Pixia has arrived at the carnival. Everyone got vouchers from Ellegenick Tumblestrum. Pixia got a dandalion and made a wish to eat something tasty. Failed staring contest against 'cyclops'. Refused to go on the mystery mine ride. Pixia has officially left the group (gotten lost) and headed for Bubble-Pop Teapot instead of the Hall of Illusions (missing out on Snail Racing). Enters the teapot, ends up in a bubble with no control, floating in the opposite direction as the rest of the group. Sasha successfully gets Pixia down, leashes her and takes her over to meet the rest of the group at the Hall of Illusions. Everyone enters the Hall of Illusions. Pixia sees a long limbed green short torsoed frog??? stealing something from a younger Pixia's pocket in a mirror. Head to the Big Top for the Big Top Extravaganza. Meri mentions the Hall of Illusions situation to Mr Light and Mr Witch, and everyone ends up in the staff area.

5/4 - - Headfirst into the Hither

"Free the doormat Queen at last"

Emerge from the portal onto a causeway (broken highway) [100ft up]. Can see a swamp down below. No trees, but can see stumps. Sun is just beginning to set. Can see a tower nearby. Decide to camp for the night on the highway. Tyrn has 'trance' and talks to Master of Shadow (patron). Sasha reads Wista's diary...

The next morning.. Fog has extended over the swamp. Wista spots some handholds/mushrooms, and climbs down the pillar. Sasha carries Tyrn down, and failing all their checks, both falling, Tyrn uses pixie dust to catch herself. Sasha falls the 100 ft...... Unconscious. Tyrn stablizes Sasha. Tyrn saw a balloon spiral out of control in the direction of the tower. Group of rabbits comes out of the fog singing. 'This is a robbery' Enter combat - Tyrn puts three to sleep, Sasha kills one, Pixia gets two. Wanted happy memories, put in gold gourd. Wista destroys gourd.

Zybilda is in palace in the middle. Arch-fey is Queen of Prizmire. Go see Bavlorna, Ruler of Hither. Bavlorna is in Downfall. Agdon Longscarf, Prince of the Briggened (fighter) lives in Briggenstollway (giant stump)

Slanty Tower, about a mile away. Wells are erupting, and the water at our feet is starting to rise. gets up to around 5ft, arrive at tower. Hot air balloon has crashed onto the tower. Sir Talivar, One of the Summer Queens servant, escaping the Vile Bavlorna Blightstraw. Balloon was set upon by an ill will and ill wind. Wigglewog didnt survive. Must tell queen about the Fall of Prizmire.

6/1 - - Starting at Slaty Tower

Two serpents sleeping at door, need to help without waking the snakes. Bramble covering the door, and Meri magiks herself to the door with a rope. Meri ties the rope to the door and Pixie holds the other end. Tern goes first, and successfully makes it across. The snakes wake up, battle begins.. One snake goes back into the tower.

Inside balloon, silver birdcage with purple fairy dragon (Talivar??) PIXIA AND DRAGON GOT SWALLOWED BY SNAK AND IT IS TAKING THEM AWAY. Sasha kills the snake and Pixia was rescued.

Sir Talivar of the Summer Court (Queen Tutinia runs Summer Court) was doing business. Seelie court member.

Wigglewog's sister Jinglejangle has the key to the cage. On Teleme Hill (to the east). Bavlorna is part of the hour-glass coven, has two sisters, total of three hags, Igaviles couldran, used cauldron to stop time in Zyblina's palace trapping her in the castle. Clapperclaw can take to thither to yawn then can get to palace. Bavlorna is a toad, Bollywog settlement, lives in a cabin on stilts. We take short rest

See an inn with many legs. Sat down in the mud, Sue is old human lady at the Inn at the End of the Road. The Inn started to move while we entered. Sue does NOT like Agdon Longscarf and his crew bc they are not nice. Tollway is the way to Downfall, the water up there is high. Thither has a wild forest. Sue comes back with a map of Hither. Alicorns are fae?celestial? (there are two in Prismire, bonded pair, in thither or yawn) [will probably need to find and free them both]. Gained two reg potions of healing from Sue, Sasha and Meri each took one. The Inn arrived at Teleme Hill.

6/15 - - Starting in the Inn at the End of the Road

Bavlorna has lorlings?? that caught Talivar. Jinglejangle (goblin) double-crossed them and took the key.

Arrives at Teleme Hill... There be trees!! They are singing willow trees. The trees are 'awakened'. Last of their kind, protecc at all costs. Tom, Tim, Tym, Tam, (there was another one). Going truffle hunting in the mud. Jinglejangle lives on the hill and hasn't been seen in several days. Trees leading up the hill.

Enter cellar of Jinglejangle, lots of keys everywhere; gave her truffles and she is giving us the key. She wants us to find the Haregons and beat them up. Jinglejangle is happy and all the trees begin to dance. We all go back to Inn and get a long rest.

