Find The Missing Children

These are the beautiful roses Eleanor used as her talent in the competition. She was so proud of them.

The vision began with a dark and twisted forest, then a glowing entryway, you fell down, deep underground the air was cold and wet. The caves dripped and clinked and shadows skittered along the walls. The wetness was overpowering and seemed to wrap around you like a shroud. It clung to your body, your face, then the waves of water enclosed around you. You were breathing in the water, drowning and choking, and nothing could shake you awake. As the water stayed on your skin, it burned and scarred you, you could see the skin melting then turning black and flaking away. The tips of your fingers were pearly bones that reached out like bleached coral to grab onto anything, anything that could save you. Voices called to you, distorted through the water, but you finally heard them clearly, telling you to return to the present, and you saw a silvery thread of time swirling loosely in the water, you reached out, struggling to grab it without flesh, then lurched out of the vision and back into the forest.

Adalia: where have the missing people been going?

Seer: " The circle is round, but also broken, things end up not where they've come from, but they all end up returning."

Adalia: specifically where is the Abbot family, Eleanor, and Ava?

Seer: " There are many more missing than you know. The family you seek is closer than you think, but much much farther from life than they should be."



Adalia: Did other people disappeared at the festival of light?

Seer: yes.



Adalia: who went missing at the festival of lights?

Seer: "He was a child of music and the forest"

Adalia: Do you know his name?

Seer: I can only see in pictures, but I can show you his face.

Adalia to Galia: Is it safe to let her put a picture in her mind?

Galia: It should be fine. Seer, please show all of us the image

Seer: (nods)





Venus: Do you know who will go missing next?

Seer: I do and you will recognize her (shows a picture they recognize as Adele Greenbrush)

Seer:" We hope to stop it, but sometimes in stopping one, another takes it place."



Seer: Have you found the children, as she has seen the group find them.

Adalia: No. Did any children go missing for the same reason before Grimmur?

Seer: I can't see what takes them, and I can't see the reason, but it is something evil and dark that is blocking my vision, and it starts breaking the circle of the Roueda in Thornyside.



Adalia: (again) Have any other children mysteriously disappeared before Grimmur?

Seer: As the seasons go, one child has gone missing every festival starting at Balansera one year ago, at the festival of balance children have been going missing.

Adalia: "Just one?"

Seer: yes.

Adalia: What changed at the festival of luck?

Seer:Nothing changed, a child went missing, but they might say that two went missing as they are looking for another child. They went separately yet together.

Adalia: Was Mrs. Abbot pregnant?

Seer: I can't tell as Mrs. Abbot is too close to death. They have one more question before she must leave.



Venus: Can she sense any darkness or deceit from the Tanglewoods?

Seer: The Tanglewoods are drowning in darkness and drowning in sorrow.



The seer offers to let them look in the mirror before they go. Galia warns them that looking in the mirror can be dangerous as some people can get lost when they are looking through time and it can take you a few days to find your way back. They all look, but Galia and Venus are affected by dark visions.

There is an iron cage in the attic of the Abbot's home. When Venus touched it, there was a large shockwave of good holy power that exploded out and pulsed from the cage.

​

Investigating the cage carefully, they determined each bar was carved with blessings from all of the old gods. This was something all of the temples had come together to contain a great evil. There was no clear way in or out, so there must have been a key, but they did not find one searching the house.

​

Talking with Sundrop, the house Brownie did nothing to illuminate why they had a giant cage, what they planned on trapping, or how to open it.

A beautiful river flows through the forest, and in the river are beautiful creatures with blue and green hair, green skin, and warm faces. They splash and play in the water, and everything looks idyllic. As you approach, your vision becomes blurred and distorted by mist and you hear screams. You breathe your fire to blow away the mist, and laying in the water there are only two creatures left, black as ash and dead, their bodies gently slapping on the shore as the river’s current lulls them to eternal rest. A deep sense of peace fills you, and you return to the present.

The Queen of the Wyrmwood Court gave the group a small silver bell with intricate, delicate filigree. There were explicit instructions: If they ring the bell once, the fey will know they found the children, ring is three times the fey will come to their aid, but if they ring it twice, they can’t predict the outcome. The rings are all different frequencies, and that one doesn’t always call creatures with good intentions. Belladonna currently has the bell.

A young girl went missing after the Grimmur festival, we helped the guards search but found no traces, even when using Khan and Bjorn.

The Feyblossom Chapter has decided to position us here to help the search.

A city formed before you, resting atop a large hill. The image broke in two, and a black shadow wove through one side of the city, wreathing the streets in darkness, then a wave of blood poured down from the castle atop the other side of the city, drenching it in blood. Water began to well up from the crack between the two and as it touched the blood and shadow, they melted away, but left nothing but the skeletons of people and bones of the houses in its wake. The noxious fumes rose up and up to the clouds where you rested and began choking you. You couldn’t breathe and you couldn’t stop the destruction, just watch as the city crumbled. A sharp pain on your arm brought you back as Juniper drug you away from the mirror.

In her room, Galia has training supplies for Juniper as well as a dart board for practicing with her knives.

You saw a silver ring slipped onto a finger. There was a trail of mushrooms that seemed to glow. You moved on and the pressure around you built and built as the darkness grew deeper until finally your ears popped. A glowing hand, a glowing bull, and a glowing sun appeared before you. Then a bridge over some lava. You see long chains leading into darkness. There is laughter, children’s laughter, but it sounds hollow and distant.The images were quick, small flashes, then the vision broke.
