Season 4: Night Wonders

## Sessions

### Session 1: Down the rabbit hole

The session starts back after the Season 3 DLC: Sweeney hunt with Kingston wandering through the brecillian forest after learning that the Poet-tree might hold the answers to his immortality. There he joins in some merriment with Bella goth and a hermit and they trade questions during their question game (which Kingston totally wins btw.) He learns that the hermit totally fucked up the poet-tree with an axe and that the spirit that was in the tree is now held captive in the queen of heart's court. (Bella follows Kingston around for a few months but eventually she gives up and goes home or to par vollen or somewhere Idk)

Erik is sitting in his room twiddling his dick when he's interrupted by a spirit/demon (she doesn't even knock first, rude as heck.) And she tells him to go help out someone in Caer Oswyn. He says what the hell why not and goes. On the way he meets up with Kingston who received a letter from Douchechanter Aidan who requests his help. On the way there, Erik flirts with Kingston with the smoothest line ever but alas Kingston tells him to come back to him when he's older.

The duo arrive in Caer Oswyn and are greeted by Alice Trevelyan, Douchechanters cousin and Alice Hecate-Trevelyan's namesake. Victoria Hecate also greets them, sending out an army of puppies and begs to come into the fade with the party. Kingston refuses to take her into the fade, like an responsible adult and goes with Alice Trevelyan into a refurbished closet with a magic circle. They find out that there's two demons to look out for, one that's holding Alice (and maybe Sarah and the poet-tree) prisoner, and another one that's hunting her.

Kingston and Erik (going by the name of Walter) enter the fade and are met by Anais doing her makeup for an hour. After she's done making herself look presentable, she presents herself and they follow a white rabbit down a rabbit hole (I'm sure nothing can go wrong.)

They go into an a-door-able hallway full of jars for some reason. They open one of the jars and enter into a plaidweave hell with Sellwynne spouting corporate mumbo-jumbo. Kingston pulls up a rug and more Sellwynne's sprout up like cockroaches. Long story short, Erik ends up in an orgy and Ana burns the place down.

They escape the room and end up on a forest path where a Fennek tells Anais to not trust red haired elves.

### Session 2: Hallway of many Doors (and demons)

Alright, listen fucko. We rejoin the party and they meet a new character: Devola. She turns out to be one half of the elf twins serving Ghilanain. She informs the party that Sarah came through the last door a while ago but now the door doesn't lead to the same place anymore. The party head back and fight a demon and get rick rolled. They rest a bit and bond with each other. After regaining some hp as to not die horribly, the party gets epic prank'd by the cheshire cat. He leads them to the cursed Solaspede who exchange some info for secrets. One rat boat ride and taming a big doggo later, the party find themselves at a tea party where everything is laid out on the table. Alice has created her own world and a demon named Torpor is trying to get in because he wants to posses her. And so its up to the party to defeat Torpor and save Alice. ezpz

### Session 3: The Toybox

The first stage of Alices dream ends up being an amusement park run by wind up toys with clown make up. There the party finds many attractions, competitions and rides (some of which restricted by age groups much to the disappointment of Kignston). The currency of the park were tickets which could be earned by winning competitions, or gambling and then spent on rewards, with the main attraction being the opera house. Kingston and Anais attempted to win some tickets through the games, Anais beating the griffon challenge while kingston beat up some wrestling toys and won a ranged competition. Then Anais and Erik visited a fun house where at one point they were faced with mirrored versions of themselves. Erik and his reflection of course immediately went all over each other with Anais and her reflection getting as far away as possible. At the end of the funhouse was a boat which swayed one way to another at few points being almost vertical. They also helped a toy stuck in the funhouse when it was created get out.

After getting all the tickets necessary they got their rewards with Anais buying a staff, kingston getting the earmuffs and Erik tried to bet a ticket on the wrestler robot fight but he lost it. They visited the inn to check it out finding the spirit that recruited Erik venting about being asked to kill Topor in spite of having no combat ability. She also let them know that to kill that demon for good they'll need its real name and Topor wasnt it. After the inn they visited the opera which was an *Orlesian* opera meaning loud noises, fiery explosions and the audience in the lower seats being brutally slaughtered. You cant convince me thats not what happens. Thankfully our party was mostly safe in the VIP seats only being hit by a stray energy ball once. Kingston was sure glad for his earmuffs.

