Dagger of Devil's Sight

The **Dagger of Devil's Sight** is a six-inch blade infused with the Devil's Sight invocation by the Vampire Lord Strahd von Zarovich, who also cursed the weapon so that it would be less harmful to undead.

The Dagger requires attunement, after which it grants the ability to see normally to a distance of 120 feet through magical and nonmagical darkness while being held. The Dagger inflicts an additional amount of necrotic damage equal to the wielder's proficiency bonus, and the blade is a magical weapon for the purposes of overcoming resistance to nonmagical damage.

When used against undead, the Dagger has disadvantage due to the curse placed on it by Strahd.

Following a tense interaction, our Mammothari retired to the Inn while our Druid and our Tiefling purchased supplies to brew additional potions of healing, after whcih our Rogue recalled a conversation with his father in which he had learned the truth about the deadly history between the fathers of our Sorcerer and our Cleric; retiring for the evening herself, our Druid experienced another dream in which she was amused to realize that the fragment of the Abyssal monstrosity's multiversal consciousness is lost and disoriented within the fractured labyrinth of her own mind. The next morning, the party ventured deeper into the Swamp, discovering the body of another adventurer and laying it to rest before being attacked by a squad of Kobolds..."

Our group continued eastward the next morning, successfully negotiating passage through unsanctioned barricade where our Rogue was caught unawares by a stealthy assassin before being released when our Druid demonstrated the power of a *Moonbeam*. We later weathered a sudden thunderstorm during which a hoard of shadowy creatures calling themselves The Searchers attempted to collect our Druid, who suggested that they leave so persuasively that they did. The party pushed on into the evening, but as darkness descended, the shadowy hoard returned to pursue us, nearly capturing our Sorcerer before being driven back by the timely appearance of the Mother of our Tabaxi..."

Shortly after, our Rogue attempted to gain entry into an adjacent chamber, but was interrupted as the door was opened by Syldar Hallwinter, the commander of our Fighter, who revealed the dead body of the mage Iarno Albrek, the personal arcane instructor of our Wizard. Our Fighter realized, however, that all was not as it seemed, and was promptly attacked by his commander, who thus revealed himself to *be* Albrek; the mage ridiculed our Wizard and admitted to betraying the Lords’ Alliance for the promise of wealth, incapacitating our Fighter in the skirmish that ensued before our Wizard furiously cast a devastating *Shocking Grasp* through a handful of coins, and our Bard whispered the final words the mage would ever hear. We eventually returned to the Stonehill Inn shortly before sunrise, delivering Albrek’s body to our Fighter's commander, who mournfully resolved to personally deliver the mage’s remains to the city of Neverwinter..."

Realizing that we were heading to the same destination from which he had just arrived, the Arcane Trickester used a Helm of Teleportation to transport the entire party to the city of Zadash in a single, slightly-nauseating instant. We then proceeded to The Hearth Inn, where our Cleric reunited with his mother, who our Druid was shocked to recognize as a central figure from her own traumatic past. Our Tiefling revealed the truth of her identity to Pearce, who had worked with both her father and our Mammothari guide, and with the mercenary's job of delivering the party to Zadash completed, he was then personally hired by our Fighter to mentor her in the use of her psionic abilities. As the party settled in for the evening, our Sorcerer was visited in a dream by the Reaper calling itself Endless, who revealed that her first trial would begin soon, though she would nto have to face it alone..."

Gray/Progression

**Gray** has progressed through the following levels:

#### Sneak Attack

Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a doe's distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon. You don't need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll. The amount of extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Sneak Attack column of the Rogue table.

