Travelling up through the Third Tier to gatecrash the audience being held by the Royals, Cranzalar, Vi, and Uzi got a little lost in the woods after being sidetracked by the appearance of a mysteriously glowing white stag.
Following it, Vi found a sword planted in the earth with a crossguard like antlers. It can change its shape between a blade and a cane.
After an encounter with some giant venomous spiders – in which Cranzalar almost died – the three found they’d been pulled into some other pocket dimension, with dead and dying trees stretching out in all directions.
After a time they found a circle of Druidic types preparing for something called the ‘Green Sun’s Zenith’, a sacred event that would provide all the sustenance they’d need. The circle was led by a man named Castor Bean, who was very very interested in Vi and her connection to the Feywild.
Through smart investigation and interrogation of a Firbolg named Foxglove, the party discovered the truth of things – that Castor had sucked the life from this forest after sequestering the circle away from the rest of Floodwall, and was preparing to use the Green Sun’s Zenith to somehow revitalise the place. Until, of course, Vi arrived: his ticket out and into the Feywild.
Castor Bean had to be stopped, so after a small altercation with a druid aspirant which was solved by Firuzeh drawing upon the examples of poise and gravitas learned from Vi (and her own Tiefling regality), the three tracked him down mid-ritual. Cranzalar put an end to him with an incredibly powerful Inflict Wounds spell which even spread to the spores Castor had created, freeing the would-be-druids from their fate as fungal fertiliser.
Vi used the now-unbound Green Sun’s power to tear open a portal back to Floodwall, and the party emerged close to the gate onto the Fourth Tier…
