DM: After a few more days you guys are well into Autumn and on the horizon you begin to see the shape of a castle, or rather less a castle and more like a huge henge or coliseum, you know like a round open top structure rather than a fortress. As soon as Rymer sees it, he points it out as where you guys are going. Looks to be another days travel.
Mistletoe: So, this is where you grew up?
Rymer: Not exactly.
Mistletoe: Mistletoe just kind of tilts his head waiting expectantly.
DM: He keeps walking.
Mistletoe: Okay then where did you grow up? Was it an exchange sort of thing you were the ward of a powerful fey spirit to learn some things that sort of deal?
DM: You just see him take a deep breath.
Ethan: [in chat] EXCHANGE PROGRAM WITH THE FEYWILD??
DM: Make a, god, I feel like, I don't know what an annoyance check would be if it's intimidation or persuasion.
Mistletoe: Well, oh that does matter for me I guess.
DM: Whichever one you want to use. Yeah I don't know what an annoyance check would be.
Nathaniel (OOC): [in chat] yeah?
DM: Unless I make Rymer make a fucking will save.
Mistletoe: I'll go with persuasion.
DM: Okay and then I'll use that, see if he can beat that.
Mistletoe: He can probably beat this.
DM: We'll see.
Hunt (OOC): We'll see.
Nathaniel (OOC): [in chat] that's what happened with Mistletoe. He's gone to train to be a hunter with the Lord of the Hunt
DM: Yeah, we'll fucking see. He's got a +1 to his Wisdom so let's *rolls* Nope, that's a 9. Christ on a cracker Rymer, come on man.
Hunt (OOC): That poor man.
Ethan: [in chat] and the fey just left a child?
Rymer: No, what happened is that there was a deal made with a witch on the Material Plane and the Owl King and she decided she wanted me back at the end of it, so I went back.
Nathaniel (OOC): [in chat] ??
Ethan: [in chat] 'here, child. thanks for you child'
Nathaniel (OOC): [in chat] no?
Mistletoe: Oh.
Marigold: Owl King?
Rymer: Yes. The King of the Twilight Court.
Tark (OOC): [in chat] like it dont happen all the time
Marigold: Owl King. Was she a nice witch?
Rymer: I think she tried to be. He gave her power in exchange for her firstborn child and then she decided she'd rather have the son that she carried than the magic that he granted her, so she asked for the deal revoked.
Mistletoe: Huh, didn't know you could do that.
Rymer: Neither did I.
Mistletoe: So what's it like having a mom?
Rymer: Do you not have one?
Mistletoe: I mean, I don't know her.
Rymer: It's... fine. I mean...
DM: He looks like he's not sure how to proceed with what he wants to say.
Mistletoe: Mistletoe's just looking at him with this wide-eyed curious look.
Rymer: I think it would've been easier for her if I was more inclined to be on the Material Plane, but I was not.
Mistletoe: Hmm.
Rymer: I miss the mother I had here.
Mistletoe: Well good thing we're visiting then.
Rymer: Yes, it's been a long time.
Mistletoe: And Mistletoe is gonna sling his arm over Rymer's shoulder again.
DM: He kind of flinches but doesn't push you off.
Mistletoe: Isn't these good talks we're having?
DM: Just a hard glare.
#D&D mischief#Relni campaign#Relni Recap#Relni Chapter 42#I can't stop thinking about the major shift in Rymer's reality as a child#going from being a prince in the Feywild to being the son of a witch on the Material Plane#on top of that the culture shock#AND HE DIDN'T GET A SAY IN THE MATTER!!!#there needs to be custody courts for these things!#though now I'm wondering if Rymer's bio mother thought she'd get him back as a baby#but instead got a child due to time being weird between the planes