Tyrn looking for spool of thread made of frustration and self-doubt.

Going the long way around to get to Downfall. Need to find Clapperclaw (small Scarecrow, Tyrn saw him in the magic stream)..

Head out, find a raft, begin to drag it with us for when water rises. Wista looks into one of the wells when we pass by it, and she talks to a will'o wisp which says that it used to be a creature before Bavlorna drowned them all. Wista promises the will'o wisp we will stop Bavlorna's reign of Hither. She gets a boon.

Continue and water rises, we all pile on the raft and play Never Have I ever. Sir Talivar won.

Water recedes and Pixia and Sasha begin to carry the raft. Mud creatures pop out, asks what their favorite food is (mud pie), then left.

Come across a stream, oil slick like iridescence on top. Everyone sees different visions. Following this stream to its source.

Have found the edge of a lake. Greater Downfall. King Gallop the 19th. Small dock, over the steps, through the swamp gas balloon factory, and across the bridge. May the Soggy Court treat you humbly. Tie up the raft on the dock.

Pixia successfully convinces the rock golem to let them cross the river over his boulders.

Arrives at the factory. Meri spots a house on stilts. We all cross lake to get to the house on stilts (most definitely Bavlorna's house lol). It was 100% Bavlorna's cottage.

6/29 - - Outside of Bavlorna's Cottage...

Pixie feels a pull to the cottage (the lost thing is in there). Meri teleports himself and Pixia onto the balcony. Set off the frog alarm. Meri deduces that this house is Bavlorna's and we all attempt to leave. Tyrn and Pixia end up left on the dock, with three toad creatures that came from the house. Tyrn got kidnapped by the lornlings!!!! Everyone goes back to save her; we all rush into the house. Smashed a teleporting mirror, then awakened a dark mantle. Killed it. Ignored the Lilypad (definitely will not bite us in the butt later). Going upstairs. We went through a secret passage and became teeny tiny. Witch (Darkling?) and Bavlorna are having tea party. We got talked to by her before the end of the session.

7/27 - - Inside of Bavlorna's Cottage (in the same room as her...)

Charm (Witch/Darkling) is the other person in the room. Bavlorna Brightstraw asks the group why they have invaded her home. Charm is very amused, Bavlorna seems nervous. In exchange for fixing her well, she will return Tyrn. Endalen Moongrave, Charm will be in Yawn, find way to palace at Motherhorn. Magic coming from cabinet, the hallway we came from, the mirror. Group hangs out in a room waiting to be big again. Go back down and meet up with Tyrn. We attempt to break the well even more. There might be a gelatinous cube lodged in the well. Found a cabinet with trinkets. Successfully made it outside and across the clothesline.

9/7 - - Outside of the burnt-out balloon factory

Trying to figure out what we need to do. Enter the factory.

Six coal-sprites, running around and lighting things on fire. Grabbing buckets of water to try to put out the sprites. Successfully put out all the sprites. Wigglewog put the sprites in the factory. Margort is in dungeon for that. Get a brooch from the frog in the factory (Tyrn has it).

We take a short rest.

Cross the bridge (which is lined with pikes with bollywog heads), Clapperclaw is talking to the severed heads (they talk back). The heads are all the past kings.

Clapperclaw: came from thither, escaping Granny Nightshade got attacked by haregan, took head, skull of an elk lots of big pointies on it. Agdon Longscarf took the head. Granny nightshade is hag of Thither. made Clapperclaw, to help her torture other children, has a giant tree that she makes the kids make toys for her.

We make deal, if we get his head back, he will take us to thither.

Attempting to go to the tollway, along river/swamp. See a big cauldron, giant toads, building (big hut). Arrive at the tollway.

Send Tyrn and Reverie to scout out the area. We concocted plan to attack. Branding iron in fire. Pixia killed Agdon oops.. They all leave us alone after and let us know that they gave the head to Bavlorna, ugh.. Pack up and head back to Downfall.

9/21 - - On raft into Downfall

Scarf was cursed by Zibidna herself. Skabatha Nightshade = Granny Nightshade, Clapperclaw is a child soul....

Sir Talivar was helping the enemy of the current king.

Palace of Heart's Desires <- Fey Queen's Palace

Clapperclaw will help us more since we want to free Fey Queen.

Go back to Bavlorna's Cottage to try to make a deal/re-negotiate the deal. Charm is still in the room. Will let us take 3 things from her horde if we do three things for her

1. Clean well
2. Big book of bad blood
3. Bullywuggs have a shipment of corpses we need to go get for her

We go to take out the cube in the well. Killed the cube, water is clean and flowing. Pixia is allowed up into the horde to get her sense of direction. Lornling died in the horde, Pixia successfully able to regain her sense of direction.

