19/01/2021 - Revolutionary recruitment, incredible inspirations and Rocksend retaken

## The return of Hairy Bitch.

* Finnian asks the group to go on a recruiting drive.
* Half of the group go to persuade the imps/fairies and treants to help, the other half go to recruit the animals of the forest.
* Group 1 try to attract the imps/fairies by playing some practical jokes on Elyan. Make him fall over some ball bearings and set his cloak on fire.
* This gets the attention of the big boss fairy, who turns out to be “hairy bitch” (who the group had previously kidnapped). After Elyan kisses his feet, he asks them to help him pull off the biggest prank of all time, which he will turn into a song and spread about across the lands.
* Hairy bitch likes this, and agrees to cause distractions for the revolution.
* The imps then lead the group to the treants. Asfodel and Wiliband persuade the treants that by helping them the forests and creatures in it will be safer. Treants say they will help, but on their own turns as they see fit.
* After some athletic mishaps, group 2 manage to persuade the beasts of the forest to help them. Notably getting the speedier beasts to act as transport to get them all from Rocksend to Branxom.

## Inspiration abounds

* With the fey and forest creatures persuaded, the group and Finnian need to inspire the other halflings to join them. This is done via a big party / halfling gathering in Rocksend.
* Elyan and Pimp get the crowd inspired with some revolutionary music (Elyan and a teenage gang end up idolizing Pimp for a bit).
* Asfodel does revolutionary face paint whilst Khelda does some inspiring ferret tricks.
* Khrom gives a rousing speech that persuades a hardened crew of older Halflings.
* The wise old one finishes up with a speech / bear transformation that seems to get the rest on board.
* At the evenings end an old wizened halfling gives Khrom a staff of the woodlands.

## The fall of Rocksend

* The next day, Finnian impresses that the majority of the Rocksend Halflings will only fully get on board when they take the great hall and kill Marfire. So, this should be the groups objective.
* The plan is to use the fey dudes and other halflings to distract the guards at the main gate, then sneak in and use Khrom’s portable battering ram to get into the main hall.
* Krom also uses the staff to awaken a giant tree to help break into the city. .
* This works well, some guards run off to the distractions and Khrom’s Ent easily smashes down the main gate. The other halflings charge in with the group and take out all the guards. This allows the group to quickly get into the main hall.
* Marfire is in there eating breakfast. He shouts at them to get out. Khrom says the revolution is happening.
* A lengthy battle begins, with Marfire aided by a brutal construct seemingly capable of absorbing much of the damage dealt to Marfire.
* Finally, the construct is destroyed, but Marfire plunges the room in total darkness in response. Elyan manages to help with faerie fire, but is knocked unconscious.
* Eventually, having taken much damage from the entire party, Khrom, aided by Pimp, manages to behead Marfire.
* With Marfire dead, and the other ATC guards either killed or fled, the control of Rocksend is once again with the halflings.
* The group must now travel to Branxom with great haste to overthrow Officer Horden and restore complete control of the Cypopa to the halflings.
