias state they could try to do some sabotage.
 
We do not have numbers on our side. They have about 100 guys and there are about 25 guys here. Actually, there are only 18 left. The others never returned from a mission they went on to Jura. Franz mentions that we could break out some prisoners down south to try and get their allyship for this task. These werewolves want to live in peace, and would like to try and convince some of their enemies group to join them.
 
We could maybe take out the leader of the other group of werewolves. That is Reginald, Greg's father. We have to take out the canons as well.
 
We review a map of that town. We talk about a stealth mission to try and blow up Reginald's mansion where the gun powder is.
 
Franz says he could possibly disguise himself as a Magnus and infiltrate. He could do some kind of "inspection" maybe? NO matter what, we have to be careful about explosions, because some of our guys might be prisoners there. Amy knows that there are prisoners in the mansion.
 
one of the prisoners is Greg's brother. Greg is mad, because his brother took these members off on this mission, and it was without letting anyone know.
 
We learn too, that Leshim removed the curse part of being a werewolf. The other group still have this curse. So when they turn, they still have their minds, and they control themselves. We then wonder if Leshim would restore Franz. Amy can't call her, and feels so bad. The next time she appears, we can ask.
 
So we solidify a plan. Franz will be a Magnus. We will be his prisoners. He will infiltrate that way. When asked why Franz just says "shut the fuck up" Elias said he could disguise as Jezabel Magnus.
 
Jo and Ash might be tiny animals hidden in pockets. Franz gives Amy his Wand of Wonder. Joe offers to be a test target and gets turned blue for 3 days.
 
 
It's CorellonEmber 2nd 5pm
