Notes

We start at Little Oak.
The plan. If it is one for real. To go to Loomlurch and distract Skabatha Nightshade while Will sneaks in through the kitchen. Will is asked to grab all the paintings with him and prioritize the painting of a frog.

The party is also showed Squirt. He knows the way the Yon he says. The Unicorn Horn is left behind at Little Oak together with Squirt and the party traves with the Getaway Gang towards Loomlurch.

Here the disguise JID as Will and act like he is tied up in front of the bridge. Will, Bobi, Sloane and Zennor head into the trees and ask for a signal after 15 minutes when the hag is distracted.

Connie and Hasur knock on the door of the parlor. A small child opens. They ask if they can speak to Skabatha. She says yes and closes the door. But nothing happens for a periode of time. So they knock again. A little bit older boy opens. He is willing to grab Skabatha Nightshade for them. But uses the rule of reciprocity to get something in return. He is given a hand full of sour berries the party found in 008_20240822. He agrees and goes to fetch Skabatha.

After a few minutes Skabatha shows up and is asked for tea so they can discuss the details about the reward for trading Will. Skabatha sets tea and they sit down.

With the intent to waste as much time as possible a conversation takes place. Asking what the details are of the rewards on the Wanted Posters. Skabatha says they are pretty clean. Eventually Connie and Hasur get into a little bit of an acted scuffle. As they do not agree on what reward the should get. Skabatha sits back and enjoys the fight. Eventually she stands up an walks towards Leaf who is standing near the disguised JID. And asks to Leaf what she wants for giving her Will.

Skabatha addresses JID, but he doesn't want to speak to give away he is not actually Will. Eventually Skabatha has enough of all of it and reaches towards JID. He melts into stone and a fight breaks out. The party seems to have the upper hand. Though Skabatha suddenly disappears while she was looking to be hurt quite a lot.

The party decides to rush into Loomlurch to try and find Skabatha to finish her of and to get the paintings. Just before entering the workshop they here voices sound an alarm. And drumming echoes from further up the three. The alarm seems to emanate from 5 scarecrows that are standing in the garden. When they open the door behind the workshop the bump into Will of the Feywild throwing dozens of paintings on the floor. He starts looking throw the peaces of paper for the one he found of the frog. He holds up a small drawing of a bullywug king that looks like one of the heads the party has seen spiked on a pole at Downfall. Osros is furious he didn't take the correct painting.

Will asks where Skabatha is. And after hearing she disappeared he says he doesn't have any time. And continues his search through Loomlurch for other children.

The party finally finds the circle room with the 5 paintings. But 4 of them are empty. Only one of them is showing a figure they do not recognize. The painting resembles a clocked figure of blue skin.

Who ever this might be, he must have touched the brabbles. Leaf catapults one of the paintings from it's frame. JID uses investigation to learn that the paintings and brambles are magically bound together. Anyone who is cut by one of the brambles will magically change the paintings to his or her alive family. The one in the picture must be an orphan is the conclusion that is made.

The party decides to remove all the paintings using magic so they do not touch any of the brambles.

They continue into the kitchen. Which is al searched through. And where a trapdoor in the floor reveals a small hole that is probably used as a prison by Skabatha. But that is also empty now.

Behind the room with the painting the party finds a study and a stair leading them to a bedroom. The bedroom seems oddly neat. To neat to have been lived in. There is a doll house that pulls the attention of the party. As this doll house seems old and moldy.

The doll house seems to be protected in some way by magic and is unharmed when Hasur tries to bash it with his warhammer. The magic is dispelled by Connie and after it being hit again by Hasur the roof of the doll house comes off. Out if it falls a Wand of Suggestion that Leaf is pulled towards. She feels a strong connection to it for some unknown way.

The party decides to smash the doll house in pieces. More items fall from it. But non speak to the characters like the Wand of Suggestion. The party decides to get our of Loomlurch.
Osros takes the oversized Jack-in-a-Box that is in the kitchen. And they all leave. They meet up at the bridge in front of Loomlurch where they see a bunch of chidren together with the Getaway Gang and a adult dwarf.

This is where we ended the session
