[Holborn] The shining pond / [Greenwich] Hope in the trees

This is a place-holder for a collab. write-up that Daisy and I are hopefully going to do soon, which will narrate what happened in 'The shining pond' (the three-session adventure that ran 2 to 16 October at at Holborn) and 'Hope in the trees' (the one-shot of 10 October at Greenwich).  The purpose of the place-holder is just to get the basic facts down so that people know them in preparation for future happenings.

The basic facts are:

• Barracuda McFist, Grimes, the Chronicler, Zeenah, Lady Sunday, Crow Rustle, and Taffeta took up the task of investigating a sighting of elves in the western mountains.
• They found a community of elves (they or their town were called Gallavir (sp?)) which had been there for thousands of years.
• The elves had a magic lake that sustained them and gave them water-themed powers, and they believed their souls went into the lake when they died.
• They asked for help investigating a cave near by that they suddenly couldn't go into any more.
• The cave turned out to be housing a night-hag called Mistress Underbed who works with / for Granny and was there to investigate the elves and their lake in case Granny could make use of them / it.
• She'd discovered that a marid was diverting the elves' souls from reaching Arvandor and trapping them for his own amusement.
  
• Having discovered this, she was leaving, because Granny wasn't interested in going up against a very powerful marid at this stage of her plans.
• Some of Our Heroes made some deals with Mistress Underbed because that's how hags roll.
  
• Our Heroes then thwarted the marid's scheme and earned the gratitude of the elves, who also agreed to establish diplomatic and trading relations with Daring Heights.
  
• Taffeta went from the mountains to Port Ffirst, having heard a rumour that Nowhere (who she was looking for) had been seen there.
• By coincidence, Daisy was also in Port Ffirst on her way north to have diplomatic talks on behalf of the Daring Heights council with the king of the bear folk.
• The two of them met in a tavern along with some Port Ffirst adventurers named Paw, Erevan (sp?), Ghesh, and Crumblesnout.
• Daisy asked the others to help her check on one of the guardians of the north-west forest, who had gone off the radar.
• They did so, and ended up rescuing the guardian from some bullywugs.

Watch this space for a fuller and hopefully more entertaining version of all that when we have time to make it happen!
