Session 35

Recap

While Beet was shitting herself with swamp fever, Ivy carried out a heist for the Portrait of Yass with the help of Ellywick and Fin, framing Brine for the robbery. Fin gave Yassandra a telling off when she said the loss of her portrait was worse than the loss of her child, and this genuinely got to Yassandra and caused her to self reflect.

Session 35 - 21.8.2025

We have just arrived in Candlegore Teeth, on a mighty mountain bluff. There is blue electricity in the clouds, striking towards the main mountain. Before us, down a sheer cliff face is a colourful 2 story building.

Beet tries on our looted necklace - is left with 8 eyes, even when she takes it off.

We read the book and it talks about a phylactery

you can store life in a portrait
a fragment of the truest self is embedded in the painting
The True Name?
means Yassandra can't be harmed until Portrait of Yass is destroyed

Ivy easily made her way down the 30f sheer cliff

she meets 2 people outside the pub and makes a bet that Beet cannot fall
winner recieves: 2 drinks + 20 gold from loser
the Elf (Oman) curses Beet to fall winning the bet (the underhanded bastard!)

Inside The Treasure Trail

drinks selection: Snowball Slurper (for Oman) and Paulderbergean Bitter (Saladar)
meet the bartender Greeves
Squirt - a tiny oil lamp? (no idea what this was about???)
paid in a skill
Ivy did a trick with Gilbert - nat 20 roll, got 3 drinks

Our Aliases:
Stacey Fakename
Finney
Susan Witchwand
Lady Horne

Met a lady satyr that seemed lovely (Apricot Staseely)

we sit with her

Aunty starts performing

butterflies + flowers everywhere
performing to massive cheers
spots us + winks
she sings a freedom and revolutionary song - never let it be that you are seen as too much

She comes to our table and immediately busts us as having given fake names

Aunty - "Rosemary smells good enough to fuck her... I mean tuck her"

^ origin of the NONCE allegations

The Nimblesong replacement clone steps up to perform '3 favourite brothers'

this is one of the Ellywick clones that Podric seems to have created
has had poor cosmetic work done to increase the similarity
able to sort of think for herself
knows: banished from home, has 3 brothers, likes pranks
however sometimes gives contradictory answers
Ellywick kicks off and shoves her off the stage - performs instead! (Another one bites the dust)

We argued with Aunty but may have secured a dinner at her castle (Motherhorn Castle)

she will let us come if we bring her a unicorn horn

She told us there is a unicorn called Uni who

lives in the Cavern of the Purple Crystal
Exerts goodness, raises the beautiful and children
Can grant a wish

Can take one of 2 routes:

The Catwalk - 20 minutes
The Hollowed Hole - 2 hours`

Can see ahead there is a large mountain taller than the rest

castle on top - Motherhorn Castle
open air amphitheatre - Skystage
1 taller tower than the rest
4 metallic spires interact with the lightning

We will duel tomorrow with the fake Ellywick?

Sean - "At least she doesn't fuck the kids, she only wines and dines them"

about Yassandra

Summary

Ivy makes a bet with 2 pub goers, who screwed her over by dooming Beet to fall. Find out that the Portrait of Yass is a phylactery that if we destroy we can kill her. We go into The Treasure Trail and find a clone of Ellywick performing, and end up arguing with Aunty. She says we can have dinner with her if we bring her a unicorn horn. We find the 2 routes we could go to visit her at Motherhorn Castle.

Rohan's Summary

After leaving Yassandra's woodland realm, you found yourself on the craggy mountainside, the sky full of thunder and lightning that seemed to be drawn to the tallest mountain in Aunty's realm.

You spent the night at a nearby tavern, The Treasure Trail. It was here that Aunty appeared and gave a performance to the crowd. After her act, she came down and spoke to Kathryns Angels.

Aunty told you that an expedition of Mind flayers had slipped into her realm looking for an artefact (one of the eight of the loom), she had captured one in her tower at Motherhorn Castle, and sent the rest fleeing into the Evermaze.
