Saralas: Session 42

7 Elesias

• We're in Lonelywood as Level 7 us. Min is back to us.
• Min has never heard of Pearl.
• It is 7 Elesias 1492. That is two months ago.
• We have our memories of what has happened. Min does not remember any of this, apparently this is her first time.
• Baerwin is here too, we haven't seen him in months.
• Did we find another cube.
• We are as we were before this strange happening.
• So Resda and Karthos are still mushroomed. But at least it's cold here.
• Korag pulls out his Min ashes
• Is this permanent? Did we find the Delorean or is this some kind of temporary thing.
• We have the other Bun but Pearl had it.
• Karthos shares all of Min's stuff with her.
• Bun apparently thinks we are telling the truth. Bun nods.
• There's a big conversation on what we should do, including convincing Baerwin and Min of our story.
• We suggest talking with Nimsy since we'll need a place to stay and we no longer own the inn.
• I fill in Min on everything we know about Pearl. She does *not* know Pearl.
• Nimsy offers us cookies and seems pleased to meet us.
• He mentions the issue with the White Moose and if we could help us out with it
• I say we may be willing to help, what is the town able to offer.
• Nimy offers 100 gold and the deed to the inn.
• How do we kill it? Bring its head.
• We head up to the attic to rest.
• We rest the night and awaken rested.
• Karthos and Resda feel a little better, but still not great.
• We go downstairs. Nimsy is happy to see us and happy someone may deal with the moose problem because logging is their only real source of income in this winter and right now they don't have any money coming in.
• He is not particularly receptive to sustainable logging initiatives.
• Nimsy doesn't know what climate change is. Most likely, he thinks, it is Auril.
• We think we could go deal with Ravasin, or we could go up to the Black Cabin to see if Macradeus is still alive.
• We head to the Elven Tomb. Saralas has been there before and so he can't be lost. We wait for the moose to leave, go in and kill Ravasin. The moose comes back and can't be reasoned with. Dispell magic does nothing.
• I tell Karthos he'd better make up his mind quickly and reach for my bow.
• We kill the moose.
• We decide to rescue Sahas. He is quite friendly.
• We also meet Kate Bush, and learn the same story as before.
• Saralas once again declines to take the bow, on Sahas' thought that after 1000 years in a box he wouldn't want to be deprived of any of his posessions.
• Karthos attunes to the mirror and finds the Drow in the underdark, being addressed by a woman in the Drow language along with other soldiers. I try to see if it looks like he's gone back in time
• Min casts comprehend languages and listens in, relaying this conversation to us. It is a priestess ordering their people to make the long trek to kill Sunblight to redress the great insult done to their people.
• Korag and Karthos suggest resting here, checking on Macadaeus in the morning.
• The spell doesn't even work, nothing happens and the mirror is still charged. We look in on Sunblight. He is in the underdark, meeting with a dark hooded figure who we cannot see clearly through the mirror. They are speaking in Undercommon. The figure tells him that the Drow will attack in 3.5 weeks time. The figure passes him some papers and receives a bag of gold as reward.
• We also discuss how we might address the magic artifact at the Black Cabin. Saralas is OK with going straight there, everyone else tells him it's stupid and we should go find Copper and convince her to come.
• Nimsy is delighted. We explain the mummy, get the deed to the inn.
• We head to Termalaine and buy sled dogs. We see Hoot around.
• We head towards Bryn Shander to search for Copper in the House of the Morning Lord.
• She is a gnome acolyte of Lathander and is happy to see adventurers.
• She asks if we can go look for her friend who is trying to make this magical weather machine.
• She is very skeptical of our story and begins immediately packing to leave the 10 towns. We take some time to try to explain everything that happens, including receiving the blessing of Lathander, and result of the machine activating. We explain meeting Macadeus and learning from him, and the two rings.
• Eventually she is convinced to make the third ring, but she is unwilling to travel to the site. She asks us to return in 2 days' time.
