Daisy would investigate the site of Granny's explosion. If she finds the three gems and the staff, she will take them and carry with her to Daring.

I think for sake of argument (and because I think a few messages have separately been sent around), you have brought Nowhere back to Daring Heights because frankly you won't hold him anywhere else. However, before any of that, there's something else for you to consider as you all stand around with Nowhere's unconscious form. Loot. And Loot you all may find interesting. -The Longtooth Staff - Granny's twisted staff grants +2 AC whilst held and can have up to three small items orbiting around its head. -1 Potion of invisibility -1 Potion of Superior Healing (8d4+8) -1 Potion of Speed -A horn which casts Animate Dead 1/day -Keladry had amongst her personal arsenal a wooden light crossbow +1, which has the Enplacement ability, meaning it can be placed in a position and given a command to attack on a certain trigger, similar to the Alarm spell. -Amongst the many corpses around you quickly amass 7,000 gp worth of goods (583 each). Notably there are additionally three large rubies which orbited Granny's staff. Now that they are not spinning around, it is quite clear that they each have a small figure inside them. Two are the dried, dead husks of hags. Some of you will recognise them as the other members of the Longtooth Coven, Granny's sisters. The third contains the emaciated but still living Viscount Willum Daffles, Mayor of Daring.People inside them notwithstanding, those 3 gems are worth a further 1,000gp each. You cannot communicate with the tiny man in the gem, nor can you see any immediate way to break it. 'A great hero like myself requires great equipment, I'll be having this horn for me and this crossbow for my buddy Pim.' says Elrich and we wanders on drumming merrily. (If anyone else wants these then I'm certain Elrich will back down pretty easily) |

"Rholor, thank you for your help and I'm sure there's important business you need to attend to but we were trying to solve man's fate here. Although I too I would like to head back now. Indeed Dorian if you could get us all back, that would be great". Otherwise Giant Eagle flies away (carrying Taffeta). "It is less the fact that I have business to attend, more the fact that we're in a random location of the Feywild with my magic depleted. I can take us back if we find a place to camp and tend to Nowhere's wounds. His fate will be decided by the council I'm afraid. It is pointless to argue in the middle of a war-torn wasteland. You may submit your reports and opinions via the appropriate channels and the council will have that under consideration, for now, his fate is he goes back to Daring. UN-TOUCHED." |

Post by Malri 'Taffeta' Thistletop on Dec 12, 2018 16:24:28 GMT
Okay folks, I'm going to be out and about until probably after midnight so carry on without me. Basically Taffeta will be proceeding as follows:
- She'll try to stop anyone interfering with or waking Nowhere and she'll keep a close eye on him. He's under the effects of oil of taggit so if he takes damage he'll wake up. Her aim is to make sure he stays asleep until Grimes gets him to Daring.
- She isn't especially interested in loot but if anyone offers her the crossbow and / or any money she'll take it.
- If an hour passes while other people are looting, talking, &c. then she'll recover her 'detect portal' ability, which she'll use to find the direction and distance of the nearest planar portal within a thousand feet. If she finds one she'll inform the others.
- If that fails and if no one has any better method of getting back to town, she'll use her survival skills and knowledge of the feywild (she's been here quite a few times) to try to find the way back.
- Once the party are back in Daring and she's reasonably confident that Nowhere is secure and not going anywhere, she goes straight to the Watch House and insists on seeing the captain. She refuses to leave until she does. She insists on giving him a detailed statement of Nowhere's crimes, and urges him in the strongest possible terms to place Nowhere under house arrest and get Aurelia to put some kind of magical defence around his room to keep him under control pending trial.
- If anyone at any point seems to be doing anything that would interfere with Nowhere being brought to justice, she is prepared to fight them.

(She'll cooperate with Rholor to the extent that he seems to have largely the same plan, but she'll do so while talking to him as little as possible because she thinks he's being pompous and patronizing.)

