Session 140 - September 28, 2023 Report

General Summary

Feywild Day 34 - Travel Day 16

• The party is hurt, so they take a short rest, with Merry playing a song of rest, and allowing the group to get back some health. Beartrum asked to walk alone and not have Merry ride him, which she agreed to, and Merry was offered a place in the sleigh, and Rolen walked.
• When the party stopped for the right, Olly is resummoned as a dragon, who is very happy to be back and in dragon form. She is very happy to have her jewlery back as well.
• After the battle with the statue/creature who Roth rolled high and thinks possibly Fiend or Devil, the party takes watches for the evening during the long rest in the mansion.
• Watches, Alethra, Roth (sees a bat?), Olly/Branwen, and Merry

Feywild Day 35 - Travel Day 17

• Olly, during her watch, made a very nice elk snow creature, which amused Roth.
• Nothing happens on the road. The amount of light in the sky is increasing, and Aurora thinks the party will arrive at the boarder in a day or so.

Feywild Day 36 - Travel Day 18

• During travel, Roth spots what he believes are scouts from the Winter Court's outpost at the boarder crossing, and sends an invisible Olly to greet them, with Roth speakng through Olly, and confuses both of them.
• The two scounts join the party and after a few hours, they arrive at the Gate House, the last stop before the road crosses to the area of Fall Feywilde.
• They are greeted by Cpt Valence, and offered some time to refresh and rest before making the crossing the next morning. The sleigh and horses are stored, with the party being welcomed, if a bit hesitantly, as the guards at the boarder were expecting replacements, not non-court members.
• Looking at the boarder, there is a deep ravine which is crossed by a narrow stone bridge, and at the base of this ravine is a swift flowing river, which holds a few leaves and large pieces of ice.
• There does not seem to be any barrier, but the light is much brighter near the bridge, but it is difficult to see across, as there is some kind of haze or barrier preventing a clear view.
• The report of creatures on the road, including the odd statue creature, is given to the head guard, and elk steaks are offered for a fine meal to cap off the journey.
• Olly asks if Oakly can walk around in the fall so that the tree can see more of the Fall Fey
• The party is offered rooms in the nicer houseing next to the gate, but they use the mini-mansion for long rest, and there are no watches kept.

Feywild Day 37 - Travel Day 19 Winter to Fall

• The group sets out the next day on foot to cross over the bridge, which they do after Cpt Valence opens up the gate arm, allowing them to pass.
• Once one the bridge, the Cpt on the other side, a Cpt Sebastian, opens the gate, and the party gets the first good look at Fall Feywilde. The weather is a crisp mid-60s and the sky a riot of oranges and pinks, an enteral colorful sunset. The trees are reds, yellows, and oragnes, with a light covering of leaves on the ground.
• The gate house on this side gets a larger wagon and 4 quarter horses ready so that the journy can continue. The wagon has space for either 4 people or 2 people and an owl bear. The Cpt warns there were some reports of phase spiders, but nothing concrete. The decision is that Merry will ride with Rolen and Aurora, which Roth and Alethra ride brooms, and Beartrum walks.
• Along the way, the path is wide, well maintained and made of dirt and cobblestones, with the leaves covering in a few places.
• As the party travels along, Roth hears something in the underbrush, and 3 large apes are seen heading out of the tress. Roth takes a shot, Alethra cast Fog Cloud, and Merry Bigby's Hand, which helps as one ape is killed and the other two try to flee but are taken out as they try to run away.
• There is nothing terribly special about the apes, so the bodies are moved to the side of the trail and left, and not burned in the undergrowth the many dried leaves.
• Some healing is given, and the party continues on the way. After done traveling, tent, mansion and long rest.

Feywild Day 38 - Travel Day 20 - Fall 2

• Mid way through the day, Roth hears something, flies up and sees 3 trolls. Merry sings a little song she knows about trolls, remembering they need to be killed with fire or acid or they will not die, and that they speak Giant, but are large and dumb. The trolls hear Merry trolling with her troll song and charge attack the party.
• The trolls knock into Roth, the cart and Alethra, knocking her off her broom and a large crack sounds from the cart. Olly casts Darkness and uses it to hide Roth, while Merry uses Bigby's Hand and firebolt to attack, with Alethra punching with fire fists and fire bolt. After taking quite a few hits, the first troll is 0 hp and up but goes down. Merry gets 2 natural 20's to kill one of the remaining trolls, with Roth using his acid bow to take down the last one.
• It was quite a battle as the party takes a moment to catch their breath after the fight.