After the performance they left through the back into the larger dream with a view of sort of Oswin. They went to the chantry as all good Andrastians should and met a hooded sister calling herself a teacher. She had a list of tests which the party would have to pass completely if they wanted to proceed without needing to fight the massive phoenix guarding the front entrance. The tests were unfair and the pass mark is 100% so the 3 of them decided to instead do the myriad of extracullicular activities instead,

### Session 4: The Various Conundrums

The sexy crew arrive at some farmlands and fuck around for a while. They meet a goose, a spirit pretending to be Tamara Hecate and a tall dark souls reference lady who Erik fails to seduce. They look at some birds and blow off a terrorist cat. Erik harassed the phoenix some at the behest of Anais and Kingston who cowered behind rocks. In the end they get to Bella Goth's dream mansion.

### Session 5: Visiting the Goths

Anais and Erik kill (Demon)Cass and her brother. Kingston kills (Demon) Gomez Adams. Qunaris kill memory Tevinters. Memory Tevinters kill kids. Bella asks the party to kill "Hypnos". Also that they can call up Alice if they find something she likes.

### Session 6: Woodland Trip

The party walk through the fade forest towards lake calenhad. They meet a lil' scottish froggie fella that Kingston that kingston instantly adopts. He tells the party that he's on his way to meet Calenhad and Kingston asks him to tag along. Then they scam a statue and Froggie gets kidnapped by a fish. Kingston and Erik go spear fishing and rescue the frog while Anais does her makeup. On their way towards lake calenhad, the party finds "head mage" Irving next to a giant lyrium crystal. He tells the party that there's some no-no stuff going on inside the crystal and asks them to cleanse it for him. The party head inside and bully some red lyrium guys. Then they meet Sandal who's a rock? Then we meet the real Sandal after enchanting the red lyrium idol? And Anais get's an enchanted staff. And onwards they go to calenhad. They'll probably reach him in like 5 sessions tops.

### Session 7: Calenhad and his lake

The party meet a masochist spirit intern, roleplaying as Maferath. He points the way to Calenhad's *camp*enhad and the party sets out through the woods. The party dodge an ambush and arrive at the camp. Calenhad *can't*enhad help the party without them *craft*enhad-ing some magic chanmail and recovering his sword. The party does the chores; they play among us in the circle, feed elfroot to a horse and do some more tests for some wanna-be Avar gods. Anyway, with Nemetos2 and the chainmail, they head back to Calenlad to hopefully finally pass the fade exams.

### Session 8: 5 Sessions of God Damn Fade Chores

Right, no notes time. The party go back to Calenhads camp and return the sword, Kingston gets his ferelden groove on and convinces his great great great great great great great father-in-law to give them Froggy as well as the test answers. The party then remember that they've still got the wanna-be Avar god lady to deal with so they head towards her cottage. On the way they burn some bad puppies with the help of sword puppy and kill a dude who killed a puppy and they get a puppy as a reward. Anyway they talk their way into Tyrda shiny axe's house and speak with her consort lady. She tells them to go commit mushroom genocide, mushroomicide. Kingston convinces most of the dark souls references to walk into the feast willingly and then hugs one of the ones that they told to stay. Then the party head back to the spirit sister test lady and finally get out of this god damn area...only to find themselves in another fade area with a Sellwynne symbol laughing at them from the corner of the map. The session ends with her majesty, the queen of Antiva arriving by boat to greet them.

### Session 9: Too Many Jacks

A new challenger appears: Aenea Trevelyan, here to do magic, stab people, and overcomplicate the family tree further. Aenea is sent into the fade by her sister as backup for the party. As backup, her first course of action is to capsize the party's boat and drown them all. Luckily you can't drown in the fade so they're all just sucked down into a whirlpool. The party were on the boat in order to get to haven over the water, everyone's favourite town. Apparantly you can get to Skyhold from haven and from there to "The Beyond" where Alice is allegedly hiding. The other way to "The Beyond" is through the bad place, where mr torpor is right now.

