Talk:Cheeky Patch

Sarah's new place for notes.

How do topics work? Could this be an individual day's notes?

Like if I took my notes here for a single session of the campaign?

Yeah... like this could be the next day's notes?

Maybe... like with the details here?

Dec 12

First Hunger - being summoned or coming back on its own. If it comes it will consume everything maybe including itself… which include maybe making a new reality

Architect of infinite forms - so then maybe that’s where the architect come in.

This is why david’s cousin has maybe tried to do his shit - but maybe he’s reached out tooooooo far past the architect… in trying to find it

Demon God of Madness - separately the continent down south has been ravaged by shit.

We encounter another ship, a Minotaur Gally and we maybe sink it with one cannonball? But it looked weird. As we approach hag island: smoke coming from halfling town!

"This island is ours now... kneel or burn... THE CROCODILE. Dominate beasty gone awry. wat. Cal was in bad shape and Ilabrar healed him. What about kronk?

Dec 17

Herein are my musings from today...

We visit Kronk. He created a tiny metal box and offers us tea. Ka-ess, Ilabrar, drink it and open the box. Silver and obsidian, my fur shines, in my reflection in the obsidion walls, i wear a crown of mirroed glass, thosuands of worshipers pray below me, i feel radiant and devine, but the crown feels strange like it doesn't belong. in the box is a shard of obsidion, inscribed with "the sharp edge of understand cuts both ways"

The door leads to the battle field beyond time. Do not know where it opens... is it a two way door? Kronk is not sure, hasn't seen the other side. Ka-ess moon questions - that sacred moon, there is a price to passage, and no real boat maybe gets there and you have to swim?! Demons enemies, maybe locked in by lightning.

Participation of gods can cause repercussions that are bad. Not all ***WHAT DID PAT QUOTE ABOUT BEWITCHED BIRD BOXES? WANT TO KNOW FOR REAL LIFE*** Cheeky is aware of a common cosmic entity lore from tabaxi religion: Cat lord stealing light from something, hanging a lantern and creating the jungle by doign so.. but lots of gaps there..

Three shadows stretch across the world, each darker than the last of holarshna and the artchitect - seek no sign; of bafomet - chaos will show us where he is, joy is slaughter and beasts are man; First hunger acts as a hunger would - is mindless and cares not Logic of the architect is too weird to fathom - Maglore is a vechicle Maglore is already here, they cannot ally because they cannot know each other - ALl will result in destruction. we can't understand it. Maglore wants to bring first hunger into the world; borrow some shit from the architect to remake the world in his image; presumably baphamet would do the same? All realsm are threatened by holashnar - multiple entities trying to take obsidian pyramid

Planes / realms

hell shadowfell

---

material plane- maybe central - maybe other planes mirror off of this, we dont' know what would happen if it were destroyed

feyweild something else

Holashnar is off because maglore is doing that, and maybe we could survive in the obsidian pyramid; and the 5 of us can't make a universe; . architect is off limits... don't you get it!~? - obsidion gentlemen obvs we've interacted with powerful fiends; but baphamet is probably the most rational, most interested in reality staying as it is; but he just wants it to suck - where he's a powerful demon and it woudl suck ...

full potential of stones are still to come - 4 stones can keep holishnar from coming; but kronk forsees a great battle in the battlefield beyond time between gods and demons; we must bring what allies we can... if we are to allow the 4 stones to work their power...

Cal the dragon Angelic being trapped in the temple in the Duchy (come on pass the dutch, shake shake shake shake ya stuff baby) Holy-phont - lulu Feyweild Obsidion Gentlemen Giant Vikings Big Whale RIP Turtle Snail God

Cheeky met strange and terrible beings in the shadowfell

Underdark -

One gem in sufficient to draw holishnar through into the intermediate reality/into material plane Giants gem is missing to us - we don't know the color Marquis - Red- maglore got that necklace BLIND CYCLOPS PROPHET

Two things will protect you - the gems can be anchoring on reality and self care

In a way he was lost; when he contacted the architect BUT NOW HE IS FOUND obsidion pyramid is behind US NOW!!!

