At night in the safety of the cave …

Licornah casts Cure Light Wounds multiple times on Indigo, bringing him up to moderately wounded.

Indigo: Thank you Licornah!

Bixi Fizzlebang casts Cure Light Wounds a couple times on Tiberius which brings him up to heavily wounded.

Bixi mentions a need for berries for healing.

Zayden: I could search the area for some berries if we think it's safe about?

Branwyn: cantrips some berries for Bixi

Branwyn: [SKILL] Cantrip [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 17) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 10]

Craigh: sees what Branwyn did and tries to duplicate it himself

Craigh: [SKILL] Cantrip [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 6] [d20 = 19]

Bixi Fizzlebang: [CAST] Goodberry

Bixi Fizzlebang: [d4 = 4]

Bixi Fizzlebang: [d4 = 3]

Bixi Fizzlebang: hands berries to Indigo

Bixi Fizzlebang: Might make you feel a little better, if you want them

Indigo: Thanks Bixi!

Indigo: gobbles up the berries and feels better

Zayden: I have a thought, how about we say something we're grateful for, so we have a good nights sleep

Bixi Fizzlebang: Ooooh, I like that

Zayden: Grateful to be out of prison and away from Giants

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm grateful that giants didn't murder me or any of my friends, despite their best efforts

Tiberius Branadarus: I am happy to be on an adventure with my wife who I love again

Bixi Fizzlebang: ... did you stop loving her?

Branwyn: Love again??

Zayden struggles to hide a chuckle

Branwyn: punches him in the arm lightly

Youtargim: I am glad to be part of an adventuring group that is doing new things

Tiberius Branadarus: Again! Adventuring again!

Tiberius Branadarus: I mean I have always loved you,

Tiberius Branadarus: But staying at home while you went away

Bixi Fizzlebang: Phrasing Tiberius. Phrasing.

Tiberius Branadarus: not a big fan

Branwyn: I am grateful that my husband who snores by the way, did not stay and try to fight half a dozen wolves

Youtargim: She left you behind?

Tiberius Branadarus: Well she knew I could handle it

Tiberius Branadarus: There was a time we went adventuring and got into all sort of fun trouble

Tiberius Branadarus: Then we had kids

Youtargim: Multiple?

Tiberius Branadarus: Of course!

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yogurt, didn't you meet them?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Sorry, Youtargim

Tiberius Branadarus: Well I mean certainly as many as we should have

Bixi Fizzlebang: Your name is hard for me, apologies, that was rude

Youtargim: I came from my lands with the Countess and then we left for here shortly afterwards

Youtargim: I did not explore your lands very much

Youtargim: There was that one woman who seems to never shut up, she was fun

Branwyn: You can meet them when we get home. They will like you

Bixi Fizzlebang: We spent a few weeks preparing. The children kept two of the cats. You never met the children in that time?

Youtargim: I was busy trying to translate things for the Countess

Bixi Fizzlebang: uh huh. ok.

Youtargim: The food was very good

Youtargim: I can see why Indigo extolls it

Youtargim: Your lands must be famous for its chefs

Craigh: Mostly just the one chef.

Youtargim: I did meet that .... scout? I think the Countess wanted him to test me, that .... ummm. EEElerio?

Youtargim: Is that how you say it?

Branwyn: Ilero

Youtargim: That seems to have more vowels than he used

Branwyn: smiles

Tiberius Branadarus: Do it dear

Tiberius Branadarus: You do it better than anyone else

Tiberius Branadarus: Other than him of course

Branwyn: No t'anks. It's not hokay to talk like Ilero

Tiberius Branadarus: See

Branwyn: grins

Youtargim: Yeah that sounds right

Youtargim: So Miss Bixi

Youtargim: What do you do around the Estate?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Study, mostly.

Licornah: :: sits, grabs her holy symbol and closes her eyes to meditate on things and figure out what obvious clue she missed ::

Bixi Fizzlebang: sleeps

Craigh sits and listens to everything Licornah has to say

Branwyn: sinks down in a corner of the cave with Tiberius and tries to clean up some of the wounds from his fighting the wolves

Licornah, she gets the message; Be well my child, you are far from home but are now Home. You have shown your self to be fair and strong, where do you want to spend your days? At home? or here at Home? or off in the planes adventuring?

the second part of Licornah's inspiration: you have brought both chaos and order to your Home, restoring order through the chaos is a good thing. Protecting Home is a good thing.

and so the night passes

The date is Ko____se, 26th Fey (Winter), 351 SKR

Young Moon's phase is New Moon

Old Moon's phase is Waxing Gibbous

The time is 6:00 AM

Branwyn: yawns and stretches

Licornah tells the group her insights

Branwyn: I don't want to show up at the goddess and have her take all our treasure

Branwyn: We promised them a chain

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, we worked hard and some of us almost died for that

Branwyn: Indigo, please help

Branwyn: puts up the room scroll

Craigh: groans as the noises of the others wakes him

Indigo: starts putting the coffers with all the gems and platinum, etc. into the room scroll

Bixi Fizzlebang: watches all the treasure going into the scroll

Craigh: Ow, ow , ow... Stone makes a terrible mattress.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Do... you think she had a point about us being thieves?

