Burgess — Session 03 (May 21, 2022)

• Tracked the balloon down — it had come down on the side of a tower
• Tower surrounded by brambles; person in tower asked for help, said the pilot had died but they were stuck
• Snuck around the tower, but the door was behind two giant snakes
• Tried talking to snakes — not sentient; fought them
• Climbed the tower to retrieve person; turned out it was a faerie dragon
• Sir Talavar locked in a gilded, enchanted cage; could not pick the lock
  • Suggests we look for a collector of keys in the swamp
• Met mud mephits who demanded to know what their favorite food was
• Argued legalese with them to get out of it, but they still wanted to know
• We didn’t know the answer — it was mud pie
• Progressed further; talked to some animated trees who wanted us to turn back
  • Convinced them we didn’t mean any trouble
• Talked to a goblin covered with keys — said she had the keys
  • She’s been having problems with harengon brigands
  • Got a silver key from her
  • Suggested we avoid the brigand leader
• Trees on the way out gave us an iron key
• Found a geyser with trinkets on top, floating orbs around the geyser
  • Orbs own the trinkets
  • Water from geysers controls the rise and fall of the waters in the area
  • Hags somehow involved
  • Pointed us further in direction of brigands
• Brigand captain attacked us; knocked Sheema unconscious and captured them
  • Fighting on causeways
  • When he hit us it did fire damage and made us blind to him
  • Acesis also knocked unconscious but we could pull him from combat off the causeway
• Tried to sneak around and tossed a torch into a skiff
• Ended session there
