Bleberry Needs a Sheriff - June 23, 2017

- Cosplay
- Star Trek Discovery on CBS

- No Movers and Dragons tonight
- Tanalia goes upstairs and sleeps in a room probably intended for children as it has two small beds. Thessalie sleeps in the other little bed while Sharai Trances in a chair in that room as well. Felosyal climbs onto the roof to spend a few hours keeping watch.
- During her Trance Felosyal notices movement over there in the city. They are humanoid looking with long arms that nearly drag the ground and seems to be corporeal. They are waddle-running towards the house in which the girls are holed-up.
- F climbs down the wall, knocks on the window and gives some Army hand signals to S to tell her there are 5 enemies incoming from that direction.
- There is a crash from downstairs. It is followed by a screeching sound. Not good.
- S, T, & Tanalia barricade the door with the dresser in front of the door.
- S throws something heavy through the window then uses her staff to clean out the biggest blade of glass. T is tying off a rope so the trio can repel down the side of the house.

SKILLZ CHALLENGE
Goal: Get out of the house and its immediate environs to an at least somewhat defensible position in which to cast Leomund's Tiny Hut so they can then cast the Teleportation circle to get Tanalia out of harm's way. Then they will worry about the attackers.

- Sharai with the help of Thessalie and Tanalia barricades the door with the heavy dresser (Strength 18 - Success)
- Thessalie ties off the rope, drops the packs out of the window, and repels down as quickly as she can (Acrobatics 16 - Success)
- Felosyal pauses as she climbs down the house to listen and watch the situation. (Perception 15 - Failure) The things look like bird people with beaks on their faces and long curving talons coming out of what would be an elbow on a human and are cawing to each other. She, however, has no idea where her friends are.
- S casts Web over the dresser while Tanalia climbs down the rope. (Arcana 24 - Success)
- Tanalia gets to the bottom of the rope and starts to take off running because she's so freaked out. Thess has to grab her as quickly as she can convince her to calm down and stay with her and S for her own protection (Persuasion 17 - Success)
- F is on a lower part and sees Tanalia's run for freedom and sees her get stopped by Thess. She starts yelling at the things to distract them from her friends, and one of the creatures leaps onto the roof with her and takes a swipe at her with its giant talon. (Survival 15 - Failure)
- S pulls her bow out to try and shoot the thing, but misses (Dexterity 11 - Failure)

The Story of a Girl - June 16, 2017

- Not cancer!
- Canuck the Crow

- Sharai casts Rary's Telepathic Bond, and Felosyal takes off with her cloak to scout
- Progress is made, but it is slow going.
- It's been nearly a week, and the sun still hasn't pierced the necromantic energy
- After three days of traveling in this manner, they arrive in the town of Bleberry, which is about a day's travel from Arrandale. It is deserted.
- Sharai suggests that they find the nicest house in town and sleep there. F says that sounds good. Thessalie just wants to go inside where it's less weird for it to be dark.
- They find a nice house and go inside. It looks like the owners left quickly, but there's no sign of looting.
- T casts Detect Magic as a ritual and sense nothing in the house
- S goes to check out the kitchen and finds lots of cookware, a large fireplace, stairs down to what is probably a root cellar. There's a bunch of grapes on the counter that are very shriveled and a bit moldy. Using this clue she believes this house was abandoned between 1 and 2 weeks ago. Lellzutho was destroyed about three and half weeks ago so this may not be directly related.  Down in the larder, S uses Prestidigitation to casts a bit of light because it's so dark, and she sees something move out of the corner of her eye.
- Felosyal wanders up to the second floor and starts going through the bedrooms finding jewelry and a safe. She easily pops the safe and finds some neat rolls of coins.
- S finds a young elven girl with golden brown hair hiding and trying her hardest to be invisible. S greets her, and she responds timidly "Don't hurt me."
- T greets her with "Happiness finds a way."
- Her name is Tanalia. She got lost in the exodus. She's confused, dirty, and has minor scrapes and bruises.
- T takes her upstairs and bathes her small injuries and helps her wash her hair.
- S makes dinner in the meantime.
- Over dinner, T continues to make polite chitchat with Tanalia. Tanlia lived in Bleberry with her mom, Seldanna, but she doesn't know any of her other family members or her family name.
- S suggests that they scry for Seldanna, and if they can't see her they send Tanalia to her parents at least for the time being.
- After they tidy up from dinner, they head to Tanalia's house to get something of her mother's for the scrying spell.
- Her house is a small place near the edge of town. It is at that point that S realizes that they do not have an appropriate focus for a scrying spell.
- They pack Tanalia's things and Seldanna's as well. While T helps the girl pack, S writes a detailed letter to Tholnor explaining Tanalia's situation, but she Sends to him, "Found a girl during quest to save the world who needs refuge and care. When to send through teleportation circle at Monalotsoa?"
- She hears in return, "I will help the child as best I am able. Please send her at noon tomorrow. Also please update your parents via Sending. They grow tiresome."
- T asks how they're going to know when noon is since they can't see the sky.
- Tholnor Sends to S, "Just realized you're not here. Sorry. Please send the girl in approximately 16 hours. I must be getting old."
- Sharai returns, "Included with inbound traveler: items to help you scry her mother, one letter for you with details of my journey, one letter for my mother."

- 3,000 XP ea. for 106,030 XP total ea.
