Chronicles of the Realm Walkers: Session 43

Rhy and Lee were in the shop with "Shade" whe they turned to see a tall lanky sixed armed jester like figure. The figure accused them of selling them, not honouring their gift, and training. The figure offered them more gift if they played a game. After a prologuend discussion where the "Jester" perceived themselves as a victim and and was upset that "they" had been sold, the party agreed to play a game with him for various rewards. The shop began to shake and the floor began to crack open and the shop fell away revealing and endless red expanse. The party had climbed up onto counters, tables, and bookshelves. "Shade" disappeared into a plume of shadow that swallowed him. RHy grabbed both tombs.   What proceeded was a challenge of dextrity across the shops bookshelves and floating stones to traverse a masive red exspnase and reach the exit. The party was "cheating" by flying or teleporting without using the acrobatics skills the jest had taught them. Rhy investigated the content of "Shade's" back room. And found a totem associated with the Shadowfell. the challenge became more dificult and the Jester attacked the party members he seemed to perciev as cheating. Theren fell unconcious and into the expanse, and while lee and Rhy made it to the final platform, they did not proceed through the portal and continued to attack the jester. during this lee also fell unconsious and off the platform into the exspanse. eventually the jester force Rhy through the portal and Ranrus succesfully cleared the challenge. ranrus debated witht the jester over the nature of the conflict and cheating but in the end the jest simply told him if he wanted to svae his friend he would need to leave.   Date: 17th of Sithala, 1437 DC
