Session 28 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 28** begins on the 17th of Sun's Dusk 749 and ends on the 17th of Sun's Dusk 749.

## Notes

**17th Sun’s Dusk 749**

* Flo brought her whole goddamn crew to the tavern to meet with the party. Rented out a room for everyone to have a meal together. Attended the same monastery as Sparrow until its “untimely demise”. Says that her job as a Maegis is to protect an artifact she has with her, stay alive, and live her life.
* Celestina didn’t trust Flo with anything. Flo says she doesn’t know anything about her death. Thinks that Celestina must’ve done something she shouldn’t have if she’s died. Says that no one likes Marigold except Gale who’s daft.
* Inquisitor Alabaster - a name that Sparrow brings up. Flo wants privacy to speak with Sparrow at the mention of the Inquisitor.
* Marigold is a bitchass motherfucker who tricked Sparrow into helping her blow up their monastery. Sparrow named herself because Marigold would call her “her little sparrow.” Marigold told Sparrow that she wouldn’t have been able to do it without her. Sparrow couldn’t deal with what happened and so she fled. Flo marches out of the meeting room to chuck a chair at Trey abruptly.
* Flo hands everyone a Sending Stone that will allow a brief message to be sent to her if they make contact with Marigold.
* Flo’s favorite Maegises are: Virok (the most fun to drink with, wise); Allusa (kindred spirits, both have a taste for chaos); Serenesis (Flo blushes when talking about her, closest with her).
* The crew seem to have a large amount of respect and admiration for Flo as a captain. Some of the crew seem to be talking about the Alliance and talking about the Smoking Sea (an ocean perpetually clouded in fog), things they’ve found, creatures they’ve faced. The ship is state of the art and very capable of defending against strange creatures they’ve encountered there. They made an attempt, sometime during their 3 years of sailing, to travel to something they call The Last Islands. They seem to be a series of islands in the very southwest of the world that no one has set foot on. The Last Islands are considered the last bit of unexplored territory nearby. After the Ringed War they were considered lost to the seas.
* Someone (Alfie?) snitched to the guards and pointed the guards to come searching the bar for the thieves. The Rose’s Thorns failed to insight a riot against the guards, but did start fighting anyway. An unknown crew started focusing on the Thorns to try to deal fatal damage.
* Used Revivify on Poe after she was killed by the unknown crew of shadowy aggressors. Has shown, for some reason, that she can successfully bring people back to life after hearing that it shouldn’t be able to be done.
* Meeting Nyssa near an herbalist to regroup and rest.
Session 57 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 57** begins on the 24th of Sun's Dawn 750 and ends on the 25th of Sun's Dawn 750.

## Notes

**24 Sun’s Dawn 749**

* Aboard the Dust Trail, the Thorns are introduced to Poe’s Deck of Many Things.
	+ Poe pulls one card: is able to determine a creature’s ultimate destiny.
	+ Madaine pulls two cards: is allowed to choose one rare or lower item; all memories of past are erased and blocked out by shadowy elements that are recognizable as part of the Shadowfell.
* Evie permanently sacrifices 1 first level slot and 1 fourth level slot to restore some memories from her perspective.
Session 25 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 25** begins on the 14th of Sun's Dusk 749 and ends on the 14th of Sun's Dusk 749.

* Blood Witch, accompanied by a strange pig monster, was doing a blood ritual and filling a box with blood of villagers. The villagers have been left as drained husks with no blood.
* Gale fought flying pig monster.
* Killed every blood ritualist except for one fanatic who was knocked unconscious.
* Found two survivors, could only help one. Chose to help a young human woman in her 20s.
* Upon awakening the fanatic, he says that there was a lot of blood needed for the box because it was impure, weak blood. The box is a vessel to hold power. The box is one of many. The fanatic is devoted to the Prince of Blood.
Session 10 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 10** begins on the 28th of Frost Fall 749 and ends on the 28th of Frost Fall 749.

