Grandolpha Muzgardt

**Grandolpha Muzgardt** is a Duergar queen and leader of the Muzgardt Clan.

She was summoned to the Sunblight Fortress by King Xardorok Sunblight for the purpose of proposing a marital alliance, which neither she nor her advisor were interested in. Xardorok banished Grandolpha's aide and presented her with the gift of a draconic construct.

When the party of Falidus, Lucine, Armamore, Dharwyn, and Vellum unexpectedly arrived at the Fortress, Grandolpha made an alliance with them under the condition that they depose Xardorok, which they successfully did immediately before Xardorok's draconic superweapon was launched.

Extrication of the Bard

**The Extrication of the Bard** was a rescue operation conducted on 28 Cuersaar 839 PD by Siobhan Oldman and Mother Thava to extract Jean Goldcrest from the one of the layers of the hells.

The skirmish was witnessed by Jean's son Cash by way of a telepathic dream.

### Description

"You find yourself... standing outside on a street in the rain, a storm around you, and it's comforting. Uh, you look down– or, you look up, and you see in the clouds the face of a man: strong, powerful. The lightning bursts, and you can see him standing in the clouds... and a hand reaches out to you. ... As you take it, you feel yourself... detach. You feel some sort of movement, even though you're not moving at all, and you find yourself in this empty void of an area. In front of you, you see a– a ton of these shadowy creatures, all different shapes and sizes. You see them surrounding a pillar, and chained to this pillar is Jean, your father. You look over, and you see two female figures: you see Siobhan, and ... Thava. ... The two of them standing side-by-side. 'Well: took longer than I expected, but we finally found you.' Jean looks up: he is cut, he is bruised, but he's smiling. 'I figured you'd come. You think you can all still do this?' Thava's fists start to glow. 'I believe we can handle these few.' And you watch as these two warriors get into a battle like you've never seen. They punch, stab, and rip apart these shadowy beings. You're pretty sure you see them both smiling. At a few points you can see Siobhan teleporting in different spots. One moment, she's stabbing this one in the throat; the next moment, she's sixty feet away stabbing another one. And you see this green necklace around her throat, glowing as she's laughing: 'Ah! I missed this type of exercise!' Thava... her– her hand wraps glowing just as much: she goes and does a single punch to one of the enemies, and as she does, seven of them around her all burst: 'Mmm. It's a little tiresome to me.' The fight lasts barely minutes. Eventually, more and more shadows show up. Siobhan is suddenly next to Jean's side as she tears away at the chains, and starts realizing: she pulls out a lockpick and starts picking at the locks. One by one, they fall away as Thava holds off the shadows with effort, but none of them are able to touch her. They finally free Jean, and they pull out a tuning fork. 'Do you have the energy?' 'Yeah, I got it in me.' Thava goes over like a lightning bolt to the three of them; they all lock hands, and you hear Jean mutter a spell. As the shadows close in, the three of them... disappear."

Bough of the Timberlands

A **Bough of the Timberlands** is a magical staff.

## Mechanics

As a reskin of the Staff of the Woodlands, the bough can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff that grants a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. While holding it, the wielder has a +2 bonus to spell attack rolls.

The staff has 10 charges for the following properties. It regains 1d6+4 expended charges daily at dawn. If the last charge is expended, roll a d20; on a 1, the staff loses its properties and becomes a nonmagical quarterstaff.

### Spells

An action can be used to expend one or more of the bough's charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using the wielder's spell save DC:

* *Animal friendship* (1 charge)
* *Awaken* (5 charges)
* *Barkskin* (2 charges)
* *Locate animals or plants* (2 charges)
* *Speak with animals* (1 charge)
* *Speak with plants* (3 charges)
* *Wall of thorns* (6 charges)

The wielder can also use an action to cast the *pass without trace* spell from the staff without using any charges.

