While leaving dungeon, we collect emerald (250g) & Lantern of Revealing. We discover (or pass again) a mural on wall depicting mindflayer ritual.

Travel to Phandalin.
Crowd near Shrine of Luck. Three locals acting animalistic, feral. We subdue them, tie them up and investigate the situation. We instruct locals to lock the "ferals" in the Stone Hill Inn.

Our investigation leads to the Sleeping Giant Inn. We question the 2 people there: a drunk and the bartender. Bartender says something about "great and terrible mind."

We discover a tunnel and follow it... for miles.
First fork: we go right
Second fork: we go left
At the bottom of a chasm we discover the journal of Thorgrin Ironquill (worth 450g)

We meet people who were being kidnapped by goblins. Something 'took' the goblins. We prepare for combat. Evaelyn (Rhyndera) insists on departing to guide the rescued people to safety.

Combat begins against "brain creatures"

We prevail.

We discover leather scraps (no value?) & Careful Mind Crystal.

We do not depart the tunnel.
Session ends.

When we left off, we had encountered a small hole, through which we could see an encampment. The Bear went into the encampment. But that player is not present tonight.

We attempt to follow the trail of the goblins with human (townsfolk) captives.

We move on. We encounter a group of six Quaggoth.
C1 init 12

We kill 5. The sixth surrenders. We gain a little information.

We explore further. Door with green light coming through the crack. We open the door. 2 mind flayers (illithids). We attack. Tarenth gets grappled and stunned. Most of the rest of us get stunned at distance (only 1 round). We had enough allies still active that we didn't get too damaged. We killed one. The second tried to teleport, but Counterspell prevented that. We killed it. We kept 2 heads (bag of holding) in case we want to speak with dead.

In the room is a stone statue of a mind flayer with a brain in each hand. It wears a pendant. The brains move (change?) when we aren't looking. There is a glow of green coming off it. There is no magic. We detect the trace of teleportation magic.

The goblin/captive tracks end here. We find a closet built for and containing more mind flayer robes. We explore rooms.

Perfume, gem. - see loot

A door has a placard saying something like:
she of sacred flight and knows only the truth

We find a room with 2 prison cells. Under the trash on the ground a scrawled message:
3 monsters lead them all

We enter various rooms. One contains a gray skinned mind flayer. The usual ones have purple skin. She asks if we are there to join. We explain we got separated from our goblin allies. We attempt to get information. She shows us in her floating crystal a set of doors down a hallway south of the battle.
First door on the left.

Finally she offers information as to the destination of the prisoners. They went 3 ways. Some to:
Chishinix
Hashutu
Voalsh

Desk with letters in Undercommon.
Ink well - see loot

A mind flayer doing a dissection of a non human creature with a lot of eyes. We can't determine more. Also there are two 1-eyed creatures in that room.

We continue north. We find a large prison room.
My notes indicate we will start with a fight. I didn't write down what we saw.
End session.

Loot
5 x 500 gp bottles of perfume
Subtle Mind Crystal to character sheet
Ink well: 280 gold
2780 / 7 = 397 gold each.
Added to character sheet.

Tandur: Dice made from dyed wood in an assortment of colors

Hey there! Thanks for playing PO-BMG-MOONCA-POB-01 - The Joust of Roses today with me, Kurt Hoffstaetter, during Slot 2.

All characters earn the following:

Level Milestone
10 Downtime Days
1,000 gp (5,000 gp divided) -- on character sheet
Five Star Sapphires (1,000 gp each)
Woodcutter's Axe
Fabulist Gem
Saddle of the Cavalier

Woodcutter's Axe- now on character sheet
Weapon (Greataxe), Rare
You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

When you use this axe to make an attack against a plant (an ordinary plant or a creature with the Plant type) or a wooden object that isn’t being worn or carried, the attack deals an extra 2d6 slashing damage on a hit.

Fabulist Gem- now on character sheet
Wondrous Item, Uncommon (Requires Attunement)
This glittering red gem is commonly found embedded in a ring or brooch.
While wearing the gem, you gain the following benefits.

Counterfeit Coins. You can use your action to magically create a pile of coins, worth no more than 100 gp total, in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of yourself. The pile must appear on a surface that can support it. After 1 hour, the coins vanish, regardless of where they are. Once this action is used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Illusory Fashion. As a bonus action, you can magically change the appearance of your clothing and armor. You can change the style, color, and apparent quality of what you’re wearing, or you can make it appear as if you were wearing different garments entirely. In either case, the changes wrought by this magic fail to pass physical inspection.

