I did Sendings to Piro, Music, and then Pearl. I spoke to Milla, and I asked her a bit about her family. She opened up about her brother, Andriel. I Sent to him, and he's alive! He said that he is in Palebank Village, where someone named Marjani is the leader. Milla seemed to know who that was, but didn't say how she knew him. She seemed overwhelmed by the fact that her brother was alive all along. > > We stepped into the teleportation circle, and Aygonath sent us to the Monastery of the Shadow Sorceress. I had Aleteana do reconnaissance, and then we snuck into an open window, but soon ran into a bunch of monks who were practicing! ^summary %% ## Video [Video with proper timestamps](https://youtu.be/tQwaqu3z7-U) [Video for TWC](https://youtu.be/pPprKCdBZV8) 00:00:00 Recap 00:03:52 Andy's wearing his uniform 00:07:34 Andy has a filthy mouth 00:07:42 Talking to Aygonath 00:16:00 Size matters for dragons 00:19:07 He likes to smell you a lot and Andy is a goldfish 00:35:26 Piro misses me 00:36:57 Music misses me too 00:37:25 Pearl doesn't miss me 00:41:14 Scura and Milla bond over languages 00:51:20 Milla might appreciate Tongues more than Wally did 00:53:28 Music and I aren't exclusive 00:53:42 Milla's family 01:01:09 Sending to Andriel 01:06:47 Andy thinks Scura's nosy 01:08:30 We step through the circle 01:11:06 Checking in with Lulu 01:15:22 The rope harness 01:17:08 Andy might as well roll for the old man 01:21:09 Distracted goldfish 01:23:01 Back from breakl 01:24:10 Aleteana does recon 01:35:29 Wally climbs up to the window 01:38:36 Andy watches Wally squirm 02:00:59 Roll for initiative 02:03:01 Laugh it up, fuzzball 02:04:12 Round 1 - Milla's turn (Sleet Storm) 02:09:23 Dax's turn (Grease) 02:11:13 Baddies' turn 02:12:22 Dice cage 02:18:36 Scura's turn (Spirit Guardians) 02:21:35 Xenia's turn (Leroy Jenkins, Earth Elemental) 02:35:13 Wally's turn (Escape) 02:36:25 Andy says I'm right 02:39:14 Asian flavour %% --- ## Recap ![[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/100_20230808 The highest-flying reach the sun#^summary]] --- ## Log [[Aygonath]] is bluish right now, but seems to change. ^d886a6 [[Aelinor Duskbloom|Aelinor]] is Milla's mum's name. The island has a tendency to move, so we might not find ourselves in the right place. They can give us the circle to [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Yussa Errenis|Yussa]]'s instead. We should do a Sending first though. They say that [[Pearl of the Beach|Pearl]] is an honorary dragon? but not a dragon. She's elvish. Somewhere in [[The Cyrios Mountains]] is where [[The Monastery of the Shadow Sorceress]] appears on a plane, not far from the city of [[Vol'antim]]. Demon oni and sorcerers and monks and acolytes will be in the monastery. There will be a chamber deep down where the spirit of [[Vespin Chloras]] is held on another plane. This is where we may expect some kind of ceremony or magical force that we'll have to find our way through. They give Xenia a clay tablet, about 8' long, 4' wide, 0.5' thick. It's a teleportation tablet. It can only be used once and it contains the sigil for Yussa's tower. Andy says we have time to have a long rest. He said it's 4 Duscar, so we must have lost a day somewhere while we were in [[The Divine Trials]]? #sending to [[Piro]]: > [[Music]] is on her way there with friends. Worried they won't make it. Can you help? I miss you, a lot.` ^eeb7b4 His response: > They are welcome here. We can make space and help when they arrive. But cannot leave back into danger. Miss you too. ^ebe9bf #sending to [[Music]]: > Sorry about the roc earlier. Long story. Avoid [[Mount Mentiri]] if you can. Are you safe? ^38dbde Her response: > We are on the downward slope, far away from [[Mount Mentiri]]. Journey has been challenging. Miss you. ^a4dfdf #sending to [[Pearl of the Beach|Pearl]]: > Dax says can you take care of [[3B]]? And [[Arcos]]? Can you find me a pearl for when we come back? ^39e954 Her response: > Arcos happy. Napping. Metal bunny is funny. It can stay here. ^00f01f I give Milla a book on how to speak Elvish and cast *Tongues* on her. Her mother used to speak it with Milla's brother so that she wouldn't understand. Mother is half elven. She's a little afraid of what she'll find when she gets back to the Feywild. She doesn't really have a relationship with her father. She is a bit curious, but she's also scared of the answer. What's the deal with you and Wally? She's not sure. [[Andriel Duskbloom]]. They were very close to Milla, but not super old. Older than Milla by a few years. His father was married to Aelinor for over a decade. He (his father) died. Dark hair. He had a white streak in the front that was starting to show up. Blue eyes. Class: ranger. Description of what he looks like. #sending to Andriel: > This is Milla's friend. Where are you? She misses you. She loves you. How are you? Answer in 25 words or less. ^0ccc40 From him: > Milla is alive? I'm so happy. I'm in the Frozen North. Searching for Father. Send her much love. Tell her [[Marjani]] is now the leader of [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Palebank Village|Palebank]]. ^31168c Marjani is "someone who used to be important" to Milla. He's totally an ex. We step into the teleportation circle. We see [[Ruidus]]. We see a plateau and steps. We get up to the plateau. We see a monastery with red lanterns. There seems to be an entry or gatehouse. We're coming up from the western side. We're further north than Zadash, but in the Cyrios Mountains. I use *Wild Companion* to summon Aleteana. There are fairly high up windows. There's a red torchlight glow from inside some of them. There's a tower in the northwest and an open courtyard. There's a black disk, like a pit. We go into one of the windows, which is about 40 feet high. There's a part of the Wally gets Spider Climb from Dax. He sees a narrow, high room. There are demonic statues. Milla *Misty Steps* inside and the statue of something with demonic claws on that section has its eyes glow red. Charisma save! I leave [[Aleteana]] watching the western entrance (courtyard). Dax unlocked the northeastern door. There are five cages and a large sculpture of a demon. Dax fails a save and ends up in one of the cages. There are several monks training. ![[1692131463089 - Combat]]