***Tree Form**. The wielder can use an action to plant one end of the bough in fertile earth and expend one charge to transform the bough into a healthy tree. The tree is 60 feet tall and has a 5-foot diameter trunk, and its branches at the top spread out in a 20-foot radius. The tree appears ordinary but radiates a faint aura of transmutation magic if targeted by a* detect magic *spell. While touching the tree and using another action to speak its command word, the wielder returns the bough to its normal form. Any creature in the tree falls when it reverts to a bough.*

Dwarven Valley Skirmish

The **Dwarven Valley Skirmish** took place in a ravine to the southwest of Kelvin's Cairn in Ten Towns.

As the party of Lucine, Armamore, Dharwyn, and Falidus entered the chokepoint of the Dwarven Valley, two javelins streaked down toward them from the ledges on both sides of the ravine ahead of them: one struck Lucine in the back of the leg, while the other missed. The party quickly spotted five kobolds stationed above them, and in an instant, Falidus threw back his cloak and generated a dark purple psionic dagger, flinging it with unnatural speed at one of the kobolds, hitting it directly in the center of the throat; the kobold tumbled over the ledge, dead on the ground, as Falidus darted to the opposite wall of the ravine, flattening against the snow to hide immediately below another kobold.

The remaining kobolds attacked with javelins, missing all four throws despite their vantage, after which Armamore cast *Guiding Bolt*, obliterating the kobold next to the one above Falidus. Dharwyn then attempted to cast *Sacred Flame* at the kobold that attacked Lucine, but it dexterously dodged the attack, and Lucine cast *Shatter* on both the kobold that struck her and the one above Falidus, and despite resisting some of the effects of the spell, they were both heavily injured; Lucine picked up the javelin that struck her and approached the kobold that hit her with it.

Falidus then kicked off the wall of the ravine and initiated a sneak attack on the kobold above him, flinging a psionic dagger at it that sliced into its throat from the bottom, killing it; he then flung a second psionic dagger at the kobold on the ledge at the opposite side of the ravine, heavily injuring it before it hurled a javelin at Dharwyn, missing him. The kobold that struck Lucine threw a javelin at Armamore and missed him as well, after which Armamore cast Poison Spray at the kobold above Dharwyn, killing it with a burst of toxins; the kobold that attacked Lucine attempted to flee, and Dharwyn picked up a javelin from the ground, throwing it and missing.

He then stepped up beside Lucine, patting her on the back three times to restore her to full health before pointing at the back of the fleeing kobold and casting *Toll the Dead*; the low tone of a bell rang out across the ravine and the kobold’s head promptly exploded. Denied the opportunity to kill any of their attackers, Lucine approached the kobold who had tumbled into the ravine and quickly decapitated it, setting its head on the top of a javelin that she speared into the ground and using one of its own claws to scratch “LUCINE WAS HERE" into its scales; Falidus rigged one of the kobolds’ javelins into Boy’s harness, and Dharwyn collected up the seven remaining javelins before the party continued onward.

## Damage Totals

 Falidus | 0
 Dharwyn | 0
 Lucine | 3

Fortress of Sunblight

"**Fortress of Sunblight**" is the fifth episode of *Queen of Cold and Frost*, played on airing on August 3rd, 2022.

The session was DMed by Adonvel and hosted on his server on Discord.

## Summary

*...continued from session four*
The party pushes through a heavy snowfall as they continue into the mountains, finding their way to the base of the Sublight Fortress in the peaks of the Spine of the World. Falidus discovers a narrow staircase, and the group cautiously ascends to a massive set of double doors; Falidus tries and fails to pick the lock, after which Armamore casts *Thaumaturgy* to cover the sound of the *Knock* spell that Vellum uses to unlock the doors. The entrance opens to reveal a portcullis that soon opens on its own; Vellum casts *Aid* on the party, and they proceed into a small antechamber.

A watchguard quickly spots them and alerts his fellow soldiers, after which he is eliminated just as quickly by Falidus; Dharwyn then moves into an adjacent hallway followed by Lucine and Vellum, and the three are attacked by a platoon of eight Duergar who had previously been invisible, with Vellum being nearly knocked unconscious. Dharwyn successfully *Command*s one Duergar to surrender, and Vellum casts *Faerie Fire* to put the Duergar at disadvantage, after which Armamore confirms that the soldiers serve Xardorok Sunblight and Dharwyn heals Vellum, who successfully puts another Duergar to *Sleep*.

