A Secret Assailant

"**A Secret Assailant**" is a TikTok video posted by Capwithoutacountry on 29 September 2023.

## Transcript

"The seventh session of the Lost Mine of Phandelver campaign is officially upon us, airing tonight at 9:00PM Eastern time, 8:00 o’clock Central, and I will be streaming my side of that session here in order to direct viewers over to TanisJr93’s channel on The Purple App. Having defeated the traitorous mage Arnim Albrecht and cleared the headquarters of the Redbrand ruffians in the basement below Tresendar Manor, the party spent a day recuperating at the Stonehill Inn and becoming acquainted with several newly-acquired abilities. The next morning, we were summoned to the Shrine of Lathander at the center of Phandalin to meet with Sister Grayelle, who offered to bestow the Blessing of the Morning Lord on the party in a show of appreciation for our assistance eliminating the extortionists, and we graciously accepting, each receiving the effects of both the *Aid* and the *Bless* spells for the remainder of the day. As the cleric completed the ritual, we were accosted by half-a-dozen ruffians led by a Halfling mage seeking revenge for the deaths of their accomplices, and we battled the last lingering leftovers of the ruby reprobates that had beleaguered the town; in the midst of the confrontation, our Bard was attacked by a secret assailant, a Drow woman who addressed him by the name of Sawyer and intimated that she had known him more than a hundred years in the past. As the party incapacitated the Rogue, our Bard experienced a seizure as he was overwhelmed by a memory in which he investigated a cavern with the Drow and another woman before being turned to stone, and he woke from the flashback in time to watch the Rogue fatally poison herself with a necrotic capsule in spite of his attempt to save her life......"
Auril

**Auril** – also known as **The Cold Goddess**, **The Frostmaiden**, **Icedawn**, and the **Frost Sprite Queen** – is the goddess of winter. She is seen as being synonymous with the **Queen of Air and Darkness** by some communities of fey, though after the Sundering, the Queen of Air and Darkness was believed to have been impersonating Auril in order to retain followers on Toril.

Born **Aurilandür**, she was originally a fey princess and sister of Titania. She was once confronted by the party of Addison, Lucine, Armamore, and Dharwyn, who successfully banished the fallen goddess back beyond the Divine Gate.

He and the Crownsguard camped with Karsus and Oldman's party, borrowing their group's prison wagon to hold the criminal overnight before returning to Nogvurot the next day. Aboukir collected 50 gold from starosta Brumae Luddie before being approached by Karsus's party, who requested that he lead them across the Silberquel Ridge in order to shorten their journey to Zadash.

Caustic Quagmire

"**Caustic Quagmire**" is a TikTok video posted by Capwithoutacountry on 18 July 2023, and the nineteenth installment of *The ReCap*.

## Transcript

"The eighteenth session of the Wildemount campaign known as *Mountain of Mystery* is officially upon us, airing tonight at 9:00PM Eastern Time, 8:00 Central, and I will be streaming my side of that session here in order to direct viewers over to TanisJr93's channel on The Purple App. Successfully defeating the last of the squad of Kobolds, our Tiefling discovered a shocking feature of her late father's daggers, and our Druid convinced the creatures of the marsh to lead the party as far as the border of a corrupted area deeper within the Swamp; we proceeded from there into the caustic quagmire of Ätzend Moor, where we confronted a pair of Kobold War Machines that promptedly sounded an alarm. Our Cleric obliterated one with an eruption of lightning while our Monk managed to commandeer the other, during which the ebony dragon Umbrah emerged from the acidic pits to join the battle, greatly injuring our Druid and our Genasi with its devastating breath weapon. Our Mammothari then delivered a brutal series of psionically-amplified attacks, wounding the creature severely enough that it abandoned the fight and fled back into the Swamp, after which our Goliath persuaded the surviving pair of Kobolds to lead our party to the lair of their master. Navigating the remaining War Machine through the marsh around the dragon's many traps, we arrived within fifteen minutes at the mouth of a cavern..."
Bracelet of Captivation

The **Bracelet of Captivation** was a piece of silver jewelry infused with a magical curse that caused anyone who wore it to become trapped in a dreamworld in which they lived out an idealized fantasy life, with their memories of the real world instead feeling like a dream.

Someone trapped in this dream-state experiences the passage of time at a rate of roughly four hours in-dream per second in the real world, meaning that one year passes in about 36 minutes, ten years pass in about six hours, a century passes in about 2½ hours, and a millennium passes in about 25⅓ days.