## Notes

**28th Frost Fall 749**

* Signs of someone having wanted to hastily move on from the room. Books thrown around haphazardly.
* Sussy Poe can see in the dark with darkvision.
* Indistinct voices coming from below
* Corpses were whispering in a lower chamber? Silence once the chamber is entered. All corpses look as though they were sucked dry of life magically, all wearing robes.
* Symbols found on the firbolgs, and associated with the bodies in the Athenium Outer Branch, is a symbol that appears in times of great strife. It often appears in/on massacres of outlier groups. No one can attribute it to a particular group- but it always appears when things get rough. Referred to sometimes as the Symbol of Bloody Death or Eye of Blood.
* A series of tubes that go from the floors to the ceilings.
* Circles of Druids are just collections of similarly powered druids with similar priorities/tenets. Don’t recognize Circle of Shadows.
* Druid Circles who did join the cause during the Ringed War: Circle of the Land, Shepherd, Spores, Stars, Wildfire, Forged, and Primeval
* Druid Circles who did not join the cause during the Ringed War: -Circle of the Moon, Disappeared?, -Circle of Shadows- Working with the Gods and Demons?
* Princess Celestina had a solution that she referred to as the Final Solution. She said it would be unveiled in the peninsula.
* Evie doesn’t know which circle she is exactly. But she now has a book containing all kinds of lost knowledge of druid circles.
Viric

>    *"V is for VIRIC, the color of shallow sleep. It will be the last thing I see in this life, dammit, if I've anything to say about it."*
>
>

A color of the Dreambow, viric, the counterpart of peligin, is the color of the "unknown known". It is the knowledge of the perceived disregarded; of wanting to sleep for another five minutes rather than investigate the strange sound from the other room; of dreaming larger than the threats you face, blissfully ignorant of their potential. These are the dreams that blind you, in a comfortable stupor, to the world around you.

## Properties

When viric light comes into contact with vegetation, it causes it to flourish and grow at an exponential rate. Creatures that are exposed to this light often find themselves both physically and mentally fatigued, and want nothing more than to rest. Continuous exposure to viric light can put a creature into a permanent slumber with blissful, relaxing dreams.

## Uses

Clothing that is dipped in viric light has a tendency to put all those around the wearer in a state of suspended animation, as if on the edge of a nap. They never remember there was anything odd about the sight.

## Other Locations

Within the Material Plane, viric light can be found in abundance within the Viridian Expanse of the Lands Beyond.

Those who travel too deep into this expansive jungle will more often than not pass out along their journey, due to the excessive viric light. They awake only to find themselves at the edge of the jungle once again, seemingly unharmed.

Due to its close proximity to the Viridian Expanse, the inhabitants of Laidun are generally more relaxed, more easygoing, and all-in-all lazier than the rest of the Alliance. They make up for it in fertile fields with bountiful harvests, as the viric light enriches the fields across the realm.
Session 4 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 4** begins on the 14th of Frost Fall and ends on the 15th of Frost Fall.

## Notes

**14th Frost Fall 749**

* Snow Maiden mother muttering: “Death. Blood. Cultists. Run.” in a loop. Daughter snow maiden muttering: “Help”
* After burying Nomaris and his family, it seems that the village is more at ease and at rest. The fog concealing the village has dissipated.
* Able to travel for a little ways and then spend the night in a cave. A penguin visits.

**15th Frost Fall 749**

* The whole party is blowdarted and knocked out. Promise has been stolen away by some old bitch. Fuck that lady.
* Decrepit old lady killed Madaine, threatened to do it again, and mentioned the twins would enjoy playing with Promise. Left a raven feather in Madaine’s hand.
* The Raven used to be in service of Queen Celestina. Anyone who tries to find out more about her is killed.
* In the Dominion, twins are celebrated.
* The most famous “The Twins” that are known to Sparrow are two dragonborn twins mentioned by the voice upon reawakening.
* Tieflings are publicly tolerated in the Dominion. In the Alliance, they’re publicly denigrated.
* Big ashen coated dire wolf with bright blue eyes leads the party into their home. Lots of wolves, dire wolves, tigers in this den. The den almost looks unnatural with the rock spires here.
* Giant Winter Wolf, 8 to 9 feet tall. 12-13 feet long. Is a telepathic wolf lady. Her name is Armana, Winter Wolf of the Tundra.
* The problem with Tiuca Forest lies with the guardian of the forest. The guardian is called Docilean, a giant caribou with a single horn. Protects the forest from those who may upset the balance of the forest. Armana protects the balance of the tundra.
* Lots of negative magical energy seeping from the forest. The hunters were given an anonymous bounty to hunt down a one-horned caribou and they would be paid mass sums of currency for his head. BAD HUNTERS.
* These goddamn hunters fucked up the balance of the forest for a bounty.
* Dark, cursed energy from the forest. Enter forest, figure out what happened, fix whatever possible. Reward from Armana if we can correct the natural order.
* New Soulstricken. Blonde, human looking, named Poe. From Geminis about 48 years ago. Asked about Promise and it left her shaken a little bit. Suspicious. She was in school. Studied arcane arts. Got in some trouble with the law and now is here. Denies that she has sister.
Session 43 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 43** begins on the 13th of Sun's Dawn 750 and ends on the 16th of Sun's Dawn 750.

