Notes
We start in Nib's Cave. Nib asks if he can be to help creating them any useful things.
Nib creates 3 items for the party. A Mystery Key, Ragged Scarf of Invisibility and Winged Clown Boots. Then he thanks the party.
They Question Nib about Will of the Feywild.
He tells them several things
- Granny Nightshade has a key protruding from her back that indicates her mood by how fast it turns. When she’s happy, the key turns quickly. When she’s upset, the key turns slowly. If she loses her temper, the key stops completely.
- Many children toil away in Granny Nightshade’s workshop, crafting toys.
- Granny Nightshade is obsessed with capturing Will of the Feywild, a boy who helped a handful of younger children escape from Loomlurch. Will of the Feywild’s motley group of rascals is known as the Getaway Gang. The gang is protected by a treant named Little Oak.
- The fallen tree on the map is Loomlurch. This is where Skabatha lives
- The walking tree is Little Oak
They continue towards the Lake. On there way they find 5 dog like creatures that appear to be blink dogs. They are looking at a hole in the road. And seem to have their full attention on the hole.
The party gets closer. One of them blinks over and seems to understand Sylvan.
Moira picks up a stick with a mage hand and starts waving the stick in front of the faces of the Blink Dog. They Dogs seem to be annoyed and attack. The party kill all blink dogs and they find another dead blink dog in the hole that looks stoned. Rashid tries to lasso the dead blink dog from the hole, and manages it.
The dead blink dog seems to be way heavier than they expected. And seems to act like a stone.
JID identified the body of the dead blink dog.
Connie finds some berries and thinks they are tasty. Leaf knows they will probably not kill him but taste horrible. Connie eats one and they are so sour and bitter that his hole body's muscles thence up for 20 minutes. Connie pockets 2 handful of these berries. Later JID identifies them as Sour Bombs. They are so sour that you will have to manage a constitution saving throw or be knock incapacitated for 30 minutes. If you succeed you are only stunned for 20 seconds
They come across another Wanted Poster. The party creates an ad for Nib's Cave for free magic items.
The party finds a ring of toadstools arranged in a perfect circle. Moira decides to dance within the circle. She is a good dancer. She feels something change with her eyes. She sees one of the blink dogs as a transparent dog following the party, Only Moira seems to be the only one that can see it. They try to communicate with it. With the use of mage hand which the ghostly dog is able to take hold of, he spells out "Why, did you kill us?"
He seems mad and nothing useful comes out of this difficult conversation. The party leaves. But the ghostly dog follows
The party finds the Lake down a hill. They start walking towards it through the thickest forest they have seen. After a few minutes they walk up a mountain, not seeing the Lake anywhere. It seems to be behind them. They must have taken a wrong turn. They try and try again. Every time ending up where they came from.
Eventually Leaf uses detect magic to detect a flash of magic at some moment while they walk through this thick forest. And still they return to the same spot on the mountain. It appears to be some abjuration magic.
Moira summons his Owl familiar. That flies over high up. While he can cross the shore line of the water 1 km below. While he starts going down the owl starts flipping end over end... Moira while watching through it's familiar's vision gets dizzy and falls to the ground. Calling it's owl back and it falls to the ground to.
Connie starts practicing with the Winged Clown Boots. They are identified by JID.
They discuss what to do next as it frustrates them that for some reason they can't seem to get closer to the Lake.
Connie and Leaf know this is some powerful spherical magic repelling the party away from the Lake.
It might need something very specific to make it possible to enter the protected area. But what....
This is where we end the session
