Beware the Fellow Part 2

## Episode 39 - The FeyWild West

Seline and Talia enter the manor of Lord Longfellow and are lead into a large ballroom. Here, there's a party already in progress where are humanoids are dancing in finery, one woman is in a dress made out of storm clouds, another another woman's hair appears to be seaweed that moves as if it's underwater and her dress is made out of rippling water that cascades into a waterfall at the floor. There are spiders skittering about on four legs while the other two legs are being used to serve finger foods. Lord Longfellow takes a moment to announce Talia and Seline to his guests. Seline falls under the spell of the party and Longfellow leads her away to meet distinguished guests. Talia decides to look for the children while Longfellow is distracted. She finds some of them working in the kitchen scrubbing pots. Seline meets Haggarfell, King of the Rats as well as Lady Lynnworthy, Queen of the Northerly wind and others who are excited to meet her and enjoying the party. Talia finds more be spelled children. She's able to get one to say he's Jaron From Duskdown before he's compel to return to his task. Seline is speaking to Sir Cabberstein of the Wandering Wood when she starts to break free of the spell but returns to her conversation. Talia finds her and tells her the children of Duskdown have been pressed into service and spread about the house more than likely. They decide to see if they can locate the rest of the children. As they're moving about, Lord Longfellow ask if they're enjoying the party. Seline tries to say, "very much so" but instead says, "no, in fact I am very anxious." Talia tries to ask for the children back saying that: their parents want their return, they're working until they get hurt, and they don't really belong in the feywild. Longfellow counters their injuries are their own clumsiness and they accepted his invitation into the feywild as well as his hospitality until they broke it. He insists they stay for dinner and invokes their obligation is guests to attend. Seline realizes in horror that she can't lie. While moving about in a moment of clarity Seline sees not the spider woven manner but just the web that they're all walking around in. Many of the guests are coated in cobwebs and don't realize it as they move about. Both Seline and Talia also have webbing on them though not as much as the other guests and then the illusion of the manor returns. Seline catches sight of a child and follows to a sitting room where an old man is sleeping in a chair. He is wearing a suit made of roadways. They talk to the little girl who tells them most of the other children are asleep but awake. She says that the other children call her Red.

   Talia is able to leave Red some rations. Talia realizes that Red smells human but barely. Seline tries again to see beyond the illusion of the manor. She sees that bed is covered in webbing the most of that webbing is not attached to anything else. The man that sleeping in the chair is cocooned in webbing. Red says some of the other children that are awake hide in the garden the basement or some of the towers but staying together draws too much attention. She says they all broke hospitality. She herself ate the last piece of candy. Tiny was too short put the bed sheets on the top shelf and because he couldn't follow instructions broke hospitality. Red leads them to the garden.
