Saving Arviss and Retrieving Kol
Met the druid Corbin who has been in Faerie for a very long time. He is a refugee from the war against House Diedne some 150 years ago. He shared much of his story and Emmeline shared a story of Kyrie. In exchange for a paire of potions of superior healing Em also told him of the current Wizard Guild rules. Hopefully he doesn't return with vengeance...
After much debate and work, we put together a plan to save Arviss and retrieve Kol. This involved sneaking into the Erl's hunting "lodge", which is really a fortified, manor-like abode filled with hostile guards and dangerous fey.
The thorn hedge surrounding the site was dangerous and poison. But I found a way to avoid the thorns by polymorphing myself into a tiny version of myself. I road around on Wren, who was in fox form. Easy peasy! We sneaked in through a tunnel and ended up behind the kennels (werewolves serve as Hounds for the Erl that presides here). There were some trials that tested our stealthiness, but we made our way to the tower. I noticed the inside guards were rather beautiful, if deadly, sidhe.
Wren and I made our way up the tower, found Arviss (wow she is amazing! quite the chimera/shape-shifter), and then dealt with the lock. We had some difficulty, so I came up with a simple but effective plan: I asked Arviss for a glass of water (her suite was a prison but well-appointed). I sent the water to fill the lock, then froze it. This broke all the tumblers and Wren was able to get it open! From there I cast a seeming to get us out. Arviss looked like a guard, Wren looked like a Hound Pup, and I looked like Seve. It... mostly worked. I had to dominate one guard. But otherwise smoooooth!
Once we got back to Jasper, he was revealed actually be a fox man named Reynard -- a supreme deception! Well, he rather owes us for freeing Avriss. Anyway, Avriss' eggs are wishes and he wanted his wife back. She was killed by the Erl. Arviss ultimately agreed, gave us an egg and we took Iris and The Todd back with us.
Things we need to do (cleanup) -
- Make sure the boy and the woman we also rescued get home. The boy acted like he was waking up and disappeared!
- Make sure Tuphia gets back home
- Return and speak with Corbin
- Return to the idol/statue vendor
One more thing: After I left the vale, I received a little scroll with a map! It may lead to an item that could help Wren!
