Session 17- Milk and Honey with a Dash of Sour Report
General Summary
We begin with Initative in the Small forest Village of Willowdale. You are trying to figure out if the original party, Craff, Hummphrey and Jackie are dopplegangers or not. You find out which ones are which after a bit of fighting and avoiding animalistic body parts. One Doppleganger was more vocal than the others. They threatened violence but was not really in the position to do so tied up. One of the Dopplegangers was dragged away in the rope by Potentia with your help for further interogation or investigation. You were appluded, even though tired, by the leader of the village, Ayora who comments that for your excellent service in helping both destroy and detain the defiants, you are rewarded free accomidations for the night. Including whatever tavern drinks you desire. She calls everyone to the tavern for a a little, well deserved evening of fun and reverly. Whilest you were fighting however, Ralia decided to rack up some Piety points and reached the next threshold for piety. This instigated an short term affect of madness. Rolling on the table, Ralia found herself scared of herself for 4 minutes. Mechanically that was a "can you run away from yourself" nightmare but we got through it. Ralia also heard a very chaotic bloodthirsty presence inside her head giggling, not unlike the joker. You head to the tavern and Farriage decides to do a drinking game with her Very enthuasistic Uncle, who loves a good drink. Farriage spends some time dancing on tables with a number of hats stacked on her head. It sounds wonderful. Farriage notices a gambling game going on on the other side of the tavern and a number of people in various states of undress, one in particular seemed to be wearing more clothes than the other. Due to some Rogue like intervention, this one was accused of cheating and luckily the situation was resolved before violence esculated. This person was ejected from the game. Farriage also confronts her mother, known as Lexi, about the latest activities of the Scrondinger Family, to which her mother is very angry with Pantera and Panspectra, the Light and Night goddesses respectively and also reveals a truth which left poor Via's mouth wide open, that she is Panlexi scrondinger and Farraige, if was given a surname, would be Farriage Scrondinger as well. Panlexi expresses a wish to travel with the party to the Temple of Time and have words with the 2 goddesses. She tucks Farraige into bed with a motherly kiss on the forehead and Farraige finds herself in Panspectra's realm of Dreams once again. Panspectra apologizes saying that this is probably going to be a nightly occurance and she will make the visits as enjoyable as possible. She also comments that she can detect when her name is spoken and knows about your plan to make a doorway portal to the Temple of Time. She says she is able to do this if she has enough power and will make a doorway for Farriage when it is possible. Agna and Ralia- Agna finds taverns a little much. They find a sofa seat next to the bar after the barmaid took pity on them. They order a tall glass of milk and honey. Ralia joins her for a short while. The musician who is singing, with the name of Anna Calliope, takes an intrest in the party and decides to make up songs on the spot. With a bit more prodding, from ralia some flirting and the party realising that Anna, doesnt really want to do anything dirty, at least without a friendship connection first. You detect her magical aura, which she does try to keep hidden and realise that she is a celestial. Asking her about it, she admits that she is the Daughter of the Musical Goddess, Symphonia. When asked about her mother's artifact, she comments that her mother is in danger because the weave contained the ability to make magical music and her artifact would probably be found "where the most beautiful music is played". Anna heads back to finish singing. Ralia has a dream about meeting Cog. Cog gives ralia a note and a magical ring. Ralia wakes up and the note is in her pocket. Rowan sends message to acknowledge that he has a note and a ring that is exactly the same. This note mentions cora and calls Cora and Cog "adoptive mother and father", as they are both in charge of the orphanage that Rowan and Ralia were raised in and bought them up as thier own. Agna in thier dreams, found themselves in the fire realm, with nixie and a child that looks a lot like Mozella. Nixie affectionatly says goodbye to Agna and promises that she will always be in the land if Agna needs her. Mozilla seems to think that she will be around to look after Agna though. It was a beautiful moment full of emotion. The next morning you wake up to quite the commotion. Outside you find, with wings outspread, dark night eyes and necrotic energy, Tempest, with a small blue dragon on her back. You notice the the Blue dragon has a symbol on the top of its head. The symbol contains, waves, a 5 sided star and another wave on the top. With some threats from Tempest and the party as a whole and some Npc's standing very close by watching the entire thing, some magic effects happen. Ralia turns a glowing yellow and loses her sense of smell trying to cast spells. We learn about Tempest's backstory. We learn that Tempest's true name is Tauragon Tellwise, A pirate of Miranda and a thief, who started the war of time. Tempest was set on a mission and stole the staff of time, leading to the perishment of Pandora or Cora's family and the Scrondinger Manor. However, Tempest regretted these actions and set up things for Pandora to come and find and return the Staff of Time. Tempest went insane after missing a blue dragon called Aquaveria that she was closely bonded to. Then she met Cora in the orphanage and became "Auntie Tempest". After Tempest went to Rescue Penny and Poppy Laine from the Earth Blighted lands in the bandit forest, she broke the weave. Tempest then took back the name Tauragon Tellwise and went to work for Danica as the Guard for the gate under the crossroads. You annoyed her so much she was a few seconds away from calling for divine intervention but you called for Divine intervention of your own. "Auntie Raven Queen". The raven queen after realising who Tempest is and who she is now connected to, told you to not even worry about making a deal, this is a "personal favour" and gives agna a bone chilling smile. She reaches over to Tempest and picks her up by the neck and disappears with Tempest in her grip. The Blue dragon that tempest had with her, noticed the Sea Princess and through some instinct goes over to her. The second the 2 of them meet, there is a celestial glow. The dragon markings fade from Tempest, with miranda's voice in her head "did you really think you could get away with this?". the markings transfer over to the Sea Princess and the dragon is Now her's. Tempest lost a dragon today. While you were engaged in combat, an anti magic field was raised by tempest. Ayora decided at that point to try and do something. She stepped into the field, not realising what it was and her disguises and clothes were stripped from her, revealing what appears to look like an Elf, even though, strangely, elves are frozen in time. The only thing that stays the same about her, is the Ring. *cough cough cough, i keep mentioning this* We ended the session on the cliffhanger of what has happened to tempest?
