-The party follows the screams and fleeing townsfolk to find a panicking man (Cyrus Feregald) who seems to be the source of the chaos.

-Lark puts Cyrus to Sleep, while Pestal ties him up (after getting thrown back by a Thunderwave-esque Wild Magic Burst).

Session 2: Rings of Regret (10/16)

Characters: Fella Lumata, Ella, Phobos

Session Summary:

-Fella, Ella, and Phobos each recieve a letter from an unknown sender to meet outside the gates of Seglock. A half-elf named Mirabel meets the party and leads them to a decrepit village, while evading the party's questions.

-Mirabel leads where several others surround a magic circle containing a lich. The cult explains that a group of undead have been interfering with them, and are using the lich as bait. A wight (Hendrick Storick), banshee (Elystra Everglow), and deathlock (Daracamus Glarios) attack the cultists, calling the lich "Regret".

-As chaos ensues, the party is unable to decide which side to help. Phobos makes the executive decision after communicating with Regret to help the undead, and instantly oneshots a nearby cultist.

-Ella kills two of the main leaders of the cultists with a Twinned Chromatic Orb, and the party makes quick work of the rest of the cultists.

-Regret thanks the party for helping to free him, and Elystra explains the situation between the Death Knell Cultists and her group. Regret offers people a second chance to live their life through his magical Rings of Memory, which help the undead retain their memories.

Characters: Lark Lilysong (+ Soup), Feyre Eldarhearth, Fella Lumata, Ella, Phobos

Session Summary:

-Arboreia invites the party to Mapleshire to celebrate the harvest festival (and keep an eye out on things to make sure the festival isn't ruined).

-Lark goes apple bobbing and pumpkin carving, Feyre and Ella start a dance party, Phobos goes digging in the hay for fun, and Fella eavesdrops on Elder Karsan and Lord Oakfallow for a while.

-As the festival goes on, Lark sees two people get their faces smashed into a pumpkin and tries to capture them. Fella telepathically harasses tells Elder Karsan and Lord Oakfallow about the pixie problem.

-Eventually, Feyre and Ella notices a pixie about to harass the dancers and immediately attack it, blasting it into a cart and putting it in a jar. Another pixie appears, but successfully hides in the haybales away from Feyre, Ella, and Phobos.

-Arboreia comes over to help find the pixie in the haybales when two people suddenly get poisoned as they are having their drinks. Lark inspects the drinks and finds that they have been spiked. Feyre examines the two affected and detects more poison hidden underneath the haybales.

-Arboreia comes out with the pixie who was hiding in the haybales and mentions finding some strange bottles. Feyre digs out an unlabeled bottle, which Fella recognizes as Lunardraught.

-Lunardraught is a highly potent and addictive booze made by the Lunar Hounds, who have a history with Fella. She finds one of the members, Warren, secretly spiking drinks and incapacitates him with Color Spray.

-Warren is insulted interrogated and turned over to Elder Karsan and Lord Oakfallow. A third pixie appears and promises to take the other two pixies away, and the rest of the festival goes on without any problems. Each party member is given two Fey Blessing Tokens by Elder Karsan and Arboreia as thanks.

Loot: Fey Blessing Token x2

Session 4: Gobbling Gobblin Goblins (11/21)

Characters: Dr. A, Phobos, Fella Lumata

Session Summary:

-Arboreia asks for the party to meet up with a contact to decipher strange messages relating to "gobblins on the loose".

-The party captures meets a goblin named "Runt", who was responsible for scribbling the messages around town. He enlists the party to help deal with a group of goblins, while mentioning that there are "other gobblins" as well.

-Runt leads the party to the goblin camp, where the party witnesses Gubgub the goblin boss kick another goblin into a tent and hears the goblin get torn apart violently.

-Phobos sneaks into camp invisibly, leading Runt in as bait, while Fella and Dr. A take up positions on the hill for an ambush. Gubgub immediately falls to a Wrathful Smite from Phobos and a crossbolt from Dr. A, while Fella Magic Missiles the other goblins to death.

-As the party begins to make quick work of the goblins, one goblin ducks into a tent and releases what Runt was afraid of: The Gobblins.

-Gobblins are large, carnivorous turkey-like creatures named after their distinct "gobbling" hunting call. Two Gobblins, as well as a Gobblin King, join the fray.

-A long fight ensues, with the party using up nearly all of their resources, and the gobblins healing from the corpses littering the battlefield. In the end, the gobblins (and goblins) are all defeated.

-Runt (who was cowering on the hills the entire time) gets scared off by Fella, and the party returns safely to Arboreia, who rewards them with some gold.