## Notes

**13th Sun’s Dawn**

**14th Sun’s Dawn—16th Sun’s Dawn**

	+ Tressym (Bobcat)
	+ Fleece Mane Lion
	+ Nyx-Fleece Ram
	+ Aurmvorax
	+ Aurumvorax Den Leader
	+ three relevant dinosaurs - weird plains
* Weird ruins with an Archonian teleportation circle. A faded campsite on the edge of the ruins with scraps of robes. There’s a note with the robes that says:

> To anyone who finds this letter,
>
>
> Let this serve as a warning: beware the world of the Lands Beyond. Outsiders are no more welcome here than a lion in the arctic.
>
>
> Not only are its denizens dangerous, but it seems as if the land itself is bent on challenging me.
>
>
> But, with my years of experience as a Scholar, particularly in the field of Archon, I know whatever that magic circle holds has a solution to my current predicament.
>
>
> Whether or teleports me to a safe location or not, it is certianly better than being on the edge of Caranam, being pestered by demons every single day.
>
>
> If anyone finds this, be not afraid to follow in my footsteps.
>
>
>
> Lest this land consume you, as it has so many others.
>
>

* Myria starts to trace the teleportation circle runes and then a couple of magical defensive statue appear to defend the area from intrusion.
Session 61 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 61** begins on the 26th of Sun's Dawn 750 and ends on the 26th of Sun's Dawn 750.

## Notes

**26 Sun’s Dawn 749**

* Madaine does speak with dead with the ultroloth

1. **How do we open the portal?**: Vrock sacrifices.
2. **What's on the other side of the portal?**: Pazunyal, plane of infinite portals. Home of Pazuzu.
3. **How do we return from the other side of the portal?**: The master must allow departure or the portal must be kept open.
4. **How do we maintain the portal?**: The continual strength of a thousand sacrifices.
5. **How much blood is needed from each sacrifice to open the portal?**: The blood of four worthy worshippers or the strength of the Queen's blood.

* Trey is somehow able to open the portal on his own with just his blood.
* Tribus says, quietly, "Tell them I say hi.” to the Vrock before chucking him into the portal to die.
* After being able to navigate into the prison, the Thorns are able to haphazardly retrieve a feral Flo and weakened Gale to get them out of the tower. Tribus clears enemies coming towards them as everyone else escapes on Evie as a flying killer whale.
Session 66 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 66** begins on the ?? of Sun's Dawn 750 and ends on the ?? of Sun's Dawn 750.

## Notes

**28 Sun’s Dawn 750**

* After conversation with Tereszt (GM IC chat), the group has downtime. Trey talks with Makanisi to get some Animancy tutoring. Poe attempts to look into Trey’s past to check if Irene was there, but doesn’t find any success on the first try. Evie tries off some fey wildshapes to bother Sparrow and sneak up on her. This works 1/4 times.
* Scry upon Ali: it succeeds. All that comes up is a dark room. This room is a cell, one of those used at the Corvos Academy. This is one of the solitary cells.
* Scry upon Dava: it succeeds. She is perched on a cliffside, looking out at a large expanse of flat ground. Looks like she’s watching the horde of undead, demons, and angels as they move across the land.
* Zinren is buff as hell and decked out in magic items. He has a buzzcut?? Why?? He’s currently in the Bastion.
* Scry: Sparrow’s dad is working a soup kitchen line handing out food.
* The building eventually stops moving which is strange. Cracks begin to form in the center of the arena of this place.
* Deadcilean ruins the building the everyone was taking a rest in and then taunted the party to come hunt him down further in the Feywild. Probably a trap to lure us into his lair so he can use lair actions but what can really be done about that?
* Chase Docilean into the Feywild forests, run into some Gloamwings and their Nightveil Specter riders. Able to kill them.
Session 67 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 67** begins on the ?? of Sun's Dawn 750 and ends on the ?? of Sun's Dawn 750.