Go see Clapperclaw again (really teasing this man/scarecrow/gorde/claw thing).

Decide to head over to the Soggy court.

10/5 - - Heading to the Soggy Court

The King Gullop XIX has a book in his lap, demands a gift. We introduce ourselves, and he demands a favor. He wants us to return the book (the one Bavlorna wants) but wants us to go get the courtly attire to 'properly' represent his court. Reverie is handed a goblet with a piece of parchment within, while we are in front of the King.

"Find Illig, the Baron of Muckswamp(Muckstump), the Revolution lives!"

Meri gets handed the book, and we head towards the clothiers. Come across a giant tree with a castle on top of it. Enter it and are handed a random assortment of clothing (very dirty). None of them fit Pixia, and are too big for Tyrn. Activities to do: Sparing, Toadstools, Cauldron, Prisoners (holding cell? Margort?).

Head to cells; Only a single prisoner, Morgort, Former Knight of ?Revolution?. Asking the guards for the information on Baron Illig. He is located in the Tree Palace, so we head there. Searching for a bit. Illig has a hutch down to the South, where 'he is pulling together some sort of plan, if you know what I mean'. If Bavlorna finds out that the balloon factory is down, then she might kill the King.

We go get close to prison and decide to attempt to set stuff on fire to draw the guards away from the prison. Causing an evacuation of the Palace, successfully distracting the guards. Reverie picks the lock and opens the door, freeing Morgort. She takes us down south to get to Illig's cabin.

On the way, pass Toadstool forest, Elf playing melancholy toon. Elf had her heart taken by Bavlorna and replaced it with a goat's heart. Elf = Octavian Melaham.

Make it to the cabin. Illig's plan is to stab the current king in the eye. (very smart). A crate is located within the cabin that is identical to what Bavlorna wants.

Thither has toadstool rings (portals) Skabatha.

** Pixia needs to think about how to talk to Morgort about perhaps becoming the queen of the bullywugs. **

Get crate and begin to head to Bavlorna's house.

Three sisters in burn book

• Skabatha Nightshade - got her revenge by taking Skabatha's fav cat
• Endelyn Moongrave - stole thread (Tyrn's patron??)
• Tasha - nothing in book

Arrive back at Bavlorna's house, she is soaking in the pool. Bavlorna asks us to bring her her sister's portrait.

Loamlurch (hollowed out tree), central room, 4 portraits (all the sisters), Bavlorna wants Skabatha's portrait bc it would be funny??

Meri and Reverie end up in the freezer with a gold box. "The sexy elf's" heart is in the box.

Pixia and Wista go up into the hoard to get the head and ability to write (respectively).

10/19 - - Bavlorna's Cottage

Bavlorna's Room: Padlocked chest with initials "BB".

Freezer: Heart Chest

Pantry: Mushroom in a glass, knocking its head in a glass

Distillery: mushroom alcohol

Dining Room: exists

Aviary: pillars with clothes covering what is on them.

Returning the key while Reverie goes to break the mushroom out of its jar.

Sexy elf's heart is the freezer (because special cold elf), so Bavlorna's unwilling to part with it. Elemental Gem could replace??

We leave the cottage. Head over to Clapperclaw. A new head, Gallop the 19th, has joined the spikes. Return Clapperclaw's head, and he leads us to the balloon factory, where Morgort is waiting for us. She informs us, we need to steal the balloon *facepalm*. Three giant frogs are guarding the balloon. We try to convince them first, they attack Meri. Meri gets pulled into a frog's mouth. Combat begins. We successfully kill the frogs.

THE MUSHROOM REVERIE SAVED SINGS!!! Meri asks the mushrooms gender, to which they ask, whats a gender. Meri names it Princeling.

We all get into the balloon and begin the head for Thither.

We level up to level 4!

We have entered Thither, a forest full of wonderous nature.

Clapperclaw recommends Old Man Nib as a place to stay. A parchment is nailed to a tree. A curly headed boy is on the poster, Wanted The Will of the Feywild, Granny Nightshade. Take the poster with us (Tyrn has it).

Clapperclaw leads the group to the cave. Blindfolded man (Nib) sits at spinning wheel, transferring gold pieces (piles around him) into golden fiber. Nib is from Waterdeep, made terrible deal with Granny Nightshade. Nib wants to give us something, something about rules of hospitality, we are welcome to spend the night. Meri spots a spectre behind Nib, it is his curse. He is cursed to remain in the cave, spinning gold into gifts for people, while having his back stabbed by the people he stabbed in the back.

