After braving the Hidden Forest, the party rested in Shawna's hut for 10 days, recuperating from their wounds and basking in the small victory they had achieved. At the end of that time, they spoke with Tawna about where they were going, what they would do, etc.
Hearing that you all were going to pursue Junix the Kingmaker, she proposed a bargain: she could help speed the party on their way, but in return, the party would have to find another guardian to take over for the ailing Tawna. Everyone agreed and a bargain was struck. In exchange for the group's pledge, Tawna gave up an Elysium Stone. This stone, a flat, fist-sized, triangular stone had a spiral carved into one side of it. Tawna explained that the stone had the power to summon a portal into Faerie, the magical realm of the fey, where it would be possible to travel much more quickly than by walking the "real" world.
In addition to this, Tawna gave the group several tokens of Goodwill, an rusty old axe, a book detailing the life of Hurrukh the Invincible, a burlap bag full of Devilgrass, and something for Joseph Tiggerbottoms that I can't remember. And a Deck of Illusions.
At this point Joseph, annoyed with Tawna, berated her for not giving him a bow. She turned him into a frog.
Leonora, now hairless from her adventures in the Hidden Forest, tried to dispel the enchantment using magic. Everyone braced themselves.
While the spell didn't reverse the enchantment, it did cause JOseph to sprout wings, leaving him--at the moment--a winged bullfrog.
While the rest discussed the journey, Joseph slipped out to test his wings. He flew high, and spied a group of 3 men on horseback following the group's trail to Tawna's. He flew back and tried to warn them, but he was, alas, a frog, and could not speak.
When the others finally heard the approaching men, Leonora tried another spell. Luck prevailed again, and she summoned a Forcecage around the group.
Helpless in the cage, two of the men surrendered their gear while the leader of the group, a mountain of a man clad in full plate and armed with a warhammer, refused. Leif took this to mean he should throw rocks at him, which led to an unfortunate alignment shift and subsequent loss of cleric powers.
Equipped thus, the group proceeded south in search of a crossroad, where they could use their Elysium stone to enter Faerie. They made camp and rested after a few hours of travel, where they were beset by a gang of goblins. After fending them off, the group found a crossroad, used the stone, and entered Faerie.
Once in the twilight forest of Faerie, they walked until encountering a light blinking in the woods off the path. Leonora investigated and found the ruins of a castle, which the party began to explore. The session ended after discovering an abandoned chapel.
Okay, that's the official report. As last time, some details are omitted, because I'd like to get your characters' perspective on the session. Post in comments, please.
Some concerns:
1. Mike W, you are new to the group, so you may be unaware of my policy regarding evil PCs. Simply stated: nobody is allowed to be one. I'll give Pon Farr a short grace period wherein he will reform or leave the party. Also, do not lie about what your character is doing or why he is doing it. Although this happens without consequence, it is exceedingly annoying.
2. Mike B, you will have a chance to return to NG alignment next game.
3. Everyone: we may be switching game night to another day of the week. We'll discuss this at the beginning of next week's session. Right now I think the only contender is Wednesday.
That's it! Have a good week guys, I'll see you next Tuesday at 7.

Somehow I didn't realize how freakin' long this recap is. Sorry. I'll try to be less verbose next week.
Man, I missed everything. Flying bullfrogs, loss of spells, Leonore being useful... Homework sucks.
I'm personally in favor of keeping the game on Tuesday nights, but if another day works well I'll try and make do
Ah, I see. I did not know that, and just acted how I felt like. I must admit, when I am having a lot of fun, I tend to get drunk-like and not think clearly, and just act how I want (which tends to be nuetral to evil, since I do get tired of ALWAYS playing good characters in Videogames, etc. and I would like to experience the other side of the spectrum once in a while. >_<) For that, I apologize. I will act in accordance to the no-evil PC's thing, and try and restore my alignment.
Also, I apologize for the lying, it was uncalled for. I will not do it in the future. I will say that he originally did kill the cat for food, but then it stank to high heaven after Leonora, so I thought that the character wouldn't eat it then, since he knows meat that smells bad is rotten, so I discarded it. That is my reasoning for doing what I did. Again, will keep to one set of actions and not stray from them in the future.
Pon Farr thinks that we made some good time, but would like to get as far east as possible in Faerie so as to reach Junix as quickly as possible. He is itching to get back to the road in Faerie, but does not mind exploring the ruins for a bit. After being scolded by Leonora and Leaf, he plans on making a small burial for the cat and promises not to kill small defensless creatures for food, even though he may starve.
Actually, I'd forgotten about Leonora making it smell like horse poop. So, if you really only killed it for food, then that's not an evil act. Barbaric, but not evil. So, I'll go ahead and reverse the alignment change.
