==Summary==

=== Episode 61: End of the World ===

==== The Party ====
([[Anna Prosser Robinson|Anna]]) [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] - Human Paladin of Lathander

([[Commander Holly|Holly]]) [[Strix]] - Tiefling Sorcerer

([[ProJared]]) [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] - Human Rogue

([[Nathan Sharp|Nathan]]) [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] - Human Bard

([[Dani Hartel]]) [[Xandala|Captain Xandala]] - Elf Sorcerer

==== Summoning Shemeshka ====
At the start, the group is on an airship. [[Strix]] is gone. She had vanished (summoned by [[Omin Dran]]) but the group has no idea what happened. 

The airship is lifting off. The crew is dead. They were agents of the red dragon, [[Klauth]]. The waffle crew is trying to run the ship on their own under the tutelage of Captain [[Xandala]].

[[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] wants to know what happened to [[Strix]], so he draws his sword, [[Gutter]], and summons [[Shemeshka]]. She is wearing a ball gown, crimson and gold. One her head is her "crown", which is a wreath of razorvine and in one hand is a cigarette in a cigarette holder. 

[[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] asks about [[Strix]] and she says that she did a little research. She says that [[Omin Dran]] used an infernal contract to summon [[Strix]].

[[Shemeshka]] speaks on a number of topics, suggesting that the group doesn't need [[Strix]] because [[Xandala]] is a suitable replacement.

She also says, "[[Skizzix|The Skizzixes]] are coming for you." That's [[Strix]]'s family. She also again drops the name "[[Lorcatha]]". 

==== Artus and the Ring ====
[[Xandala]] wants the [[ring of winter]] from [[Artus Cimber|Artus]]. [[Artus Cimber|Artus]] says she isn't who she says she is. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] wants the ring, too.

[[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] makes a high persuasion roll. [[Artus Cimber|Artus]] decides that he will travel with them and decide whether or not [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] is worthy to wear the ring.

The group knows that [[Strix]] is in Chult and they want to get there as quickly as possible. [[Xandala]] is worried that [[Klauth]] will find them. She grabs the ''sending stone'' that her former crew used to communicate with [[Klauth]] and throws it over the side.

[[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] realizes that her mouse, [[Juniper]], is freezing. Since [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] is a construct, she has no way of warming up [[Juniper]]. She hands [[Juniper]] to [[Xandala]] and suddenly, [[Summerwise]] the pseudodragon eats [[Juniper]]. [[Xandala]] rolls a 20 to persuade [[Summerwise]] to spit the mouse out. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] resuscitates [[Juniper]] with a lay on hands. 

The group notices that [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] is sick. He says he has motion sickness/allergies.

[[Xandala]] quietly observes that [[Artus Cimber|Artus]] is not wearing the [[ring of winter]]. She points it out to everyone.

Over the course of a few days, [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] loses some  max hp and gets sicker and sicker. He's got the [[death curse]]. [[Artus Cimber|Artus]] says that [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] will be dead by the time they get to Chult.

==== The Return of Strix ====
[[Strix]] appears on the deck of the ship. She declares that she won the dinosaur race. She says [[Omin Dran|Omin]] is nice and that [[Jim Darkmagic|Jim]] is an asshole.

[[Strix]] tells the group about [[Acererak]] and [[the Soulmonger]]. [[Xandala]] wants to find a quicker way to Chult.

After much debate, [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] summons [[Shemeshka]] again. 

[[Shemeshka]] has a vial and a scroll for them. They can use this stuff to summon [[the Sewn Sisters]]. The affected heroes will need to suffer through three things in order for the sisters to stave off the death curse.

They ask [[Shemeshka]], "Where can we find [[the Soulmonger]]?" It's hidden under the city of Omu. [[Strix]] points out that she was just in Omu, so she knows where it is.

[[Shemeshka]] agrees to teleport the group to Chult if [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] does something for her. She casts a ''geas'' spell on [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]]. This spell forces a quest on [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]]. If he strays from it, he will suffer incredible pain. She wants [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] to find a person named "[[Mr. Fox]]". She wants his spectacles and the spellbook that he took from her library, ''X the Mystic's Arcane Grimoire''.

They have to pick people. They exclude [[Sir Godfrey|Godfrey]] and [[Xandala]]. 

[[Xandala]] suddenly turns and casts ''dominate person'' on [[Artus Cimber|Artus]]. [[Xandala]] gives a speech about how the Harpers are ineffective and that she's going to take care of things herself. She has "plans for this world."

[[Strix]] tries to stop her. Roll initiative! Here comes [[Klauth]] the red dragon. End of session.{{Episode nav|state=expanded}}
