We meet with a potential employer at a dusty warehouse owned by the
Couatl Company. We had seen a poster.

We are brought into a private office to meet with Jamishka.

He wants to offer us a contract. He gives us the history of a town called Oztocan.

Recently, the town started mining a new mineral.

It's where he's from. He cares about it.

But he removed an item from the town. Then bad things happened. He shows us the obsidian shard. It's a couple feet long. He wants us to return it.

This requires 2 things -
1. Take the object to Oztocan.
2. Locate the proper place to return it.

Bad things have been happening. It's not the risk to keep it. It's not worth the risk for him to travel with it. He doesn't want to risk danger to himself, his family or his favorite town.

He knows that an employee of his vanished. He didn't give us (the module didn't reveal) a name.

He knows about a new shadow organization: Onyx Scar.

More history.

Leandro -

Relago -

I was super tired. And the DM wasn't perfectly clear. I pulled this from DDB.

Leandro Sedhar

Asking for Leandro around town leads the characters to the Giant’s Skull, a welcoming inn made of wood and adobe. Leandro has been staying here for the past few weeks.

Leandro (chaotic good noble) is a tabaxi—a Humanoid with feline features, including claws and a tail. He’s short and stout, with lush, sand-colored fur and thin whiskers. Tiny square glasses frame his amber eyes. He was born in a distant land but has been traveling abroad for nearly twenty years. He arrived in Oztocan a few months ago and is working on a play inspired by the town’s local legends. As a playwright, he often draws inspiration from history.
What Leandro Knows

Leandro welcomes the characters and takes an interest in the shard of Xeluan if they show it to him. He asks to see it more closely but refuses to touch it.

In the course of a conversation, Leandro shares the following information with the characters:

Earthquakes. “Oztocan hasn’t felt earthquakes in years, but quakes have become common in recent weeks. No damage has been done yet, but the quakes are getting worse. It’s only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.”

Rilago. “Years ago, an elf archivist named Rilago claimed to have proof of a giant’s tomb beneath Oztocan. Rilago tried to mount a full-scale excavation, but the mayor wouldn’t allow it. Rilago stayed in Oztocan until his disappearance a few weeks ago—around the time the earthquakes began.”

Tavio. “I recently spoke to the Tavio Solana, the mayor. He grew uncomfortable when I mentioned Rilago. It was Tavio’s father, the previous mayor, who refused to allow the excavation of Xeluan’s tomb. I don’t believe Tavio had anything to do with Rilago’s disappearance, but I can’t help but think Tavio knows something about it.”

Aminta. “Tavio’s sister, Aminta, commands the town guard. Rumor has it she was involved with Rilago romantically.”

Our rogue pulls a playing card off his fancy hat.
It is a giant surrounded by 4 smaller people. The giant is holding something up. The card is torn at the top. It is not clear what the giant is holding.

The object is imbued with magic.

Rumor: a man was carrying this object. He was accosted by bandits. There was a green glow. When he awoke. The bandits were gone, as though they vanished. He was still there, tied up. And the object was there, too.

The nature of the magic imbued in the object is wild, wild & ancient.

Our contract. We will gain full set of eleven chain in return for completion.

He offers us the use of his magical carriage. It is powered by magic but does have a driver.

We depart. It's about a day's travel. It's nighttime.

Arrived: Oztocan.

Vigilant Blessing: Lex
We interact with city guard.
Earthquake last month. (Don't recall if that was when they started or when the last one happened). He told us about the disappearance (of Rilago). There is a tomb under the city. Rilago is archeologist. Exploring tomb. Disappeared. No trace. Had some interactions with ex-mayor's children. Ex-mayor has 2 children
Tavio (m) - current mayor
Aminta (f) - captain of the guard

[ ] spent 12 gold buying information from city guard.

Distracted/sleepy. The rest of the players discovered...
Leandro

Distracted/

We agreed to become actors in Leandro's play. I was assigned baboon.
We travel to a tavern.
Giant Skull. Something about a blue glow.

We assemble below the theater.
It's cool under ground.
[Something illegible] new mineral.

Rilago - there is a buried giant tomb. It has buried treasure. Rilago discovered cave drawings. He made it into a map. Leandro copied the map. We copy that. Rilago was good friends (maybe more) with Aminta. The gang, Onyx Scar, joined the city guard.

Tavio was aware (of something unethical) and was covering for Aminta.

There are 4 suggested ways in:
East ventilation shaft or west ventilation shaft. Some climbing will be necessary.
Main entrance. Some disguises might be helpful.
Fountain / drainage basin (didn't write down more details).

We decided to attempt the main entrance. From the theater costumes Leandro owns, we can make reasonable disguises.

DM: make Deception (how good is your costume) or Perception (how well you can find good costume items).

Good roll: Percep 22

We travel to main entrance.
Guards carry obsidian weapons
We are in "entry chamber"
Slab depicting mountains
This is muster/marshall location. Miners arrive and await their full group. Then guards escort.

We are escorted. Statue room. Statue is missing the heart. Scaffolding.

Those who took a photo of the map with their phones agree on a direction. They choose the direction where there is a room called: Heroes' Rest. And we walk.

Burial chamber. Ghostly male. Ghost of Rilago. They "broke the giant's heart." I sought answers. Found nothing. Nobody would help. Tried both Tavio & Aminta. Ancient adventurers (don't recall significance). Asked about Onyx Scar and caster. We conclude caster may be an innocent hire. Was not part of the original Onyx Scar, at any rate.

Enter crypt.
The shards are most likely to be in the lab.
Caster: Adino.
Lab is on 1st floor.
Find the shards. Free their souls (the 4 adventurers?) by reuniting the shards with the statue.

Amina instructed city guard to become/join Onyx Scar.

The true 2nd shift arrives. We hear voices and suddenly running people wearing gear. We prepare for combat.

...as well as 10 Downtime Days + a level, if you choose to take it.

Hoard Item Option 1: ZEE’S CONTROL
(TEMPERATE STAFF OF HEALING)

Staff, rare (requires attunement by a Bard, Cleric, or Druid)

This staff has 10 charges. While holding the staff, you can cast one of the spells on the following table from it, using your spellcasting ability modifier. The table indicates how many charges you must expend to cast the spell.
Spell Charge Cost
Cure Wounds 1 charge per spell level (maximum 4 for a level 4 spell)
Lesser Restoration 2
Mass Cure Wounds 5

Regaining Charges. The staff regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll 1d20. On a 1, the staff vanishes in a flash of light, lost forever.

A staff marked with the crest of eccentric wandmaker Zee, whose last words were famously, “Wait, stop, undo, UNDO!”

Temperate. You are unharmed by temperatures of 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, and 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.

Hoard Item Option 2: INKSPOT (SENTINEL PORTABLE HOLE: MONSTROSITY)

Wondrous Item, rare

This fine black cloth, soft as silk, is folded up to the dimensions of a handkerchief. It unfolds into a circular sheet 6 feet in diameter.

You can take a Magic action to unfold a Portable Hole and place it on or against a solid surface, whereupon the Portable Hole creates an extradimensional hole 10 feet deep. The cylindrical space within the hole exists on a different plane of existence, so it can’t be used to create open passages. Any creature inside an open Portable Hole can exit the hole by climbing out of it.

You can take a Magic action to close a Portable Hole by taking hold of the edges of the cloth and folding it up. Folding the cloth closes the hole, and any creatures or objects within remain in the extradimensional space. No matter what’s in it, the hole weighs next to nothing.

If the hole is folded up, a creature within the hole’s extradimensional space can take an action to make a DC 10 Strength (Athletics) check. On a successful check, the creature forces its way out and appears within 5 feet of the Portable Hole. A closed Portable Hole holds enough air for 1 hour of breathing, divided by the number of breathing creatures inside.

Placing a Portable Hole inside an extradimensional space created by a Bag of Holding, Heward’s Handy Haversack, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate and not behind Total Cover is sucked through it and deposited in a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can’t be reopened.

When unfolded, the cloth expands like a pool of glossy ink.

Sentinel. The DM chooses a kind of creature, such as mind flayers or trolls. This item glows faintly when such creatures are within 120 feet of it. (Monstrosity)

Hoard Item Option 3: MY BEARDY FACE (SONGCRAFT BELT OF DWARVENKIND)

Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement)

While wearing this belt, you gain the following benefits:

Dwarvish. You know Dwarvish.
Friend of Dwarvenkind. You have Advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks made to interact with dwarves and duergar.
Toughness. Your Constitution increases by 2, to a maximum of 20. In addition, while attuned to the belt, you have a 50 percent chance each day at dawn of growing a full beard if you can grow one, or a thicker beard if you already have one. If you aren’t a dwarf or duergar, you gain the following additional benefits while wearing the belt:
Darkvision. You have Darkvision with a range of 60 feet.
Resilience. You have Resistance to Poison damage. You also have Advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the Poisoned condition.

A jaunty line from an old dwarven song is belted out whenever the wearer is struck: “You ain’t never had a beard like me!”

Songcraft. Whenever this item is struck or is used to strike a foe, you hear a fragment of an ancient song.

MY CHOICE - INKSPOT (SENTINEL PORTABLE HOLE: MONSTROSITY)

Entered on character sheet.

I will choose this one. While, Tandur has no need, it could be useful on Salator, since I did not min/max his abilities and features for damage.

He's more general purpose, indeed, like a bard, and a general item like this could be used creatively in interesting ways.

The Friends We Made Along The Way

You prioritized the people of Nethentir in their time of need, and your kindness will be remembered. As word spreads, you gain one automatic success on a D20 test of your choosing in a FR-DC-THAY adventure.

This applies to any attack roll, saving throw or check, and may be declared before or after the consequence of a roll is known. (It does not grant a Critical Hit.)

When this singular success has been claimed, remove this Story Award from your character.
Entered on character sheet as temporary.

We have been adventuring in Cobblehook Cove, a camp run by a pirates. The pirates had ransacked the town of Respite and stole 2 sapphire gems from the weathervane. This weathervane was the magic item protecting the city from the elemental plane located very nearby.

We (some of us) rescued Pierre earlier (last week). We begin preparing to adventure further into the pirate (& dragon?) cave. Some new party members join us, having been sent from Respite to replace those who accompanied Pierre back to town.

From the captive last week and from Pierre, we learned there are a couple known areas. There is a treasure trove. There is a kitchen. We expect there to be more pirates. There is a 2nd path. There is a dragon's nest.

We choose a path. We hear pirates singing. We prepare for combat. We enter the cave.

Combat 1
Init 13
Bless

Great DM narration.
The beat up assassin, glows purple. It complements his goth appearance. "Cool. So metal!" he says.

We manage to leave 1 foe alive. We learned some information.

The "captain" is the same as the dragon. It is called Sable Wing. The pirate was terrified to oppose Sable Wing. But as we eliminated his allies, he's fairly scared of us, too. He agrees that if we leave him alive he will escape and flee.

We gather as much information as we can. His name is: J. C. Horace. Tandur gives him 74 gold since he's leaving without any of his, and he was so generous with information. Tandur (not sure of the intentions of the other party members) escorts him to the door. He departs through one set of doors.
Entered on character sheet.

We enter the pirates' treasure trove (the other door). We find 1 of the 2 sapphires. Tandur keeps it.

We depart the cave. We take a short rest in the woods under cover. Although we detected the dragon flying around (and it seemed angry) (we assess that he learned all his pirate were dead or gone).

After a short rest we move back in.

We enter the dragon's cave. He taunts us by showing us the sapphire. "Oh, you want this?" Greenwich attempts to negotiate (being dragonborn). It didn't work, but it bought us maybe a round to spread a little.

Nonetheless Combat 2; and almost all of us get hit with a breath attack.

Eventuatlly, Sable Wing takes flight. We noticed where he flipped the sapphire. Meinfoo who had been in melee with Sable Wing from the start of combat, managed to collect the sapphire. He gestured to Tandur. Tandur said, it's time for us to depart.

Most of us focused on getting out of the cave, while Greenwich distracted the dragon by attacking him.

We managed to get away, all of use alive (except for Dr. Hoo).

We return to the town. We are showered in gifts.

The dragon, having lost his followers, decides to depart.

We begin by helping save people in the burning tavern.

We begin in the town of Respite. It's along the coast. They have a town weather vane. They believe the pirates, north along the coast, in Cobblehook Cove (aka the corsairs) started the fire in the tavern (in addition to / as a distraction to enable) the stealing of the sapphires from out of the eye sockets of the weather vane.

Those sapphires power the magic weather vane to keep Respite safe from the nearby elemental plane of air.

We ask questions and gather more facts from those we saved.
The attackers were poorly trained.
12+ attackers
Hastily looted
Dragon is responsible
The corsairs are partnering with the dragon.
(some notes I can't understand: knew better, destruction)
(something about) breath weapon attacks from the ocean.

A local townsperson, Vottree is concerned for her son, Pierre. He had a yearning for adventure. She fears he may have gotten mixed up with the pirates. Can we save him? Gives description.

