It All Started With A Note
"Adventurers bold,
We request you assistance in a matter of import for the Court of Queen Nicnevin, the Mountain Queen. Pray, come to our court that you may meet our envoy Vayne, escort her to her destination, and fulfil some sundry tasks alongside.
We await your arrival with anticipation,
The Coven of the Severed Tail"
The Mission
Celina gets contacted by young woman with vibrant red hair, in her late teens, to help with an important quest. Here she is handed a note, which Celina reads thoroughly. Celina forms a team and they assemble at Fort Ettin. There they are informed that this mystery person's name is Jenna. Her request is simple, to escort a lady by the name of Vayne to somewhere and help with a couple of side tasks along the way. They would be rewarded well for their efforts. Jenna does a magic spell to open a portal and before they know it, the team arrive at an entrance of big mountain in the “Feywild”.
Jenna leads the way expertly through the caves in this big mountain and they encounter peculiar sites, such as duplicate guards and rooms with no lights. Entering one of these rooms with no lights, Celina’s dark vision kicks in and she can see 3 people standing around a cauldron. These appear to be old hags. In an instant, they turn around and a light comes on from the cauldron. One of these hags steps forward and introduces herself as Ambassador Vayne Songbird. She needs an escort through the desert court and wants the team to do an extra job along the way. This is where the real money lies. There were rumours of a spy in place in the desert court and she wanted the team to look into this. Word on the street was that this spy was potentially working for the summer court. Nothing this team couldn’t handle. Celina negotiates in her professional way to get more money for the jobs in question. The hags impressed with Celina's skills agree and a deal was struck. Ambassador Songbird then brings everyone to the cauldron, casts a spell forming a strange new gate. The team all step through the gate and were then off to further mysterious places.
As they walk through the gate portal, they are greeted with colourful sand. Green, yellow, purple sand. Every colour, everywhere your eye could see. After a quick investigation Ambassador Songbird finds a specific location tells the magic area where they needed to go and a magical box shoots out of the ground. They all stand on this box and immediately plummet down to the depths of this wonderous sand pit at an alarming rapid pace. When the box finally arrives at the bottom the team can see that there's a whole underground cave carved out. With sand furniture in places and houses popping up out of nowhere. As they are being led through the desert area, the team also learn more about Queen Nicnevin, how she is a master negotiator. How her price is never paid-up front. Celina couldn’t be happier to learn of such a person. She would love to find out more about this person, but should would save that for another time. The team are led into a chamber where there is a mysterious sand creature, referred to as “The Spirit Sands”. And then quickly after their target was pointed out. Terali, she was an elven woman dressed in a gown with floral pattern. She was known to everyone as the local gardener. This was who they were after. The team and Ambassador Songbird huddled in a private room to discuss the plan.
The team realised that not everyone in the group was stealthy enough to go gather information as discreetly as others. They brainstormed ideas and quickly came to the conclusion that the best course of action would be to break into two smaller groups. One group were to be team wrestle (this was to be the distraction part) and one group to be team stealth (the important part of this mission). Next on the agenda was to figure out where Terali’s room was in this place. This was quickly discovered and all came down to the luck of one Barbarian, called Toothy and his way with lizards. Toothy talked to a lizard outside of the private room and it was revealed that the lizard knew exactly where Terali was staying, it was a room with a purple door on the floor below this one. With that part figured out the two teams were off.
The Plan in Action
Team Wrestle consisted of Toothy (the barbarian), Ivan (the barbarian) and Felix (the bard). They were to cause a scene. The plan was to put on a wrestling fight, so everyone in the desert court would be distracted enough that team stealth could go in and investigate Terali’s private room. Toothy and Ivan were to wrestle and Felix was to host this event and keep the crowd entertained. Ambassador Songbird joined in on the actioned and mentioned she would rally the crowd with some gambling action in the background.
Team Stealth consisted of Celina (the rogue), Sparks-in-Shades (the sorcerer/warlock) and Cyclone (the monk). Their plan was to make sure Terali was out of sight, so they could break into her room and investigate it. Celina with her amazing abilities would turn into Terali, so no one would be any wiser. Then the team would investigate her room and report back to the group and Ambassador Songbird on anything they learned.
And off went the two group with their plans.
Team Wrestle had absolutely no issues with their plan and Toothy and Ivan really went to town fighting each other. Toothy got a lot of good swings in and held strong for as long as he could, however Ivan in the last round managed to take the win. Felix played his music gloriously for the crowd and really rallied the crowd narrating every part of the fight.
While the event for team wrestle was happening, team stealth did not have the same luck straight-off. For sure enough, as soon as they left the first corridor they came across their first hurdle. Celina managed to flawlessly sneak down the hallway without a trace. However both Sparks-In-Shades and Cyclone were immediately spotted by civilians and ended up having to abandon the plan for the time being. Celina had to journey on her own. She casted her spell to look like Terali and ventured off to continue the plan. Celina was not afraid, as she was skilled at getting in anywhere. With her lock-picking skills ready she managed to sneak her way into Terali’s house and busted that lock flawlessly. Celina went and investigated the room however she came to a dead end. After a quick lie from Cyclone and Sparks-In-Shades, they quickly managed to escape the civilians and get back on track with the plan. They arrived to Terali's house. Sparks-In-Shades immediately found a secret area in the room which was locked. Celina put her trusty lock-pick skills in action again and soon enough the open was cracked and they were in. They had to solve a quick riddle and once they completed that they were in and explored the room. Books and drawing covered this hidden room. All the books were to do with illusion magic and appeared to be well worn. All the drawing were of the “Spirit Sand”. The team pocked the evidence and headed back on their way to reveal all to the team.
The Big Conclusion
After the team gathered again in their private room with Ambassador Songbird, team stealth showed their investigation find. Ambassador Songbird was pretty confident she was correct in thinking Terali was up to something and with this new found evidence she brought the team to confront Terali straight-on. Ambassador Songbird marched over to her house and dropped all the evidence on the table in front of Terali. She demanded Terali to fess up. After a few minutes of denying and Ambassador Songbird being relentless, Terali caved and admitted to her deception. She had been acting as the mysterious “Spirit Sand”. Ambassador Songbird striked a deal with Terali, that she wouldn’t mention her secret if she agreed to have the desert courts stand with the witching courts in time to come. Cyclone managed to find Terali's magical staff and made a point to Terali, that if she didn't have any need for her magical staff and wanted it gone that our team would gladly take it off her hands. Terali agreed and allowed the team to take her staff. The following day the “Spirit Sand” did a public spectacle mentioning their loyalty to the witching courts. The team head back out of the desert courts and back to Ambassador Songbird’s place for payment. Ambassador Songbird paid the team as promised, along with special magical items to a special few.
Overall all these people by inclusion complete the OCEAN’S SIX! When the day came, it was nothing but a complete stroll in the park for this superb team. And the only question left now is to wonder what will their next adventure be?