Saddle of the Cavalier - now on character sheet
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
While in this saddle on a mount, you can't be dismounted against your will if you're conscious, and attack rolls against the mount have disadvantage.

We begin in Castle Caer Callwell, the location of the upcoming wedding, only a few days away. We are summoned to the war room; some have been here before. King, queen and princess want us to personally deliver invitations to guest in the castle. This is an old tradition originating in Waterdeep.

Bride comes from Waterdeep. Her mother and father are not present. ? That doesn't sound right.

Queen missed it Kendrick
King Dav...
Princess Taralina

Invitations are done using the Seals of Approval ceremony.

Process
1. Deliver food
2. Deliver invitation
3. Guest responds negatively
4. Act surprised
5. Attempt to convince guest
6. Guest relents, accepts and offers a gift, which used to be an official seal, but now is an object to fit into a piece of jewelry, necklace or bracelet.

A man rushes in. They confer.
Oh, we must ask you for an additional task. All the wedding gifts have been stolen. As you deliver the invitations, see if you can gather information about the stolen gifts.

We are tasked with 4 invitations.

  1. Feyren, a satyr
    He complains about the noise.
    Jarik offers to make stylish earmuffs.
    And we have to steal a bottle of wine. We succeed. He accepts.
    He gives gift of wooden object.
    He seems to have been only around the study or his quarters.
    We further discuss his knowledge of the property. He is concerned with growing crops in the harsh soil.

  2. Captain Kree & ?
    One is playful and acts like a pirate. When Tandur offers to spar, he admits he's not a real pirate.
    They decline because if the princess relocates the local parties will cease. We suggest party boats, pirate party boats. Success.
    No clues about the stolen gifts.

3.
Lord Aster & Lady Artemiz.
Very concerned with linage, fashion, gossip & status.
They object because the princess' parents will be lonely.
We persuade mentioning the pirate boats. Success.
We had no ideas how to get more info, as they deigned to pay us much attention.
They did mention something about forgery in Waterdeep.

4.
Name + name
in love, feed each other food.
One is alchemist, the other herbalist.
Objection: no love spoons. Jarik makes some.
Invitation: success.
We detect the herbalist doesn't know very much and was reluctant to be fed food.

We report to queen. She agrees they are suspicious. She summons them. The man changes form into a female fey, and vanishes. Seems to have teleported. We conclude this is the thief and may have captured the real husband.

The queen summons all the guests. They offer to help. We need to investigate the town.

New handout, a whole page.
For future reference, I cannot read (and internalize) rules while the game is going on. I need to actively separate from the game and read the new rules.

4 tasks
Help druids
Listen to rumors in bars
Craft stuff
& ?

We work on them as best we can. Earning points to be converted immediately or later into spells or objects.

What we learn
There are new rogues here, from Waterdeep, from the Shadow Thieves.
Satch, the hag, is probably involved, possibly as the fence.
The Shadow Thieves have the job to steal the goods. The locals feel overlooked.
The hag has an encampment
The Shadow Thieves have an encampment near Wintergreen.
Satch is looking for something of high quality, expensive.
Gnome alchemist, in-town for trading, seems to know more than he can reveal. Has mixed memories, missing memories.
Dispel Magic. Partial success.
He reveals the description of the stone cottage. A spider on the ceiling attempts to get away. Kwyjibo kills it.
TC: In hindsight, that probably prevented them from being prepared.

Long Rest
We stop by druids in the morning. Earn more points. Eat food for +20 Max HP.
Vigilant blessing
Healing potions. Never used, so returned.
Teleport to encampment.

Stone cottage with tents. We reconnoiter. We decide to enter where the voices are after using Silence. One runs into an adjacent tent. The first surrenders silently. The other is attacked and also surrenders. We learn about the plan. The hag is in the cottage with her boss.

The hag needed the loot for a ritual which had started. The loot in the other tent is being consumed by insects. Some items have already been lost. But we can take the rest after removing the insects. We have difficulty freeing the captive husband. Voices in the cottage are alerted. We flee.

We return with the remaining loot.
Partial success.

Loot
Thank you for completing the adventure with me today, I hope you had a good time and enjoyed it.

For completing the adventure your character is entitled to the following:

Gain one level
3,000gp split equally amongst the party (1,000 gp each) - now on character sheet

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.