Jan 22

Ka-ess grabs the pick and digs through dimensions to a Feywild-y place. Back fill it as we go. We = Ka-Ess, Ardrick, Sathul, Cheeky. Come across walking hut thing we've seen before. Cheeky sees the host as a silvery eyed, many toothed being. Tendrills of darkness connect it to the banjo. i got a headache.

AVOID BEEF We're in the feywild methinks... we're being followed by something very large. warmup- childhood nursery rhyme. Jabberwaake?

March 27

Sathul takes an invite in a black envelope from a porcelain masked being. Knock that knocker. Get into this antelope joint. Tall ceilings. Very quiet? Surprisingly quiet? Stage with red curtains. Singer with mask like the one we saw in the alley. Sad singing. "Play, perform, or pay. Choose" - Divine sense, there is a lot of damn evil here. So much that I pass out. I awake. I feel like I'm helped up and I see the person that I saw at the obsidion pyramid who gives me a thumbs up and walks towards the stage. Points to a being in a purple cloak and shakes his head. I see it's a mind flayer tentacle out from under the purple cloaked beings mask. Pay perform or play to all of us. Ardrick performs a DRINKING GAME.

Mara - crimson vails show Tabaxi storyteller And others... I also talked to a contortionist friend... who is not missing and we're supposed to meet up with

Illabrar - shadows lagging Ka-ess - can see only reflection Me - tall man much evil Ardrick - Sathul -

I know there is an ilathid in the room. I need to choose which thing I'm goign to do. Which is probably perform. Maybe I'm going to lean into the missing tabaxi storyteller thing in a comedy routine? i dunno.

April 17

RECAP:

So it's the eldritch forces that want to sabotage our world? Silent antelope - a cabaret bar thing that we went to while investigating some murders? Three eyed antelope!? Had to perform or gamble to get in. I identified a mind flayer - went behind stage, following it's shadow. we saw the long man's hand and a trap door made out of flesh and eyes. one of the dancers that had gone missing, appeared at our table. and told us to go to the third door and knocked on it. ka-ess and sathul went somewhere and knocked on door. Door opened into void. there was a platform with a bronze door. we felt the presence of holashnar the first hunger. we saw our shadowy echos fighting the bone mother and the dark lady. the obision gentlman, the great fungus, and a girl in a red cloak. kicked through a wooden door in the void we followed ardrick after he sunbeamed a dark lady. go through a door. find ourselves again. the tower home of our neighbor. he was more surprised to see us this time, second time in like 48 hours. excellence then made us some tea. Excellence senses a fiendish flavor to the antelope - rare but not unheard of for mind flayers to work with fiends. There needs to be something worth the mind flayers time, because they are willing to bargain. asked about the games and performances. doesn't like that maglore was around. the gal is most likely dead, and it was a ghost. WHAT ABOUT THE TALL GUY - WHY DOESNT EXCELLENCE KNOW ABOUT THE REALLY TALL GUY!? the show was going to be a ruse to draw out the element that was causing this. Cheeky goes the basement for some insight in this damn dungeon as to what's going on with these fiends or something: 1) shadowy vision of the future battle that we saw after going through door - we're fighting but we're overwhelmed, but only for us... so we need allies to fight back against them if that is our future 2) i ran into salera moonvail - she said she had seen these tall masked figures - they're not just anything - so whoever or whatever is abducting these people - so we're trying to draw the killers out, she might be useful the figurehead, or, the travails and burlesques of a painted lady much visited by tragedie: a comic operetta in five partes tall cloaked figure - on balcony

May 8

We had been looking for missing performers/artists/sex workers in Port. Masked robed figures invited us to the Silent Antelope. We engaged in performance. Shadow reflection gave us a clue. Separated shadow of illithid led us somewhere We had a battle around a stage. It's a pitty that you don't have more friends... Missing dancers appeared on stage after the violence after the demon was defeated... The audience is violently ill or unconscious. Wow... what did we do? Ka-Ess blows the black spiral horn - no noise - but it summons a giant Minotaur that is covered in scars. Red eyes. Smells of sulfur and decay. I have waited in the shadow... you are bold to sound the horn... We send the minotaur to sit in the balcony, but he scares the audience who awakens. "HORN BLOWER. YOUR SHOW IS QUITE AMUSING" - Ka-ess wants the show to go on.

