WoDaD Session 21

== Title ==
Shadows of Thor Aru
== Recap ==
The party prepares to leave Zendarru. Maria asks Bran about an instrument she remembers hearing in her childhood, one she's always wanted to hear again and even learn to play. He recognizes the instrument as one of a potential few and offers to help teach her once they find one. 
Later, at the gates of the city, Nandy is somewhat forced to give the party some money as a thanks for saving them all. As they leave, the party reappears in that deeply-magical blue space, the same broken voice offering to help where it can with their new plan. They ignore this. After a bit of traveling, they reach the point where they need to cross the Temisray River. They find it bubbling with no current, but it doesn't seem to be dangerous - just another magical quirk of the land. After way too much fearful debate, they finally cross the river just before its current picks up heading in a different direction than last time they saw it. 
At nightfall, Qiro uses Azural Magic to make a nice dinner for the group. It's... okay. Anyways, Bran forms a hut and leaves most of the animals outside it for the night. Neither Yorsog nor Qiro notice the horses untying their reins, nor do they notice Abra zooming out of the hut. Suddenly, they're ambushed by a squadron of druids. Only Maria understands them as they call the party enslavers of creatures of the earth and destroyers of nature, but when Amros notices the Daybreak badge they stole from Bran's bag, Maria manages to talk them down and explain via nature metaphors what their deal is. The animals (taken by the druids) come back to the party and everyone rests.
In the morning, Qiro gets a new ghosty friend named Ghoo. They make it to the Thor Aru fort, finding nature to be resisting the place. As they enter, Bran begs for civility and does not receive it. The bullied secretary mentions that Corodun Hold has been taken over. They steal some bad artifacts and prepare to teleport to Corodun.
