AWR Session 28

```

```

-Mei is coming back from the Feywild, feels like a dream, but still has all the post cards

- Callus sees her wake up, says he was busy and couldn't sleep, they wake up Eclipsa

- Eclipsa is more ice now, has a mask. Mei does her make up, Eclipsa takes the coin and calls the Ferryman. He is not concerned. Also he's Tuxedo Mask. I mean the Barbed One. Rose and King of Hearts on his lapel

- Mei tells everything about the heist to Callus, shares post cards

- Eclipsa & Mei chat

- Eclipsa and Ferryman chat, but he's the Barbed One now. Also he has a new fit. Rose, thorns, King of Hearts

- Oh hey look Lucian is alive. There's a tower near where his sanctum is, it's a lot more minimalistic, pole under a cloche that has three prongs but nothing inside (needs a gem?). He has even more runes now but he's using his alter self ability to hide it.

- Unsurprisingly, ALenora is pissed, they leave for Manover

- Tarric has been here the whole time, duh

- Terry asks if we can create water. We can, but not the kind you'd want to drink. Says we're fucked. Inventory of waterskins happens. Balthazar has wine

- We make it through the desert portion. Tarric refills our waterskins with cold breath that melts

- Bag of tricks gives Harry discount Lion King vibes

- Oh god two day's worth of quicksand. Huddle, Bigby's hand, rope and grappling hook, Telekinesis, fly spell, polymorph, enlarge/reduce

- Mei asks everyone not to die, explains the Raven Queen might use them to get to her

- None of our prep matters because our saves are stupid good today and flash of genius is saving the weak links

- We can see the rock circle now! But it's past a rickety bridge

- No problem, lash a 24 ladder to it. Balthazar and Callus are flying

- Everyone gets across, Tarric saves Harry from falling through. Terry stays behind, Harry forks over big monies to get him to wait

- Mei is looking for tracks, poofs into the stone circle. Callus supermans in after her. Harry and Eclipsa follow, Tarric eventually too. Balthazar yeets Sasha in and promptly gets yeeted back out, but joins us too. Mind link and Ear cuff don't reach outside the circle to let everyone know it's safe, but it looks safe inside

- Look at all those nipples. I mean fish people.

- Tarric, Balthazar, and Harry can understand the languages they're speaking. Primordial and Abyssal. Tarric asks about the enchantment that hides the village but it's been there longer than they have. Place is called Evanna. Harry speaks in Vedalken, Yousef (leader) refers to him as lost and Wave Walker, speaking the mother tongue, wants to know if he's from the Wave. Doesn't know about a disappearance, but will ask around. Says they are protectors of a treasure and maintain the balance of the Soil because they are impartial.

- Balthazar is translating. Even when he switches to common. Calls them Hippies.

- Callus asks about Rickford Mort. He's here. Also says there's a God who loves him. Called the One Who Endures. He's with Rickford too

- They call the Wanderer's Malady "Twin Skin"

- They're passing out pink drinks and leis. Balthazar partakes

- Yousef is wearing a red cord

- Tent filled with sand, center has a big sarcophagus that is all black onyx with a red ring around it. Says "The One Who Endures" on it in celestial. Rickford is standing over it with a big leather book

- Snow Pea is Rickford's daughter

- Rickford says if we can wait around a few days, he can cure Callus with a ritual, but says it's a gift. Lots of eye-rolling. Ritual is also happening on the SIXTH OF REDFALL there it is again. Moons are both at half

- Detect thoughts from Balthazar: Rickford and Yousef are both thinking "From Moon to Soil to Healing"

- Tarric thinks this is boring and fucks off

- Yousef and Harry have a conversation, HARRY GETS THE BOOK AAAAAAA

- Tarric investigates the enchantment, yellow gems embedded in the stones, it's citrine

- Callus tries to reach out to the One Who Endures, Xander answers instead. Yelling happens. Callus leaves a bandage next to the coffin

- Long rest being done in a tent, everyone gets a crack at the book

- Conspiracy Theories Abound!
