I have so many art ideas that I don’t have the skill to execute myself, but that I would love to commission.

So instead, I’m here writing recaps every week and working on a timeline doc and working on a sending log and…

I started typing up recaps for our Candlekeep sessions about a year ago. So, as we head into the final adventure of Candlekeep Mysteries, I’d like to share some of those recaps here.

The first one I wrote up was our session 37, which was at the start of Book 15: The Scrivener’s Tale

Candlekeep: Session 37 Recap – 1/29/23

There was some additional shopping that happened in the discord between sessions.

Littlebit got a cool amulet and a sweet purple cloak that matches Ayla and Elenia!

The merchant was the cousin of the new mayor of Vermeillon and was pleased to report that the re-opening of the mine is going well.

We began our session at the end of a 4-week downtime. Some researchers at Candlekeep have been hard at work casting their net wide to look for possible solutions for Quickshot’s missing limbs. The Eyes of Amethyst were called in to help narrow the search by combing through some of the books.

We opted to use one of the magic conference rooms at The Hearth to make sure that our search is secure… what with the mysterious Stonky sightings and all.

Ayla was flying through books. Elenia and Littlebit took their time (Littlebit was especially thorough). Zeph fell asleep.

Elenia found an interesting book: The Scrivener’s Tale.

Not helpful in our quest for Quickshot, but interesting to Elenia as the subject matter was the Feywild.

75 pages, written in Sylvan, in spidery handwriting, in black ink with silver flecks.

Details the story of the Princess of the Shadowglass, a ruthless eladrin-turned-archfey. She is positioned as the protagonist against the Queen of Air and Darkness, ruler of the Gloaming Court.

The Princess lost the fight, but was not killed and vowed vengeance on all who wronged her.

Elenia got a shock at the end of the book: it was written by Zerian the Deserter and the scrap of paper that seemed to trigger her fey-related powers was torn from this book.

Also, her hands started feeling fuzzy...

The book is magical and gives off Illusion and Transmutation vibes.

Elenia woke up the following day with some fucky curse stuff going on:

Her arms are covered in Elven writing, matching the story and script of the book. She does not cast a shadow or have a reflection.

Adjutant Ramilir (who brought us the books for review) was absolutely horrified that this book made it into the pile. Littlebit and Zeph seem to think he was sincere in his mortification. He took us to the Great Reader Teles Ahvoste, who specializes in curses, magic items, and the Weave.

This is one hell of a curse. It will get progressively worse. It cannot be removed by Remove Curse or Greater Restoration. The only known removal was via a Wish spell, but there may be other solutions.

The book was brought to Candlekeep for safekeeping about 10 years ago by the adventurer Machil Rillyn, a noble from Baldur’s Gate. He had used almost all of his fortune to end the curse on himself.

The Eyes of Amethyst made haste to Baldur’s Gate via Teleportation circle.

Elenia started hearing a voice, just before we entered the circle…

Per Gubbles (manages the teleportation ring and loves hot dogs): Machil passed away about 10 years ago, shortly after the book was given to Candlekeep. House Rillyn is now led by his niece, Yvandre.

Between the Hall of Wonders and House Rillyn, the gang was attacked by 4 wood elf wizards riding on fomorians.

“Do you seek her?” “HIDING IS NOT GLORYFUL!”

They are in service to a Queen. Littlebit had Elenia stuff one of the bodies in The Hole for questioning.

(She wants to prepare Speak with Dead and Commune tomorrow)

Littlebit banished 2 of the fomorians to their home plane. They did not return.

Loot: 4x Rings of Gleaming Black Glass (10gp each)

Elenia heard the voice once again. It seems The Princess believes Elenia may be of use to her…

Elenia’s response: “If you free me, I can end the curse on you and free the Gloaming Court from their tyrannical ruler.”

In short: books are evil. What’s next?

All of yall with your cute little Puffskeins and cute little Kneazels…

Meet Amethyst, Allan’s dragon friend. Much like Poppy has Highwing, Allan has a dragon friend he got from freeing from Poacher capture, and with nowhere else to go, became pretty surprisingly good chums.
