Session Date: Session Date 12/23/2009


Game Date: August 4 to August 2 (read to find out why)

Current circumstances

The group is facing the following circumstances. a day
They must make it to Noldair to make reparations to the captain.
They would like to take out the Orchish stronghold in the Whitelands.
They have 6 weeks to make it to Noldair.

While still in Serin, the group buys an ion stone of Non-Breathing, making teleports easier since Rondax can hide in the bag of holding using the ion stone.

Teleports gone awry

The group attempts to teleport to the faerie grove. They hit their mark, but miss is completely by appearing on the faerie side where colors are more vibrant and the leaves possess a silver-tinge. Tyke decides to attempt a second teleport which pushes the group further underground, this time in the Unseelie Court. The sky is blue-black, the land is uninhabited and covered with skeletal trees. Rondas asks: Why are you not a good mage.

The Unseelie Court is comprised of winter faeries who relish in chaos. They are led by the Queen of Enchant Darkness.

The group is approached by a spindly tree creature who claims ownership over the group. Rondax quickly claims that he already owns the group. Spindly figures there is no contact between Rondax and the group and wants witnesses for the contract dispute.

The Bargain

Bono, using his Cloak of Charisma, bargains for a way home.

Prentice would lose his freedom for 7 days.
Sol would grant mercy to one target of Spindly's choosing.
Rondax proxy by JL who would kiss Spindly's daughter.
Bono would lose the use of his Earthgift.
JL would lose some of his knowledge.
Tyke ???

Or Trial by Swords which entails 6 champions + the kiss for Spindly's daughter (price for Herman).
Whoever falls remains in Fae.
1 Favor owed by the group to Spindly on Mortal World. This favor can not force any one in the group to break a vow, can not include tasks the group can not accomplish, can not force the group to harm one another. Spindly must present 3 options at once, and the group must accept one of those options. The group should have one month to prepare.
