Looking for Unlikely Aid

General Summary

Matten Reached out to a party consisting of Rico, Tiff, and Enam and Arc. A good portion of the Xiomaran Council

The party all met in Arbour Kingdom. Matten brought his friends close together for an attempt to influence the Erlkoenig to their side of history. Matten had already spent quite some days researching all he could about Fey and when Tiff was recruited to the party they now had knowlege and egress to enter the Feywild
Matten, then with a determination steps through the portal at the Dryads Mill . When the party enters the Feywild and after a long tunnel that seems to go on forever, they land closer to the town where the more humanoid Fey live. The Echo of Fools. They are instantly met by a group oif scouts of the Wild Hunt. The curious thing about this was that the scouts proceeded to anounce in unison, the exact terms of their hunt.
The party is to be taken; Alive, Nonlethally, Announced attacks are to be made, and if the party were to hunker for rest there will be no attacks in these times.
It would seem that the hunt is more for sport and capture.
the party opts to be taken captive by the scouts and brought before the Monarch, Warden, Monarch of the Wild Hunt. When the party is led to the center of this town they are greeted by a Norn woman, Talowyn, Cutter of the Strings of Life, and are greeted more hospitably than expected. Bandishing their Titles as Seelie Courtier Ricoand Tiff are met openly. The Monarch quickly went on to explain that any human entering through a portal these days is met with similar hostility, and that they have been attacked more than once by those of the Unseelie Court and that they were consistantly in a matched struggle with the forces of the enemy.
As the Monarch is going over the details of the attacks, he would point out the last spot that the Unseelie Scum attacked from, and with the words "oh lovely, and there they are now," the attack began. A large group of Grimstalkers, and Black Crow Knights of the Unseelie fell heavily upon the party. An opening fireball proved quite helpful to the party. The battle went on with greusome wounds on both sides, and death on each hand as well.
As the party and the armies of Wild Hunt defeat the enemies before them they soon retire for rest and all is peavceful for a day. The monarch takes a large number of forces to the edge of their territory to scout out the previous days attack. After haveing spent some time in the town they notice three riders in cloaks of red, white, and black. The riders of the Baba yaga , stroll through town with little care for the notice of others. Proudly they stride through town all the way up the mountain to Hubo and the tree giants that care for him.
Matten snuck closer simply stunned at the appearence of these three riders. He happens to overhear one of the two male riders ask someone to carry word later tonight to Hubo, to drop the mountain he carries onto the The Echo of Fools. Hearing this the party linked up telepathacly after some poor pantamime. The party moved into position for attack when they heard the news. The riders seemed ready to ignore any ill doing and stride away before Matten boldly called out the riders. The rider of black, and the rider of white both ignored these acusations outright and strode on. The rider of red however took a great offense to this acusation in his own realm by a mortal.
Attacking the team and losing he was sent packing and with something so simple as saying and stainding up for what he thought was right in the time, Matten managed to stop what could have been a large confilict between emmisary of the Baba yaga and the Wild Hunt. They were left in the town for one additional day and when the Monarch returned he brought with him the Erlkoenig and the homodryad, that rule over as king of these wilds.
When Matten met the Erlkoenig they had a brief conversation as to the exact nature of his visit to the Feywild. When the Erlkoenig saw that Matten had managed to assemble people who had already gained the favor of the Seelie Court he was rather impressed. Even more so when he learned that all Matten had come to beckon for was the means to protect nature on the material plane.
While the Erlkoenig advised the party, Matten in particular, that he could not spare forces but what he could offer; for only one with a deep love of nature as he, was a choice. He offered Matten a chance to start a new life as a closer embodiment of nature and rebirthed him as a Half Fey.
He buried Matten in shalow and fertile soil and blessed the earth with powerful forces of nature. Matten spent quite some time in the ground where he felt little to no pain, and suddenly no sensation at all. As he suddenly awoke the soil shifted from the lids of his eyes and he emerged more closely resembling a gnome than a human, but one with a pinkish hue to its skin, and a set of fairy wings that looked delicate yet strong and capable.
Another note of business before Matten left, he had a request for his companion Scales. For his companion Matten wished of the Erlkoenig that he would grant him sentience. The king in the forest felt happy to oblige however Scales would be asked to spend one year in the Feywild learning of his newly gained higher intelligence. They said a final farewell with Scales last words to his rider "I'll Wait right here for you..." Little did Scales know, but he may never see his former friend again.
Matten reborn is left to his devices as he is now seen as trusted in the eyes of the Seelie Court. Having drivin back some of the more nasty forces of the Unseelie Court, and gained a power hopefully capable of driving back the forces he faces on the material plane, Matten and the party depart from the Feywild and return home to Arbour Kingdom.
