25 Alturiak 1491
Fun Facts:
- Nathaniel: does not eat breakfast, for its benefits are much overrated
- Cereen: lately all that she has been thinking about, apart from Blue Eyes of course, is saving Manfred’s children from Spine the devil. She feels she abandoned her promise.
- Blue Eyes: has started writing a new novelle called the Fifty Shades of Blue
- Falcion: communes with mistreated horses to free them and start a sanctuary with the purpose of giving them sentience. How this all will play out…no one knows…
The party wakes up on the 24th of Alturiak in Saerloon. While Cereen and Blue Eyes lie cosy together in bed, Nathaniel and Vanniya head over to the large Sembian Library. There is the local scribe and the mage tower adjacent. The clerk helps them and Vanniya makes a name with him and donates some money for good service. They find a book which tells a slightly different tale than the doctrine set by the Helmites about the history involving the tale of Vyncent Pharrey. He seemed to go on missions to the Feywild himself and he presumably died there (around 175 years ago). The scholar concludes that it was there that he was encased in the book. The book was returned to Helm’s temple in Saerloon. There it was found out that Vyncent could manifest from this book to fight alongside a devout follower of Helm. In later years this book was used by various Helmites in their struggles and adventures. The latest being 150 years ago. Presumably there was a war in the Feywild around the city of Len’levinehl where Titans tried to destroy the city. The elves of this city, aided by dragons and the aformentioned party fought these Titans and fought them bravely. This was told by one of the survivors, Elroreth Galvros Nillendil, Vanniya’s father. It was him who brought the damaged book back to a temple of Helm. After this event the Feywild was unreachable from this realm until recent years.
Furthermore: in this library Vanniya discovers how to open the puzzlebox with the help of the friendly librarian whose name I have forgotten already… Followed by buying himself in the mage tower to gain access to the teleportation circle.
Later that day Nathaniel and Blue Eyes share a deeply religious moment together and find out that the flute needs attunement in a special place which came in the form of a vision. Nathaniel also gained inspiration and future knowledge.
Falcion set out to find mistreated animals, a fact of which the DM was unaware for the fun fact was told after this event :-). Only to find well fed horsey’s on the gounds of the carnival faire. After gaining renown for his feat of strength on the jackhammer he earned a whopping 2 SP.
In the afternoon the party set out for Shadowdale by portal, traveling further the next day to arrive in Ashabenfort on the 25th in the late afternoon. Cereen introduced her boyfriend to her mum. Blue Eyes, always the gentleman, brought some roadside grasses to his brave, selfsufficient and strong woman who raised two magnificent almost angels. She already knew Blue Eyes by reputation and was easily enthralled by his words and accepted the gift of grass no questions asked.
Vanniya took a moment of quiet for herself and headed in the forest to make a portal to Len’levinehl to announce her return to the city in the coming days.
