Algon the all-seeing is after the gems

Duen: We leave the theater & travel to meet the Weaver who allows these dolls to be reborn. I seek to give a special show of gratitude the marionette when he is reborn, but the last battle has worn us down so we rest in the forest. We leave Cameron as watch, & during the night, Cameron wakes us by sending his falcon to find something that he saw at the edge of his vision. I keep watch in secret with Cameron the rest of the night.

The next day, we come across "Algon, the all seeing". He challenges us for our gems & so we are forced into battle, but in the midst of it, everything turns black for me...

Cameron: We deceided to go to the Manmolds. Companions become tired, so they slept. I do not sleep. Kept watch. There was something at night, sent falcon out to go find it. Woke up companions and found nothing there. Cat-man stays awake with me to watch. Squishy-man sleeps.

Morning comes. There is a man in armor who attacks us. Cat-man dies. Man in armor gets beaten. We take his things and let him go. Now we must get to the Manmolds faster.

Death has a VAT tax (Manmolds)

Duen: ...I awaken in darkness pulling myself to a pinprick of light. When I emerge, I find a insectlike storykin above me & Cameron & Rynn bursting into the room. We fight the insect-creature & her minions, but Cameron is destroyed.

We wait to see if he is reborn as I was & to our happy surprise he is! While we wait I am even happier to find that Ursala has also been reborn! Although all three of us have been reborn as storykin.

We away as soon as we free the newly born storykin who have been locked away & Cameron is ready to go...

Cameron: We have reached Manmolds. Found door in back, went through. Inside there was a maze. Steam came out of walls. Damaged falcon. Upset. We get through maze, and find a room with upset-women-statues in it. Through far door is wax.

There are worm things crawling on a table on far side of room. Large bug screams at us. Wax statues attacks. Cat-man is here. We fight. Systems shut down momentarily. When returned, found myself different looking.

Swamped with undead (Demon's Fen)

Duen: We again walk through the woods. This time we attempt to find the Demon's Fen. We are on our way when we hear a mournful song that ends in tears. We go to find the source & find a weeping serpent-bird-woman who calls herself "Mourning Choir" who stands next to the bridge into the swamp. We ask her what is causing her to weep so, & she replies that she is lonely so we stay the night & speak with her. She tells us she is a conspirator that has given her gem to the new master of the fen.

In the morning, she gives us a boon for staying with her and staving off her loneliness. She casts invisibility on us & gives us a stone of silence that will work for 5 minutes. She also tells us that she will heal us if we run into trouble. So we make our way across the bridge & we see an undead man & 2 candles on a sarcophagus. In Rynn's infinite wisdom, he goes & blows out the candles which apparently causes the corpses buried everywhere to grab at us. As the necromancer spies me he attacks while Rynn tries to re-light the candles. Cameron & Ursala come to my aid & we are able to slowly subdue the fell creature & I feel stronger for it...

Cameron: After killing wax-things, we go to the lake. Find a flying-snake-lady there. She is sad. Keep her company. I gave her my falcon. Now it will always have fish to eat. She gives us spells to help fight.

We go toward island in middle of lake. Man sitting by graves with candles. We move around him invisible. Candles get blown out. Hands come out of the ground to attack us. We get free. Broke his sword, as it was doing too much damage to Cat-man. Made Man-with-broken-sword upset. Killed him too.
