The Acolytes in Sexy Tights investigate the ruins of Cloud City.

## Major Plot Points

#### The Fallen City

* After Aryan Grande's demonic ape killed Madame GooGoo and her posse of summoners, Lolth rewarded the party with a glass wand that would free Sybil Ringwell and Juxxtina from Bloody Mary's mirror. It would just take some time to learn how to use.
* When the Acolytes returned to the surface, they found the bloody mess the demonic ape left behind. They discovered a Mocking Bird and Pipes of Partying in the carnage.
* Avarice Niveus returned in her hot air balloon after being ditched in Slushy Slopes. Luckily, the Acolytes were easy to track through their antics. Avarice told the group the upside down tower they just came out of was once part Cloud City, the domain of the Archfey of Wind and Sky. Aethera and her city disappeared during the War of the Courts. It's suspected Evelyn Moongrave, one of Baba Yaga's daughters, had something to do with it. Reports say she was in the city before it disappeared and hasn't been seen since. The party decided to investigate the area for other ruins.
* The group found a genie with a group of followers about to burn a gnome woman at the stake. Dewey Thundersnatch created a fog cloud to help Bromo trick the cult into thinking he was a deity and to end the sacrifice. The mages turned against the genie and started worshipping Bromo. A battle against the genie ensued where the mages threw a collective fireball at Shakai, killing him. The group grabbed the genie's hat, which he was regenerating in. They also found his essence in the form of chest hair stuck to his vest. Bromo confessed to the mages he was no god. Ehhh, Pousse, and Snowball decided to stick around anyway. Icicle left.
* A group of grung knights were raiding the ruins for treasure as well. They were claiming artifacts in the name of King Lollihop. Their king is technically the mayor of Upfall, a swampy city in Xanthoria's domain. King Lollihop seeks to end the two-court system. Bromo beat one of the knights in a sparring match.
* Clows Kufas and Dewey found floating orbs of light hovering in the distance. They were able to resist the will-o-wisps' charms and successfully avoided being led into a crevasse.
* The Acolytes then discovered a moondial tomb. Bromo translated the Sylvan inscription that read, "When the moon is made whole, you may kill her soul. When the moon is made anew, I will be too." The group realized it was a full moon tonight. Using their magic and skill, the Acolytes were able to manipulate the moondial to reflect a new moon phase. In a golden brazier, the group threw in offerings that matched its carvings - a cloud, a leafy branch, and a feather. With just a humanoid hand left, Dewey put his hand into the fire. The silvery flame completely destroyed his hand. Once the last offering was made, a mummy named Rhyme rose out of his sarcophagus. Rhyme was a citizen of Cloud City and had visions of its destruction so he mummified himself to survive. He removed the bandages on his hand to reveal Dewey's hand had replaced his desiccated one. As thanks for awakening him, he bestowed upon the Acolytes kraken ink. He also gave Dewey a new hand.
* A sphinx named Sphynxter had taken refuge in Cloud City's ruined library. When the party found him, he offered prizes if they could solve his riddles. After the party won a spell scroll of Freezing Sphere and , Sphynxter grew frustrated. He then offered them a grand prize of a magic staff after they solved another riddle. Muchomucho M Amor realized the staff was cursed and made out of a demon's spine. Bromo's new follower Ehhh was brave enough to try to hold the cursed wand. He overcame the demon's influence and successfully claimed the weapon.
* Clows and Muchomucho investigated a nearby field with statues of a blue dragon, a pegasus, a tiefling, a goliath, and a triton. They fixed them up and imbued them with elemental magic. This unlocked a hidden elemental grenade.
* The group then met a dryad named Maple who was busy growing beautiful plant life around the ruins to beautify them. She warned that the nearby windmill was haunted. She constantly heard screaming and smashing coming from within it.
* Muchomucho found a fairy triceratops nest but decided not to steal any of its eggs.
* The Acolytes then arrived at the haunted windmill. The ghost of Evelyn Moongrave was inside of it. Bromo realized that she was only tangible in the direct light of the full moon. Evelyn possessed Bromo but Dewey was able to break her control by dispelling good and evil. Dikarus Bottombane struck with his psychic bite. Evelyn's horrific visage failed to terrify and age the party. Clows cast gravity sinkhole. Dewey cast destructive wav on the undead woman. Dikarus fired with his bow of the huntress. Bromo kept slashing with his axe. Evelyn unleashed more withering winds. Muchomucho ended the fight by hitting Evelyn with a sunbeam.
* The party found old journals of Evelyn's that proved she did kill Aethera. When Evelyn tried to use Aethera's mythalar to transform herself into the new Archfey of Wind and Sky. However, the mythalar malfunctioned and killed Evelyn and destroyed the floating city. Evelyn spent the subsequent years trying to unbind herself from the ruins and to become permanently corporeal again.
