Session X 104 "Into the Feywild"

In the Devil’s Tower, somewhere in the Feywild, The Lucky Seven reunited with Bip and Begbee. Bip recounted seeing Balistar hold off the enormous flying warships of the Devils, but spoke of the troubles the assembled forces on your side had faced and a sighting of some very concerning figures. A woman with wings like Muffy’s accompanied by four riders on flying horses. The woman was the one that had killed The Sleeper in the Tides. After some large wolf like winter elementals fought off every devil that came at Balistar, one of the riders approached as the other three left with the woman through another portal. This rider easily cut through all of Balistar’s defenses, and just being in proximity to this rider filled Bip with hate and blood lust. Bip was then summoned by Gram moments before the rider was on Balistar, and he recognized this individual as the traitorous lightbearer Drazhan, the Minotaur who had killed Dorn seemingly MUCH more powerful than before.

Without much that could be done right now regarding that situation, Bucky turned her attention to the current situation of being on another plane of existance, the Feywild, and to that end turned to her book: The Codex Drydallus. Rereading the note left by her and Dorn's father, Cassim Dumain, she decided it would be wise to try to disguse Dorn and herself while here. Meanwhile, Rensig was overcome with a sense of familiarity with everything about this new place you were in, even before seeing anythging outside of the tower. Images started to fill his mind, memories he could not explain. The most weighty detail seemed to be a name, one he could not place: Tunxil The Trinkletlord. But it had been a long day and you were all tired. After a meal and rousing speech from Muffy you were off to bed to nurse your wounds.

In the morning, refreshed, Gram decided he would try to find out what had happened to Balistar by trying to contact him, but instead his mind was immediately pulled to the unfathomable entity/entities known as Tharizdun. He was able to somehow come away with some answers, confirmation of some theories you had collectively had regarding the entity and the eggs. Seeing this and thinking on the way Gram and Bip can connect to each others minds, Bucky theorized that Gram might be able to contact her mother who also seemed in some way connected to Tharizdun.

Bucky was also busy trying to understand other current problems, specifically what had happened to her brother in that final fight in the tower. After casting her identify spell on him, she realized that there was actually a way to cure his condition, that Muffy’s Mace of Disruption had the capacity to restore him. And Muffy used the Mace to do just that. Dorn learning of Mugbug’s death upon regaining a working mind, planted an arrow and a whip to serve as a gravestone, and a few of you said some kind words about the goblin who had helped you in your hour of need.

After searching this room thoroughly, you all decided to search the rest of the tower which was filled with horror after horror but also some boons. In particular you found a number of items of fiendish technology that Bucky was able to decipher the use of. You also found four prisoners, one of which was a devil who had not been transported out of the tower. Upon probing as to why you learned that it was because he served a different Archdevil than the rest who were under the command of Amon, most loyal of the generals of the Archdevil Levistus. The archdevil he served was Greyon, a bitter rival of Levistus’ who vied for rulership of the frozen wastes of Stygia. You also met a rather peculiar, large entity from another reality, one Gram quickly formed a connection with. With no way to actually say this beings name, Gram dubbed this entity Something.

Though a few more awful scenarios played out before finally leaving the tower you did just that, and while none of the other prisoners have stuck with you, Something seems content to.

Finding yourself out in the actual Feywild. Begbee through Rensig, informed you of three primary rules of this place. **The Rule of Hospitality, the Rule of Reciprocity, and the Rule of Ownership.**

The first locals you encountered in the misty swamp you found yourselves in were some sort of rabbit folk who attempted to rob you completely going against The Rule of Ownership, but were foiled by Dorn’s deception. The lead rabbit invited Dorn to meet up later after the rabbits had found some more people to rob and with no better idea of where to go, you headed in the direction the rabbits suggested. However before finding any other rabbits you encountered a walking inn on hundreds of fleshy legs walking through the swamp. It stopped before you and you all entered.

Filled with warm lights, inviting smells and plenty of patrons, none seemed to take much mind of you, except for one. A brightly dressed anthropomorphic fox wearing a rakish wide-brimmed hat. Bucky noticed that he noticed Rensig and when he did, he mouthed the word Tunxil before immediately again hiding his face in his book.
