Rool — Session 15 (January 5, 2023)

Ufgunk’s Revolution & Yarspinner’s Web

Note: scan is dated “1/5/22” but context places this as January 2023.

• Returned to Slanty Tower. Saw Elmer and Jingle Jangle. Elmer turns back into a half-elf when he gets his thumbs back. Had a Scroll of Remove Curse.
• Jingle Jangle gave a eulogy for Morgort’s partner Wasylking [?]. It looks like Elmer, Jingle Jangle, and Morgort are going to become adventurers.
• Returned to the party to find Ufgunk as well.
• Downfall had a revolution. Bogonta died fighting against Bavlorna, who fled east on a flying lily pad. There was a battle royale. When Ufgunk appeared, they all fell to their knees. He instructed them to return to a simpler life of fishing and love, gave spiritual guidance, and burned the palace to smolders.
• Clapperclaw got his head back. He tells them the heart belongs to an elf under the toadstools.
• Found a stunned blue-skinned elf who emits loneliness — admits it is his heart. Used the Scroll of Remove Curse. The remaining heart [in the chest] was an old goat’s heart, and the elf recovered.
• Octavian Meta Morium — he came to Bavlorna to forget his lost [thing]. As payment he gave up his item — a pipe [?]. Talked about going to fix the inn and compose.
• Clapperclaw led them to Thither. The path had no visibility in the fog.
• Started to hear a deep melodious voice in the distance as the ground became more solid.
• Found themselves in a large open clearing surrounded by woods. Recognised the voice speaking Sylvan and telling a children’s story.
• Saw a large spider the size of a house. “Welcome to Tablerise — I’m Yarspinner,” said the spider.
• Yarspinner’s story: Kelek the sorcerer and Zardu the assassin — League of Malevolence agents — intended to come to Prismeer. Valoris’s call: Strongheart and his unicorn Steve. Valoris’s group was ambushed by the League. Zybilna appeared; archetypes joined the fight. But a trap had been set — the Hourglass Coven hags turned everyone frozen. The unicorn was able to appear and save them all. Lesson learned: he couldn’t do it alone.
• Had dreams while they slept. The ghostly form of Yarspinner appeared in the background of the dreams. But they forgot their names and each other’s names when they woke.
• Also forgot the names of pets but remembered the name Yarspinner.
• A small voice came from outside the cottage — a small fox.
• Chris renamed the party: Steve (Unicorn Knight, Alex), Busta Chimes (Satyr, Anthony). Rool’s name was still Rool.
• [Someone with rotting tusks?] will find their way to another. He suggests calling him “Nobody.” An orc suggests Yarspinner steals memories and names.
• Heading towards Tarn.
• Talked to the fox, who said it doesn’t seem likely [Yarspinner would be in Tarn] — he would be in his scriptorium.
• Headed to talk to him about what happened.
