Episode 22: March 31

* Learned about Pimpernilly, an herb that can be made into tea or medicine that's popular in the Prime Material
* Got girls to run away via the window
* They followed when Rondolphe sent guards, who they defeated and stabilized
* Vander died (and revived) twice
* Now they're on the run in the woods outside of the castle
* Princesses are ahead by ~10 minutes, but are heading to Agnes'
* Plan is get to the Inn

### Details

* Rondolphe understands the gist of what is to be done, though not the details. He will insist on departing in a way that maintains the relationship and that the princess stays behind. It is his main goal.
* Yves is loyal to Phenian; he likes the girls and doesn't want them harmed, but he knows they'll be safe in the Feywild. For him, it is worth the sacrifice in order to stay in the good graces of Phenian. The consequences of not doing so would destroy his life.
* If things go badly, Rondolphe will call guards and say there was an assassination attempt.

* Phenian Nighstone's Plan
	+ Nightstone is going to goad the copper dragon that lives in the mountains to attack; he will ensure that the Queen's army does terribly, then his son will enter with those items and the army from the Lich king and win.
	+ Items the group found in the workshop, intended to be sold by Skabatha to the Fey, then traded to Phenian:
		- Tunic with Protection (https://criticalrole.fandom.com/wiki/Scroll\_of\_Protection)
		- Cloak with Protection from Energy (https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Protection%20from%20Energy#content)
		- Belt of Stout Strength (essentially belt of Dwarvenkind minus dwarf bonus) (https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Belt%20of%20Dwarvenkind#content)
		- Circlet of Sight (circlet that gives +2 wisdom)
	+ This will make him look good before the election of cabinet members, hoping to get his son in that position and him in the ruler position once the princess is taken care of.
* Re: Vander
	+ Wild magic alternative table
	+ A sorcerer’s magic wants to be wielded, and it has a tendency to spill out in unpredictable ways if it isn’t called on.

#### Escape

* Recap their plan as it was
* Note: "Hey guys, we just wanted to get away, but you attacked us. Please give this to Corrag: Respectable princess, you seemed confused by some of our questions; i think that's evidence that we did not have all of the information and there's some tomfoolery afoot; would love to deal with you and only members of the court proper with this matter; trying to protect friends first.
* Roll for stealth; lowest score sets the survival check: **5**
	+ 1-10 = DC 18
	+ 11-15 = DC 15
	+ 16+ = DC 12
* Roll for survival; highest score covers for everyone; if they fail, they all take one point of exhaustion
* *Met their survival check, took a long rest in a tree.*
* *Plan to head to Tsu's, then to Agnes'.*
* *Jake realized they all have 3 advantages on CHA checks in the Fey*
* *Bev fashioned a very good mustache for Osborne as a disguise.*
* *Decided Bev will go in invisible*

### Bitterbeard

* High/low even/odd
	+ H/L
		- he shows up
			* + no fallout
			* - his voice is so loud that they are quickly found
		- he doesn't
			* + no fallout
			* - they've made such a racket that they attract an Owlbear

#### Auntie Agnes

* Safe zone
* Girls are waiting here (?)

#### Tsu's Inn

* Calling her
	+ Depending on the circumstances, we may need a h/l e/o
	+ E.g., she comes quickly/slowly, attracts attention, guards immediately seize it
* Arriving safely
	+ Tsu welcomes them and is troubled to hear about everything that has come to pass
	+ Willing to give Bev's name back, but only in trade/payment
* *Osborne negotiated with Tsu for Bev's name; B met Tsu downstairs, had a good chat, Bev gave her a page of her dream journal. T let her know about Bytopia and Ilmatar*.
* *Osborne gave a song and a drink recipe to Tsu as a gift/repayment; V & Bel gave goblin candies.*

#### Arrest

* Whether in battle or in Tsu's, there are 4 knights and 4 mages.
* If in Tsu's, they are disguised as guests. If she has interacted with the group in the bar, then she will also be arrested, though sent to a Fey jail.
* Once subdued, they are stabilized if needed. They are disrobed and all of their belongings are placed in lead boxes. They're given heavy, lead-lined tunics and rough linen pants. Lead handcuffs and collars are placed on them along with metal ankle cuffs and chains connecting ankle to ankle, wrist to wrist, and the two together so that their hands may not lift above their head.
* They are placed in the back of a barred wagon and taken to a portal east of Lanark.

#### Crossover to the Prime

* The wagon heads into the middle of the lake, but as the water gets deeper and finally goes over them, they feel a flip, as though they've turned a tight corner into the earth, then come out of a pond on the Prime.
* Roll for the amount of time passed.
	+ Agree with group how long they've been in the Feywild (I think 14 days)
	+ DM's Guide pg 50

#### Jail

* They do not travel far in the Prime before they arrive at a squat, brick building.
* Assigned cells.

#### Questioning

* Osborne: reasoning
* Belauntriss: luxuries
* Bev: vander is tortured

#### Prin

* *No one fell to the questioning; they eventually spoke with Prin; they shared their story, group told bits and pieces.*
* *Jake says, "When Osborne feels as sure as possible that bev is asleep he as quietly as possible, in halfling, prays to the Celestial Comet. Basically "'this isn't my thing I don't really do gods, but there are some girls who do believe in you and need your protection'"*
* *Check gaining strength mod after exercising daily*
