Session 40 "Hints of a Larger World"

**Session 40 Recap: *Hints*** ***of a Larger World***

Upon settling off again in Athkatmon for the first time in
over a month, some interesting things happened: Muffy met Anoushka who warned
her about the Corinthian and Rensig had a brief glimpse of what might have been
The Plane of Fairie while sitting by the fountain near where he first met the rest
of The Lucky Seven. After meeting up at Muggy’s, you were approached by Moist
who you hadn’t seen in some time. He informed you about the island nation
responsible for all the automatons and the skyport construction. Piggy backing
off of that, and much to your surprise, he told you of the change of plans re:
the parade, stating that a celebration of the new automatons was going to take
precedent. Despite whatever else he may be, Moist appears to be a figure of
some station in the government. He did say that you would still be getting a
house in the Wave District. There was to be an award ceremony and celebration of
the group in ONE WEEK at the council house. You were to check in at his office
in the Bridge District if anything changed with your plans. At Muggy’s Muffy met
with Anoushka and revealed more of her past to both Anoushka and, later, to the
Lucky Seven. Anoushka informed Muffy that the demoralized attitude in town was
due to the influence of The Giant’s Legion. Even in the privacy of a back
corner at Muggy’s she seemed uncomfortable speaking of such things.

With a lot of heavy stuff on your plate, the Lucky Seven
ended the night in Dorn’s hideout, getting wild with the drug Zeal. That night,
after you all went to bed, Gram and Bip encountered a new level of terror in
the endless void they visit each night in their dreams, the maddening, overwhelming
entity claiming them as it stirred and appeared to crack its bonds. The next
day with questions of both his and Bip’s dream, Rensig’s possible brief visit
to the Feywild, The Activity of The Giant’s Legion, and The Corinthian, Gram
bought The Lucky Seven to a man he knew to have many answers: Balistar North.
Balistar explained much of what he could about the Feywild, and the planes in
general to the group, explaining his understanding of the multiverse using a
three dimensional representation via illusion based magic, though he stated
that the true architecture of what he was showing was much more complex with many
more dimension than just the three. Still, he was quite unsure of what to make
of Rensig. For a man who has seen a lot, he appeared truly surprised on his
first meeting with the gnome, stating Rensig is something much more than he
appears. Balister also pointed out some of The Giant’s Legion’s influence by
showing the closed and boarded up Dretta’s Wigs, but seemed to have less
information on everything else, though Balistar certainly had some theories. He
spoke of his connection to The Company of Eight, and you informed him of part
of your connection to the former adventuring group as well via Bucky and Dorn's lineage. You not only visited
the Bargain Books part of his store but the Amazing Antiques as well and ended
up buying a few magic items and non-magic books. The session ended with talk of
following up with the professor and seeing about completing the mission he had
mentioned a couple of weeks earlier.