• Meri: elemental gem of ice
• Reverie: boots of elvenkind
• Pixia: weapon of warning
• Tyrn: ring of waterwalking
• Wista: wand of secrets
• Sasha: Gauntlets of Ogre Power

DO NOT TAKE THE GOLD FROM THE CAVE

Granny Nightshade, has a key in back, turning quickly = bad mood, good mood = slow/stop turning. Has a candy market run by goblins, in addition to the toy factory. Flying rocking horse to deliver scary toys to children. Obsessed with Will of the Feywild, leader of The Getaway Gang, Live in a giant ent called Little Oak.

Note: Reverie and Sasha are pulled to the Northwest of Thither (presumably their lost things)

Tyrn gets a dream from her patron [who is probably-definitely Endelyn Moongrave]. She wants Tyrn to leave Thither using the toadstool portals (need to get Skabatha to give the correct way). She tells Tyrn to steal Nib's shadow, [OMG she is so evil fkajglajgfdjgj aje ngkjfdgj].

11/2 - - Thither - Nib's cave

Nib sends us off in the northeast direction. Pixia leading the way. Old centaur crosses the path, [the realm around you is fading way] the centaurs left Prismire, Winterbow. Yawn, cold, used to be a snowy mountain.

Unicorn at Wayward Pool, Lamorna. Elidon is Lamorna's mate (alicorn?). Hospitality rule? second time this has been said...

Meri asks Wista if they are a part of a litter.. Sasha asks how cat people are made.. Everyone is an only child except for Pixia (who has a younger sister). Clapperclaw then says that Granny killed him and made him into what he is. Before that he worked in her factory. Clapperclaw won the most interesting backstory award...

Come across a ring of toadstools on the ground. Toadstools are grumbling, 70+, in a circle 20ft wide. They start making fun of the party. Sasha kills it (apparently its name is Jim). Sasha starts wack-a-moleing them. Toadstools were given life by Skabatha, to prevent people from crossing out of Prismire. Skabatha uses the toadstools.

Two day journey to get to tree.

Three pixies having a tea party. (Maypole, Cowslip, and Spiderlily) They are arguing about the identity of the doorstop. Stole it from the material realm. Meri convinces them it is a piece of modern art and they should sell it to the goblin. They give Meri a whistle (Conjure Woodland Beings) to use.

Find a camp site for the night. Meri creates a wooden version of Sasha. Night passes uneventfully. "I'm happier to have this than not have this" - Sasha

"I'd rather have you than not" - Sasha to Meri

Sasha traumatizes Tyrn by waking her up but being really close to her face.

We continue. Giant claw print, Draconic in nature, 3 ft in diameter. Dragon took off into the air. Jabberwak dragon. Forest is moving around us as we walk.

See a cauldron boiling on a campfire. Frying pan nearby, lone compastry (mushroom). We convince it that its "friend" was going to eat it, so it's going to go home to Mom?? Goblin Kro'arh comes back and Wista attempts to gaslight it. Goblin gives us candy. Chucklehead, head goblin, toffy head, goblins work alongside Nightshade. Toy soldiers. Need to convince Chucklehead to lead goblins in revolution.

Can see the Little Oak walking ahead of us.

Missed a session

Truely ancient and terrifying hag, toadish hag, hag with windup key, Tasha, Endolen

• mushroom concert

• dog funeral
• talking oil can
• yeeting the tabaxi
• owlbear? Juniper
• made a plan?

1/11 - - Shoreline of unicorn (Lamorna)'s lake (Wayward pool)

Discussion of who is wearing the unicorn costume (Wista, Tyrn, Reverie). Sasha sits on Pixia's shoulders with scissors; Pixia falls in, Sasha does not. Meri crosses ("Monty Python runs). Juniper crosses with the last three following behind. Every successfully crosses the lake. Find pyre, and light it on fire. Unicorn stands on the water of the lake, and watches us. Meri says "NEIGH" (with pazzaz). The unicorn speaks to Meri. She doesn't trust Tyrn (specifically her magic). Lamorna gives us a magic powerpoint with a lore dump.

• Elidon's horn got stolen and used to make the evil magic. Elidon is probably alive, and prisoner to one of the hags? We need the horn, and/or Elidon to free
• Endolen = Motherhorn is castle = most evil of the hags.
• Dandalien named Domindor with let us into Yawn.

Unicorn is attacked by assassin.. Everyone attacks. Lamorna teleports away on her turn. Tyrn charms the Orc assassin. Zarak the Orc-> "Friend is an enemy I haven't made yet". League of Malevalance, want unicorn horn, Kilik (running the palace where Zybilna lived), wants custody of the staff, which is in the hands of Rigglerone (who is trapped with Zybina). Jabberwack lives in the palace. Scabatha is the most approachable. Endolyn is a fan of puppet shows, sad shows, and can see the future probably. Way to get back topside in Yawn.

Kilik, Wardook, Zardash, there was another that I missed lol.

Send Zarak to Nib's cave (gold cave), so he stops hunting the unicorn.

Fast travelling to Loomlurch.

