Session XXXVII: The Ennoris Dart Tournament

General Summary

After having been deposited on the borders of the Mirewood Swamps, the party made their way back to the Bending Reeds Tribe village of Ennoris to see if they could find someone who had seen the witch or witches and could provide them with more accurate directions.

Wiinken spent some time wandering around the village, and was able to make contact with her Uncle Ignatius Fizzlefern, who told her that if she could be in Ennoris in three days, he would be able to meet her there. In her explorations, Wiinken came across a young Firbolg child playing alone in the forest. Upon further investigation, Wiinken realized that the child was playing with a Dryad, who disappeared back into her tree the moment she caught sight of Wiinken. With some persuasion and name-dropping, Wiinken and the child were able to convince the Dryad, named Delilah, to reemerge. The child ran off to play darts with Retired Captain Calico Jack and the other Bending Reeds children, leaving Wiinken and Delilah alone.

Wiinken confided in Delilah her suspicions that there has to be a traitor working within Prehn and gave her the names of the first people she and Calico met upon their arrival in Prehn: Arenza, Gruzdan, and Whelani. This information seemed greatly disturbing to Delilah, who vowed to look into the aforementioned individuals and root out the traitor in their midst. Wiinken asked if Delilah would be willing to teach her the art of treesinging, and Delilah put her to the test, yanking her into the root system of a nearby tree and testing Wiinken's constitution and her mental resiliency. Thankfully, Wiinken wasn't shattered by the experience, and Delilah concluded that the Pulse may indeed be awoken within Wiinken, given enough time and effort. In order to coordinate their efforts, Delilah gave Wiinken a green acorn and instructed her to place it in the gnoll of an oak tree and whisper her name should she wish to speak with Delilah in the future.

Meanwhile, Zenora circled the perimeter of the village, leaving Druidic messages hidden in the trees seeking assistance in finding the witches, while Horxim sought out anyone who might be able to help him find his parents.

The One Who Sustains (Bakes) led Horxim to The One Who Remembers, an incredibly elderly female Firbolg who is apparently the oral lorekeeper of the Bending Reeds Tribe. Unfortunately, she hadn't encountered Rakeek or Khur, but directed Horxim to The One Who Heals, whom he correctly remembered adopts the name of Maevar when working with the other Tribes, as she travels throughout Prehn and would be much more likely to have run into Horxim's parents.

The One Who Remembers asked Horxim if he would like a glimpse into his future and asked him to draw a card; he drew The Lovers. The One Who Remembers explained to him that The Lovers do represent important romantic relationships, and that she foresaw a romantic reunion in Horxim's future, but also warned him that oftentimes The Lovers signify an important choice: whether to grow with the one we love, or to grow apart.

When Horxim returned with Calico Jack in search of an authority figure in the village, he was persuaded to draw a card as well and drew The High Priestess. Calico mentioned that he's been struggling to find a purpose in his journey, and The One Who Remembers suggested that The High Priestess may hold the answers he seeks.
