SAGA 1456: Wedding Bells

The RPG SAGA continues with...
Force Green (a.k.a. Team Tortuga, a.k.a. The Fey Knights Generation 2): Pylia the half-elf bladesinger, Drizmar the drow assassin, Blue the satyr paladin, and Blood the gnome cleric.

DM Note:
The player characters are now level 19 and seem to be bringing this generation's campaign to a close with the plan to retire after getting vengeance against Veersalla. We are also looking forward to seeing the new book Xanathar's Guide to Everything because the timing should be just about right for the group making new characters to start up the next campaign...

SAGA Log 1456: Wedding Bells
Modules: 4E Tomb of Horrors Campaign (Modified for 5E)
Pylia, Blue, and Blood finished their combat with the Acererak-wannabe Caperaktis; Blue pushed one of the undead bodies into the sphere of annihilation! They defeated the demilich skull and the undead body of Orcus; their Ehlonna-summoned unicorn ally banished the undead body of Demogorgon. During the battle, they rescued Drizmar. Cap managed to escape, teleporting out in the construct body.

Post-battle, the team returned to their Feywild palace to rest. Drizmar finally proposed to Pylia, with the help of Blue and Blood. They decided to have the wedding in one week. Blue and Blood spent 280,000 gp to have special magical rings made for Pylia and Drizmar. Pylia and Drizmar spoke with Va'Zarbreena (about House Do'Urden) and Pylia's family (to get help planning the wedding).


Pylia and Drizmar also visited with Ori at his dwarf island and convinced him to come to the wedding (as both their friend and the grandson of Va'Zarbreena) while Glora was tasked with getting Ori's brother (the paladin from Neverwinter) to attend at well. In coordinating wedding security, Blue visited with Oberan the Green Lord, who was upset about Alt-Oran and Daria being back. The team spent the week of down time learning from their magical stat-tomes.


For the wedding, they had an outdoor garden ceremony followed by a reception; all of the important family members and allies of the group were there. Pylia and Drizmar left their gifts at the palace, but went back to their city on Oerth. During the party, Alt-Oran and Daria told Glora they were planning a special adventure in the near future.

The next day, the team finally learned more about Veersalla. They thought about how they first met the villain, the lynx cats they picked up form her lair, and used some legend lore spells. They learned the mind-lynx cats were from Veersalla's homeworld, which they realized was on the star charts from the Tortuga ship; they picked up their ship and retrieved a tome from the family's library at Cobalt Castle, confirming that Veersalla was from Mirth (a.k.a. Merth). They also had their Evermeet allies make simulacra of the team and their new unicorn ally; Pylia made Drizmar's simulacrum since he was paranoid about it. They used their money to gear out their duplicates.

For next time: they want to fly the Tortuga to Merth, capture Veersalla, keep her from eating the heart of a Phoenix for a week, and then slay her. Surely they will encounter some challenges along the way...
