Episode 96

== Summary ==
The fight to stave off the Abyssal madness comes to its tipping point. The party fights off the hideous spawn of the River Styx to gather the flowers that grow along its bank - a key component in making a potion that helps an individual from madness. Afterwards, after finding a treehouse for shelter, everyone struggles to keep their minds intact. Olivia in particular is affected, and Vahlka is rightfully concerned.
== Recap ==
* We spend the vast majority of the session fighting the Styx spawn. There's some shaky moments for Vahl and Deek gets knocked out like three times in a row, but through some cunning use of Wall of Fire and Thresh being a tanky beast we pull through and manage to gather a whole bunch of the flowers Lucius needs to make the madness resistance potions.
* We spot Lolth again, passing by overhead and lingering over us for a moment. We spend several hours searching for some ruins Calliope believes are nearby. 
* We spot a tree-house that has been abandoned and decide to hole up there for the evening. Godfrey tricks Lucius into wearing Godfrey Jr. for a bit because we don't know how rules work.
* Vahlka, Lucius, Olivia, and Calliope all fail a madness save. Vahlka and Calliope both wake up trembling. Olivia is having a very rough time and begins acting irreverently hopeless - seemingly able to take nothing seriously and laughing brokenly. Lucius is frightened of going out doors and aggressively gets in Olly's face about it. Vahlka casts lesser restoration on Lucius, who settles down and immediately starts making the potions. 
* Deacon lesser restorations both Calliope and Vahlka's madness effect away. 
* Vahlka insists she take a greater restoration potion, but Olivia refuses so Vahlka has to wrestle her and force feed her a potion.
*Barkley and Lucius manage to make six potions over the course of three hours. Olivia and Vahlka both drink theirs immediately.
*Vahlka and Olivia have a heavy discussion about spending their resources on Olivia, who feel it isn't worth it to do so. After a bit of conversation Vahlka manages to at least settle down Olly a little bit. Vahlka climbs back into the the treehouse and bangs her head on the wall. Olivia bangs her head on Thresh.
*Vahlka talks to the party for a bit. Expressing that she's concerned Olivia is not doing well, and that the insistence that we not waste our resources on her is a sign of a deeper problem. We communally agree to keep an eye on her.