Enter the goblin market, talk to Chucklehead. He has a maggot crawling around his apple toffee head. Gives his terrible backstory, but he has a happy and great outlook on life (horrifying). Meri goes candy shopping (bugs, tears of children, and just plain dirt?). Meri finds a pretty pebble, that might be a geode. Reverie breaks it open for him. They rejoin the group talking to Chucklehead. Chucklehead goes to set up the meeting with Scabatha, and we are invited into the parlor. Entering the parlor, Scabatha is seated and waiting for us. The Key is part of her body. There is a suspicious toy box in the corner of the parlor. Leveling up at end of session.

Missed a session

Tyrn saved River. Made plan to throw Scabatha into the oven. Forced Scabatha to Plane Shift away. Lots of mushrooms, got a pig, got a painting. Baby green dragon was sleeping.

2/8 - - In the Kitchen, in the Jack in the Box

Meri goes into the study, finds lots of books about the history of the Feywild, takes four books (turns to ash as soon as Meri tries to leave). Finds an hourglass with an eyeball in the bottom of it, Black feather quill (produces own ink), clockwork toad. Tyrn is devastated at the realization that her patron is the big bad of yawn. River and Pixia break the fire elemental out, it waits in the oven for a signal to burn the tree down. We go exploring. Reverie is called to a specific door, in the room she finds the horn of an alicorn *very important*. River opens the other door, picks up some mundane supplies. Reverie opens another door, finds a moth-covered pig-faced girl (Sowpig), standing in the room. Reverie pokes her with the dagger. She is not nice girl, the second-hand to Scabatha. Wants a happy memory in exchange for telling us where Reverie's name is. Reverie gives a 'happy memory' and is told that her thing is in the dollhouse, which is in the room above the study. We go up some stairs and find three children working. Pogo, Caliban, Yaveda. Do a dance and say a thing can make the mushroom circle go. Pud is a kid who will tattle. Send the kids to get stuff from the big cupboard and will meet them at the front door. We head to Scabatha's room which is unlocked. Cradlefall is written on the cradle, which is the name of the green dragon. Found dollhouse, Reverie goes over to investigate.

Reverie was able to regain her lost thing!!

Small door leads to aviary, clockwork sparrows, windows to Hither and Yawn. Squirt can get us to Yawn. Glif, Pim, Zwee, (clockwork sparrows). Scabatha and Bavlorna and Endolen letters, need to know the true name of being and unicorn horn (must touch person with horn) to free from cauldron freeze. Scabatha and Bavlorna are scared of the Jabberwacky. [ *Lily's prediction* Endolen totally saw us getting the horn and will probably try to blackmail Tyrn into getting it for her]

Rocking horse is missing from the yard. Green Dragon didn't want to be pet so now we fight. Wanted his mommy, everyone took turns bonking him on the head, till he passes out. We take him out to the tree. Pincushion doll animated by Baba-yaga, loves fashion, makes Meri laugh uncontrollably for a minute. Let the pincushion go. Find some more children, rob the toy creation room, and then set the tree on fire. Sowpig tells Reverie that Tyrn works for Endalen. "Bandersnatch" before falling through mirror.

Loomlurch is set on fire and the session ends.

Between Sessions note:

Tasha and Zybilna look the same based on the pictures from within Loomlurch. (Same person?)

3/21 - - Outside Loomlurch

River officially joins the party. Will informs us that he will be taking the kids through a mushroom portal. He wishes us luck and we head out, beginning the trek to Yawn. Takes 2 day to get to stone statue. Tyrn doesn't get a dream from Endolen, either night. River doesn't really have memories from before Scabatha, dreams of her ?mother?. Squirt takes us through the mist wall, into a realm of darkness (night with no moon).

We enter Yawn. (Mercedes informed me it is spelled Yon, but I don't like that spelling so I refuse to change it).

Can see Motherhorn (the giant dark castle).

Syledion Dark female elf (Gleam), with moon mask (missing shadow; Tyrn gave her shadow to elf's shadow), a 3ft tall dandalion (French?) (Amidor), and bumblebee of orange (Pollenella). Dandalion threatens us with his rapier. Gleam is looking for their sister Glister. Gleam and Glister were acrobats, moon and sun, from Witchlight Carnaval. Endolen is scared of an eclipse. Prophecy or something that if an eclipse happens then she will die?. Tyrn admits to group that her shadow is with Endolen. Amidor knows the way to the Palace of Heart's Desires, but will not take us until Gleam is reunited with their sister.

Fae beacons (light all 8 lanterns, row out to the center of lake and wish to go home). Flock of Paratine blocks the fae beacons. Briggennocks or through Corred (Dance at lockberry edge)

Update: ONLY PIXIA DOESN'T HAVE DARK VISION. So we head to the mines (*facepalm*) We level up to level 6.

