Session 130: A Birthday Kidnapping

While Rhys, Bucky, Gram, Kyrah, and Pythor explored the ancient hanging prison, Muffy organized a vigil for those who were slain in the first confrontation with Lutheria. As she was setting this up Rensig came to tell her that he needed to leave on a matter related to his status as an Archfey. Muffy gave him a small silver mirror to reflect on the love he had from The Lucky Seven and he in turn left her with The Time Piece of Travel and a few more flutes.

In the hanging prison, Bucky painted a hole in the floor, something that she wasn’t entirely sure would work, but the floor took to the magic of her paint and she could see an enormous monstrosity below. Gram volunteered to the be the one to awaken it with the hopes that this would get Lutheria to appear while the others cleared out of the prison. Jumping down the hole with his vaulting boots, he was able to get a better sense of the sleeping weapon of the Gods, and in doing so realized he was in a confined space with a Tarasque. Realizing just how dangerous this entity was he went back to confer with his friends before enacting the plan. Rhys offered a plan B that involved a vicious gossip campaign he hoped to start amongst various Gods to enrage Lutheria, but a more sound alternative was offered that maybe the Time Piece of Travel could be of some help. It had after all allowed the group to locate the Spelljammer.

When the group arrived back on the ship Muffy relayed the news that Rensig was gone, but Rhys was able to use the Time Piece of Travel in his stead. The barge was unfortunately not within the 10 mile range or perhaps not known to any being within range. Returning to the prison, this time with Muffy and Siloque, you came face to face with the guardian of this prison and his small entourage of constructs. When asked how you might be able to find Lutheria without waking the beast, he offered that she was known to frequent The Island of Oath Breakers north of the prison.

Thinking that searching for her there might be a better bet than awakening a Tarasque you made your way north and found thousands and thousands of people chained to an enormous stone pillar at the center of the island. Many were no more than skeletons, others had their mouths sewn shut. You also encountered the warden of this island a being almost identical to the guardian of the prison. Bucky, still 50 years old, still with a perpetual rain cloud overhead and an inability to control which language she spoke, was able to communicate with the warden using Kyrah as a translator. The warden told you to leave the island, but Bucky offered another idea: what if you all threw this entity a birthday party? The creature and its minions did not know what to make of this not really having a birthday nor did they know what to make of the plate with its face painted on it that Bucky gave the creature as a birthday present. Finally it commanded you all to leave, and all but Bucky, Muffy, and Siloque did.

Bucky decided the go to move was to kidnap the creature and throw it a party on the boat, but when she went to grab The Warden a fight broke out. It ended with the warden now trapped on the Charm, unconscious, with a blindfold, manacles and chains on.

It would seem that kidnapping this creature had the desired effect, for appearing on the horizon, marching out of the gloom was a titan hundreds of feet tall dragging a chain connected to a barge with a verdant garden and bumping music adorning it. Lutheria’s barge is in sight, and the next move is yours.