Aura of Vitality. This restores, over the course of 1 minute, 20d6 HP. I did this very efficiently in-game. Since I wrote out my rolls, I can now see I rolled 56, compared to the midpoint of the bell curve, of 70. Not so great! Still 56 HP for a 3rd Level Spell Slot is pretty good (compared to other heals).

1 pirate captive, David.

Thay, a mysterious and terribly powerful magocratic nation in east Faerûn, is long-governed by the Red Wizards.

With Thay's endless pursuit of arcane knowledge and power, there are many dark practices woven into the tapestry of the country's long history of attempting domination over other nations.

Harpers chose us because we are strong adventurers
We've been together for 20 days (2 tendays)

Tharch of Thazalhar

Intro
Tandur, human male, is a multi-class cleric-6 / fighter-4, worshipper of Selune. He likes to be supportive in combat. He thinks he's a decent cleric but not particularly good at speeches (think: low Charisma). He dabbles in arcane magic, and travels with a pet owl (familiar).
Twilight Cleric-6 / Eldritch Knight Fighter-4
(Table talk: built as an experiment, I still haven't settled on his backstory, thus the generic icon.)
https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/141196288

One of you must become the competitor. Our job was to try to seduce
this guy
Yaelend Hulthroun (he/him)

Self-taught talent as a sorcerer (unusual, considering the Thayan norm of ruling wizards)
Used to be a mere soldier in Thazalhar; he was promoted to Tharchion for competency in defeating a Mulhorandi strike force in spite of being extremely outnumbered
A robust outdoorsman with excellent horsemanship and simple tastes
Has expressed admiration for beautiful long tresses; would ideally like a long-haired companion
Hates puffy sleeves due to a childhood trauma with jellyfish
Is allergic to the smell of cloves
Dedicated to his job as a defender of the Thayan border (against possible Mulhorandi attacks)
Unexpectedly egalitarian in his outlook; treats everyone the same no matter a person’s status

Who will it be?
Rhyndaera volunteered. Good thing, said one person, before you were voluntold.

What's our cover story? People settled on 2 (of 4?) options. [tc- I had no idea which of the handouts they were looking at.

Merchants or Nobles?
Merchants

Cover name: Amera Vestalia.

WHAT YOU WERE TOLD ABOUT YAELEND HULTHROUN (THARCHION OF THAZALHAR)
KNOWN INFORMATION AS GATHERED BY THE HARPERS

Yaelend Hulthroun (he/him)

Self-taught talent as a sorcerer (unusual, considering the Thayan norm of ruling wizards)
Used to be a mere soldier in Thazalhar; he was promoted to Tharchion for competency in defeating a Mulhorandi strike force in spite of being extremely outnumbered
A robust outdoorsman with excellent horsemanship and simple tastes
Has expressed admiration for beautiful long tresses; would ideally like a long-haired companion
Hates puffy sleeves due to a childhood trauma with jellyfish
Is allergic to the smell of cloves
Dedicated to his job as a defender of the Thayan border (against possible Mulhorandi attacks)
Unexpectedly egalitarian in his outlook; treats everyone the same no matter a person’s status

What are our roles in the group?
Tandur is bodyguard. I only came up with that because somebody else suggested it. Otherwise, I would have been unable to answer.

We travel to the mansion. He gives us a tour "prior to the festivities."

We note his guards are sharp.

Walk into a room. Who do you meet?
We choose from handout containing 4 options. Each identifies the success conditions.
We choose Mikald.

1st flashback -
We appear in a room, the Drunken Lion playhouse. [tc- It was not clear to me that it was a flashback.

Snack vendor
Usher
The star is Mikal.
Party member puts ghost pepper into costume in the "privates" area.

[tc- For the first half of the encounter I had no idea what to do. Somebody role-played speaking "sedition" so I went to the handout to see (oh!) the success conditions.

Meet Mikald
It is difficult not to know all about Mikald, as he is well-known for being in plays that satirize Red Wizards and Thayan society as a whole. We know he will be performing this afternoon at the Drunken Lion playhouse in Nethentir, in the tharch of Lapendrar.
Your cover story is that of fans coming to see the play.

Required Success Condition
Find a way to sabotage Mikald in his new play “WIGHT PRIVILEGE” such that he looks like a traitor to Thay, or “bring the house down” to injure him. Yaelend does not care for either traitors or invalids.

[tc- Eventually, I got the idea.
Tandur whispers to the old man. "See that symbol?"

We succeed in embarrassing Mikal.

Return to room. Mikal is accused of treason and is escorted away.

2nd flashback-
Wilderness of Thazalhur.
Yellan arranged a competition of hunting. The best trophy wins. There is another hunter on the site. That's the person we have to beat.

We have arranged for you to join a spell-hunt in Thazalhar alongside Nymia. Word is that the results of this hunt will directly reach Yaelend Hulthroun’s ears, as the Monster Prowl is an event where deadly creatures are to be exterminated by hunters in the most impressive fashion.
Your cover story is the same as what you chose for the ball.
Required Success Condition

Nymia excels at seeking and gutting prey, a skill that Yaelend appreciates as a huntsman himself. Find a way to sabotage her hunt such that he is no longer impressed by her reputation by the time of the Ball.

Jamie, is there a way for me (and only me) to disable the screen re-centering on Roll20?

Combat 1

We prevail & are returned to the room.

Pointy End
(Waterborne Magic-touched Rapier)
Weapon (rapier), common

In darkness, the unsheathed blade of this sword sheds moonlight, creating bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet.

The name of this sword is carved onto the blade in untidy Elvish: “Pointy End”. Or are the words merely a reminder?

Proficiency with a Rapier allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
This weapon has the following mastery property. To use this property, you must have a feature that lets you use it.

Vex. If you hit a creature with this weapon and deal damage to the creature, you have Advantage on your next attack roll against that creature before the end of your next turn.

Waterborne. This item floats on water and other liquids. You have Advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks to swim.

ATHORA
(history check)
Something about ATHORA if we have a chance to do a history check later. [tc - We never did, so maybe it was the 4th scene that we didn't have time to choose.

3rd flashback -
We have been watching Elion for some time, and discovered that he seeks to be rid of an embarrassing physical condition by visiting Rhaena’s Manypetals. This bathhouse in the city of Amruthar (in the Lapendrar tharch) is renowned for its scented waters and bath treatments.
Your cover story is that of guests to the bathhouse.

Required Success Condition
Elion has come to remove the stink of goat from his scales. Find a way to sabotage him such that he will be repulsive to Yaelend Hulthroun at the Ball.

East room & west room
Perception checks
Message to party

New cover name: Varessa Swiftwind
Sea elf = Riegel

Other patrons "Mikal was a traitor."

Smelling Elion's musk
We manage to put cloves in the bathwater. Why/how did somebody in our party know that cloves would be bad to the dragonborn?

I am QULONE TRYTHKUL, and I will never rest while Tam’s schemes go unchallenged. Laraer for Thay!”

Big as spellplague

Yessir (yeahaw, wahtever his name) takes us to the basement. He reveals a scepter and a lyre.

Mists
“It has been long since I was able to reach out, but today marks the anniversary of my death. I was Tam’s lover before he reached the zenith of his power - before he had me killed.

But foolish Regents see not the future, for you all have a chance to change the fate of this despised nation. Our connection will not last much longer, but I promise I will tell you everything if you seek me in DELHUMIDE.

Call my name when you enter the WHISPERING GHOST’S EMBRACE, and I will find you.

Harper's Tongue
(Sentinel Cli Lyre: Undead)
Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement by a Bard)

An Instrument of the Bards is superior to an ordinary instrument in every way. Seven types of these instruments exist, each named after a bard college. A creature that attempts to play the instrument without being attuned to it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or take 2d4 Psychic damage.

You can play the Cli Lyre to cast one of the following spells: Fly, Invisibility, Levitate, Protection from Evil and Good, Stone Shape, Wall of Fire, and Wind Wall. Once the Cli Lyre has been used to cast a spell, it can’t be used to cast that spell again until the next dawn. The spells use your spellcasting ability and spell save DC.

Flames have charred the famed Harper symbol found on the lacquered back of this lyre, leaving it barely recognizable.

Sentinel. The DM chooses a kind of creature, such as mind flayers or trolls. This item glows faintly when such creatures are within 120 feet of it. (Undead)

How to Seduce a Thayan in Tendays (FR-DC-THAY-02)
DM'd by Jamie C. (DCI 3320806668)

Dust of Sneezing and Choking
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
Found in a small container, this powder resembles Dust of Disappearance, and Identify reveals it to be such. There is enough of it for one use.
As a Utilize action, you can throw the dust into the air, forcing yourself and every creature in a 30- foot Emanation originating from you to make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. Constructs, Elementals, Oozes, Plants, and Undead succeed on the save automatically.
On a failed save, a creature begins sneezing uncontrollably; it has the Incapacitated condition and is suffocating. The creature repeats the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. The effect also ends on any creature targeted by a Lesser Restoration spell.
added to character sheet.

Dust of Disappearance
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
This powder resembles fine sand. There is enough of it for one use. When you take a Utilize action to throw the dust into the air, you and each creature and object within a 10-foot Emanation originating from you have the Invisible condition for 2d4 minutes. The duration is the same for all subjects, and the dust is consumed when its magic takes effect. Immediately after an affected creature makes an attack roll, deals damage, or casts a spell, the Invisible condition ends for that creature.

Our mission is to obtain 3 weapons

Poem
Search ye far or search ye near
You’ll find no trace of the three
Unless you follow instructions clear
For the weapons abide with me.

North past forest, farm and furrow
You must go to the feathered mound
Then down away from the sun you’ll burrow
Forget life, forget light, forget sound.

To rescue Wave, you must do battle
With the Beast in the Boiling Bubble
Crost cavern vast, where chain-links rattle
Lies Whelm, past water-spouts double.

Blackrazor yet remains to be won
Underneath inverted ziggurat.
That garnered, think not that you’re done
For now you’ll find you are caught

I care not, former owners brave
What heroes you seek to hire.
Though mighty, I’ll make each one my slave
Or send him to the fire.

I was relatively satisfied with my regular Bless. It helped a bit. It was not super powerful because most people hit or (obviously) missed before I had a chance to remind them of Bless. I might consider switching to Bane. Also there is a conflict. If I use Concentration for Bless, I cannot also use Moonbeam. Moonbeam is free (subclass), so I can't unprepare it.

Always thanks to John Steele for his spell effects template!

Wave
Weapon (trident), legendary (requires attunement by a creature that worships a god of the sea)

Held in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain, this trident is an exquisite weapon engraved with images of waves, shells, and sea creatures. Although you must worship a god of the sea to attune to this weapon, Wave happily accepts new converts.

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. If you score a critical hit with it, the target takes extra necrotic damage equal to half its hit point maximum.

The weapon also functions as a trident of fish command and a weapon of warning. It can confer the benefit of a cap of water breathing while you hold it, and you can use it as a cube of force by choosing the effect, instead of pressing cube sides to select it.

Sentience: Wave is a sentient weapon of neutral alignment, with an Intelligence of 14, a Wisdom of 10, and a Charisma of 18. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet.

The weapon communicates telepathically with its wielder and can speak, read, and understand Aquan. It can also speak with aquatic animals as if using a speak with animals spell, using telepathy to involve its wielder in the conversation.

Personality: When it grows restless, Wave has a habit of humming tunes that vary from sea chanteys to sacred hymns of the sea gods.

Wave zealously desires to convert mortals to the worship of one or more sea gods, or else to consign the faithless to death. Conflict arises if the wielder fails to further the weapon's objectives in the world. The trident has a nostalgic attachment to the place where it was forged, a desolate island called Thunderforge. A sea god imprisoned a family of storm giants there, and the giants forged Wave in an act of devotion to- or rebellion against-that god.

Wave harbors a secret doubt about its own nature and purpose. For all its devotion to the sea gods, Wave fears that it was intended to bring about a particular sea god's demise. This destiny is something Wave might not be able to avert.

Whelm
Weapon (warhammer), legendary (requires attunement by a dwarf)

Whelm is a powerful warhammer forged by dwarves and lost in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain.

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. At dawn the day after you first make an attack roll with Whelm, you develop a fear of being outdoors that persists as long as you remain attuned to the weapon. This causes you to have disadvantage on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks while you can see the daytime sky.

Thrown Weapon: Whelm has the thrown property, with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. When you hit with a ranged weapon attack using it, the target takes an extra 1d8 bludgeoning damage, or an extra 2d8 bludgeoning damage if the target is a giant. Each time you throw the weapon, it flies back to your hand after the attack. If you don't have a hand free, the weapon lands at your feet.

Shock Wave: You can use an action to strike the ground with Whelm and send a shock wave out from the point of impact. Each creature of your choice on the ground within 60 feet of that point must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become stunned for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Once used, this property can't be used again until the next dawn.

Supernatural Awareness: While you are holding the weapon, it alerts you to the location of any secret or concealed doors within 30 feet of you. In addition, you can use an action to cast detect evil and good or locate object from the weapon. Once you cast either spell, you can't cast it from the weapon again until the next dawn.

Sentience: Whelm is a sentient lawful neutral weapon with an Intelligence of 15, a Wisdom of 12, and a Charisma of 15. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet.

