Session 132 - April 13th 2023 Report

General Summary

Feywilde - Day 6

• The party then recaps their plans, and goes through the storm to set up the mansion before setting out to create chaos.
• The party then moves through the storm wall and it goes very well for Alethra and Merry, Olly rides under Alethra's scarf. Beartrum takes two tries, and Roth just teleports the 15 ft through. After a super high roll, Roth finds a great place for the mansion and sets it up. There is a short rest and everyone rests and has a snack while waiting for the night to progress.
• Olly is set up through the fog/mist to check on the moon, and after about 2 hours, the moon is done and the party makes plans to move towards the city. Roth casts the telepathic bond and the move to the edge of the tree line near the gate to the city.
• Alethra, Merry, and Beartrum prep outside the main gate, seeing 4 guards on the gate, and upon hearing something, 2 do a patrol around the edge of the wall to confirm all is well.
• Roth then flies over the wall with Olly, making sure to be invisible and stay 90 ft away from any giants, just in case. When hidden near the circle, Roth uses a wand of detect magic to see the circle light up with Evocation, Conjuration and Transmutation magic. Since there do not appear to be any wards to magic traps, Roth thinks it is safe to approach the circle.
• There are two guards on duty, but they are mainly not paying attention and halfway looking at the central area. Olly is on overwatch duty and has the ring of lightening ready to go. After Roth gets the 4th gem/sapphire, he hears a noise nearby and a giant complaining (Althera translates into "They better not be playing cards with the shiney's"). Roth then realizes the game is up, and quickly gets as many gems as he can, getting 10 in total. Olly is also told to get gems, but only gets 1, with a very poor roll.
• As shaman/main magic user comes out of one of the huts and sees the gems missing, she starts shouting at the guards, who were not paying attention and Olly casts call lightening, throwing the 1st bolt at the giant with the white slightly glowing eyes.
• Roth goes away, with him reaching the rest of the party, and starting to head back, while still reviewing the chaos of many lightening bolts going towards the circle from a flying and invisible Olly.
• Olly gets in about 3 mins of strikes of lightening, (30 ish) before the giants start throwing random spears in the air, and Olly gets pulled back to Roth and the group goes back into the mansion with 11 sapphires. Roth gives 1 gem each to Alethra, Merry and Olly, keeping 8 for himself.
• Alethra is then wondering if the group needs to move now before the giants are too busy and confused, or if sleeping and waiting is better. The decision is to take the long rest in the mansion and then try to contact Cpt Brody in the morning, then move outside the storm wall.
• Roth examines the sapphire that he has, and learns it seems identical to the ones in the palace with the illusion magic for the windows, and they seem to be manufactured, not grown.
• Long Rest.

Feywilde - Day 7

• Breakfast in the mansion and a scry to Cpt Brody after Olly does a fly over. Olly see the circle is in ruins, and a few are trying to get it back in shape, but it will be a few days, of the 3 sapphires that were left, now 6 are in the circle. It seems there were a few spares.
• Message to Brody and he is about 2 days out, with a large group, and would like to be contacted tomorrow when they are closer so that the two groups can meet up. Brody is relived that the circle seems to be unusable for a few more days.
• The party leaves the mansion and heads to move outside the storm wall. On the way out, a group of patrolling giants hear something, and start moving towards the party. Merry makes then all invisible, and Roth does as well, with 2 on brooms, and Alethra's boot leaving bear foot prints while Beartrum is a bear. After moving very quickly, the party hears a giant say, "Look, Bear Tracks!" and begins to argue if a bear would or could easily get through the storm wall.
• The party goes through quickly, with everyone being able to get through, except Roth, who uses the teleport ability. The party then spends the day trying to retrace their steps to meet up with Cpt Brody and his band of traveling aid.
• Party finds a good space and preps the mansion. Roth then uses Identify on the gem that he has, and it is shown to be a Crystal of Summoning, which enhances the summoning magics and circles. Roth also notices the ruins inside the crystal seem to be Celestial in nature. Alethra falls asleep on the rug with Beartrum while Merry and Roth talk about some magical options with the crystals.
• Takes a long rest.

Feywilde - Day 8

• When waking, the weather is very clear and calm, so they party tries to meet up with Cpt Brody, who they assume will not be that far away. Olly flies up but cannot see him.
• There is a conversation that does not go well as the snow and landmarks are not familiar to the party. Olly then flies around, in full view with the Quickling also flying around looking. The two groups meet up and begin to plan.
• Roth offers to have Olly take the crystal back to the fey castle with the Quickling, who is a very fast flier. The party then goes with the 16 winter fey up the hill, where they camp out just outside of the storm.
• While making camp, the group discusses strategy. The group is happy to finally get a rest, and there is some concern on what will be well received by the giants that will not start a fight right away. After a rough plan is set, Roth shares some of the dried meats from the bag of holding, as offers some good berries from the wand. Roth then pops a bubble of darkness and casts the mansion.
• Before Roth goes into the mansion, he checks in on Olly and she is at the palace with Shadowspell (who has red-ish eyes), and has been offered food and a cushion to sleep on. Roth tells Olly only to take the food if freely given, and then asks Olly if she is tired, which causes her to have a very small identity crisis. Olly is not pleased.
• Roth tells Olly to think about it, he is going to rest for 4 hours and then check in on Olly.
