You can use an action to speak the prison's command word (true love), targeting a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. If the target is native to a plane of existence other than the one you're on, the target must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be trapped in the prison. If the target has been trapped by the prison before, it has advantage on the saving throw. Once trapped, a creature remains in the prison until released. The prison can hold only one creature at a time. A creature trapped in the prison doesn't need to breathe, eat, or drink and doesn't age.

Session Number 31: no 20s for 2020 except for the DM!
Game Date: Wednesday, January 01, 2020
Players: Daesyrliniwich (Baiz), Mara (Kermit), Norm (Ojike), Gutbur (Lasarian) Dungeon Master: Talolan
Absent: Zorroth (Zelldeb), Bos'ke (Tundrra)

Flamerule 13 - return to triboar

• The group heads back to Triboar droping Bos'ke and Zorroth at the Frog. While there Mara asks for a mannequin to be built in order to display her dragon's armor. As we go to turn in the 400 flowers and pocket 250gp each, we notice 3 dignitaries entering the Lord Protector's tower.
  
  Mara and Norm visit the Merchant of the day. A Weapon merchant has a Javelin of Lightning, quiver that holds infinite number of arrow and greatsword that warns of danger for sell (500gp each). After hard bargaining and a grumpy merchant, Mara manage to buy the "Oswin's Spear" for 499gp.
  
  Meanwhile Gutbur visit his brother from another mother the smith and picks up a half plate. The group drop the 2 dragon head to be mounted (20gp each) to put up along the one already completed. As the evening set, the only rumors heard at the inn is about a city that vanished way south by Baldur's Gate. Long rest

Flamerule 14 - Money, Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
Next morning the Darathra the Lord Protector comes to the Frog with the 3 dignitaries and wants to ask us a huge Favor. We are introduced to Mirt, an alledged masked Lord of Waterdeep and his 2 henchment. Mirt the Moneylender explains that Waterdeep needs Oswin Spear. He shows us the Harper's pin and the fact that Darathra reached out to him about her predicament. Even if she is the heir to the trone, she doesn't quite want it now. But Mirt explain that something has to be done about Lord Daegul Nevermember. He used to be a Lord of Waterdeep, but he embezzled huge amount of gold from the city and took over Neverwinter as it's ruler. Now he is expending his reach on the Neverwinter region by rebuilding a town named Leilon. Mirt explains that Waterdeep cannot go openly against him without causing a war (and the Lord's armies are away anyway investigating the city holy Eterel by Baldur's Gate that just disappeared, leaving a crater). So instead, by sending us, Oswin Spear who has no real ties to Waterdeep, but are building Triboar's reputation, to Leilon would make sense. The plan is to stop what Lord Daegul is doing down there amd take over the abandon city. Now the city itself is in shambles, mostly a tent city with few wood buildings and the only stone structures under construction is a temple to Tyr. Mirt would protect Darathra while we are doing this mission, that could take a long time to complete. When ask about payments, Mirt explains that recently they uncover a cache of Lord Daegul's stolen money with 250 000gp in it, and said that the Lords of Waterdeep would use 75000gp to pay us upon success. Gutbur packed his things... Mirt gave 2000gp advance money (added to cart money)

Flamerule 19 - On the road to zombies
The group grabbed the potions and rations and set up on the road. The expected travel is 6 days, first the plan was to go straight to Leilon, assess the situation then either go to Phandallin or send message back with what's needed . On the road on day 5, as we get to a T in the road (north to Neverwinter, East back on Triboar Trail, South to Leilon (1day), there's an inn under attack by 4 zombies and 2 wraiths. Roll for initiative. The group promptly dispatch them, not without rolling pretty bad...

Wayside inn - Poor Rolls to end the night
After saving the inn, we go in to spend the night. The owner thanks us and offer free lodging and 1 beer. This is the wayside inn and Marticia is the owner. There's a chef cook that seem to have known battles and a bard as well in the inn and a few patrons. Gutbur investigate the Zombies and see their steps lead back toward the sea (several miles west). We get excellent pie. Norm does some relationship building between the inn and Triboar. Daesy talks about Leilon to get more info but not much is provided. Mara goes in a friendly lute battle vs the bard and get her butt kicked. The only info the bard knows about Lord Daegul is that back when he took power, the group called the Sons of Alagandor were against him, but he just bought everyone around them to gain his position. Group talks to another halfling women named Silon playing harmonica who wants to be a fisherwomen in Leilon.

A big muscle lady comes out from a back room. She is more built than Gutbur and sit at the bar. The owner gives her trouble for not coming to help with the zombies, to which she replies she didn't hear anything in her smitty. Gutbur buys her a drink (well Mara buys her a drink on behalf of Gutbur) but she's not interrested. She shows her bracers with 3 lightning she made.

Session Number 32: Child care issues...
Game Date: Wednesday, January 8, 2020
Players: Daesyrliniwich (Baiz), Mara (Kermit), Zorroth (Zelldeb), Norm (Ojike), Bos'ke (Tundrra), Gutbur (Lasarian) Dungeon Master: Talolan

Scaring children away - Flamerule 20
The group wakes up after a long rest at the inn. Gutbur announce he has a holy day coming in 2 months. Some people think getting ready for Christmas before veterans day is odd, but Gutbur needs 2months prep... As the group is about 1 miles out of Leilon, they come upon a mob of about 50 people, tending gardens and in ramshackle. In the middle of it all, an angry dwarf is yelling to everyone to hear, but no one is. A human in Neverwinter livery is banging on his shield to grab everyone's attention. The dwarf explains that something happened in Leilon, but no one knows. A panic took the villagers out, they blindly followed each other here. The dwarf is asking to see if anyone know what's going on. The most we understand is that fisherman raised the alarms and panic ensued. There are still 2 kids missing from the evacuation.

This is when Norm scares everyone with mirror images of himself. Children from the fortune camp scampers away and Oswin's spears has to corral them back. Once done, we introduce ourselves to Grizzelda Copperwaught the dwarf and the human Sergeant Hazz Yorrum. The dragonborn who indicated missing children is Merrygold Brightshine.

Laying the Law in Leilon - Flamerule 20
We start walking to the village, and about halfway we encounter a group of archers (3) and their boss (3) riding water horses. They all ride with the symbol of Talos (3 lightning bolt) showing. We attempt to stop and parley, but they want none of it. Roll for Initiative!

Mara throws Oswin's spear to launch the hostilities (again, first move of combat is the spear!). After promptly dispatching the higher ranking dudes, the archers, who were useless with Baiz' windwall, attempt to flee. We catch them after Norms's well placed Eldritch Blast blew their wagon wheel and dispatch all of them except one. Bos'ke and Zorroth attempts to interrogate him, only to be met by zealous talks of Talos' will. The only thing we get out of him is that one of their priest is currently in the city.

Time to clean up Talos' mess
The group keep going toward Leilon and enter the city. We notice a Tiefling lady doing a ceremony on the village's warf in front of a group of 6 Talos cultist. Behind the building she is standing in front of, the 2 children are hiding behind boxes. It's only a matter of time before they are found!

Session ends as the group prepare to save the kids.