The weapon communicates telepathically with its wielder and can speak, read, and understand Dwarvish. Giant, and Goblin. It shouts battle cries in Dwarvish when used in combat.

Personality: Whelm's purpose is to slaughter giants and goblinoids. It also seeks to protect dwarves against all enemies. Conflict arises if the wielder fails to destroy goblins and giants or to protect dwarves. Whelm has ties to the dwarf clan that created it, variously called the Dankil or the Mightyhammer clan. It longs to be returned to that clan. It would do anything to protect those dwarves from harm. The hammer also carries a secret shame. Centuries ago, a dwarf named Ctenmiir wielded it valiantly for a time. But Ctenmiir was turned into a vampire. His will was strong enough that he bent Whelm to his evil purposes, even killing members of his own clan.

Blackrazor
Weapon (greatsword), legendary (requires attunement by a creature of non-lawful alignment)

Hidden in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain, Blackrazor shines like a piece of night sky filled with stars. Its black scabbard is decorated with pieces of cut obsidian.

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. It has the following additional properties.

Devour Soul. Whenever you use it to reduce a creature to 0 hit points, the sword slays the creature and devours its soul, unless it is a construct or an undead. A creature whose soul has been devoured by Blackrazor can be restored to life only by a wish spell.

When it devours a soul, Blackrazor grants you temporary hit points equal to the slain creature’s hit point maximum. These hit points fade after 24 hours. As long as these temporary hit points last and you keep Blackrazor in hand, you have advantage on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks.

If you hit an undead with this weapon, you take 1d10 necrotic damage and the target regains 1d10 hit points. If this necrotic damage reduces you to 0 hit points, Blackrazor devours your soul.

Soul Hunter. While you hold the weapon, you are aware of the presence of Tiny or larger creatures within 60 feet of you that aren’t constructs or undead. You also can’t be charmed or frightened.

Blackrazor can cast the haste spell on you once per day. It decides when to cast the spell and maintains concentration on it so that you don’t have to.

Sentience. Blackrazor is a sentient chaotic neutral weapon with an Intelligence of 17, a Wisdom of 10, and a Charisma of 19. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet.

The weapon can speak, read, and understand Common, and can communicate with its wielder telepathically. Its voice is deep and echoing. While you are attuned to it, Blackrazor also understands every language you know.

Personality. Blackrazor speaks with an imperious tone, as though accustomed to being obeyed.

The sword’s purpose is to consume souls. It doesn’t care whose souls it eats, including the wielder’s. The sword believes that all matter and energy sprang from a void of negative energy and will one day return to it. Blackrazor is meant to hurry that process along.

Despite its nihilism, Blackrazor feels a strange kinship to Wave and Whelm, two other weapons locked away under White Plume Mountain. It wants the three weapons to be united again and wielded together in combat, even though it violently disagrees with Whelm and finds Wave tedious.

Blackrazor’s hunger for souls must be regularly fed. If the sword goes three days or more without consuming a soul, a conflict between it and its wielder occurs at the next sunset.

Our party has been invited to the "grand wedding" between High Lord (or sometimes Prince) Araithe and Tarilyn Kendrick.

Web: Araithe is the son of High Lady Ordalf,

He is fey (?) (elf)
She is ffolk.
This arrangement can bring the groups together.
Gossip: this will help unite the islands.

We are on the isle of Gwynneth.

There are visitors and travelers lined up for entry.

Due to our service, we are already inside. Some of us (those with certain Story Awards) have a separate seating at the service.

Kwyjibo & Tandur are at a lower status than the others. The others also get private rooms. We share.

We are invited to a celebration (feels like rehearsal dinner), during which we are met by (a fey) Lady Sinofra. She will ask us later, "What is the promise of blossoms?" Note: there is no correct answer.

Part of noble eladrin. (Who? I didn't note that).

Sound of wonderful, but insistent, singing.

Is the promise of blossoms a tale retold,
A dance of the seasons, both tender and bold?
Is it written in starlight, in roots and in rhyme,
A vow everlasting, by nature designed?

Does the promise of blossoms unite sun and rain,
Each petal a triumph through struggle and pain.
Does it weave through the Feywild, ageless and true,
A story of passion, both timeless and new?

Is it the murmur of leaves in the sun’s warm embrace,
The hum of a bee on its delicate chase?
Is it the courage to bloom where frost lingers near,
An ancient covenant, untouched by fear?

In the promise of blossoms, a question takes flight:
Is it love or friendship that destiny writes?
Does its meaning endure, no matter the name,
And who holds the power to answer its claim?

Tarilyn is up. She is moving towards the sound. We accompany.

Spirt it of ancient queen, High Queen Allison.
Sitting at a spinning wheel.
Red thread (that's not ominous)

Lady Siofra
created glamour of ___
High Lord is in stasis.
Testing Tarilyn; if you are certain of love.

In order to join Tarilyn, some must prick finger on needle of spinning wheel. Tandur agrees. -1 HP.

Must clear the brambles. But that requires completing tests in the library. There are 4 alcoves, each with a book connected by a red thread to the spinning wheel.

Books
• The Cinder Maid’s Tale
• Midsummer’s Dream
• Nussknacker and the Mouse King
• Thumbelina

Once we complete the tests, up to 4, we can then deal with the tower guardians. Then Tarilyn can awaken the High Lord via kiss or touch.

It's 12:30 (00:30); we have about 6 hours.

4 choices; not all are requrired. How else would love triumph.

Each successful (library) test will clear some of the brambles.

The first we choose is "Cinder Maid." We fade out / fade in...

... to a ballroom.

We see Araithe.
Herald announces.
Get Araithe and Tarilyn to dance. Need filled-out dance card.

Success.

Return to library.

Some brambles have been removed, but enough remain to still block the way.

We choose "Nussknacker"

Grandfather clock. We are small.
We are among toy soldiers.
Invading mice.

Soldiers attempt to ascend stairs.
Mice poised to prevent.
Wheels.

Really, really unclear the physical setting.

Disadv. on DEX Saves (then Checks) from now on.

Init.
Owl is also a toy.

Large gear to small gear.

At transition, make Athletics or Acrobatics.
Tandur stuck, but no damage.
Helped by ally.

Sequence: gear - transition - gear

Temp HP

At the top fight:
7-headed mouse with crown (later: hydra mouse or mouse king)

We prevail.

Must convince Araithe to remove mask.

Tandur: Country is important, but for the future relationship matter more.

Break

(Short rest? )

Climb tower.

Dragon (Siofra) breathes cloud of spores

Dragon > Kwyjibo. Killed owl.

Reset owl.
Recorded

We fight. Dragon almost dead. Another hit.
It becomes 2 smaller dragons.

Eventually, we each make our way to the coffin. One-by-one, we activate a magic latch. "What is the promise of blossoms?" Uh, love! That was good enough.

Queen appears.

Something about Siofra.

Recorded

POTION OF ADVANTAGE
Potion, uncommon
When you drink this potion, you gain advantage on one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw of your choice that you make within the next hour.
This potion takes the form of a sparkling, golden mist that moves and pours like water.
Recorded

POTION OF GROWTH
Potion, uncommon
When you drink this potion, you gain the "enlarge" effect of the Enlarge/Reduce spell for 10 minutes (no Concentration required).
The red in the potion's liquid continuously expands from a tiny bead to color the clear liquid around it and then contracts. Shaking the bottle fails to interrupt this process.
Recorded

POTION OF PUGILISM
Potion, uncommon
After you drink this potion, each Unarmed Strike you make deals an extra 1d6 Force damage on a hit. This effect lasts 10 minutes.
This potion is a thick green fluid that tastes like spinach.
Recorded

CLOAK OF MANY FASHIONS
Wondrous Item, Common
This cloak is woven from supple wool dyed a forest green. Silver and gold thread form intricate knotwork along the edges. The golden threads shimmer under sunlight, while the silver threads glow softly under moonlight.

While wearing this cloak, you can take a Bonus Action to change the style, color, and apparent quality of the garment. The cloak’s weight doesn’t change. Regardless of its appearance, the cloak can’t be anything but a cloak. Although it can duplicate the appearance of other magic cloaks, it doesn’t gain their magical properties.
Recorded

NETHERESE RING OF PROTECTION
Ring, Rare (requires attunement)
This green glass ring is etched with protective runes and shimmers with an iridescent sheen, even in dim light. A red thread is wrapped around it in a cluster of elegant loops, so lustrous that it could be mistaken for a gemstone at first glance.

You gain a +1 bonus to AC and saving throws while wearing this ring.
The ring is made from a single piece of mystical green glass that’s stronger than steel. It has the added property of making the wearer less likely to drop or lose anything held in the hand the ring is on. The wearer receives a +4 bonus to saving throws or checks made to avoid dropping or being disarmed of any item held in that hand.
Recorded

STORY WEAVER (Story Award)
You are known amongst the fey for being an epic teller of stories, having helped pen the tale of Tarilyn Kendrick and High Lord Araithe’s union. They may find your tall tales more believable in the future, if they match the format of a traditional fairytale.

We meet with a potential employer at a dusty warehouse owned by the
Couatl Company. We had seen a poster.

We are brought into a private office to meet with Jamishka.

He wants to offer us a contract. He gives us the history of a town called Oztocan.

Recently, the town started mining a new mineral.

It's where he's from. He cares about it.

But he removed an item from the town. Then bad things happened. He shows us the obsidian shard. It's a couple feet long. He wants us to return it.

This requires 2 things -
1. Take the object to Oztocan.
2. Locate the proper place to return it.

Bad things have been happening. It's not the risk to keep it. It's not worth the risk for him to travel with it. He doesn't want to risk danger to himself, his family or his favorite town.

He knows that an employee of his vanished. He didn't give us (the module didn't reveal) a name.

He knows about a new shadow organization: Onyx Scar.

More history.

Leandro -

Relago -

I was super tired. And the DM wasn't perfectly clear. I pulled this from DDB.

Leandro Sedhar

Asking for Leandro around town leads the characters to the Giant’s Skull, a welcoming inn made of wood and adobe. Leandro has been staying here for the past few weeks.

Leandro (chaotic good noble) is a tabaxi—a Humanoid with feline features, including claws and a tail. He’s short and stout, with lush, sand-colored fur and thin whiskers. Tiny square glasses frame his amber eyes. He was born in a distant land but has been traveling abroad for nearly twenty years. He arrived in Oztocan a few months ago and is working on a play inspired by the town’s local legends. As a playwright, he often draws inspiration from history.
What Leandro Knows

Leandro welcomes the characters and takes an interest in the shard of Xeluan if they show it to him. He asks to see it more closely but refuses to touch it.

In the course of a conversation, Leandro shares the following information with the characters:

Earthquakes. “Oztocan hasn’t felt earthquakes in years, but quakes have become common in recent weeks. No damage has been done yet, but the quakes are getting worse. It’s only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.”

Rilago. “Years ago, an elf archivist named Rilago claimed to have proof of a giant’s tomb beneath Oztocan. Rilago tried to mount a full-scale excavation, but the mayor wouldn’t allow it. Rilago stayed in Oztocan until his disappearance a few weeks ago—around the time the earthquakes began.”

Tavio. “I recently spoke to the Tavio Solana, the mayor. He grew uncomfortable when I mentioned Rilago. It was Tavio’s father, the previous mayor, who refused to allow the excavation of Xeluan’s tomb. I don’t believe Tavio had anything to do with Rilago’s disappearance, but I can’t help but think Tavio knows something about it.”

Aminta. “Tavio’s sister, Aminta, commands the town guard. Rumor has it she was involved with Rilago romantically.”

Our rogue pulls a playing card off his fancy hat.
It is a giant surrounded by 4 smaller people. The giant is holding something up. The card is torn at the top. It is not clear what the giant is holding.

The object is imbued with magic.

Rumor: a man was carrying this object. He was accosted by bandits. There was a green glow. When he awoke. The bandits were gone, as though they vanished. He was still there, tied up. And the object was there, too.

The nature of the magic imbued in the object is wild, wild & ancient.

Our contract. We will gain full set of eleven chain in return for completion.

He offers us the use of his magical carriage. It is powered by magic but does have a driver.

We depart. It's about a day's travel. It's nighttime.

Arrived: Oztocan.

Vigilant Blessing: Lex
We interact with city guard.
Earthquake last month. (Don't recall if that was when they started or when the last one happened). He told us about the disappearance (of Rilago). There is a tomb under the city. Rilago is archeologist. Exploring tomb. Disappeared. No trace. Had some interactions with ex-mayor's children. Ex-mayor has 2 children
Tavio (m) - current mayor
Aminta (f) - captain of the guard

[ ] spent 12 gold buying information from city guard.

Distracted/sleepy. The rest of the players discovered...
Leandro

Distracted/

We agreed to become actors in Leandro's play. I was assigned baboon.
We travel to a tavern.
Giant Skull. Something about a blue glow.

We assemble below the theater.
It's cool under ground.
[Something illegible] new mineral.

Rilago - there is a buried giant tomb. It has buried treasure. Rilago discovered cave drawings. He made it into a map. Leandro copied the map. We copy that. Rilago was good friends (maybe more) with Aminta. The gang, Onyx Scar, joined the city guard.

