In Leaf's End. buried Unknown casket here mentions dragon horn keeper.

Concerns black dragon cultists are inhibiting the flow of magic items.   white tree rumors. 25  I SAID IT

Ilya responds." i heard you were drunk. Vas told me. so funny. unearth the casket. keep us in the loop."

Ilya does not normally pay as much attention to me as Vas. Khashana is giddy

khashana tries to cast greater resto on the lady. 

ivy is upset. khashana  is determined. 

"are WE SURE she is dead?? she is Unknown? how do we know?"

Viantha. we've had lots of strange things happen with bodies. i need to try.

jeth telekensises the corpse while I use greater resto.

nothing happens. sadly. 

khashana tries to find the horn. fails. 

ivy opens the fabric and the drawstring on the cloth makes a cinch when pulled. some head covering. solid piece of fabric.

ivy puts it on. everything is pitch black. just wearing fabric on her head....

transparent. NOT giant. billowy and flow

ivy offers it to everyone to try. khashana sticks her hand in it and it does nothing.

jeth asks about if we are taking it or putting it back in the tomb.

dorbin looks at it with impressive magic eyes.

reminds him of the veil of guiding. must be attuned to.

paired with an object. it will guide to you to the location of something. Khashana takes it back and puts it on her head. She has too much items on her attunement. puts it on anyways

smig is nervous about this strange cold shift going on around him.

dip in temperature means he is in someone's territory.

jeth wants to check on the books. dorbin and jeth go.

jeth and Lyn speak about the fruits and her research into it.

the ripple effect of magic and how it has changed the forest over time.

white apple. was fond of the fruit and wished to pass it on. it was known to cause happiness. ithula's young harvest.  overtime, the tree started to produce sweeter fruit. glorackendir (Glaurachyndaar?), planted the seeds./ people started sleeping under the tree, waking with no memory but they were happy. then the records are blurred. later, mentioned the tree cut down and fruit smuggled out.

unknown history since.

maybe this is not from the original tree. Lyn read it somewhere in a book from the royal city. burnt down all the trees in their area. multiple trees? any left? 

another apple book: studies on fae foods and fruit. don't eat fruit in the Feywild. these apples included. 

jeth asks about the people who lost their memories. a footnote on happy slumbering people dying and passing into the ground. bones littered at the feet of apple trees.

when the acting mayor asked about all this, Lyn mentioned it but no one wanted to believe her.

passive, in the background but MUCH more sinister.

"gotta go cut down a tree" is not the answer people wanna hear when looking for missing children.

Guild wasn't sure how to respond.

any notion of the site of original planting?  twisted branches do change themselves so it's hard to pinpoint. the history of the woods. 1 name changes many times, can find a trace. brings out of map. tugbee's wood. logging camps are around there as it produces fine wood. dundertin is near there. that's a newer place in the woods. logging shacks. there is a mayor there. 

dwarvish fellow. hornthane??

ships their wood mostly to elven port than leaf'send.

river to elven port.

this loggin area replenishes itself.

Jeth mentions how we can thank her. she asks for firsthand accounts of our time in the woods. jeth had to dismantle his ledgar and asks for a new one.

jeth wants a fancy one. Lyn will keep an eye out for fancy one. maybe when we return. We should be passing by at some point.

khashana stays behind. takes off her staff of healing. for this veil. maybe offer the staff to smig? or jeth? NEITHER can>

ivy stays to enture the lady again.

Safira has my staff.

ivy gives me an eye.

is the barrier still around? can we exit and enter? yes. and yes.

ivy is curious about this veil.

khashana attunes. visual flash

sunken set of stone pillars. off kilter. a couple stairs leading into a dark patch, overgrown with vines. kinda foggy, humid. looks tropical more. vision quickly dissipates. I feel this light pulled. my foot wants to take a step. an urge.

