Session 47

The party attempted to depart Wolis for Oceanside to perform the ritual to remove Squire's unwanted hitchhiker.

## Summary

Teer and Evelynn continue their conversation during her dream. They get caught up better on each other's lives before Teer brought up the skyforged they encountered in the Shadowfell. Evelynn explains that she only remembers her father complaining that Vayduin Tal'Zergeiros was the reason they were not fully prepared for the attacks of the demons during what would be later called the Calamity. Their discussion concluded, the pair joined Akaros to play Xbox.

In the morning, the party gathered for breakfast. Teer, still in the form of a cat, and Renn emerged from the kitchen. Teer rested on Plosi's lap, and Renn set out the cucumber sandwiches. Renn explained that she had encountered Purifier Talthis Vim who had seen her changeling eyes. She and Teer had decided it would be a good idea for her to use a different face while in Wolis. The others agreed, and Ephemera pointed out that they were going to Oceanside so it wouldn't be an immediate concern. Everyone was surprised by her new ability to speak telepathically without physical contact, and she explained that she obtained a couple of new memories which restored that ability.

Teer returned to his warforged form, and Akaros returned to Teer shortly after. The party decided to wait for a few hours before going to Oceanside, allowing Teer time to recover from casting Polymorph. It was established that the cucumber Teer ate as a cat was not stored somewhere inside Teer's body.

Renn asked Izora for a word in private. The rest of the party left and allowed the two to converse. Renn apologized to Izora for how she had previously acted toward her. She explained that it had been born of jealousy, due to Izora's freedom and general "cool and different" appearance. She then thanked Izora for sharing her information about Micah, and that he hadn't deserved her as a friend. Finally, she requested that Izora keep an eye on the Worthing estate for Purifier activity. Izora agreed, but refused monetary repayment, claiming that she would be payed in a different way. Renn offered information regarding Talthis' inquiries about the Daltimer family. Izora, intrigued, explained that the Daltimers had been killed after attacking Talthis in his own rooms, having acted on information that he would be away during that time.

Everybody finished packing and met up. Renn explained that she lost attunement to her Band of Kept Secrets. They discuss a few places where the ring might have gone. It could only have been stolen, since magical items rare simply get lost. Teer ultimately gave Renn his Don't Worry About It. Their business concluded, the party successfully teleported to Oceanside via the Teleportation Compass.

The party journeyed to Jin-Ri's tower. Along the way, they spotted a fleet of warships in the harbor, preparing, presumably, for war. The Black Citadel was being repaired after the attack by the thunderbird during Alain's escape. Jin-Ri took the party to her laboratory to set up for the procedure. She explained that Dort and Dorianus had succeeded at their own procedure, though it had been an experience due to their strong personalities and that Dorianus had gone in alone. The party suggested the Nightmare Catcher might be useful, which Jin-Ri agreed with. Having just freed up an attunement slot, Teer attuned to the Nightmare Catcher, and the party discussed their choices regarding the exact details of the procedure.

They have to traverse Squire's dreamscape to find the door to his mindscape. Once there, they must find the center of his being and dislodge the creature from his mind. As the party settled in to do the procedure, Seresh appeared and informed the party that the plants to repair Teer's roots were ready. After some discussion, Seresh teleported the contents of the room and the people therein to Crow Peak. The plan agreed upon, Teer, Plosi attached to him, fled to the bathroom because that's just what people do when they leave quickly. Renn joined them to make sure they were truly okay with everything going on, since it was happening so quickly. After a brief session of encouragement, they time skipped one hour and returned to Jin-Ri.

Meanwhile, Ephemera was assisting Jin-Ri and Seresh set up. A humanoid figure in red robes emerged from the castle and approached the group. The situation is explained to him, and he leaves to retrieve his anvil and hammer to help assist in repairing Teer. His anvil and hammer are ginormous and have abyssal inscribed on them. The figure told Teer to climb on the anvil. Once there, the humanoid revealed himself to be Goon, proportionally fitting the anvil and hammer. He swung down once, and Teer's chest compartment was fixed. Goon returned to his humanoid form, and Teer turned his pain receptors back on. Teer then apologized for his treatment of Goon previously; Goon again expressed regret for his involvement in the Calamity, but that he was glad to be useful in this situation.

