23.08.2020 - Thunder - Battle in Green Eagle keep

Mats er ikke her i dag :/

• We can hear someone giving a speech in the distance
• Speech up the stairs by the statue
• Can hear the crone and Rockwater not too far from here
• Thunder peeks around and sees them
• Also hears people cooking in the other room
• Thunder shoots Rockwater, and the crone makes them invisible
• T instructs the others to cut them off in the courtyard (Coty comes with her)
• T and C gets slowed down by reassuring a small servant boy that we're supposed to be here
• He asks if we're guests of the Marquis
• C asks for an apple, he goes to get it for her
• The feast will start later today
• The room we're in has a large statue, armoured and emblazoned with green eagle symbolism
• Into the courtyard
• We're high up, in a keep (decorated like a mansion?)
• S slams into the door, making lots of sound, but it doesn't open
• C gets distracted by a fancy door, and goes to check that out instead
• Discovers the feast hall
• Maids in Green Eagle uniforms
• Not that interesting, so she turns back
• S starts the rush into the room
• Hears steps on the carpet
• T notices a petrified skeleton, moving slightly, she warns the others
• Someone casts Cone of Cold, knocking Arnini out, and hurting everyone except Coty (T would be down if not for temp hp)
• S makes books atk her, while C is the actual healer with Mass Healing Word
• The skeleton comes over and atks T
• S  gets the final blow on the crone, striking her down with books
• T notices invis Rockwater stabilizing the crone
• Shoots her thigh (The arrow is visible, so we can see her position)
• Arnini accidentally set fire to a bookcase
• S has his books KO Rockwater
• As she goes down, her Mage Hand opens a door
• A richly clad woman with a staff is revealed "What is the meaning of this. Can you keep quiet, I'm trying to focus(?) on this"
• She casts Feeblemind on S (so he can't stop the books from murdering Rockwater)
• T shoots her
• The woman looks at her "Good shot. Pity you have to die" she raises a finger at T: "Die" (Gjør 3 skade mindre enn insta kill, hadde da blitt zombie) Finger of death
• Coty casts 4th lvl Cure Wounds to get T up
• Arnini is fighting the skeleton alone in the stairs, when one of his devices explodes, and Manath appears
• He was in a cloudy dimension, felt like it lasted an eternity
• He kills the skeleton in like 2 sek after he appears
• Feebleminded S desperately tries to hide in the fountain
• The woman casts Banishment on Manath (He was only here for 6 sek, rip)
• One of T's arrows makes her lose concentration on banishment
• Arnini get off another Toll the Dead
• she starts levitating. "No, not yet"
• Her voice changes to a male (?), otherworldly voice: "Welcome home". laughing maniacally
• M throws one of the skeletons hands at her, then his trident
• She gathers her concentration enough to cast Flamestrike
• But because of temp hitpoints, no one takes actual dmg
• T peeks around the corner, shooting her in the eye, killing her
• A whisper enters our minds as she dies: "Hide. Run"
• Hears a loud laughter in the distance, it keeps on going
• T rifles though the woman's belongings
• Nothing linking her to Hugo-Sha
• Suddenly the crone rises sharply, eyes shining. Starts speaking to T in Clouds voice. Asks for help
•  Mother blossom

Defender of all our souls

Just look upon her bowls

He awaits her pillars

• T asks M to carry the crone with him (She thinks it might be Erivale's mother)
• T looks into the room the woman was in
• Takes some letters
• Sees a newly painted portrait of a Green Eagle General(?)
•  Half-elf(?) silver hair, standing behind(?) a younger version of Manath (only Manath recognizes this)
• T notices that M is absentmindedly staring at it, and has to prompt him to follow us out of there
• S is scared of us, atks Coty when she approaches
• M is the only one he trusts
• M takes the hammer with him
• T notices that she can't smell the sea, and that the climate is dryer
• We debate whether to try to climb the walls, or lie our way through
• A guard notices us, C and T lie about needing to go to town for some specific medicine
• We're let through the gate
• We walk down a winging road until we get to a second gatehouse
• manages to lie our way through. They suspect S, but T convinces them he's off in the head
• The keep was about 200ft. up in the mountains
• Another, bigger gatehouse. But we're let through easily
• it opens up into a village with a river
• T goes into tourist mode, to get info about where we are
• Inn called Eagles Nest
• Village called Upon the Cliff
• We decide to head into the nearby forest to camp in a place more hidden
• S runs after animals, throwing his shield to kill a deer
• A knows what spell is affecting S
• M tries to use the spiral disk to fix S
• The enchantment is too strong
• We go deeper into the forest, to find a hidden, secure place to camp
• Find a small grove, with a small stream and a rock formation with a small waterfall. Flanked by a large fallen oak
• Coty walks off to look for a better place, without telling any of us
• The rest start setting up camp here
• Once done, T goes to sit by herself and ponder about what Cloud told her
• Can't remember any Tabaxi tales about it etc.
• Coty insists that we move, C and A flip a coin, so A spends 2 hours gathering his traps again
• Coty takes first watch

Plan: Ask the crone who she is, or was before she became a slave. Figure out where we are, and how to get to Hogo-Sha
