The Day of the Solar Eclipse

All three of the Hags are dead - you are sure of it. The decomposing Fungus around the fountain are all that remans of The Violet Vixen, Belladonna and Ivy are weeds in the murky water.

ROLL perception - order which notice = Your feet fell numb as the fungi decomposes.


The ground beneath your feet is collapsing without sound. A sink hole forms. You hear the cracking of the stone fountain breaking and a loud crash as it hits stoney ground below. Numerous coins glink and clatter - dink dink. 
You fall - ROLL Dexterity.

The sink hole is full of decomposing fungi, ivy and belladonna plants. Black glisten ikcor lines the earthy walls - dripping down and pooling at the bottom. A natural sticky, greasy oil of violet, green and black. The space seems hallow - hallowed out by what? [dark magic - created emptiness and vile spaces/atmosphere.

The water doesn't mix with the oily liquid - it becomes murky pearl white translucent foaming saliva. You hear a sssss - like it is burning where the oil and white water touch.

It causes the creatures to become nasty and untrusting. ROLL = succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 1d6 psychic damage and have disadvantage on the next action and half movement it makes before the end of its next turn (lack of calm - growing anxious).

You struggle to remain calm.

If take a sample of the oil, it will eat through the container. The air is stale and smells like miner's socks and vomit. Roll Constitution 

There is coins and weapons glisten in the sunlight.

The Mirror and the Book

The black oil is poisoning you all - 1d4 per 1 minute

There is only one cave system to follow out - a Goliath and his bear would have to crawl.


The sky dims above. It is not the clouds. Everything becomes darker and darker. The sun seems to have abandoned the sky - fleeing to where? -  all you see in its place is a forsaken symbol of a large empty black circle surrounded by a thin ring of fire - everything feels cold, unsettling still as if dying - somber mood ...
ROLL Wisdom = FAIL doubt of your Party inches into your minds - along with doubt of yourself - that holds for 2 minutes and 10 seconds. [A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets between Earth and the sun, and the moon casts a shadow over Earth. A solar eclipse can only take place at the phase of new moon, when the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth and its shadows fall upon Earth's surface.]
You can see the closer moon shining in a crescent. It is the other moon that shadows the sun.
Auryka the sight of the moons calms you. 

Can either fly up and out
OR
follow the low cave system


IF Search for Town named Chase
one of Baldarim's animals leads the way ...

looks back to check he is following, tilts head questioning if he doesn't. Leads the way to Ghaste. Takes 1 hour and 45 minutes to reach there.


Town folk says "We weren't expecting you."

Blind woman spinning
"They smell like Hag magic - they fought them alright. Yet they survived."
