Sessions

Session 1: The First Day of School!

Session Planning

Go through scenes with each of their families (use their family themes).

Cassius: Robot servant wakes him up, and serves him breakfast in bed. “Master, I have made your salmon, avocado, and salmon roe toast for breakfast this morning. Please let me know if it is up to your standards.” His mom offers to drive him to school. Dad is busy in his office.
Seren: step mom wakes her up and cooks a very healthy breakfast (so many griffin eggs!! Multigrain toast with fresh made jam), Dad comes out and talks about growing to be a big strong man just like him. Step mom gives Seren one of Novak’s hair pins (it has stars and the moon on it) (wait Seren, before you leave the car. Your dad didn’t want to let go of anything of your mother’s, but I noticed you were growing your hair out and I thought you might want her hairpin. As a reminder of her love).Step mother then drives Seren and her sibling to school.
Murphy: Nyvorlas is sleeping on the couch when he wakes up. Gets startled awake by Murphy walking around in the creaky ass apartment. All the milk in the fridge is chunky and the cereal is moldy. Nyvorlas apologizes pathetically. Murphy takes the bus or walks alone
Revil: wakes up in the lake. Has to get back into the treehouse without being suspicious. Both mothers are drinking herbal tea and offer herbal tea to Revil when they see him. Fae breakfast before riding the axolotl to school.

Cassius finds large book on robots and asks Doctor Nork about grenades and alchemists fire. Revil keeps eating fungi and shares a moment with the druid teacher over seaweed. Revil finds book on sea god which is slimy. Aria comes up to Revil to show off unseen servant. During lunch, Murphy, Ciria, and Seren look for the kids at the back of the school. There is a huge fog cloud, and they only see Skye and Lily at first. Lily, when questioned, tells them it’s to make them stronger, it happens every year, and that Coach Yellowtail was known for trying to put cameras in the girl’s locker rooms. Murphy is suspicious but Seren and Ciria accept it as a hazing ritual. After school, Cassius goes to the robotics club which meets every day after school and on the weekends, led by Doctor Nork.

Session 4: The Mines

Session Planning

stuff to do
- create npcs for band and theater and swim
- flesh out robotics team
- create stat blocks for Lily, Skye, and Arabella
  - find music
Business meeting at Ooslyian Steakhouse
- “Ah, Lucian and Cassius. Right on time. Welcome. Please, meet our head weapons scientist, Gary Risoul.” (wearing his old tattered military outfit, as always)
  - Gary Risoul is a human, wearing a suit
- “Pleasure to see you again, Alexander, and pleasure to meet you Mr. Risoul. clears throat Right well, let’s get on with it then. What is this “new technology” you’re boasting about?”
- Alexander nods at Gary
- Gary: “We call it Sylver. It’s a new way of infusing magic into our technical creations. Currently, the magic infused into our weapons and security technology is weak and diluted. By focusing a magic user’s power on something like steel, something so non resonant with magic, most of the magic that goes into the weapon is lost. Sylver refers to gems that are attuned to life, and thus, attuned to magic. The singular is Sylveri. By using these Sylver, we achieve a much higher concentration of magical power than previously thought.”
- Lucian: “Fascinating. Do you have an example of a creation using Sylver? How much more concentrated are we talking?”
- Gary: “Depends on the size. With a Sylveri the size of a human tooth, such as this one, we can create an explosion crater around 15 feet in diameter. But the exact power granted varies based on the specific Sylver’s origin.”
- Lucian: “And, how does one attune these Sylver to magic?”
- Gary: “Sylver are not artificially attuned. Sylver, due to their arcano-chemical construction, are naturally attuned to magic.”
- Lucian: “And how do you construct a Sylveri?”
- Gary: “Well, much like an or…”
- Alexander: “We’re still working on that part. For right now, we can use naturally occurring Sylver.”
- Lucian: “Right. So you have an unfinished product design that isn’t even replicable. Of what use is that to the Callahan Corporation?”
- Alexander: “(laughs) I don’t think you understand. These are like scrolls on steroids.”
- Lucian: “(looks to Cassius) Do you have any questions for them, son?”
  - In the event Cassius asks if he can have one
    - Oh that’s right, you are in an adventuring party aren’t you boy? Well, we can’t just give away our proprietary technology for free. I’ll tell you what though, if you and your little friends are up for it, I’d be willing to let you test one out in return for a job.
    - Prototype Sylver Pistol: A regular-seeming Callahan Corporation pistol with a small lever on the left side.
      - Twice per day, you can pull the lever as part of a ranged attack action. The pistol shoots a ray of pink flame which extends for 30 ft or until it hits an object or creature. If the ranged attack succeeds, deal 3D6 fire damage. If unsuccessful, the creature takes half. The target must then roll a DC 14 dexterity save. On a failed save, the target becomes ignited and takes 1D6 fire damage each turn, or until it or a creature within 5 ft uses the help action to put them out.
    - There's some Sylver being stolen from one of our sources in the Theta mines. I don't know who's dumb enough to mess with the Callahan family, but we need those gems back. I don't care what you do to them as long as you get back what they stole and scare them into never touching our stuff again.
  - Sylver being stolen by a guardian of the dead (Thanara "Ghostwalker" Ira) accompanied by a spectre (Willow).

