=== Episode 89 - Double, Double, Toil and Trouble === ==== 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 ([[Chris Perkins|Chris]]) [[Umpox]] - Imp [[Anna Prosser Robinson|Anna]] starts off this session as the DM. ==== Evil Evelyn ==== [[File:90evelath.jpg|thumb|link=//carniccity.tumblr.com|carniccity.tumblr.com]] [[Strix]] rolls a death save. She gets an 11. [[Umpox]] is invisible, flying near [[Evil Paultin]]. Someone claps and steps out of the shadows. She's made of wood and metal, colored black and gold. She looks the group up and down. She touches [[Evil Diath]]'s face and goes, "Aren't you just a tall drink of something strong?" She likes their style. She asks them if they're going to finish the waitress off. [[Evil Diath]] stabs Martha to death. She tells the group that they can be her followers. [[Evil Evelyn]] wants to be the leader. A fight breaks out. [[Evil Paultin]]'s name might be Nit Luap, says [[Nathan Sharp|Nate]]. [[Umpox]] disengages, flies 80 feet into the air. [[Evil Diath]] throws some daggers at him, and he dies. He was holding an eye (a hag eye), which gets squashed. [[Evil Evelyn]] tells [[Evil Paultin]] to swear fealty to [[Shar]]. He does, obviously lying. So does [[Evil Paultin]]. [[Evil Evelyn]] heals [[Evil Strix]]. She says, "Let's douse the flame of hope and rule with an iron fist." The awful crew has been assembled. ==== The Sewn Sisters ==== [[Chris Perkins|Chris]] takes over in the DM seat. The group had made a deal with the hags. The heroes will give them hair (so that they can make more clones). In exchange, the hags will give them: * [[Mr Fox|Mr. Fox]]'s spectacles. * A ''resurrection'' scroll to bring back Evelyn. * ''X the Mystic's Arcane Grimoire'', a tome that was allegedly stolen from [[Shemeshka]]. The hags are about to speak, when something appears in the cauldron. It's the evil little girl that the awful crew put in the bag last session. <ref>[[Episode 88]]</ref> The hags want to eat her. The group stops them. The hags put the little girl to sleep and place her in a cage. There's discussion of further trades. The adventurers are quietly talking amongst themselves. The hags overhear the group mention [[Shemeshka]]. Later, they hear [[Strix]] mention [[Gutter]]. The hags are very interested. Two of the hags leave to obtain the items. This will take 1 day. The group will have to wait here. The hags split up their tasks: * '''Peggy''': Goes to get the spectacles and the book. * '''Baggy Nana''': Goes to fetch the scroll. * '''Widow Groat''': Stays with the group to keep an eye on them. Groat asks [[Strix]] asks what her coven is called. [[Strix]] blurts out that it is the chicken foot coven from [[the Feywild]]. Groat says, "We are [[the Sewn Sisters]]." She pulls out some red thread. "Snip snip." "Stitch stitch." Something else appears in the cauldron. It's the remains of Shmon Shmeena. Widow Groat says to the group, "You've stepped into an arcanaloth rivalry. [[Mr Fox|Mr. Fox]] vs. [[Shemeshka]]. All arcanaloths want is magic and knowledge." She tells them about the plane of Gehenna. Then she tells them about the Books of Keeping, tomes that contain the truename of every yugoloth in existence. The group quietly discusses and idea. They want to find the book that has [[Shemeshka]]'s truename in it. With it, they can have power over her. ==== Another Bargain ==== [[Strix]] asks Groat if she knows any truenames. The hag offers some for another trade. What can the group offer? They go through their equipment. Some of their ideas: * [[Lightfall]]'s parts. * Strix's arm. * [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]]'s 4 candles. Groat comes up with an idea. She wants [[Strix]] to carry a child for her. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] hates this idea, but [[Strix]] seems open to it. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] begs [[Strix]] not to do it. [[Strix]] asks Groat if she could stop [[Shemeshka]]. Groat says that she could. Widow Groat shares a secret. Widow Groat whispers to [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] that when [[Shemeshka]] mediated the deal between the [[Skizzix|Skizziks]] and the [[Lorcatha|Lorcathas]], [[Shemeshka]] kept a piece of his valuable, ancient soul. It's locked in a box in her house. "Would you like me to bring you the box?", she asks."The Box for your womb." [[Strix]] thinks about it for a moment and says yes. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] is very alarmed. Widow Groat gives them time to discuss it. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] walks over and watches Groat chop up the corpse of John Cena. Suddenly, the hag reels. When [[Umpox]] was slain, the hag eye was destroyed. It is linked to her, and thus she is temporarily blinded. ==== Evelyn's Dad ==== [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]]'s soul is in the domain of [[Lathander]]. She asks around, hoping that [[Murderbot|Simon]]'s soul is here. His soul must have went somewhere else. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] says all she ever wanted was to be wanted. She thinks [[Murderbot|Simon]] felt the same way, so she's hoping to give [[Murderbot|Simon]] that same feeling. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] realizes that she can talk to her dad, who passed a way long ago. Evelyn flies to a glittering temple on top of a hill. In the temple are people cradling spectral babies. Watching over the scene is a 12 foot tall green angel. A planetar. The babies transform into young adults. One of them is [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]]'s dad. She hugs him. She learns that her mother is in one of the great temples of [[Lathander|the Morninglord]]. Her father tells her, "It doesn't look like you may be here very long. You're just here for a short visit." She flies around with her dad. She asked him why he never came back. She never knew what happened. He explains that he went into [[Undermountain]], the giant dungeon underneath [[Waterdeep]].There's a family that has fallen into the dark service of [[Shar]]. They infiltrated cities. While in [[Undermountain]] trying to bring light to the darkness, [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]]'s father was killed by a vampire named [[Karesta Delvingstone]]. It sounds like his body is still down there. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]]'s dad wants to go tobogganing (sledding). [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] is up for it. ==== The Deal ==== Back in the Material Plane, Groat's eyesight is returning. The group notices a strange, giant door. After 1 full day, Baggy returns. She walks through the wall and is holding a blackened scroll tube. "One resurrection scroll", she says. While the group is in the waffle hut, they overhear the two hags having an argument about the destruction of the soul bag. They are angry at the awful crew. The group overhears the hags scheming. They get the sense that all three hags are plotting against one another. The third hag returns. Widow Groat starts talking about [[Strix]] carrying a baby again. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] takes [[Strix]]'s hand and tells her not to do this. He says they'll make it through this, like they always do. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]], [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]], and [[Strix]] hand over their hair. In return, the hags give the group the items. Each hero takes one: * '''Diath''': Spectacles. * '''Paultin''': Resurrection scroll. It is very warm. It was stolen from a cleric in the bowels of the Nine Hells. * '''Strix''': ''X the Mystic's Arcane Grimoire''. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] slyly starts talking to [[the Sewn Sisters]], pointing out that the hags have been talking about ousting each other. They start fighting. Taking advantage of the chaos, [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] frees the caged little girl and looks for a secret door. Strength check to open it. Paultin rolls 17. He makes it. They appear in the outskirts of [[Port Nyanzaru]], emerging from a ruined ziggurat in the old city section. [[Strix]] wants to use the [[Halruaan Force Bomb]] to collapse the tunnel and block the exit. She realizes that the blast radius is too big, and backs off on the idea. The little girl that they freed thinks the group is the awful crew. She steals the spectacles from [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] and runs into the city. End of session. {{Episode nav|state=expanded}} [[Category:Episodes]]
