Session 01

# Session 1 - 2021.10.26

The scene opens with Buckie and The Kid waiting in line to get their tickets to the Witchlight. They attempted to strike up conversation w the two people behind them - a Kenku named Tessa and a gorgeous but somewhat aloof faerie in a fancy silver gown, Aria. Buckie and Kid kept their knowledge and so were asked to bring the people behind them around the fair. Buckie and Kid get butterfly wings that look like Monarchs

## Northwind and Red

They see the treant Northwind and Red his Squirrel. Nothwind throws seeds everywhere. Red has a scary deep voice.

Tessa, Buckie, Kid catch seeds. When Tessa & Kid blow on them, they get a gold coin. Buckie does not, but seems more easily amused by things.

## Mystery Mine

Tessa picks the first stop - the Mystery Mine.

Tessa followed by The Kid followed by Aria followed by Buckie.

first cavern: brooms. Buckie and the Kid fail their saves.

## Enter The Troubador

The Troubador claims he is looking for some paladin goblin who was telling a good story, gradually, he introduces himself.

We see a shadow go over The Troubador, and then zip away. ((his witchlight curse landed))

The Troubador contorts inside his pocket but can't produce enough money to buy a ticket, so he accepts a deal for a ticket: "He must greet everyone with a compliment" He gets a ticket and blue butterfly wings.

-- Buckie rolled a 7. The Kid rolled 4. --

The Troubador's compliments are sorta insults...and the carnival music gets sadder.

They started to go to the hall of illusions, but got distracted by the tent with the faerie dragon.

## Catch The Dragon

* Aria tried to catch the dragon. Failed.
* Buckie did too - won a bottle of witchlight wine.
* Tessa, who got it on the first grab: 2 prizes (toy spider that gives a climb spell once and a replica unicorn horn full of candy).
* Then the Troubador tried, got it right off, won 2 prizes ( witchlight wine, glove puppet wizard that can cast minor illusion) - he drank it all and got tipsy.
* Finally the Kid tried to catch it and failed.

## The Hall of Illusions and Rubin the Halfling

Everyone continues toward the Hall of Illusions. Nearby is Tasha's - a witch known for her hideous laughter. A halfling man named Rubin begins to propose to another halfling, but the lady halfling starts laughing uncontrollably. The halfling man runs away sad. The Troubador demonstrates hideous laughter on the shapeshifter. The group heads in to look for Rubin. The Kid finds Rubin quickly. Rubin is staring into a mirror with a creepy girl who has a pig mask.

Rubin says the girl in the mirror asked if he had any regreats and says he just needs to follow her to fix them. But the kid distracts Rubin from the scene and explains the lady-halfling was under a spell...she does want to accept his proposal. He goes outside and she grabs his arms happily accepting his proposal.