As the party battles against the platoon, Dharwyn *Misty Step*s to the far side of the platoon to flank them and channels divinity, unleashing his *Dreadful Aspect* to terrify the remaining Duergar into retreating, enabling the group to eliminate several of them as they attempt to flee. When only the soldier that Dharwyn had commanded to surrender remains alive, the Oathbreaker makes an impossibly persuasive proposition: to betray his King and aid the party in order to save his own life.

*continued in session six...*

Desmund Flemming/Progression

**Desmund Flemming** has progressed through the following levels:

#### Rage

Beginning at 1st level, you fight with primal ferocity. On your turn, you can enter a rage as a bonus action. While raging, you gain the following benefits if you aren't wearing heavy armor:

* You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws
* When you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, you gain a bonus to the damage roll that increases as you gain levels as a Barbarian, as shown in the Rage Damage table.
* You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

If you are able to cast spells, you can't cast them or concentrate on them while raging.

Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven't attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your rage on your turn as a bonus action. Once you have raged the numbers of times shown for your Barbarian level in the Rages column of the Barbarian table, you must finish a long rest before you can rage again.

#### Unarmored Defense

While you are not wearing any armor, your armor class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

### Level 2: Barbarian 2

#### Reckless Attack

Beginning at 2nd level, you can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with fierce desperation. When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength during this turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.

#### Danger Sense

You also gain an uncanny sense of when things nearby aren't as they should be, giving you an edge when you dodge away from danger. You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, you can't be blinded, defeated, or incapacitated.

### Level 3: Barbarian 3

#### Primal Path of the Storm Herald

Beginning at 3rd level, you emanate a stormy, magical aura while you rage. The aura extends 10 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover. Your aura has an effect that activates when you enter your rage, and you can activate the effect again on each of your turns as a bonus action.

**Sea**. When this effect is activated, you can choose one other creature you can see in your aura. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw; taking 1d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.
Ertgard

**Ertgard** was a frost giant who was the last surviving member of Queen Vassavicken's clan, and a guard of the fortress of Grimskalle on the Island of Solstice.

He was defeated by the party of Lucine, Armamore, Addison Snowreaper, and Dharwyn Starsgard, and later immortalized by Lucine in *The Song of Ertgard the Mighty*.
Gneaux Fastclaw

**Gneaux Fastclaw** is a Gnoll Cleric, the brother of Ghenek, Graughm, and Graeth Fastclaw, the mate of Arshad Thunderfell, the father of Aeshur, Alvard, Arther, Aegnis, and Shaard Thunderclaw, and a former slave of Nethjet in the mageocracy of Thay.

Gneaux eventually escaped his enslavement and made his way to the city of Furthinghome in Aglarond, where he encountered the Shadar-Kai Ghaspard Lebeau and the Changeling Shayne Feywilder. With their help, he managed to rescue his family from Nethjet, and the group became involved in the opposition to the slave trade in Thay, working to free hundreds of captives who eventually banded together to retake the city of Nethjet.
Danoth's Visor

**Danoth's Visor** is one of the Vestiges of Divergence.

These mithral-frame goggles with clear diamond lenses were used by the evoker Danoth Oro to spot invisible enemies and scout areas from afar.

It was formerly in the possession of the Tabaxi Ranger Sound of Bells, who gave it to her daughter Fresh Prints on 2 Duscar 839 PD.

## Properties

### Dormant State

* The wearer can see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, to a distance of 60 feet.
* The wearer has advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) and Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

### Awakened State

* The wearer sees invisible creatures and objects within 60 feet as if they were visible, and they can see into the Ethereal Plane.
* Using a bonus action, the wearer can speak a command word and use the goggles to see into and through solid matter. This vision has a radius of 60 feet and lasts for 1 minute. The vision can penetrate 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, or up to 3 feet of wood or dirt. Thicker substances block the vision, as does a thin sheet of lead. This property can't be used again until the next dawn.
* As a bonus action, the wearer can speak a command word to switch the goggles into spyglass mode. While in this mode, creatures and objects viewed through the goggles are magnified to twice their size.