After interrogating Goon briefly about his smithing abilities, the party arranged themselves to be transported to the dreamscape. Seresh evaporated Teer's withered roots and pressed a small seedling into Teer, and the plant began working its way immediately into his body. That procedure begun, Akaros, Ephemera, Kiono, Renn, and Teer were sent into Squire's dreamscape.

The party minus Plosi arrived in a dark space at the bottom of a round staircase. At the top of the stairs in a spotlight sat Plosi, sitting before a strange apparatus. They ascend the stairs and find that the humanoid forms of Seresh and Goon are on either side of the apparatus and "playing around" with a cylinder which represented Teer's form. Plosi was looking on in concern. Kiono and Renn spot small stick figures controlling the Seresh and Goon like puppets. They pointed out their existence to the others, and the party attracted Plosi's attention. After a moment of checking on each other, the party moved through a nearby door with Plosi's face on it.

The party arrived in a set of ruins, Plosi vanishing from their side. They spot Plosi near a tar pit. A rope tied about his waist was looped up into the air around a giant Ephemera's fingers. The rope looped back down to the center of the tar pit, where Teer is suspended, half-submerged in the tar. On Plosi's shoulders were two cats, a white cat with eyes like Renn's and a copper cat with a braid like Kiono's intent upon each other's destruction. The group approached, and Renn asked if it was okay if they helped him with the various situations around them.

Ephemera attempted to pull Teer out of the pit, but even with help she was unable to. She also tried calling to the giant Ephemera, but was unable to accomplish anything. Teer attempted to distract the cats, but they continued to attack each other. Ephemera then handed each of the cats to their counterparts and turned back to the dream Ephemera. Teer decided to talk to the version of him in the tar pit. That Teer explained that Plosi viewed him as weighed down in his own sadness, unable to accept the aid of others to be better. Teer then turned to Plosi and attempted to convince him that the Teer in the pit wasn't actually him, that he was alright and that Plosi didn't have to continue. Ephemera then stepped in and untied the rope from Plosi's waist. She agreed, and added that there were others there to help him. She then released Teer into the pit. Inspired by the action, Kiono threw her cat in the pit as well, where it drowned. Successfully persuading him that they would help, the giant Ephemera reached down to pull the cat and Teer out of the pit. The cat, however, had a white tendril attached to it, and it disintegrated, taking Squire's memories of Kiono with it.

Plosi, freed rather suddenly from his burdens, led the party through another door. The dimension twisted again, less dramatically this time, and the party was on a stone pathway. It led to a platform with a building on it. Inside, they find Squire Veggrek arguing with a nobleman named Vanzant about mineral rights and exploiting their workers. Teer approached, asking what was going on. After explaining that the noble was attempting to lowball the civilians for the mineral rights they held. Upon realization that this was likely a memory, the party stepped back and allowed the memory to continue as it was supposed to.

A mercenary group emerged from the nearby woods, demanding the Vanzant or violence. While the party wished to assist, they had been warned away from helping. More mercenaries appeared, and the party hesitantly backed away. Plosi recalled the situation, vaguely remembering how he had originally dealt with the situation. Having been in the situation before, he continued as he had originally. He blockaded the door with the civilians, and attempted to hold them off until Dyana's expected arrival. During the course of events, Squire Veggrek cast Sanctuary on the Vanzant, which was a difference from the original events. One of the mercenaries crashed through the window beside the Vanzant, failing to grab him the way he had in the original sequence of events.

As Squire Veggrek nearly died, Dyana Lightblade appeared, casting Lay on Hands to heal him back to full. She annihilates the assailants and successfully cows Vanzant. Vanzant gave Squire Veggrek the title of "the Stalwart." As the memory concluded, he came to himself and remembered that he intended to have Dyana lead the party to the creature. Dyana, far too aware of her existence as a dream creature, gathered the party into a ball and threw them through a door in the sky.

The party, once again sans Squire, arrived in the Dragonlands. They were near a set of elven ruins, and spotted three goblins. One was easily recognized as Dort, and another was Squire — Mingal. A third, younger goblin was following them. The three discuss the origin of the ruins, unable to identify the reason they were ruins without any corpses or sign of struggle. Mingal decided the ruins would make a serviceable home despite the strangeness of the empty city. Veggrek, the youngest of the goblins, discovered a stone tablet, the writing block lettering in elvish. Unable to translate the sign, the three goblins descend into the ruins. Teer and Lei, speaking elvish, realize the sign declared the city to be Rama va Arel.
