Ian is our special guest!

We are in a jail cell, no possessions, with a bunch of guards. Rectangular cell. Badger in jail area but not cell with us

No magic detected in the jail area.

Drip becomes a spider, leaves cell walks around.

Cell to right has just a skeleton.

GUARD STEPS ON SPIDER!

Artemis and Xanadu talk to guard. Tells up repeatedly to shut up. Tells us we shouldn’t be here – in this realm.

Tork tries to convince guard that we are peaceful and this is a mistake. Guard says “ok you’re peaceful, I don’t care”

Igan regens Drip – guards asks WTF. He’s a pain in the ass and doesn’t want to talk with us.

Drips checks left room – completely empty.

Guards tell us to come up to bars and turn around. We get shackled. We are led out of the jail area and walk us down this hallway. We go through a few rooms to a big throne room. Sitting on it is a weird creature we haven’t seen before.

We meet Vogren – who wants to know why we’ve been in his realm.

We tell him of the evil in our lands.

Lots of back and forth. Tork dances, Vogren not impressed.

Vogren lacks entertainment – tells us he wants us to perform a play “Hyalvaeton and the Wizard”

We don’t know the play, so Vogren will teach it us.

Artemis is Hyalvaeton – barbarian

Xanada is Snacks

Igan is evil wizard

Tork – Azura, the young maiden

We do the play, I didn’t take notes.

The play, basically, Barbarian goes to village, finds out someone is missing. Runs into Snacks on the road – she is fighting orcs. We go fight Igan’s evil wizard who has maiden Tork. Barbarian beats up wizard, captured Tork maiden turns into witch.

Vogren directs us, is pleased enough, gives us the shard.

He has directed in the past, enjoys collaborating with elves.

He wishes up the best of luck dying in our world

He has a book that when he opens it, it tells us how we die.

He gets bored and sends us on our way.

We hold the gem and say the incantation. Everything goes dark, then bright again. We are in the same place.

We say the incantation backwards, and return to Kenktucy

A kenku comes up to us – the kenku from Shiny Things comes up to us. “We have big problem. Monsters in the fields. Scary”. His name is Ian. He has boat, can go far.

How many monsters “lot”. In the fields past the wall. “The wall! The wall!”

We have to go through front gate. Tork climbs wall, hurts himself at the beginning and end for a total of 12 damage.

Rest of us go through front gate.

Xanadu looks for tracks, doesn’t see any at the edge of the fields.

We approach a yellow wheat field, size of football field. There are scarecrows sticking out – about four.

Drip flies up, circles around – doesn’t see anything.

Magic is detected on scarecrows.

Xanadu shoots scarecrow – hits. Scarecrow doesn’t do anything.

Badger rummages through field to scarecrow. Nothing to report.

Igan investigates scarecrow, gives Xanadu her arrow. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Artemis and Tork walk the east perimeter – nothing but more scarecrows with magic

Xanadu tries to dig up scarecrow, no luck. Chops down the scarecrow. Tork tries to catch it, scarecrow grabs Tork’s arm!!!

We engage in battle – Scarecrow can frighten

Aretmis’ arrow goes right through it

Igan casts bonfire – sets it on fire.

Attacks Xanadu, hits, and falls down. Fire. Badger is unconscious.

Igan eldrich blasts the scarecrow, disintegrates it.

Wall is now on fire.

Artemis and Tork run to town to alert them of fire.

Xanadu and Igan fight scarecrows. More of the field is set on fire

They run south where there isn’t fire. Scarecrow follows.

Combat continues, fire continues to spread.

Second scarecrow is killed

Artemis and Tork tell the guards about fire, whole town knows, we go back to the fields meet up with Igan and Xanadu.

Remaining two scarecrows on fire.

We go down to the water. Tork starts pulling rocks away from the shore wall. Digs a ditch, but doesn’t work because it’s below the fire.

Igan cheers on “Wow! Look at Tork!” no one notices.

We dig a one foot wide trench and a hole up to surface via badger (Xanadu revives badger). Artemis casts thunderwave and five feet of water comes up and falls down around the hole – no impact.

We go back to the town. Embers everywhere. East side of town is mostly burned down, many kenku dead. We look for Ian at museum – no one there.

Tork and Xanudu put on costumes. We go to the docks – one boat there. We go on the boat – and Ian comes out! Asks us what happened.

We tell Ian that we destroyed the monsters and the monsters destroyed the wheat.

Ian agrees to take us on his boat to NeverWinter.

For 10 days we listen to Ian’s standup comedy. Skits, songs.