### Exalted State

* The wearer automatically detects illusions they can see and automatically succeeds on saving throws against them. In addition, they see a bright aura around any creature that isn't in its true form.
* As an action, the wearer can cast the *antimagic field* spell from the visor. This property can't be used again until the next dawn.

From Beyond the Void/Session notes

The following are **notes for "From Beyond the Void"**.

### In Round 3

* Siobhan cast *Misty Step* to teleport across the room, rematerializing three feet off the floor and landing one foot on Orison's shoulder, one foot on his opposite knee as she drove her rapier into the man's chest and through his heart.

* As the radiant light fades from his eyes, Orison attempts to cast *Time Stop* and thinks out to Shiloh: "I know what it is to feel small, and weak, and alone. But you are none of those things, and you have nothing to prove to anyone."
* When Siobhan twists the rapier in Orison's heart, the crystal radiating silver light from his ring will shatter, dispelling the *Globe of Invulnerability* around the beacon, which enters the Initiative order on count 22a. As it does, the seam in space will crackle as a streak of lightning arcs out across the room and strikes Orison, skittering up the blade of the rapier to Siobhan's arm. Roll an attack; on a hit, Siobhan takes 1d8+4 piercing damage and makes a DC 15 Charisma saving throw. On a fail, she falls unconscious as she is blasted backwards across the table, and the lightning materializes into the form of the Neinseil, which then acts on Initiative count 22b.

Erathis

**Erathis, the Law Bearer** is the inspiration behind many great inventions, the creation of vast cities, and law and order within society, and claims dominion over civilization. Judges and rules pay respect at her temples, which are central structures in many cities across Exandria. Peace and order through structure and law guides the will of her devout followers. The Law Bearer has a tempestuous romance with Melora the Wild Mother, a furious love that is tempered only when civilization and nature are balance.

Erathis resides within the glorious divine metropolis of Hestavar, the Bright City. This glowing oasis coasts through the Astral Plane, as the Law Bearer watches over the denizens bathed in the endless daytime that illuminates the busy streets.

***Depiction***. Erathis is shown in most texts and statues as a hooded, armored woman sitting atop a throne of pillars. Her face is generally obscured or depicted without expression, giving her presence an impartial yet imposing nature.

***Holy Day***. The Law Bearer's holy day is Civilization's Dawn, which is celebrated on the autumnal equinox, usually the twenty-second day of the ninth month. In the Dwendalian Empire, people celebrate by having feasts in honor of the laws of the Dwendal bloodline. One seat at every table is left open for the king, who eats in spirit with the people he rules.

### Commandments of Erathis

* Utilize the company and aid of others. The efforts of the individual often pale against the capabilities of the community.
* Strive to tame the wilds in the name of civilization, and defend the points of light and order against the chaos of darkness.
* Uphold and revere the spirit of invention. Create new settlements, build where inspiration strikes, and expand the edicts of the Law Bearer.

From Barovia With Love session 16/Session notes

The following are **notes for "From Barovia With Love session 16"**.

## Pregame

* *If Shayne's patron says that Shayne doesn't trust him:* "I see you still expect me to trust you when you still won't even tell me your name."

"Vive's goddess told us that you are not to be trusted; that you are a duplicitous liar who will say literally *anything* to get what you want."

"Trust...is a funny thing. See: one thing you seem to have forgotten about me is that I don't trust my friends any more than I trust my enemies. I have friends that have tried to murder me, and enemies who have never harmed me. Now: I absolutely believe that you were going to help us, and if you had asked me to do that to *anyone* else in that situation, I would have done so without question. But doing that to Lilly, in that moment, even to bring her back to life, could easily have cost me Vive's trust, and that is a risk that I am *not* willing to take. That diamond was not the price of Lilly's life; it was the price of my friends' trust in me, and right now, out there, to accomplish what you brought us here to accomplish, their trust in me is infinitely more valuable than my trust in you.