Indigo: I dunno. Giants are evil and we beat them so we get stuff?

Indigo: Think that's it

Indigo: looks around, everything except the party pack chest and the chain box is left

Indigo: takes the scroll off the wall and puts it away

Indigo: If we had to get something from a nice person we wouldn't have had to fight so much. But with all those ears we found from elves that the giants killed, they probably got all this stuff from killing people

Bixi Fizzlebang: nods slowly

Bixi Fizzlebang: That makes sense...

Bixi Fizzlebang: It feels a little weird though

Craigh: Gods tend to make their own morality, I guess.

Bixi Fizzlebang: The enemy of my enemy is my friend kind of thing.

Indigo: We'll use it to travel and get training and Zayden will need weapons and stuff. You need to learn more spells. We'll find good things to do with it

Branwyn: Are you ready Licornah?

Craigh: I mean, we could just stay in the cave, right?

Craigh grins

Branwyn: laughs

Licornah: :: takes a deep breath and pauses:: As ready as we can be...

Branwyn: Do you want to take the chain in case we get paralyzed again?

Branwyn: points to the box

Bixi Fizzlebang: The whole situation makes me uncomfortable. I will be glad to get back “home”

Licornah: :: shakes head :: Please do not get it near me. I am uncertain how that would effect my emotions.

Indigo: Me too! Home is good

Licornah: Here is HOME

Licornah: home is not here

Craigh: I hear ya, Bixi. My master would be seriously shocked to see me traveling the planes.

Branwyn: I shall carry it then and you can tell me what to do with it when the time comes?

Licornah: :: turns before they set out and speaks to the cat:: They want you to do as you wish...stay with them or remain here amongst the elven lands.

Licornah: :: continues :: if you wish to stay with them, they will ask you to carry a drow artifact -- this is your choice as well

Nightshade, Cat, Elven : [Translation] This is a warm nice place, but they might be interesting to follow and see where they go, where are you going? staying here or with them?

[understood by: Licornah]

Licornah: :: nods :: With them today. We must finish what they started and clear their name

Bixi Fizzlebang: Awww, thanks Nightshade!

Nightshade, Cat, Elven : [Translation] Is there more than today?

[understood by: Licornah]

Licornah: Permitted the handmaiden doesn't end us, yes. Of this, I am confident

Nightshade, Cat, Elven : [Translation] It will be interesting then to see where tomorrow opens

[understood by: Licornah]

Licornah: :: nods in agreement :: Nightshade will remain with you

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] Sneering. Look who has returned

[understood by: Licornah]

Licornah and Nightshade are immune to the goddess’ spell. [N’laea and Raelynn are as well but are in the background for this scene.]

Save [20] [Target 8] -> [for Branwyn] [SUCCESS]

Branwyn is able to resist the spell and is able to move and speak in the presence of the goddess and her avatar.

The rest of the group is again frozen in the presence of the goddess and are unaware of what is happening.

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] Sneers, Look who has returned

[understood by: Licornah]

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] Looking at your group, you barely escaped with your lives it seems

[understood by: Licornah]

Licornah : [Translation] :: blinks and holds up her holy symbol :: This group has united to return that which was missing and put themselves at great personal peril

[understood by: Licornah]

Nightshade, Cat, Elven : [Translation] Purrrrrs

[understood by: Licornah]

Licornah : [Translation] Sure one of good would recognize and applaud that

[understood by: Licornah]

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] Have you truly returned with your prize?

[understood by: Licornah]

Licornah : [Translation] Perhaps, we'd like to speak with the Lady now

[understood by: Licornah]

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] They can speak for themselves

[understood by: Licornah]

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] Let them tell the tale of their journey

[understood by: Licornah]

Licornah : [Translation] Unfortunately, those among us who speak our language are limited

[understood by: Licornah]

Branwyn: thinks, at least everyone sounds calm

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] pauses and looks at Branwyn, you are not un aware?

[understood by: Licornah]

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] Now you can hear us

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] It is unusual that a mortal can stand here

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Licornah : [Translation] :: turns and relays the message ::

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Branwyn: eyes widen

Branwyn: bows to goddess out of respect

Licornah : [Translation] :: smiles :: Thank you Lady :: bows with her holy symbol still in hand ::

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] Tell me of your journey into the wilderness

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Licornah : [Translation] :: pauses to allow Branwyn to speak ::

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Branwyn: We found the Giant Steading as you asked. The giants are mining and actively expanding their efforts

Branwyn: It was ... difficult, but we found the chain you requested in a secret basement room very well protected

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] How could you survive handling such an artifact?

