15th January 2023 - Session 55 - Escaping Sansurei (at least for a while) - Eoin

As the party softly lands in the marshy bottom due to the feather fall potion, from above they can see the cloud castle of Zephyros coming to lend a hand. We quickly jump aboard and his smaller ship begins making a quick getaway towards Neverwinter. Zephyros says he likes the excitement of us small folk and never really liked Sansurei anyway. Zephyros had spent a long time over in the Moonshae isles seeing all sorts of chaos from sea creatures to thunderstorms.

He also says representatives of the giants have gone to meet princess Saoirse in the underwater palace of King Heckaton. The Count Vala of the cloud giants is much more reasonable than Sansurei and will most likely side with whoever gives her a bribe. Dunbarr gives Zephyros a jar of mucus and Zephyros then levitates away to drive the castle and mess around with the mucus.

During this time Graupel has been meditating to speak with Prittstick. Prittstick had a ribbon on her leg which was a message from a bard in Yartar saying the giant slaying axe was here. This must have been the bards Kin befriended in Yartar. If the message was dropped in Sansurei's castle, she might know where we are going. Bearnabus spends some time healing Prittstick from her injuries.

Zephyros floats back down and Dipple shows off the mighty conch. Zephyros has seen one of these and describes its magical uses. It can take 8 willing creatures to Heckaton's underwater palace. Giants can breathe underwater so some of the areas of the palace are filled with water. He then describes the different leaders of the giants::

- Fire giant queen hates dragons

- Frost giant king cares about weapons and swords

- Stone giant king cares about the all father oracle

- Mirin and Nim are sisters of princess Saoirse

- Saoirse uses her uncle, Uthur, as an advisor

We all have a long rest on our 2-day long journey to Neverwinter. When we arrive we begin buying supplies and potions. Kin finds a seller who gives him 2 dragon-slaying arrows and 2 giant-slaying arrows. The party then teleports to Yartar.

Dryads are around us when we arrive and ask who we are. We don't want to say and Kin bribes him to stay shtum. We head towards Scimitar Sally in the poisoned dagger. After some haggling with the bartender we get let into the back. It turns out Scimitar Sally is married to Harthal, Lord Zymomans' son. Harthal has the giant slaying axe but sadly is in prison right now for killing someone.

Dipple's plan is to pretend to be Harthal's legal representative and break him out. Bearnabus's plan is to dispel the magic on the safe containing the sword. Dunbarr's plan is to ask for the sword as it rightfully belongs to Lord Zymoman. Kin has gone to get help from the Emerald Enclave.  Something has to work right?

21st Decemer 2022 - Session 53 - Slippery Conches - Eoin

Cicero doesn't believe that we are not involved somehow and locks us inside the room to check out the disturbance. Dunbarr has a message conversation with Bearnabug. Dunbarr realises he is only getting insect tapping back as a response. One tap for yes, two for no. It seems like Bearnanbug is getting on good and now is the time for the party to leap into action. Dipple begins casting ice magic upon the lock to try to break it open but fails. Kin with dexterous hands and lock-picking tools unlocks the door getting some cold hands because of it. Upstairs Bearnabug turns into an air elemental and strikes at Sansuri but fails to steal the conch. Sansuri farts a wind aura around herself and tells Airnabus to show her true form. Airnabus says "look, I'm panicking, I'm just trying to make you the leader of the giants". Airnabus then gives her potion of hill giant strength to Prittstick who immediately becomes super ripped. They both go in for another attack on Sansuri. A

28th Feb 2021 - Session 3 - Into the Keep - Brian

We rejoin our intrepid heroes after a devastating cliff-hanger. Dipple insights the crap out of the lady in the inn. We discover her name is Kella, she's a monk but is very well dressed and not as one might expect a monk. Suspicions are at an all time high. Kella is from Clondaptin (name may or may not be correct). Kin and Dunbarr loot the crap out of a sweet chest and divvy up the loot. Bearnabus, having released a snake from a box she has found, decides maybe releasing a flying snake in a small room might not have been the best plan. After an intense wrestling session, the snake is back in the box. Turns out the snake belongs to Kella and she wants it back. After a clever bit of sleight of hand Bearnabus hid the snake in the tinder box from Kella. The group tried to sneak the keep but Dunbarr was loud as all bedamned. He blamed the 25 foot ladder he was carrying but the group all give scathing looks none the less. The ladder attracts the attention of two lazily named goblins. (al

18th July 2021 - Session 20 - The Grand Dame - Brian

The night continued with Graupel standing there reminiscing fondly about the events of the last hour or two, much to the bemusement of the crowd standing around. Graupel finishes recounting our highly illegal tale and begins really making a balls of practicing the lute. One of the lutists, Cassie, takes pity on her and decides to help her learn. Kin, having just knocked out a rower, grabbed the oars and got ready to row so as not to attract attention. Dunbarr does a status check with everyone and coordinates where help might be if anyone needs it. Dipple is a masterclass in deception and continues upstairs with some Vol au Vents. He eats one sneakily on the way, thoroughly hoping that there wasn’t an exact number. He goes upstairs and offers the captain some snacks before continuing down a corridor. In the first room there is some banging, silence in the second room and possibly hears a splash of some kind in the third. At the last door, Dipple hears some god awful lute playing as if s
