Session 16

# Session 16 - 2022.03.22

Having clunked around Bavlorna's home for some time, we barged into her meeting.

## The Meeting

TOM asks Fiento to open the door...and in they go. Bavlorna and TOM meet up. TOM makes it sound like we stole her book. Buckie tries to pipe up. There is chaos in the doorway. FIENTO TELLS HER SHE SMELLS. Buckie runs his mouth at motorboat speeds. She comments on his long name. He is offended. Where he comes from, it is too short. but he will move on from her slight if she will as well. So! He briskly assures the frogs (whose names he can't remember, so he makes up a bunch of things that sound right) asked us to please give this book to Bavlorna.

TOM indicates we have questions. She tells us we could do tasks for her...

1, return her book, we already did that.

2, fix her pool downstairs, oh, we already did that.

3, Get the crate of dead things for her taxidermy...

Half the party is kinda interested in exploring her house, but TOM and Fiento make loud noises about "why are you guys taking so long" So they went outside.

## Bavlorna's Cauldron...and fighting ourselves?!

The kid quickly says the magic word and lifts his lid. tastes the goop inside, turns intoa frog, then drinks more, and turns more frog. Fiento grapples the frog to save Tom, and Buckie closes the cauldron before god knows what else happens. At Fiento's urging, buckie draws out his magic bottle that reforms itself to fill with the goop. He lifts off the lid...and it runs away. A magmin appears. He and Fiento get off to a rough start and he sticks a coal in Fiento's side, dropping him to 2hp. Managing to avoid a brawl, Buckie learns this spell could last an hour or two...or until the next day. But it will probably wear off. Probably. Fiento tries kicking the frog in the correct direction of the huts, but it would have fought back, but Aria sent everyone to sleep - with the regrettable consequence that Fiento takes 3 falling damage and is passed the fuck out. Aria spares him from death. Buckie and Solus carry Fiento into a hut, Aria and Sally and Clapperclaw take the frog in too. As TOM starts to wait, Buckie instructs Sallly to play with TOM until their return.

## To Crate, Perchance To Sleep

Aria, Solus, and Buckie begin looking for the crate of dead things. They find it in the hut of revolutionary frogs. "Sorry to interrupt your revolution, but are there any dead animals in that crate? Bavlorna was expecting a shipment and she wanted us to get them, could we just check?" The revolutionary frogs do not get in Bavlorna's way and let the group take the crate. Aria, Solus, and Buckie quickly return with it to the hut with the rest of the party. Night is falling, so they take shifts, with one party member standing watching outside - with all the stinky crates.

As they stand watch, each person has a minorly odd experience.

* buckie's watch - a 5 pointed star shoots through the sky with a wavy blue tail - like a kid drew a star. "Huh, fey wilds." is Buckie's main remark
* Solus's watch - faint sound of children playing nearby happens on and off.
* Aria's watch - NADA
* Fiento - missed his roll... a shadow stole his water skin as a result. He saw a shadowy dot with his waterskin..and then it went into the water and it was all gone.
