Ran into an anthropomorphized dandelion, a bee the size of an orange, and an elf who drew weapons
Dandelion said “She’s mine” — helping her escape to return to her sister
Dandelion is Amidor; bee is Polinella; the elf is Gleam
Several warring factions:
To the east: briganocks, who are miners
To the west: korreds, known for their wiry hair
An elf prince who came to visit from his land, near a big lake to the north
Heading north towards the elf; ran into goblins known as the Dead Ringers
Traded scatterleaf tea for 3 questions
“How do we rescue the elf’s sister from the hag?” — “Play to her passions. Stay on script. A cat, a horn, or a shadow ripped.”
“How do we stop the creatures harassing the elf?” — “The creatures of the air were transformed players from afar. Play to their passions and they may desist.”
“About the creatures with the wiry hair?” — “Those of stony hair are the most truthful all around. Stick with them and they will help you for what to be found.”
First night: a fire lit atop a pillar, but nothing else; travelled another day and reached a lake
Eight columns of rock around the lake; eight winged beats circle a figure in a boat; he went to the top of a pillar, lit a flame — the winged beasts put it out when he left
Told the elf we meant no harm; he rowed towards us
Alagarthus, from the Forest of Cormanthor
Unable to fend off a green dragon; a hag’s shadow coaxed him to this realm
Endelyn showed him a future where he survived the dragon, but the deal didn’t include a path home
The lake is a portal; to activate it he needs to light all eight beacons
The peryton were members of a group of performers, the ___ Mummers
Put on a play for the perytons, who allowed the elf to light a beacon
Lake opened after 8 hours; let him return to Cormanthor
After leaving, followed by shadowy figures that look like goblins
Stared at them, waited, and they eventually “joined us”
Came upon a small girl flying a kite with a horrible face
She cannot stop flying the kite or a curse triggers
Curse comes from the five blue bows on the string
The kite is blown about by the wind, connected to the girl’s mood
The two shadows that followed us were her parents’ shadows; Endelyn removed them as punishment
Talked to the girl, convinced her we would help; wind died down; untied the bow from the kite
Came upon a game board and a dying fire
Made the one move to win the game
Offered a stone of good luck and a star sapphire as gifts
Argantle of the Shale and Jagu of the Chalk — went into hiding when we arrived
In a feud with the brigganocks, who help Creeping Lyn build wicked contraptions
Danced the night away with the korreds
Went towards the brigand camp
Swept up in a tornado; lost a dagger; ended up on top of a beacon
Got to the mine; statues outside; sounds of hundreds of pickaxes
Fell asleep in the mine; woke up tied down like Gulliver
Human in their midst named Molliver
They thought the korreds worked for Creeping Lyn as well
Convinced Molliver the korreds weren’t working with her either
He had us untied and escorted us through an illusionary wall
Came to a bridge with three flaming skulls; attacked until we rushed past
Into a grotto — a piebald pony with a hut on its back, laughter from inside
A tiny old brigganock named Keg welcomed us
They make the wish stones; two of our wishes are here
A brigganock with a wheelbarrow brought out two glowing stones
