A bit late, but here is the sunday Dungeons & Dragons adventure. We left of in a small room where our temporary leader wanted to jump the emperor and take his sword away. We persuaded him not to, but he didn't like it, so he decided to not like them that much. So me and the dragonborn had to step up as the negotiators of the party. The wizard we looked for had been absorbed by the wife of the emperor to survive after being attacked by some monster. The emperor would agree to release the wizard IF we would do him a favor. To save his adopted-sister from some dryads. We agreed since we hadn't any option. Our wizard was to weak to do it and killing the wife in hope of releasing the wizard was dangerous for us. So we agreed. Next up was the meeting with the wife. Being the silver-tongued elf I am, I... well, "am very polite". We all get some gifts (maybe not the battle-minder, I can't remember, but his attitude as temporary leader probably didn't help), feeling like when the Fellowship left Lothlórien. What did I get? A never-ending quiver of +1 fire damage arrows. Hell yeah, now I'm playing with fire.
So no worrying about arrows again... except when I'm on a stealth mission in the dark (since they have a small glow at the arrow tip)... or when it's flammable material nearby... or the creature is immune to fire... or I get something better. We gear up and head for the cave of the dryads. At the entrance we see roots falling down all around. I take a look and sure enough, the entrance floor is filled with bear traps. I rearrange them so that we have a straight line of escape, but those who put them there would be severely confused. We head in and find a "room" (more like a larger area) with several barbarians caught in vines. Uthgardian barbarians by the way. Damn, those barbarians seems to be everywhere, even in the Feywild. We release them and they tell us they were caught by the dryads and that they are down the tunnel. I checked the entrance and yet again, another set of traps. The wizard and I then had a small contest of disarming those traps the fastest. The wizard won they said. Damn.
Then we hear it, the cackling laughter from the tunnel. The cackling of a hag. Shapes is seen in the dark. Some of us see these shapes on the walls behind the vines. I fail my roll, even with 14 to perception. So I don't see them. Then it begins. Surrounded by the dryads they attack. Five of them. When my turn appears I focus on the nearest and fires away. The first flight of arrows hit and set the dryad on fire... the seconded begins to set the vines on fire. The vines that goes into the tunnel were the hostage is... oops! A bit more urgency on our fight. We battle on, three of the dryads burn while we hack away at them. I stand toe to toe with my prey who burns in agony so it just shrieks while I fire volley after volley of arrows at it, setting the flames higher and higher HAHAHA YES, BURN BABY BURN HAHAHA!... *ahem*
They are all killed, quickly the wizard cut away the fire from spreading into the tunnel while our barbarian talks with her fellow barbarians who killed a couple of wolfs during the dryad battle. Kept our backs free so to speak. The conversation ends with them calling her back to their tribe, meaning that she has to leave us. Our big meat cleaver/shield that has killed many of our enemies, a sad moment for all. As a last thing together we all rushed into the tunnel where the laughing hag. Arrows flew and the other rushed her with swords and axes and then ending it with some magic missiles. The hag flew into the wall, stone cold death. Her room had a bed, a table and a chest. The dragonborn opened the chest and found around a 1000 gold pieces. He tried to lie about it since his greed is huge, but since I keep an eye on him. Ever so suspicious. It's nice with a servant that has to follow your orders through magic. The others look at the table were a birdcage is situated. The dragonborn picks it up and starts shaking it at the little pixie inside. The battle-minder takes it from him and opens up the door and asks about where the step-daughter of the emperor is, sorry, I mean adoptive daughter. Turns out this pixie is the one (who will be played by the former barbarian player).
We bring her home to her father... I mean brother and she persuade him to let her go with us. The ritual for separating the wizard and wife was complete. The bard wanted to know a special song to aid us in our adventure and to his help an eladrin elf comes out. Turns out it's the dragonborns brother. Mystery tightens around this character. Which reminds me, I need to return the book I got from the old man in the tower. Anyway, they talk and the brother scorns at the dragonborn for being cursed and blames his doings and had to face the consequences. After all that we leaved and entered the portal we came from and the wizard closed it behind us. We had now left the feywild and we once again found us in the dark with drows and mind-flyers roaming the caverns. Let us bring... FIRE!!!