Tugark is clearing the battlefield of what he can. Seeing Lady Sunday leave her Maul behind Tugark picks it up for safe keeping, wouldn't want something like that in the wrong hands.
He approaches Taffeta and Nowhere, lowers himself down on a knee, meeting Taffeta face to face.
"It is done. Short of banishing him yourself, there's little more to do here. You were brave to stand in the way of so many, to delay what we had come to do. Foolish perhaps, but brave. Nowhere is a friend, as are you. We might not see eye to eye here, but by the end of today, you've done well enough for all of Daring Heights. As for Nowhere's 'crimes' in this wild, lawless, frontier outside of Daring's walls, let's just say that I will stand as devil's advocate while he can't."
With that he builds a stretcher, and with Grimes help moves Nowhere on to it for transport.

Dorian glides down to the group and when touching the ground, his wings turn to ash and disappear.
"Now now, let's not do anything hasty...the immediate danger is gone. I'll take us back home."
Dorian takes out a piece of chalk and starts drawing a large circle, muttering in Draconic. He beckons everyone inside and with a flash, they're back in Daring heights.

**After Grimes before Rholor** Daisy rasises her eyebrow at Grimes. "Grimes, I hope you can deliver Nowhere to his room in Daring and trust you to report to Council as soon as possible." She looks over to the rest and points at Nowhere. "I know some of you care about this man. But he doesn't know right from wrong. He's become more powerful since I first met him. Power without moral boundary is very dangerous, it's unbalancing and damaging. This war was not necessary and who knows what would happen if we did not interfere. And what he did to Taffeta's family only proves that he is not in a good state of mind. He needs help. Otherwise exile. Forever from anywhere near Daring Heights. For what it's worth, this is what I will advise to the council as soon as I am back. and to my forest friends who care a great deal about lack of balance." **After Rholor** "Rholor, thank you for your help and I'm sure there's important business you need to attend to but we were trying to solve man's fate here. Although I too I would like to head back now. Indeed Dorian if you could get us all back, that would be great". Otherwise Giant Eagle flies away (carrying Taffeta). "For what it's worth, I echo these sentiments, as much as it pains me. When I first arrived in Daring, Nowhere was the one I was drawn to. Us Tieflings needed to stick together! Over time, our paths diverged and I don't recognise him anymore. The naivety and curiousity has gone, replaced by malice and hubris. We must protect Daring. Above all else. Nowhere has threatened it. He must leave." |

Post by Demik / Code on Dec 12, 2018 22:07:40 GMT
After a few minutes of silence, Demik takes his fingers from his hears and lifts his hat from his eyes.
Seeing the rest of the people close to Nowhere, he approaches. On the way there, he sees Granny's staff.
He picks it up, staring at it for a while.
"*squeak* *squeak*"
"I know Steve, it's quite the craftsmanship."
"*squeak*?"
"Dangerous? Possibly... But think of the possibilities!"
"*squeak* *squeak* *squeak*"
"What do you mean I "haven't learned anything about messing with things far beyond my control"?"
"*squeak*?"
"Of course I don't speak squirrel. But only Daisy knows that, so I want to see how long I can stretch the joke."
(If nobody else wants it, Demik will keep Granny's staff. Also, he would like to protect Nowhere as well, but not for some altruistic reason like Taffeta. Nowhere's power is quite impressive, so Demik would like to learn from him as much as possible.)

So it looks like everyone has done all the looting and disputing that they wanted to do before returning to DH, is that right?
And Dorian has magicked us all back to town, with Nowhere unconscious on a stretcher carried by Grimes and Tugark?
If so, I think the next question is where do they take him?

Elrich proudly announces the groups arrival back to Daring with another victorious fanfare and begins to play his drums for the March onwards.
After some time he begins to become aware of the tension within the group and eventually he says:
‘So, I know I don’t know nearly as much about what is going on here as anyone else, but maybe that’s a good thing, means I’m impartial and no threat to anyone, I don’t think anybody here wants a fight, we can take this guy Knowhere back to his room, I will watch him and if anything fishy happens I will make a whole lot of noise, I’m good at that! Meanwhile you guys can all talk to the council, what do you think?’