The Bracelet was discovered by Aoife Quinn in the lair of a Crystal Dragon after the creature was destroyed by her, Laurel, Kara, and Leader.

Act of Contrition

**"Act of Contrition"** is an extended scene taking place off-screen after the events of "A Night at the Empyrean" and during the final events of "Through Times Like This," involving a conversation between Kahlan Karsus, Lazarus Oldman, and Sado Thuliaga. The scene was conducted on Discord.

## Summary

Returning to the inn after participating in open fight night at the Empyrean Arena, Kahlan buys drinks for Sado and Lazarus to thank them for agreeing to fight her. The three of them toast their performances, and Lazarus congratulates Sado again on nearly defeating a member of Vox Machina before observing that Kahlan fought as though she was trying to punish herself. She insists that they continue the conversation outside, and he accompanies her into the alley beside the building where she demands to know what he meant; he explains that he heard her think "*Hurt me*" during the fight, and she confesses that she believes she deserves to be hurt "to pay for the things [she has] done."

Lazarus assures her that she has already paid in advance given the traumatic events she suffered as a child; she insists that her father told her that "those who do terrible things must be held accountable," and Lazarus counters that "those who can't forgive themselves for their mistakes will eventually destroy themselves with them." Kahlan admits that she wishes that she had died rather than her parents, claiming that she brought them nothing but hardship, and Lazarus responds by using his Psychic Whispers to telepathically connect with her and push back the emotional storm churning through her mind and transfers the last of his natural healing magic across their mental connection.

He then reveals that she was born a Tiefling due to a deal made by her father "with the only being that was willing to stand against impossible forces"; Aodhin had offered his own life, but the being wanted a champion instead, and the payment was deferred. Kahlan misunderstands, assuming that Lazarus is telling her that Aodhin was the champion of a god, and he clarifies that when she was born a Tiefling, her father believed that *she* was meant to be a champion due to "a deal once made with something he called The Princess of the Night." Kahlan finds the notion unfathomable, insisting that she's "barely a pit fighter," but Lazarus counters that she, like every member of the party is "only beginning the rest of [her] story," explaining that her parents never doubted it and were willing to do anything necessary to ensure that she got the chance to find out.

Kahlan then realizes that Sado had overheard most of the conversation, and though he admits that he is "not very good with emotions," he offers to spar with her any time she wants "to subdue the pain... or to access the feeling of pain as a motivator."
Balgrim Rockward

**Balgrim Rockward** was a Duergar soldier serving under Queen Grandolpha Muzgardt of the Muzgardt Clan.

He assisted the party of Falidus, Lucine, Armamore, Dharwyn, and Vellum during their battle against Xardorok Sunblight, with assistance from Huldur and Dragonet.

Archery competition mechanics

An **archery competition** generally consists of eight characters – any interested players and enough NPCs to fill eight positions – engaging in three rounds of competition: a quarterfinal, a semifinal, and a final faceoff.

Each archer rolls three ranged attacks per round, adding their ranged attack modifier (Dexterity for ordinary archers, Charisma for Warlocks using an Improved Pact Weapon). The four competitors with the highest cumulative scores in the first round advance to the second round, and roll three new ranged attack rolls; the two competitors with the highest cumulative scores in the second round advance to the final round, and roll three new ranged attack rolls.

The competitor with the highest cumulative overall score, adding together all three rounds, is deemed the winner.

Scoring is as follows:
Ceations

**Ceations** are aquatic humanoids living on the world Telluria.

When in their aquatic habitat, they are humanoid from the waist up with pale skin. They have beautiful, scaled tails that differ in color and shape, depending on what kind of water they live in and where in Telluria they are. Ceations are able to change their tail depending on their environment, and can even change their tail into legs, to be able to walk on land. They also have the ability to speak with any creature or being in Telluria.

Ceations were created by a God of Protection as keepers of the seas, rivers, and other bodies of water around Telluria. They have no known life expectancy, as each Ceation, if killed is given the chance to return to its body by the God that created it. If it chooses to be done with living, its spirit moves on, and its body returns to water. But if it chooses to go back, it will keep living until the day it decides that its purpose has been fulfilled, or it tires of living on this plane of existence.

They have the ability to heal themselves and others and are compassionate and empathetic creatures. They are fierce protectors and will defend any helpless being that finds itself in peril or at risk of losing its life. Their biggest enemies are Cirens, which prey on sailors, luring them in before impaling them with their sharp tails and pulling them to the depths of the sea or lay their eggs in.

