# [[058_20220421 To Wrath goes the crown]] ## Session Summary > [!tldr] [[058_20220421 To Wrath goes the crown]] > You got Will and the kids of The Getaway Gang on the shores of Thither, and took several trips back to Hither via rain cloud balloon. When you got there, you showed Will the mirror that went from Bavlorna's Cottage back to the Witchlight Carnival. Gullop XIX, who looked to have taken over Bavlorna's Cottage as his own "castle", said that the password to use the mirror was _bandersnatch_, which you recognized as the word that the lornlings had been trying to recall. > > You left The Getaway Gang with the bullywugs and headed north to the Palace of Heart's Desire. Using the unicorn's horn, you were able to pierce the force field around it and get into the garden grounds in front of the castle. Most things were frozen, whether they were people or objects, but you did encounter some people in a pavilion that were not frozen. One of them, a young, robed woman from Rexxentrum, said that they were waiting for an audience from Zybilna and had not yet seen her. > > You encountered two towers that housed an iron lion named Envy and an iron hart named Wrath. Ora fetched a silver-needled crown from the bottom of a pond and put it on Wrath, who accepted it. The crown melded into his iron form and unlocked the big double door entrance to the castle itself, but the unlocking made a loud noise that drew the attention of some creatures: three shadowy shapes in armor and one in robes. > ^summary %% <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1DVnKlJRqxc" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> %% --- ## Housekeeping - Manuals must have been read, so everything read so far resets to 0. - Boris, and Lira? ## Recap ![[057_20220417 Half saved is better than nothing#^summary]] ## Strong start > You wake up to the gentle sounds of water lapping on a shore on this island in the middle of a lake. What you mistook for a rocky outcropping from the other side of the lake was only the outer rim of this island, and when the unicorns take you further in, you see it's actually a miniature forest. There are a few large trees whose leaves disappear into the mist that surrounds this island, but the space between them is soft earth and some sort of unnaturally green grass. Would you have slept out in the open? next to the Grim Accord? In Lira's Tiny Hut? ## Scenes - [x] [[Elidon]] allows the party to carefully cut off a bit of his horn. - [x] Travelling back to [[Hither]] on the rain balloon, with [[Will of the Feywild]] and [[The Getaway Gang]]. - [x] Returning to [[Bavlorna's Cottage]], which [[His Royal Majesty Gullop XIX]] is now using as his "castle".