Rewards

Rewards: level if you wish, 10 DT, 200 gp
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.

While leaving dungeon, we collect emerald (250g) & Lantern of Revealing. We discover (or pass again) a mural on wall depicting mindflayer ritual.

Travel to Phandalin.
Crowd near Shrine of Luck. Three locals acting animalistic, feral. We subdue them, tie them up and investigate the situation. We instruct locals to lock the "ferals" in the Stone Hill Inn.

Our investigation leads to the Sleeping Giant Inn. We question the 2 people there: a drunk and the bartender. Bartender says something about "great and terrible mind."

We discover a tunnel and follow it... for miles.
First fork: we go right
Second fork: we go left
At the bottom of a chasm we discover the journal of Thorgrin Ironquill (worth 450g)

We meet people who were being kidnapped by goblins. Something 'took' the goblins. We prepare for combat. Evaelyn (Rhyndera) insists on departing to guide the rescued people to safety.

Combat begins against "brain creatures"

We prevail.

We discover leather scraps (no value?) & Careful Mind Crystal.

We do not depart the tunnel.
Session ends.

When we left off, we had encountered a small hole, through which we could see an encampment. The Bear went into the encampment. But that player is not present tonight.

We attempt to follow the trail of the goblins with human (townsfolk) captives.

We move on. We encounter a group of six Quaggoth.
C1 init 12

We kill 5. The sixth surrenders. We gain a little information.

We explore further. Door with green light coming through the crack. We open the door. 2 mind flayers (illithids). We attack. Tarenth gets grappled and stunned. Most of the rest of us get stunned at distance (only 1 round). We had enough allies still active that we didn't get too damaged. We killed one. The second tried to teleport, but Counterspell prevented that. We killed it. We kept 2 heads (bag of holding) in case we want to speak with dead.

In the room is a stone statue of a mind flayer with a brain in each hand. It wears a pendant. The brains move (change?) when we aren't looking. There is a glow of green coming off it. There is no magic. We detect the trace of teleportation magic.

The goblin/captive tracks end here. We find a closet built for and containing more mind flayer robes. We explore rooms.

Perfume, gem. - see loot

A door has a placard saying something like:
she of sacred flight and knows only the truth

We find a room with 2 prison cells. Under the trash on the ground a scrawled message:
3 monsters lead them all

We enter various rooms. One contains a gray skinned mind flayer. The usual ones have purple skin. She asks if we are there to join. We explain we got separated from our goblin allies. We attempt to get information. She shows us in her floating crystal a set of doors down a hallway south of the battle.
First door on the left.

Finally she offers information as to the destination of the prisoners. They went 3 ways. Some to:
Chishinix
Hashutu
Voalsh

Desk with letters in Undercommon.
Ink well - see loot

A mind flayer doing a dissection of a non human creature with a lot of eyes. We can't determine more. Also there are two 1-eyed creatures in that room.

We continue north. We find a large prison room.
My notes indicate we will start with a fight. I didn't write down what we saw.
End session.

Loot
5 x 500 gp bottles of perfume
Subtle Mind Crystal to character sheet
Ink well: 280 gold
2780 / 7 = 397 gold each.

Tandur: Dice made from dyed wood in an assortment of colors

Hey there! Thanks for playing PO-BMG-MOONCA-POB-01 - The Joust of Roses today with me, Kurt Hoffstaetter, during Slot 2.

All characters earn the following:

Level Milestone
10 Downtime Days
1,000 gp (5,000 gp divided) -- on character sheet
Five Star Sapphires (1,000 gp each)
Woodcutter's Axe
Fabulist Gem
Saddle of the Cavalier

Woodcutter's Axe- now on character sheet
Weapon (Greataxe), Rare
You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

When you use this axe to make an attack against a plant (an ordinary plant or a creature with the Plant type) or a wooden object that isn’t being worn or carried, the attack deals an extra 2d6 slashing damage on a hit.

Fabulist Gem- now on character sheet
Wondrous Item, Uncommon (Requires Attunement)
This glittering red gem is commonly found embedded in a ring or brooch.
While wearing the gem, you gain the following benefits.

Counterfeit Coins. You can use your action to magically create a pile of coins, worth no more than 100 gp total, in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of yourself. The pile must appear on a surface that can support it. After 1 hour, the coins vanish, regardless of where they are. Once this action is used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Illusory Fashion. As a bonus action, you can magically change the appearance of your clothing and armor. You can change the style, color, and apparent quality of what you’re wearing, or you can make it appear as if you were wearing different garments entirely. In either case, the changes wrought by this magic fail to pass physical inspection.