## Notes

**?? Sun’s Dawn 750**

* Docilean keeps repeating “Consume” to himself in all of the languages that he knows. It’s like he’s repeating a command that someone told him at some point.
* Sparrow punches Docilean to death
Scroll of the Blood Moon

**Forbidden Text Entry #16: Scroll of the Blood Moon** was a document found in the Vault of the Forbidden Texts located in the Sutherlands Subdivision of the Athenaeum.

It contained two spells that could be learned:

* Corrupt Beast
* Gentle Madness of the Blood Moon

## Description

A weathered scroll that features one umbilicus on each end of it. Two black knobs are affixed on the ends of each umbilicus, detailing a carved symbol of a dark sun. The scroll’s inner parchment is lined with a slightly reflective material that feels almost metallic to the touch. The material of the inner parchment emanates a faint red glow, one that makes your mind start to turn over on yourself. Strange symbols, written in the celestial language, cover the inner parchment.

## Contents

FORBIDDEN TEXT ENTRY #16 - SCROLL OF THE BLOOD MOON

ENTRY BY: DAKATH QIRORA, CURATOR

ENTRY DATE: 2335 SC

THIS TEXT IS BEING ENTERED INTO THE VAULT BECAUSE SO FAR, I HAVE FOUND NO WAY TO DESTROY THE DAMNED THING. CALLING UPON EVEN THE MOST FEROCIOUS OF MY WILDFIRE POWERS DOES NOT EVEN LEAVE A MARK ON IT, NOR DOES SUMMONING THE BLADE OF FLAME FROM MY OLD WAND HAVE ANY EFFECT EITHER.

THREE NIGHTS AGO, A BLOOD-RED MOON APPEARED IN THE SKY. OR RATHER, TWO MOONS, AS IT APPEARS A PIECE OF MENSIS HAD SPLIT OFF FROM THE GREATER WHOLE. THOSE THAT WERE UNDER ITS GAZE BEGIN TO RUN WILD, AS IF THEY HAD LYSSA DISEASE. THEY SPOKE IN A STRANGE TONGUE, AND WOULD NOT LISTEN TO REASON. WHAT’S WORSE IS THAT THE BEASTS FROM THE NEARBY FOREST BEGAN TO MUTATE INTO MONSTROUS CREATURES, BESETTING NEARBY VILLAGES, TEARING THEM AND THEIR INHABITANTS APART.

MOST OF THE STAFF IN THE SUBDIVISION WERE NOT EXPOSED TO THE LIGHT, SAVE ONE. POOR KIVIR, HE NEVER EVEN HAD A CHANCE. HE WAS OUT ON A RETRIEVAL MISSION AT THE TIME, TASKED WITH TRANSPORTING A MAGICAL MIRROR BACK TO THE SUBDIVISION. WHEN THE CHAOS DIED DOWN WITH THE BLOOD MOON’S DISAPPEARANCE, A SEARCH PARTY WAS SENT OUT TO FIND HIM. AS THE PARTY WENT OUT, I MADE A NOTE THAT MENSIS HAD SPLIT TWO. THE ORIGINAL MOON’S LIGHT IS NEARLY FADED, WHILE THE FRACTURED CHUNK STILL SHINES BRIGHTLY.

ANYWAYS, WHILE KIVIR’S BODY WAS NEVER FOUND, THE MIRROR WAS. WHEN THE SEARCH PARTY APPROACHED IT, A FEW OF THEM STARTED TO SPEAK IN THE STRANGE TONGUE THAT HAD SHOWN ITSELF THE NIGHT PRIOR. THEY QUICKLY DEDUCED THAT THE MIRROR HAD SOMEHOW BEEN AFFECTED BY THE RED MOONLIGHT. THANKFULLY, THERE WAS A WIZARD AMONGST THEM WHO KNEW WHAT TO DO. SALUS WAS HIS NAME, A PROMISING ACOLYTE. HE REMOVED THE REFLECTING LAYER FROM THE MIRROR, RESISTING ITS EFFECTS, AND SEALED IT AWAY WITH A BLANK SCROLL HE HAD.

WHEN HE RETURNED WITH IT, I, ALONG WITH SOME OF THE STRONGEST MAGES IN THE SUBDIVISION, PLACES A SEAL AROUND THE SCROLL, CONTAINING ITS POWER. THE SCROLL NOW AWAITS TRANSPORT TO THE PRIMARY ATHENAEUM STRUCTURE, SO THAT THE STRANGE RED LIGHT CAN BE STUDIED FURTHER.

