[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 6282768, member: 79141"] [b]Session 108c - Déjà vu[/b] Eventually his path met the river, and Leon paid a wood elf boatman to take him to the island palace of the River King - a brightly shining structure of beautifully sculpted pure white stone. There he made his way to the River King's inner court, in a great bubble beneath the surface of the river. (It had taken him weeks to gain access the last time; now, as a servant of the Unseen Court, he simply announced himself and walked in.) Surrounded by his court, Ulorian the River King slouched on his throne, looking for all the world as if he would slide off it. A languid, pallid elf, he seemed bored by Leon's presence, and by his request for help and information, turning the matters over to his courtiers. Leon was looking for Dantes - the satyr bard who had helped him before. He was told that Dantes had left to answer the call of Nbed the Lord of all Satyrs. Nbed was in turn the seravnt of the Rowan King who was calling an army to him to confront the Blight which threatened the forest. "That tiresome centaur is is always calling an army to him," said the River King. When asked about the Blight, no one was able to say exactly what it was, merely that they had heard about it in reports from the Oak King's Court. Leon remembered seeing great swathes of forest blackened and twisted, but his suggestion drew dismissive laughter. The Oak King could be trusted to prevent such a thing from happening. This was all very strange, as if the entire court had forgotten everything that had previously transpired. Leon asked about Tatzel. The courtiers admitted it had been a long time since anyone had seen or heard of the dragon, but then no outsiders had come to the Upper Dreaming for the very long time, and so no one had needed to leave. (Tatzel held the key to mortals' departure.) This conversation was interrupted and the throng parted for an elderly lizardman who walked with the aid of a stick, and wore thick spectacles: an incongruous sight. This was the Lizardman Minister who had entrusted the Jade Idol to Leon long ago. Tatzel had claimed that [I]he [/I]was the Lizardman Minister in polymorphed form and insisted on taking the idol back (along with Rehu Ketu, Leon's pseudodragon). The Lizardman Minister said that Tatzel had been lying. He was, after all, a green dragon. He warned that it was a mistake to have given the idol to Tatzel and insisted that Leon attempt to get it back (which was what Leon ws trying to do in the first place, and why he was trying to find Dantes). But wait - Leon had seen and heard all of this before! He had already been to the Dreaming, come to the Palace, met with the Minister and learned about Tatzel's lies. He had then gone on to travel the Dreaming, and learned the true extent of the hideous Blight at first hand in the company of... who was it again? He could not remember. Before he could ask the Minister about this strange feeling of [I]déjà vu,[/I] the audience was interrupted again - much more rudely this time - by an earsplitting crack of thunder and a bright white light. The watery ceiling of the chamber sizzled and steamed in the aftermath of the lightning strike. Before the River King's throne a broad-chested and white-haired eladrin man now stood, flanked by two burly firbolg, daubed in woad. The eladrin crackled with the energy of a barely contained thunderstorm: he was a bralani. "Ascodel!" breathed the River king. "What brings the Herald of the Great Hunt to our Palace?" The eladrin said that he had come to find out why there more so few game animals at large in the forests - too few for the Great Hunt, which would have to be postponed, a matter of grave concern to the Unseen Court. The River King replied that he had no knowledge of such matters - that the great beasts of the Upper Dreaming were the responsibility of the Rowan King. At length it was decided that both Ascodel and Leon should visit the Rowan King's Circle to find answers. Ascodel viewed the tiefling with suspicion, but could not deny that he bore a Mark of Passage that only the Unseen Court could bestow. For his part, Leon thought that there was something vaguely familiar about Ascodel that he could not quite put his finger on. Without further ado, the impatient bralani bore them into the air - himself, Leon and the two firbolg, whose names were Drust and Eogan - and spirited them at great speed across the treetops of the Upper Dreaming until at length they arrived at the Rowan King's Circle.
