Session 49: Wolves, Owlbears and Rocs OH MY!

by Asharene Shadowthorn

We end up not fighting the hags. The give Hydr a flower which ends up exploding and putting us all into a shared dream state? We try to break out of the dreams. We all have terrible nightmares at some point. Ash falls asleep in the dream as she's trying to hear outside the dream. Portals start opening up and we can see each others dreams. Panfyr walked through a portal because she saw her old master and she immediately felt the need to get back to work, so she enters that portal and Franz tries to stop her.
 
Joe sees her family angry with her and their family pet bear is dead.
 
Ashe is sleeping having breakfast with her mom who is also serving Elias's head on a platter to her
 
Franz and Panfyr are dealing with drow. Ash goes into Panfyr's dream and blows everyone up. This actually nearly kills Panfyr, but does not damage anyone else.
 
It seems that if you die in your dream, you actually die.
 
There is a fake morpheus here who tells us that in order for us to wake up, Panfyr has to pick someone to die. She is handed an ostrich egg to give to her choice.
 
Actually, now the egg can get passed around and it has 10 charges and at a random charge it will kill who ever it is handed to. We are passing the thing around. Joe is able to wake up by a miracle. She wakes up Ash and Ash promptly confiscates the bag of sleep flowers and runs away with it. Joe talks peace with the hags and explains this is a misunderstanding.
 
The hags tell us we can't trust half the people in the twin village, whatever that means.
 
We finish our long rest
 
It is Ravenqueensea, 7am
 
On our way we hear howls in the distance and Ash is able to determine that these wolves are aware of us and tracking us, but they don't necessarily seem hostile?
 
Ash uses speak with animals to announce to them we know they are there. We learn the wolves here are starving. An owl bear is in the area that is affecting the food chain here.
 
We offer to help them kill the owlbear in exchange for allyship and an escort to the next village. They agree.
 
We make very easy work of the owlbear. As we kill it, a large flying creature is above us which scares the wolves. We all hide out in the owlbear cave. We find an egg in there too. Panfyr accidentally cracks it while examining it.
 
We then hear a thud behind us, and we see Tremon on the ground. We think he's been dropped. Elias breaks his neck while trying to pull him into the cave, but it gets blamed on the fall.
 
Light is carrying Syvor on his back. They make it to the cave. Panfyr is able to see through Mayhem's eyes that there is a giant bird out there, and Morpheus is here like 200-300 ft away.
 
Joe and Ash use revivify on Tremon, but he is now paralyzed and his neck is broken. Oh NO!! His grandson Sifor has been bitten by Morpheus.
 
Elias coaxes the bird down and we do get some hits, but it ends up flying away.
 
Panfyr speaks with the wolves and asks about Greg and Reginald. They tell us a man wolf came down from the mountain once. she was a wolf made of wood, but they do not align with any werewolves around here.
 
The wolves lead us to the town the next village, Nastase. We learn the Magnuses fly down as bats every once in a while. The humans hunt/gather here and women and children aren't allowed to leave, because it's not safe.
 
It's Ravenqueensea, 30 2pm
 
We get to the inn, and ask for a doctor. We notice there are pictures of the Magnuses everywhere, making us think they are loyal. Panfyr asks around to try and see how folks actually feel, and she feels that at least one of the patrons are saying what they think they MUST say.
 
We walk by some folks that were getting ready to cook up an alligator, but they are approached by guards saying they need to put the alligator back, because it belongs to the Magnuses. This group is ready to fight for this alligator. This group may or may not be from this town? They are dressed a bit nicer. Panfyr decides to follow this group of people to see what they are about. She follows them to a bayou area and makes note of their location.
 
We meet back at the physician. Essentially we need a miracle for Tremon. We trade the doctor a bottle of blue pills and $2500gp. to get someone to heal Tremon.
 
We don't have the diamond components. The priest guys says there is a rich guy named Elrich Dumas who has a diamond, and the priest wants us to rob him. He doesn't like Elrich because he Pretends to like the Magnuses. Also, he might be taking everything from this town, leaving them all completely poor.
 
There is someone named Eloi that can help us. They are with the alligator people and don't like the Magnuses. We decide to go talk to this Eloi person.
 
We get to the bayou place. We learn that these guys are from Beauma. We learn that Eloi is here looking for Morpheus. Eloi claims to be Morpheus's brother.
 
Franz tells him we are here to help Morpheus and we think he may be being controlled by the Magnuses.
 
We tell Eloi we can help him find Morpheus is he helps us retrieve a diamond from Elrich's house. Turns out that Morpheus and Eloi have these wrist bands that are linked, and they had a deal that if one of them ever took it off, then the other would need to do what they need to do with the other person....whatever that means. I guess when Morpheus disappeared into the Abyss, his bracelet was destroyed and Eloi has been looking for him since.
 
We discuss whether or not we want to rob Elrich's house, because it's going to cause a terrible consequence to the people of this village. We could burn it all down when we're done, OR we can just take the diamond we need, and use our own gold and pass it off as Elrich's gold to the priest.
 
We can't agree, so we eat some alligator and talk to Eloi.
 
So I guess we are going to rob the place and burn it all down.
 
Actually, we discuss just taking the diamond we need, burn the house down without taking anything else, and blame the fire on one of the guards? Elias says he could forge some kind of document supporting whatever narrative we want to push.
 
This is where we end.
 
It's Ravenqueensea, 30 4pm
