I wouldn't have guessed that password
Zephyr wants to go snail-racing. Some of the others join him. But as I avoid these supposed slow creatures as the plague I take a stroll along the carnival together with Maeve. We shortly check out the goblin wresting but eventually end up at a gnome poetry contest. Maeve of course wants to participates and crushes her first opponent, granting her a golden ticket to the finale. There she manages to beat her opponent with the help of me cheering her on. Awesome poetry skills she has!
It's about time for me to be crowned Monarch as I explain that I stand a pretty decent chance with all the tickets I've bought and used up today. Most attractions and tents are slowly closing down in preparation for the final event of the night. AS we walk to Big Top, the others catch up with us again, with a delighted Ashira who apparently won the snail race. Nice job!
The Witchlight Monarch - told you so
A huge crowd has gathered in Big Top and in the arena we see mister Light waving his Witchlight weathervane. A golden ribbon sprouts from the vane swirling through the tent showering everybody with golden glitter. As the ribbon seems to slow down above my head I start to make way to the arena waving my four tickets, but then it continues again. Hmmmmm... But then all of a sudden it turns back to me and it really starts to swirl above me. I'm invited to the center of the arena where I am indeed crowned Witchlight Monarch. They place a crown adorned with golden butterflies on my head and I feel a shiver go down my spine. See, I knew it was pay to win all the time.
I get to make a round around the arena, being cheered on by the crowd. meanwhile Palasha is singing an awesome song in my honor. Next a round around the grounds, with fireworks lighting the sky. But then it's time to close the carnival. Mister Light bids everybody farewell and see you again in eight years. And poof, the crown is gone, but I did have my moment of fame!
Zephyr, Ashira and Dhanell put their plan in moment with the pocketwatch, while the rest of us head to the Hall of Illusions where we still can't manage to activate the crossing. Somehow they seem to have convinced mister Witch who brings us to one of the mirrors and tells us the 'magic' words: "Hither tither here and there; Wander yonder show me where. Before Zephyr manages to tell me to try it out, I've already spoken these words and with a "thank you and farewell" I step into the mirror. Shortly after followed by the others.
The Feywild
We're standing in thick mist on a causeway. As we walk for a few meters the mist becomes less dense and we see this causeway is on 90 feet high pillars and there's a lot of cracks and chasms. Beneath the causeway we see huge mushrooms and a swampy ground floor. I try to orient myself based on the stars, but they look completely different from the world we just came from. We decide to set up camp on the causeway before we try to climb down as it has been a long night and we can use the rest. Everybody spends some time researching their winnings from the carnival. During my with I keep track of the stars so I can orient myself and help navigate this world hopefully.
The next morning as I'm looking around again I see a gray patchwork hot air balloon spin out of control and crashing somewhere in the swamp. With the help of my rope and grappling hook we all climb down to one of the giant shrooms and than to the ground. Zephyr comes flying down bringing along my rope. I start mapping out the area and indicate the direction of the balloon crash site on the map.
As we're trying to find a path through the swamp we all of a sudden hear singing. Maeve starts to calp along with the song. As we get closer we see six Harengon with a captured giant snail approaching us. They call out this is a robbery, but they're all but convincing. This doesn't bode well for the impressiveness of Harengon in this world. Zephyr asks them where to find Bhavlovlah to which they don't want to answer. When she turns the question around, where not to find her so we can avoid her, they explain we shouldn't go in the direction they point out to us. I quickly mark that on my map as well. They give their robbery thing another half-hearted try but when Maeve explains we're a band as well, me explaining I'm her roadie, they back of and are on their merry way again and continue their song, stating we're weird folk.
