## Episode 44 - The FeyWild West

After seeing Master Talden out, Seline returns inside her estate which is currently somewhere south of Duskdown. Talia and Seline offer Adrienne their home and to take care of her and welcome her into their family. They also encourage Jareth and Adrienne to teach the other common and Nightspeak. Adrienne doesn't like sweet stuff because of her experience in the feywild but loves pancakes. Seline sends a message with Jareth for Master Talden, requesting that they also make a potion to prevent dreaming and asking if anyone on campus speaks nightspeak because they are teaching Jareth. Talia walks Jareth out. She asks him how he feels about Adrienne potentially being his new sister. He said this a little weird.

> **Jareth Argent-Grey**Would she be my older sister or younger sister?...**Talia Argent-Grey**I do want to thank you. We were a bit worried when we realized she didn't have anybody to go to and we couldn't just leave her behind. So, I was a little bit worried about what you were going to say.**Jareth Argent-Grey** *(shrugs)*Well, I never really had a family that I've known. When you guys came and adopted me, I was really happy. I think it would be selfish if nobody else got to feel that.**Talia Argent-Grey**Adrienne is a surprise and even though she was a complete surprise, it doesn't mean that we're going to love her any less then we love you but I do want to point out something...**Talia Argent-Grey** *(hugs Jareth)*You though we're love at first sight. The minute we saw you, we kind of knew. Even though we weren't sure how we were going to do it with all our traveling. We knew 100% that you were ours the second we found you at the Cathedral. So whatever kudos big brothers get or what not, I just want you to know, Adrienne is a surprise, you though were planned. We planned to bring you in to our lives. And it doesn't necessarily mean more but it means something to me. And I just wanted you to know that.**DM Molly**he let the hug last for a second and then starts wiggling. Then it's like...**Jareth Argent-Grey**Mom! Mom!**Talia Argent-Grey**Nope**Jareth Argent-Grey**Mom!**Talia Argent-Grey**Nope, I've had a hard day!**Cris**And I just like give him that squishing, that can't let him go**Talia Argent-Grey**Nope!**Seline**What are they doing out there?**Talia Argent-Grey**Torturing our child!**Jareth Argent-Grey**Mom!

Seline takes Adrienne to bed and reads her story. Talia goes outside to smoke. Holding her holy symbol focusing on the bow, she calls out to the Warden to ask him to stop by. Talia returns inside and finds Adrienne still awake with Seline. Adrienne, still accustomed to her time in the feywild, feels more comfortable sleeping by herself in the closet. Talia and Seline talk for a little bit before deciding to go to bed. Seline tries not to fall asleep but does anyway. She dreams that she's in the Moonlit King's Castle. Seline tries to wake herself from the dream but can't. In the nearby mirror, she sees herself with black hair in a black dress made of the finest silk. Her reflection she's also wearing a pendant looks a bit like a spider, its back legs going up into the chain that goes around her neck. A large black diamond set in the abdomen. Seline tries to resist the dancing call of the song. The Moonlight Kings floats towards Seline. After speaking to him for a few moments, Seline tries to tell him she is not his daughter. He looks confused and the corruption begins to creep up over his skin. He says banished, cursed to Dance Forever! My child you must leave do not let... Do not let her... you do not let... he grabs his head in pain. propose marriage... Not...after a sigh he returns to back the way he was. Wanting to return to the dance and he drifts away. Seline goes over to him before he leaves and takes his hand. She tries greater restoration and wakes up. When she sits up she finds Adrienne standing over her.

> **Adrienne**You were dreaming...**Seline Argent-Grey**Yes I was**Adrienne**Don't Dance.**Seline Argent-Grey**I'm going to try not to. I didn't it this time...[Adrienne nods]**Seline Argent-Grey**... But I want to.

Adrienne says she woke because she heard Seline dreaming. Seeing that Talia still sleeping, Seline and Adrienne go to the kitchen to make tea. When asked about dancing Adrienne says Longfellow made his guests and musicians continue the dance even when they bled until he grew tired of the dance but the party never ended. Adrienne is afraid to go back to sleep, afraid to dream of the manor. Seline tells her the manor in her dreams is not real, reassuring her. They both eventually fall asleep on the couch. In the morning, Talia makes breakfast for everyone. Al is going to return to Bluepeak the catch up on his studies since he switched his focus to medicine. Jareth will stay in the estate and keep an eye on Adrienne. Seline and Talia discuss ways the contact the Warden before setting out for the day. On the road, they find a few families traveling south from Duskdown. The father thanks them for rescuing their children and says that they're on their way to Crankshaft. Before they part ways, the father warns them that there's some people in Duskdown who weren't happy about Talia and Seline's presence there. Talia and Seline put some distance between them and the wagons just in case and then set up the estate to check on the children. Seline fashions the end of an arrow from some wood and some of Cortez's feathers before setting up divination. Through divination Seline tells the Warden about Adrienne. After the spell ends, John Wayward knocks at the front door. Seline and Talia bring John up to speed. John speaks to Adrienne for a little bit and then back to Seline and Talia. He says they'll have some difficulties because Adrienne spend so much time in the feywild. Seline is concerned that she might be losing her Humanity. John tells her she can only lose it if she chooses to. He warns them though to be careful in Blackwater. They continue south for three more hours before setting up for the night. Talia asks Seline to cook while she looks around outside.

Meanwhile outside Talia checks around their door and doesn't notice anyone. Looking at the moon, Talia reaches out for her rage reaching out for the memories remembering what she saw when she went back to her Village and then she shifts.

> **Talia Argent-Grey**If I can't become then I'll be furious!...**DM Molly**You shift. When you shift, you're used to your fangs growing, your claws growing out. There's a little bit of a change in the structure of your face normally. This time when you shift, more things happen...**Cris Sass-Council**Such as?**DM Molly**Your claws lengthen but so does your hand. It lengthens out and you feel the thumb joint kind of pop into a bit more of a paw-like structure. Your feet kind of stretch in length a bit almost becoming digitigrade. You also gain a little bit of additional muscle mass in the shift. Your clothes suddenly feel much tighter and confining especially your shoes but also and all of this you're also not even really processing anything right now. All of this happens and all that's in your head is primal rage. Right at this moment, a net flies out of the darkness towards you... you managed to leap out of the way. A bit of it brushing past you as you get out of the way and you feel this hot streak as you look and it is a silver chain net that was thrown at you.

Talia roars when she sees Walker was the one that threw the net. Walker and three others stand there in dark clothing with a cloak that ripples oddly in the moonlight armed with guns and swords. With a prayer to the Moon that Seline heard the roar, Talia charges Walker knocking them both down. Walker grins has he jams 2 hooks into Talia's back. Walker's hunters stab Talia with their swords. Talia break free and Walker discards his hooks as he stands drawing his sword. He swings with his sword but only two of the hunters with him hit Talia. Black smoke leaves Talia's crossed arms as she hits Walker with Hexblade's Curse before she slashes him twice with her claws.

> **DM Molly**Suddenly his blade starts to glow a bit... as he brings the strike down there's an explosion of light and the pain of silver slicing through you as the blade comes right down through your collarbone.**Cris Sass-Council**My shift dropped dropped.**DM Molly**The other three walk up to you with their blades and strike downwards.**Cris Sass-Council**And I immediately fail 3 death saves.**DM Molly**And just like that Talia Grey Falls dead.
