Chapter Three: Crownhill

{19-20th Frontir 6736}

The Lucid Dreamers went back to Bluelog and there was a festival. Everyone had a great time eating way too many pies (some quite disgusting), battling bears and trolls, winning tons of gold in some cases, betting, and drinking a ton. Oor makes quite a scene at the arena and embarrasses everyone and the city guard as a whole. At the end of the day is a battle royale which ends in a thrilling two-way tie. The next morning everyone wakes up from being knocked out and finds out Oor is in it deep with the Commander. He gets publicly whipped and then escorted out of town to appease the angry populace. The party decides to make use of this several weeks banishment and take the dead girl and the man in armour to Crownhill to try getting them healed up (resurrected). On the way there Oor makes a fool of himself further by attacking some beautiful but dangerous giant elk. The party is fully expecting them to stomp Oor into the ground but he survives and eventually the party is forced to step in. Everyone is pissed at Oor and spends several hours trying to destroy the evidence and make the scene look like a wolf attack or something. We have a miserable night in leaking tents in the rain and wake up really hating Oor.

Further on, the party got attacked by some bounty hunters who are trying to get Rangrim. I guess he stole a sword relic because the sword told him too. Takes some time to accept but the group basically decides not to turn him in. Kept traveling and found The Sun in Sky Inn which was totally wrecked. Some frog people or something. Lots of dead frogmen and people but we found some survivors and brought them with us to Crownhill. Lots of interesting religious stuff all around the inn though. Stayed at another inn with some of these people’s friends including some folks (Nador and Havnear) and drank the King’s Piss.

{23rd Frontir 6736 - 11th Ostatyun 6737}

Met the not super friendly high priest who said ‘sure I’ll resurrect this man (not the girl she dead dead dead) if you go take care of these evil spirits invading the town’. So off we go under the town and we solve some riddles which is great and then battle the ‘evil people’ who are actually just fey and the reason the town is so lush and beautiful. Oops. End up destroying the purple orb that is a portal and possibly killing some fey royalty then pop out of existence and back into the cave under the city. Months have passed which is crazy. We do hear that our friend was resurrected but was also trying to apprehend Rangrim. Oops again. Also since we went into the cave the world is very different. Crownhill has lost its appeal and lots of people have been forced out of town by angry mobs. Guess this High Priest is a bit of a tyrant and not at all tolerant of other faiths. We feel bad and try to find our friends but they have all gone.

{15th Ostatyun 6737}

We go back to the Sun in the Sky Inn and find lots of friends who have basically rebuilt the place. Lots of them don’t seem to trust us anymore but we work with Nador to try to find a way to restore what we ruined. He goes to Old Vashton to research and we promise to help fix our mess.

At some point, either at this Inn or back in Bluelog, we meet Thoven, Tony’s character, who is Oor’s step-father? Interesting relationship there but not one we explore for too long because Thoven stays behind at the Sun in Sky Inn next time we go there.

{19th Ostatyun 6737}

Back in Bluelog we have lost our jobs because everyone thought we died. Oor is pretty rude to Mercer but Markku says he’d like a job again in the future if the opportunity presents itself. We decide to go return some of the Roekosan weapons and head to Old Vashton to talk to Nador and also follow various plot hooks (secrets secrets). Heigel gave Markku a weird cryptic message that he wants to understand.

{20th Ostatyun 6737}

We head off and on the way we come across some fighting people and what look like were-cats. We don’t know who is attacking whom so we non-lethally (for the most part) attack everyone but eventually figure out the cats are the good guys. One cat turns into a kid after the battle and then the other turns into his dad. The kid accidentally bit one dude so we have to let him die. We round up the rest of the bandits and track down one that got away with a bunch of Jarl’s gold. We make some new friends and have an enjoyable evening with Gill and Jarl.

12/15/18

Jarl and Gill agree to take the criminals back to Bluelog on their way home to Deshelet. We continue on, stopping at the Sun in the Sky Inn again. Folks welcome us in and we speak with Havnear but everyone else is somewhat cold and aloof to us again. We head to Old Vashton, encountering no trouble on the way other than Oor’s inability to control the mule. He yells at it so much he frightens it half to death and Markku has to soothe him to calm him down. Broxx finds plenty of berries along the path to reduce consumed rations.
