The party are at the edge of the raining lake, although the rain is in reverse, collecting into drops that float upwards. They use their boat box, all having to concentrate to propel it forth in the Astral Plane.
A truly enormous Whale emerges from the water, it has a thousand eyes, the past and potential future's can be seen of an individual who stares into them.
As they navigate they see large areas on the horizon of; black fog, distant sparkles, and white fog.
Travel to distant sparkle, it is actually an endless field of colourful flowers, sprouting out of nowhere as there is no ground.
This leads the party to find a pink colour pool, one eyed birds flying nearby. They assume this to be the pool for the Feywild
Using the Farsight looking glass once more, they now see green hills and trees. They continue floating the boat towards it.
They see more and more signs of a familiar home, a river but with no source, several hills, and a pine forest. But then they see a couple of strange things, a shaved rabbit with glyphs carved into its skin, Crom speaks to it and it sounds like some wizard experimented and sent the creature here. Coins rain down on the ship as items start to fly by. They stop and collect all the coins and find that a magical bag, like their haversack, has broken and erupted its contents into this plane. Other than the coin they find a ring of large iron keys and a list of prisoners held in a notorious prison in Dawnreach.
They reboard their ship and manage to take the boat ever higher as they see a green light among the trees ahead. A clearing with a green colour pool is spotted and they bring the ship down into the clearing before folding it down into its box.
They spy a charming cottage tucked into the forest hills that surround the colour pool, it has carved statuettes in the windows. It draws enough curiosity that they investigate, although some in the party are far from happy to prolong this maddening trip through the Astral Plane.
After a knock at the door, it is answered by an exact copy of Edward Fogbluff. Slightly confused, a few awkward interactions occur and this imitator shape shifts into each of the party members at different points as the conversation slowly opens up. They are invited in and sit inside at a table with this creature. The cottage is full of wood carvings of a wide variety of creatures, animals, humanoids, outer planar beings, shelf loads of them.
The creature introduces itself as Zyranthis, and seems to have an expansive knowledge similar to Edward's fiendish patron, or the Planetar Angel. The only difference is its care free way of navigating through the conversation, playfully mirroring the party in mannerisms and appearance, raising eyebrows with its extensive knowledge. The creature reveals a few details, it is an outer planar creature, a "clipped-wing", a neutral party banished to the Astral that claims to have experienced a variety of moralities from the outer planes.
With nothing exchanged but knowledge and company, the party wish to leave their new friend for their own plane. They are warned about the drop and advised to try and concentrate. They head to the colour pool and take the plunge.
They are falling, once more, falling fast.