Session Summary

Cassius talked to Lee and Joseph in artificer class. Cassius spends his lunch at the robotics table with Poppy, Lee, and Arialion. Ciria spends her lunch with Vanessa, gets a tour of the school. Seren hangs out with the stoners and plays concentration. Cue business meeting with Alexander, in which Cassius realizes Sylver is like Sylvan. Cassius accepts the deal, his father will allocate 75 gp to pay his friends, and Cassius gets Poppy to come along for 12.5 gp. Friday is a day full of normal classes. Saturday at 4 (after Murphy's 11/7 shift) they go to the mines, go through the maze, see the thumping ground, which Murphy sets on fire. It burns purple at the center. The ground, unbeknownst to them, has a dead body underneath it. Seren sees smallish medium sized footprints leading to another path down the mines. As the follow it, they see a ghostly dreguar (Willow) who they procede to shoot at and try to burn. As they evacuate the path, Cassius gets shot by a creature he cannot see.

On Tuesday, Lily is at school. Wednesday, Lily is missing, so Skye, Arabella, Seren, and Ciria go to Lily's house, which is a giant purple tree with purple flowers hanging from it. Arabella and Wes climb up and break in to find the house empty. In Lily's room, there is moderate conjuration and transmutation magic, alongside a small orb which had abjurative magic, and plenty of other small traces of magic from her jewlery. The room looks as though powerful winds have gone through. In the kitchen, there is rice burning on the stove. Similarly, there is conjurative and transmutative magic, alongside claw marks in the countertop which start off human and then transform into wolf like claws. There is a faint cat smell which starts in Lily's room and ends in the kitchen.

Session 9: Club Festival Part 1

Planning

come up with a magic item for someone
- Friendship is Magic Bracelet (Elizabeth): Allows limited abilities to be used by the other wearer. The ability must be used on the original person's turn. For instance, on Elizabeth's turn, she could cast shocking grasp but have Beth use her hands instead. The relevant abilities allowed are spells and non-offensive ki points.
- Friendship is Magic Bracelet (Alternative): When one of the wearers takes damage, the other wearer can choose to take half of the damage, so that each wearer takes half the damage. If damage is odd, the original wearer takes the extra point.
- Mother's Ring: A simple silver ring with a 4 pointed star shape on top. When worn, the silver turns iridescent. +1 bonus to AC and saving throws when wearing the ring.
change grinning cats stat block
Wizard teacher pauses time and unleashes grinning cats
add a few casters in the time pause

Summary

Elizabeth chose the alt version
Seren, Ciria, and Stonerwall contemplate what to do regarding Lily's dissapearance. Eventually, they settle on asking Vitalyn to do a scrying spell, which they pay for in brownies and checking up on Cassius.
Elizabeth and Beth talk about warriors and homestuck.
Cassius goes insane.
The scrying spell shows a corner of the wizard classroom. They go to investigate, with Cassius and Murphy distracting Professor Willowpool by talking about magic and magic items.
- Some minorly horrifying lore about how magic users bodies decay at a slightly faster rate, especially their liver. Also how removing magic is sort of like removing life force.
With some successful snooping, they find a purple gem with glittery movement inside and take it. They can tell the gem has magic on it, but is not itself inherently magical. Upon looking closer, they can see a silhoette of a person slamming their fist against the wall. Willowpool notices them snooping, but not them taking anything.
They head to the club festival and begin enjoying themselves, raising money for their clubs and getting a few extra members. Then time suddenly slows to a stop, and only the party and two others are aware and moving. Three grinning cats come out of the portal.

