CHAPTER 3: SESSION 2: THE FAULT IN OUR STARS

by Morganna

Wand use spells:
Enlarge/Reduce
 
Clive:

 
 
The morning after: Kaliel woke up on a table at the end. Ball of fluff over her. Had been a drinking party the previous night. Everyone appeared to be hungover.
When I wake up in the medical building, Zettara is not there. She had gone to breakfast and has been bombarded with cats. Aiden wakes up on the clouds – see above. Grass all over it.
Emil wakes up in a carriage with large woman with face paint. This is another tribe.
Maia wakes up in a pile of kittens.
 
Kaliel at the end is given milk by the innkeeper. Hot outside.
He heard Zettara laughing. She claimed to be fine. They head to breakfast guided by the kittens. Maia found them with the kittens’ assistance.
Kaliel and Zettara will bring me breakfast.
Aiden was dared to grab on to one of the tendrils from the creature and the creature lifted him up.
Emil reacted with an Amazon tribe and hasn’t been seen since. Crystal also hasn’t been seen since she went out to puke.
 
Aiden is being examined by the creature (see above). He skin is like rock and his tendrils are like vines. Creature flies over a temple and monks (chimps and gorillas) wave at them. Creature is hungry so they go to its grazing spot with its herd. This one is a baby. They look floating islands. Aiden casts “Speak with Animals.” Aiden: “Where am I?” Creature answered.
Creature: “What are you?” We are the flying sky creatures. Aiden named it Clive. He tried to catch and eat birds. Aiden sprinkled rations on his back and the rest of the herd comes over. Rations are bait for the birds. They attract the birds and the creatures get the birds.
They head for the waterfall.
 
Emil is lifted up by his shirt by the chief. They head into the jungle to the tribe area. He still has his mask on (from here/when?). They feed him. She has a language guide (book) in her bra.
She is Rising Skull Fist (or Sarah.)
“You are not from here. We will keep you.” You offered yourself in exchange for our recipes.
They will keep him as a pet. They want his mask for her collection in exchange for letting him go. Another amazon grabs him by his shirt and take him to a trampoline and launches him into the sky and he lands in the cat village and is caught by Kaliel after Emil cast feather fall.
 
Zettara screamed after seeing his junk (he is clearly male), comes to find me, tells me that the group is assembled and then walks away. She is happy to see a real woman. She needs to take a walk.
 
I go out to join the others while Zettara walks off with a blanket over her head.
 
They lost Crystal!
 
Aiden – The creatures are gathered around a watering hole with a bunch of other creatures. Aiden climbed down. He scared some kind of platypus (anteater). He calls for Clive. Clive knows Lynn and she gives him birds. Clive takes off with Aiden to find Lynn – the best meat sack he has ever met. Clive invites Lynn to come inside his shell – his house. Books in house – 101 ways to knock over a knoll etc. Self- help books. Get books that come down the great garbage chute. Plastic scarf (was from cans).
 
I ask a feline who is awake if they have seen Crystal – She went to try to take the trials of the 10 wonders. She said I can break that the record in 5 days’ time. She joined the tribe. Crystal left hours ago. We can’t interrupt the trail – put in place by beings higher greater than them. She will be on top of Mount Silver tooth in a couple of days.
 
Mount Silver tooth is 20,000 miles east of here. We could go with the chief. He points us to the chief’s hut.
 
Aiden: Flies to a cave and calls to Lynn. She avoids a trap due to dex save. She finds Lynn! Totally covered in tattoos. Lynn doesn’t want to leave. She has things she needs to finish so Aiden follows her. She has a pet porkoweasel. (Weasel coated with quills). She is studying a magical channel – that is what she has been doing. Aiden tells her her mother and sister are looking for her. She says she is not leaving but she will come back with her. They will take Honey back instead of Clive. Honey is a ladybug since before me. She is now ginormous. Clive is sad that he is being left behind, he wants to come so he can come. Lynn’s armor is wood and stone and bits of stone. Clive follows but is jealous. Aiden agrees to catch him some birds.
They arrive back to us. Lynn taller and apparently was afraid of lady bugs (before me). Maia explained why we needed her. We need them to defend Arroneth. She thinks her research is more important. I tell her to come with us and tell her mother herself why she won’t join us. She said that while the magic channel is open, weird creatures will continue to leak out. She agrees to come with us if we help her to close the channel. The magic channel is where our spell casting comes from. She tells Kaliel to ride with her. The rest of us will ride with Clive. She says that Crystal can take care of herself. We won’t bother the chief. We will meet Crystal at the mountain. Lynn is now in her 20’s.
Zettara comes running and jumps up on Clive. She didn’t know she was chasing after a dude.
Zettara is gay. Clive can change his genitalia at a whim.
Maia also likes girls. – gay. It depends. I’m the only one who is straight. Aiden won’t answer. Possibly straight or neutral.