As we walk to the mines, Gleam like rapid fires lots of info about a bunch of people in Yawn, that I, Lily, totally zoned out for so oops...

Suddenly a huge tornado appears, we fail the group strength save, and are whisked away to right in front of the Briggennock mine. The Owlbear was left behind, and Meri insists that we go back for it *facepalm*. On the way back, we see a throne that has astrological symbols. Has elvish written on it, Reverie reads it, something about sitting on the chair and unraveling. Mazacoth, dark elf, claims to be from a dark star. Meri immediately sits on the throne, sees the stars (was there for an hour). He inherits a fragment of Mazacoth's psyci (gets prof in skill). take short rest. We make it back to Juniper (owlbear), and then start going back to the mines. Meri and River have a heart to heart on the way back.

There are statues of Correds(small creatures), at the entrance to keep the Briggennocks in their mines. Tyrn fell asleep based from magic. She cannot be awakened until after an hour or by anything short of a Wish spell (wtf this is intense). Moliver is a man that we meet in the caves, who seems to be the Briggennock's ambassador. River was able to convince Moliver to lead us through the mine. Valor's Call, adventuring party, chasing the League of Malevolence. Endolen kidnapped a Briggennock architect that is being forced to make contraptions. Correds are working with Endolen?

Leads us to the edge of a chasm, opens into rope bridge across to the cavern. Meri and River immediately cross the bridge, about half-way across 3 flame-skulls appears out of the chasm. Pixia is holding sleeping Tyrn, and Reverie are all not on the bridge.

4/4 - - Within the caves of the Briggennocks

Wia, Tia, and Pia, are the flame skulls. They make sure that no one steals any wishes, Reverie (Meri and River were retconned to not be on the bridge, since both players were not in the session to begin with) attempts to convince the flame skulls to let her cross. Accuses them of being a dictatorship... Pixia was able to successfully convince the skulls to allow them to cross. The bridge goes over many many many many "bad" or "evil" wishes. Tyrn wakes up. Pony with a house on his back. Wista befriends the horse and knocks on the door of the mini house. The oldest Briggennock (Obud) and a tiny ball of light. Tyrn and Pixia are given the equivelent sized wishes (from the very first session when they wished on some dandelions). Tyrn kept theirs the same. Tiny guy tells Pixia to come back in the morning and Pixia will get a 50gp diamond. Creeping Lyn's Theatre of Power. Obud asks us to do something for him before he will take us to Motherhorn. (it was give him candy WHICH NONE OF US HAVE WE ARE FAILING THE LOOTING, or you know improve international relations between two people who want to kill eachother on site, no big deal) He wants us to improve relations with the Correds, so we head out to go do that. We need to ring the bell at the front door when we come back.

As we are walking down the path, a giant cyclops comes looking for the little Pollenella (the bumblebee), everyone attempts to hide, Pixia does not hide very well... Amidor challenges him to a duel, Pixia attempts to descalate the situation, is unsuccessful, and combat begins.

We defeated Mudlump the cyclops! We take a long rest after that battle.

Tyrn gets a visit from Endolen, basically threatening her, hurts her in the dream. (takes half damage)

4/16 - - At lock burny hedge

Statues and a life size game board, game of crowns. Wista moves the piece into the winning place. Wista helped the Queen win the game against her companion, and she gives her a gift. A 1000gp fire-sapphire that is a stone of good luck for 24 hours. The Queen claims the Briggenocks are working for Endolen, and River manages to convince them that they were being deceived by Endolen, and she sets up a party to go make peace with them. She also wants us to attempt to get some of their hair back from Endolen. Used to be snowy mountain before Endolen made it into a thunderstorm place. We head out to go back to the Briggennocks.

We are being followed by two shadows, Pixia attempts to hit one, and combat starts.

Shadows are defeated, and we all go back to the mine and take a short rest. Pixia retrieves the 50 gp gem from Ajax. Moliver comes over and hands Pixia a sending stone, which we can call in the corracks and briggennocks army into Motherhorn (for after hag has been dealt with). Tunnel leads into the backstage of the theatre.

We enter into Motherhorn. [For companions, we only have Gleam and Amador] We exit the *secret tunnel* (cue song), into a backstage room. The room contains a mariannette, and Reverie blocks up the hole. Wista goes up to help the mariannette [Break-a-leg] and untangles the strings. He was Endolen's first living puppet, who had a flaw, so he was left down in the store room. Some tidbits, Endolen wrote a secret about Skabatha on invisible paper in the Ocular library, which is in the level above. The next room has a Charmay watching over goblins. Prisoner hall is in the first tower level. Sharme made a deal with Endolen, might not have gone the way she wants. We walk into the next room with confidence, see 18 goblins, Charmay, and a Briggennock on the table next to her. Charmay (name is actually Skylla?). River convinces Jeoffrey of the goblins to give us all fittings. Jeoffrey leads us to the stage level (stage left). Leads us into a prop-storage room, Pixia gets a giant banana costume (wtf *facepalms*). Pixia finds a dress of candy and gives it to Gleam. Tyrn has been given a princess dress (become a pretty princess). Meri got a vampire costume. Amador got a dryad outfit. Jeoffrey leads us to the dressing rooms. A bugbear Hearley, who has fallen out of favor with Endolen, needs a pep talk. The mirrors reflect Endolen's idea of a person. Skylla's patron is Baba-Yaga. We head out to try and find the prison area. Baba-Yaga is the MOTHER of the Hags.