Anyway, so the party fuck around under the water for a while, they talk to Jack who sends them after Jack who tells them to find another Jack who jack and Jackjackjackjackjcą̵̧͇̱̯̙̯̗̫͇̗͇̳̙̊̃͗̌͊̋̒̄̆̉́͂̄͝͝k̶̛̥͕̱̗͉̥̃̔͂͌̆̽̈́̃̀̈́́̂̉̚j̵̢̢̯̼̼̦͈̱̩͔̩͓͉̥̫̓́̽͋̾͘c̸̢̛̱̦̥̖̩̘̫̈́̔́̾̎͜͝a̸̢̛̖̫͖̝͖͆͂͂̑̓͂͛͆̇̿͘k̶̘̣̟̬̫̱̲͗̓̊̂̓̒͝c̵̲̻̜͚̦̜͚̾̍̒̊̿͌̓̇̚͘̕͜ͅj̸̟̘̄̿̄̋̓̈́̅̃̆̓̊̒̌͛̈ḁ̸̓̽͂̐̓́͌̾̈̍̉̀̃̚k̸̙̐̊̽͊́j̵̨͈͖͍̩̫̑͘͠c̵̯̠͐̋̋́̑͑̀͋͝k̶̢̜̟̬̦̺̂̋̍̄̎́̾̎̀͆͠j̵̛̞̩͚͍̣̳͖̝͍͎̎̉͆͂̎̍̔̀͛̈́͊͌̕ȁ̵̯̭͔̤̠͙̼͌̽͂̋̉̌͗͆͆̈́͂́͠c̷̢̤̺̠̓́̒k̶̡͓͎͉̟̹̈́j̷̨̦̼̠̣͓̞̳̣̩͓̿̈͊ä̵̢͔̱͕̦͚͎̬̤̻͇̯́̅̿͂̽́͒͆̇̽̚͠͝k̸̼̞̭̼̬̦̰̟̖̞̪̭̺̂́̉̇̀̒̈́͊͜͝j̷̲̹̭̙͗͊̀͒̏̎͆͐̕c̷̹̘̫̞̙̯̮͇̱̹̩̜̗̑̍̚͜͝.

And with that outta the way the party float to the surface and immediately sinks again because Alice watched titanic once. The party wash up on square island where all the templars are. Aenea, Anais, Erik and one of the Jacks are captured because they're obviously demons, Kingston uses his bullshitting talents to have a little bizarre adventure™ of his own. The party get a key in some bread from Ethel as well as an invitation to a party. Kingston find a painting man who tells the party to climb a tree #justfadethings.

Kingston goes and sneaks the party outta jail and to the tree. The party reach Tyra's office and climb out of the window. Unfortunately, they're forced to leave the biggest hero of the adventure behind: Kingston's rope ;-;

After shedding a tear for mr rope, the party start running towards the palace across the bridge.

### Session 10: The Art of Navigating Through Awkward Social Gatherings

We really can't have a party without someone dying can we.

So the party is trying to find a ship that'll take them east, but their greatest foe yet stands before them: a boring party. The party meet a bunch'a spirits masquerading as cameos. Erik meets his demon lady, touches a white sign soapstone and is promptly replaced with Emily. Anais gives the soapstone to a servant who is replaced by a little elven girl who introduces herself as Nasa. Nasa chases a cat who turns out to be Alice in disguise, great, search over, we won, woop. Except no, because Alice thinks the party are demons, takes after her aunt-ish Tyra apparantly. In order for Alice to believe that the party aren't demons, they have to convince a spirit masquerading as Ethel that they're human. Ethel is currently at a family gathering at Ostwick and so the party become party to the fact that they must find a way from this party to the next party to at least partly parley with Ethel.

They find Zoe who takes them across the lake, without sinking for once! Things are looking up.

Time for a family reunion

### Session 11: The Family Reunion

Aight been a while, so its haiku time again.

Ethel is a prick

-Party fight the lord Seeker

-Envy demon butt.

Poem from Alice

-Have to go to Skyhold now

-Temple 'splodes again.

Chitchat with Kingston

-Character development

-Skyhold here we go

Have I mentioned that-

-I really really-

-Hate the goddamn fade.

### Session 12: Party up in Skyhold

Hey yall get ready for more fade fuckery.

The party make a plan to find Leliana in order to find out what Torpor's name is. They make a stop at the tavern because someone there might direct them to her. Turns out that the tavern is full of cameos and the party have a grand ol' time mingling with them. Upstairs, the party have a nice chat with Mr Redhair-painting-man in Andraste's room who reveals that his sword was called "Jabberwocky", the party pieces together that the demon Torpor's real name is Jabberwocky. He tells the party that they should try to immobilize Andraste when they try to go to Alice since Andraste apparently can't be killed. Having learnt all this, the party decide to go to Leliana to find a way to the bad place after Patches, a subordinate of Jabbie-fuck. Patches is allegedly somewhere around corypenus so the party head out through the chapel onto a stone path in a forest. There they meet Popola, the sister of Devola. The sisters are working for a mysterious lady who wants Solas dead. Popola asks the party to kill Jabbman without using his name in order to give control of Jabb over to her. In return she and her associates leave Alice the heck alone. The party's plan is now thus: Get patches, then the Jabbster, then Andraste, then get alice and get the fuck outta the fade.

