Message: <blockquote data-quote="Binks" data-source="post: 6879223" data-attributes="member: 6775039">End of Session* Bonds – 2 bonds resolved so 2 xp:Otthor is the finest warrior I have ever been graced to fight alongside. His skill inspires me.  Not quite yet.  I’m going to take a melee combat move next time I level.  It will be resolved then.The long, hateful memory of the Winter Fey will trouble us in the future, I am sure of it.  We are pretty clearly there at this point.  Both of our quests are centered around them as antagonists.  Check.Rawr’s mischievousness is going to get us in trouble someday!  Otthor is right.  Rawr may have helped me resolve the issues at the farm, but there can be no doubt that he reveled in the destruction he caused and likely saw it as a form of play!  Check.I am bound by solemn oath to protect Sadia.  We aren’t remotely out of woods yet.  Not until we confront, and vanquish if need be, the Prince of Frost and the hateful spirits of Sadia’s sisters will she be safe.Like Teck, I’m not sure on my new bonds yet. I'll have them figured out by my next post.* Alignment – Chaotic: Defeat a tyrant. The opportunity has been there, but I’m afraid we lost.  I don’t see the silver lining that Otthor does in our conflict with the tyrannical ministers of the Summer Court.  I feel that we lost that battle.  We go directly into a tyrant’s den soon enough so there is always another opportunity.Just going to copy/pasta Teck’s reply to these.* Did we learn something new and important about the world?As the campfire tale goes, The Prince of Frost's heart was turned to ice untold millennia ago when his blue-eyed eladrin love spurned him for a mortal lover. The two lovers made a deal with the death goddess to cast their souls into the future where hopefully the ire of the frost prince will have melted. If anything it froze further.With multiple lines of evidence now, it appears that our poor Sadia is indeed that blue-eyed eladrin reborn.To this I’ll just add:  And the tragic phantoms we encountered during Farmer Barnum’s ritual are her lost sisters.1 xp* Did we overcome a notable monster or enemy?I feel like we overcame the corrupt Summer Court ministers. They ended up losing much more than they gained.We got at least as much as we lost with Farmer Barnum.Korshek and the Wild Hunt were soundly defeated.1 xp* Did we loot a memorable treasure?The Moon Seer's Eye.1 xp10 xp total.[HR][/HR] While I’m making the arrangements to burn the firbolg hunter bodies and send them to the afterlife, Lucky is using his Fetch ability to retrieve 1 Ammo from the battlefield.Also, as discussed, bumping Edge’s HPs up from 4 to 6.[HR][/HR] I am not so squeamish, I’ve eaten far worse, and don’t share Otthor’s concern for the mystics of the enchantment.  I take the eye and move outside of camp for some privacy.  Under the light of the full moon, I thank the three fates for this boon, and consume the Moon Seer’s eye.  While I am no master of the Wild Hunt, the ability to locate the the Fomorian that ambushed our patrol and the Winter Fey Bralani will be of tremendous aid.I’ll add the Moon Seer move to my character sheet.[HR][/HR]I have a couple of thoughts that I want to discuss with Otthor while we relax on the flat-boat.How in the world are we going to talk to Sadia about her situation?  “Sorry dear, you’re actually a reincarnated eladrin girl of myth that spurned the Summer Prince, unleashing winter upon the Feywild.  And your guilt is because your beloved sisters were turned into lost wraiths because of your actions.”Logistically, I was thinking about a couple of things.Do you think we can entrust Sadia to the Ranger Lord of Shinaelstra.  In your telling of it, he had your side of things during the Summer Court vote.  He is one of the founding members of my order so I am well in his good graces as well. Also, what if when we crossed over to the mortal world while in Shinaelstra, we stayed there, using it to travel to the Fey Crossing nearest Vor Thomil.  I think that would probably better hide our movements from our enemies in the Feywild, it would likely be safer, and perhaps faster?   I’m going to go ahead and say that time and space doesn’t correlate precisely from the mortal world to the Feywild.  Maybe a mile traveled in the mortal world is twice that in the Feywild![HR][/HR]Manage Provisions for the day of travel on the ferry, Calling Lucky and Scout Ahead for the final leg of our journey.[sblock]Manage Provisions (Wis) for day 22, 2 +3 = 7Everyone consumes the expected amount of rations.2 each for Lucky and Rawr + 1 each for the four of us = 6 rations.  Nearing double digits left in my stash.  Going to need to replenish in Shinaelestra.Animal Spirit (Wis)3, 2 +3 = 8Lucky gives me +1 armor.Scout Ahead (Wis) on a Perilous JourneyElven Ranger: Automatic 10+ to Scout Ahead.Choose 2:* You discern a beneficial aspect of the terrain—shortcut, shelter, or tactical advantage (describe it).* You get the drop on whatever lies ahead.[/sblock]Lucky and Edge will accompany me at the top of the ridge.  Up top is a nasty thicket that gives us great cover, a gnarly barrier, and great sight-line to view the trail and the depths of the valley below.  However, navigating it without repeatedly gouging yourself is extremely difficult.  I conversed with Rawr and Sadia at the outset of our trek.  He is an excellent climber and the slope leading up to the ridge is covered in thick roots.  Navigating it quickly is well within his capabilities.  He will take up the rearguard position with Sadia in front of him, Otthor and Leonel in front of the both of them on the trail.  Should any danger come to pass, Rawr will immediately scoop Sadia up and use the terrain to swiftly climb her up to safety.   Breaking through the wall of thickets isn’t such a problem for the mighty bear.</blockquote>
