The Tribe talked with Vel, the little mouse person who described an island with a pond and a wagon with Fi in it hiding underneath a dome that was fading fast.  Vel stressed that if we were to help we needed to go quickly to arrive in time, and promised a gift for the Tribe if they were able to make it, and help in time.

On the walk Arkenite and Vel walk about family time, picnics punishment for thefts etc.  They spoke of Arkenite’s watch and the pixie trapped inside and Vel said it would be possible to free her, but Rynae would not like it, and the Pixie was being punished for stealing ice crystals.  Vel also showed off his symbols a snowflake symbol representing the eastern regent from the Winter Court.

As the Tribe was nearing the pond they noticed a small worm like creature, a Rhemoraz attacking the Dome and then as the dome dropped eating the horse that had pulled the wagon.  On that note, the Tribe engaged the Rhemoraz in combat, and as they began to feel they had the upper hand, the Mother Rhemoraz broke through the ice and went to Attack Entropy.

The battle continued with Vimak quickly banishing the Mother, and the Tribe dispatching the smaller one.  The tribe discussed what to do and then surrounded where the mother would return and prepare for an attack.  In a blink she returned, and the Tribe attacked doing some decent damage.  On her turn the mother turned, bit Ash and swam under water slowly starting to eat him.  She swam below with the Tribe panicking on how to rescue Ash.

Eventually Ash was thrown up after doing serious damage to the Mother and she broke back through the surface.  Upon surfacing Vimak again banished her, the larger grown Arkenite grabbed the cart and the Tribe began to run away into the east.  After the minute of banishment ended the mother returned and Roared out in anger, she began to chase after the Tribe’s footsteps into the woods when Me’s lightning storm hit her right in the torso, and she went back into the water to recover.

The Tribe walked further away before setting up an impromptu camp and talking with the Mouse folk.  This conversation began with Evresh quickly working on the downed mouse in the animatronic body, she worked on is head and opened it up revealing an adorable mouse in a suit.  Vimak noticing that the Mouse was not waking up rushed in and cast cure wounds on the mouse, healing him and helping him wake up.

After this conversation was had about the Mice and where they came from, with the mice admitting they came from the Fae, and worked for MMME specifically, with a symbol of an 8-pointed yellow star with a red dot at the end of each point.  The MMME stood for Monsieur Maurice’s Magical Emporium, who was a creator of magical items, including Me’s Cloak.  More conversation was had about the Fae and if they knew of Tycea, which they did not, before the mice offered the three items the Tribe could choose from:

1)     The leash of believing – a leash that creates an imaginary dog that Others can see but not the leash holder.

2)     A pet Rock that can listen to commands and can follow the commands and move when no one is watching.

3)     The Millennia Falcon – A bird that can locate objects from up to 1,000 feet away but would rather stay at home lounging on the couch.

The Tribe discussed and Me quickly chose the Millennia falcon as practically, the best gift.  Entropy then questioned the Mice a bit about what they were trading, Sulfur from the hells, Residuum, Fire Crystals, Iron from crag hammer and leaves from syngorn.

They mentioned this was a place of nexus for traveling between the planes when questions from Entropy on why traders would be in a place with no people or resources to trade.  Furthermore the mice mentioned that there were 4 of these nexuses, one here one in Syngorn, one off the Lucidian coast, and one near Whitestone.

Entropy then questioned them about Kalseru, who they said caused trouble when he was released into the Fae. He was released for political intrigue and to curry favor, made an attempt at the princess of the winter courts life.  Kalseru was given to the princess by Egnoss as a gift before he turned.  He killed many members of the court before escaping with his life.

For this Egnoss was banished from the Court.  He was a mage of no small power, and Egnoss Kalseru and the Mother all still live.  The mice further noted that their Master would love to swap tales with Entropy about all of these when Entropy comes to visit.  The mice then ask the Tribe what they are doing here, and the Tribe responds, which led one of the mice to go get a small pot of Fae soil from the cart which they gave to Me.  Me planted the seed into the dirt and could feel the seed was slightly comforted by this.

The Tribe then asked about the White Dragon, and the mice said to not try the front door.  That the dragon has worshipers there who we would be smart to avoid.  Allyria then asked about the Bonalyath camp, and the Mice were not able to provide much help on this front, as the Bonalyth had camps hidden all around.  Finally, as the mice turned to leave, Allyria mentioned she thought the dog leash would be a huge benefit to have.

Entropy offered, sort of sheepishly, that they could ask someone, and the Mice offered they would trade the leash if we could get them the right to trade into the heart of Dispater’s territory.  Entropy looked at Allyria, and she nodded agreement and with that, a red and purple mist enveloped Entropy and Allyria and they were whisked out of sight for about 5 seconds before the mist coalesced again and Entropy and Allyria returned, slightly inebriated, with a contract in hand signed in blood.

NOTHING ELSE AT ALL HAPPENED during that 5 seconds!

The tribe then began to continue their journey to the old EnThanUs encampment, with Allyria trying out the leash which appeared to create a random dog for others to see each time it was used.  The Tribe began to see some old buildings on the horizon, and some small rivers, which Ash touched taking damage.  Entropy sighing, touched the water and drank some, taking no ill effect, before sighing again.

As the Tribe got further into the abandoned buildings Ash and Me noticed a small white, half sized humanoid that was slowly walking off on the side, and with that the Session ended.
