Notes

We start again in Loomlurch in the market.
The party discusses their next course of action. Things that come up

1. Infiltrate Loomlurch
2. Kill Skabatha
3. Get or find Will of the Feywild

They decide to head to Little Oak

They find a centaur named Winterbow in the corrupt forest land. He tells the party to get out of Prismeer as soon as possible. He also tells the party Wayward Pool is a safe place and is guarded by a Unicorn.
The party asks about the Alicorn. He tells them he cannot tell them as it's very bad to speak about it and he is not sure he can trust the party with that. The party is told a unicorn at the lake. JID is able to tell that unicorns are a myth or legend in the material plane but if they exist the are very high pure magic beings.

Osros insults him saying she is going to tell everyone he is dating the unicorn. He leaves.

Connie eats a hand full of the candy from Sack of Candy. He is poisoned for 1 hour due to a sugar rush. But JID manages to remove that easily.
When they re-enter the forest Connie is swarmed by fireflies out of nowhere

They find Little Oak and are asked what they are doing here by a voice.
Eventually they find out this is Will of the Feywild speaking to them. After proving their trust he invites them up into Little Oak.

Will of the Feywild shares his plan how to get the children out of Loomlurch. The party and Will of the Feywild discuss for a while how to challenge this. This takes a while and many ideas are put up for discussion.

Bobi presses on Will of the Feywild to tell the party what they have stolen. He seems afraid to really speak out. Will of the Feywild gives in and tells the party he stole a Unicorn Horn. And that he previously spoke to the unicorn at the Wayward Pool. But that he is a waste of time.

Will and Bobi also tells the party:

• A squad of tin soldiers defends Loomlurch, but they’re easily lured away by distractions. They seem to be programmed to act in a certain way. And they seem to be move on the sound of a drum.
• Granny Nightshade imprisons her most hated enemies in a cell inside her kitchen.

The party asks how they can enter Wayward Pool. Will says it's easy and points to a bunch of dirty looking clothing in the corner. Connie checks it out and it appears to be a 2 person unicorn suit.
Will explains that just looking like a unicorn will let you in. Just holding a wooden stick to your head is even enough.

They party discussed the next course of action
They have 3 possible plans:

1. Speak to the unicorn
2. Follow Will of the Feywild's plan
3. Executing our own plan to murder Skabatha

They go to Wayward Pool. There to cross the water and light a fire in the iron fire pit. Smoke gathers towards the shoreline of the lake. From it a white unicorn appears with a golden horn and golden hair. Her name is Lamorna. She tells the party he mate has been captured by the Hourglass Coven. She feels Elidon (her mate) is still alive.

The party asks if she is willing to help finding an freeing Elidon. But as there is great risk for her she is not willing to do so. She deems herself save here at Wayward Pool.

Lamorna tells the party the following information:

• The domain of Prismeer once belonged to the archfey Zybilna, but was usurped by her cruel hag stepsisters: Skabatha Nightshade, Bavlorna Blightstraw, and Endelyn Moongrave.
• Zybilna was vainglorious and deceitful at times, but her magic kept Prismeer safe and isolated. That situation ended when the hags of the Hourglass Coven captured Lamorna’s mate, Elidon
• Zybilna lives in her stronghold, the Palace of Heart's Desire
• When Zybilna ruled Prismeer, no one could enter her Palace without an invitation. It’s unlikely that the Hourglass Coven is capable of enforcing similar restrictions on the Palace.
• A library on the second floor of the Palace contains Zybilna’s most treasured tomes
• A dragon-like creature called a jabberwock lives in Zybilna’s palace and frequently prowls the forest. The jabberwock tries to reach Wayward Pool but is always turned away by the lake’s protective magic. Lamorna emphasizes that the characters would be wise to avoid the jabberwock, for once it sets its fiery eyes on prey, it rarely gives up the hunt.

In the mean time of all this information they get attacked by Zarak. He wanted to take the horn and was able to walk into the magic area after copying the party putting a stick to their head. He didn't expect the unicorn to teleport away.

After the unicorn is gone he gives up. They control him and remove his weapon. The unicorn returns. They decide to keep Zarak captured under the magical control of the unicorn.
Zarak tells everything he knows.

• They were tasked to help in a fight. In the middle of the fight in the Palace of Heart's Desire everything stopped suddenly
• He is part of a faction called the League of Malevolence
• He was tasked by getting the Unicorn Horn from Lamorna for the Hourglass Coven

Zarak is then bound and magically kept at Wayward Pool.

JID tries to get a reading from his god on the plan of teleporting to Loomlurch and killing Skabatha
He gets a "Good and Bad" feeling.

Lamorna shows a depiction of her mate Elidon
And asks the party to look out for him.

QUEST: Find Elidon

He also shows a depiction of what a Jabberwock looks like. So the party knows what to look out for.

The party returns to Little Oak. Discuss with Will what they have learned and what they like to do.
Will tells the party he is willing to part with the Unicorn Horn if the party helps them freeing all the children.

QUEST: Free the children at Loomlurch

Before the party goes towards Loomlurch they like to be rested and have a Long Rest

This is where we ended the session