The party head through a portal to Radonis for another wholesome family reunion (also patches).

### Session 13: Dark Souls Cameo and Other Dark Souls Cameo

So turns out Radonis was a whimp and takes like five second to deal with, turns out blood magic can be pretty useful after all. The party almost get tricked by not-Cheshire and have a nice meetup with good 'ol Corpersdsknd. Anyhoo, short story short: Cheshire turns out to be patches and they tie him up. The party take Patches along to a bridge where Flemeth is standing. But Flemeth turns out to be a spirit who turns out to be the examiner from a few sessions ago. She also has a scythe. And she's not super duper stoked about the party helping Popola. She's also using Sweeney hacks because she can't fall off the bridge. Also patches dies. Afterwards Kingston chats with Popo and agrees to help her later in exchange for a meet and greet with her "mother".

### Session 14: The First Final Battle

Ok yall ready for some drama? Some intrigues? Some juicy, dastardly betrayals?

The party summon knight Alice and they head off to finally face mr Jabbersworth. They find the scaley bitch roleplaying as a despair demon. They beat him up for a bit and he transforms into his dragon form. The party beat him up some more and he falls through a rooftop. During the battle, Mercè god damn breaks the white sign soapstone and Alice is replaced by one of the most annoying npc´s I've ever encountered. Him and Sweeney should start a band. Anyway, he's absolutely useless in combat and barely does anything except cause an earthquake that also hits the party.

Feynfuck starts demanding that he does the final strike to Jabberbutt and Kingston tries to stop him because he doesn't trust him. Anais is on Feynriel's side and Popola is on Kingston. Aenea is the mature adult, asking the kids to stop fighting. Kingston eventually relents, letting Feynriel take his dead wife's scarf to use as a gag so that he doesn't say Torpor's real name. Feynriel stabs the demon and makes a tiny little mouth and says the demons name, thus killing it and robbing Popola of it. Kingston is enraged at the betrayal and him and Popola attack Feynriel and Anais. Anea does a ww2 Sweden and stays out of it but supports both sides. Eventually Feynriel shifts the partys perception of the fade and makes them think that they're in the tea party again. The battle continues and Popola escapes when she comes close to defeat. Kingston continues, driven by his anger, and Feynriel begins showing his anger as well, threatening to kill Kingston for real. Aenea finally manages to calm the situation and the tattered party make their way back to Alice, emotions still running high.

The party follow Feynriel to Andrastè and just kinda walk past her (why didn't the Tevinter Imperium just think of that ??). They find themselves in a fade version of Caer Oswin, Alice is now guarded by a grown up Vicky whom she has somehow manifested into the fade. Alice tries to wake up now that the demon is dealt with but she still can't. She still might be trapped by the Queen of Hearts, most likely another demon, she also happens to be in possession of Sarah. To reach and destroy this new threat, the party must recruit the other dreamers: Bella Goth and Valywen. The party set off and Kingston reluctantly puts Cheshire in charge of keeping Alice safe (and away from Feynriel) until they're back.

### Session 15: Not-So Goth Adventure

Alright alright alright. I'm tired so I can't be bothered to try to be funny today.

The party's looking for Bella Goth to help them against the Queen of Hearts. They consider splitting up and having Kingston go after Val at the same time. They ultimately decide that letting the guy who's absolutely lost in the fade to go find someone might not be such a good idea. Feyndick summons a rift and the party head out into the real world as wraiths. They meet up with Bella on Par-Vollen where she's camping out in some old ass human ruins. Apparantly there's a dick dreamer here who she's after.

The party have a good time fucking around with old maps and star signs for a while before heading up to a pyramid next to a volcano. They try to snipe Mr Rabbit who's inside a crystal but unfortunately the crystal is made of asbestos or something and doesn't burn. Mr Rabbit gets all pissy about it and summons a big ol' demon fella who crashes through the ceiling and brings the party down with him. After battling for a lil' bit, Anais blows up the crystal and the demon disappears. Bella promises to help the party against the Queen of Hearts and they all head back to the fade. Kingston and Aenea have a nice time playing hide and seek with Alice. However, Anea notices that she's a lil' sussy and calls an emergency meeting. It turns out that she was the impostor and that I'm having an aneurism writing this sentance.

