A Visit from the Faerie Queen

Image
 (As told by Billykins Boomwacket) Clutching his new shield (made from the bones of his enemies, the Twig Blights) to his chest as he falls asleep that night, Billykin is visited by a wondrous vision -- The Faerie Queen herself.  "You have been quite brave, little sprite," she says. "I think that deserves a reward, don't you?"  When he awakes the next morning, he feels quite spry (HP doubled from 6 to 12).

The Sleeping Giant

Image
DM Summary :  It’s mid-morning and the sun is shining brightly. The haze of the previous day has been burned off. After having spent the previous night in a raucous singing (and drinking) competition, Ossian, Ashildr, and Triactis are sleeping in. Jig (and Pili Pala’s sprite friend Billykin Boomwacket) had already gone off to take the ox cart and supplies around to both Lionshield Coster and Barthen’s Provisions and were back having a late breakfast. They are joined by Sherick, Sildar (who looks much better now), and Arianwen.  Jig tells the others about how she had to take care of a Redbrand Ruffian while collecting the pay from Elmar Barthen at Barthen's Provisions. As they are eating and chatting, a crying Pip Stonehill (the innkeeper's son) and they soon learn that he's distraught because one of his friends had been taken by the Redbrands (along with his mother and sister, on top of his father being presumed dead).  Jig, Arianwen, and Sherick travel around Phandalin a...

The Invisible Sprite Spy

Image
After not learning as much from Harbin Wester, the Townmaster, as they wanted, Jig asked Billykin to stay invisible and hang around the Townmaster's Hall for a while to see what he could find out. So far, he has discovered: Sildar had interviewed some townspeople and discovered that the wizard he is seeking, Iarno Albreck, was last seen about two months ago near Tresendar Manor. Billykin : That Sildar looked awfully concerned about that! Ya might want to ask him about it! Bob the Villager came by to talk to Harbin Wester in his office and told him that something had happened at the Sleeping Giant. Billykin : Ya shoulda seen the fat fool! He nearly spit all over himself and started in moanin' about how he just wants things quiet! A couple of prospectors came in to complain to Harbin Wester about the orcs at Wyvern Tor.  Billykin : They was steamed! They lit into ol' Harbin and gave him what for! It was all I could do to not laugh!

Billykins regales Pili Pala with a tale, over breakfast

Image
As recounted to Pili Pala, by her old friend Billykins Boomwacket, while he slurps soup at the tavern, and she struggles to get a word in edgeways: Ah Pili Pala, that Jig thinks she’s the stealthy sort, but still managed to scare the brasspockets out of her when I snuck up behind her at Lionshield Coster. Yes, indeed, was on my way to find you once I’d heard there was a corgi-riding sprite just arrived in town with a crowd of adventurers,  who else could it be? And then I see my good friend Jig, so I put two and two together...Ah it’s good to see you! So, Jig was done with Linene at Lionshield Coster in jig time (geddit?) and sounded like there was some craic to be had at Barthen’s so I followed along, but thought I may as well stay out of sight after hearing about those Redbrands, and wasn’t I right?  I’ll tell ya, soon as that Elmar fellow fetched the purse for Jig, a coarse-looking lad name of Redbrand Ruffian turned up, and fancied he was going to have the gold off Elmar. ...