Ceations are androgenous and unable to bear children. Some find companionship within their species, but each is connected to a soulmate that is not of the same species as them, and many with seek out the reincarnations of their soulmates through the ages. Many choose to protect their soulmates from a distance, not directly interfering with their lives, whiles others will make themselves known, and live out their soulmate's days with them, until they pass.

They will usually stay near or in some area of water, sometimes befriending sailors and anyone who lives on or near the water.

Since the time of their creation, many Ceations have moved on to be with their creator. It is unknown how many are left in the world, as sighting of these amazing creatures have become less and less as more time goes on. There is believed to be a Ceation living off the southern coast of Meganesia.
Arcane Filaments

"**Arcane Filaments**" is a TikTok video posted by Capwithoutacountry on 19 September 2023, and the twentieth-seventh installment of *The ReCap*.

## Transcript

"The twenty-fifth session of the Wildemount campaign known as *Mountain of Mystery* is officially upon us, airing tonight at 9:00PM Eastern Time, 8:00 o’clock Central, and I will be streaming my side of that session here in order to direct viewers over to TanisJr93’s channel on The Purple App. Having teleported back to the capital city of Rexxentrum, the party returned to the Brawlers Hall where we initially met three weeks prior, and our Druid used her Pipe of Smoke Monsters to reenact our battle against the ebony dragon Umbrah; our Tiefling then defeated a Dragonborn challenger in a fight pit, after which our Goliath successfully defended his title in a three-on-one brawl against a Drow, an Elf, and a Triton. We returned to The Crow’s Nest tavern, where our Druid spoke with the Kenku Jingles about her concerns regarding her inability to properly articulate her father’s true name. The party retired for the evening, waking the next morning to discover our Tabaxi’s mama and uncle in town, after which we were approached by a certain human wizard and former patient of the Vergesson Sanatorium, who sketched a surprisingly meticulous map of the exit route he had once taken to escape the asylum. While he did, our Sorcerer learned that her father’s brother blamed the rest of the party’s parents for the death of his twin, and hadn’t been seen since the day that our Tabaxi was born, and our Rogue and our Fighter visited the crown prince of the Dwendalian Empire, informing him of their destination and their intentions there in the event that they did not return within a week. They then rejoined the party shortly before our Zemnian ally conducted a ritual to teleport the group once more through the arcane filaments of the Weave of Magic..."
Brokenveil Tunnel Battle

The **Brokenveil Tunnel Battle** was an armed confrontation between the Righteous Brand and a squadron of Kryn mercenaries that occurred in the tunnels beneath the Brokenveil Bluffs on the continent of Wildemount in 825 PD.

After receiving word from one of their Changeling spies, Commander Aodhin Karsus led a platoon of 24 Dwendalian soldiers into a newly-discovered tunnel, where they were ambushed by a squad of Kryn mercenaries.

*For the version of the character in* From Barovia With Love, *see Strahd von Zarovich*

After having perpetrated great cruelties on the people of the town of Slaghtaverty in the parish of Errigal in Londonderry, he was at last vanquished and slain by the neighbouring chieftain Fionn Mac Cumhail. Abhartach was buried in a standing posture, but the very next day he appeared in his old haunts, more cruel and vigorous than ever. And the chief slew him a second time and buried him as before, but again he escaped from the grave, and spread terror through the whole country.

## Transcript

"The nineteenth session of the Wildemount campaign known as *Mountain of Mystery* is officially upon us, airing tonight at 9:00PM Eastern Time, 8:00 Central, and I will be streaming my side of that session here in order to direct viewers over to TanisJr93's channel on The Purple App. Having arrived at the cavern at the center of Ätzend Moor, the party confronted another squad of Kobolds, battling them with their own War Machine until the ebony dragon Umbrah returned to the lair; the dragon was subsequently defeated when our Sorcerer teleported onto its back and delivered a devastating attack with a sword of shadows through which our Cleric cast a bolt of radiant lightning. In the aftermath, a container from the creature's hoard broke open, releasing a small bead of pure darkness; our Druid attempted to help our Sorcerer return it to its case, and both of them fell promptly unconscious, confronting what they realized was another fragment of the Abyssal monstrosity's multiversal consciousness, which attacked itself to our Druid after recognizing a fraction of itself within her. Our Sorcerer managed to locate the darkness attempting to infect our Druid and remove it, returning the bead to the container, after which we harvested the dragon, recovered the hoard, and vacated the cavern. Making camp for the night, we were visited by the Reaper calling itself Endless, who instructed us to deliver the case and its contents back to Zadash; he also explained to our Tiefling that the blade of her late father's dagger was in fact an artefact that predated the Cataclysm, making it more than 800 years old, and intimated to our Druid that her father, who she believed to be dead, is in fact not. Retiring for the evening, our Cleric experienced a vision in a dream in which he saw his father being rescued from a horde of infernal creatures by the mothers of our Monk and our Aasimar..."