THIS WAR WILL NOT BE ENDING ANYTIME SOON, AND WE’LL NEED ALL THE INFORMATION WE CAN GET.
Session 27 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 27** begins on the 17th of Sun's Dusk 749 and ends on the 17th of Sun's Dusk 749.

## Notes

**17th Sun’s Dusk 749**

* The Wolf and Dragon Inn is a packed, bustling inn located in the Halfling District of Crescent’s Edge. Made of three different floors.
* Purchased some Cook’s Tools from a store called Pete’s Pots and Pans.
* When meeting with Alfie, Sparrow’s fence contact, Evie pretends to be an old woman who has been robbed of her bag of expensive spices (such as saffron for a special rice dish called Paella). Used the name Isidora Fimaris. Said she had been going to cook dinner for her grandkids.
* Heard Flonilhyn’s voice in all of their heads. Flonilhyn is at the Wolf and Dragon Inn and welcomed them to come for a ‘wallop’.
Nyssa Olivero

**Nyssa Olivero** is a wood elf Gloomstalker Ranger. She is a member of the Horizon Walkers. Has a raven animal companion named Muninn.

## Background

Nyssa was in Laidun for a long time and tried looking around for Evie when she disappeared. She couldn’t find Axel or Viic either. Left after a few years and eventually reached the Port Realm of Alasendia. Reached the Dominion and wandered for a while.

She found herself holed up in some backwater city. One day she was leaving the tavern when she saw a hooded figure who looked like a hunter or tracker, and saw he was being followed by some shady figures because he was drunk. Nyssa stalked the muggers and fought them. Afterwards, she helped bring the drunk guy home and found he was in the Gloomstalker Conclave.

She joined up with the Conclave and leads them. Nyssa wasn’t close with her own family and so found a new family in the Conclave.

## Relationships

### Evelyn

Evie’s on-and-off girlfriend of several years. They met soon after arriving at the village after the graduation from Corvos. Had a long burning ‘will they, won’t they’ sort of flirtatious relationship at first as they first started working together. Helped Evie make connections to start out with hunting contracts. Knows that Evie is a changeling and that her siblings are changelings. Doesn’t know the details of Corvos beyond some stories here and there (always thought it was suspicious but didn’t push too hard). Break-ups were always preceded by more prodding questions about Corvos. Nyssa didn’t know that Evie was dead. The last that they spoke, they had a fight, and Nyssa said she never wanted to see Evie again.
Apocyan

>    *"A is for APOCYAN, the blue of hope, which we cling to when all else is lost."*
>
>

A color of the Dreambow, and the counterpart of cosmogone, **apocyan** is the color of the envisioned future. It is the color of possibility and potential; of the pathways of destiny that we conjure and conjecture for ourselves; of the dreams you dedicate your entire life towards. The power of a dream cannot be underestimated, and this color is testament to that.

## Properties

Dreams are often shared between similar groups (ie, animals of the same species, humanoids of the same race, people of the same homeland, etc.). Once a collective of similar dreams becomes potent enough, it has the chance to fully manifest itself within the Feywild, rather than be a temporary fragment. These manifestations glean with an apocyan hue, and embody the aspects of the dream they were conjured from.

R'bar and Owlfred are two such examples of this.

## Uses

Apocyan light can be imbued within a ring to make true the promises of marriage, a deck of cards to ensure a winning hand, or within the blade that will go on to topple an empire.

Fey creatures made of apocyan are often conjured as familiars by wizards.
Session 64 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 64** begins on the 28th of Sun's Dawn 750 and ends on the 28th of Sun's Dawn 750.

## Notes

**28 Sun’s Dawn 750**

* Attempted to use Find the Path but, even with Poe’s letter and the address on it, the spell fails.
* Party meets R’bar, the Giant Lynx. Evie uses her arconian powers to give R’bar a pair of wings like her tressym form has.
* Colors that can be seen in the feywild. Anywhere with these seven colors are dangerous places in the Feywild:
	+ Gant
	+ Viric
	+ Irrigo
	+ Violant
	+ Cosmogone
	+ Peligin
	+ Apocyan
* Fought tree blights and a treewraith.
Session 37 (Starbound Ascent)

## Notes

**11th Sun’s Dawn**

Session 9 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 9** begins on the 27th Frost Fall 749 and ends on the 28th Frost Fall 749.

## Notes

**27th Frost Fall 749**

* The Tavern’s house drink is called Mud. It has particles, is viscous, sort of sludgy.
* Madaine is here! At the tavern!
* Madaine has found some underwater ruins and they seem to be associated with the Athenium and the Raven.
* Madaine has been informed of everything that has happened since the last time that they saw each other.
* Played a game of Fa’uno, lost, and told Sparrow a secret: she’s a changeling.