Let IIya know???? (did I say this 2/1/23??)

khashana shares with ivy. 

seems to be pulling towards the branches.

not sure of tropical. ivy isn't either. unusual for the area

flash of imagery again and the pull again.

smig makes it over finally, chatting up the elves. runs through the fog.

talks about his adventures.

regroup!!

do we wanna meet the elves?

khashana wants to met the owlbears.

dorbin and jeth meet siona and annaleah.

are you friends with the large firbolg with the large coat?

Being hunted by demons and needing saving. and talking A LOT.

jeth invites them into the fog.

siona looks at khashana and judges harshly her veil.

khashana doesn't like her.

speak to animals with an owlbear.

chasing a dog thing with flames. 

ran into furry friend. 

space man. how much space he takes up

smig interrupts and introduces everyone.

word papers. talk to jeth. he is good with those.

analeah mentions dunderton afte jeth mentions his theories.

tracking fiendish influences in the area. wanted to see smig back here safety before going home.

Smig is in pain.

Ivy heals.

Smig brought back kaissa's sister from hell into our world because she was a good person. (Elka Hornblade)

how did you do that??

smig gives us a talk about growing up and taking responsibility.

did elka ask to be brought back? Smig didn't really ask permissions.

this is why hellhounds are chasing him now.

elka did come along with him. she didn't technically ask but she was willing.

maybe we should visit the sisters at some point. hopefully they are not in hiding or dead.

she is safe., her family doesn't actually know. she might have a new name.

maybe it's by Leilon. who knows.

this is all in the past. she is in the present elsewhere. here are some new friends.

wondering about weird horn, weird dead lady, weird fruit, weird fabric.

siona is shocked that we dug up princess arabea.

ivy tries to explain her intentions.

shocked that there is actually a princess here in leafs'end. wonder if the tomb has always been here.

what's this fabric. on khashana's head

khashana isn't comfortable sharing about the veil. she doens't know these people and their intentions. this needs to go back to the dragons. 

smig casts detect magic.

khashan doesn't normally lie.

khashana doesn't want to share. too manty people want this item and it should only go to one spot. not comfortable sharing. 

almost asks about a tropical place. then stops and goes to the owlbear instead.

smig confesses that the baliff of avernus wanted to bring him back to a trial. we might be chased.

khashana asks mr tiny in his head if he knows of anything tropical. doesn't realy know anything. nope. sounds like a place that his cousins mentioned. warm woods. elven port people visited and didn't come back. they only keep the town safe.

jeth mentions them returning to elven port.

the elves want to share information. askes khashana if it's okay. shana is fine with all sharing of information ecept this one item.

we go through a list of everything we need to do.

mention rakshasha. siona warns us about 3 who travel together. they are dangerous. head of guild.

rakshasa tricky.

gotta tell my dragons about my veil and the pull.

Unknown princess tomb. Found veil of guiding. Wearing it now . there is a pull. a vision. sunken stone pillars.  stairs , overgrown vines. foggy, humid. tropical ? 25 words

siona and analeah write a note for reward that we bring to elven port.

MUST murder the tree. that is BAD.

tomorrow morning, should leave into the branches.

if heading to dunderton, they can come with us for a bit.

if we pass them in the morning, let them know if we want them to join.

siona reveals that smig wishes we asked him more questions.

siona and analeah will make camp outside.

siona does pause at khashana and says that she hopes i found what i am looking. it's important to have a goal.  and walks away.

i think i like her. i wouldn't mind travelling with her but I'm worried about the horn. I will talk to my dragons.

khashana mind links with jeth about a possible vacation where it's warm.

moonshae isles.

khashana explains that the owlbear told her about warm woods where a group of missing people never came back from.

kashahna has never been. 

i would tell jeth. a bit.

i had a vision when i put on the veil. it seemed tropical. that's it.

jeth recalls a pennisula or island. "cholt". sprawling jungles and arcane magic and happenings.

cholt 'being infested with undead"  (THIS WASN"T SAID> NOPE)

Cholt is VERY far. strange. but floating cities did exist. 

only told jeth and ivy.
