Session Five:

by Asharene Shadowthorn

We start in the fey wild with Valora the fairy looking for the color red. Joe suggests looking behind the color green. Maybe it's hiding behind green. We learn that green's proper name is Verdant. WE don't really know how to find the color red, and Valora isn't the most helpful with helping us, BUT if we do find it she will give us a favor.
 
We decide to try and find Nap, the satyr from before, and poof, there he is on a stump writing in a book. He helps us by telling us to think what we would do if we were lost. How would we like to be found. While we are contemplating this, we find Verdant by creating a breeze onto some green things. Verdant tells us that they saw red leave when they were talking to them about how much they love the sun shining on them and how the wind feels.
 
Verdent says Red left to go talk to Azure during this conversation. Verdent starts to lead the way through a breeze of wind. Nap introduces us to their dragon friend named Benedict. We learn all scorpions got their tales from Benedict. He gave it to them. Before that, scorpions were just spiders.
 
We get to a pond where Azure is. Joe jumps in to swim, which excited Azure, and they talk to us. We ask about Red and they say they talked to red about how much they love to swim. When Azure was speaking to red, they promptly left and went to talk to Sunny. (Yellow)
 
We think maybe a field of sunflowers is where we may find Sunny, and sunny loves to bask in the sun. We get to the sunflower field and see a bunch of monarch butterflies fly away. We follow them to a pond where we see the sky is slightly purple and there is a red frog.
 
Elias and Joe try to capture the frog but fail terribly. Ash tries to intercept as a butterfly, gets eaten by accident and converts back into her normal form exploding the frog.
 
Angst talks really nicely to red and explains that red is one of the most important colors. It's the color of love, anger, lust, compassioin, happiness. Red loves the compliments and starts to fill the forest and area with red back.
 
Valara appears, and she is very happy that we brought balance back to the colors. She grants us all a gift of the twilight. She pulls down wisps of twilight and stars from the skies and creates a long feather boa out of it. The feathers are made of a transparent glow of blues and purples, scattered with flecks of glowing yellow lights.
 
It will guide us through the navigating path of our future endevours. She starts to call out to all the colors of the realm, and they join the feather boa. Valara then throws the boa up into the sky. In it's place 6 irridescent butterflies emerge, and gently land on our shoulders. One of each color.
 
She then slowly starts to float away. As we investigate the butterflies, we learn it gives us a lot of understanding about how things work here. Ashe says she thinks she understands and then wonders off into a random direction to find the way out. She's just following her gut. They end up in a place with hills and hobbit hold doors.
 
As we go about our way, Nap follows all the way drawing pictures of us as we move along. Everything around us is more twilight centric.
 
Angst opens a random door and shouts "Hello" Nobody seems to be home. Elias follows after Angst, because Angst seems to not know how to properly break into a place and wants to correct him.
 
Elias steals some nice silverware. Angst finds a library. He finds a book about aboloths. Elias finds an open book that has a recipe in it. It's a recipe for mushroom steak. Seems to just be a cookbook.
 
I guess we all go outside or were outside or something, anyway a halfling on a toadstool pops up. They tell us that the folks of their village have disappeared. We learn everyone slowly but surely wondered off to talk to the women of the verde river. Apparently they are hags. This guys seems to know really know what is going on. He starts to throw up. Dermish figures out that he's hallucinating. Probably from the mushroom recipe from the book.
 
Angst approaches the guy to lay on hands the poison out of this guy and he starts to really scream that they are all dead, and then he runs off in the the forest.
 
Elias sees a smoke stack in the direction this guy is running in and we follow after. We get to a small hut. Elias sneaks around and see that inside are 3 hags arguing with each other. Nap is still recording all of this and drawing pictures. Joe asks if Nap can get us out of the Fey Wild. He says he can, because every year the veil thins for the festival. that's almost a year from now.
 
However, now is forever twilight, so we aren't sure how this will help.
 
Against Franz's warnings Angst goes into the hut. We follow after. They offer Angst tea. Franz then offers them some hello suggestion potion. The accept. Elias asks where they are keeping the halflings, and they say, "the mirror" They point and we see 7 different mirrors on the walls. We look into one mirror and see flying creatures with swords and spears flying down and attacking things. Dark arcane energy everywhere. It's a bloody battlefield with dark demonic forms.
 
Elias sees reflections of a grand court of fey swimming in a crystalline water pool. It's Titania. Beside her is an enagmatic figure cloaked in darkness. Some dwarves handing a black diamond to her sister.
 
In another mirror we see a fierce battle with the Queen of Air and Darkness. She's consumed by desperation. She has the black diamond and hurls it down. It lands into the ocean causing the water to split. It divides a large continent into two. The fabric of reality burst between the two continents. In the rift that has formed demons are everywhere.
 
In the 3rd mirror there is a pink cupcake with rainbow sprinkles. Joe asks the hugs what it is. They pluck a cupcake out and offer it to Joe. Joe takes it and puts it in her bag.
 
Ash asks if they can take the black diamond out of the 2nd mirror and they do and give it to her.
 
IN the 4th mirror, there are 2 demons kissing each others.
 
Dermish casts detect magic and we learn that most of this is some kind of illusion. The cupcake is an illusion and transformation magic.
 
Dermish does find a mirror with halflings in it. It's got a whole village and it doesn't look like an illusion. Elias touches this mirror and it starts to try and pull him in. One of the hags pull him back and don't allow it without him making a deal.
 
In the 4th mirror Angst sees QM looking for us in the forest.
 
in the 5th mirror we see Magdelina crying the corner.
 
One of the hags says if we wish to use any of the mirrors we have to make a deal.
 
their names are Sin Omen, Nata Meg, Ginny Ger
 
while Elias talks to the hags, she throws a note into the mirror with QM that says "We are stuck in the fey wild" in it and sees him pick it up She confirms with Franz by writing a secret note if an illusion would do that. She never really got an answer back, because Dermis just screamed "YES" and that wasn't clear.
 
The hags off Elias to go through the mirror if everytime he gives gold to someone, it turns to wood. He dclines
The hags offer Franz to go through if they whisper a truth in his ear. He declines However Ash offers to hear the secret, and they tell her that Morpheus is still Alive.
The deal they make Angst is the more someone loves him the less they remember him.
The deal they make to Joe is basically sensory over load if she uses certain spells.
They offer Dermish to go in if he is fated to die or maybe his friends will live or maybe his friends will die, or maybe he'll live forever
They offer Ash to go through if she gives up her ability to heal
 
They seem to taunt us about an Iguive and a Baba Yaga. Thinking we can go talk to them instead.
 
Elias offers his reflection if they allow us to go through the mirror.
Angst offers his ability of Thaumaturgy. they decline
 
Franz sends mage hand into the mirror and slaps QM in the face and tries to lure him away, but the hags put a stop to it.
 
We decide to try and leave and wait for them to sleep. However they just argue. While we converse outside, The hut changes it's looks and there is an old woman with a behive hairstyle cooking something up?
 
The door begins to open. the woman that opens it is dressed in leather. She motions for us to come in and walks away. We stand there a bit flabergasted and wonder what the hell to do. Ash tells Franz the secret about Morpheus.
