Journal #71: The Haunted Fey Mansion

by Aniks Aliforn

The last person I expected at my door was Jinne, it had been two weeks since I returned from the Boneyard. Purposely avoiding the other members of the Lost Ones, I had spent most of my time with my family. I had of course seen them out and about around Ironfalls. Jinne showing up one early morning was not what I had expected. I half expected Ashlyn or Kraia to have dragged Celu and I somewhere.
 
To summarize this long, long day with a Haunted Fey Mansion. The Lost Ones wanted to gain more power and weapons, so Liese offered a planar key to some demiplane. We met a father and his children, his wife. They had been cursed in different ways. The youngest was a ghost who thought she was still alive. The Middle while was a ghost as well but retained his mind, though it was clear both suffered from some missing memories. The oldest sibling, was mutated into some twisted fey creature from a broken deal we believe to the Eldest was involved. The wife was brought back to life, having been killed or died after meeting her family. They apparently didn’t like the marriage of the husband and wife. It’s implied that Ludrissiel was the one who tied the wife’s soul to a phoenix. Our new traveling companion Malina, was the one Saloc had mentioned Vonymos’s Champion, had enraged the combination by saying she was wrong. When we had learned that save for the father and the middle child, most of them had triggered that set them off. The Father was a vampire.
Malina meant well but she is young. She was overly attached to the youngest girl, promised she would come back.
 
Fey is both helpful and annoying, because of a small pixie or fairy. The Voice took advantage of that, and force us into a deal to reclaim a blade he once owned from within that mansion. Talinde had wandered that house alone and hadn’t done especially well. We found him in the study of the Father encased in Crystal. Burdyr claimed to meet the world’s Avatar but everything he described was like The Beauty. So the Beauty is Istralar. It seems that our time we were only able to save the oldest child, we had knocked him out during our fight with the Wild Hunt. Using champion powers to aid him bringing back to a human form.
 
We still don’t know everything that happened within the walls of that mansion, like how the mansion was split into three different pocket dimensions. Ashlyn found a friend from her thousand-year journey, named Percy.
 
Celuriel finally has gone to sleep, Ava seems to have calmed her nerves once we got home, with a fair amount of whiskey as well. See her sister’s writing in the Mansion had drilled fear into her very bones.
 
Ludrissiel will dies, this I swear.
 
I might not be ready to face an ancient lich now, but I will be. I have been gifted a small amount of my own divine power. This alone will not be her undoing, but it’s another step in this journey.
