Episode 17: October 7

+ On their walk north, they ran into a fomorian and some quaggoths fighting a treant; fought and saved the treant.
	+ Bitterbeard, taking them to Little Oak, his friend, carrying them. He's a spruce.
	+ He makes them little hammocks to sleep in, so they get a long rest. It'll take them about a day to get there.
* Seeking help from Agne's sister, Skabatha (SKA-bah-thah) Nightshade, they entered Selfa Tirion (Falkirk).

	+ Belantriss: Gold tinsel & satchel of holding
	+ Osborne: Wand of secrets
	+ Bev: Bracers of archery
		- “Bring this wisp of a thief to me alive and unharmed, and I’ll ensure that no sword can ever break your skin.”
		- Granny Nightshade gives the character a stone ring, which disappears when the character touches it. The instant the ring disappears, the character is petrified (no saving throw allowed).
	+ Vander, 7:
		- “How dare this ragamuffin defy me? Bring him to me alive and unharmed, and I’ll grant you a loyal servant.”
		- Granny Nightshade gives the character a friendly frog companion that has an Intelligence of 10 and the ability to speak and understand Common.

	+ They all gave up something to the dryads for good faith:
		- Vander: Playbook
		- Belantriss: Every first
		- Osborne: Harmonica
	+ Jake got a creepy cameo of twin children — we'll make it cursed or something
		- Put on; con save DC 12; if lose, 1 pt of exhaustion and you look ghostly and start talking like a ghostly little child

	+ Wake up to the news that the kids with Little Oak want a baby battle; two hits each, last person standing wins for the team.
	+ Will agrees to help them if they help him free the children at Loomlurch; he'll pretend to be caught and go with them to Skabatha while his friends + 2 of the party help
		- At the end, he wants one of the two to get Skabatha to go into another room, then he and the remaining person will fake a scuffle and he'll run out.
	+ If they successfully get away, Skabatha will be waiting for them outside of the fey court on their way out
