Floodwall Sessions 19-20: The Feywild, or, The Plane of Life, or, the Gang Fucks Up and Releases an Ancient Evil

BAD RECAP BECAUSE THE DM FORGOT TO DO IT RIGHT AWAY

Went to feywild – find dragonborn hatchlings, find a way to cure Edsel (Vi bro)

Upon arrivng and meeting with Granny Hestia, Vi’s druid teacher, they found that Edsel’s weird link to the Kraken was preventing the healing working on him. They’d need to figure things out with the source of hat.

That meant heading to the ocean. Brief Eladrin diversion. Uzi’s birthday.

Upon arriving, Cranzalar saw a tower in the distance: another floodwall.

They learned here was one of these towers in each known plane, and that theirs was the plane of water.

They decided they needed to investigate the tower and what was within, but before she left, Vi showed mask to Hestia. Hestia was like ‘guess you’ll die’

Cranzalar communed with Eadro to ask for answers – what is the tower? What is the Kraken? What is the weaver?

Learned that the tower was built to seal something. That there’s no such entity as the ‘kraken’. And that the Weaver is only present at turning points in history, stealing vessels and taking over.

They went to the tower, and found where Edsel had stashed the hatchlings.

Then they went to the bottom, and found a tiefling woman -Diafani – wrestling ssome weird shadow creature, pinned down by the tower’s centre spire.

It escaped, in the form of a weird little spider.

Diafani was quite unhappy, and said ‘gotta hunt that shit’. She told everyone about Tieflings having slivers of Aurifar’s power, and that they were supposed to pass them down. That it was her burden to be the immortal watcher of the towers, and the parts of the thing that they sealed.

That she planned to go to Floodwall and ensure the shards of Aurifar were properly inherited (via murder of Royals)

The shadowy thing’s escape broke its connection with Edsel, who seemed to have recovered. He told them of the books he’d been reading that led him to the creature – that when the planes were all one it helped bind them together.

That Aurifar split the planes and himself in the process, passing his power to the tieflings and pinning the thing beneath towers. He wanted the royals to protect the towers, but it ended up that only Diafani was keeping up her emd of the bargain. The rest were chilling on Floodwall.