**28th Frost Fall 749**

* Ventured out to the lake that Madaine had been investigating.
* Glowing blue light at the bottom of the lake with ruins. There’s a stone door, cracked, with blue magic shooting out every so often emitting out at sharp right angles. In the center of the door, in the crack, there’s a hollowed out spot that’s about the size of a forearm where something could fit.
* It’s not a smooth indentation. It goes back at different lengths like the object meant to fit in there isn’t smoothly shaped.
* One pillar with a door. 15 foot tall with a door. The giant shiny rock retrieved from the ruins fit in the door and opened it.
* The water rushed into the open door and sucked everyone in, but Poe was able to cast feather fall.
* At the bottom of the fall was a library. There are scrolls made of paper but are largely - maybe entirely - decrepit and ruined from the water. There are also actual books that seem to be normal leatherbound books. The titles are faded or ruined beyond recognition. Stone tablets with words etched into the surfaces and these are legible.
* Many sources of literature stored in this room of the library. The stone tablets are in Dwarvish. The room seems to be an outpost of the Athenium.
* Tablets talk about variety of subjects, ancient dwarven civilizations within the dominion, different names of cities and towns, the trade between them, records and interactions between towns, one is from an alchemist, talking of creating potions and various combinations, specifically The Potion of Growth, The Potion of Diminution, and the Potion of Stone Giant Strength. Laying out process and ingredients
* Documents also talk about dwarven military strategy. One document is a memorial tablet with different hand writing. They seem to be final words from each individual. A sentence or two describing their life. The calendar is unfamiliar, not PA/Post Ascension. Talks about the Legion of the Dead and how people were joining the Legion of the Dead

## Flavor Text

*The extraplanar invaders of the Ringed War manipulated the fundamental aspects of nature to strike at the heart of nature, in an attempt to awaken Caranam’s core.*

*Such an action was outlawed eons ago, during the formation of this universe; and yet, the higher powers ignored such restrictions.*

*“The red moon hangs low, and beasts rule the streets.*

*Are we left no other choice, than to burn it all to cinders?”*

## Mechanics

Piercing red moonlight, with a presence as thick as blood, shines down upon a Medium or smaller beast you can see within range, causing it to grow and become monstrous. If the beast is hostile to you, the beast can make a Wisdom saving throw to resist the spell’s effects. On a failed save, or if the beast is not hostile to you when you target it, it undergoes the following changes for the duration of the spell:

* The beast’s size category increases by one. If there is a “giant” version of the chosen beast (such as the Dire Wolf, Giant Ram, etc), you may use that creature’s statistics in place of the statistics of the normal beast, so long as the “giant” version has a CR of 2 or lower. If there is no “giant” version of the chosen beast, the beast’s hit points are doubled, and it gains an additional damage die for any attacks it has.
* The beast’s creature type is considered monstrosity.
* The beast is immune to being charmed or frightened.

The corrupted beast is under your control for the duration of the spell. It obeys your verbal commands, and in combat, it acts on your turn each round.

Once the spell ends, the beast does not revert back to its original form. Instead, you just lose control of it, at which point it becomes hostile to all other creatures. To maintain control of the beast, you must cast this spell on it again.
The beast reverts to its original form when it is reduced to 0 hit points, after it is left uncontrolled by this spell for 24 hours, or if the remove curse spell is cast on it.

Gentle Madness of the Blood Moon

**Gentle Madness of the Blood Moon** is a 4th-level enchantment spell. It was originally found in the Scroll of the Blood Moon.

## Flavor Text

*Mensis, Caranam’s chief moon, was fractured in two during the atrocities that took place during the Ringed War, corrupting it with a red as deep as freshly spilt blood.*

*The power required to commit such a crime can only rival a god’s.*

*Attributed to the goddess Selûne, Mensis is believed to be the physical incarnation of the goddess herself. And when the blood moon faded, Mensis’ light had all but faded, too. But even after all these years, Enalé, the fractured heart of Mensis, maintains the moon’s original brilliance.*

*“As the silver moon waxes and wanes, so too does all life.”*

*A mantra even a goddess is not above, it seems.*

## Mechanics

A blood moon coalesces in the sky, shining its horrid light down on a 20-foot radius area centered on a point you can see within range. Any creature in that area must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for the duration.