Tavio was aware (of something unethical) and was covering for Aminta.

There are 4 suggested ways in:
East ventilation shaft or west ventilation shaft. Some climbing will be necessary.
Main entrance. Some disguises might be helpful.
Fountain / drainage basin (didn't write down more details).

We decided to attempt the main entrance. From the theater costumes Leandro owns, we can make reasonable disguises.

DM: make Deception (how good is your costume) or Perception (how well you can find good costume items).

Good roll: Percep 22

We travel to main entrance.
Guards carry obsidian weapons
We are in "entry chamber"
Slab depicting mountains
This is muster/marshall location. Miners arrive and await their full group. Then guards escort.

We are escorted. Statue room. Statue is missing the heart. Scaffolding.

Those who took a photo of the map with their phones agree on a direction. They choose the direction where there is a room called: Heroes' Rest. And we walk.

Burial chamber. Ghostly male. Ghost of Rilago. They "broke the giant's heart." I sought answers. Found nothing. Nobody would help. Tried both Tavio & Aminta. Ancient adventurers (don't recall significance). Asked about Onyx Scar and caster. We conclude caster may be an innocent hire. Was not part of the original Onyx Scar, at any rate.

Enter crypt.
The shards are most likely to be in the lab.
Caster: Adino.
Lab is on 1st floor.
Find the shards. Free their souls (the 4 adventurers?) by reuniting the shards with the statue.

Amina instructed city guard to become/join Onyx Scar.

The true 2nd shift arrives. We hear voices and suddenly running people wearing gear. We prepare for combat.

We prevail.

...as well as 10 Downtime Days + a level, if you choose to take it.

Hoard Item Option 1: ZEE’S CONTROL
(TEMPERATE STAFF OF HEALING)

Staff, rare (requires attunement by a Bard, Cleric, or Druid)

This staff has 10 charges. While holding the staff, you can cast one of the spells on the following table from it, using your spellcasting ability modifier. The table indicates how many charges you must expend to cast the spell.
Spell Charge Cost
Cure Wounds 1 charge per spell level (maximum 4 for a level 4 spell)
Lesser Restoration 2
Mass Cure Wounds 5

Regaining Charges. The staff regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll 1d20. On a 1, the staff vanishes in a flash of light, lost forever.

A staff marked with the crest of eccentric wandmaker Zee, whose last words were famously, “Wait, stop, undo, UNDO!”

Temperate. You are unharmed by temperatures of 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, and 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.

Hoard Item Option 2: INKSPOT (SENTINEL PORTABLE HOLE: MONSTROSITY)

Wondrous Item, rare

This fine black cloth, soft as silk, is folded up to the dimensions of a handkerchief. It unfolds into a circular sheet 6 feet in diameter.

You can take a Magic action to unfold a Portable Hole and place it on or against a solid surface, whereupon the Portable Hole creates an extradimensional hole 10 feet deep. The cylindrical space within the hole exists on a different plane of existence, so it can’t be used to create open passages. Any creature inside an open Portable Hole can exit the hole by climbing out of it.

You can take a Magic action to close a Portable Hole by taking hold of the edges of the cloth and folding it up. Folding the cloth closes the hole, and any creatures or objects within remain in the extradimensional space. No matter what’s in it, the hole weighs next to nothing.

If the hole is folded up, a creature within the hole’s extradimensional space can take an action to make a DC 10 Strength (Athletics) check. On a successful check, the creature forces its way out and appears within 5 feet of the Portable Hole. A closed Portable Hole holds enough air for 1 hour of breathing, divided by the number of breathing creatures inside.

Placing a Portable Hole inside an extradimensional space created by a Bag of Holding, Heward’s Handy Haversack, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate and not behind Total Cover is sucked through it and deposited in a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can’t be reopened.

When unfolded, the cloth expands like a pool of glossy ink.

Sentinel. The DM chooses a kind of creature, such as mind flayers or trolls. This item glows faintly when such creatures are within 120 feet of it. (Monstrosity)

Hoard Item Option 3: MY BEARDY FACE (SONGCRAFT BELT OF DWARVENKIND)

Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement)

While wearing this belt, you gain the following benefits:

Dwarvish. You know Dwarvish.
Friend of Dwarvenkind. You have Advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks made to interact with dwarves and duergar.
Toughness. Your Constitution increases by 2, to a maximum of 20. In addition, while attuned to the belt, you have a 50 percent chance each day at dawn of growing a full beard if you can grow one, or a thicker beard if you already have one. If you aren’t a dwarf or duergar, you gain the following additional benefits while wearing the belt:
Darkvision. You have Darkvision with a range of 60 feet.
Resilience. You have Resistance to Poison damage. You also have Advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the Poisoned condition.

A jaunty line from an old dwarven song is belted out whenever the wearer is struck: “You ain’t never had a beard like me!”

Songcraft. Whenever this item is struck or is used to strike a foe, you hear a fragment of an ancient song.

MY CHOICE - INKSPOT (SENTINEL PORTABLE HOLE: MONSTROSITY)

Entered on character sheet.

I will choose this one. While, Tandur has no need, it could be useful on Salator, since I did not min/max his abilities and features for damage.

He's more general purpose, indeed, like a bard, and a general item like this could be used creatively in interesting ways.

The Friends We Made Along The Way

You prioritized the people of Nethentir in their time of need, and your kindness will be remembered. As word spreads, you gain one automatic success on a D20 test of your choosing in a FR-DC-THAY adventure.

This applies to any attack roll, saving throw or check, and may be declared before or after the consequence of a roll is known. (It does not grant a Critical Hit.)

When this singular success has been claimed, remove this Story Award from your character.
Entered on character sheet as temporary.

ELEMENTAL GEM (RED CORUNDUM)

Wondrous Item, uncommon

When you take a Utilize action to break the gem, a Fire Elemental is summoned (see the Monster Manual for its stat block), and the gem ceases to be magical. The elemental appears in an unoccupied space as close to the broken gem as possible, understands your languages, obeys your commands, and takes its turn immediately after you on your Initiative count.

Man named Califron called to us in our minds. He and his companion, Origus, were traveling together. Califron got captured. He found himself trapped in the lair of a brass dragon named Yolagan.

Found a body, ran out of food and water. Hand reaching in a certain direction.
We found a crack in the canyon walls.

Crystal bridge + stone platform, doors of glass and brass.

Used Mage Hand to open the door. There is a blue glow all around inside. We see stairs up. Glass box on right side (later we learned it was an elevator).

The whole area is pristine and advanced, maybe related to far realm / gith. Maybe abandoned.

Statue: female knight with great sword, looks like an elongated elf.

We found water with algae. This is foreboding.

We have been adventuring in Cobblehook Cove, a camp run by a pirates. The pirates had ransacked the town of Respite and stole 2 sapphire gems from the weathervane. This weathervane was the magic item protecting the city from the elemental plane located very nearby.

We (some of us) rescued Pierre earlier (last week). We begin preparing to adventure further into the pirate (& dragon?) cave. Some new party members join us, having been sent from Respite to replace those who accompanied Pierre back to town.

From the captive last week and from Pierre, we learned there are a couple known areas. There is a treasure trove. There is a kitchen. We expect there to be more pirates. There is a 2nd path. There is a dragon's nest.

We choose a path. We hear pirates singing. We prepare for combat. We enter the cave.

Combat 1
Init 13
Bless

Great DM narration.
The beat up assassin, glows purple. It complements his goth appearance. "Cool. So metal!" he says.

We manage to leave 1 foe alive. We learned some information.

The "captain" is the same as the dragon. It is called Sable Wing. The pirate was terrified to oppose Sable Wing. But as we eliminated his allies, he's fairly scared of us, too. He agrees that if we leave him alive he will escape and flee.

We gather as much information as we can. His name is: J. C. Horace. Tandur gives him 74 gold since he's leaving without any of his, and he was so generous with information. Tandur (not sure of the intentions of the other party members) escorts him to the door. He departs through one set of doors.
Entered on character sheet.

We enter the pirates' treasure trove (the other door). We find 1 of the 2 sapphires. Tandur keeps it.

We depart the cave. We take a short rest in the woods under cover. Although we detected the dragon flying around (and it seemed angry) (we assess that he learned all his pirate were dead or gone).

After a short rest we move back in.

We enter the dragon's cave. He taunts us by showing us the sapphire. "Oh, you want this?" Greenwich attempts to negotiate (being dragonborn). It didn't work, but it bought us maybe a round to spread a little.

Nonetheless Combat 2; and almost all of us get hit with a breath attack.

Eventuatlly, Sable Wing takes flight. We noticed where he flipped the sapphire. Meinfoo who had been in melee with Sable Wing from the start of combat, managed to collect the sapphire. He gestured to Tandur. Tandur said, it's time for us to depart.

Most of us focused on getting out of the cave, while Greenwich distracted the dragon by attacking him.

We managed to get away, all of use alive (except for Dr. Hoo).

We return to the town. We are showered in gifts.

The dragon, having lost his followers, decides to depart.

End of session.

We begin by helping save people in the burning tavern.

We begin in the town of Respite. It's along the coast. They have a town weather vane. They believe the pirates, north along the coast, in Cobblehook Cove (aka the corsairs) started the fire in the tavern (in addition to / as a distraction to enable) the stealing of the sapphires from out of the eye sockets of the weather vane.

Those sapphires power the magic weather vane to keep Respite safe from the nearby elemental plane of air.

We ask questions and gather more facts from those we saved.
The attackers were poorly trained.
12+ attackers
Hastily looted
Dragon is responsible
The corsairs are partnering with the dragon.
(some notes I can't understand: knew better, destruction)
(something about) breath weapon attacks from the ocean.

A local townsperson, Vottree is concerned for her son, Pierre. He had a yearning for adventure. She fears he may have gotten mixed up with the pirates. Can we save him? Gives description.

Aura of Vitality. This restores, over the course of 1 minute, 20d6 HP. I did this very efficiently in-game. Since I wrote out my rolls, I can now see I rolled 56, compared to the midpoint of the bell curve, of 70. Not so great! Still 56 HP for a 3rd Level Spell Slot is pretty good (compared to other heals).

1 pirate captive, David.

Thay, a mysterious and terribly powerful magocratic nation in east Faerûn, is long-governed by the Red Wizards.

With Thay's endless pursuit of arcane knowledge and power, there are many dark practices woven into the tapestry of the country's long history of attempting domination over other nations.

Harpers chose us because we are strong adventurers
We've been together for 20 days (2 tendays)

Tharch of Thazalhar

Intro
Tandur, human male, is a multi-class cleric-6 / fighter-4, worshipper of Selune. He likes to be supportive in combat. He thinks he's a decent cleric but not particularly good at speeches (think: low Charisma). He dabbles in arcane magic, and travels with a pet owl (familiar).
Twilight Cleric-6 / Eldritch Knight Fighter-4
(Table talk: built as an experiment, I still haven't settled on his backstory, thus the generic icon.)
https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/141196288

One of you must become the competitor. Our job was to try to seduce
this guy
Yaelend Hulthroun (he/him)

Self-taught talent as a sorcerer (unusual, considering the Thayan norm of ruling wizards)
Used to be a mere soldier in Thazalhar; he was promoted to Tharchion for competency in defeating a Mulhorandi strike force in spite of being extremely outnumbered
A robust outdoorsman with excellent horsemanship and simple tastes
Has expressed admiration for beautiful long tresses; would ideally like a long-haired companion
Hates puffy sleeves due to a childhood trauma with jellyfish
Is allergic to the smell of cloves
Dedicated to his job as a defender of the Thayan border (against possible Mulhorandi attacks)
Unexpectedly egalitarian in his outlook; treats everyone the same no matter a person’s status

Who will it be?
Rhyndaera volunteered. Good thing, said one person, before you were voluntold.

What's our cover story? People settled on 2 (of 4?) options. [tc- I had no idea which of the handouts they were looking at.

Merchants or Nobles?
Merchants

Cover name: Amera Vestalia.

WHAT YOU WERE TOLD ABOUT YAELEND HULTHROUN (THARCHION OF THAZALHAR)
KNOWN INFORMATION AS GATHERED BY THE HARPERS

Yaelend Hulthroun (he/him)

Self-taught talent as a sorcerer (unusual, considering the Thayan norm of ruling wizards)
Used to be a mere soldier in Thazalhar; he was promoted to Tharchion for competency in defeating a Mulhorandi strike force in spite of being extremely outnumbered
A robust outdoorsman with excellent horsemanship and simple tastes
Has expressed admiration for beautiful long tresses; would ideally like a long-haired companion
Hates puffy sleeves due to a childhood trauma with jellyfish
Is allergic to the smell of cloves
Dedicated to his job as a defender of the Thayan border (against possible Mulhorandi attacks)
Unexpectedly egalitarian in his outlook; treats everyone the same no matter a person’s status

What are our roles in the group?
Tandur is bodyguard. I only came up with that because somebody else suggested it. Otherwise, I would have been unable to answer.

