Burgess — Session 11 (November 5, 2022)

• Returned to the room we left off
• The darkling elder who I stole the mask from was staring at us
  • Seemed scared; rushed towards him and he ran away
  • Shouted that we would meet him in his lab
• Picked the lock to the lab; opened the cage where a goblin was held
  • Her name is Fig; the goblin that got turned into a mask was Binky
  • She didn’t want to make problems for “Bitter End” (Endelyn)
  • Bitter End’s scissors are how to re-attach shadows
  • Upstairs is the prison; to get there need the fool’s scepter (from Stagefright)
  • Charmay is a special guest of Endelyn — League of Something (we have met the League of Malevolence)
  • The darkling elder returned to guide us up to Endelyn
  • He took us upstairs where we saw a strange contraption
• Met with Endelyn
  • Tried to convince her the League of Malevolence was out to do her harm (rolled well)
  • Tried to convince her to let us put on a play (did not roll well — 10)
  • Tried to sing her a song from the “play” — botched (rolled a 1)
  • Asked if she would restore Hurley’s shadow to him as a favor for the play
  • She cut the shadow from Fig to show Acesis
• Explored the area; walked around the Orrery
• Found Trinket, Bauble, and Charm
  • Asked about sovereign glue but they didn’t know about it
• Found a metal contraption on the balcony upstairs
• Went north; found a desk with flying papers and a cage of animated folded paper birds
  • Climbed on the desk; the ceiling had boards that when moved showed a bell reading: “Toll the bell within this spire / To journey to your heart’s desire.”
  • Opened one letter: (Endelyn to Bavlorna about Skabitha’s forgetfulness and the unicorn horn)
  • Opened another letter: (Endelyn to Lord Kelek — invited the League of Malevolence to watch “The Agonies of Alagarthas”; Skylla has worn out her welcome)
  • Opened a third letter: (Endelyn to Skabitha — Charmay, Baba Yaga’s warlock spy, betrayed her companions; the League of Malevolence’s plots will not succeed)
  • Charmay is a warlock of Baba Yaga; the play is about the elf we met at the beacons
• Moved around the balcony to the remaining door
  • A spectral hand pushed me over the balcony onto the orrery — nearly died
  • Returned upstairs; Kizz saw a glyph protecting the door
• Left to go get either the cat or the horn; leveled up
• Went to get the cat
  • Kizz cast Divination: “hold breath, in cupboard”
  • Stealthed inside; grabbed a Lornling; grappled him
  • Captured the cat inside a cupboard — prismatic pattern incapacitated it
• Went to get the horn
  • Snuck past redcaps to the kitchen door
  • Tried to search the kitchen; Cradlefall the dragon woke up
  • Fought the dragon; managed to kill it
• Went to another room; found an eyeball, a clockwork toad, and a quill that makes its own ink

Called it an evening at that point.