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Branwyn: Licornah can speak to the chain itself better than I

Branwyn: Ohh we have not handled it

Branwyn: We have not tried to touch it

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] So you do not know you have the actual chain

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] Just something to pawn off and pretend you have accomplished your quest

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Licornah : [Translation] :: turns :: We know... it radiates

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Branwyn: I believe we do. Licornah?

Licornah : [Translation] Perhaps you'd like to test me

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Licornah : [Translation] :: narrows her eyes at the handmaiden ::

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] Let us see what you have brought out

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Licornah : [Translation] :: motions to NightShade ::

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Nightshade, Cat, Elven : [Translation] Nightshade moves forward and deposits the small chest in front of Branwyn and Licornah

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] What do you expect us to do? you claim it is the artifact but you are afraid to show it?

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] holds up her hand

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] Show us what you have found

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Licornah : [Translation] :: pauses and opts not to speak ::

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Licornah : [Translation] I'd prefer not to touch this instrument of the drow my Lady

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Branwyn: bends down and lifts the lid of the chest

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] Eyes tighten at the sight

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Licornah : [Translation] :: to Branwyn :: Please close it

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Branwyn: closes it again

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] Impossible

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] What do you wish in exchange for this cursed item?

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] I agree that you have recovered it

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] Watching Branwyn and Licornah

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Licornah : [Translation] It's not my place to make an ask of this deity. Only to cast out the handmaiden will be enough for today

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] I do not understand casting out a handmaiden

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] Looks at her Avatar, you have your chance here to right a wrong

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] To Licornah and Branwyn... Leave the casket there, open it and we shall see if she can vanquish it

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] Scoffs, I am true, I can defend your faith

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Licornah : [Translation] :: takes a deep breath and begins a silent prayer ::

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Branwyn: opens the casket again and then steps back a few paces

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] pulls out her quarterstaff and STABS it into the casket to SMITE the chain

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

A flash of light with a deep dark center erupts into the clearing

Branwyn: raises her hand to try to shield her eyes

There is an acrid smell of molten iron and a whiff of brimstone

Then the clearing is clear and the casket is empty

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] nods, very well done

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Branwyn: puts her hand down and sighs in relief

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] That gate has been closed

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] She will not stop in her attempts but you have foiled this one

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine Moonbow : [Translation] And you have returned my cloak without preconceived need

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] smiles

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] You have seen through the veils of mistrust and stopped the incursion into our lands

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] What boon can I grant you

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Licornah : [Translation] Please heal our friends... they ask for nothing and supported the effort without complaint :: motions ::

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] waves a hand

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine's Avatar: waves a hand an all are fully healed and full spells again

Branwyn: Thank you

Licornah : [Translation] :: bows her head :: We are honored...

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] Only a mortal could pierce the veils that hid this device

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] and only the honest could return it to us to vanquish it

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] You have proven yourselves to be heroes

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] Is there no other boon you ask of our lands?

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Licornah : [Translation] :: turns to Branwyn ::

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] will you stay and feast with us at least?

[understood by: Branwyn, Licornah]

Branwyn: smiles

Branwyn: We would like that very much. It is not my place to ask anything of you.

Branwyn: We were glad to have helped our friends and you.

The Goddess smiles and fades away

leaving everyone able to unfreeze and look around

to see the casket open and cracked in half with the chain missing

the Avatar is still there smiling at your group

Craigh: That's a good sign, I hope.

Branwyn: I can't tell you how happy I am that the chain has been destroyed

Craigh: That sounds like a good thing.

Craigh: Are we good?

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] Will you join us for a feast this evening?

[understood by: Licornah]

Bixi Fizzlebang: Is everyone ok?

Branwyn: Very much so Craigh

Craigh: Phew

Branwyn: We will feast today to celebrate

Bixi Fizzlebang: Zayden? Are you ok?

Indigo: Did I miss everything again?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Indigo, did you hear that!? A feast!

Indigo: I feel better though. Like all healed and healthy

Indigo: Yes a feast is good

Indigo: sees the avatar

Indigo: bows deeply

Indigo: Hello ... your goddessness

Craigh notes the avatar is smiling.

Bixi Fizzlebang: does her signature awkward curtsy

Sehanine's Avatar : [Translation] You did well

[understood by: Licornah]

Branwyn: All has been set right and Licornah can tell you the details

Zayden: I'm ok thanks, little hungry

The time is 6:00 PM

Craigh: Details are good things.

Craigh keeps his eye on the avatar, just in case.
