An Errand in Barovia

15 Kythorn 1492

A young eld wizard’s apprentice from Blackstaff collect Pessius, Zanalor, and Froderick. Jem uses her scroll of plane shift to get you to Barovia. She’s very excited.

“I’ve been told to tell you this isn’t for sightseeing. In and out. Get your friend back home. Then again, I can’t wait to see what its like! A whole other plane and you were actually there…” “Is that where you two met? …” “Did you get married there?” “Are the boys cute…”

• The party meets up with Nuitt and enter into a fray between a giant who had interrupted a sabretooth/elk hunt
• Pessius gleaned that the giant was quite out of place. Fomorians were exiled long ago from the Feywild and have been lurking in the Shadowfell and almost never seen. The giant seemed to concur, jabbering about his recent eviction or expulsion and perhaps other helpful info that only Jem could understand but
• Jem quickly gets sabretoothed in the head
• Nuitt got cursed by the evil giant with deformities (ending the next day).
• First entry of the Trex. Somebody should name her.

Pessius recovers the remaining scroll of Plane Shift and stretches her powers to try to get you home, casting the highest-level spell she’s ever attempted. She is about to fail, but an encouraging work from Zanalor gives her the last minute inspiration she needs and the party is at the entrance to Castle Waterdeep.

You may be happy to know that the Fates, on that very morning, were excited at the prospect of a battle high above the earth. A promontory skirmish where adventures had to content with a great swinging club, massive thrown boulders and a giant elk who could ram… so many ways to get knocked skyward and over the edge. However, the fates then discovered that the club and the elk can’t really push anyone…