Session 10: Club Festival Part 2

Planning

Grinning cats fight
Give Seren her Mother's Ring: A simple silver ring with a 4 pointed star shape on top. When worn, the silver turns iridescent. +1 bonus to AC and saving throws when wearing the ring.
Let them investigate!

Summary

Grinning cats attack. Adam tries to kill himself to get to the faewild. Did not give Seren the ring yet.

Session 11: Wuh Oh

Planning

Give Seren her mother's ring. Her Dad is still gone.
Cassius spends some time working on his armor, and with the engineering principles and E&M work from Dr. Bork Nork's class, gets it to work!
time skip to a week or two later, Monday. Seren gets a text from Skye. "have you heard from Arabella over the weekend? she isn't at school today and she hasn't texted me at all, so im worried about her. its like the same thing as lily" "i tried checking her apartment already but... its goblin sized"
let them investigate
her phone last pinged in an old warehouse
warehouse looks abandoned on the outside, is a lab on the inside. glowing potions on certain counters and a few random stones. lot of guns around too. Gary risoul and a few other lab techs are there
need to prep combat encounter and lab techs in case they attack
When the party get to the warehouse, they see two lab techs bringing in a bag. The bag moves. They are too late to save Arabella, but unbeknownst to them.

Shoot the Monk Things: * Seren, animal handling, hrt appointment (chill) (blood drawn), sister things, Iming things, improve other armor things * Murphy has augury * Ciria trying to talk to spirits (give lore drop? maybe when holding Lily's gem she can hear her...)

Summary

Gary gets away, takes Arabella gem with him. No one else gets away, Ciria calls the cops. Lee is saved. Cassius has evidence. When we come next time, investigate the area. Ciria has one success, Elizabeth needs to do her saves.

Session 12: Lab Investigation

Planning

let them investigate the area, maybe find a holy symbol from Amy.
a spider with a non-magical gem in the center of the body. dc 11 religion check to figure out its an underdark god, dc 14 to find out its a dreugar god of making called Searie.

Summary

after defeating the evil ass wizard/scientist we started investigating the abandoned shoe warehouse. we found the casting focus of Amy Basilfoot a cleric of the drugar god Searie, the god of making. we also found several drawers of files on the students, the categorization is still a mystery to us. Lee is safe, just has to pass the crystals. we also had a fun adventure in an thai italian restaurant. the owner wanted us to get rid of "wolf rats" who were stealing food from the freezers and cabinets. after a lot of twilight references and nature checks, we tracked the fox rats into the vents. a greased up Cassius entered the smaller vent while a non-greased Ciria and greased Murphy crawled through the large vent. Upon finding the fox rat restaurant Ciria attempted to communicate with the fox rat waiter, ending up having a nice dinner in the vents with Murphy. after exiting we strongly encouraged the owner of the fusion restaurant to partner up with the rats. after returning to school we went to talk with Sky, attempting to find a reason for the separation in the files

they talked to the police who were wearing military uniforms under their uniform (military bros who are friends with Alexander)

Session 13: Asteria's Helping Hand

Planning

to do: create character sheets for skye, beth, vitalyn

mention thanara as a resource
have everyone tell me their passive insight while at school. dc 12 to find out Anton Callahan is looking at them weirdly.
roleplay friendships and club meetings.
ask cassius what he is going to do with the evidence (glorbus)
vitalyn asks who kidnapped lily: what do we know about them, did lily have any enemies, etc.
throwback to mr tycoon
give murphy The Eternal Light: a necklace with orange and yellow beads and a sun pendant. The necklace has 4 charges. When you fail a Constitution saving throw to maintain Concentration, you can take a Reaction and expend 1 of the necklace’s charges to succeed instead. The item regains 1d4 expended charges daily at dawn. When you expend a charge, the necklace glows a bright white light.
focus on Revil.

