T&T: Thither, Butter & Jabberwock

by The Immovable Mountain Yama

Corruption spreading out from the Fae circle
 
Sorn tries to pump magic into the circle, (Arcana check 19)
-Little effect, some fae wild magic seeping through to this side.
 
There is a small wooden trinket, toy soldier, in the middle of the circle
 
Sorn suggests looking for a Druid, perhaps to mend the item
As Pauly flies up and looks around it appears we are on a forested island, no clues or signs of civilization.
 
The group begins walking into the forest, Sorn with the wooden toy.
The forest comes to life and a dryad lady comes out of the bushes.
Cap. Pauly rolls a nat 20 on a persuasion check to calm their anger.
The Dryad tells the plants to stop attacking and calls us 'mercenaries'
"You carry a piece of the corpse of Meadowleaf"
 
Yama has given his word to vanquish the Granny and free the enslaved children. Failure would mean Yama ends up in darkness.
"Find grandfather tree or find the lost children and bring them together to stop the granny of night and send the children home to those who love them." - The Dryad
 
Elcorn, Little oak, Hither, Thither, Yon, Skarl - Names mentioned during the Dryads incantation to bring the Faerie circle back to life
 
As we re-enter the fae wilds Yama feels again the sense of longing and loss.
Yama turns in a slow circle and feels a tug of longing in a certain direction.
He requests the party move in that direction, and they accept.
 
Deciding instead to look for the rest of our party, the party decides to venture in the direction towards Little Oak
We stumble across a glade area and small voices
Pauly, invisible, sneaks into the clearing to investigate
It's a group of pixies having a tea party, discussing what a wedge of wood is.
While playing tricks on the pixies Yama accidentally steps on the teapot and cracks it
All of a sudden we are pretending to fight Pauly, Yama takes a stab wound to the armpit, turns to run and falls dramatically onto his face (While still gently cradling the broken teapot)
Sorn cops a polymorph and turns into a tiny teacup pig
Pixies: Spider lily, Cow slip and Maypol
 
The pixie's offer to introduce us to 'Will' who is good at bringing people together, and may be helpful against the Granny
One of the pixies thought Sorn was one of the "Shadows men" - who sends out shadows to kill unicorns etc.
The shadow king lives in the castle
 
Maypol, rumors:
Run around Bavlorna in a widdershins way she will sneeze because she's allergic.
Turned a little boy into a pumpkin head and now he has to make candies
Will of the fae wild and his getaway gang have a little kitten
Lamorna is really sad atm, amd she wont see anyone at the moment. Can only be heard crying constantly.

  • Will would know how to cheer her up

  • She is a unicorn, she lost her partner

  • She will only speak to other unicorns

  • Pauly is given a wooden whistle to summon the 3 pixies
     
    Yama takes the tea pot and promises to mend and return it to them.
    The pixies cast fly on the party
    The party approaches Little Oak, a treehouse is visible in its canopy. Kids play in the limbs, with swings hanging from the branches too.
