The party helped clear out arachnids that had overrun her home. The party had to travel south to fight spiders and eventually a drider. Xavier likely got cursed by the drider or possibly Mofit. Mofit disappeared but did not seem to be in trouble. Xavier kept intermittently getting visions of Mofit and the drider.

We followed a dishevelled looking boy that arrived at Port Mirandia in search for help. We did not get many coherent details other than a danger in the Small Folk Forest, which is south of Port Mirandia. The boy gets consumed by spiders that originate from a cave in the Small Folk Forest. We decide to enter the cave to take care of the threat of the spiders. After an ambush by arachnids, I was told by the spiders to turn back. The party agreed to turn back for now. On the way back to town, we helped fix a cart for merchants at the behest of a possible owl spirit.

We went with Bonnie to see Destra and the librarian to ask about Charlotte’s father. Bonnie had memory problems. We ran into Sylvester (Sly). The party found a black mass above Destra’s castle. I offered up a copy of his memories to the librarian for information on Charlotte’s father. The librarian asked us to look for Sizzle (Sly’s sister) and informed us that as a result of Destra’s spell going wrong, Destra was split into multiple versions of herself. The same thing happened to Vivi. Vivi combined with his other version and managed to persuade Destra to accept herself. To get rid of the black mass, we had to protect the crystal that housed the heart of the castle. We fought Rose and other beings that sought to destroy the heart, which was a golden acorn. The three versions of Destra combined back into one. Her spell managed to get rid of the memory problems that Bonnie had and the black mass. We returned to town with Bonnie.

Party was called to help a farmer named Jameson plagued by hostile goblins. Jameson’s daughter Marygold was kidnapped by goblins. Discovered hideout of goblins that served Nerull. Managed to defeat goblins and save Marygold, returning her to her family.

A Christmas one-shot module by DGM. Last session of 2023.

After getting a letter, we went to confront the Master. Gringal joined us but went ahead of us and lost to the Master. We entered through doorway in cave that was a portal to demiplane. Found cathedral where Master was, still possessing Destra’s body. Fought and managed to remove Master from Destra, leaving Master as puddle of shadows. Destroyed owl statues that Master used to hold onto his power. Gringal sacrificed himself to ensure that remaining owl statues would be destroyed and that Master would not escape. We left and destroyed the stone slab, destroying the doorway. Returned to Destra’s tree. Found that Destra had lost her memory.

After rescuing Beralt from the Master’s forces, the party travelled with Clair to find gnome Cleric and ask about Blue, the Master’s lover, and her daughter Destra. Fought evil spirits in the Small Folk Forest. Met Fizzle that could transform into a lizard. Celebrated marriage of newlywed halflings Darcy and Gillian. Fought Master’s servants Ilestra and Alchemist at Destra’s palace. Met with Cleric and his companion Stream.

Asked about how to save Destra who had her body taken over by the Master and how to give Blue a new body. Cleric said only Destra could give Blue a new body. Cleric then took us back in time to talk to past Blue to stand up against the Master for her daughter Destra’s sake. Also talked to past Ilestra. Returned to present and found that Ilestra was alive with new memories and relationship to us. She was no longer the servant of the Master. Cleric did not return to confirm whether Destra’s body was still taken over by Master, so we went back to town.

Summary: After Beralt was taken by a mysterious being known as the Master and his forces, the party searched for him and managed to locate him along with Gringal’s children. Saved them. Also reunited Dredulai with her twin daughters Hastro and Histro.
