Session 17: Auidence with a Prince
General Summary
10th Jullin 283
During the night, Mint has a dream.
They are walking through a large town, about 200-300 buildings in it, against a cold ocean, with pebbles and small shales instead of sand, and no life. There is signs that life was there, horse shit in the road, food troughs half filled, fresh produce sitting. But no people. No animals. No life. They continue walking, the city streets turning a twisting, leading Mint to the large great hall atop the cliffside overlooking the town and grey ocean. Inside are signs of a fight, blood on the walls, weapons left on the floor. But no bodies.
They keep walking, seeing a large table with 5 small chairs and two large ones in the centre overlooking the hall. Behind the table, doors leading to bed rooms. Each bed covered in blood, some so soaked theyre still dripping. And a raven flies in, past Mints head silent, but for its cawing. It stands on the headboard, as Mint tries to approach the Raven with swirling patterns of ethereal grey light, it caws and flies towards their head. They raise their arms to protect themselves. And wake up.
Upon waking, the party collect themselves, and are shown the Polantian council chamber, where they are joined by Prince Ased, and the flambouant and extentic Prince Zidos. The two parties, exchange information about the cult with eachother, and Zidos gives the group small medallions emblazoned with the seal of Polantia, and a Lightbox for communications. They are also give a bag known as 'The Pouch' that acts as a small teleportation item, so Polantia and the party can send items to eachother.
A unintentional reveal from Collete has them showing tattoos around their midriff - similar to other Tal enchantments the party have seen in old structures and on Mints weapons - that when disabled reveal Collete's other form. A more androgeonous male presenting form, with short thick dreads, and a slightly squarer jaw and broader nose.
Saying their goodbyes, the party head back to the Clearskies, setting off to find the Green Wyrmlings mother. Verity and Mint have a heart to heart, where Verity expresses how they feel alone here, and are worried they might never return home. With some comforting words from Mint, Verity gets back to her normal self, appologising to Colette, also known as Cole, for putting her foot in her mouth and forcing them to reveal their otherself.
11th - 14th Jullin 283
The party sail for the Exterior Wilds, looking for signs of a Dragons nest, after looking at every lake they find in the swamp at the south of the Multiform Basin, an abadonded Green Dragon Nest.
Verity collects some of the mushrooms growing around, 6 poisionous ones and 20 unnatural ones that have grown because of the Draconic magic around, that she believes will be a boon in spellcasting.
The party discover some wheel tracks, and are besetted by a pack of Kobolds.
After killing the kobolds with some quick sword, axe and lightning bolt work, Rayna uncovers 100gp, 20sp, 78cp, 2 Vials of antitoxin, 1 healers kit, and a rusty set of half plate, which Colette takes.
They follow the track marks to an open field away from the swamp and see a large fortress, that wasnt visable from the sky, inside which are a few buildings, and a cage. With the body of a large, adult green Dragon.
