Finding keys
In the distance we see a shadow the size of a big house moving through the swamp. We decide to investigate. As the mucky water is rising and rising, Frostbite very kindly offers to carry me on his shoulders. I refuse, not wanting to be a burden, but eventually I take him up on his offer as I can barely move forward anymore. As we get close tit does turn out to be a house on numerous feet walking through the swamp. Occasionally it stops and moves down until the threshold is on even level with the ground.
Getting close we see small wisp like lights, which I try to hit from my high position on the shoulders of Frostbite. The smell of a hearty stew can be smelled here and lights can be seen behind the windows. The building sets down again and Maeve knocks at the door. A nice old lady opens it and quickly invites us in, before the building starts moving again. She introduces herself as Tsu, the innkeeper of the "Inn at the End of the Road". As I enter she gives me a welcome worthy of a Monarch :) Inside we see several guests sitting at the tables.
Tsu is complaining that the inn can no longer leave Hither due to the hag who caused all the mist to block the paths out of here. You would need some kind of password or spell to leave. Something to worry about once we've dealt with Bavlorna. We explain we like to find her, but first we want to visit Telemyhill where we would like to visit Jingle Jangle. We also learn that the inn can't pass the brigands toll road, as it is being controlled by the Longscarf brigands. A goblin joins in the conversation, asking if that way could be a possibility to get into Tither. He has to get back there as he was running some kind of delivery errant and has been gone for way too long already now. Sir Talavar explains that an invitation can also get you into one of the other areas.
Tsu asks us if we're hungry. Frostbite, remembering the laws if Prismeer, reluctantly hands over the wand he won at the carnival in exchange for food and a night sleep. Maeve also offers to perform, which results in a very nice room upgrade. We sit down to a very nice stew (which we already smelled outside), and we have a plum cobbler as desert. During Maeve's performance, one of the bullywugs sings along.
I'm getting drowsy/sleepy however so I decide to turn in for the night. The next morning we have a very nice breakfast and we learn that the tides have caused the mucky water to lower again. So we say our farewell and we continue our route, based on a map the bullywugs have drawn yesterday evening for Zephyr how to reach Downfall. I complain that we would first be going for Jingle Jangle but as we got no idea where to find her, let's just head to Downfall than, hoping to encounter her.
We encounter a nice clear brook and decide to fill our waterskins. gazing into the water we somehow all have different relfections/visions. I see a hag with toad-like features relaxes in a pool of water while miniature versions of her ladle the water and pour it over her head and shoulders.
We continue and I'm glad the ground is getting somewhat less soggy and less misty. The ground is moving somewhat it seems, as if the hill we're seeing is shifting places. Could this be Telemyhill? I run up the hill but find my path blocked by a few trees who perambulate towards us. They explain that Jingle Jangle isn't happy as she's been robbed of her truffles, she's most likely very hangry now. As we promise to help her they let us pass.
We find some kind of keyhole shaped entrance which leads into a dark corridor. We follow it down and see numerous keys dangling from the ceiling, hanging from the walls and lying on the ground. A goblin wearing a coat clad in keys approaches us. She's looking depressed, but when Ashira offers some kind of berry, she's quick to accept and eat it. In return she'll look for the key to Sir Talavar's cage. He's really glad we've freed him, and as promised we receive his sword/dagger as a reward. He then heads of after he has invited us to visit him sometime at the summer queen court. Jingle Jangle also thanks us and hopes we will find the brigands who stole her truffles. If we encounter them we should retrieve those and enjoy them as they apparently are quite tasty.
Going down the moving hill again, the tree pass us a small key which should come in handy someday.