The fake Alice is actually Vicky who has taken her place while Alice goes off after the queen of hearts alone with her toy chest army. Feynriel goes after Val and the party rush after Alice and the Queen.

### Session 16: False Realm

The party emerge into an odd colourless space of corridors and fog. They find the aftermath of battles between The Queen's card-soldiers and Alice's metal clowns. After following the carnage through a few fog-gates, they stumble upon a battle in progress. After rescuing one of the metal clowns, he gratefully brings them to Alice's war camp where they meet Pascal, a spirit in charge of Alice's forces. Pascal informs the party that Alice isn't there and has gone alone to rescue Sarah.

The party have a lovely time speaking with the spirit figments of Alice's completely healthy mind along with a couple of visitors, Mr Monster and Linda (not to be confused with the dead Rivaini prince or the alive Rivaini prince.) Mr Monster is just a hungry boi but Linda is there on a mission from her mistress Claire to help them defeat the queen. The ragtag war-leaders make some plans in order to infiltrate the Queen's court and turn her demons against her.

### Session 17: Conscription for Infiltration / On feminism and sending people to the void / Conscription and Elrahel's proclivity for sidekick abandonment

Our merry band of travelers plans the demise of the Queen, starting with an impromptu recruiting session done by Anais and Aenea, who by the virtue of being nosy af enter a coffer and emerge in a familiar tavern, now populated by some more mercenaries, some known faces, and some weird faces. Anais plays her quick bullshitting skills and jeweled hand, and Aenea plays her drinking ability and solider brain, and they recruit a bartender, the Chargers, and out of the blue (mirror), the spirit taking the form of Sarah[someone check this I'm forgetting who else we got]. Aenea also met the laziest warrior in existence (regardless of realm): a demon of Sloth who is too lazy to even fight to get back to his lover(red flag much?), who is at the court he was banished from. Aenea promises to tell his lover where he is during the takeover in exchange for the demon warning them if any reinforcements or other troops approach the battlefield.

During Aenea's last round of recruitment, Anais and Kingston discuss the sudden memory loss that came over the old Fade-hating knight and resolve to not mention it to Aenea.

Come out the closet to find out that a battle has been raging and Feynriel is beaten bloody by the sidekick-ditching Elrahel, who runs like the little precious prick he is, after letting the party know of Fen'Harel's goals - to tear down the Veil he once created and "restore" the world. Anais gets in one more magical attack for good measure while he runs away.

Learning that Valywen was taken by the elves during the battle, the party sends the now healed blond to the war camp and set out to rescue the other dreamer. After a heated(and painful) fight against the danger twins Popola and Devola - in which Kingston delivered the unisex hammer of justice and the party did crash tests for the endless void with the twin's bodies -, the team and Valywen return to the war tent. With an infiltration plan now in place, Anais, Aenea and Kingston corner Justice and trick him into going to court with them, 'under the orders of the Queen'.

### Session 18: Infiltrating the Court

The time has come for the final stretch of the party's long long journey through the fade dreamscape; the Queen of Hearts' court.

The party lead their "captive" Justice through the court blockade and into the twisting building itself. Heeding Linda's advice, the three decided on fake spirit personas beforehand. Kingston becomes Wisdom, Aenea becomes Justice and Anais takes on the (totally out of character) persona of vanity. The infiltration starts out swimmingly, they finally get to see The Queen of Hearts and find out that she's homophobic and sex-negative, giving everyone even more reason to hate her (Just imagine if Erik was still here.) Inside the court, the party meet up with a weird spirit of silence and Claire who show them around. They make their to the queen's rose garden where Alice has been carrying out her master plan of painting flowers. Kingston tells her off and sends her back to safety in the care of Bella Goth.

The party get down to planning their next moves. A Mr Tepes is apparently the court architect and as such is their best bet for finding the secret dungeon where Sarah is held. They also discuss some of the other demon families that may be swayed to their side, or at least against the queen. In short, the desire demons are horny and the pride demons are prideful. Additionally: rage demons are hangry and Despair demons are sad. Also: Envy demons are envious and Greed demons are shady capitalist fucks.

