Game Log 2021-07-30

The Live show began with the Tribe pulling themselves together after the successful completion planting Art and the renewal of EnThanUs. Me, after resting up, walks off to meet and talk with Aldor. Along the way she runs into Doof, one of the silver watch, who guides Me to Aldor. Me proceeds to talk with Aldor, having a solid heart to heart and making up with her Brother.

Me asks Aldor about everything she can learn about where her Mother Tycea is located in the FayWild. He explains that she is located in a small little valley by a forked stream where Tycea helped a tree grow years ago. Me pushed further for more information learning that an Ancient Fay Hag named "Twitch Willow" had traded with Tycea for Me's freedom in a "Place built from unexpected love". This place has sense been corrupted by the Hag, into an aberration surrounding the Tree Tycea had raised, corrupting the tree and raising a forest of Brambles around the tree. Somehow they explain the hedge contains Fear, Loathing and Sadness. Finally, Me was guided to search out "Ceana" a regeant of the summer court for more information. Me then hugged her brother and they parted ways.

Me then went for a walk back to the Tribe running across Eylegin aka Fauxlegin, telling him that she wants a dagger. He leads her to his house and proceeds to bring out a magnficant beautiful dagger, out of a mahogany box lined with crushed red velvet. He further explained that this dagger was there the Day that Raishan was poisoned. Me Aghast at potentially taking this family heirloom returned it to Eylegin, thanking him for his offer, went and got a simple dagger from the guards and returned to the Tribe.

Back at the encampment Entropy was innocently offering to take the communication book from Evresh and going to talk to the quartermaster who had given her the book. Entropy then went to the quartermaster, convincing him that the Tribe needed the other book to communicate with EnThanUs. Entropy then took this book to Cilla, learning she was out, he left the book with Wicbert with instructions to pass the book to Cilla upon her return. Wicbert then grabbed a bag of coin from the shelf for Entropy (His monthly earnings from employing Cilla).

While this happened Evresh went scouring the city looking for metal, gears, and other things she could use to enhance Zel the automoton. Allyria, taking her duty to defend Evresh very seriously, follows along on this journey, and while Evresh shopped Allyria noticed a beautiful sword on the blackswmith's wall with a familiar symbol on it. A set of rings that matched her Sword and her Gauntlet symbols on all three. Allyria then recollects that this sword was owned by Ashe a few weeks ago, shacking her head about how he could have sold such an amazing weapon she purchased it back for him / the party, for $1,000 gold.

Evresh, thinking back remembers that Sword from Bleakburn and thinks Mylegin may have some additional information about the Symbol. The two of them to speak with Mylegin who mentions that the symbol on the weapons and armor refers to "Thrakid Runehammer" the legendary dwarven smith from Kraghammer. The new sword though from Bleakburn, the rings are similar but there is an additional symbol in the middle of the rings that Mylegin does not understand. He further explains that Thrakid was the last of his kind, and he has perished. He was the last of his line as his son did not take up the mantle of the forge in his fathers memory. Thrakid was always a bit of an oddball with a unique affinity for froststeel, something that most Dwarves avoid due to its elven nature.

Mylegin then give Evresh an envelop to take to mother, and Allyria is able to collect two servings of froststeel ready for forging. Now that the City is planted EnThanUs is able to share a bit of their dwindling supply.

A bit later the tribe continues relaxing in this newfound peace, with Me and Entropy doing some play sword fight with her new dagger so she could get acclimated a bit with it, while Ash and Vimak went to learn the Burial rights of the EnThanIan's, with Vimak noticing that the souls through this ritual are flowing to a purer, magical place than Vimak usually feels. While this happened Artemis announced she was getting restless and was going for a hunt. The rest of the Tribe tagged along, at least to walk and stretch, and most to take part in the hunt. Artemis led the party back to the Rhemoraz mother, mourning for her baby, and the Tribe executed her professionally, locking her down and quickly dispatching her.

Upon returning from the hunt, the Tribe was talking about what to do with their house in EnThanUs, when the idea was mentioned to set it up as an Orphanage for the numerous lost children from the conflicts. Entropy quickly put forth the $4,000 gold the Tribe had from the Bonalyth camp to finance the Orphange to Allyria to pass it along to the right parties in the City. The Tribe left Dubney in charge of the "Snow Drop Academy" in memory of Vaulk and went to pack their bags to leave the City. As this happened, Entropy through a message into his book with Wicbert, telling Wicbert and then Cilla to take a cut of his profit from their trade and use that to Pay for the upkeep of the Orphanage in perpetuity.

The Tribe then began the walk to Bleakburn and Mother the puppetmaster with Me noticing she can communicate telepathetically with Art now after the ceremony.

Bleakburn!

As the Tribe got closer to the Town of Bleakburn they noted that life had returned to the area, it was as if a darkness had lifted from the area. The refugee camp had dissipated with a number of people moving into more permanent settlements on the outskirts of the Town. As the Tribe got close to the Town they noticed Danre the walrus like guard captain who talked quickly with the Tribe as they entered the Town.

Taking a collective deep Breathe the Tribe followed Vimak, who was nearly running to the temple with Childlike glee to see his Mother, the Mother. The Tribe noticed fewer people being tended by the Clerics of SarenRae, and that the temple was slowly moving back to normal. Vimak ran up to and embraced Mother. Who quickly turns to scan the Tribe, speaking to Artemis that "She will be ok", "Keep the faith", and to "Find the Path". Mother then, nonchalantly took some random bacon out of her pocket, passing it off to Vimak who was still glowing.

