Party Magic Items Gained in Session 4
-- Ring of Catherine Summoning: Summons 1D6 Catherines for 4-8 hours duration. Unknown number of charges remaining. Catherines appear as a 19-year-old woman in a pretty blue dress. They are all LVL-0, HP-4, AC-10. They have no discernable skills, but when they appear they will seem complacent and happy to help the summoner with anything reasonable. They otherwise act like normal if unusually perky young women. When the spell wears off, a Catherine will usually giggle and say "Oops!" before disappearing.
For Iron Stone, Thom Tom, and the Real Catherine:
-- Faerie Healing Bracelets: Appears as a thin garland of fresh vines, leaves, and flowers around the wrist. Will remain eternally in bloom. Allows characters to cast one heal spell either on themselves or someone they touch 1/day. The spell heals 1D8 HP. If the bracelet is ever removed or cut off, the plants wither and the magic is forever lost. They are as easily flammable as any plant and will also die if set on fire.

CHARACTERS
Thom Tum, Lvl 2 Gnome Rogue
Iron Stone, Lvl 2 Dwarf Fighter
MAY 7-8
-- The group heads into the woods, and make poor progress, barely covering 6 miles in 2 days. They detect something stalking them at night which may or may not be a unicorn
MAY 9
-- Group gets ambushed by thieves and handily fight them off. Most of the group turns out to be made of Catherines and the thieves mostly intended to intimidate the party. They kill one of the three 'real' thieves and take the other two prisoner--a fighter named Jolen and a low-level female magic user named Frito
-- They briefly see the Catherines go into an odd trance as they talk to each other, speaking of things they couldn't possibly see, things that other Catherines may or may not have seen.
MAY 10
-- The PCs get lost and go in a circle, making no progress.
MAY 11
-- First good travel day. At night they are surprise-attacked by a brown bear with too many eyes. The beast partially wrecks the wagon but they manage to put it down. It dissolves into putrefaction afterward.
MAY 12
-- They enter the foothills of the mountains and what appears to be Fae country. They spot a unicorn from far off watching them
-- Their wagon is stopped by two Dryads, Zinnia and Birch, and their 'pet' doll Smithee. Smithee tries to warn them off but the dryads cut off the path as they approach.
-- The dryads recognize Aithen, but he does not recognize them.
- The dryads contemplate keeping the PCs as potential mates for a few centuries, then reveal they had captured Ziassa a few weeks back.
-- They make a deal with the PCs: they need non-magical types to weed out a potential spot of corruption caused by a "Lost One," emanating form a cabin in the woods about two days' travel away. if they do that, they will release Ziassa and allow the characters' group to continue on to Orb Lake.
-- They give the PCs faerie bracelets that will allow them to cast one heal spell (1D8 points) per day.
MAY 14
-- The real Catherine accompanies Thom Tom and Iron Stone, with Smithee acting as guide. They see a multi-beaked crow along the way.
-- They spot what looks to be a small cabin in the woods inhabited by a small old woman and her cat.
-- Thom disguises himself as a child and knocks at the door, claiming to lost. The old woman takes him inside.
-- Inside, Thom notices the woman's cat is undead and she appears to be a wizard struck by the Plague.
-- Thom distracts the woman and rushes into the cellar, only to find a half-human half-eldritch horror like creature down below. After some struggle and an extremely painful bite, he manages to set fire to it.
-- Iron stone rushes the house, knocking the old woman down the stairs into the monster and then disables the undead cat. Thom manages to escape the cellar, and they set fire to the whole cabin, even as many objects within open unnatural eyes at the flames.
-- The unicorn shows up to inspect their handiwork. Thom insults it and the unicorn gives him duck feet for the day.
MAY 16
-- The characters arrive back at the wagon, only to find everyone okay and Aithen feeling better and talking. the Dryads act very friendly toward him, and toward iron Stone who begins complimenting them.