We travel to the mansion. He gives us a tour "prior to the festivities."

We note his guards are sharp.

Walk into a room. Who do you meet?
We choose from handout containing 4 options. Each identifies the success conditions.
We choose Mikald.

1st flashback -
We appear in a room, the Drunken Lion playhouse. [tc- It was not clear to me that it was a flashback.

Snack vendor
Usher
The star is Mikal.
Party member puts ghost pepper into costume in the "privates" area.

[tc- For the first half of the encounter I had no idea what to do. Somebody role-played speaking "sedition" so I went to the handout to see (oh!) the success conditions.

Meet Mikald
It is difficult not to know all about Mikald, as he is well-known for being in plays that satirize Red Wizards and Thayan society as a whole. We know he will be performing this afternoon at the Drunken Lion playhouse in Nethentir, in the tharch of Lapendrar.
Your cover story is that of fans coming to see the play.

Required Success Condition
Find a way to sabotage Mikald in his new play “WIGHT PRIVILEGE” such that he looks like a traitor to Thay, or “bring the house down” to injure him. Yaelend does not care for either traitors or invalids.

[tc- Eventually, I got the idea.
Tandur whispers to the old man. "See that symbol?"

We succeed in embarrassing Mikal.

Return to room. Mikal is accused of treason and is escorted away.

2nd flashback-
Wilderness of Thazalhur.
Yellan arranged a competition of hunting. The best trophy wins. There is another hunter on the site. That's the person we have to beat.

We have arranged for you to join a spell-hunt in Thazalhar alongside Nymia. Word is that the results of this hunt will directly reach Yaelend Hulthroun’s ears, as the Monster Prowl is an event where deadly creatures are to be exterminated by hunters in the most impressive fashion.
Your cover story is the same as what you chose for the ball.
Required Success Condition

Nymia excels at seeking and gutting prey, a skill that Yaelend appreciates as a huntsman himself. Find a way to sabotage her hunt such that he is no longer impressed by her reputation by the time of the Ball.

Jamie, is there a way for me (and only me) to disable the screen re-centering on Roll20?

Pointy End
(Waterborne Magic-touched Rapier)
Weapon (rapier), common

In darkness, the unsheathed blade of this sword sheds moonlight, creating bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet.

The name of this sword is carved onto the blade in untidy Elvish: “Pointy End”. Or are the words merely a reminder?

Proficiency with a Rapier allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
This weapon has the following mastery property. To use this property, you must have a feature that lets you use it.

Vex. If you hit a creature with this weapon and deal damage to the creature, you have Advantage on your next attack roll against that creature before the end of your next turn.

Waterborne. This item floats on water and other liquids. You have Advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks to swim.

ATHORA
(history check)
Something about ATHORA if we have a chance to do a history check later. [tc - We never did, so maybe it was the 4th scene that we didn't have time to choose.

3rd flashback -
We have been watching Elion for some time, and discovered that he seeks to be rid of an embarrassing physical condition by visiting Rhaena’s Manypetals. This bathhouse in the city of Amruthar (in the Lapendrar tharch) is renowned for its scented waters and bath treatments.
Your cover story is that of guests to the bathhouse.

Required Success Condition
Elion has come to remove the stink of goat from his scales. Find a way to sabotage him such that he will be repulsive to Yaelend Hulthroun at the Ball.

East room & west room
Perception checks
Message to party

New cover name: Varessa Swiftwind
Sea elf = Riegel

Other patrons "Mikal was a traitor."

Smelling Elion's musk
We manage to put cloves in the bathwater. Why/how did somebody in our party know that cloves would be bad to the dragonborn?

I am QULONE TRYTHKUL, and I will never rest while Tam’s schemes go unchallenged. Laraer for Thay!”

Big as spellplague

Yessir (yeahaw, wahtever his name) takes us to the basement. He reveals a scepter and a lyre.

Mists
“It has been long since I was able to reach out, but today marks the anniversary of my death. I was Tam’s lover before he reached the zenith of his power - before he had me killed.

But foolish Regents see not the future, for you all have a chance to change the fate of this despised nation. Our connection will not last much longer, but I promise I will tell you everything if you seek me in DELHUMIDE.

Call my name when you enter the WHISPERING GHOST’S EMBRACE, and I will find you.

Harper's Tongue
(Sentinel Cli Lyre: Undead)
Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement by a Bard)

An Instrument of the Bards is superior to an ordinary instrument in every way. Seven types of these instruments exist, each named after a bard college. A creature that attempts to play the instrument without being attuned to it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or take 2d4 Psychic damage.

You can play the Cli Lyre to cast one of the following spells: Fly, Invisibility, Levitate, Protection from Evil and Good, Stone Shape, Wall of Fire, and Wind Wall. Once the Cli Lyre has been used to cast a spell, it can’t be used to cast that spell again until the next dawn. The spells use your spellcasting ability and spell save DC.

Flames have charred the famed Harper symbol found on the lacquered back of this lyre, leaving it barely recognizable.

Sentinel. The DM chooses a kind of creature, such as mind flayers or trolls. This item glows faintly when such creatures are within 120 feet of it. (Undead)

Dust of Sneezing and Choking
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
Found in a small container, this powder resembles Dust of Disappearance, and Identify reveals it to be such. There is enough of it for one use.
As a Utilize action, you can throw the dust into the air, forcing yourself and every creature in a 30- foot Emanation originating from you to make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. Constructs, Elementals, Oozes, Plants, and Undead succeed on the save automatically.
On a failed save, a creature begins sneezing uncontrollably; it has the Incapacitated condition and is suffocating. The creature repeats the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. The effect also ends on any creature targeted by a Lesser Restoration spell.
added to character sheet.

Dust of Disappearance
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
This powder resembles fine sand. There is enough of it for one use. When you take a Utilize action to throw the dust into the air, you and each creature and object within a 10-foot Emanation originating from you have the Invisible condition for 2d4 minutes. The duration is the same for all subjects, and the dust is consumed when its magic takes effect. Immediately after an affected creature makes an attack roll, deals damage, or casts a spell, the Invisible condition ends for that creature.

Our mission is to obtain 3 weapons

Poem
Search ye far or search ye near
You’ll find no trace of the three
Unless you follow instructions clear
For the weapons abide with me.

North past forest, farm and furrow
You must go to the feathered mound
Then down away from the sun you’ll burrow
Forget life, forget light, forget sound.

To rescue Wave, you must do battle
With the Beast in the Boiling Bubble
Crost cavern vast, where chain-links rattle
Lies Whelm, past water-spouts double.

Blackrazor yet remains to be won
Underneath inverted ziggurat.
That garnered, think not that you’re done
For now you’ll find you are caught

I care not, former owners brave
What heroes you seek to hire.
Though mighty, I’ll make each one my slave
Or send him to the fire.

I was relatively satisfied with my regular Bless. It helped a bit. It was not super powerful because most people hit or (obviously) missed before I had a chance to remind them of Bless. I might consider switching to Bane. Also there is a conflict. If I use Concentration for Bless, I cannot also use Moonbeam. Moonbeam is free (subclass), so I can't unprepare it.

Always thanks to John Steele for his spell effects template!

Wave
Weapon (trident), legendary (requires attunement by a creature that worships a god of the sea)

Held in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain, this trident is an exquisite weapon engraved with images of waves, shells, and sea creatures. Although you must worship a god of the sea to attune to this weapon, Wave happily accepts new converts.

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. If you score a critical hit with it, the target takes extra necrotic damage equal to half its hit point maximum.

The weapon also functions as a trident of fish command and a weapon of warning. It can confer the benefit of a cap of water breathing while you hold it, and you can use it as a cube of force by choosing the effect, instead of pressing cube sides to select it.

Sentience: Wave is a sentient weapon of neutral alignment, with an Intelligence of 14, a Wisdom of 10, and a Charisma of 18. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet.

The weapon communicates telepathically with its wielder and can speak, read, and understand Aquan. It can also speak with aquatic animals as if using a speak with animals spell, using telepathy to involve its wielder in the conversation.

Personality: When it grows restless, Wave has a habit of humming tunes that vary from sea chanteys to sacred hymns of the sea gods.

Wave zealously desires to convert mortals to the worship of one or more sea gods, or else to consign the faithless to death. Conflict arises if the wielder fails to further the weapon's objectives in the world. The trident has a nostalgic attachment to the place where it was forged, a desolate island called Thunderforge. A sea god imprisoned a family of storm giants there, and the giants forged Wave in an act of devotion to- or rebellion against-that god.

Wave harbors a secret doubt about its own nature and purpose. For all its devotion to the sea gods, Wave fears that it was intended to bring about a particular sea god's demise. This destiny is something Wave might not be able to avert.

Whelm
Weapon (warhammer), legendary (requires attunement by a dwarf)

Whelm is a powerful warhammer forged by dwarves and lost in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain.

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. At dawn the day after you first make an attack roll with Whelm, you develop a fear of being outdoors that persists as long as you remain attuned to the weapon. This causes you to have disadvantage on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks while you can see the daytime sky.

Thrown Weapon: Whelm has the thrown property, with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. When you hit with a ranged weapon attack using it, the target takes an extra 1d8 bludgeoning damage, or an extra 2d8 bludgeoning damage if the target is a giant. Each time you throw the weapon, it flies back to your hand after the attack. If you don't have a hand free, the weapon lands at your feet.

Shock Wave: You can use an action to strike the ground with Whelm and send a shock wave out from the point of impact. Each creature of your choice on the ground within 60 feet of that point must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become stunned for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Once used, this property can't be used again until the next dawn.

Supernatural Awareness: While you are holding the weapon, it alerts you to the location of any secret or concealed doors within 30 feet of you. In addition, you can use an action to cast detect evil and good or locate object from the weapon. Once you cast either spell, you can't cast it from the weapon again until the next dawn.

Sentience: Whelm is a sentient lawful neutral weapon with an Intelligence of 15, a Wisdom of 12, and a Charisma of 15. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet.

The weapon communicates telepathically with its wielder and can speak, read, and understand Dwarvish. Giant, and Goblin. It shouts battle cries in Dwarvish when used in combat.

Personality: Whelm's purpose is to slaughter giants and goblinoids. It also seeks to protect dwarves against all enemies. Conflict arises if the wielder fails to destroy goblins and giants or to protect dwarves. Whelm has ties to the dwarf clan that created it, variously called the Dankil or the Mightyhammer clan. It longs to be returned to that clan. It would do anything to protect those dwarves from harm. The hammer also carries a secret shame. Centuries ago, a dwarf named Ctenmiir wielded it valiantly for a time. But Ctenmiir was turned into a vampire. His will was strong enough that he bent Whelm to his evil purposes, even killing members of his own clan.

Blackrazor
Weapon (greatsword), legendary (requires attunement by a creature of non-lawful alignment)

Hidden in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain, Blackrazor shines like a piece of night sky filled with stars. Its black scabbard is decorated with pieces of cut obsidian.

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. It has the following additional properties.

Devour Soul. Whenever you use it to reduce a creature to 0 hit points, the sword slays the creature and devours its soul, unless it is a construct or an undead. A creature whose soul has been devoured by Blackrazor can be restored to life only by a wish spell.

When it devours a soul, Blackrazor grants you temporary hit points equal to the slain creature’s hit point maximum. These hit points fade after 24 hours. As long as these temporary hit points last and you keep Blackrazor in hand, you have advantage on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks.

If you hit an undead with this weapon, you take 1d10 necrotic damage and the target regains 1d10 hit points. If this necrotic damage reduces you to 0 hit points, Blackrazor devours your soul.

Soul Hunter. While you hold the weapon, you are aware of the presence of Tiny or larger creatures within 60 feet of you that aren’t constructs or undead. You also can’t be charmed or frightened.

Blackrazor can cast the haste spell on you once per day. It decides when to cast the spell and maintains concentration on it so that you don’t have to.

Sentience. Blackrazor is a sentient chaotic neutral weapon with an Intelligence of 17, a Wisdom of 10, and a Charisma of 19. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet.

The weapon can speak, read, and understand Common, and can communicate with its wielder telepathically. Its voice is deep and echoing. While you are attuned to it, Blackrazor also understands every language you know.

Personality. Blackrazor speaks with an imperious tone, as though accustomed to being obeyed.

The sword’s purpose is to consume souls. It doesn’t care whose souls it eats, including the wielder’s. The sword believes that all matter and energy sprang from a void of negative energy and will one day return to it. Blackrazor is meant to hurry that process along.

Despite its nihilism, Blackrazor feels a strange kinship to Wave and Whelm, two other weapons locked away under White Plume Mountain. It wants the three weapons to be united again and wielded together in combat, even though it violently disagrees with Whelm and finds Wave tedious.

Blackrazor’s hunger for souls must be regularly fed. If the sword goes three days or more without consuming a soul, a conflict between it and its wielder occurs at the next sunset.

Our party has been invited to the "grand wedding" between High Lord (or sometimes Prince) Araithe and Tarilyn Kendrick.

Web: Araithe is the son of High Lady Ordalf,

He is fey (?) (elf)
She is ffolk.
This arrangement can bring the groups together.
Gossip: this will help unite the islands.