Summary

while the rest of the gang was dealing thai italian travesty, Revil had returned to the sea because he was homesick. while swimming with his family, he met the sea hag Elizabeth Wormwiggle. mistaking her for Von Eckenburg, he brought her to school when he returned. after Von Eckenburg assesed Wormwiggle's vibes with a Suzzbeed quiz, she was invited to accompany the party. after Revil wandered off, Von Eckenburg and Wormwiggle went off to wizard class together. during Revil's druid class he ate some poison ivy and then started infodumping to Vitalyn who was monitoring him. they continued their conversation into lunch where Revil continued to talk about his home and the sea. meanwhile, Von Eckenburg, Wormwiggle and Beth made themselves smell like a sushi bouquet. Murphy Dropkick asserted himself in Revil's convo after that, traumatizing poor Revil with eel sex and freshwater whales (eel pervert) also at lunch, Anton Callahan was staring at Seren and Ciria, saying they "reminded him of someone." Revil also destroyed a random child while trying to drown John Tycoon. after school, Vitalyn caught us and asked about our progress on locating Lily, eventually deciding we needed the help of an adult we could trust. we arrived at the nurse's office, meeting with the Cleric Teacher. after confirming that the crystal we were carrying and Cassius' makeshift magic gun contained a soul, they told us a bit more about Atsumari. Atsumari is a collector of trinkets, powerful wizards and also an arms dealer, but was sealed by Principal Dumpsterdive (MY GOAT!!!) however, the Cleric Teacher went to the principal's office, finding that the crystal holding Atsumari was missing. thankfully Von Eckenburg had a plan to glean some information. a science seance where we would speak with the head of the grinning cat. with the assistance of the Cleric Teacher alonside some distraction from Murphy, we were able to ask five questions. Who summoned you when you first came to this realm? A wizard What is Atsumari's prophecy? I do not know Atsumari's prophecy What is the connection between Atsumari and the Callahan Corporation? I do not know the Callahan Corporation Where is Lily Lunalin? I do not know Lily Lunalin Why did you attack those kids when you were first summoned here? It was what I was summoned to do

Session 14: Looking Closely

Planning

give murphy The Eternal Light: a necklace with orange and yellow beads and a sun pendant. The necklace has 4 charges. When you fail a Constitution saving throw to maintain Concentration, you can take a Reaction and expend 1 of the necklace’s charges to succeed instead. The item regains 1d4 expended charges daily at dawn. When you expend a charge, the necklace glows a bright white light.
need to do asteria's stats
ask each player who they want to pay attention to during the day. DC depends on how much you see them and also how good they are at deception.
anton is still being suspicious as fuck. if they follow him, they see him meeting Professor Willowpool.
ask everyone what they are thinking about in class.
do combat??? maybe wizard classroom???
dont forget to do breaks
dont forget crystalization spell

Summary

everyone investigates but no one finds something worthwhile. Murphy has a heart to heart with his dad, where he is given The Eternal Light. Revil eats seamoss and gets high as balls, turns into a barnacle, cleric teacher helps reset him. Cassius is still having an existential crisis.

Session 15: The Goop Episode

murphy plans an anti concentration spell make an attack roll within, disadvantage on con, damage (4D6 for 2nd level?)
ciria got the yippees.
1 sp = $1 usd
Sybeat offhandedly mentions going on a senior trip with her party to go piss off a king (and expose him for lies), which now has become a relevant plot point apparently.
Murphy is very distressed about this trip.
Beth tries a seasmoothie with pufferfish and coffee and gets really energetic but also swelling and red eyes. Nurse fixes it.
Elizabeth puts oobleck coach into a clam and animates it, after combining with the sea shake it dances to music but also seems kind of like its writhing in pain.
Murphy went to get pickling ingredients. 85 english cucumbers.
everyone has weird dreams where they have both things they want and things they fear except for seren who was awake while Skye was breaking the barrier with duskmoss. Some of them hear atsumari and vanessa talking, but they dont recognize atsumari's voice. also elizabeth stayed up all night
murphy: in pickle jar, dad doesnt love him, gets drowned in vinegar
ciria: in oobleck breathing cage, hearing whispering voices
cassius: surrounded by glorbuses playing random sounds, saying terrible things and wonderful things, eventually gets dissected. really long dream
Revil: eaten by whale continuously, given cucumbers by elizabeth, hears atsumari
foreshadowing that duskmoss lets you see or even travel to other planes
skye didnt see arabella in the various hells and realms she saw. skye failed the challenges though.