May 13

Strange dark robed figures in porcelain masks. We got one of those masks post our battle in the Antelope.

Shadow of the ilithid. Long man's hand... tall guy... theme.

Extravaganza and Review - summoned "the question that devours" - he poisoned everyone, but we were immune due to hero's feast. We fought and defeated him. Spiral blood with 3 bleeding eyes were etched into stage. Black spiral horn and procelain mask - horn summons the Minotaur - MORETH COOL THE QUESTION THAT DEVOURS - (Not Satan (GM):Morith’kul, the Question That Devours) Thamus Core?

He did not attempt to destroy us. Was not amused by our performance.

Once warden of the night spiral - had served him before .. mind...

WARMUP: What is the next outfit or item of clothing I want to purchase.

Baphamet info: 3 locations for research - marquis has library in port skaug, wandering stone giant library in underdark best but hardest to locate library, and library in the tower in freeport with the kind of friendly skeleton librarian; drax tower.

Going to marquis ->
or something. tattoo of spiral on his shoulder WITH the eyeballs>justin takes this TATTOO!? invite for midnight cocktails and a fine carriage arrives to take us to the marquis'ses. crucified individuals, clad i black along path. appear to have met violent ends prior to crucifixion. marquis wants to hear stories and also watch nubile dancing lads.
[[[recall: did Ilabrar got red gem back from cousin and maybe we also got a purple gem, and it was extremely unpleasant. ]]]
note that when the gem "goes on" vibes are better in the room.
Gem, tattoo, think very hard, have you seen the spiral symbol before? YES EVERYWHERE. Has it always looked like this, or has it changed? The eyes are new. Some signs that reality is changing in some way, and don't like the notion of this! Labryinth leads us to TWISTED. REALITY. AH.
evil portraits presented by marquis > RV signed portraits You have the run of my library and librarian > Grasp Tharn !?? Very thin bald, hunched man. Eyes that blink less than you'd expect. Mount Vorthakul. section of tabaxi texts. as i go through this, there is an elusive and archaic poem in an older book - cat lord who is given epithets over the years... gets a new one -<<< he of whom Baphomet is afraid... >>> Close connection to inhabitant of the mase can get us there? Ally, cousin, alias to Baphomet > dark hunger Baphomet and minotaur - not too unusual. BUT WAIT.

REAL LIFE: LMAO a fairly normal human who doesn't blink as much as you want.

Sarah and or Cheeky took a break and then returned...

We headed east towards Kothas to get to that minotaur homeland over in the SE of this flat world.

Labyrinth is on Kothas and evil dude is tied to it. Baphomet fears the cat lord!

Port of Essos. There is smoke and smell of unburied dead on the air. THAT DAMN SPIRAL ON A FLAG. Small boats of peeps heading toward larger boats with a golden two bitted battle axe that is the sigil of Bragen the Minotaur... Ka-ess goes in... then hops out and orders cannon fire. We came in a lot hotter than I thought we were?

Blind minotaur - Demarcos keeps referring to someone called "the unbroken" who is a war leader allied with Bragen. There is a battle at honey bridge, because the demon worshipers are trying to come across and must be stopped.

We encounter the largeste minotaur we've ever seen who is effectively holding off the minotaur forces that are heading from the south side of the river...

Mid june... this is a mid june...

We enter a colosseum as broken as I feel today. We see strange glyphs pulsing near the crack in the central pit. And we hear humming/drumming come from below the arena. "One of you will lose your shadow and this will open the door" You must make a spiral of bones around where the doorway will open, but we don't have to worry... but people have been murdered everywhere... so there are plenty of bones around... Record the rune! Pretty credible job copying the symbols in the pattern I see them... Seem to form a sort of a spiral pattern. We put some bones in the shape of the spirals... We enter a bed chamber with a large bed in it but possibly She does not seem surprised to see you... Take something of his, bring him here to obsidion pyramid, she gives us a mirror to look at objects to be able to see if they are the madnessed dude's. the labaryinth has things in it that will find us. large room. rotting or burnt wooden stage at one end. broken benches in front of it. was it a theater?! (SD has Large bone hands running a puppet show. The bones are bound by silk threads... THE PUPPETS LOOK LIKE US.