We are on the isle of Gwynneth.

There are visitors and travelers lined up for entry.

Due to our service, we are already inside. Some of us (those with certain Story Awards) have a separate seating at the service.

Kwyjibo & Tandur are at a lower status than the others. The others also get private rooms. We share.

We are invited to a celebration (feels like rehearsal dinner), during which we are met by (a fey) Lady Sinofra. She will ask us later, "What is the promise of blossoms?" Note: there is no correct answer.

Part of noble eladrin. (Who? I didn't note that).

Sound of wonderful, but insistent, singing.

Is the promise of blossoms a tale retold,
A dance of the seasons, both tender and bold?
Is it written in starlight, in roots and in rhyme,
A vow everlasting, by nature designed?

Does the promise of blossoms unite sun and rain,
Each petal a triumph through struggle and pain.
Does it weave through the Feywild, ageless and true,
A story of passion, both timeless and new?

Is it the murmur of leaves in the sun’s warm embrace,
The hum of a bee on its delicate chase?
Is it the courage to bloom where frost lingers near,
An ancient covenant, untouched by fear?

In the promise of blossoms, a question takes flight:
Is it love or friendship that destiny writes?
Does its meaning endure, no matter the name,
And who holds the power to answer its claim?

Tarilyn is up. She is moving towards the sound. We accompany.

Spirt it of ancient queen, High Queen Allison.
Sitting at a spinning wheel.
Red thread (that's not ominous)

Lady Siofra
created glamour of ___
High Lord is in stasis.
Testing Tarilyn; if you are certain of love.

In order to join Tarilyn, some must prick finger on needle of spinning wheel. Tandur agrees. -1 HP.

Must clear the brambles. But that requires completing tests in the library. There are 4 alcoves, each with a book connected by a red thread to the spinning wheel.

Books
• The Cinder Maid’s Tale
• Midsummer’s Dream
• Nussknacker and the Mouse King
• Thumbelina

Once we complete the tests, up to 4, we can then deal with the tower guardians. Then Tarilyn can awaken the High Lord via kiss or touch.

It's 12:30 (00:30); we have about 6 hours.

4 choices; not all are requrired. How else would love triumph.

Each successful (library) test will clear some of the brambles.

The first we choose is "Cinder Maid." We fade out / fade in...

... to a ballroom.

We see Araithe.
Herald announces.
Get Araithe and Tarilyn to dance. Need filled-out dance card.

Success.

Return to library.

Some brambles have been removed, but enough remain to still block the way.

We choose "Nussknacker"

Grandfather clock. We are small.
We are among toy soldiers.
Invading mice.

Soldiers attempt to ascend stairs.
Mice poised to prevent.
Wheels.

Really, really unclear the physical setting.

Disadv. on DEX Saves (then Checks) from now on.

Init.
Owl is also a toy.

Large gear to small gear.

At transition, make Athletics or Acrobatics.
Tandur stuck, but no damage.
Helped by ally.

Sequence: gear - transition - gear

Temp HP

At the top fight:
7-headed mouse with crown (later: hydra mouse or mouse king)

We prevail.

Must convince Araithe to remove mask.

Tandur: Country is important, but for the future relationship matter more.

Break

(Short rest? )

Climb tower.

Dragon (Siofra) breathes cloud of spores

Dragon > Kwyjibo. Killed owl.

Reset owl.
Recorded

We fight. Dragon almost dead. Another hit.
It becomes 2 smaller dragons.

Eventually, we each make our way to the coffin. One-by-one, we activate a magic latch. "What is the promise of blossoms?" Uh, love! That was good enough.

Queen appears.

Something about Siofra.

Recorded

POTION OF ADVANTAGE
Potion, uncommon
When you drink this potion, you gain advantage on one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw of your choice that you make within the next hour.
This potion takes the form of a sparkling, golden mist that moves and pours like water.
Recorded

POTION OF GROWTH
Potion, uncommon
When you drink this potion, you gain the "enlarge" effect of the Enlarge/Reduce spell for 10 minutes (no Concentration required).
The red in the potion's liquid continuously expands from a tiny bead to color the clear liquid around it and then contracts. Shaking the bottle fails to interrupt this process.
Recorded

POTION OF PUGILISM
Potion, uncommon
After you drink this potion, each Unarmed Strike you make deals an extra 1d6 Force damage on a hit. This effect lasts 10 minutes.
This potion is a thick green fluid that tastes like spinach.
Recorded

CLOAK OF MANY FASHIONS
Wondrous Item, Common
This cloak is woven from supple wool dyed a forest green. Silver and gold thread form intricate knotwork along the edges. The golden threads shimmer under sunlight, while the silver threads glow softly under moonlight.

While wearing this cloak, you can take a Bonus Action to change the style, color, and apparent quality of the garment. The cloak’s weight doesn’t change. Regardless of its appearance, the cloak can’t be anything but a cloak. Although it can duplicate the appearance of other magic cloaks, it doesn’t gain their magical properties.
Recorded

NETHERESE RING OF PROTECTION
Ring, Rare (requires attunement)
This green glass ring is etched with protective runes and shimmers with an iridescent sheen, even in dim light. A red thread is wrapped around it in a cluster of elegant loops, so lustrous that it could be mistaken for a gemstone at first glance.

You gain a +1 bonus to AC and saving throws while wearing this ring.
The ring is made from a single piece of mystical green glass that’s stronger than steel. It has the added property of making the wearer less likely to drop or lose anything held in the hand the ring is on. The wearer receives a +4 bonus to saving throws or checks made to avoid dropping or being disarmed of any item held in that hand.
Recorded

STORY WEAVER (Story Award)
You are known amongst the fey for being an epic teller of stories, having helped pen the tale of Tarilyn Kendrick and High Lord Araithe’s union. They may find your tall tales more believable in the future, if they match the format of a traditional fairytale.

We meet with a potential employer at a dusty warehouse owned by the
Couatl Company. We had seen a poster.

We are brought into a private office to meet with Jamishka.

He wants to offer us a contract. He gives us the history of a town called Oztocan.

Recently, the town started mining a new mineral.

It's where he's from. He cares about it.

But he removed an item from the town. Then bad things happened. He shows us the obsidian shard. It's a couple feet long. He wants us to return it.

This requires 2 things -
1. Take the object to Oztocan.
2. Locate the proper place to return it.

Bad things have been happening. It's not the risk to keep it. It's not worth the risk for him to travel with it. He doesn't want to risk danger to himself, his family or his favorite town.

He knows that an employee of his vanished. He didn't give us (the module didn't reveal) a name.

He knows about a new shadow organization: Onyx Scar.

More history.

Leandro -

Relago -

I was super tired. And the DM wasn't perfectly clear. I pulled this from DDB.

Leandro Sedhar

Asking for Leandro around town leads the characters to the Giant’s Skull, a welcoming inn made of wood and adobe. Leandro has been staying here for the past few weeks.

Leandro (chaotic good noble) is a tabaxi—a Humanoid with feline features, including claws and a tail. He’s short and stout, with lush, sand-colored fur and thin whiskers. Tiny square glasses frame his amber eyes. He was born in a distant land but has been traveling abroad for nearly twenty years. He arrived in Oztocan a few months ago and is working on a play inspired by the town’s local legends. As a playwright, he often draws inspiration from history.
What Leandro Knows

Leandro welcomes the characters and takes an interest in the shard of Xeluan if they show it to him. He asks to see it more closely but refuses to touch it.

In the course of a conversation, Leandro shares the following information with the characters:

Earthquakes. “Oztocan hasn’t felt earthquakes in years, but quakes have become common in recent weeks. No damage has been done yet, but the quakes are getting worse. It’s only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.”

Rilago. “Years ago, an elf archivist named Rilago claimed to have proof of a giant’s tomb beneath Oztocan. Rilago tried to mount a full-scale excavation, but the mayor wouldn’t allow it. Rilago stayed in Oztocan until his disappearance a few weeks ago—around the time the earthquakes began.”

Tavio. “I recently spoke to the Tavio Solana, the mayor. He grew uncomfortable when I mentioned Rilago. It was Tavio’s father, the previous mayor, who refused to allow the excavation of Xeluan’s tomb. I don’t believe Tavio had anything to do with Rilago’s disappearance, but I can’t help but think Tavio knows something about it.”

Aminta. “Tavio’s sister, Aminta, commands the town guard. Rumor has it she was involved with Rilago romantically.”

Our rogue pulls a playing card off his fancy hat.
It is a giant surrounded by 4 smaller people. The giant is holding something up. The card is torn at the top. It is not clear what the giant is holding.

The object is imbued with magic.

Rumor: a man was carrying this object. He was accosted by bandits. There was a green glow. When he awoke. The bandits were gone, as though they vanished. He was still there, tied up. And the object was there, too.

The nature of the magic imbued in the object is wild, wild & ancient.

Our contract. We will gain full set of eleven chain in return for completion.

He offers us the use of his magical carriage. It is powered by magic but does have a driver.

We depart. It's about a day's travel. It's nighttime.

Arrived: Oztocan.

Vigilant Blessing: Lex
We interact with city guard.
Earthquake last month. (Don't recall if that was when they started or when the last one happened). He told us about the disappearance (of Rilago). There is a tomb under the city. Rilago is archeologist. Exploring tomb. Disappeared. No trace. Had some interactions with ex-mayor's children. Ex-mayor has 2 children
Tavio (m) - current mayor
Aminta (f) - captain of the guard

[ ] spent 12 gold buying information from city guard.

Distracted/sleepy. The rest of the players discovered...
Leandro

Distracted/

We agreed to become actors in Leandro's play. I was assigned baboon.
We travel to a tavern.
Giant Skull. Something about a blue glow.

We assemble below the theater.
It's cool under ground.
[Something illegible] new mineral.

Rilago - there is a buried giant tomb. It has buried treasure. Rilago discovered cave drawings. He made it into a map. Leandro copied the map. We copy that. Rilago was good friends (maybe more) with Aminta. The gang, Onyx Scar, joined the city guard.

Tavio was aware (of something unethical) and was covering for Aminta.

There are 4 suggested ways in:
East ventilation shaft or west ventilation shaft. Some climbing will be necessary.
Main entrance. Some disguises might be helpful.
Fountain / drainage basin (didn't write down more details).

We decided to attempt the main entrance. From the theater costumes Leandro owns, we can make reasonable disguises.

DM: make Deception (how good is your costume) or Perception (how well you can find good costume items).

Good roll: Percep 22

We travel to main entrance.
Guards carry obsidian weapons
We are in "entry chamber"
Slab depicting mountains
This is muster/marshall location. Miners arrive and await their full group. Then guards escort.

We are escorted. Statue room. Statue is missing the heart. Scaffolding.

Those who took a photo of the map with their phones agree on a direction. They choose the direction where there is a room called: Heroes' Rest. And we walk.

Burial chamber. Ghostly male. Ghost of Rilago. They "broke the giant's heart." I sought answers. Found nothing. Nobody would help. Tried both Tavio & Aminta. Ancient adventurers (don't recall significance). Asked about Onyx Scar and caster. We conclude caster may be an innocent hire. Was not part of the original Onyx Scar, at any rate.

Enter crypt.
The shards are most likely to be in the lab.
Caster: Adino.
Lab is on 1st floor.
Find the shards. Free their souls (the 4 adventurers?) by reuniting the shards with the statue.

Amina instructed city guard to become/join Onyx Scar.

The true 2nd shift arrives. We hear voices and suddenly running people wearing gear. We prepare for combat.

...as well as 10 Downtime Days + a level, if you choose to take it.

Hoard Item Option 1: ZEE’S CONTROL
(TEMPERATE STAFF OF HEALING)

Staff, rare (requires attunement by a Bard, Cleric, or Druid)

This staff has 10 charges. While holding the staff, you can cast one of the spells on the following table from it, using your spellcasting ability modifier. The table indicates how many charges you must expend to cast the spell.
Spell Charge Cost
Cure Wounds 1 charge per spell level (maximum 4 for a level 4 spell)
Lesser Restoration 2
Mass Cure Wounds 5

Regaining Charges. The staff regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll 1d20. On a 1, the staff vanishes in a flash of light, lost forever.

A staff marked with the crest of eccentric wandmaker Zee, whose last words were famously, “Wait, stop, undo, UNDO!”

Temperate. You are unharmed by temperatures of 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, and 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.

Hoard Item Option 2: INKSPOT (SENTINEL PORTABLE HOLE: MONSTROSITY)

Wondrous Item, rare

This fine black cloth, soft as silk, is folded up to the dimensions of a handkerchief. It unfolds into a circular sheet 6 feet in diameter.

You can take a Magic action to unfold a Portable Hole and place it on or against a solid surface, whereupon the Portable Hole creates an extradimensional hole 10 feet deep. The cylindrical space within the hole exists on a different plane of existence, so it can’t be used to create open passages. Any creature inside an open Portable Hole can exit the hole by climbing out of it.

You can take a Magic action to close a Portable Hole by taking hold of the edges of the cloth and folding it up. Folding the cloth closes the hole, and any creatures or objects within remain in the extradimensional space. No matter what’s in it, the hole weighs next to nothing.