You help us because it serves *your* interests to do so."
Endless

**Endless** is one of a number of psychopomps that works for the various gods of death.

On 16 Cuersaar 839 PD, the Reaper was sent to collect the soul of the deceased Kenku Trouble, but was offered a deal by the Tabaxi Sorcerer Fresh Prints, and instead resurrected the Druid (albeit in the body of a Halfling) on the condition that the Sorcerer eventually take his place as a Reaper.

He later appeared to Prints at The Crow's Nest on the 17th of Cuersaar and again at a campsite along the Glory Run Road on the 20th of Cuersaar. He was only visible to Prints until the Tabaxi's party member used Psychic Whispers to look into the Sorcerer's thoughts and see him as well, attempting unsuccessfully to psionically communicate with him.

On the 23rd of Cuersaar, he appeared to Prints in a dream, indicating that her first trial would begin soon, though she would not have to face it alone; two days later, he appeared to her at the Adventurers Guildhall in Zadash, directing Prints to a flyer offering a 15,000 gold reward for the head of a dragon lairing in the Labenda Swamp northeast of the city.

On the 26th of Cuersaar, he appeared to Prints as her party approached a farmhouse on the road south of Berleben, instructing her to help an injured man accept his death and pass into the afterlife. Two days later, he appeared to the Sorcerer again in the lair of the ebony dragon Umbrah within the Labenda Swamp, instructing her to secure a bead of pure darkness that had been released during the battle; when Prints initially failed to prevent the darkness from infecting Trouble, Endless enabled her to successfully remove the darkness from the Druid in time. Later that evening, Endless appeared again to the entire team as they camped in the Swamp, revealing that Kahlan's father's dagger was an ancient artefact that predates the Cataclysm, and that Trouble's father is still alive.

On the evening of the 29th of Cuersaar, he appeared to Prints again as the team returned to the farmhouse south of Berleben to find the owner murdered, watching as the Tabaxi successfully removed a dark infection from the man's soul to allow him to pass into the afterlife.

From Barovia With Love session 12/Session notes

The following are **notes for "From Barovia With Love session 12"**.

## Pregame

* "They're quite the ridiculous assemblage of misfits, are they not? But, you see, they are also all the family I have left, and they have already had so much taken from them, that I would take it very personally if some newcomer were to show up and take even more from them, living or dead."
* "The day we met, you were rummaging through the pockets of my friend's corpse at her wake, less than an hour after I'd tried to trade my own soul for hers, and the very next day, you threatened me with a weapon that nearly killed me for the second time in two days. So, no: I do not like you, Semyaza Chaos, but I will tolerate your presence because you have proven yourself useful in helping me to keep my family alive. But if you do decide you want to go a couple of rounds, you just let me know, and you hold onto that sword: you seem to need it a great deal more than I do."

## Transcript

"The ninth session of the Wildemount campaign known as *Mountain of Mystery* is officially upon us, airing tonight at 9:00PM Eastern Time, 8:00 Central, and I will be streaming my side of that session here in order to direct viewers over to TanisJr93's channel on The Purple App. After being rescued from the horde of shadowy creatures calling themselves The Searchers by the timely appearance of our Tabaxi's Mother, we learned that she had been part of the team that had once defeated the multiversal monstrosity along with Prints's father as well as Jean Goldcrest. Out Goliath Monk parted ways with the group the next morning, traveling north to continue his training with Grandmaster Qhore as the party continued eastward toward Nogvurot, defeating a ravenous pair of Manticore before making camp for the evening. Our Sorcerer once again spotted the disturbing figure from the tavern that only she could see, and she alerted our Rogue, who used his Psychic Whispers to look into her mind and see the entity, which he then attempted to psionically communicate with. Falling immediately unconscious, the Aasimar found himself at a bureaucratic waypoint before life and death, where he was confronted by a figure from own past before waking again to find our Tabaxi still catatonic..."
