# [[048_20220116 Caleb the Galeb Duhr]] ## Session Summary You had just entered [[Downfall]], the city of the bullywugs where the hag of [[Hither]] resides. The bullywugs you met seemed a little dull, but not unfriendly, and some of them suggested you meet with their king. Boris briefly steered his rowboat towards the center of the foggy swamp, where you later learned that [[Bavlorna Blightstraw|Bavlorna]] lives. You went past two bullywugs repairing a balloon that looked to be of similar construction to the one that [[Sir Talavar]] crashed in. You went across the stones to the northern bank of the settlement, and Boris accidentally stepped on a Galeb Duhr called Caleb who was initially upset, but calmed down when Boris apologized. You continued past a balloon factory that was still on fire, with animated coals that had been put there by arsonists, according to the bullywug there, who called himself Duke Ickrind. Grateful for your help, he gave you a brooch with fluttering insect wings, which he said was a token to present to the king, [[His Royal Majesty Gullop XIX]]. You went across a wooden bridge, where there were heads of previously deposed or murdered bullywug monarchs, who were eager to talk about the circumstances of their death and gossip about when Gullop XIX would be next. You also met a scarecrow with a gourd head named [[Clapperclaw]], who said that he missed his stag head, and was thrilled when Boris gave him [[Agdon Longscarf]]'s severed head. He offered to be a pilot, should you acquire a balloon to take you to Thither, since he was from Thither. You continued across the bridge to where you had been told [[His Royal Majesty Gullop XIX]] could be found. ^summary --- %% <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/usz1wwo7CbI" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> %% ## Housekeeping - Purified Phoenix Tear and Gorgon Scale Armor have been added to D&D Beyond. - Psychic Whispers is still up for 5 more hours. - It's about 12:00, so Psychic Whispers will be up until 17:00 ## Recap - Asked [[Heymat Sol]] about the flying carpets in [[ttrpgs/The Slayers Five/Port Damali]], and he mentioned they were from [[Pride's Call]] - He said he could enchant the carpets, but specific [[Pride's Call silk]] to make the carpets was a closely-guarded secret and in short supply - On your way to Pride's Call to find out the secret (and maybe get some silk for a carpet), you encountered the Witchlight Carnival - You met [[Kettlesteam]] and [[Topplepot]], both of whom had been tracking the Carnival. - Kettlesteam's powers stemmed from an archfey [[Zybilna]], who had gone quiet - Topplepot's (Diesa's) family legacy depended on her knowing what to do, but her father wouldn't tell her what it was. - You got Mr Witch and Mr Light to tell you how to get to Prismeer through the Hall of Illusions. They, too, seemed not entirely on the side of the hags in Prismeer, but they were on some sort of contract. ![[047_20220109 The Brigand Prince of Prismeer#^summary]] ## Strong start > - What are you taking with you before you leave?