We go into the library and find the invisible paper, but none of us can read it. Wista begins reading books (Reverie is actually reading the Elvish). The books tell a future and we hear a prophecy about the end of the hour glass coven comes after an eclipse. We continue on to the prisoners place. We walk up the stairs, and see the ovalrian, the giant contraption is revolving and making a lot of noise. Endolen Moongrave and Skabatha Nightshade are sitting on the balcony. The Prison door is magic and spelled to not let anyone in, it has Endolen's face. We force the mouth open with halberts and manage to get inside. Four cells are within the complex. Find an elf with the Sun mask. We have freed Glister. She asks us what the plan is (we have no plan) and the session ends.

6/13 - - Beginning fight against Endolen on the stage

• River punches lizard Tyrn, turning her back to normal
• Wista Banishes Skabatha
• Tyrn counterspells Endelyn's plane shift
• Meri goes down
• Glimmer and Gleam complete the eclipse, and Reverie throws a magic girl dagger into Endelyn's eye killing her
• We all set up to ambush Skabatha when she comes back
• Surprise round led to everyone attacking, and Pixia (the person before Skabatha's turn) severed the key from her body.

TWO HAGS ONE COMBAT LETS GOOOOO

"Look up above in a cave of heights or you'll be impaled with stalagtite."

Pixia calls in the little people and the chess people to help with the clean up

Meri is called to somewhere up high and sets off the trap on the door *facepalm* almost die dies 10 points away from dead dead.

We take a short rest. Reverie picks the lock, and Meri goes into the room. Meri regains his lost item (his sense of humor)

7/11 - - In Motherhorn

Inside Endelyn's bedroom, Meri has started to make moon jokes. Empty cat bed... Poor cat... We loot the room.

Black sack with door handles?

8 bottles of exquisite elven wine

shriveled up hand with fancy star ring and holding blank parchment - Parchment reads something about a third act by Endelyn Moongrave

- Ring of Shooting stars

Glister and Gleam leave through the mirror back to the Caravel.

Sasha comes running into the room, up the stairs. She looks changed, she got her creativity back! We get a flashback to her getting it back from the smoldering ruins of Loomlurch + her journey to find us.

- Will: was an oni *gasp* was cursed by Skabatha's sisters to have a good heart WTF; wants Zybilna to make him never be an oni again.

The party attempts to find the belfrey. We enter into a room with bottles of lightning on the walls, and three paper birds in the cage. very angry paper birds. Pixia, River and Tyrn attempt to catch the birds, Tyrn's gets away, River catches her's but it self-destructs; Pixia's reads something about:

Lord calic written Tragegties of aligarthing, League of Melevance; Skylla is a member of League, Endelyn wanted her gone.

Wista takes four bottles of lightning in a bottle. Found the bell in the tower with Elvish written on it. Go to get ladders, warn Moliver and the briggenocks about Skylla. Sasha and River have a heart to heart while carrying ladders. "Toll the bell to go to the palace of Heart's Desire."

Wooden Ornithoper; Flying machine. 8ft length; we bring it to the room with the bell with the intention to bring it with us when we hop to the Palace.

Find Charm, and get portraits done by her... and purchase other stuff from her

Look into the unlooked rooms, say goodbye to friends, and take a long rest.

Hold onto eachother (Pixia grabs flying machine + shoulder), River rings the bell. Rings 8 times, comes to a stop, see 7 giant cranes coming in the distance, the sun came out; climb on the crane's backs, cross through the mist, and see the Palace of Heart's Desires...

100s of birds scatter and then the Jabberwack flies towards the palace ahead of us, and then drops into the palace. The cranes drop us off at the palace, and WE LEVEL UP TO LEVEL 8!!

7/25 - - Palace of Heart's Desires's courtyard

Riddle written in elvish: "The lion or the hart must wear the crown, But which one should it weigh down?" [Hart: is a stag-like creature]

Group of badger minstrals entertaining group of 7 people. Music never seems to be ending.

• two of the people seem to be frozen
  • halfling
  • female orc chief
• Syma farmer female human; has an awakened jack-o-lantern Yamzu;
• high elf male noble
• dwarf
• human female
• a bear

Waiting for the "darling friend" arch-fey Zybilna, and listening to minstrals while they wait (YEARS WTF).

