The Festival of the Willow

Key Events 

• The party continues through the Festival of the Willow, enjoying games and competitions as they go
• The ring toss event is held in a colourful tent where unicorn statues are lined up along the back wall. A drow man in a vest & loose-fitting pants introduces the game:
  • 5sp p/person will grant 3 throws
  • Contestants must throw the ring onto the unicorn horn
  • 1 ring = 1 prize
  • 3 rings = 2 prizes
• Marralee 😈 pays for Miraren 🧝‍♂️'s first round, then proceeds to miss all three of her shots
• Tabitha 💀 hooks 1 ring and wins some Face Paint 🎨 with a light magical aura
• Ridley 🦁 also succeeds with 1 ring, winning a small Spider Toy 🕷
• Miraren 🧝‍♂️ cheats by using Mage Hand to guide the rings onto the unicorn horns, successfully landing all three rings and winning a replica Unicorn Horn Filled with Candy 🦄 and a Small Bag of Translucent Dust 👝
• Marralee 😈 has another turn and with some assistance from Miraren 🧝‍♂️'s Mage Hand, succeeds at hooking all three rings, winning some Face Paint 🎨, and an Elegant Spoon 🥄 that doesn't reflect an inverse image like a normal spoon would
• Ridley 🦁 identifies the prizes, discovering that the face paints grant 1 use of Disguise Self, the Spider Toy 🕷 grants 1 use of Spider Climb (which he gifts to Miraren 🧝‍♂️), there is nothing special about the unicorn horn with the candy, but the bag of translucent dust grants flying for 1 minute or 30ft. The spoon is just a spoon that doesn't reflect an inverse image like a normal spoon would

• Jousting:
  • 5sp p/person
  • Contestants ride giant, saddled Koi fish and rush each other with softened lances
  • Contestants must change into special chainmail armor (does not affect proficiencies, but drops AC to what it would be with no armor)

• Marralee 😈 vs Tabitha 💀: Marralee 😈 wins, also getting a small plaque with her name engraved

• Tabitha 💀 goes up against a burly dwarf man and wins despite interference from the rest of the party
• Miraren 🧝‍♂️ seeks out bumper stickers for the cart, finding 5 and getting a sixth custom made:

• The party heads to the dancefloor, and Marralee 😈 goes in search of shots. She purchases an entire bottle of Fantasy Fireball 🥃 that effects the party strangely
  - Marralee 😈 blows pink bubbles for 1 minute

  - Miraren 🧝‍♂️ gets +1d4 to ability checks for an hour

  - Marralee 😈 is granted a vague look into another plane, where she can see fish floating around for the next hour
  - Tabitha 💀 ends up throwing up rainbows
  
• • Ridley 🦁 grows a beard of feathers, over his existing beard
  • Miraren 🧝‍♂️'s hair grows down to his knees
  • Marralee 😈 purchases 2 more bottles of the Fantasy Fireball 🥃 to drink on the road
• Just as the party decides it's probably best to get to bed, they're made aware that the best part was yet to come, as the masses all move towards the tree at the back of Suda
• Marius begins a drunken speech about the tree

• Upon completion of his speech, Marius bows as the tree starts sprouting leaves, and there is a burst of green. Where the leafless tree once stood, there is now a full, luscious Wisteria tree with gems dangling from the branches
• Marralee 😈 tries to ask someone where the local tavern is, and nudges a drow woman who appears to be the only sober person in the entirety of Suda
• The woman introduces herself as Kiana 😍, and has short, black hair, a cropped blazer, a pistol, and glasses.
• After some chat back-and-forth, where the party learns that the woman knows Celia 🏴‍☠️, Kiana 😍 leads the party back to her house, allowing us to rest and sleep-off the booze.
• While the rest of the party falls asleep in a cuddle pile, Miraren 🧝‍♂️ goes down to speak to Kiana 😍 a little more.
• Kiana 😍 is well-travelled and looking to head towards the Capital of Alabi with a party, as the road can be treacherous when travelling alone
• Miraren 🧝‍♂️ tells her he'll ask the party how they feel about bringing her along, and heads to the room where the others are, stopping to talk to Twiggy 🌳 before going to bed
• Twiggy 🌳 says that with Goodie 💖's help they've determined that the party has about 2 weeks to plant him, and it will be around 6 months from him to grow to full size
• Miraren 🧝‍♂️ promises to find a nice hill somewhere for Twiggy 🌳 to be planted, and gifts him the Elf Ranger Plushie 🎯 he won at the festival, telling Twiggy 🌳 that this way they'll always be together, even when they can't be
• After putting Twiggy 🌳 back in the Gem of Twiggy Travel 💎, Miraren 🧝‍♂️ joins the cuddle pile for rest
• 😴 Long Rest 😴
• In the morning, the party finds a note from Kiana 😍 with 5 purple tablets
• "Take these, it will help with the hangover"
• The party takes the pills and feel better almost immediately (they're practically speed)
• Miraren 🧝‍♂️ relays Kiana 😍's desire to join the party in heading towards the capital and Ridley 🦁 makes contact with Celia 🏴‍☠️ for a little background on the stranger
• Celia 🏴‍☠️ says that Kiana 😍 is a "good friend...and more" and is trustworthy
• Kiana 😍 makes breakfast, and Marralee 😈 hugs her from behind, stealing some bacon (to be known thereafter as "Reacharound Bacon")
• The party asks a few questions over breakfast, learning that Kiana 😍 is meeting a friend in the capital who is an acquaintance of Sedvioth Crofkeve 🧥, and offers to teach the party Undercommon, as well as the lay of the land. She also knows where Dara ✨'s well is in the Mushroom Forest
• Miraren 🧝‍♂️ sends Poggin 🐉 to crawl up into Kiana 😍's lap and it appears that a small rivalry has begun between Miraren 🧝‍♂️ & Marralee 😈 as they very obviously vie for Kiana 😍's attention.
• Marralee 😈 decides to get a pet rat