If the hole is folded up, a creature within the hole’s extradimensional space can take an action to make a DC 10 Strength (Athletics) check. On a successful check, the creature forces its way out and appears within 5 feet of the Portable Hole. A closed Portable Hole holds enough air for 1 hour of breathing, divided by the number of breathing creatures inside.

Placing a Portable Hole inside an extradimensional space created by a Bag of Holding, Heward’s Handy Haversack, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate and not behind Total Cover is sucked through it and deposited in a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can’t be reopened.

When unfolded, the cloth expands like a pool of glossy ink.

Sentinel. The DM chooses a kind of creature, such as mind flayers or trolls. This item glows faintly when such creatures are within 120 feet of it. (Monstrosity)

Hoard Item Option 3: MY BEARDY FACE (SONGCRAFT BELT OF DWARVENKIND)

Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement)

While wearing this belt, you gain the following benefits:

Dwarvish. You know Dwarvish.
Friend of Dwarvenkind. You have Advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks made to interact with dwarves and duergar.
Toughness. Your Constitution increases by 2, to a maximum of 20. In addition, while attuned to the belt, you have a 50 percent chance each day at dawn of growing a full beard if you can grow one, or a thicker beard if you already have one. If you aren’t a dwarf or duergar, you gain the following additional benefits while wearing the belt:
Darkvision. You have Darkvision with a range of 60 feet.
Resilience. You have Resistance to Poison damage. You also have Advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the Poisoned condition.

A jaunty line from an old dwarven song is belted out whenever the wearer is struck: “You ain’t never had a beard like me!”

Songcraft. Whenever this item is struck or is used to strike a foe, you hear a fragment of an ancient song.

MY CHOICE - INKSPOT (SENTINEL PORTABLE HOLE: MONSTROSITY)

Entered on character sheet.

I will choose this one. While, Tandur has no need, it could be useful on Salator, since I did not min/max his abilities and features for damage.

He's more general purpose, indeed, like a bard, and a general item like this could be used creatively in interesting ways.

The Friends We Made Along The Way

You prioritized the people of Nethentir in their time of need, and your kindness will be remembered. As word spreads, you gain one automatic success on a D20 test of your choosing in a FR-DC-THAY adventure.

This applies to any attack roll, saving throw or check, and may be declared before or after the consequence of a roll is known. (It does not grant a Critical Hit.)

When this singular success has been claimed, remove this Story Award from your character.

We have been adventuring in Cobblehook Cove, a camp run by a pirates. The pirates had ransacked the town of Respite and stole 2 sapphire gems from the weathervane. This weathervane was the magic item protecting the city from the elemental plane located very nearby.

We (some of us) rescued Pierre earlier (last week). We begin preparing to adventure further into the pirate (& dragon?) cave. Some new party members join us, having been sent from Respite to replace those who accompanied Pierre back to town.

From the captive last week and from Pierre, we learned there are a couple known areas. There is a treasure trove. There is a kitchen. We expect there to be more pirates. There is a 2nd path. There is a dragon's nest.

We choose a path. We hear pirates singing. We prepare for combat. We enter the cave.

Combat 1
Init 13
Bless

Great DM narration.
The beat up assassin, glows purple. It complements his goth appearance. "Cool. So metal!" he says.

We manage to leave 1 foe alive. We learned some information.

The "captain" is the same as the dragon. It is called Sable Wing. The pirate was terrified to oppose Sable Wing. But as we eliminated his allies, he's fairly scared of us, too. He agrees that if we leave him alive he will escape and flee.

We gather as much information as we can. His name is: J. C. Horace. Tandur gives him 74 gold since he's leaving without any of his, and he was so generous with information. Tandur (not sure of the intentions of the other party members) escorts him to the door. He departs through one set of doors.
Entered on character sheet.

We enter the pirates' treasure trove (the other door). We find 1 of the 2 sapphires. Tandur keeps it.

We depart the cave. We take a short rest in the woods under cover. Although we detected the dragon flying around (and it seemed angry) (we assess that he learned all his pirate were dead or gone).

After a short rest we move back in.

We enter the dragon's cave. He taunts us by showing us the sapphire. "Oh, you want this?" Greenwich attempts to negotiate (being dragonborn). It didn't work, but it bought us maybe a round to spread a little.

Nonetheless Combat 2; and almost all of us get hit with a breath attack.

Eventuatlly, Sable Wing takes flight. We noticed where he flipped the sapphire. Meinfoo who had been in melee with Sable Wing from the start of combat, managed to collect the sapphire. He gestured to Tandur. Tandur said, it's time for us to depart.

Most of us focused on getting out of the cave, while Greenwich distracted the dragon by attacking him.

We managed to get away, all of use alive (except for Dr. Hoo).

We return to the town. We are showered in gifts.

The dragon, having lost his followers, decides to depart.

We begin by helping save people in the burning tavern.

We begin in the town of Respite. It's along the coast. They have a town weather vane. They believe the pirates, north along the coast, in Cobblehook Cove (aka the corsairs) started the fire in the tavern (in addition to / as a distraction to enable) the stealing of the sapphires from out of the eye sockets of the weather vane.

Those sapphires power the magic weather vane to keep Respite safe from the nearby elemental plane of air.

We ask questions and gather more facts from those we saved.
The attackers were poorly trained.
12+ attackers
Hastily looted
Dragon is responsible
The corsairs are partnering with the dragon.
(some notes I can't understand: knew better, destruction)
(something about) breath weapon attacks from the ocean.

A local townsperson, Vottree is concerned for her son, Pierre. He had a yearning for adventure. She fears he may have gotten mixed up with the pirates. Can we save him? Gives description.

Aura of Vitality. This restores, over the course of 1 minute, 20d6 HP. I did this very efficiently in-game. Since I wrote out my rolls, I can now see I rolled 56, compared to the midpoint of the bell curve, of 70. Not so great! Still 56 HP for a 3rd Level Spell Slot is pretty good (compared to other heals).

Thay, a mysterious and terribly powerful magocratic nation in east Faerûn, is long-governed by the Red Wizards.

With Thay's endless pursuit of arcane knowledge and power, there are many dark practices woven into the tapestry of the country's long history of attempting domination over other nations.

Harpers chose us because we are strong adventurers
We've been together for 20 days (2 tendays)

Tharch of Thazalhar

Intro
Tandur, human male, is a multi-class cleric-6 / fighter-4, worshipper of Selune. He likes to be supportive in combat. He thinks he's a decent cleric but not particularly good at speeches (think: low Charisma). He dabbles in arcane magic, and travels with a pet owl (familiar).
Twilight Cleric-6 / Eldritch Knight Fighter-4

A robust outdoorsman with excellent horsemanship and simple tastes
Has expressed admiration for beautiful long tresses; would ideally like a long-haired companion
Hates puffy sleeves due to a childhood trauma with jellyfish
Is allergic to the smell of cloves
Dedicated to his job as a defender of the Thayan border (against possible Mulhorandi attacks)
Unexpectedly egalitarian in his outlook; treats everyone the same no matter a person’s status

Who will it be?
Rhyndaera volunteered. Good thing, said one person, before you were voluntold.

What are our roles in the group?
Tandur is bodyguard. I only came up with that because somebody else suggested it. Otherwise, I would have been unable to answer.

We travel to the mansion. He gives us a tour "prior to the festivities."

We note his guards are sharp.

Walk into a room. Who do you meet?
We choose from handout containing 4 options. Each identifies the success conditions.
We choose Mikald.

1st flashback -
We appear in a room, the Drunken Lion playhouse. [tc- It was not clear to me that it was a flashback.

Snack vendor
Usher
The star is Mikal.
Party member puts ghost pepper into costume in the "privates" area.

[tc- For the first half of the encounter I had no idea what to do. Somebody role-played speaking "sedition" so I went to the handout to see (oh!) the success conditions.

Meet Mikald
It is difficult not to know all about Mikald, as he is well-known for being in plays that satirize Red Wizards and Thayan society as a whole. We know he will be performing this afternoon at the Drunken Lion playhouse in Nethentir, in the tharch of Lapendrar.
Your cover story is that of fans coming to see the play.

Required Success Condition
Find a way to sabotage Mikald in his new play “WIGHT PRIVILEGE” such that he looks like a traitor to Thay, or “bring the house down” to injure him. Yaelend does not care for either traitors or invalids.

[tc- Eventually, I got the idea.
Tandur whispers to the old man. "See that symbol?"

We succeed in embarrassing Mikal.

Return to room. Mikal is accused of treason and is escorted away.

2nd flashback-
Wilderness of Thazalhur.
Yellan arranged a competition of hunting. The best trophy wins. There is another hunter on the site. That's the person we have to beat.

We have arranged for you to join a spell-hunt in Thazalhar alongside Nymia. Word is that the results of this hunt will directly reach Yaelend Hulthroun’s ears, as the Monster Prowl is an event where deadly creatures are to be exterminated by hunters in the most impressive fashion.
Your cover story is the same as what you chose for the ball.
Required Success Condition

Nymia excels at seeking and gutting prey, a skill that Yaelend appreciates as a huntsman himself. Find a way to sabotage her hunt such that he is no longer impressed by her reputation by the time of the Ball.

Jamie, is there a way for me (and only me) to disable the screen re-centering on Roll20?

Combat 1
2 hydras & 1 roc.
We prevail & are returned to the room.

Pointy End
(Waterborne Magic-touched Rapier)
Weapon (rapier), common

In darkness, the unsheathed blade of this sword sheds moonlight, creating bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet.

The name of this sword is carved onto the blade in untidy Elvish: “Pointy End”. Or are the words merely a reminder?

Proficiency with a Rapier allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
This weapon has the following mastery property. To use this property, you must have a feature that lets you use it.

Vex. If you hit a creature with this weapon and deal damage to the creature, you have Advantage on your next attack roll against that creature before the end of your next turn.

Waterborne. This item floats on water and other liquids. You have Advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks to swim.

ATHORA
(history check)
Something about ATHORA if we have a chance to do a history check later. [tc - We never did, so maybe it was the 4th scene that we didn't have time to choose.

3rd flashback -
We have been watching Elion for some time, and discovered that he seeks to be rid of an embarrassing physical condition by visiting Rhaena’s Manypetals. This bathhouse in the city of Amruthar (in the Lapendrar tharch) is renowned for its scented waters and bath treatments.
Your cover story is that of guests to the bathhouse.

Required Success Condition
Elion has come to remove the stink of goat from his scales. Find a way to sabotage him such that he will be repulsive to Yaelend Hulthroun at the Ball.

East room & west room
Perception checks
Message to party

New cover name: Varessa Swiftwind
Sea elf = Riegel

Other patrons "Mikal was a traitor."

Smelling Elion's musk
We manage to put cloves in the bathwater. Why/how did somebody in our party know that cloves would be bad to the dragonborn?

I am QULONE TRYTHKUL, and I will never rest while Tam’s schemes go unchallenged. Laraer for Thay!”

Big as spellplague

Yessir (yeahaw, wahtever his name) takes us to the basement. He reveals a scepter and a lyre.

Mists
“It has been long since I was able to reach out, but today marks the anniversary of my death. I was Tam’s lover before he reached the zenith of his power - before he had me killed.

But foolish Regents see not the future, for you all have a chance to change the fate of this despised nation. Our connection will not last much longer, but I promise I will tell you everything if you seek me in DELHUMIDE.

Call my name when you enter the WHISPERING GHOST’S EMBRACE, and I will find you.

Harper's Tongue
(Sentinel Cli Lyre: Undead)
Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement by a Bard)

An Instrument of the Bards is superior to an ordinary instrument in every way. Seven types of these instruments exist, each named after a bard college. A creature that attempts to play the instrument without being attuned to it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or take 2d4 Psychic damage.

You can play the Cli Lyre to cast one of the following spells: Fly, Invisibility, Levitate, Protection from Evil and Good, Stone Shape, Wall of Fire, and Wind Wall. Once the Cli Lyre has been used to cast a spell, it can’t be used to cast that spell again until the next dawn. The spells use your spellcasting ability and spell save DC.

Flames have charred the famed Harper symbol found on the lacquered back of this lyre, leaving it barely recognizable.

Sentinel. The DM chooses a kind of creature, such as mind flayers or trolls. This item glows faintly when such creatures are within 120 feet of it. (Undead)

Dust of Sneezing and Choking
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
Found in a small container, this powder resembles Dust of Disappearance, and Identify reveals it to be such. There is enough of it for one use.
As a Utilize action, you can throw the dust into the air, forcing yourself and every creature in a 30- foot Emanation originating from you to make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. Constructs, Elementals, Oozes, Plants, and Undead succeed on the save automatically.
On a failed save, a creature begins sneezing uncontrollably; it has the Incapacitated condition and is suffocating. The creature repeats the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. The effect also ends on any creature targeted by a Lesser Restoration spell.

Dust of Disappearance
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
This powder resembles fine sand. There is enough of it for one use. When you take a Utilize action to throw the dust into the air, you and each creature and object within a 10-foot Emanation originating from you have the Invisible condition for 2d4 minutes. The duration is the same for all subjects, and the dust is consumed when its magic takes effect. Immediately after an affected creature makes an attack roll, deals damage, or casts a spell, the Invisible condition ends for that creature.

