Session 37: One Flou Flou over the Dragon's Nest

by Asharene Shadowthorn

We have woken up at our base and have decided to try and find some sending stones so we can stay in contact with the city and try to learn about vampirism/vampire spawn stuff.
 
Ashe reads the book from Lyra and learns that they actually sent the REAL Living Flame back to this area when they ran into him. We learn they have 2 shards. Ashe writes that it's fucked up that they sent this dragon back to a populated city. She tells Lyra she doesn't think they can be friends anymore.
 
At that time we see a gigantic red dragon land in the city. He' s not destroying anything. Aria shows up and put up a mythil around the castle. She says she's going to get her people and see what The Living Flame wants. Meanwhile, we are going to go to the academy and see what we can find there to help. Franz sends Fred with Aria. Aria warns us that there may be followers of Passin still at the academy so be careful.
 
When we get to the academy, everything is in upheaval. Many of the faculty and more powerful students are headed to deal with the dragon.
 
The professor that we dealt with a few days ago walked by and Elias tells her that he doesn't think it's a good idea that they are sending ALL of our most powerful people at once to the dragon. It'll show our hand and IF he decides to attack, we could lose everyone all at once.
 
They decide to leave some of the students and a teacher with us.
 
We decide to look into the history of the city since the dragon seems interested in this place. WE also decide to look into liches, because the amulet of The Living Flame seems to act as some kind of falactory.
 
While researching Franz learns that he needs dirt from his homeland, Galvania, to be able to walk into people's homes without an invitation. Ashe finds a chronicle written by her long lost sister Dusterra Shadowthorn.
 
Joe meets with some students to help them use divination magic to see who can/can't be trusted.
 
while there they see a pink two headed horse named Flou Flou. Aria asked about this horse earlier. They just flew in and are just hanging out.
 
Joe brings Flou Flou back to the group. Franz recognizes this guy and tells him his friend James was looking for him.
 
Flou Flou doesn't know where they are from, but they learned to talk when they were in the fey wild.
 
They know where there might be a forest where there is an entrance to the feywild. They mark it on our map. Joe finds a book about strange creatures that were mismatched like chimera. Joe thinks that maybe a wizard did this to Flou Flou.
 
Elias asks the students about a possible entrance to the underdark. We learn there is an entrance in the sewers. Elias wants to see if he can get in touch with Bryza to see if she can find any word on the pyramid. Ashe also sends a message to Lyra about this.
 
Morpheus tells us that we could take the underdark all the way to New Galvania to bypass the water so Franz can travel. He tells us there is another pyramid under their home.
 
We find that if we were able to cast Mind Blank on Franz, this might be able to stop the Magnuses from controlling him. Perhaps we could find something or learn to create a magic item that would do this.
 
We also talk about contacting Titania about the shards and Zozth. We talk about going to the underdark to pursue our travels. WE find a ring of mind shielding for Franz. This may help with the Magnuses controlling him.
 
We learn The Living Flame is making demands. He's disappointed in Eldoria and everything from the mountain to here is his purview, and he's upset they haven't kept up with his horde, and he needs virgins to eat, but he'll let it slide for now. But starting next month they have to have one chained outside for him, and they need to start replenishing his horde.
 
WE find that a student had checked out the book on The Living Flame, and we know that Aurendille defeated him before.
 
We are trying to discuss a way to try and get in touch with Aurendilled when Flou Flou offers us an acorn. Oberon, Titania's husband gave it to them.
 
if we plant it in a doorway, it will open a one way portal to the feywild. We just have to make sure the room has 2 doors. Elias says we could use it to trick the dragon. Chain up a virgin in an arch way and when he goes through it, he would be stuck in the fey wild for at least a bit.
 
OR, if we put the acorn in the entry of his cave, we could trap him in a pocket dimension for about 2 months. WE decide to go tell Blackwood our plan. We travel through the tunnels to do this.
 
It's about 2pm the 26th of Azuthaire.
 
Franz eats some rats. We tell Blackwood about our plan. We decide to go see the Shadowthornes' here to see if they by chance have any dirt from Galvania for Franz. We are able to find a Blue Sage plant there that is planted in Galvanian dirt.
 
With this we may be able to take a boat to New Galvania instead. Morpheus is hesitant to take us, but will think about it.
 
We fly on Flou Flou straight to the dragon's cave. Franz and Elias become exhausted after this.
 
It is now 6pm on the 28th of Azuthaire.
 
We arrive at the cave.
 
We learn from Blackwood that he's likely not far behind us so we set up the cave to look like a welcoming party.
 
We try to rest. Some kobolds approach and we trick them into going into the cave and realize that we can see and hear them, but they can't leave. We send Fred in to give them some sleep cookies so they fall asleep.
 
Shortly after the dragon appears. our plan works. He goes in the cave, he realizes he can't leave and immediately gets really mad. Ashe uses mold stone to lock him in a bit. He swears he will hunt each of us down when escapes and will destroy us.
 
Flou Flou is going to help us fly back before taking off again to find his friend James. We let Blackwood know we were successful. Ashe sends a note to Lyra about how they were able to stop the dragon without destroying an entire city.
 
As we finish our rest, Aurendille is flying down approaching us and this is where we end.