Lynn wants to tell us the procedures for dealing with magic channels Kaliel stops her. She tells Aidan to get her papers back from Kaliel. Lynn gives up and goes back to sit on Honey.
 
The magic channel is the reason Honey is huge. We can look down and see Crystal doing her trial. She is battling a Beholder and doing fine. We see a bright light. Herds of animals are walking towards the light. It touches the ground but it floats. THIS IS THE MAGIC CHANNEL. Lynn says we can’t help. We all go down with her. As we touch the ground, we can feel the vibrations from all of the races walking on the ground. The amazons pass us buy (with Emil’s mask). The chief won’t give it back. Lynn grabs the mask out the chief’s bra and tosses it back.
Kaliel is lifted off the ground by a wooly mammoth because of her shiny armor and lifted on to her tusk. Zettara comes up because she has encountered a pack of armored corgis. They are a race. Zettara adopts them. She doesn’t recognize that they are a race. We start hiking up a ginormous hill. The closer we get to the magic channel the more those of us who have magic start to feel. All of all emotions come together at once, subside and come together at once, and then subside. It’s as if magic trying to creep into my body. Lynn tells me that I should probably stay where I am. It will get stronger from here. I shouldn’t pass out. She tells me to keep an eye out. ROLL INITIATIVE. I receive 5 hp for the next 8 hours (I’m squishy). I rolled a 21!
 
Lynn whipped her spear across the field. We see a set of wings and it starts coming our way. A black dragon. It barrel rolled at us. I made the dex save.
 
I cast Enlarge/reduce but the dragon made it. The magic surge table did nothing. Maia did damage. Dragon throws 4 purple balls into the air. Lynn starts to run so we also run along with the wooly mammoth. The balls were a signal calling for help and we see other dragons coming to help. Kaliel puts up a barrier behind us and the dragons burst through it. Lynn shouts DIVE and we all dive into the magic channel. One of the dragons is dragged into also. Lynn now looks sick, then Zettara, Emil and Morganna. We pass out completely. Kaliel attaches herself to Emil and me because we are squishes before she passes out. She gets a glimpse of the past the present and the future. When Emil wakes up, she feels little feet on her because she wakes up on the shore and there are otters. The otters drank all of the fresh water in the water skin. It is a small island. There is a pit ball trap. It is night. Aiden is with her but Bear is not. He is with the princess and the dragon but he doesn’t know where he is and the princess is not okay.
 
Kaliel and Morganna and Lynn fall from the sky into a temple. Kaliel takes the fall and her armor cracks. There are giant pillars of dragon people. Kaliel and I We hear chains being pulled to our left. Lynn is unresponsive. I elixirs of health potions but she can’t drink. I roll stealth and sneak around to see what I can see (17) in the corridor. I see: a young man chained to two pillars by his wrists. His legs are changed behind him. He has fangs poke out from the tops and bottom of his lips. When his fangs come out, I can see a bright purple ginormous lion made out of space itself and the stars appear for a second and quickly fade away. Every time he gets mad and goes to yell the lion appears again.
 
At that same instance Maia, and Emil sees the same thing and whoever is in the pit ball trap pit gets angry. This causes a ginormous bull to in the sky for a second – the person can’t hold it.
 
At this point Aiden wakes up soaked and has a thin piece of wood sticking out of his shoulder and he is with the amazon woman who is pissed. He sees something amazing. For the first time in a long time, Aiden feels completely at piece. Swimming in front of him is a group of koi fish and sitting in the grass is a monkey man who tells him has he has been waiting for him.
They are in a cave.
 
Aiden is seeing the beginning of his character arc.