### Session 19: Fitin' in

Once the garden was back to normal the group reported back to Mr Tepes who paid them for their work and subtlety. Then probably for the first time in a long time it was decided to split the party. It was a good idea since Aenea wanted to do something to help her fit with the court, whilst Kingston and Anais were clear to try and investigate the Queen and the court members. Claire agreed to tag with Aenea while she helped the IRS track down tax dodgers. Completely in character every demon in the faction of Greed never paid a dime as well as some other careless miscellaneous demons. Their boss, a disturbing mouse the name of which we all know without even needing to utter it was in charge of Greed Demons. But strangely when Aenea started to talk badly of the 90% tax the queen has enforced it changed its tone and gave Aenea a cryptic task of collecting 3 medallions. One from him, other from "Blind Faith" and a 3rd from one of the Queen's hooded bodyguards.

Following this new task set before her Aenea was led to the Desire demon hangout where both of these entities were. Blind faith just gave the medallion away easily, but the bodyguard remained suspicious and gave Aenea a task to acquire the tax exception form the Envy demons have and forge a copy which the Greed demons could use. She did just that but made the rookie mistake of writing like a normal person would which the spirits found suspicious. This made the bodyguard take her somewhere private and make her fess up to being a mortal. Thankfully for Aenea the bodyguard wasn't who they seamed to be and as a show of good faith it revealed its true form and gave her the third medallion, all 3 to be used in front of a statue of Andraste. The Knight Enchanter then went on to finish the tax collection sidequest before moving on.

Meanwhile Anais and Kingston, accompanied by silence were going to the archives. The path passed through the chantry which no one but two spirits used. One that looked like Meredith immediately got on their case asking if they believe in the Maker, letting them pass only once they said yes. Anais question the second spirit - a lamb, about their faith, making them very easily question their faith.

In the Archives the three are greeted by an Archivist who explains how the library works, and that their security system is more sophisticated than in some universities. Some books pop out shadow monsters if opened, others suck you in and make you experience a trial, others just make you feel like shit if opened. There was someone in charge of security who can give clearance but they were unresponsive so the party would need a key to their door. After some initial snooping they did find some stuff they could read without triggering anything and an index which did pop out 4 shadow monsters. But the fight was worth it as the index did have all the books listed as one does. Anais learned that the book on Tepes is upstairs but they didnt see any stairs, and Kingston found a book about some "Order of the First children" but instead of reading it had some idea only he knows.

### Session 20: Eve removed the title on roll20 before I could write the recap.

I'm challenging myself to write this in 5 minutes. Eat my ass.

Team milf and Gdilf are rootin' around in the archives of The Queen when Anais comes upon a tome transporting her into a memory of the past. She witnesses a few Nevarrans doing a smudgeon of necromancy, boys'll be boys amirite? Anyhoo, they trap two spirits in the body of an Amladaris member as a prank but mr cornypuss is not too happy about it. Fucking cancel culture strikes again. The body also looks an awful lot like bird boy who is also Pinnochio maybe.

To rescue Sarah the party needs to get info on Teabags the Impaler(Vlad) but the door is locked so they need a key to the security office but the security office is locked so they need a key from a couple of emo musicians. Kingston goes to do that while Anais has a lil' readsie-poo.

On the way, Kingston runs into Aenea and the two decide to catch and kill a spy cat for funsies. Then they pray to Andraste and their sin is forgiven. They meet an underground gathering of faith spirits who Andraste summoned a while ago. Bird-boy was also summoned but was summoned without the queen so she's pissy about it. The faith spirits lead by the Black Queen want revenge on the Red Queen, and they join forces with the party. Also Alice is building a small chaos dragon in her easy-bake-oven <3 Bevin approves.

Aenea heads to Anais and the two start a book club in the archives based on Disney IPs. They read the half-way family friendly version of Snow White which I had a little trouble following so please someone with more braincells than me explain during the recap. \*included pause for explaining time because I feel like it was important\* -> Eve here: So the book was basically just Snow White but behind the evil milf queen's mirror was Pride being whispered sweet nothings by some shady fuck, they start making the milf jealous of a 14 year old and somehow it works, she tries to kill a teenager but Pride sends shades to kill the hunters. The plot then follows the fairy tale until Snow White dies as the 7 dwarves kill the evil milf and bury Snow White in one of their thaigs as a sign of respect. <- An Envy demon is created from all this which the Pride demon Vores turning it into a part of itself, the demon starts looking like the Queen of Hearts.