Saddle of the Cavalier - now on character sheet
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
While in this saddle on a mount, you can't be dismounted against your will if you're conscious, and attack rolls against the mount have disadvantage.

We begin in Castle Caer Callwell, the location of the upcoming wedding, only a few days away. We are summoned to the war room; some have been here before. King, queen and princess want us to personally deliver invitations to guest in the castle. This is an old tradition originating in Waterdeep.

Bride comes from Waterdeep. Her mother and father are not present. ? That doesn't sound right.

Queen missed it Kendrick
King Dav...
Princess Taralina

Invitations are done using the Seals of Approval ceremony.

Process
1. Deliver food
2. Deliver invitation
3. Guest responds negatively
4. Act surprised
5. Attempt to convince guest
6. Guest relents, accepts and offers a gift, which used to be an official seal, but now is an object to fit into a piece of jewelry, necklace or bracelet.

A man rushes in. They confer.
Oh, we must ask you for an additional task. All the wedding gifts have been stolen. As you deliver the invitations, see if you can gather information about the stolen gifts.

We are tasked with 4 invitations.

  1. Feyren, a satyr
    He complains about the noise.
    Jarik offers to make stylish earmuffs.
    And we have to steal a bottle of wine. We succeed. He accepts.
    He gives gift of wooden object.
    He seems to have been only around the study or his quarters.
    We further discuss his knowledge of the property. He is concerned with growing crops in the harsh soil.

  2. Captain Kree & ?
    One is playful and acts like a pirate. When Tandur offers to spar, he admits he's not a real pirate.
    They decline because if the princess relocates the local parties will cease. We suggest party boats, pirate party boats. Success.
    No clues about the stolen gifts.

3.
Lord Aster & Lady Artemiz.
Very concerned with linage, fashion, gossip & status.
They object because the princess' parents will be lonely.
We persuade mentioning the pirate boats. Success.
We had no ideas how to get more info, as they deigned to pay us much attention.
They did mention something about forgery in Waterdeep.

4.
Name + name
in love, feed each other food.
One is alchemist, the other herbalist.
Objection: no love spoons. Jarik makes some.
Invitation: success.
We detect the herbalist doesn't know very much and was reluctant to be fed food.

We report to queen. She agrees they are suspicious. She summons them. The man changes form into a female fey, and vanishes. Seems to have teleported. We conclude this is the thief and may have captured the real husband.

The queen summons all the guests. They offer to help. We need to investigate the town.

New handout, a whole page.
For future reference, I cannot read (and internalize) rules while the game is going on. I need to actively separate from the game and read the new rules.

4 tasks
Help druids
Listen to rumors in bars
Craft stuff
& ?

We work on them as best we can. Earning points to be converted immediately or later into spells or objects.

What we learn
There are new rogues here, from Waterdeep, from the Shadow Thieves.
Satch, the hag, is probably involved, possibly as the fence.
The Shadow Thieves have the job to steal the goods. The locals feel overlooked.
The hag has an encampment
The Shadow Thieves have an encampment near Wintergreen.
Satch is looking for something of high quality, expensive.
Gnome alchemist, in-town for trading, seems to know more than he can reveal. Has mixed memories, missing memories.
Dispel Magic. Partial success.
He reveals the description of the stone cottage. A spider on the ceiling attempts to get away. Kwyjibo kills it.
TC: In hindsight, that probably prevented them from being prepared.

Long Rest
We stop by druids in the morning. Earn more points. Eat food for +20 Max HP.
Vigilant blessing
Healing potions. Never used, so returned.
Teleport to encampment.

Stone cottage with tents. We reconnoiter. We decide to enter where the voices are after using Silence. One runs into an adjacent tent. The first surrenders silently. The other is attacked and also surrenders. We learn about the plan. The hag is in the cottage with her boss.

The hag needed the loot for a ritual which had started. The loot in the other tent is being consumed by insects. Some items have already been lost. But we can take the rest after removing the insects. We have difficulty freeing the captive husband. Voices in the cottage are alerted. We flee.

We return with the remaining loot.
Partial success.

Loot
Thank you for completing the adventure with me today, I hope you had a good time and enjoyed it.

For completing the adventure your character is entitled to the following:

Gain one level
3,000gp split equally amongst the party (1,000 gp each) - now on character sheet

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.