"The twenty-third session of the Wildemount campaign known as “Mountain of Mystery” is officially upon us, airing at 9:00PM Eastern Time, 8:00 o’clock Central, and I will be streaming my side of that session here in order to direct viewers over to TanisJr93’s channel on The Purple App. Having witnessed the members of the elder party transfer their powers into a Celestial sphere, we retired for the evening and experienced our own shared dream in which we were collectively visited by the Stormlord, who indicated that our Cleric’s mother is currently imprisoned in a sanatorium located in the Pearlbow Wilderness, along with our Druid’s father. During breakfast the next morning, the parties were approached by the silver dragon Gideon in the guise of a young boy, who informed them that the extractions of the Abyssal shards is to be overseen by the Council of Five dragons who originally donated the eggs. Several members of our party then inherited a selection of celestial artefacts to aid in the task of recovering and eradicating the fragments of the multiversal monstrosity, and we learned that the egg hidden by our Goliath’s mother is located on one of the Eyes of the Lake, an island in southern Xhorhas currently populated by a local cult that worships a forgotten god. Deciding to first liberate our Cleric’s mother and Druid’s father, we bought horses and headed north while our Mammothari Fighter chose to remain in Trostenwald in order to help guard the now-largely-defenseless Protectors of the Scales. Within the next two days, we passed through the town of Alfield, which had recently suffered attacks by a pack of gnolls, and continued north into the next evening, encountering an encampment of creatures at an abandoned farmhouse on the fringes of the Strahlend Fields..."

"**Coldlight in the Spine**" is the fourth episode of *Queen of Cold and Frost*, played on airing on July 20th, 2022.

The session was DMed by Adonvel and hosted on his server on Discord.

## Summary

*...continued from session three*
Delivering Garret and Boy back to their home, the party is treated to a home-cooked meal and several rounds of tea and mead, and they tell Keegan the story of how his husband delivered the killing blow to a Yeti with a single arrow, calling him Garret Yetisbane. Having lost the taste for adventure, Perilou pays Garret for the excursion up Kelvin's Cairn as well as giving the party 40 gold pieces for rescuing her, and leaves for Bryn Shander; Keegan also offers the party four of his own scrimshaw carvings in the shapes of a bear, a narwhal, a rabbit, and a knucklehead trout. Lucine claims the narwhal.

The party is soon visited by Vellum, a representative of the Speaker of Bryn Shander, who delivers a plea for any willing adventurers to help the city stand against the Duergar warlord Xardorok Sunblight, who has established a fortress in the mountains of the Spine of the World for the purpose of launching an assault on Ten-Towns; the Speaker is offering a reward of 500 gold pieces for the defeat of the Duergar. The party accepts the offer and returns with Vellum to the Luskan Arms, where Dharwyn gives the Yeti horns to Owenn for display above the bar. Armamore surreptitiously determines which rooms at the tavern are being used by Speaker Naerth, and the party settles in for the night.

The next morning, Keegan returns the breastplate that Dharwyn had lent to Garret, which he now gives to Armamore. The party sets out with Vellum on two sleds and heads south along Ten Trail, past Bryn Shander toward the Spine of the World; they divert along a spur path at the foot of the mountains and proceed into a wooded area where they make camp for the night. Lucine's watch passes uneventfully, but Falidus's watch is interrupted when a Coldlight Walker attacks the party's encampment. Falidus and Lucine take heavy injuries and Dharwyn is temporarily blinded; Falidus retaliates with a flurry of psychic daggers, Lucine reacts with a *Shatter* spell, Armamore strikes the Walker with a *Guiding Bolt*, and Dharwyn delivers the killing blow by driving his Greatsword through the creature, pinning its corpse to the ground.

The party rests and recovers; Dharwyn's watch passes uneventfully as he places his blade in the fire again, and as dawn should be breaking, Armamore spots the tail end of a winged creature passing across the sky with a trail of night following behind it, covering over the sun as the rest of the party wakes for the day.
