T&T: Lions & Harts

by The Immovable Mountain Yama

Sorn interacts with Malev in a dreamscape, and awakes in the castle courtyard
 
Simulacrum - 7th level spell
 
The crown Karu pulls out of a lake speaks to him in his native sea elf language:
"The beginning of Whenever
The end of Ever After
The start of an Age
The finale of every Moment
The first in History"
 
Lovely smelling roses - 5 different colours, 1 of each; (Chromatic roses- cone damage)
Black - acidic
Green - pungent bad smell
Blue - zinc/copper smell
Red - Dry desert
White - frost on the petals - Karu used this one
The rose bushes dies as Sorn takes the last of the roses
The earth begins to move and webbed sticky creatures emerge from the ground
 
We climb the stairs of a tower that leads to a double door
Above the door is the word 'Envy' in common
The door is ajar and shows Oak trees, a tall silver, statue lion stands atop a podium and says;
"You can call us Envy"
 
Envy - The Lion -
Wrath - The Hart - In the Eastern tower
Zibilna created the crown for guests
One form of the crown is silver needles, Golden roses is the other form of the crown
We have to guess the correct beast for each form otherwise the beast is banished
 
"To free the creatures you must touch them with an item of pure good and speak their true name."
Thinnings - small 2d creature, head of staff for Zibilna
There are enemies in Zibilna's quarters - Demon's sent as messengers from one of her Paramore
Her quarters are on the North side of the palace
 
Sorn kicks the door the in to a large eating creature who demands an 8 tier cake with blood red candles or we cannot return
Giving the giant the cake buys the party 3 hours of peace from the giant
 
In an Owlery we find Bloody Beak - Zibilna's Owl Mount
 
In an office:
"Dear Rotten Ethel, You have requested access to ancient rituals handed down by Baba Yaga herself—rituals that can be used to fulfill bargains. I regret to inform you that Iggwilv is unwilling to share her knowledge of these rituals with you at this time. Your coven has much work to do to earn her favor. Until then, she wishes you well in your dark dealings with mort..."
 
Malev is trying to free one of the cursed people, Wringle Run, so that he can take his Staff of Power
The owner of the staff is a party member of Elkhorn
 
Sorn channels two sources of divine energy into the Wizard to free him
A cone of cold erupts from the wizards staff and hits Karu, Lotte and Yama
 
The Jabberwock awakens
The Jabberwock will reform in 24 hours
 
The party learns Igwill is not her true name - and does not work for releasing her.