While leaving dungeon, we collect emerald (250g) & Lantern of Revealing. We discover (or pass again) a mural on wall depicting mindflayer ritual.

Travel to Phandalin.
Crowd near Shrine of Luck. Three locals acting animalistic, feral. We subdue them, tie them up and investigate the situation. We instruct locals to lock the "ferals" in the Stone Hill Inn.

Our investigation leads to the Sleeping Giant Inn. We question the 2 people there: a drunk and the bartender. Bartender says something about "great and terrible mind."

We discover a tunnel and follow it... for miles.
First fork: we go right
Second fork: we go left
At the bottom of a chasm we discover the journal of Thorgrin Ironquill (worth 450g)

We meet people who were being kidnapped by goblins. Something 'took' the goblins. We prepare for combat. Evaelyn (Rhyndera) insists on departing to guide the rescued people to safety.

Combat begins against "brain creatures"

We prevail.

We discover leather scraps (no value?) & Careful Mind Crystal.

We do not depart the tunnel.
Session ends.

When we left off, we had encountered a small hole, through which we could see an encampment. The Bear went into the encampment. But that player is not present tonight.

We attempt to follow the trail of the goblins with human (townsfolk) captives.

We move on. We encounter a group of six Quaggoth.
C1 init 12

We kill 5. The sixth surrenders. We gain a little information.

We explore further. Door with green light coming through the crack. We open the door. 2 mind flayers (illithids). We attack. Tarenth gets grappled and stunned. Most of the rest of us get stunned at distance (only 1 round). We had enough allies still active that we didn't get too damaged. We killed one. The second tried to teleport, but Counterspell prevented that. We killed it. We kept 2 heads (bag of holding) in case we want to speak with dead.

In the room is a stone statue of a mind flayer with a brain in each hand. It wears a pendant. The brains move (change?) when we aren't looking. There is a glow of green coming off it. There is no magic. We detect the trace of teleportation magic.

The goblin/captive tracks end here. We find a closet built for and containing more mind flayer robes. We explore rooms.

Perfume, gem. - see loot

A door has a placard saying something like:
she of sacred flight and knows only the truth

We find a room with 2 prison cells. Under the trash on the ground a scrawled message:
3 monsters lead them all

We enter various rooms. One contains a gray skinned mind flayer. The usual ones have purple skin. She asks if we are there to join. We explain we got separated from our goblin allies. We attempt to get information. She shows us in her floating crystal a set of doors down a hallway south of the battle.
First door on the left.

Finally she offers information as to the destination of the prisoners. They went 3 ways. Some to:
Chishinix
Hashutu
Voalsh

Desk with letters in Undercommon.
Ink well - see loot

A mind flayer doing a dissection of a non human creature with a lot of eyes. We can't determine more. Also there are two 1-eyed creatures in that room.

We continue north. We find a large prison room.
My notes indicate we will start with a fight. I didn't write down what we saw.
End session.

Loot
5 x 500 gp bottles of perfume
Subtle Mind Crystal to character sheet
Ink well: 280 gold
2780 / 7 = 397 gold each.

Tandur: Dice made from dyed wood in an assortment of colors

Hey there! Thanks for playing PO-BMG-MOONCA-POB-01 - The Joust of Roses today with me, Kurt Hoffstaetter, during Slot 2.

All characters earn the following:

Level Milestone
10 Downtime Days
1,000 gp (5,000 gp divided) -- on character sheet
Five Star Sapphires (1,000 gp each)
Woodcutter's Axe
Fabulist Gem
Saddle of the Cavalier

Woodcutter's Axe- now on character sheet
Weapon (Greataxe), Rare
You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

When you use this axe to make an attack against a plant (an ordinary plant or a creature with the Plant type) or a wooden object that isn’t being worn or carried, the attack deals an extra 2d6 slashing damage on a hit.

Fabulist Gem- now on character sheet
Wondrous Item, Uncommon (Requires Attunement)
This glittering red gem is commonly found embedded in a ring or brooch.
While wearing the gem, you gain the following benefits.

Counterfeit Coins. You can use your action to magically create a pile of coins, worth no more than 100 gp total, in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of yourself. The pile must appear on a surface that can support it. After 1 hour, the coins vanish, regardless of where they are. Once this action is used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Illusory Fashion. As a bonus action, you can magically change the appearance of your clothing and armor. You can change the style, color, and apparent quality of what you’re wearing, or you can make it appear as if you were wearing different garments entirely. In either case, the changes wrought by this magic fail to pass physical inspection.

