Questing
The party was ambushed by the Nareshi that we were pursuing. Obviously, they are much stronger than we are, and we were forced to “agree” to get the anti-spear for them, or they’d kill us. Some members of the party argued over what to do, but Tempest strongarmed the group into at least saying we would do it. That night, she apologized for it.
A Rock and a Hard Place
The party discusses what to do.
Merry talks about how these people are not good people with which to negotiate or deal. He has a pretty pessimistic view on the whole thing.
Mahina points out that no one knows what the anti-spear looks like and that we could give them pretty much anything and say it was the anti-spear.
The party notices that Book’s pet rock is no longer with them.
The party discusses how they may be after the anti-spear because undead have been terrorizing the people of the Ulan.
The party finds a path toward the road and heads toward Arabelle.
The party continues on through the overcast day. About midday it begins to rain. When it starts to rain, Mahina takes off all her clothes and stuffs them in her backpack. Her nakedness does not seem to impede her progress.
They find some interesting plants. Nora finds some seasonings and Mahina finds some toadstools that could be used for a sleeping draught.
The party finds themselves in a clearing. The rain stops.
Pixy Party
In the clearing, the party sees about 200 sprites including satyrs, etc. They are having a large celebration. As they notice the party, they disappear.
Mahina runs after them, telling them to come back.
After they disappear a giant, floating dire badger, dire wasp, a hawk, and two wyverns appear in the air and glare at the party menacingly.
Ugly goes in to attack.
Nora tells everyone it’s all just an illusion and we can carry onwards.
Merry performs a peaceful song. Two of the wyverns & Ugly feel more calm and no longer want to attack anything. A pixy became visible and appears handsome, regal, and male. He does not appear afraid.
Mahina instinctively speaks to the pixy in Sylvan and tells the pixy to not be afraid, that the party is just passing through.
Tempest sees that it is an illusion.
The dire badger rights himself and lunges at Merry, who takes damage.
Tempest tries to restrain Ugly and succeeds. Ugly tries to drag her with him but cannot.
The pixy says that this is a sacred area and in order for us to pass then we must have been powerful sorcerers. Mahina replies that she is an elf and is leading their friends.
Merry notices that one of the satyrs is wearing a cloak like the party has and was gifted by the dryad they saved.
Merry explains about the cloaks. Mahina repeats it to the pixy.
The pixy declares that the party are fae friends and that the festival should continue. Mahina relays this to the party and that we should join them. Mahina dances around and joins in their merriment.
Mahina declares to the pixy that they will always be friends to the fae and to contact them if they ever need any help.
Merry tries to convince the party to leave Mahina there.
Tempest says she thinks they probably or might need Mahina. Some fae start to braid Tempest’s hair.
Mahina asks if they can get the cursed vest off of Ugly. The pixy says that they can try to get the vest off of Ugly but they aren’t all that good at that kind of thing.
Mahina says that her friends aren’t elves and can the pixies do something so that they can understand what the fair folk are saying without going through her.
Mahina goes back to party.
Mahina tells them that they need to be courteous and appreciate their hospitality. The pixies want to show them their spoils they they got from the humans (that were the ones that had Book).
A pixy talks to Ugly in Yarnick and asks if he’s fae blooded since he’s so short. Ugly explains about the vest. He explains to the pixy that he can throw bigger rocks if the pixy can get off the vest. The pixy tried but couldn’t get it off so another pixy tries but he also fails. Ugly tries to convince more pixies to help him but so far none have succeeded.
Merry and Tempest go to see the spoils. There is a long piece of leather and on the leather are six gloves on display. They are medium sized gloves and all left-handed gloves. All six gloves are magical. They are all different colors and every one has a different symbol (fist, two eyes- one open and one closed, tree, heart, foot, and wolf). The pixie says they all were only wearing one glove. He says it was about 2 weeks ago that they stole the gloves.
The pixie says that the party is welcome to try them on but the pixies can’t use them.
The pixies give them the gloves and Merry in exchange teaches them some new songs and dances. Tempest also performs some Peteran dances and songs.
All have transmutation
- Fist: Abj/Trans -- Ugly (resistance? helps when punching)
- Wolf: Strong Trans -- Tempest (feel healthier = +2hp)
- Eyes: Illusion/Trans -- Merry (darkvision)
- Heart: Conj/Trans -- Nora (health checks, resistance)
- Foot: Trans (feels like two cloaks of resistance on, feels faster - adds stamina?)
- Tree: Abj/Trans -- Mahina -- Barkskin effect + natural armor bonus/skin feels shinier
Mahina gives them a bag of BooBerries that she had and the fae are delighted with the gift.
Merry asks if there is any way that they can help speed along the party’s journey.
The fae embassador lets them know that the time spent in the special grove only has mere seconds passing in the world outside. The party makes camp.
Party Poopers
Mahina agrees to letting them help her go to sleep. The satyr begins to play and Mahina dozes off but Merry tries to stay awake in order to pay attention to the song. Nora also lets herself go to sleep. The feelings of the other gloves flash through her as she drifts off.
While we were sleeping, Tempest dreams of a battle where she was feeling quicker and doing awesomely. Mahina dreamt of being a tree. Merry dreamt of being stealthy and hiding. Ugly dreamed of bashing stuff. Nora dreamt that she was watching over everyone sleeping.
The next morning Mahina sees the fae that took the vest off of Ugly and convinces the fae that taking the vest off with magic would make a good party game.
They eat breakfast with the fae and hear the stories of the illusions, then continue on their way. As soon as they leave the grove, it is raining again and it seems that the sun has moved back a little.
The party meets up with the road.
