Session 41: The Fools

NPC's
Bird-Smoke

Location
Eltica

Summary
Cryllos asks why the bird person is so keen on fighting, but she ignores him. Alastor flirts with her, causing the shadow to completely dissolve and reshape into a woman in a dark cloak. She facepalms and points at the door. On the other side of the room, Nonamé and Annora argue about her stolen sword. Nonamé drags Oliver to get the sword unstuck. Cryllos apologizes to the shadow lady for Alastor, to which she responds, "he's definitely her child." She dissolves into the ground, clearing the path to the door.

Through it is a cave that slopes up, leading into a large, black room of marble. The walls are spikey and have veins of silver on the ceiling is a chandelier with blue-green flames, the floor is covered in mist, and there is a birdbath filled with glittering gold/coins/riches. Below the birdbath is a small sign that says, "take one." Alastor and Nonamé take a coin, Nonamé gently stabbing it afterward. Annora takes the crown, Cryl takes a ring, and Shade foolishly grabs a handful of coins, activating a trapdoor. They, except for Alastor and Cryllos with their powers, fall into freezing water, and they are swarmed by piranhas. They manage to get to shore safely.

Misc.
The riches: coins, shiny crown, pearl necklace, rings with gemstones, tacky gold heart-shaped necklace (L + B, perhaps Lalia and Beloch)
