- The party wanted to leave the feywild. 'Tis a silly place.
- We made an agreement with Dapple The Water Lady (aka an undead spirit artificially bound to a specific location & element). We will recover a magical ring engraved with a tree that has six holes through the leaves.
- Along the way we picked up some vials of Linden Sap, raw liquid magic than can be refined into may useful things. Also we found the remains of a dead ranger and a tool called a hookshot.
- An important figure we were introduced to during our quest is Verian, The Lord of Vines. He has the disposition (and maybe the power) of a stereotypical archfey . He & Ein vibed. He gave Ein his card in case of any future business deals that may be of mutual benefit.
- Another notable figure is an elven woman called Sangradril. She had been under a geas spell and had done some shady shit with the magical rings. Turns out there were two of them.
- We learned of Fey Docents, crystals that filter the magic of the feywild & prevent the land's wild magic effects during spell casting
- Our quest had some unexpected twists, but we completed it. Dapple sent us back to the material plane through her water magic. But before we left she gifted Ein with something that remains secret to all but her & Ein.
- On our way back the material plane we were diverted into a dark metallic place. There was a tree made of an obsidian looking material. Red eyes appear on the tree. "I am Dark Bloom," it said. A terrifying twisted & distorted humanoid jumped out from behind the tree and lunged at the party. Before it could intercept us our Cosmic Dog friend came out of nowhere and shut down the whole situation. We found ourselves being sent back though the water to the material plane once again.
- Back in Sharn. (Yay.) We need to meet a contact, Benal Gelem. He was Preston Digitation's aid. In an alley behind a bar called the Midnight Lounge we discover Benal has been killed. A warforged tried to trick us to acquire the key. When that failed she attacked. After a crazy fight we prevailed and headed to Richard's Bar to meet Kyle Fleshgorger (leader of the Storm's Hammer & a high level paladin.)
- Note the warforged droped the name Ray O'frost. (Maybe this is important?)
- On the way to the bar Seargent Polon (Badge # 4513) stopped us for questioning. We were guarded about the whole situation so he said he was going to speak with us more the next day at Ein's House. BTW, the next day, no one ever showed up for further questioning.
- At Richard's Bar we met Kyle. We shared our story, discussed The Key (key to the creation forge under Sharn), saw some strange blue eyes watching us through the window, and learned some things:
- New leader of Daask is The Sythe. Seen only once, inhuman / monstrous, since taking over the organization it has become more organize, efficient, & dangerous.
- The Sythe's two main lackeys are Gont Ashe, an undeead Karrnathy warrior. And The Raven, not much is known about him.
- We must regroup with Kyle at a place called The Hyperion (4784 N Ashland)
- The next day each member of the party went off separately to handle their own business in Sharn. This is what they did:
Ein
- Ein was greeted by Colle D'Cannith. He needed to go meet with his contact Sorin D'Cannith Jr. He gave Ze The Key so he wouldn't have to take it when speaking with members of House Cannith. He learns some things:
- he must retrieve a schema fragment located in the Cogs.
- Sorin is also looking for someone called Bianca.
- Arena (spelling?) was engaged to Dane D'Cannith, but does not know he has died.
- Daask has recently made the large purchase of an orphanage.
- As Ein left the meeting location a raven watched him in an unsettling way.
Ta'rok
- Tarok left his home in Sharn. Note the word carved into his ceiling, "Sprigthorn. He wanted to meet with Vera. He would start by asking Tanith at Rex's Bar. The barmaid Taliah, an aasimar, dating Tanith, shares news and info. Vera is at Glimmer & the Frog, a wedding dress shop. Ta'rok headed over there.
- Ta'rok and Vera, a motherly figure to him, spoke of things including the following:
- Kuba was attacked by an strange swarm of black. He has puncture wounds and is unconscious, but seemingly stable for the moment.
- The "golden snitch" device that flew out of that one warforged is actually a feature of last few hundred warforged that were produced. It records the 1st 10 seconds of the warforged's life and flies to a predetermined location.
Zezeran
- Ze left Ein's home heading to Ollandra's Kitchen District to surprise his sister Cirin and get some breakfast at her bakery, The Sweet Spot. Outside The Sweet Spot Ze spotted a masked "ninja" looking woman spying on the bakery from a nearby tree. When the woman spotted Ze she ran through the tree all ninja like. Ze was not ninja enough to keep up. Something familiar about her...
- In the bakery Ze met with his sister and caught up with news and life. She gave him some dumplings (12) to share with the party which will be very tasty.
- Gont Ashe is the Daask thug who comes by the the shop to collect a protection fee.
- Ze will send a letter to his buddy Hijal to come by and watch over the bakery for this mysterious masked woman.