July 1 - A new fiscal year

3 doors: door of salt - hall of statues - evil king ilabrar in an altered timeline; found a cloak pin; melted a statue; long hand man released? Beginning to enter the arena, people in it. Wake-up routine/morning routine/adventuring, ship, home. Flaming skull arrives. He informs us he's guarding the arena. melty candle = demon guy? Grey render -> large vicious hunter, physically powerful. Blue thing -> spirit troll - can regenerate health > force or psychic damage. Undead bone claw -> evil wizard who tries to transform into a witch and fucked it up. - ivory needle shard guy They fight each other a little bit. Grey render - there is a hint of intelligence in its eyes, the grey renders are super dangerous, they're quite violent, but has strong desire to bond with intelligent creature.

BIG CHOMP

Need to defeat the dude near the obsidian pyramid Found the thing that belonged to the dude. cloak Hand of the very long man seeks us across the multiverse. Battled in the arena. I bonded with a grey render.

Token or object and who is the person - cheeky has a shard, piece, bit of her uncle's magic staff that she uses to write with sometimes.

Emerge from the portal and sand is turned from glass. Fortress on the hill toppled over. Air is too humid, feels like steam.

Absolutely massive red dragon visible. Bridge is wrecked. A dragon came and fucked this town up. Not an ally of Baphomet. Can't forget that I have a broom of flying.

July 17 yes yes

Absolutely massive red dragon visible. Bridge is wrecked. A dragon came and fucked this town up. Not an ally of Baphomet. Can't forget that I have a broom of flying. The dreaming flame dragon... Dragon woken up from a volcano north of hear... this dragon is likely that dragon. It had been sleeping/absent. Bragen is dead. Spear and Axe in hand covered in blood. Blood is degrading weapons... jeezus. He's burnt. Broken bones. Red dragon scales by body.
Equiv to wizard or sorcerer. Scales are twice the size of Cal's/Kal's.

July 22

Recap: Went to labyrinth where Baphomet lives. We interacted with a team of folks using puppets that look like us. We went to a hall / door of salt. We interacted with statues, but Ardrick melted one and I found a cloak pin belonging to Baphomet - we can summon him in the obsidian pyarmidn where we could trap him!!!!

We released the hand of the very long man again; we fought a series of monsters; we defeated all of them except the one that imprinted on me that's not very cute.

We emerged from a portal back into Essos. The city was destroyed by an ancient red dragon. Our boat is gone, but there are fewer corpses than we would have expected. Headed east on our fey mounts looking for Bragen the minotaur - Bragen's forces are known as the red horns. He and his forces refer to their enemies - the current hierarch? - Horn Breaks

Warm-up: heard variosu stories about how Bragen was know as Bragen Red Horn

Game: As we journey east; see a hill with burnt grass; see a solitary figure emerging from the smoke. it's a minotaur in crimson armor that is scorched and has melted onto their body. Messenger or herald heading toward city, Sathul speaks to him. Comes with news from Bragen from teh east - great armies and demons stalk the land; a force of red horns have taken the port village of kaiarnos - Bragen is beseiging a fortress or engaged in naval action or both; have to take to sea or fight our way through enemy forces and demons on land; closest red horn group is a few days east on the coastal

Smooth black stones buried in ground and there is a humming sound coming from them. SKRYYYYY - The ship is totally invisible and the ship is heading east. I sleep outside the stonesand I see everyone inside the stones lying more more still than usual; fain dust or ash comes off the stones and surrounds my friends; the stones begin to hum louder than they had; I think I see the silver eyed cat before everyone wakes up

August 7

Damn. I don't think I saved my notes last week...

Returned to essos from procuring the cloak pin from Baphomet - so we can summon him and then trap or combat him in our pyramid/obsidian pyramid.

Ancient red dragon had destroyed essos.

