Location: Zadash
New Characters: 
Notable items/knowledge: You'll never believe this but they learn almost nothing.
Notes: 'Cobber' is a slur in Iowa. "Would you still love me if I had an IUD in my ass?"
The party returns to Pumat to deliver his stolen property. Champ licks a 'spicy' panel and doesn't get a splinter. Beni equips his armor and is safely tucked away in a purple pocket dimensional orb (Master Pokeball). Pumat hands out fresh oatmeal raisin cookies. Dircc feels like they're being watched - scryed upon? Everyone immediately dumps all 'evil stuff' in the Toad of Holding, but a WIS save is failed to stop the scry. It may have been the CA. With nothing to be done about that, everyone focuses on the next plan - rescuing Yussa, since they're technically responsible for his current situation.
Bea has been to Ungebroch before for a fancy party, but recon is still a safe bet, and they (probably) have time. "They'll make a chinese boy for you". Dircc uses Dream on King Bertrand and makes a Borse (bear horse) appear and goes into the dungeon, which is supposedly a good omen. Then everyone has dreams and tbh they're not great.
Dircc dreams by his whiskey tree of the young half orc girl with the Wrong voice and Wrong eyes - it looks like his sister but sounds like Rock. He is given a strong reminder that he needs to go to Westruun to kill the target Rock has demanded. Since he's dragging his feet (and the party has prioritized other things over this), Rock takes away Dircc's telepathy.
Gen dreams of her family home and a set of unbalanced scales - one scale contains a mound of dirt and a strange blue flower, the other is empty. No, the blue flower is not a bluebonnet. Gen investigates the scales and touches the empty scale, but immediately gets the sense that she's failed some sort of test. She receives a permanent -1 to nature and religion checks. The vision she had of her flourishing grove within the woods turns singed and ruined, an eye burnt into the grass.
Champ is sitting with Greg and the friends he's made on his travels - Jerky, Quincy, Birdie - but suddenly everyone starts choking and his vision turns red. A disembodied voice says 'the consequences of your actions are coming up soon, better watch out bud'. So that probably means something.
2E sees flashes of a skirmish, a cloaked figure holding a child, a shattered earth. She wakes up and hears the child whimpering and quickly feeds it a goodberry.
Bea gets a dream from Ring!Bernard, her best friend, who tells her that it can take away her ability to choose if she feels guilty about what it'll make her do. She will now have to pass a WIS saving throw to defy her Ring. Uh oh!
"You can either serve cunt or throw cervix."
After their auspicious night, the party heads downtown to the castle to scout things out. Everyone is in full party-prep mode. Dircc sends Roverrandom into the castle to scout ahead. Bea tries to go in, but 2E snatches her out of line, and Gen goes in instead. Gen pretends to shit herself and goes downstairs. "Why am I doing this??" "I don't know." The cleric is using thieves tools. Black powder sprays out of a poorly picked lock directly into her face, and she can't wash it off. Prestidigitation is not working either. "I don't want to be in blackface anymore".
Dircc hides Champ in a box labelled 'deliver to dungeon'. Jesus Christ. Champ dons his Chinese boy outfit. He is prestidigitation-ed clean. Somebody casts sending to Yussa and learns that Yussa is in a tower. Dircc turns into a raven for recon. Sami makes Sam pee from attempting a duck call. Raven!Dircc flies around and sees a corner office with keys on the wall in the North tower. Rescue mission prep...successful?
