Session 7

## Summary

Mario, in his grief for Enoch, sold his soul to the Raven Queen in order to restore Enoch to life. Unfortunately, Mario was not an expert in bird law and gained power from the Raven Queen instead of resurrecting Enoch. Destiny's Children gained enough experience to reach level 7.

### Holly's Cottage

Mario, Twinkletoes, and Maya row a dingy for an hour until they arrive at a 2 story stone hut. Maya knocked on the door, and a cat screeched inside. Mario had strong reservations about approaching the cottage, and followed closely behind Maya.

Holly's price for casting scrying magic (without a body part) was 1,500 gold pieces. In order to lower the price to 900 gold pieces, Mario poorly drew Izzy (which looked more like a bean) and Damacus (literally just 9 triangles, bird seed, and a fairly accurate drawing of Trixie). Unable to pay those prices, Destiny's Children departed for Ashenport. Mario gave holly a feather in case Izzy and Damacus came across the cottage and needed to scry on them.

### Ashenport

Maya, Twinkletoes, and Mario arrived at Ashenport at sundown during the rain. They went to Smooth Sailing Inn, which was constructed from two boats. Inside, they find Izzy without her trademark red face lines (which turned out to be paint, not tattoos) and Damacus disguised as another person.

Izzy showed the other three a wanted poster of Destiny's Children. The bounty was set for 15,000 GP alive and 10,000 GP dead. She also informed the group that she met an ancient white dragon while they met Dan.

The group attracted the attention of a local cryptid hunter, Darro, and his mechanical partner Elbow. Elbow shyly gave the group a flyer depicting some sort of flying creature.

Darro: "It takes the farm. Part man. Part moth. You might call it: a Man-Moth!"

Darro: "Elbow! My Map!"

Darro carried an alphabetized tome full of depictions and descriptions of a wide array of strange creature, most of which fell under 'M' since they began with "Man-".

Darro: "Elbow! My Tome!"

In their room, Mario made Izzy a feather cap that sort of looks like a spiky haircut from far away.

### Spire

Destiny's Children (along with Darro and Elbow) returned to the spire. They went into the Room of Olorichian, in which two people descended into a fighting pit. Mario and Maya went first, and Mario pinned her to the ground while Maya did nothing. Maya sank into the sand, and Mario advanced tot he next round. Darro and Mario then faced off, and Mario won the Greataxe of Olorichian. Mario gave the greataxe to Maya, but it rejected her, so she pushed Mario.

Destiny's Children slept for two days in the tower. Mario followed the ghosts around to see their daily pattern, and also turned Enoch's backpack into a disguise. He would use the mantle to float inside of it, and look like a backpack for whoever wore it.

### Siren

Back in Ashenport, some magical music from the ocean caused all of the townspeople, including most of Destiny's Children, to fall under a trance and walk towards the sea. Darro and Izzy were able to prevent most people (if not everyone, the ancient texts are not clear at all what happend during this period of time) from walking to their watery graves.

Destiny's Children tried to investigate what the townspeople knew about the habitual ocean song.

Darro (to a fisherman): "I understand the fear and hesitancy of speaking of things other may not believe."

### Grove

The party discovered that Maya worshiped Maev.

A grove in the center of town contained a shrine to Laticia, a dragon master from centuries ago. The statue was chipped and seemingly cut repeatedly.

Some people attacked Destiny's Children in the grove. They killed Mario's new raven familiar. Maya tried to keep one of the attackers alive, but Darro and Mario really wanted to fight. They had the guy pinned up against a wall but just kept missing attacks.

Mario looted 50 GP.
