Game Title - My distant Family or (Orange you glad I said banana) We began the game starting again in the Wilson Keep, the group took a much needed rest and all experienced dreams in the night. Malaya saw Melissa in the night but she was sure it was a dream. In the morning some folks shared their dreams of the night before. The sharing was interrupted by some screaming from inside the keep. They traced the screams to a magically sealed door that they tried to open but Elly noticed was sealed by magics. After some talk about how to open the door Elly once again suggested since the door was of Malaya's family she try. The door opened and inside stood Melissa, Melissa kindly asked for the group to leave her family's keep but instead Trelic noticed her as the body he had seen the day before and attacked her. The party fought with Melissa and after some struggle they downed her. Malaya wanted to bury Melissa and honor her family so they went outside partly also because Malaya just felt uncomfortable. After some thought and remembering she recalled tales of a crypt inside the keep's basement and since the room Melissa was killed in had a trapdoor the group returned to journey downward. Elly jumped up and down on the trapdoor and was able to release the door by putting an Elly shaped hole in it. The party went through the caves where the doors were all swollen shut. The first encounter of note was once again Elly going close to the water and being grab by a serpent of water. The group fought the beast and through a combination of magics, Fizzlebang suggested they try to back away. Tailia pulled Elly free and everyone backed out of range. The Crypt was again found by Fizzlebang's use of his owl to trigger a teleport location were he saw the crypt. After much talk about how to move forward Elly finally jump on the teleport location and was sent into the crypt where she was greeted by a 4-armed skeleton warrior. One by one the party was able to join her the battle in the crypt was dangerous as the group ended up fighting two of these skeletons and a wight. After suffering many injuries the party rest. The professor finds some interesting things about the main statue in the center of the room and after fiddling with the statue a bit seemed to become possessed and spews a fountain of blood to the ceiling which drains through holes in the ceiling. Elly finds a trap which eats away her rapier and turns her skin orange but we wont dwell on this much. Malaya starts hearing the voice of her sister quite clearly now. The professor, Tialia and Fizzle all search the coffins finding a variety of things including coins. Elly finds the pass phrase to get them out of here. Elly leaves then the professor and Malaya having had enough of this place and her sister leaves as well. Trelic, Tilia and Fizzle continue to explore a bit. Fizzle prays to Yishana and destroys the statue of the demon in the room, Tialia and Trelic find some of the Wilson family poisons. The group wraps things up here and decides to journey to Shanytown to find more answers. In Shantytown Tilia sees the manor of Vhoori and her group is invited for dinner, after some talk to refuse and go to the inn with the blessing of Vhoori and 2 room keys. The professor inquires about the kingdom flags being at halfmast and finds that knowledge of the Queen's death is public as is the disappearance of the prince. He also learns that the Steward Sebastian is dead. The queen's death has been said to be an accident, but the people believe that the prince was taken by Savonia, the aggressive kingdom to the northeast and that they are also responsible for the death of Sebastian. The party finally sits to have some food and drink and rest, when Malaya's sister apporches from across the inn. XP Reward - 750 Go ahead and level up as you will long rest shortly.
