# Summary ## [[Trip to Gavony]] [[The Boy Scout Boys]], [[Jié ní]], [[Lazhna Whitesmith|Lazhna]], [[Or (Adventurer)|Or]], [[Yuhguna Dyeh]], [[Valdove]], and [[Haru Lightfang]], accompanied by [[Mia Corvere]], depart from [[Krashaprovos]] and head towards [[Gavony]] to help Lazhna find closure given the recent trouble in her family, [[The Skeingold Family|The Skeingolds]]. They stop for a moment at [[Bark & Bite Aleworks]] in [[Vinionwood]] for [[Kessig Cheese Sandwich|Kessig Cheese Sandwiches]] before continuing their journey. After a few days' journey, The Boy Scout Boys eventually arrive in Gavony, where they notice a commotion in [[Gavony Town Square]], where they spot [[Sirina Skeingold]], Lazhna's step-mother and a recent escapee from [[Sea Garrison Prison]] in Krashaprovos. Sirina retreats, accompanied by armed mercenaries, after spotting the party. The Boy Scout Boys stop by [[The Wispy Willows]] tavern to plan there next steps, where they learn workers have gone missing in [[The Whispering Woods]] recently. While in the tavern, the party meets the feral [[Kalashtar]] [[Druid]] [[Ayula, Daughter of Goreclaw|Ayula]], who is seeking out a [[Fey Crossing]] herself. Their goals aligned, Ayula joins the party. Upon further investigation of Gavony, Mia discovers a heavy mercenary presence, a lack of traders in the city and that Lazhna's half-brother [[Kevish Skeingold]] has not been seen since his return from Krashaprovos following [[The Flamerule Fete of 1458|The Flamerule Fete]]. While walking through the city, the group is attacked by mercenaries led by [[Letho of Vislatre]], the former bodyguard of [[Balsorym|King Daudren Mallek]] and another escapee from Sea Garrison Prison. Many of The Boy Scout Boys take on an animal form, and the battle quickly takes on the appearance of an animal stampede. The battle ends as quickly as it begins, as Letho and his Mercenaries are swiftly killed by the party. Wanting to avoid further confrontation, the party sneaks out of town into [[The Whispering Woods]], where they meet the old Druid [[Torrie]], who agrees to show them the way to The Feywilds. The next day, they return to Gavony and learn of a bounty on their heads, as well as the strained relationship between the local guards and Sirina's mercenaries. The group sneaks into [[The Skeingold Estate]] through the window to Lazhna's room while an altercation between [[Brackus Whitefist]] and [[Sirina Skeingold]] occurs downstairs, ending in Sirina knocking Brackus unconscious and hiding him in the cellar. Inside, they meet [[Rezan Skeingold|Rezan]] and [[Zira Skeingold]], who help them lay low until the coast is clear. The party investigates the estate and uncovers Sirina's plan to bleed the family business dry before fleeing, as well as [[Vasily's Journal]] and [[Vasily's Sending Stone]]. Meanwhile, [[Or (Adventurer)|Or]] and [[Jié ní]] attempt to help a bedridden [[Kevish Skeingold]], who they determine is under the effect of a [[Sorrowsworn Curse|Curse]]. A mere second after Or dispels the curse, a [[Kevish's Sorrowsworn|Sorrowsworn]], an [[Monstrosity]] feeding off of Kevish's negative feelings about his father's death, bursts through the window, it's enormous fist swinging towards Or. In the second before the Sorrowsworn's blow makes contact, Or receives a vision from [[Orzith Ilix, The Thought Collector|The Thought Collector]], commanding Or to find him. Combat ensues as the Sorrowsworn crashes through the house and The Boy Scout Boys try to defeat it while keeping Kevish out if it's grasp. In the chaos, [[Valdove]] charms Sirina, effectively capturing her. In the end, the Sorrowsworn is defeated and Kevish is saved, though a wing of the estate is badly damaged in the process. In the aftermath, the party enjoys the company of the remainder of [[The Skeingold Family]], and Lazhna reads Vasily's journal and learns more about the family's past, including that her mother, [[Ketrine]] did not die as she was told by Vasily, and instead disappeared after her nature as a [[Changeling]] was discovered. Before leaving Gavony, the sends Sirina back to Krashaprovos to be imprisoned again, and Or claims some wine from the cellar. Lazhna (Fiska) reconciles with her family and, unbeknownst to the party, reunites with her boyfriend, [[Dimitri Kordov|Mitya]]. The two share a passionate kiss before the group sets off on their journey to [[The Feywilds]]. --- # Adventure Log ## [[29 Flamerule 1458]], [[Krashaprovos]] Light visits [[The Swashbuckler's Guild Headquarters]] first thing in the morning leaves a large sum of money with [[Bravana]] to assist in the rebuilding efforts. The party gathers their horses, [[Jimbo]], [[Jimathan]], and [[Lucky]], which have been boarded at [[The Sloshed Swallow]] for a better part of a month. The board was 21 [[Gold]]. The Boy Scout Boys regroup with [[Mia Corvere]] and depart north to [[Gavony]]. Lazhna ask Mia about [[The Feywilds]]. Mia mentions [[The Suberin Guard|The City Guard of Astrazalian]], and the [[Archfey]], masters of their domain. The group travels for a day, and rests. ## [[30 Flamerule 1458]], Near [[Vinionwood]] Travels continue. The party makes a stop in [[Vinionwood]] and visits [[Bark & Bite Aleworks]]. They eat [[Kessig Cheese Sandwich|Kessig Cheese Sandwiches]] and make small tock with [[Jack]], [[John]] and [[Gregor]]. The party continues traveling north, and makes camp near [[Kessig Monastery]]. [[Lazhna Whitesmith]] makes an offering at [[Kessig Of The Branching Paths]] , a statue of [[Kessig]], the namesake of [[Kessig Monastery]]. She mentions an appropriate offering would be [[Roasted Goat]] or [[Kessig Cheese]]. Light does some fishing, unsuccessfully. Yuh hunts for rabbit. ## [[Midsummer 1458]], Near [[Kessig Monastery]] The group travels, and camps again just outside [[Gavony]]. They notice that no traders seem to be departing Gavony, but the day is otherwise uneventful. ## [[1 Eleasis 1458]], Near [[Gavony]] After another five hours of travel, the group arrives in [[Gavony]]. Mia Corvir offers to spy for Lazhna, who is uncertain of where affairs lie in town in regards to her. Mia departs from the group to investigate. The group passes by [[Gavony Grammar School]] and [[The Wispy Willows]]. The group notices a commotion in the [[Gavony Town Square|Town Square]]. They notice a blonde woman in the center of the crowd. Or approaches, and is surprised to see [[Sirina Skeingold]], who escaped from [[Sea Garrison Prison]] during [[The Burning of Krashaprovos]]. ![[A_Commotion_In_The_Town_Square.png]] *Sirina hands Or a pamphlet.* Shocked to see his enemy up close, the group quickly retreats. Sirina leaves quickly as well. The party heads to [[The Wispy Willows]], where they meet [[Ayula, Daughter of Goreclaw]], a lean, mangy, dirty woman with sharp features, gaunt cheeks and very pale skin. Ayula cannot speak, and converses in grunts or telepahically. By coincidence, Ayula is also looking for a path to [[The Feywilds]], and she has a map of [[Fey Crossing|Fey Crossings]]. She joins the party. The party overhears some gossip about workers that have gone missing recently in [[The Whispering Woods]]. The group reunites with Mia, who has discovered a heavy [[Mercenary]] presence in Gavony. Mia has also discovered that while there are almost no traders coming and going from the city, there are more field laborers than usual. She also mentions that nobody has seen [[Kevish Skeingold]] since his return from [[Krashaprovos]] following [[The Flamerule Fete of 1458]]. The party is eventually discovered and attacked by the [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]] on a bridge, led by none other than [[Letho of Vislatre]], who also escaped in the chaos of [[The Burning of Krashaprovos]] and apparently joined Sirina in Gavony. The party quickly defeats Letho and his men, having grown more powerful in their recent adventures. [[Or (Adventurer)|Or]] [[Command|Commands]] several mercenaries to jump into the water. [[Jié ní]] uses [[The Hisstle]] to transform into a snake, [[Valdove]] uses [[Polymorph]] to transform into a [[Gorilla]] and [[Ayula, Daughter of Goreclaw|Ayula]] assumes her [[Bear]] [[Wildshape]] form. ![[GavonyZoo.png]] *They're going wild and dropping the hottest diss tracks around. The Boy Scout Boys!* Letho is quickly killed and the guards with him defeated. Ayula causes a distraction while the rest of the party escapes before more trouble arrives. The group sneaks out of town and into [[The Whispering Woods]], where they meet [[Torrie]], a druid that lives in the woods. They camp outside of [[Torrie's Hut]]. At night [[Valdove]] hears a [[Kevish's Sorrowsworn|monster in the woods]] with [[Kevish Skeingold|Kevish]]'s voice. ## [[2 Eleasis 1458]], [[The Whispering Woods]] The group awakens and returns to [[Gavony]], quietly scouting the town. They discover that there is a bounty on their heads. They also observe that the local guards and Sirina's mercenaries are not antagonistic towards one another. The group sneaks over to [[The Skeingold Estate]]. Lazhna sends [[Lil' Lazhna]] to spy. She sees [[Sirina Skeingold]] holed up inside, as well as [[Kevish Skeingold]] asleep in bed, and [[Rezan Skeingold]] studying some kind of book. Ayula sneaks inside using her [[Rat]] [[Wildshape]]. Lil' Lazhna observes the arrival of [[Brackus Whitefist]]. He appears to have some kind of argument with Sirina before she knocks him unconscious with a wine bottle. Lazhna, in disguise, reaches out to Brackus' Family. The Whitefist family, including [[Aramonda Whitefist]] arrive and a conflict begins out front of the estate. The party uses this opportunity to sneak upstairs into [[Lazhna Whitesmith|Fiska]]'s room, where they are eventually found by [[Rezan Skeingold|Rezan]] and [[Zira Skeingold|Zira]]. They reveal that Kevish