While frightened by this spell, a creature babbles madly and spends its turns running in random directions. A target can repeat its saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

A shapechanger makes its saving throw with disadvantage. If it fails, it also instantly reverts to its original form and can't assume a different form until it is no longer affected by the spell.
Session 38 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 38** begins on the 11th of Sun’s Dawn 750 and ends on 11th of Sun’s Dawn 750.

* All of the spirit commune talk in a very similar way. Similar cadence, similar airiness to their voice, they all chant in unison.
* Meredith’s sister, Lana, was roped into the spirit commune. Meredith seems to have an obligatory sort of duty to her sister and feels like she needs to find her because its her responsibilities.
The Maegises

**The Maegises** were "created" by Celestina to ensure the successful sealing of the Sealed Sepulcher. If all of the Maegises were to die and their artifacts be destroyed, then the key weapon of the gods would be vulnerable within the Sepulcher. They are essentially a series of keys designed to protect something important.

The **Dreambow** is the collective term for seven colors which originate from the Feywild. They are commonly observed in dreams, hence the name, but rumor has it that they have appeared on the Material Plane, on the fringes of civilization. The origin of the Dreambow is unknown, but academic inquiry has suggested that the colors seem to arise from the aspects of dreams that only exist "at the edge of reality".

That being said, given the accepted notion that the Feywild was, for lack of more fitting phrasing, "dreamt" into existence by Queen Celestina, it begs the question: what hidden truths lurk within in these colors?

Session 6 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 6** starts on the 17th of Frost Fall 749 and ends on the 18th of Frost Fall 749.

## Notes

**17th Frost Fall 749**

* This little possessed beaver’s eyes are extremely small and bloodshot. The bloodshot veins are greenish-black instead of red. Eyes bulging out.
* The beaver is muttering to itself: “consume, consume, must consume. Do not trust, do not trust, consume.” Why so hungry, nothing satiates hunger. Hunger started when hunters came in the forest. Fled to give them space. They consumed what they should have not. Docilean also consumes.
* By end of day have reached the very edge of the actual Tuica Forest. Temperature has risen a little bit. Pitch dark within the forest itself.
* This bitchass had a spell up to conceal himself: pass without trace.
* A lot of humans and orcs in the hunting groups. Just found a suspicious body in a clearing. Wounds were not fresh. Cries for help coming from treetops.

**18th Frost Fall 749**

* Oaken’s wife appears stage left, chased by guardian wolf. It is actually Oaken’s wife. Places the blame on the other hunters.
* Velzum, Oaken’s wife. Hunter. Belzor, the body we found, is definitely dead.
* Docilean now seems to be warped and malformed. Stands on hindlegs. Kills a guardian wolf with a single slice. Picks up wolf body and jumps away.
* Inside Docilean’s den: two bodies of caribou (a two horned female, a one horned male caribou); One horned caribou is greyish white, unique, majestic, clearly dead. Is missing chunks of flesh. Many hunters bodies - 10 of them - all surrounding a spit to roast meat. All hunters partially, brutally eaten. They ate each other.
* “Domain expansion. Ravenous meadow.” from Docilean in Sylvan.
* Jersey Devil sends a telepathic message: “You win this time, Moon Druid. But you cannot stop the shadow setting over the land.”
Session 55 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 55** begins on the 24th of Sun's Dawn 750 and ends on the 24th of Sun's Dawn 750.

## Notes

* The Thorns went to the Ethereal plane to find Cassius. They did find, and temporarily help, Cassius long enough to get information about where Flo and Gale are. They were taken by githyanki into the Astral plane to a prison called the Hollow.
Session 1 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 1** is the first session in the Starbound Ascent campaign. It covers the awakening of the Soulstricken in a tavern in the small village of Wintercoast. The session begins on the 9th of Frost Fell 749 and ends on the 9th of Frost Fell 749.

