Session 126 - January 19th, 2022 Report
General Summary
1306 - 1st Moon of Spring - Korlar (30th Day)
- Barony Sowing festival, Merry gives Sybil a bonus for all her hard work and Sybil is delighted with the 5 gold, Beartrum offers rides to some children, Fenton and Alethra create water and fire creatures and use them to create tiny fights with lots of steam. Merry offers to make Alethra more tiny creatures, but Alethra declines.
- Fenton was able to meet the grandmothers, who were all very happy to meet him and learn he was going to set up a house in the forest nearby.
- Olly wanted to play a version of the greased pig contest, so Merry creates a few tiny rock creatures, covers them in Olly and lets Olly chase them. As Olly is invisible, she is finally able to capture one after 10 min. Olly is very proud of herself.
- On the 1st Ari and Teresa meet up with the wizard who will teleport them to Fort Wainwright, where the circle is being created. The wizard is Edith Zedall, who will teach Ari 30 days of remedial classes on teleport and magical etiquette.
- The rest of the party then goes out to purchase a set of very cold weather gear x3 for 10 gold a person, and a hat and scarf for Beartrum. Roth and Alethra head over to Korfels and see what kind of cold weather protection can be acquired through magical means. Korfel has two rings of warmth (250 gold), and 4 warming stones that are 25 gold each, and are good for 3 months once activated.
- Merry begins a week plus sewing project by getting thread at the local store, and spending a long time discussing the project with the owner of the shop, who gives her a small plate of cookies. Upon the return home, Roth sends Olly to stealth and steal 2 cookies from Merry's plate. Olly succeeds and now loves chocolate.
- Alethra starts making small sachets of tea in preparation for the Feywilde so she too has a small gift she can give. She makes 45 up with a trip to the herbalists store. She has several varieties.
- Roth sends out messages with runners to try and find a person at the university who has been studying the Feywilde and can help with some practical information. Messages are sent to Marisha (no ideas, but would love to hear about it when they return), Magmabrew (not sure, but samples of plants would be nice), Julia (wizard Pierre Quincy to speak with), and invites Arannis for tea, who will stop by the 10th.
- Fenton arrives on the 4th for dinner, excited to share the process on the small home he is setting up in the forests outside the the main barony house, about 10 min walk. Alethra has been preparing letters for Li, Lightforge, and Fenton, to be sent out the longer the party is away, so Alethra gives on letter and 400 gold to Fenton, and he has the instructions he will carry out and look into some investments.
- On the 6th Alethra and Roth so to see Pierre Quincy, a wizard whose hobby is researching the Fall area of the Feywilde. During the meeting, they learn Pierre is a transmutation wizard, who has a list of Fey Gates in the dukedom and gets permission from Roth to visit his, which Pierre was not aware of as active (Roth says full moon only, he thinks). Pierre says each season there is a slight variation in the creatures on live there, white pixies in winter vs brown/orange in fall. He also says in the Feywilde the lighting does not change, there is no day/night cycle. Alethra has questions of telling time, hour glasses, etc. Politeness is important, as well as hospitality, and all food and drink should be offered freely. Alethra wonders if there is a spell to make food in case of issues, and they will go see Tristian after this meeting.
- Pierre asked if they returned, they could share any notes or pictures on any flora or fauna they found and Roth offered to bring some items back if they could.
- Altethra and Roth go to see Tristian, and they all 3 make a plan to craft a wand which can cast the spell Goodberry (10 green ones), once a day. After several rolls, and many hours after work with the help of Tristian, by the 12th, the 3 finish the wand (Roth gave 250 for material components). As a thank you, Roth gives Tristian enough for a good massage and Alethra gives Tristian a few packs of tea.
- Merry spent two weeks working on the project with the med-weight wool, in blue-green, and on the 12th, was finished and used all 6 of her large wooden buttons.
- On the 10th Arannis came to tea and they had a nice catch up, with Arannis promising to send over some investments ideas in the next few days, and he would like to be back on the 14th to meet the new druid, Fenton, who is also Alethra's father.
- Ari spends the 1st two weeks in 8 hours a day study sessions under the eye of both the wizard teacher and Teresa, her watcher. She is able to mainly get into the good graces of everyone at the fort, but they still seem a little wary of her, but it is lessening on a daily basis.
- Teresa seems to have a small romance going with one of the guards, Harry, but as the guards rotate out frequently, Ari warns Teresa to not get too attached.
- On the 14th, Arannis shows up with a weekend bag, happy to head out for a few days to meet Fenton and spend some time in nature. As the party is packing up, Merry opens her box, calls to Oakly, who gets up out of the ground, greets everyone, and shocks poor Judith, who wanted the party to take some pies to Sybil.
- Olly is delighted that her new tree friend can walk and talk, and give it a big hug, and starts chatting at it, in Sylvan, and Oakly only speaks Common. Merry gets Olly out of the box, and then closes it down.
- Party goes through the trees, Arannis meets Fenton, and everyone gets to see the new home that Fenton is making in the woods. It is looking very cozy already.
