It can't be a delusion if we all had the same one
General Summary
"My name is growing all the time, and I've lived very long long time; so my name is like a story." Treebeard, Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers
Missions/Quests Completed
- Vormund tells the group about his experience with the Raven Queen and how he became aligned with her again. He feels edgier and different, he's entered his villain era.
- It's agreed that we're going to Bira's Folly so Vormund can get his plant fix. Tremainn attempted to stay behind, to scope Kallum's warehouse in preparation for our upcoming stake out. We convinced him to accompany us to Bira's Folly because he doesn't need to work all the time. Tremainn reluctantly agreed but left some of Lelk's bug shells in Kallum's forge to see how they melt down.
- Outside Kallum's warehouse, Vormund and Tremainn noticed individuals in cloaks and masks, one of which was staring at us. Vormund waved and got no wave back (these cloaked individuals were not taught manners).
- A disheveled, boho-esque Dryjog met us outside (this was not planned, just unfortunate timing). He took us on a pointless excursion with the promise of leading us to Bira's Folly. Eventually we arrived.
- Bira's Folly is in a pocket dimension. Inside is a gorgeous landscape of plants & greenery. We saw a waterfall and canyon leading to caves below. Tremainn spotted an area where one can mine their own ore and a farm with plots of herbs.
- Lelk took bites of random plants while we wandered around before Sorrow & Tremainn noticed and told her to stop. Luckily she only got a stomach ache.
- Vormund wandered off on his own. He was unsure how to actually buy/collect plants until he saw an Elf with a basket that they put plants in. He briefly spoke with the Elf and her partner and found out the baskets are kept at 3 of the 4 entrances. Vormund got on the Transit System to get to an area with baskets.
- Lelk, Sorrow and Tremainn expertly scaled down the canyon on the vines hanging over the edge. Lelk wanted herbs to not poison us with and Sorry and Tremainn felt she needed and escort, William came along as well, just very quietly. Once we arrived, a large Ape was noticed in the corner. Lelk approached and said hello and we found out he is Casvius, one of 4 guardians for this pocket dimension. We asked if it was okay to collect some herbs, Casvius instructed us to ask Bira and then says that Bira is all around us and to ask her we must become one with nature. All of us sit (except William who does yoga) and meditate. While meditating, we feel the earth to become one with nature (it's groovy as fuck). In meditation we felt the heartbeat of nature in tune with our own and got the sense that the entire realm IS Bira.
- Meanwhile on the transit, Vormund got the sense that the tram is more than just a means of travel. It had a fleshy feel and after heavy petting heard a voice in his head asking if he needed something. The tram's name is Memeros and he is another one of the guardians of this realm. Vormund tried to speak to Bira, but got no response. Memeros explained that Bira is an idea and that "We exist because of her, she exists because of us". Vormund explained that his bag of holding paradise is much like this realm.
- Memeros knew that the rest of the group was with Casvius and went on to tell Vormund that there are 4 guardians of this realm. The other two are Ralthos and Salilius. Memeros said we need to watch out for Ralthos, he is a counter-balance in this realm and a hunter. Salilius only noted to be indescribable.
- As Vormund exits the tram/Memeros - he saw that Memeros is like a giant serpent (think Jörmungandr). It's then that Vormund realized that the water fall in Bira's Folly is the same as the one in his bag of holding. His bag of holding is a door to Bira's Folly.
- Vormund again tried to talk to Bira, this time about his bag of holding. He felt a presence and turned to find a large swan (Bira). The Swan looked at Vormund, saw his hand in his bag of holding and then changed into a wolf. The wolf huffed at Vormund and carried Vormund to a cave. He's pushed to a wall in the back of the cave that had a series of pictures. The pictures showed various images with one of them being a winged man sitting on a mountain top. Also shown was an object passed through the ages until it got to Vormund (the bag of holding).
- On the cave wall was also a depiction of the Fey city of Shylead where Lelk and Vormund have been before.
- A wolf gave Vormund a rock with 3 Slyvan symbols which spell the name FAN. Bira then turned in to a dove and carved 'origin' into the wall.
- Sarzeden appeared from under the ground in Bira's Folly.
- Lelk, Sorrow, Tremainn and William are grabbed by a Treant and brought to where Vormund and Sarzeden are. Sarzeden looked like he was about to attack so Sorrow spoke to him in Draconic to say don't attack, I know you in the future and we are friends. He stopped, looked straight at her and said "Find me".
- All of us woke up outside of Bira's Folly, which is a normal shop.