Our mission is to obtain 3 weapons

Poem
Search ye far or search ye near
You’ll find no trace of the three
Unless you follow instructions clear
For the weapons abide with me.

North past forest, farm and furrow
You must go to the feathered mound
Then down away from the sun you’ll burrow
Forget life, forget light, forget sound.

To rescue Wave, you must do battle
With the Beast in the Boiling Bubble
Crost cavern vast, where chain-links rattle
Lies Whelm, past water-spouts double.

Blackrazor yet remains to be won
Underneath inverted ziggurat.
That garnered, think not that you’re done
For now you’ll find you are caught

I care not, former owners brave
What heroes you seek to hire.
Though mighty, I’ll make each one my slave
Or send him to the fire.

I was relatively satisfied with my regular Bless. It helped a bit. It was not super powerful because most people hit or (obviously) missed before I had a chance to remind them of Bless. I might consider switching to Bane. Also there is a conflict. If I use Concentration for Bless, I cannot also use Moonbeam. Moonbeam is free (subclass), so I can't unprepare it.

Always thanks to John Steele for his spell effects template!

Wave
Weapon (trident), legendary (requires attunement by a creature that worships a god of the sea)

Held in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain, this trident is an exquisite weapon engraved with images of waves, shells, and sea creatures. Although you must worship a god of the sea to attune to this weapon, Wave happily accepts new converts.

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. If you score a critical hit with it, the target takes extra necrotic damage equal to half its hit point maximum.

The weapon also functions as a trident of fish command and a weapon of warning. It can confer the benefit of a cap of water breathing while you hold it, and you can use it as a cube of force by choosing the effect, instead of pressing cube sides to select it.

Sentience: Wave is a sentient weapon of neutral alignment, with an Intelligence of 14, a Wisdom of 10, and a Charisma of 18. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet.

The weapon communicates telepathically with its wielder and can speak, read, and understand Aquan. It can also speak with aquatic animals as if using a speak with animals spell, using telepathy to involve its wielder in the conversation.

Personality: When it grows restless, Wave has a habit of humming tunes that vary from sea chanteys to sacred hymns of the sea gods.

Wave zealously desires to convert mortals to the worship of one or more sea gods, or else to consign the faithless to death. Conflict arises if the wielder fails to further the weapon's objectives in the world. The trident has a nostalgic attachment to the place where it was forged, a desolate island called Thunderforge. A sea god imprisoned a family of storm giants there, and the giants forged Wave in an act of devotion to- or rebellion against-that god.

Wave harbors a secret doubt about its own nature and purpose. For all its devotion to the sea gods, Wave fears that it was intended to bring about a particular sea god's demise. This destiny is something Wave might not be able to avert.

Whelm
Weapon (warhammer), legendary (requires attunement by a dwarf)

Whelm is a powerful warhammer forged by dwarves and lost in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain.

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. At dawn the day after you first make an attack roll with Whelm, you develop a fear of being outdoors that persists as long as you remain attuned to the weapon. This causes you to have disadvantage on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks while you can see the daytime sky.

Thrown Weapon: Whelm has the thrown property, with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. When you hit with a ranged weapon attack using it, the target takes an extra 1d8 bludgeoning damage, or an extra 2d8 bludgeoning damage if the target is a giant. Each time you throw the weapon, it flies back to your hand after the attack. If you don't have a hand free, the weapon lands at your feet.

Shock Wave: You can use an action to strike the ground with Whelm and send a shock wave out from the point of impact. Each creature of your choice on the ground within 60 feet of that point must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become stunned for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Once used, this property can't be used again until the next dawn.

Supernatural Awareness: While you are holding the weapon, it alerts you to the location of any secret or concealed doors within 30 feet of you. In addition, you can use an action to cast detect evil and good or locate object from the weapon. Once you cast either spell, you can't cast it from the weapon again until the next dawn.

Sentience: Whelm is a sentient lawful neutral weapon with an Intelligence of 15, a Wisdom of 12, and a Charisma of 15. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet.

The weapon communicates telepathically with its wielder and can speak, read, and understand Dwarvish. Giant, and Goblin. It shouts battle cries in Dwarvish when used in combat.

Personality: Whelm's purpose is to slaughter giants and goblinoids. It also seeks to protect dwarves against all enemies. Conflict arises if the wielder fails to destroy goblins and giants or to protect dwarves. Whelm has ties to the dwarf clan that created it, variously called the Dankil or the Mightyhammer clan. It longs to be returned to that clan. It would do anything to protect those dwarves from harm. The hammer also carries a secret shame. Centuries ago, a dwarf named Ctenmiir wielded it valiantly for a time. But Ctenmiir was turned into a vampire. His will was strong enough that he bent Whelm to his evil purposes, even killing members of his own clan.

Blackrazor
Weapon (greatsword), legendary (requires attunement by a creature of non-lawful alignment)

Hidden in the dungeon of White Plume Mountain, Blackrazor shines like a piece of night sky filled with stars. Its black scabbard is decorated with pieces of cut obsidian.

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. It has the following additional properties.

Devour Soul. Whenever you use it to reduce a creature to 0 hit points, the sword slays the creature and devours its soul, unless it is a construct or an undead. A creature whose soul has been devoured by Blackrazor can be restored to life only by a wish spell.

When it devours a soul, Blackrazor grants you temporary hit points equal to the slain creature’s hit point maximum. These hit points fade after 24 hours. As long as these temporary hit points last and you keep Blackrazor in hand, you have advantage on attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks.

If you hit an undead with this weapon, you take 1d10 necrotic damage and the target regains 1d10 hit points. If this necrotic damage reduces you to 0 hit points, Blackrazor devours your soul.

Soul Hunter. While you hold the weapon, you are aware of the presence of Tiny or larger creatures within 60 feet of you that aren’t constructs or undead. You also can’t be charmed or frightened.

Blackrazor can cast the haste spell on you once per day. It decides when to cast the spell and maintains concentration on it so that you don’t have to.

Sentience. Blackrazor is a sentient chaotic neutral weapon with an Intelligence of 17, a Wisdom of 10, and a Charisma of 19. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet.

The weapon can speak, read, and understand Common, and can communicate with its wielder telepathically. Its voice is deep and echoing. While you are attuned to it, Blackrazor also understands every language you know.

Personality. Blackrazor speaks with an imperious tone, as though accustomed to being obeyed.

The sword’s purpose is to consume souls. It doesn’t care whose souls it eats, including the wielder’s. The sword believes that all matter and energy sprang from a void of negative energy and will one day return to it. Blackrazor is meant to hurry that process along.

Despite its nihilism, Blackrazor feels a strange kinship to Wave and Whelm, two other weapons locked away under White Plume Mountain. It wants the three weapons to be united again and wielded together in combat, even though it violently disagrees with Whelm and finds Wave tedious.

Blackrazor’s hunger for souls must be regularly fed. If the sword goes three days or more without consuming a soul, a conflict between it and its wielder occurs at the next sunset.

Our party has been invited to the "grand wedding" between High Lord (or sometimes Prince) Araithe and Tarilyn Kendrick.

Web: Araithe is the son of High Lady Ordalf,

He is fey (?) (elf)
She is ffolk.
This arrangement can bring the groups together.
Gossip: this will help unite the islands.

We are on the isle of Gwynneth.

There are visitors and travelers lined up for entry.

Due to our service, we are already inside. Some of us (those with certain Story Awards) have a separate seating at the service.

Kwyjibo & Tandur are at a lower status than the others. The others also get private rooms. We share.

We are invited to a celebration (feels like rehearsal dinner), during which we are met by (a fey) Lady Sinofra. She will ask us later, "What is the promise of blossoms?" Note: there is no correct answer.

Part of noble eladrin. (Who? I didn't note that).

Sound of wonderful, but insistent, singing.

Is the promise of blossoms a tale retold,
A dance of the seasons, both tender and bold?
Is it written in starlight, in roots and in rhyme,
A vow everlasting, by nature designed?

Does the promise of blossoms unite sun and rain,
Each petal a triumph through struggle and pain.
Does it weave through the Feywild, ageless and true,
A story of passion, both timeless and new?

Is it the murmur of leaves in the sun’s warm embrace,
The hum of a bee on its delicate chase?
Is it the courage to bloom where frost lingers near,
An ancient covenant, untouched by fear?

In the promise of blossoms, a question takes flight:
Is it love or friendship that destiny writes?
Does its meaning endure, no matter the name,
And who holds the power to answer its claim?

Tarilyn is up. She is moving towards the sound. We accompany.

Spirt it of ancient queen, High Queen Allison.
Sitting at a spinning wheel.
Red thread (that's not ominous)

Lady Siofra
created glamour of ___
High Lord is in stasis.
Testing Tarilyn; if you are certain of love.

In order to join Tarilyn, some must prick finger on needle of spinning wheel. Tandur agrees. -1 HP.

Must clear the brambles. But that requires completing tests in the library. There are 4 alcoves, each with a book connected by a red thread to the spinning wheel.

Books
• The Cinder Maid’s Tale
• Midsummer’s Dream
• Nussknacker and the Mouse King
• Thumbelina

Once we complete the tests, up to 4, we can then deal with the tower guardians. Then Tarilyn can awaken the High Lord via kiss or touch.

It's 12:30 (00:30); we have about 6 hours.

4 choices; not all are requrired. How else would love triumph.

Each successful (library) test will clear some of the brambles.

The first we choose is "Cinder Maid." We fade out / fade in...

... to a ballroom.

We see Araithe.
Herald announces.
Get Araithe and Tarilyn to dance. Need filled-out dance card.

Success.

Return to library.

Some brambles have been removed, but enough remain to still block the way.

We choose "Nussknacker"

Grandfather clock. We are small.
We are among toy soldiers.
Invading mice.

Soldiers attempt to ascend stairs.
Mice poised to prevent.
Wheels.

Really, really unclear the physical setting.

Disadv. on DEX Saves (then Checks) from now on.

Init.
Owl is also a toy.

Large gear to small gear.

At transition, make Athletics or Acrobatics.
Tandur stuck, but no damage.
Helped by ally.

Sequence: gear - transition - gear

Temp HP

At the top fight:
7-headed mouse with crown (later: hydra mouse or mouse king)

We prevail.

Must convince Araithe to remove mask.

Tandur: Country is important, but for the future relationship matter more.

Break

(Short rest? )

Climb tower.

Dragon (Siofra) breathes cloud of spores

Dragon > Kwyjibo. Killed owl.

Reset owl.
Recorded

We fight. Dragon almost dead. Another hit.
It becomes 2 smaller dragons.

Eventually, we each make our way to the coffin. One-by-one, we activate a magic latch. "What is the promise of blossoms?" Uh, love! That was good enough.

Queen appears.

Something about Siofra.

Recorded

POTION OF ADVANTAGE
Potion, uncommon
When you drink this potion, you gain advantage on one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw of your choice that you make within the next hour.
This potion takes the form of a sparkling, golden mist that moves and pours like water.
Recorded

POTION OF GROWTH
Potion, uncommon
When you drink this potion, you gain the "enlarge" effect of the Enlarge/Reduce spell for 10 minutes (no Concentration required).
The red in the potion's liquid continuously expands from a tiny bead to color the clear liquid around it and then contracts. Shaking the bottle fails to interrupt this process.
Recorded

POTION OF PUGILISM
Potion, uncommon
After you drink this potion, each Unarmed Strike you make deals an extra 1d6 Force damage on a hit. This effect lasts 10 minutes.
This potion is a thick green fluid that tastes like spinach.
Recorded

CLOAK OF MANY FASHIONS
Wondrous Item, Common
This cloak is woven from supple wool dyed a forest green. Silver and gold thread form intricate knotwork along the edges. The golden threads shimmer under sunlight, while the silver threads glow softly under moonlight.

While wearing this cloak, you can take a Bonus Action to change the style, color, and apparent quality of the garment. The cloak’s weight doesn’t change. Regardless of its appearance, the cloak can’t be anything but a cloak. Although it can duplicate the appearance of other magic cloaks, it doesn’t gain their magical properties.
Recorded

NETHERESE RING OF PROTECTION
Ring, Rare (requires attunement)
This green glass ring is etched with protective runes and shimmers with an iridescent sheen, even in dim light. A red thread is wrapped around it in a cluster of elegant loops, so lustrous that it could be mistaken for a gemstone at first glance.

You gain a +1 bonus to AC and saving throws while wearing this ring.
The ring is made from a single piece of mystical green glass that’s stronger than steel. It has the added property of making the wearer less likely to drop or lose anything held in the hand the ring is on. The wearer receives a +4 bonus to saving throws or checks made to avoid dropping or being disarmed of any item held in that hand.
Recorded

STORY WEAVER (Story Award)
You are known amongst the fey for being an epic teller of stories, having helped pen the tale of Tarilyn Kendrick and High Lord Araithe’s union. They may find your tall tales more believable in the future, if they match the format of a traditional fairytale.
