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.