was depressed and angry upon his return from [[The Flamerule Fete of 1458]], and shortly after he collapsed. After getting roudy and ultimately being forced out by the guards, the Whitefist family departs. The party gives Rezan 500 [[Gold]] to pay the mercenaries guarding the estate to abandon their posts, and then rests until nightfall. At night, [[Lazhna Whitesmith|Lazhna]], [[Valdove]], [[Haru Lightfang|Light]] and [[Yuhguna Dyeh|Yuh]] investigate [[Vasily Skeingold]]'s office. Meanwhile, Or [[Or (Adventurer)|Or]] and [[Jié ní]] check on [[Kevish Skeingold|Kevish]]. Or uses [[Detect Thoughts]] on Kevish, and finds him dreaming of Vasily's death, an evil presence and necrotic energy. Jié ní heals him, he appears more healthy but remains afflicted. In the office, Lazhna and Valdove find Vasily's safe. It contains a [[Vasily's Sending Stone|Sending Stone]], as well as trade documents, which reveal that Sirina has been directing the business to prioritize faster trade routes: she's in a hurry. She is not doing any of the necessary work for the upkeep of the business. It appears that she is attempting to bleed the company dry. The safe also contains [[Platinum Bar|Platinum Bars]], and the deed to the estate. Upstairs, [[Sirina Skeingold]] bursts into Kevish' room, discovering Or and Jié ní. In a hurry, Or uses [[Remove Curse]]. In a flash a [[Kevish's Sorrowsworn|Sorrowsworn]] bursts through the window and punches Or in the chest with a massive fist. At the moment of impact, Or receives a vision: --- ![[Interesting.png]] Or awakens in a lavish palace. He is greeted by a man, with dark skin, long black hair, and burning red eyes. [[The Hot Collector|The Thought Collector]]. The Thought Collector commands him to turn around, and Or refuses. The Thought Collector uses [[Command]], compelling Or to turn, and he is unable to resist. Before Or lies a bloody mess on the ground, a corpse splattered into paste. The Thought Collector commands Or to turn and face him again. This is a warning. The Thought Collector bids Or to come and find him again. Or tells him to fuck off. --- Combat begins. The group struggles to keep Kevish safe as the Sorrowsworn crashes through the house, tearing apart the walls. Eventually, [[Ayula, Daughter of Goreclaw|Ayula]] and [[Jié ní]] are able to lock down the Sorrowsworn as the others pull Kevish away. Finally, [[Valdove]] uses [[Dimension Door]] to bring Kevish to relative safety. Sirina attemps to escape, but is caught by Valdove. After a brutal combat, the Sorrowsworn is slain by [[Haru Lightfang|Light]]. Combat ends. With everyone safe, the group questions Sirina. She reveals her plan: to bleed [[Skeingold Traders]] and flee to the east. She was originally planted in the family by The Crown. She purposefully divided the family to keep people distracted so that her cover would not be blown. She gives Lazhna [[Vasily's Journal]], which mentions [[Ketrine]] being discovered as a [[Changeling]], being taken away by the guards. The town was fearful because of the [[Changeling Incident in Gavony]] 15 years prior. Eventually, Ketrine fled. She is presumed to be alive. The party locks Sirina in the cellar and frees [[Brackus Whitefist]]. --- Ayula spontaneously flees into [[The Whispering Woods]], where she meets again with [[Torrie]], who offers to help the party reach [[The Feywilds]]. --- Fiska and Rezan have a private conversation where they reconcile, and Rezan shows appreciation and admiration that Fiska never stopped thinking about her family. He resolves to step up and take care of the family. That night, the group plans to send Sirina back to jail in [[Krashaprovos]]. Kevish eventually comes to, and Lazhna does her best to give him closure after Vasily's death. Ayula returns, and informs the group that they must meet with Torrie in [[The Feywoods]] in a few days time. The party rests. ## [[3 Eleasis 1458]], [[Gavony]] Or reads the Gavony Paper, which mentions the sales at [[Skeingold Traders]], reports on [[The Burning of Krashaprovos]], [[The Final Confrontation With Y'Driltha]], and [[The Aftermath of The Burning of Krashaprovos]], as well as articles on the missing persons in [[The Whispering Woods]]. Kevish awakens and hugs Fiska goodbye. Sirina is escorted away by guards to Krashaprovos. [[Or (Adventurer)|Or]] [[Sending|sends]] to [[Isaac Lestat]] to inform him of her capture. He is elated to hear it. Or takes some [[Gavony Wine|fancy wine]] from the cellar for the road. Fiska says her goodbyes to her family, and the group departs. Before leaving town, Fiska stops by a [[Kordov Booksellers]] and shares a sweet moment with her boyfriend, [[Dimitri Kordov|Mitya]]. Fiska apologizes for disappearing, telling Mitya that she couldn't bear to lead her enemies to him. She gives him a nice book that she found during her travels, they kiss, and she departs. The group begins their [[Journey to Astrazalian]].
