Session 142 - October 26, 2023 Report

General Summary

Feywild Day 41 - Travel Day 23 - Fall 5

• Roth uses Identify on the amulet and gets a feeling there is something off with it. As Roth is unsure, he uses the small divination coin he got very early one, and confirms what he fears, the piece is cursed. There is also discussion on how to make a tuning fork to get back to Benroth if they could create one, and if this new amulet will be something that they can use to get home.
• There is much discussion on what the curse is, and what the small game piece knows and how reliable it is.

Feywild Day 42 - Travel Day 24 - Fall 6

• The sky is clear and the weather is beautiful, nothing happens. The party tries to use a compass, which just randomly spins. Everyone is confused.

Feywild Day 43 - Travel Day 25 - Fall 7

• Party travels along road, in morning Roth sees some odd movement off in the woods, and he sees an odd tree, moving not to the wind, but to some kind of internal musical sense that only the tree has. The tree has 3 large pink flowers which are humanoid shaped and seem to dance.
• Roth sees it, and then asks both Fall Fey if they know what it is, but both seem confused and are unsure what the heck it is.
• Olly gets closer to try and find out what the creature is, and upon closer inspection, Rolen is able to remember it is called a Dancing Lady, and it should not bother the party if they don't attack to bother the plant. As the plant is off the path, the party continues on.
• Long Rest.

Feywild Day 44 - Travel Day 26 - Fall 8

• Roth rolls an eight, and the party travels most of the day without issue or anything to fight or harass them.
• Close to the end of the day, Roth sees a huge web across the road, about 200 ft ahead, attached to the road, and a tree on either side of the road. Roth sees 4 large phase spiders, but these are green and blue instead of the blue and white that the party encountered previously.
• Alethra starts off by casting a fireball that hits all 4 spiders and burns up the web, clearing a path along the road. With Roth and Merry both taking shots at the spiders that are left. One dies. The spiders then phase away, and the party waits with actions held.
• 5 spiders appear, with the party dropping 4 of them, and the 5th casting a web spell that misses Alethra and hits Beartrum and Merry. The spider who cast web is quickly taken out, and two additional spiders appear, one crits on Merry, taking a huge amount of damage, mainly poison. Roth is not having that, and crits on a booming shadow blade, with 109 HP of damage. A new game record.
• Merry is still not happy about the spiders, and casts Immolation on the final spider, which Alethra then punches to death, tearing out a fang in her victory. Due to the spell all party members are vulnerable to piercing damage for a min, but now that the fight is over, it does not matter.
• Alethra and Roth work to harvest anything interesting or magical from the bodies, getting 5 4 oz poison sacs from the spiders, showing Aurora some details. Roth also gets 10 eyes, each with multiple lenses on each stem.
• Merry and Beartrum take a short rest to heal up and Merry plays a song of rest, then the spider bodies are stacked and burned, those that are not already burned.
• Party finishes the day's travel and rests.

Feywild Day 45 - Travel Day 24 - Fall 9

• Merry rolls an 8, and there is a light fog throughout the day, reducing visibility.
• Roth sees something off in the texture of the forest as they approach an odd patch of foliage, stopping about 80-70 ft away. Based on the coloring, Roth is pretty sure this is a shambling mound, which heals from lightning damage. The party is not sure how the plant "sees", but Roth and Olly stay in flight the entire fight.
• Merry usese a large spell, casting Freezing Sphere, causing Fairy Fire to be cast on herself, and all 7 shambling mounds were hit, and they now start to move towards the party.
• Alethra uses a high level fireball spell with Ki, but it triggers something and Fly is somehow cast on one of the horses during the magic surge.
• Roth fires and hits a shambling mound, after which Beartrum runs up and uses his roar, which causes 3 of the mounds to flee until Beartrum is out of sight. The 3 just keep going away into the woods.
• Merry uses Shatter and Magic Meteors, which Roth dashes and strikes from the broom, as well as Beatrum hitting with claw and bite, and Alethra using her bow and arrow. This goes on for a few rounds, with one Shambling mound able to cause lightning damage, which is new.
• Roth gets a crit hit on the shadow and booming blade with sneak attack, for a new record of 110 damage. In the next round, Roth does 95 points of damage on another plant creature. Alethra uses flaming fists to also take out a plant. Beartrum claws one to death.
• The last of the 4 mounds that did not run are all taken care of, and the party pauses to check their wounds and regroup.
