Waking up after being drunk

desert

pirate ship

marina is a statue, frozen with an expression of love

backing away only to meet the Raven Queen's eyes

black purple sludge comes from the Raven Queen's mouth.

Courage runs away- she is a coward.

The sludge is following her

Runs back towards Marina

Marina is reaching out to Courage- Courage is terrified

80ft drop from the ship to the ground - 1d6 per 10ft fallen so..

Goes to leap off the ship- aptly called a "leap of cowardice" by our DM

The ground opens up into a crack as Courage falls and falls.

Back to Silas and Raven. (Raven- Rian's new character.)

Raven is a rogue, nonbinary, they/them, dark hair:

Silas and Raven trying to find Aleris who has run off in mourning. whoop

Both see a rift opening that looks like a sea of stars- probably Katarine trying to get them back.

Debating if they should go through.

Silas' awkward talking makes Raven suspicious and they make a note to look into Katarine's background.

Drusten says he'd be willing to die a second time for Silas. -oddly romantic actually and tragic.

Silas still doesn't trust Raven.- for SOME reason which I- Courage's player who missed a session- do not know.

Heading up to Courage's room

Courage wakes up with a horrible headache that might be from the ground or might be from the alcohol.

Bright blue light apparently knocked me out and Aleris really disappeared into thin air.

Loredump as Courage is not aware of anything.

Introduction to Raven and Courage instantly "no's" out.

Raven has children so they are us to temper tantrums

Raven relays farming problems with coyotes and weirdness.

Silas explains it takes time to build trust

Heading towards a portal in a forest- Courage is great at walking

Peaceful fingernail size fish

Courage sure is wandering- not the right way

Actually heading the right way to the portal

quick recap: Last time we talked she said she'd call us back when we were needed and sent us to be on our way

Raven tries to pick up some water for their wife. -Fails a con save as the water burns them.

The water around us in the astral boardwalk begins to glow with blue flashes of light.

Furious shouting in the astral plane

Drusten is technically undead so MIGHT be a threat to Katarine

Katarine is undead racist.

Raven sneaks behind and disarms Katarine of her god-blade thing

Treats this demi-god as one of their kids

Silas looks one step away from getting a migraine

Silas putting the kettle on

Opps, Drusten and Raven don't really know we signed up to make Katarine a god

Tea

Raven stealing

We already killed the people she wants us to kill. -Are we nothing more than mercenaries?

Head to Dargenstand and try and get information from the cult directly.

This is just information gathering and not directly stopping the cult- we kinda want them to start their ritual.

Contacts name is: Zacharias Dariel

We get a Sending Stone

me: ah yes, the calm before the storm.

- Town we are in is having festival in honor of a Goddess. We head out, not before getting asked to murder someone who burns death god statue. Naturally, we say “no”

- Go to the festival and give names to Guards. Imogen tells name is Kelly

- Aurora goes get some blue rock candy that tastes good and shares some with Courage

- Then goes and wins Arm Wrestling Competition, breaks Half-Orc’s hand and gets medallion. 

- Courage talks to guy supposed to kill about death and the like

- Aleris goes and burns stables to free some horeses

- Imogen, sorry Kelly.... gets pigs fat and replaces some gel w/ it so that guy supposed to murder shall go up in flames when he does his thing

- Surprisingly, it works.

- Meanwhile, Silas is over singing and dancing in #PartyCamp

“I have armour, you just have your weak noodle arms bard boy”

“I am a devil in disguise. You cannot stop me”

“Sir

I am starving

The only thing that will satiate this unyielding hunger

Is pork fat”

Abyssal is Scottish Gaelic

Druidic is French

Well Courage needs to get a medical check up but refuses to take her armour off. -Yeah it's going to need to be by her friends, she might be internally waterboarded

Convincing a weird god Si made a deal with to portal them to Courage

Silas is being kind and nice

Aleris arguing against the portal being near water

Dragging Aleris away and through the boat to the portal to get Courage.

Kitty Aleris gripping onto Silas' head

Can they row a boat?

Dristen's just failing to exist. I love Silas' bf.

Bringing Shop and Courage back

Courage meeting Catrain.

Our mission: To go to the Deadlands and investigate someone settled there, suspected cult member.

Alsus is the figurehead of the snake cult -purpose is to turn Alsus into a god. Silas was meant to be a sacrifice to make this happen.

Asha is his second/possible-lover: Non-magic to the point of creating a dead-zone of magic.

Esia is a funding-source of the cult, not sure where she gets it from. -Not sure if she's even magic -not sure where she is

??? -Third member of those close to Alsus, likely a very strong wizard -Person residing in The Siintae Deadlands.

Siintae Deadlands are full of wild magic and such.

Walking through the Etherial Plane

Being immune to demigod that was meant to frighten us

Blink-dogs and Link learning to Blink.

Seeing giant shiny moths.

Arrive in Araxi in the evening

Heading to the tavern to find a place to sleep

Silas just wants to perform and drink in the tavern

Aleris wants to sing

Renting a big room for all of us

Weird bar rule:

"Don't ask about the squid head."

"Please clean rooms after use, we don't want to deal with your bodily fluids."

Silas and Aleris performing.

Aleris got a 18 with a minus 1

Silas got a 8 with a plus 6.

In the corner there's 2 people discussing the origins of a folk song that becomes a fist fight

Retiring to our rooms.
