Time to Deal With Shone ~ 25 May 2019

General Summary

Talked to Kelyries Mistid wh advised them that what happened with The Toymaker is now known to The Watch
Pheebee checked her parcel and found a finger which she took to be one of Gargoyle's
Went to Gargoyle's House where they conversed with Shone through a Tabby Cat & arranged for The party to bring the painting to Shone the next day and "all would be well".
Went to Breesha

Breesha recognised the painting as Fey
Advised the party to visit Auntie Alma who knows a lot about the fey
Pheebee paid Breesha 80gp and told her of a property (a bit of a fixer-upper) closer to the better side of town that might suit her

Party visited Auntie Alma

Met Emily - An orphan child
Alma told the PCs some interesting facts about Shone:

He was exiled from The Feywild
He's not really a Lord
Fey beings tend to have a weakness when outside the Feywild

Had them listen to a children's skipping game:

Scary Cat, Scary Cat What Have You Done? Scary Cat, Scary Cat He'll Take Your Tongue Wrap A yellow Maid Inside a yellow blade Scary Cat Scary Cat He Doesn't like that

Suggested that they speak to a herbalist about The Yellow Maid and gave them some pretty heavy hints that the blade should be GOLD.

Went to see herbalist/alchemist Keladim who told them that Golden Widow only grows on Troll crap and is greatly valued as part of a restorative potion. Told them that he had heard of problems with a troll near the Mining settlement of Copperhead

Characters hightailed it to Copperhead where they met with Kharig who confirmed the Troll problem. He provided Ustroth as guide to the troll lair

The PCs entered the troll lair and tried to sneak towards where they thought the Golden Widow might be growing - unfortunately the troll heard them and attacked

The party dispatched the troll in very short order.

They investigated the troll's latrine and discovered several spigs og Golden Widow - in doing so they disturbed a Black Pudding (poop monster) which they again dispatched in very short order.

They headed back to Copperhead & negotiated a reward

Went back to Luanda in Sator and had her cast a golden sword with the Golden Widow inside it.

While they were waiting for the Sword, the PCs went to The Yellow Blossom and borrowed some fancy yellow clothing from Belvure Nickelweaver

Went to Shone's house.

When they went inside they found themselves in a small hallway with double-doors at the end. After having a discussion with Shone's disembodied voice they opened the doors to see mists beyond which they walked through and entered Shone's Lair

Met another cat and had a discussion with Shone who again assured them that when he had the portrait again all would be well.

Pheebe got stuck in some hidden quicksand and was helped out by Fren
The PCs found a horn which Fren blew and summoned a giant elk which attacked them
They managed to leap across the quicksand and discovered a bridge with a large group of crows sitting on a rock - Fren fired a firebolt at them which disturbed them and made the crows stare at them.
