Notes


The party arrives in Hither
Osros shows she stole the Witchlight Watch
Connie sees a balloon fall into the mist below about a mile away

The party are on a high bridge that stretches high over a swamp. The bridge seems to stretch far but is collapsed in places. Looking behind them they see the bridge go into thick fog. The portal is no longer visible.

Connie and Osros have the instinct feeling this is the place they need to be.
The party suggests sending 1 scout down. Without though Rio jumps over the edge. With misty step he manages to go down without an issue. He hears voices coming close

The party start scaling down the bridge. Many of them losing their grip and falling some part down. When they are down they meet a band of Harengon Brigands that sing a song

With sticks and stones, we’ll break your nose;
We’ll beat you blind and steal your clothes.
But none among us can compare
To one wily, swift, and stand-up hare—
Scarf that’s glorious, thief notorious,
His deeds are truly meritorious!

With a wink and a grin, he’ll show his cunning;
A flash of his scarf, he’ll take off running.
Quick as a bolt, his long scarf trailing,
Gasping, grasping, you’ll end up flailing.
You’ll pout, you’ll moan, you’ll huff, you’ll sneer;
Thanks to Agdon Longscarf, brigand prince of Prismeer!

They mention to the party that they are here to rob them. They want no treasure but like their feeling of absolute delight. The party is not prepared to give them this and intimidate the Harengons to get lost. The band of harengons are scared and run of.

They travel towards where the balloon went down.
They find Slanty Tower where the balloon crashed.
They speak to Sir Talavar who is trapped in a cage.
He asks for help as his pilot died and he is stuck in this balloon's basket.

The party decides to enter the tower to get to him. Cutting down the brambles around the tower they get attacked by a giant snake.

Sir Talavar tells the party he was captured by Bavlorna
That he is a servant of the Summer Queen.

Sir Talavar tells the party after he is freed:

The party tries to Long Rest at Slanty Tower. Connie notices that the tower is surrounded by water.

The party notices the waterlevel raises quicky at random moments
Water rises to 2 ft deep while the party struggles to cut down 2 mushroom caps as boats.

They find a waterlogged battlefield. Rusted over swords, armor and shield is scattered in a big area. In the middle they see 2 big armors. The armors come to life when someone enters the battlefield. And they seem to mimic the motions of the closest living person. They manage to cross the way without any issue after they have found a way to interact with these strange armors

After a long walk they see a hill rise out of the swamp. This must be Telemy Hill.