The gift on the table is from Sir Talivar, a Chime of Opening.

Leave the people to their listening, going to investigate the circle of stones.

They are magical, Meri determines that it is a teleportation spell circle (Feywild only - can connect to the moon's Feywild).

Fruit hanging from the trees, silver abjuration, gold divination, good to eat.

• Gold: Meri, River
  • Advantage on wisdom saving throws for 24 hours
• Silver: Pixia, Tyrn
  • 10 temp hitpoints

Tree talks to River, tower: "Envy lives in the tower" "Envy looks like a lion"

Bronze plaque reads "Envy" in common. No one answers the calls out.

Iron Lion forces us to kneel. Protect the garden from intruders, Will not protect visitors, visitors must remain in the garden.

Crown is a key to enter the palace in Zybilna's absence, silver needles, need to place on specific head of person, turns it into golden rose crown, depends on which head it is on, certain areas will be opened or locked. Other guardian is Wrath. "Envy is greater than Wrath" oof

Go to investigate the great-axe imbedded a stump. It is a wood-cutter's axe. See a garden inside the garden with cobwebs everywhere. A fountain that has frozen water. Fountain makes you feel more awake. Meri licks to water, becomes a peacock for a moment... River pours a ladel full of water at foot of tree, which awakens it. it is now an alive tree.. permanently.. LADY IN POND, ROSE GARDEN Tree moves to the opposite side of garden cause it wants to.

We head to pond. Water in the pond is frozen. Tyrn casts Waterbreathing on everyone. River is offered a hand full of silver needles from the Nyad. They say "The beginning of Whenever The end of Ever After The start of an Age The finale of every Moment The first in History". We head towards Wrath. Need to jump up to the top of the wall, Enter Wrath's tower.

Iron Hart calms down. Zybilna is not there if the two guardians are there. River places the needles onto the Hart's brow and transforms into the crown of golden roses. "The crown locks of the hart are undone." In order for the Hart to give up the crown, we need to fill their baskets with berries. "ONLY BERRIES" We leave and check the door, we saw, which is now open.

We sneak into the servant's quarters. Five frozen goblins, there is a pink foot sticking out from under a bed. A fey being is hiding under the bed. Scared Fey wants rings! [Thinnings, but we don't know his name, Mercedes gave it to us] We leave him alone.

Kitchen is frozen contains a huge cake, with 8 pixies, with three giant rats on a table. Cake says "Happy Birthday Zybilna". The creepers wrapping around the cake are NOT frozen. Roots lead into a tower that has a bean stulk, it has grown and lifted the top half of the tower 80ft into the air. [Some toad/bat in tower, bring back plant awakening water?? to awaken beanstulk]

Center room has large tower with maelstorm raging, a person has been shunted out of the tower and is frozen in air. We exit and head to the Rose Garden.

8/8 - - Outside the Rose Garden

Looking for spiders. not spider webs, they are ettercap webs. Magic coming from center rose bush. three ettercaps, one frozen satyr. The ettercaps try to threaten, but don't attack.

Roses wrapping around statue of satyr - different colors - poke shows different types (Chromatic Rose)

• black - acid
• blue - lightning
• green - poison
• red - fire
• white - cold

We each take a rose and gain resistance to those types.

Exploring the castle

• River gets attacked by the rug bc she didn't take a white rose from the vase.
• Magic hooks; cause person to become invisible for one hour. Everyone does it
• River jumps in pool with jabberwacky hoard and took three items. (sword, gauntlets, and helmet)
• Find room with Frozen Zybilna + other people, and an asleep Jabberwacky.. Meri approaches frozen Zybilna, with unicorn horn and attempts to say her "true name" [Tasha (doesn't work)/Zybilna (doesn't work)]. After the second name, the Jabberwacky wakes up...
• Wista manages to banish the Jabberwack, which we then go sprinting into the rooms, freeing the wizard Rigglerone, who then leads us to free the cleric next to Zybilna named Mercion. Then run into the records room, which has a scribe that is frozen in time.
  • Strongheart - big paladin - friendly - probably/might be the person frozen in the air in center room
  • Keeluk - evil warlock
  • Warduke - evil sorceror
  • Zargash - evil cleric
• Get the cake for a giant in the dining hall. We go out on terrace, eat food, and are service by magic table stuff like beauty and the beast
  • Demitase - head silverware (spoon specifically)
    • said head butler might know the answer, can do with a poem
    • Zybilna acts as a fairy godmother for people
      • glass statues to commemorate the helping (which might be the actual people that she made a deal with the spoon was unclear [i.e. discord did it's cutting out thing so I missed if it was an actual answer or just a shrug])
    • bearded man watches over the palace (Keeluk?) feeding the giant that arrived 3 days ago