Red horns were nowhere to be seen. Velcos the unbroken died fighting the red dragon.

We met someone else who said the land route was dangerous but that we could find Bragen by sea. So we went over land to the town of ____ on the shore and then got on a boat from a rude minotaur sea captain.

Determined the fishwife was invisible but still existing.

We sailed east. We were attacked by demons. Make it around the boot and head north toward the city where we think Bragen is. There is a storm of black clouds and lightening. A terrible blow/gail

Storm outside of our bubble is much much worse.
There is a reef revealed by the waves and we avoid running aground on the reef.
There is something unnatural about this storm; wave and rip tide and Ilabrar spots it, heading the ship correctly to handle it.
Having trouble navigating. Ship becomes lost. I fail a dexterity saving through and suffer 10 bludgeoning damage. Ship is also less sturdy and maneuverable now.
We spot a potentially allied vessel, that is pretty hagard, and there's a winged figure coming up behind the ship. Seems like a demonic creatur.

August 14

Oh yeah. I ride dragons.

Strategos Myronax Drakonomachos - dragon slayer; Kyretos Iron-Binder Alkryon the Tide-Breaker Aylin Karagöz - semi translucent, interlocking shards of crystal, glimmering eyes all over. Presence bends light and sound. Good vibes.

Dragon being would rise again; Ancient tales Blue light crystal that takes over and wins against the SPIRAL!? Worlith the Warden

Blood moon; weather and eclipse thing; Sartock; golden stag. Fishwives tell us about minor escapades the ship is fine and the crew is fine; we don't have any details... like they signed an NDA.

Dead giant - say what!? Horny werewolf; dead giant; siege eve... what's next!?

Sept 11

When last we met - Bragen had engaged in a brutal civil war, for leadership of minotaurs. Second group to go under temple Spell that will take the walls down. Little man with too many keys. Open the gate of the fortress for you. Fought a band of demons who were performing a ritual on a mind flayer, killed them and the mind flayer.

Warm up: Famous murder we're aware of or have witnessed... Look in pockets of demons or mind flayer - an eyeball in a pouch; and then some sort of unnaturally heavy item.

ITEMS TO GO IN THE THING: Boat that rows itself in a circle (700 gold pieces)

Free him from the stone OR Kill him in the stone

Free the guy from the stone. Ka-ess talks to the creepy stone man and then gets When the second moon rises the next night, take this key, cast it into the ocean, and the gate will open

October 30

Worked with Bragen to fight some forces with Baphomet. Returned to the pyramid and trapped baphobet in the pyramid Another demon summoned into the pyramid A tree now has a horn in it And minotaur vanishes from our uncanny chess board. Dark lady tries to arrive at pyramid and [some] dude scares her off. Arm takes coral spear and give to Kronk. Goblin casualties. Took tree path to a place to find Bragen. His large forces leave a trail, following an older wagon road. Ancient ruined standing stones are in kothos - hear chanting, see flames, as the sun is setting. I'm sure that a fiendish or demonic thing is being chanted into this world. I can feel the presence edge through. We fuck up their magic. Move along and feel like we're getting closer to Bragen's forces. Two armies in combat. Clashing at ford in river. Hierarch's troops and a hill fort that is partially ruined but currently occupied by the Horn Breakers. See the Banner of the hierarch indicating he's personally present at the battle with the horn breakers. We see Bragen's forces clashing with horn breakers. War horn is sounded from hill fort and forces break apart briefly to rest. sent scouts who have not returned. ogres are helping hierarch, led by giantess - a hag that is also a giant

November 5

We came to where Bragen is and his cousin was making a last stand.
We were dispatched by Braggen to assassinate the generals of the hierarch - Mother of Thorns
Barbarian minotaur, ogre body guards, and then the army is coming up from the south...
Allied force of ogres led by mother of thorns - so since she's gone, they'll leave / fall into chaos.
We send a message to Bragen and then peace out via a tree. Ka-ess does a cool illusion thing of mother of thorns.

Black ships... approaching. Yellow flags.

"How many ships does it take to get to the center of the... ohhhhh"



Black fleet shit goin' downnnn - lightening, dragons, and storms oh my!
