Session 21: I think we have to kill my Aunt.

by Asharene Shadowthorn

We meet a small goblin wizard named Bak. We make it back to Hammerfell.
 
Blackwood has heard wind that Angst is up north in Ithilhithnal.
 
Elias's mom wants to travel with us, because she wants to spend more time with him. Elias is worried that our travels are too dangerous. We decide to take her back to Leruemar because it's next door to Ithilhithnal.
 
Lucien hands all of us a potion. Ashe's Aunt Grenita. She loves making potions, but they don't always turn out great. Some of us drink the potions, and we turn small. Some of us choose not to drink the potion. The small ones get in a basket. some of the others harness themselves to the dragon. Remish uses his rope trick to drag along a few. We head out with Mia and Lucian on Dinklewing.
 
We arrive to Ashe's ginormous house. There we are approached by a Shadar Kai. Her name is QuillEndria (Quill for short) She's been sent here by the Raven Queen to go after Angst so she can help him kill Isolde. Franz reveals that we've let her go into the feywild and will only kill her if she breaks her word. The RavenQueen isn't going to be happy about this.
 
WE go in and meet some of the family. Ashe's pop pop's proteje, Majesto, a tiefling is drunk and bitter. Ashe's family is pretty esentric and literally wild and strange.
 
Elias runs into an old friend named Timothy, who disappeared a while ago. He's married to Clarelda. When we ask her how they met, she's gets weird and says they have to go.
 
Elias checks on him in thieves cant. he basically speaks in poems and he's totally not himself.
 
Ashe takes her friends to her room in the tower. Joe mentions that the duregar in Hammerfall were wearing Selune holy symbols, and Timothy is acting weird. Maybe there is some kind of infiltration? To gain power over the Lupel garden.
 
Andromeda and Quil offer to turn invisible and spy on people for us. At that moment we get summoned to the reading of the will.
 
Durge, the stone construct, the family lawyer shows up and creates a stone tablet. He reads off the will.
 
Pop Pop basically leaves a lot of shade behind for everyone and hopes they die. He leaves EVERYTHING to his favorite, Ashe, along with his secret chest.
 
Everyone accept the single Lighthorne in the room is pissed. Timothy comes out of whatever trance he was in and seems lost and panicked. Clarelda has been using a potion on him. Ashe knocks it out of her hand as she now recognizes what is going on.
 
Timothy calls Clarelda a crazy abductor. Ashe tries to kick everyone out and it just becomes loud chaos. Quill casts Silence to shut everyone up. IN the chaos, Elias gets Timothy out and learns that Clarelda got him drunk and wanted to use his money because her family wouldn't give him any. She made him tea and now he remembers nothing since then.
 
Elias tells Timothy that he's been gone a year. Apparently there is a 100,000gp bounty for him. I guess he's laundered a lot of money from criminals, and they lost their money and they are really pissed.
 
Elias tells Timothy to stay put and goes back to the chaos.
 
Quill lets down the silence and Ashe gets everyone's attention. She asks where her parents are and finds everyone acting suspicious. Macobra comes up with a story about her parents going to the north to hunt bison.
 
Joe talks to the plants and learns that Macobra already got to the chest. Ash opens the chest and there is a note from her pop pop
 
This chest is a fake. The one who stole it has a tale to tell. The real treasurer's location is in Gobi's pocket watch. -Taiberius.
 
Ashe describes this pocketwatch to Quill, and she is able to locate object with magic and we find it in one of the studies.
 
It leads us to a potted berry tree plant. They are in magical trance. Apparently Macobra burried them here. They are paralyzed. Joe uses Lesser REstoration to restore them.
 
We then hear caaacaawwwinng from the outside. It seems all the animals have come alive in the other room. we learn that The ashe tree outside is where we need to go for the treasure.
 
We see Timothy running outside the window, and we escape and just leave the inside of the house in pure chaos.
 
Bak decides to go try and save Majesto, because that's now his protégé. We learn from the plants that he left.
 
As we approach the Ashe tree Olivium is there looking for it.
 
JOe talks to the plant and learns the tree has the treasure and will only release it for Ashe. Ashe gets the treasure. But Olivium says she is going to destroy the cure if Ashe doesn't hand over the treasure. Ashe promptly gives it to her, but that that very moment, Bak had shrank himself and stabbed her in the hand causing her to drop the vial.
 
Joe is able to catch it and Joe grabs the treasure back. Ashe learns that Olivium and Odie are actually her siblings. Olivium is her twin sister. Macobra.
 
Ashe tries to accept Olivium as her sister, but Olivium isn't having it. Ashe tells her aunt to leave and never come back or she will kill her. Also Macobra didn't bring the animals to life.
 
Ashe opens the chest and finds a lot of really cool shit from her pop pop.
 
Bak stole a letter from Olivium written in druidic. It's a recipe for Ginger Bread cookies.
 
We decide to just leave the animals in the house for now and go give Elysia the cure and make this ginger bread recipe.
 
WE approach and the druids are chanting in a circle and Elysia is in the middle. Bak, in his tiny form goes into the middle and climbs up into Elysia's hair. He ends up getting all the power they were trying to give to Elysia.
 
Bak and Joe bake some cookies.
 
Ashe gives Elysica the cure and the recipe. She also catches her up on the family drama.
 
Elias invites Timothy to travel along with us until we can figure out a safe place.
 
We go back to the house to see if we can figure out the animal crisis. WE figure out that it was likely the LIghthornes that were behind the whole creature debacle.
 
We learn that the gingerbread cookies are sleep cookies and will make you sleep for 24 hours. Maybe that's how Macobra put Ash's parents to sleep. Ashe now knows how to make all kinds of poisons and modify the gingerbread cookie recipe as needed.
 
We end here. We will take care of the animals in the house and then take the bone dragon to Laruelamore to drop of Elias's mom and then to Eldoria.
