Chapter 18 What's the Point of the Pin? 09/02/25

by Lucky Lyle Sunnyside

The squirrels were placated and a truce resolved before they were freed, minus their tiny spears which Lucky appropriated. Approaching the door out of the room, Lucky checked in case it was trapped before placing his Pin of Peace into the leaf shaped lock.
 
Heading through the now opened door the party found themselves in a room dominated by a grand piano and 3 doors. Lucky worked out how the piano worked while Colmir solved 3 riddles, each of which opened a different door.
 
Colmir played the notes and the first door opened revealing a chest over brimming with gold and jewels. It was discovered that this was a trap which, once triggered, made the treasure fall into a pit far below. Using his Immovable Rod to keep the trapdoor open Bob, along with much cajoling from the rather greedy Lucky, was lowered down the hole only to discover that the treasure was fake.
 
Playing the piano opened the second door set free 4 wraiths who rushed out to attack. Lucky ran forward to confront them before Solas used his restored powers from Helm to banish 3 of the undead creatures. Shadow forced the last one back into the room with an Eldritch Blast before the door was slammed shut on it.
 
The final door opened onto a corridor and the party proceeded on. The corridor lead into a large room filled with pipes. 4 channels fed into a steel bowl in the middle of the room. Bob decided to pull on a lever which start caused the pipes to start flowing water into the channels and then on into the steel bowl. As the water began to flow 4 large yellow blobs were also released on to the ceiling of the chamber. Battle ensued with the blobs splitting into smaller creatures each time they were hit. Bob was hurt in the battle but finally they were defeated and a passageway was revealed when the water filled the bowl.
 
Down the passage a room was found with a weapons rack holding a magical spear, the Point of Peace. A heated discussion followed as the Point of Peace required Lucky's Peace Pin to fully function. Lucky didn't want to give this up, arguing that he was quite likely to be killed if he didn't have it to ring him back to life. Eventually, he succumbed to promises that both Colmir and Solas could heal him if the worst should happen and the pin and point were joined.
 
Returning to the squirrels den the spear was placed in its place and a gate formed, through which stepped a huge dragon, Boeshoren. The dragon, another obnoxious character, introduced himself and explained that with the point of peace that the party could summon him if they were in dire need. He said that the huge Wyvern, the Harbinger of Fury, also called Ursa was actually his wife and he had banished her in the past. He will come back to defeat her in her lair when the time is right.
 
With this said the dragon returned through the gate. The party decided to rest up and heal Bob
Before returning to their own plane of existence and seeking out Fury. With time working strangely in the Feywild they returned to find the village of Tyrluk in the midst of one huge street fight. A pair of Wyverns were attacking the town whilst everyone beat each other up.
 
From afar another Wyvern flew towards Tyrluk. This one grew larger and larger as it approached, finally revealing it's gargantuan size. It flew overhead towards Bowshot Run. The party rushed to follow only to see the beast breathe fire down on the mushroom glade they'd used to enter Boeshoren's home. The party prepared for a fight as the Wyvern turned in the sky above them.
