­Session 109: Rensig Remembers

In Thither, Rensig was feeling a strong pull to the south, however after putting it to a vote, The Lucky Seven decided to head north towards Loomlurch in the hopes of uncovering clues about Bucky & Dorn’s past as well as their father’s treasure. To that end your guide, Clapper Claw lead you through the beautiful and pristine primeval forests of Thither. On your way north you encountered a singing mushroom who was about to be eaten but instead ended up joining you on your trek. When you asked them to pick a name they choose “Cute Bastard”. Continuing on you were ambushed by a dryad, Meadowleaf who mistook you for agents of Granny Nightshade. When she learned that you were looking to bring Zybilna back to the land of Prismeer she gifted you with three magic sycamore seeds.

Bucky, looking at a picture of the wanted fugitive “Will of the Feywild” reminded Clapper Claw of the potential aid that could be found if you sought out the Getaway Gang. And so after some introductions, Will, three other children, a displacer kitten named Star and an animated oil can named Squirt joined you on your quest. While Will was very eager to get to Loomlurch, the other members of the Getaway Gang all thought it best to seek out the council of the unicorn, Lamorna if you were really going to be going up against Granny Nightshade. They taught you the secret of getting to the Wayward Shores and how to summon the unicorn and there you learned more. On the shores as sun was setting, before Lamorna had appeared, Rasamus presented Rhys with a gift, a Belt of Hill Giant Strength and then tried to adopt one of the children in the Getaway Gang but was rebuffed.

After summoning Lamorna you learned that the unicorn had had a partner, but that the Hourglass Coven had taken him, no doubt to use the power of his horn which Lamorna suspected was involved somehow in whatever condition had befallen Zybilna and the rest of the Crystal Court. She said to keep an eye out not only for the horn, but for any horses, or horse like beings, for they may be her partner who she knew was not dead as she would have sensed it. She told you a dandelion named Amidor in Yon would be able to guide you to The Palace of Heart’s Desire where you would need to go to free Zybilna and her court, but that another would also be able to get you there. She recognized Rensig as Tuxil and said that with his memories returned he would be all the guide you needed.

While talking to Lamorna, a stout orc emerged from the brush wielding two daggers and his own fake unicorn horn (for that was the secret of getting to Wayward pond). While he did manage to injure Lamorna, Muffy let loose with her Eldritch Blasts taking all of the fight out of him. Rhys revived him, and while he refused to give anything up, Rensig was able to read his mind as Rhys asked poignant questions. You learned he worked for The Hourglass Coven and that he was part of some group called The League of Malevolence. Knowing he would only try to kill Lamorna again, Gram banished him from The Feywild.

You were now within an hour of Loomlurch as the sun was setting, but instead, you decided to head back south as you figured even if time would be limited with Rensig having his memories, that he would potentially be an even greater asset with them back. Especially after Lamorna told you that he would know as much about Zybilna and the Crystal Court as anyone.

Will protested making any more stops, but after convincing him you just needed to grab one last alley, he acquiesced and you went South again trekking into the night finally reaching the mouth of the cave after encountered a great bit of destruction in the forest which the children believed might have been caused by the legendary Jabberwock. Will was eager to meet this alley who could be of great help, and it was only by Gram telling him the truth that he agreed to wait until the morning to go and free the other children in Granny Nightshade’s captivity.

In the morning, Rensig entered the cave, and when Gram told him his true name the memories came back, Rensig is Tuxil and Tuxil is Rensig, a being of incredible power in his place of power. He also immediately recalled everything in his cave of lost things, including that within was a piece of The Rod of Seven Parts which he swiftly brought out. Among its many abilities is the power to teleport which immediately reminded Rensig that he knows of a teleportation circle in The Palace of Heart’s Desire.

Will is now demanding that you do as you promised and aid the Getaway Gang in liberating the children in Granny Nightshades workshop, but first Bucky has a situation on her hands. She is now shedding light similar to when Muffy is Flowing and Glowing, and has summoned a couple of critters, all inadvertent effects caused by her connection the power of the Device of Lum the Mad. The critters in question are one very gross oozing thing with a face, and another that appears to be some hybrid of eagle and beagle. The ooze with a face looks ready to serve, but the eagle beagle looks ready to strike.