If you don't want to kill animals anymore, that's fine. If you still hunt cats for food or whatever, that's fine too.
I have an awesome idea... and a song to go along with it!
Lets just say, my Good Baron, that you were trying to get me to worship a goddess of magic or something, and it seems to me that my god of earth and protection abandoned me when I was exiled...
I don't think I would want to live for others (other than my party) since my community betrayed me and tried, twice now, to execute me and the other survivors of the Wayward House.
Who was it again you wanted me to worship? (I think from a Drag. Mag.?)
Leonore's Diary
Day 1
Dear Diary,
Hey me-from-the-future and anyone else who might have stolen this diary to read it for some reason! I found this diary under the bed in the room Tawna was letting us sleep in. She let me keep it and told me I could write all my "idiotic devil-grassed fueled rambilings" instead of talking to her. She's so awesome. It's nice staying here. I pretty much have just been smoking devilgrass and trying to get Panzoo to teach me how to photosynthesize (whatever that means). Tawna says If I got off the stuff than my magic wouldn't be so wacky (or "dangerous" as Pon Farr calls it). Come to think of it, my magic did start acting weird when I started smoking, but I don't care. I do what I want! :D
Day 2.
Woah! What a day! We decided to leave Tawna's today to go find that star-thingie that I totally forgot that we were after. I forget alot of things. Anyway, Tawna gave all of us a bunch of stuff including... A whole bag of devilgrass! Awesome! This will last me until I can teach Panzoo how to grow his own. Leif got a bunch of magic cards that make illusions which I really wanted so I kind of bitched about it. It was immature but... I still totally want them. I got a funny feeling about Leif. It's not like I ever saw him when I was at the home except when I would go get botanical books to read. He's nice though, and has been taking care of us but today he was a total troll to some men who I trapped in a big glowing cage. Oh yea! I trapped some guys in a glowing cage. So that happened.. um... Joseph got turned into a frog, which made him alot more adorable than he's ever been. I always was kinda off-put about Joseph. Everytime I'd see him in the home I'd be like 'Hey Joseph, how's it goin?" and he'd be all like "Blarrg! Death to Giants!' and I could never really tell if he was talking about me or actual giants since everyone was kind of a giant to him. Oh man, I wonder if giants have giants. They'd be like a super-giant to us. A giant giant. That's crazy. What was I writing about?
I dunno. We set up camp though, so me and Leif are taking the first shift. I better go though, I hear a pig in the bushes. I'm gonna make friends with it and totally not do anything bad to it like kill it for delicious food or make it a floating incorporeal ghost pig.
Day 3
*Written in barely readable script*
Hey diary. So guess what? That pig? I totally made him a floating incorporeal pig. God-dammit.
Anyway, We got attacked by a bunch of goblin's last night, but Lief scared them away and a bunch of bats bit me about the face.
Oh, and Pon killed a kitty! I acted like I was all made, but here's the thing: I fucking hate kittens. I act like I don't because I'm a druid and stuff, but those big heads freak me out. I don't trust kittens. Fucking kittens.
Anyway, I better go. Tawna gave us something that let us go into fairy-land or something. I can't remember why but it's really pretty here. It's hard to write while walking too.
P.S: Oh, and one of our group disappeared and we have no idea where he is and- Oh! Look! Pretty lights!
Note from Robin: Yea, kind of rambling and missing some parts but that's how Leonore would have written it, so.. yup.
Yay! lol @ Leonore's diary.
Mike: More to come...
:D
Such is the true remembering of Joseph Tiggerbottoms:
It all began when we got back from the woods and the crazy lady with all the baking soda in little baggies was like well done kiddies here is your reward then was all like you Joseph who did all the work retrieving the pipe get nothing, and I was like but all I want is a bow can’t you hook a brotha’ up. Then she was like NOOOO!!!! And the next thing I knew I had shrunk down to about 5 inches tall and had apparently been given some kind of awesome aura, except for some reason I couldn’t talk.
My buddy Robin was all like hoobooly hooooo and the next thing I knew I could fly around like a bird it was sooo cool I forgot all about the bow. But as usual I had to do everything. And since we knew danger was coming I went out and scouted ahead for the party. I also managed to liberate a large portion of wealth from our pursuers.
On my return I set up a trap for the scouts and with robin’s skills imprisoned them and made off with all their loot. Then I was like leading people places and taking care of business and then I found a steed and was riding around and it was like super fun. Then we were sleeping and I was afraid the big demon worshiping dwarf was going to try and tap my virgin dwarf buttox so I was all like being cautious when goblins attacked and this time, and really for the first time ever mike B helped up by scaring the goblins with a dragon illusion.
Then I was all like, time to skidadle kiddies so we went to the world of the fey where we had much cake and rejoicing. Good times were had by all as we decided to then take over the galaxy several times in fey world.