#### Thieves' Cant

During your rogue training you learned thieves' cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows thieves' cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly. In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simply messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves' guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

### Level 2: Rogue 2

#### Cunning Action

Beginning at 2nd level, your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

### Level 3: Rogue 3

#### Steady Aim

Beginning at 3rd level, as a bonus action, you give yourself advantage on your next attack roll on the current turn. You can use this bonus action only if you haven't moved during this turn, and after you use the bonus action, your speed is 0 until the end of the current turn.
Kherth Fastcrook

**Kherth Fastcrook** is a Gnoll Druid, the daughter of Graeth Fastclaw and Khurgin Saltcrook, the niece of Gneaux, Ghenek, and Graughm Fastclaw, the sister of Glaern, Ghorek, and Knerin Fastcrook, and a former slave of Nethjet in the mageocracy of Thay.

Her mother and uncles led a slave revolt that resulted in the successful liberation and retaking of the city of Nethjet.
Minerva

**Minerva** is a Trident of Fish Command owned by Sea Elf Bard Ariel, who inherited the weapon from her mother, Queen Athena.

## Mechanics

The trident is a magic weapon that has 3 charges. While being carried, the wielder can use an action and expend 1 charge to cast *Dominate Beast* (save DC 15) from it on a beast that has an innate swimming speed. The trident regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn.

Proficiency with the trident allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.

Investigating the downward exit once used by our Zemnian ally, however, the two became separated, forcing our Aasimar to flee further underground alone, bypass a guard, and discover room with no apparent exits; our Monk invisibly retreated upward, creating a distraction that allowed him to escape with the Bag of Holding, inside of which the rest of the team battled the extradimensional aberration known as the Bagman. Inside the building, the Rogue discovered a concealed tunnel beneath the floorboards, traversing the treacherous remnants of the facility’s sewers to emerge in the forest and reunite with the group shortly before being teleported back to the city of Zadash. Returning to the Gentleman’s bar, the party was visited again by the Reaper calling itself Endless, who instructed our Sorcerer in the painstaking process of repairing the tattered patches of our Cleric’s mother’s soul; the Tabaxi then attempted to remove a small bead of darkness embedded deep within the heart of our Druid’s father, accidentally shattering it in a tragic mishap that resulted in the man’s death. As the Reaper prepared to collect the Kenku’s soul, our Genasi cast *Revivify*, and with contributions from the Fighter, the Rogue, and the Druid, the Cleric successfully resurrected Trouble’s father, seemingly freed from the evil that had previously possessed him..."

## Transcript

"The fourth session of the Wildemount campaign known as *Mountain of Mystery* is officially upon us, airing tonight at 9:00PM Eastern Time, 8:00 Central, and I will be streaming my side of that session here in order to direct viewers over to TanisJr93's channel on The Purple App. After defeating the spellcaster and his crew of bandits at the Western Winery, we discovered that they'd been hired by the politically-influential Truscan family; we then located a cellar where we confronted a Displacer Beast before finding the chest we'd been hired to retrieve. Moving the box triggered another explosion that resulted in the death of our Kenku Druid and revealed a scaly, golden egg, but our party refused to accept the cost and performed a desperate combination of magic, including an unconventional casting of *Command* by our Cleric, a bit of *Healing Hands* from our Aasimar, and a trade of indeterminate nature by our Wild Magic Sorcerer. The result was the mysterious disappearance of the egg and the miraculous revival of our Druid, who inexplicably reappeared as a dark-haired Halfling woman. We then returned to the city and delivered the repaired, albeit empty chest to The Masque, confessing to him that its contents were no longer inside, at which point we were approached by Oliver Schreiber, the King's retainer, who ordered the group to meet with him at court in three days..."

## Transcript

"The eleventh session of the Wildemount campaign known as *Mountain of Mystery* is officially upon us, airing tonight at 9:00PM Eastern Time, 8:00 Central, and I will be streaming my side of that session here in order to direct viewers over to TanisJr93's channel on The Purple App. After preparing for the journey through the mountains, the party followed Aboukir's lead across the Silber Plain south of Nogvurot, and several conversations were had and not had: our Tiefling and our Druid discovered the subtle art of controlling the facial expression of one's emotions, and our Mammothari guide described to his fellow Psi-Warrior Fighter the devastating events that led him to discover his own psionic abilities. Later that evening, the Reaper appeared again to our Tabaxi, revealing that it calls itself Endless, and then vanished immediately before the group was attacked by and quickly defeated a platoon of goblins. The next day, we continued further southward toward the Wertvoll woods, happening across what appeared to be an immense nest that reeked of death and decay moments before our Sorcerer and our Fighter found themselves paralyzed by the blood-chilling roar of a massive Liondrake..."