## Notes

* Bandits have been running amok everywhere in the area around Wintercoast.
* The Dominion is filled with large criminal organizations, fanatic religious groups, and a lot of disruption and conflict.
* The Tear keeps growing stronger every day.
* Soulstricken have been appearing seemingly out of thin air and look just like they did in their first lives. There are a lot of different viewpoints on just what a Soulstricken is: guardians? dark omens? undead monsters?
* Everyone wakes up in the Rising Sun Inn. Madaine, Trey, and Evie wake up in one room together in their separate beds. Promise and Sparrow wake other into another room. The tavern is mostly empty of patrons.
* They had all been found passed out on the floor and the barkeeper, assuming they were all drunk, took them to beds to sleep it off.
* Through conversation, they all realize they believe they're in different years and that the last thing that they remember is dying. Trey and Sparrow are from 739. Evie is from 729. Madaine is from 549. Promise is from 697.
* Madaine is looking for the Athenium which contains knowledge from before the Golden Age.
* Menryas is around the realm in the center of the Kysharran Alliance. Made up of a variety of city states. Every city state functions as its own independent country. They all fiercely value their independence. All very individualistic.
* Clavicus Curio, Lord Matteron - head of military organization - and a Priest are all fighting amongst each other for a position of power in the Dominion.
* Vorg has a gang of goblinoids trying to extort people for protection money because the hunters that usually protect the town have gone missing.
* Leann Forto, an 11-year old child. Has a huge family.
* Bon, blacksmith in Sutherland.
* Vorg is part of a tribe called Pack of the High Cavaliers. Evicted from home territory.
Session 23 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 23** begins on the 11th of Sun's Dusk 749 and ends on the 11th of Sun's Dusk 749.

## Notes

**11th Sun’s Dusk 749**

* Defeated the Psijics and captured the main wizard alive.
* The Psijic says that Poe’s birth is abnormal and she wasn’t supposed to exist. She’s an anomaly and he insists that anomalies are bad. He says that people like Poe are called Deviants or Anomalies.
* Mind, Body, and Soul are separate entities. Souls are energy released back into the universe after death.
* Psijic Guy and his order are indifferent to the hole in the sky. His order predates Celestina and the Ringed War. Has existed for millennia and beyond.
Session 44 (Starbound Ascent)

**Session 44** begins on the 16th of Sun's Dawn 750 and ends on the 16th of Sun's Dawn.

## Notes

**16th Sun’s Dawn**

* Successful fight against guardian statues at the Ruins of Archon.
* Teleportation to an Athenaeum structure. Structure appears to be on the Astral Plane since Trey has detected an odd flow of magic. It seems to be an Archonian storage area.
* Tablets talk about: “The trial of creating the clocktower didn’t go as plan. Once constructed, the urges that the clocktower put onto its users were too great. The replica of the tower, once intact, was dismantled into individual pieces spread across the world so it couldn’t be reconstructed.”
* Madaine has seen Myria in a clocktower after going into Trey’s head.
* Deeper in the ruins, there’s a strange window out into the Astral Plane itself. The building itself seems to just be drifting through the Astral Sea. There are various large structures off in the distance.
* Last room in the structure is another storage area: One of the walls is burst inward as though subjected to an explosion. Empty shelves lining walls. A podium stands in the center of the room. There’s a 2-foot tall clocktower. The clocktower is a magic item.
* Lifting the clocktower seems to open a small study nook with a corpse sitting at the desk. The corpse is a wood elf woman. Wearing monastic undergarments. Has her throat slit. Sparrow knows that this is Master Ferrowind from Altareth. Sparrow knew her.
* Judging from the wound on the throat, Evie determines the injuries are self-inflicted. This doesn’t make sense to Sparrow.
* Sparrow’s questions to Ferrowind after Maddie uses Speak with Dead:
	+ **Q1**: Why did you do this to yourself?
	+ **A1**: Trapped, no way to leave.
	+ **Q2**: What did you find here?
	+ **A2**: An answer, but it was too late.
	+ **Q3**: What did you learn about the clocktower?
	+ **A3**: It was the key to unraveling the secrets of the queen.
	+ **Q4**: How are you here?
	+ **A4**: Escaped. Sent by Cassandra to finish the job.
	+ **Q5**: I saw you beheaded. Was that not real?
	+ **A5**: You are a student of shadow. You should know better.
* During their watch, Sparrow sees a shrieking tall glass of milk being chased by a cookie. Madaine sees regular people canoeing through the sea, grunting. Madaine casts sending to them to ask what they’re doing there. The reply is: “Dominating this race, that’s what!” Their rowboat is soon followed by another competing rowboat. Poe sees the Thorns from an alternate universe.
* Returning to the Material Plane from the Astral Plane, it’s the same day as when the group left. Seconds have passed in the Astral Plane since they left.
* In the distance, there are several figures on horseback riding towards everyone. Traveling in the party’s direction, but not directly towards. Three humanoid figures on horseback, clad in nomadic garb, covered face and backs, different satchels and bags on steeds.