Saddle of the Cavalier - now on character sheet
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
While in this saddle on a mount, you can't be dismounted against your will if you're conscious, and attack rolls against the mount have disadvantage.

We begin in Castle Caer Callwell, the location of the upcoming wedding, only a few days away. We are summoned to the war room; some have been here before. King, queen and princess want us to personally deliver invitations to guest in the castle. This is an old tradition originating in Waterdeep.

Bride comes from Waterdeep. Her mother and father are not present. ? That doesn't sound right.

Queen missed it Kendrick
King Dav...
Princess Taralina

Invitations are done using the Seals of Approval ceremony.

Process
1. Deliver food
2. Deliver invitation
3. Guest responds negatively
4. Act surprised
5. Attempt to convince guest
6. Guest relents, accepts and offers a gift, which used to be an official seal, but now is an object to fit into a piece of jewelry, necklace or bracelet.

A man rushes in. They confer.
Oh, we must ask you for an additional task. All the wedding gifts have been stolen. As you deliver the invitations, see if you can gather information about the stolen gifts.

We are tasked with 4 invitations.

  1. Feyren, a satyr
    He complains about the noise.
    Jarik offers to make stylish earmuffs.
    And we have to steal a bottle of wine. We succeed. He accepts.
    He gives gift of wooden object.
    He seems to have been only around the study or his quarters.
    We further discuss his knowledge of the property. He is concerned with growing crops in the harsh soil.

  2. Captain Kree & ?
    One is playful and acts like a pirate. When Tandur offers to spar, he admits he's not a real pirate.
    They decline because if the princess relocates the local parties will cease. We suggest party boats, pirate party boats. Success.
    No clues about the stolen gifts.

3.
Lord Aster & Lady Artemiz.
Very concerned with linage, fashion, gossip & status.
They object because the princess' parents will be lonely.
We persuade mentioning the pirate boats. Success.
We had no ideas how to get more info, as they deigned to pay us much attention.
They did mention something about forgery in Waterdeep.

4.
Name + name
in love, feed each other food.
One is alchemist, the other herbalist.
Objection: no love spoons. Jarik makes some.
Invitation: success.
We detect the herbalist doesn't know very much and was reluctant to be fed food.

We report to queen. She agrees they are suspicious. She summons them. The man changes form into a female fey, and vanishes. Seems to have teleported. We conclude this is the thief and may have captured the real husband.

The queen summons all the guests. They offer to help. We need to investigate the town.

New handout, a whole page.
For future reference, I cannot read (and internalize) rules while the game is going on. I need to actively separate from the game and read the new rules.

4 tasks
Help druids
Listen to rumors in bars
Craft stuff
& ?

We work on them as best we can. Earning points to be converted immediately or later into spells or objects.

What we learn
There are new rogues here, from Waterdeep, from the Shadow Thieves.
Satch, the hag, is probably involved, possibly as the fence.
The Shadow Thieves have the job to steal the goods. The locals feel overlooked.
The hag has an encampment
The Shadow Thieves have an encampment near Wintergreen.
Satch is looking for something of high quality, expensive.
Gnome alchemist, in-town for trading, seems to know more than he can reveal. Has mixed memories, missing memories.
Dispel Magic. Partial success.
He reveals the description of the stone cottage. A spider on the ceiling attempts to get away. Kwyjibo kills it.
TC: In hindsight, that probably prevented them from being prepared.

Long Rest
We stop by druids in the morning. Earn more points. Eat food for +20 Max HP.
Vigilant blessing
Healing potions. Never used, so returned.
Teleport to encampment.

Stone cottage with tents. We reconnoiter. We decide to enter where the voices are after using Silence. One runs into an adjacent tent. The first surrenders silently. The other is attacked and also surrenders. We learn about the plan. The hag is in the cottage with her boss.

The hag needed the loot for a ritual which had started. The loot in the other tent is being consumed by insects. Some items have already been lost. But we can take the rest after removing the insects. We have difficulty freeing the captive husband. Voices in the cottage are alerted. We flee.

We return with the remaining loot.
Partial success.

Loot
Thank you for completing the adventure with me today, I hope you had a good time and enjoyed it.

For completing the adventure your character is entitled to the following:

Gain one level
3,000gp split equally amongst the party (1,000 gp each) - now on character sheet

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.