Lastly Lieutenant Love embarks on his love quest to bring back the musicians together in the name of romance. The quest hits a roadbump when it turns out that one of the musicians is an impostor and a tree who grabs Kingston's tiddy and neck.

### Session 21: Hitting the books and bookshelves.

Time to speedrun writing the recap lesgooo.

The Impostor tree musician lady opens the locked doors for Kingston. First to the left we haaaaaaave: books. unlocked, not secured books full of lyrics, and some stairs. Upon further investigation, at the end of those stairs stands the true musician/muse, and we find out the impostor was forced to wear a disguising mask. On the right we haaaaaaave: more books. A mini labyrinth of books to be exact. And at the end of said labyrinth, a rainbow, in the form of the corpse of a Pride demon (companies on July 1st am I right?).

While Kingston goes to an ever increasing amount of books and confusion, Anais and Aenea continue their search for keys and clues. Anais interacts with a memory crystal near the statue of the queen and finds herself in one of her memories. She does the rookie mistake of looking down. That's gonna require therapy. From the queen's POV Anais sees a small girl humming and the memory queen approaches the child, wishing to absorb her, but is pushed back and out of the memory when the girl suddenly starts glowing. After another round of memory diving by Aenea and Anais, Silence intervenes and identifies the child as Andraste herself.

Back with mister wisdom, our immortal knight stumbles upon a horse party, more books, some stairs to the 2nd floor and a new memory crystal. Upon climbing to the 2nd floor, he calls out to the rest of the team and they reconvene. More memory crystals are inspected by the party, with Kingston having to witness the queen eating sushi before it's prepared(rip mermaid), and Anais seeing how her possible ancestor(Anais Claudius) shapeshifted into a dragon and tormented her arch enemies and cursed the child of the enemy royals. The child, upon being freed from her curse, turns out to be a demon of sloth, the banished facet of the queen.

Finally in the burning library (also where the sloth's aspect story was found) Anais finds Silence veeeeery familiar. Sus. But confronting the being will come later, and with crowing tactics. The party finds dossiers on multiple dreamers that the queen wants to use for world domination, of which the only 'suitable' one is Alice(good luck with that hyperactive kid).

After old man Kingston manages to open a hole through the floor under him and fall on his ass, the party confronts the last crystal memory that shows them a full on battle. Kingston, forgetting the place and time they're in, immediately joins the fight against Tevinter, at which point Andraste shows up with reinforcements and calls upon the spirits of Faith for help. The battle is a 1 sided slaughter after, and at the end of it Pinocchio swears allegiance to Andraste, choosing to become human and sever ties with the queen.

Infuriated, the queen has him killed, and as Regret his lookalike comes back and forcefully becomes an aspect of the secretly regretful queen. An aspect that she can never rid herself of.

### Session 22: Slaying Envy and Lunacy

It's boss rush time and the Queen of Hearts' aspects are invited.

The party head into Envy's orb and after some careful negotiations, Anais decides to try the Tevinter approach and blasts her in the face with a fire ball. They scrap for a while but the party ultimately get the upper hand. Before she's killed, Envy spills some info about the other aspects and their weaknesses. Since snitches do get stitches, Anais burns her alive as thanks.

After some nice party dialogue between the milf and gdilf, the party go after Lunacy like a hungry pitbull after an unattended toddler. They kill her and her weird explody cats, Kingston approves ++

### Session 23: No clue what its called since no one wrote the recap before Eve changed the name on roll20

Memory is fuzzy but lets go, recap time.

So Kingston, mr wisdom himself, smooth talks a blacksmith into arming the frog uprising while Anais gets some demon dick. They head into a fountain located in the orgy room, pursuing the little mermaid like a self-driving tesla pursuing a child walking across the street. Kingston sings his heart out and the mermaids agree to join their cause if they are able to separate them from the Queen. To do this, the party have a nice chat with Imshael who agrees to help them separate the aspects in return for something, can't remember it's been a few weeks(He's bored so he wants to watch the party tracking down all the queens aspects including the one in the void). Anyway, the party head down into the dungeon to fight two of the aspects (Rage and Regret) and to inspect the portcullises. In the dungeon, firstly Vengence accosts them looking like Anders and attacks them but then Anais dared him to attack the court, which made him run upstairs and attack the nearest guards. Then Kingston finds the poet tree who informs him that it was actually them who made Kingston immortal when he was a kid for the funnies.