Jom

**Jom** is a Changeling Fighter living in Wildemount, and played by EyeoftheNyte.

### Background

The changeling knows little about his early years. By nature of his fey heritage, he understands that one of his parents was of the Feywild and the other is an unknown mortal from the prime Material Plane. He had rather frequently managed to traverse between the two planes, being curious as only the young can truly be. One such occasion, when on the prime Material Plane in his younger years, he spent some time watching people in a city, he became rather intrigued by the variety and purpose of footwear, since he never found the need for it. As he questioned many about it, to the amusement, frustration, and confusion of those he plied with his questions, he found a cobbler and clothier where he watched very intently, and with no small satisfaction in the process he found he could earn some coin by doing so. Utilizing his Feywild connection for finer materials for special clients, he was able to make quite a comfortable living for a single being on the Material Plane.

Several years after becoming established in the Dwendalian town of Bladegarden, the region got pulled into war and Jom, along with many others, got conscripted into the army. His unit, when sent into skirmishes or on missions, would tend to fare better, at least morale-wise, and Jom would attribute this to the proper care and repair of his unit's footwear. His unit commander seemed to agree, and would trade Jom's services to other officers and units to gain gear, information, and comforts for the unit: all small boons to generally improve a harsh day-to-day live and prove his own standing amongst the officers as well.

During what became the last weeks of the war, Jom's unit fell into an ambush on a scouting mission. During this, Jom took a blow to the head, causing him to inadvertently change his appearance out of reflex. Several of his unit members witnessed this and were shocked: some thought it was a ploy by the enemy and others began to break ranks to look for the "real Jom," thinking he was captured or unconscious somewhere. All of these individuals were slain. Jom, coming to his senses, snuck off and hid himself in the bushes off a distance to one side of where the fighting was happening. Dragging himself back after things had settled, he stuck with the story that he had been knocked out, that one of the two that had led him away had gotten killed in the fighting, and that he had killed the second before slowly making his way back.

One of the losses that hit him the hardest was their commander, and he carries the man's broken saber amongst his possessions. He remembers keenly the faces of the men that died because of that incident. After returning home to reestablish his business, he managed for the better part of a year before a deep restlessness took him, after which he began to travel. He has established connections back to the Feywild, where he trades some of his finer crafts for materials that are more rare and harder to find on the Material Plane.

Language of Another World

**"Language of Another World"** is a prose short story involving an interaction between Kahlan Karsus and Leander Brightwise.

## References

The story borrows its title from the opening of Act III, Scene IV of George Gordon Byron's 1817 dramatic poem *Manfred*:

“The stars are forth, the moon above the tops
Of the snow-shining mountains.—Beautiful!
I linger yet with Nature, for the night
Hath been to me a more familiar face
Than that of man; and in her starry shade
Of dim and solitary loveliness,
I learn'd the **language of another world**.”
## Summary

### 12 Brussendar 838 PD

Traveling north along the Amber Road toward Rexxentrum, Kahlan Karsus is approached by a metallic hummingbird that pesters her until she follows it into a field where she finds an unconscious man wearing winter gear. She tries to wake him carefully, but he panics and inadvertently strikes her with *Shocking Grasp*, immediately healing her after realizing what he's done.

He introduces himself as Leander and accompanies her along the road until they reach the Eisfus River, where they encounter a gang of Myriad bandits that they barely defeat. The man heals her twice more as they recover along the riverbank, after which she tends to his wounds as well before they continue on through the woods to a secluded grove in the western foothills of the Silberquel Ridge where they make camp for the night.
