    010 – All Aboard

    There’s a whole lot of sheet involved here, and very little is understood. But that’s the feywild for you. Between a cat, a crabbit, and a big beetle, we might be able to get to the bottom of it… but probably not.

    009 – In The Air Tonight

    Can you feel it? The feywild remains as mysterious as ever, but there’s nothing that a snack and a cup of tea can’t fix! Unless the problem is a friend missing their skin and other members of your party wandering off alone. In that case, the party isn’t sure of the cure.

    The ground is purple, time is distance, and things might be getting back into order. At least for an inch (minute?). Until we learn about even bigger problems that are coming after the party and show no signs of stopping.

    006 – Are You My Mother?

    Nothing like a trip to the necromancer to really lighten the mood and lift the spirits… literally! Things don’t exactly go as planned when returning to Nick, but the party takes it all in stride.