Session 16: Prophecy

Planning

revil magic item?
Revil's host mother gives him a Prismatic Pearl: an iridescent, large white pearl which is used for marking. When it hits the ground or another hard object, swaths of iridescent powder coat the surrounding area. If used in this manner, everyone in a 5ft radius of the pearl must make a dex saving throw, the DC of which is equal to your proficiency bonus + your dex or strength modifier. On a failed save, they are coated in this fine powder, and any attempts to hit them can be done with advantage. The pearl can only be used this way once per long rest. The pearl and its powder glow in the dark.
currently vanessa has arabella and basalheart.
let ciria see into the gem using ability. lily sees her and reacts, but cannot be heard. lily can hear. lily has no way of communicating back.
do relationship things with iming, but she goes missing (3rd one)
then wolafeth, then sybeat, then vitalyn
By the power of trash you are trapped in this den, your soul entangled in this butterfly gem, freed by holding in your grasp fully magical non-men, in the order of no more or no less than half a dozen.

Summary

homeroom, then lunch where Asteria shows a piece of paper they found in Dumpsterdive's trashcan with the prophecy, but his handwriting is really bad and also there are ink pawprints everywhere. after some deduction work, they arrive at most of the prophecy: By the power of trash you are trapped in this den, your soul entangled in this butterfly gem, freed by holding in your grasp f???? ?????al non-men, in the order of no more or no less than half a dozen
art club where ciria is drawing dumpsterdive as a jojos character
Elizabeth and Murphy showed up as well, deciding to hangout as well. as they chatted and hung out, Ciria invited Elizabeth out to the occult shop to get some resources while Imming invited Seren out on a date to the yarn shop. Ciria and Elizabeth got their resources and Seren and Imming went on their date.
Ciria and Elizabeth got some occult stuff like candles and incense.
Seren and Iming got yarn, booked the loom for the weekend, and got icecream together (lingonberry icecream?)
Murphy is going insane

Session 17: Threads of Fate

Planning

ciria and elizabeth having dinner
give revil pearl
let ciria see into the gem using ability. lily sees her and reacts, but cannot be heard. lily can hear. lily has no way of communicating back. Lily tries using common sign language but her hands get blurred by the gem?
Iming and Seren moments? Perhaps loom using session, where Iming is working on spinning a thin sparkly thread called Harpy's Hair.
Ask everyone who they're hanging out with, who they are talking to
Vitalyn and Revil moments in druid class?
Cassius and Poppy moment: Poppy checks up on him: how are you feeling?
Mystra, in the form of purple and golden thread wound in a humanoid form, gives Seren the ability to see strings of fate. Seren's vision is suddenly overcome with layers of thread and fiber, thinning away to reveal Mystra in her thread form in a galaxy. her mouth doesn't move but Seren hears a chorus of voices, old and young, high and low: "I can no longer reach Iming Galarina, but her thread of fate still lingers in the Material and the Dreamscape. Find her using her thread, and I will bless a project of yours." Mystra's form falls into a pile of thread, and suddenly Seren is back at home. Seren can see a faint silver string the next day at school leading out from the school, down the road, and eventually to the forest, in which there is a cabin, large garden, and a barn. The string leads to the cabin, into a bedroom with walls covered in tapestries, beautiful blankets covering the bed and chair, and strings strung across the ceiling, forming almost a star map. On the bed, the floating silver thread is disorganized, like it doesn't know where to go, as it reaches towards the pillow and eventually fades.
A detect magic spell or arcana check reveals the barrier between the dreamscape and the material plane here has been weakened significantly (or that a transmutation spell has been done here). Traveling between the two can be done by simply falling asleep. A particularly high arcana check or find traps spell (or if they specifically try to find traps) reveals an alarm spell will trigger upon entering the dreamscape.
once in the dreamscape, they see Willowpool, Cousin Anton, and some of his friends standing in a circle, each drinking a red potion. The silver thread leads from where they entered to Willowpool's satchel.
Cue fight sequence
note: because this is the dreamscape, certain otherwise impossible things are possible. small Floating platforms can be moved with thought. Magic can be altered easily to deal different types of damage with a successful dc 12 insight check, spell effects can be changed slightly.
Note: after 5 turns, if the party has not left, Atsumari will appear and try to tie herself to the party via magic. Dex save????
first turn: loud siren. a butterfly flies across the islands and lands on Willowpool. second turn: butterflies swarm the dead bodies and or blood and or injuries on people. third turn: more butterflies more swarming fourth turn: the butterflies start swarming the alive people fifth turn: all the butterflies vanish. Asteria notes we need to leave NOW.
the butterflies will steal willowpools bag or willowpool will throw the gem up to the butterflies