Kingston is upset.

### Session 24: Anais Fists Demons

We're nearly there folks.

The party leaves the chained tree there((as it deserves) except Kingston set it free after a long think and it returned to the woods) and continues their investigation of the dungeon. In a torture room, surrounded by a runic shield, they find Regret. As he proves uncooperative, the party decides to delete him from existence for safety purposes :) . So after Kingston gets multiple stacks of depression, Regret finally gets Fisted (**Anais Flavius TRADEMARK**) to death.

After a short rest to catch their breath, the party continues their search. Inside a beautiful cell they find... "Sarah", or better put, a spirit taking the form of Sarah by the name of (He didnt have a name. He just said hes a dream maker). Now the real Sarah, our dear Silence, still has to hide her identity at court, but due to her old mask breaking she now has to wear the Jaw of Law mask, and say "I am the law" after every sentence. Good luck dear.

The party investigates the final cell in the dungeon and discover that the fire it's engulfed in is in fact, not hurting them at all. And as they investigate the inside of the cell, they get dropped right in front of their target: a wolf-human wombo combo from the Grimm Brother's nightmares. The party do a PETA impression and gang up on the wolf. And after a frankly terrifying fight in which Kingston gets set on fire, Aenea gets a lot of healing practice(Sarah shows she's better at it), and Anais fists the enemy, the party finally dawns the Queen's aspect.

Escaping the dungeons, they see that the revolt is starting. Frogs armed, spirits angry. The five finally return to the faith spirits' hiding to update them on the situation and on the jewelry they found in the dungeons. In a fight against the clock, the party rushes to the entrance of the Void. The fight against the Queen is near.

One more aspect to go.

### Session 25: Off with her head

#### Alternative title: "Yo WTF? I'd fuck that thing!"

The end is in sight.

Within the Void, the party meets the Forgotten One by the name of Geldauran that exchanges information with the party, as it has been there for many ages - since before the fall of the ancient elves - and is curious of the current state of the world. They inform the party that the Blight actually came from the Void, created long ago, and then much later was released upon the mortal world by sheer fucking bad luck and nosy bitches.

The fight against Sloth is long, *thorny* and painful. The party prevails and calls upon the ferryman to get them out the Void only to find... Sweeney???

Without hesitation, Kingston, Anais and Sarah each get in a hit in for good measure before the party makes Sweeney get them out of there.

The party emerges back into the court after the siege had already started and regroups with the desire and faith demons. They find out rage demons have sided with the Queen and are subsequently under house arrest by the power of anyone else in the castle with a braincell. Sloth and despair demons, who refused to take sides, were immediately slaughtered.

The dreamers and desire demons hold the Queen's army at bay while the party takes the frog tunnels to confront the Queen in her sanctuary. After Aenea, in a rare show of no fucks given, roasts the Queen so hard you could almost hear the psychological damage. The final fight starts between the party + Sarah and Sif against the Queen, her wanna-be-Sarah healer, an arrogant looking warrior and a werecat.

In classic party fashion the weirdest possible technique is used to defeat the enemy. In this case, a mabari treat. Up the nose. After which the sneezing Queen got fisted Anais Flavius Style, and decapitated by Kingston.

They say what goes around, comes around, and here it applied to the Queen. ***Off with her head!***

With the court now liberated from the Queen, the party tells their goodbyes and are send back out the Fade. Anais, back in her palace, meets up with her children and prepares for an important *meeting.* Aenea and Kingston wake up in Skyhold and rush out to check on the now awake Alice and rest of the family. Aidan, the weak cousinTM, faints once he sees his daughters safe. Little Alice promises her family that she will at least try to be more careful and gives Kingston a stuffed Froggy toy, while Vicky complains about swords after unspecified trauma Alice allegedly put her through while waiting with her in the fade. Understandable.

Back to Anais' important meeting in a room packed with spirits and dreamers, the assembled use the Phoenix Feather Anais aquired in the Fade in order to restore Leben, and succeed!

Step by step, day by day, the world of our adventurers gets better, days brighter and happier. After so many trials their world has reached a tentative peace. But darkness lays ahead, slowly surfacing, ready to engulf the world.

But that is a tale for other adventurers, that will embark on their own journey full of epic fights and wonderful laughter. Until then... **TO BE CONTINUED**