The Tribe talked to Mother quickly, with a few secrets being blurted out and Me exclaiming that she wanted Privacy away from Mother to discuss this, and she went to leave to meet Google and talk. Mother overheard some talk about the "Wives of Tomorrow" book and she stated this was about Lineage, Dieties, and the offspring of gods. She also overheard talk of a book club and a cockroach which she identified as being from a Devourer of souls, whatever that is!

As the Tribe went to leave mother, Evresh took a second in private with Mother giving her the letter from Mylegin which was just the word Bugbear. She laughed saying this was the end of a long joke, and that she had traveled with Mylegin years go as part of her "Tribe", along with a Son of a blacksmith and a Bard from a hot dry land. Once Evresh left, Entropy snuck back in, telling the Tribe he had left something inside, and quickly asked Mother about Dispater, who he was, and where did he come from? All that she shared was that Dispater believes that what he does is necessary, and that she does not feel he is Bad, and horrifyingly, that she has traveled and had dealing with many layers of the Hells.

The "Talk"

* The Tribe talks about secrets, with Arkenite showing his fathers rings, and Vimak taking them saying he feels the remnant of a spirit, rage and relief at protecting his son.
* Allyria takes off her mask, showing herself with a long gray snout, identifying that she is a werewolf. Entropy shows the Tribe what Allyria looks like without the lycanthropy, with the Tribe promising to help her.
* Vimak tells us about Tavish, the voice in his head, a general in the war with SarenRae against the Chained Oblivion, and Vimak further exclaims he has a vestige, a helmet he collected from the Orc Encampment.
* Arkenite asks if his Bow from Art was a Vestige, and he learns that it is a baby Vestige, and that Art had previously given up a vestige, the Staff that Me's grandmother uses.
* Entropy talks about his mothers journal, him bleeding on the book to open it, and answers a few questions.
* Me eventually asked the Tribe who is involved in a cult or secret organization with Artemis talking about her history with the rings, the Church of the Worthy etc, and Entropy spilling the beans about his involvement with the Clasp.

The tribe talks with Google, who mentions that he is tied in with the Rise of Colors, the Rise of Tiamat and that we need to get him home across the stars. He says we must find his stars to send him home. He even turns to Entropy and says he will sign a contract with Dispater, that Dispater has a piece of the puzzle. Finally saying that a thief stole his stars, Lisim Barre stole his stars in a chart.

Before leaving Bleakburn the Tribe went to talk with Annie Brightmane. She was happy to see her sword returned, and aghast to hear that Ashe had sold her master work sword to a random vendor. After a few questions from Allyria and Ashe being very embarrassed, Annie told the Tribe that her Grandfather was Thrakid Runehammer. That the Dwarves did not appreciate a women working in the forge and while her father didn't want to follow in her grandfather's footsteps she did, and when she showed interest in it, Thrakid had taken her under his wing as best he could and caught her the secrets of his master craft.

Annie has been hiding her master training from the world to stay quiet in little Bleakburn and was very happy that her sword is no longer out in the word. Allyria asked if Annie could forge from frosteel for her and Ashe, into a sword and helmet and Annie agrees to do this if Ashe will return her sword and if Allyria will share the knowledge of her curing, that is the only cost she demands.

She further tells Allyria that she must use the sword to kill the Prime werewolf and mix his or her blood with the sword.

STILLBEN!!

The Tribe travels to Stillben, and learns of the fall of Atud along the way. Atud is lost, filled with the broken dead, the buildings in shambles and no information about who or what is at fault. The Tribe is saddened by this, and pushes on to Stillben to learn what they can about this and many other things.

The Tribe arrived at the South Gate with Horse and Wagon back in their control. While the Tribe worked their way through the long entrance line Entropy noticed some writing on the walls "Seige", "Danger". Quietely telling the party this, he got worried upon arrival, and quickly rushed the group to a small inn called the Annoying Couple. Quickly realizing the inn is aptly named, the Tribe settles in, renting the rest of the building and requesting some delicious vegan food for part of the party. The Inn is run by Igin Buck, a small halfling fella with Auburn hair, and his boisterous wife, Wolfe who came screaming out of the kitchen weilding her cudgel.

After settling in quickly, the Tribe agrees to do go Visit the Library, and upon arrival at the Cobalt Soul Library, Entropy asked Evresh to research a few things for him if she has time, Raishan, Kalseru His half Brother the Dracolich terrorizing the Faywild, and other material planes, if such a thing exists. WIth that and as Evresh and the Tribe went into the Library to do some research, Entropy asked if anyone wanted to go walking with him, with the SarenRae Twins raising their hands. With a sigh that he would have to deal with these two holy fella's Etropy led them off in search of the Clasp.

Evresh led the party into the Library and they asked the librarian "Ellen" for many topics from the Fay to other planes to Raishan's recent news. Upon asking about planes and the Fay, the Library brought Evresh to another researcher in the Library, a being of indeterminate Race or Sex named Gray who was parched within a tower of books and agreed to return with Evresh and talk about his interest in planes similar topics.

WIth that, the Tribe did a live heist session which will be covered in a future session when we arrive at that time!
