🎲 DM You had a week to shop there. Update log sheets!

Pirate.gif Brilla: Brilla upgraded her chainshirt from +1 to +2 and put 5,000GP to help give some grants to entice people to do research into the +5 vorpal scimitar she foun and how to revert it to its previous form.

Arriving on Solipsism

Pirate.gif Brilla: It appears that Solipsism has not done well in the wake of our last visit. It appears as if some force has come in and taken to a healthy bit of lumbering. What is amazing is that this is even noticeable with the strength of the Wilding to rebuild these trees quickly.

Fire Giants

Pirate.gif Brilla: After some travel into the island we saw a huge nightmare in the distance. We believed this to be Uriah's old mount and decided to stay clear.

We ventured a little further in to reach the keep when we were ambushed by flaming rocks. They were capable of heavy damage, as I can attest, and we quickly scrambled for cover. Multiple fire giants were responsible for throwing the boulders and their leader was riding the nightmare we earlier encountered. It was at this point we decided to run.

Jayde was able to slow them down with a spell of entanglement while Bo somehow convinced the nightmare to go back to its home plane. Bo's escape to the ethereal plane kept him safe as the rest of us dashed to the temple.


Traveling by Dreams

Pirate.gif Brilla: The keeps rose bush has gotten very large while Bo was away. It also seems to have gotten a taste for blood as Click Tick kept getting pricked by it. The plant wasn't all bad, though, as after some quick gardening and care it let us through into the keep.

The keep looks long abandoned and untouched; a good sign with the thumping of the giants not far from us. TicTok seemed pretty interested in the mimic. Once finding out we left it behind, he soon began pestering Fuelwen on the weakness he must have not to best a chest. Needless to say, Jayde and I left them behind to thump their chest or whatever else guys do to prove how strong they are.

Soon in the dream plane I found out what this was. Evidently they glued themselves to the beast, though on the bright side the mimic was defeated. I felt a little bad for it and really wanted it as a pet/protector on the ship. Unfortunately, I was unable to bend it to my will. We left it here for now with some food. I'm going to try to get it again on a return trip. I need to keep the boys out of the booze somehow.

The Giant Island

Pirate.gif Brilla: Upon our jump onto the super island we encountered a VERY large scorpion. I was able to convince it that we weren't threatening enough to use its stinger, but even then was a ferocious beast. It easily clawed through our defenses and was only with a little luck that we were able to best the creature.

Once defeated and the wounded we tended to, we made our way further into the island.

Home Base

Pirate.gif Brilla: While going through the island we noticed the fact that there are a lot of pure bred creatures around. This included to be the case of a local village. The native humans, elves, and halflings all appeared to be pure blooded.

Seeing as how they might not be used to beings with monsterous appearance, I decided to study their culture for a bit and give myself the bearing of one with power in their society. It worked pretty well and I was sent to see their elder. The condition was that I abandon all possessions and done their clothing, which I do.

Things go well and I eventually invite the others forward. Most of the village is taken aback, but there are no hostilities.

A few questions are asked before I am suggested that I speak with the grand elder; an elf of great age. Perhaps now we can finally get some answers.
