Shadows of the Dream War 3 (Gilded Slumber)

Plot Synopsis

In the Dreaming, the party finds that they have really no way to figure out location nor where they’re supposed to go. They find a small fey called Thomas who is a small, flat cut of wood with a single eye, two stick legs and a mouth, tells them he knows where to go to find Charlie in exchange for water from Nathaniel. It rolls as they follow it, but as they give it more water, though, it grows, which increases its speed, which takes a lot of effort. It takes them to a gate, and when they fail to answer the riddle of it’s two guardians, they attack. The guards are defeated and the party is allowed into Charlie’s territory. Using a spell that allowed them to communicate with the powerful Dreamt, they promised that they’d do what they could to help stop the unknown activity disturbing the Dreaming. However, if they didn’t, Charlie would find and kill them for their betrayal. They were then able to cure Charlie’s corruption, and were sent back to Cahyali, where they were conveniently distributed in the general area of whatever Newbie Campaign they chose.

NOTE: Charlie of the Chains isn’t killing anyone, if the players don’t know they’re helping the bad guys it doesn’t count and he’ll be forgiving as long as they change course (which I’m assuming they will because. End game.)
