WitW - Session 23
Anar ran over to the deteriorating Amir, casting a high level detect magic. This version of Amir was convinced he was the real one. Jeatz put some of the Amir-sand into a vial, saving it for later.
Lord Anar cast dispel magic over Almyre to double check she was real. Much relieved that she was, Anar laid out how Amir came to be. The Wizard cast an altered form of mass polymorph concentrated into one creature, giving the form. The golem also had a permanent glibness spell cast over it, so that even the golem was convinced he was the real Amir. Anar is concerned that Amir is truly lost. Anar asked the party track down the Amir that was loose in the summer court, so they headed off towards the gardens.
Horace was able to find a fairy that brought them to the casino. They were shrunk down and invited into the Casino, and given free drinks thanks to Princess Alura's attendance. Zazzle let them in, saying Spingle, the owner would come by and talk with them later.
They then imbibed on their free drinks, courtesy of Glitter with whom the party was enamored, and playing games of chance! Almyre ordered some Arak, Jeatz top shelf whiskey,a nd Horace was surprised with some Swamp Water.
Jeatz hit an absolute jackpot playing the 3-daice slots. Horace chose the tiny elemental races. Time and time again his bets for Earth fell flat, until his final bet, he won back exactly what he bet across all three races. Almyre played safe bets, and made a sizeable profit. Jeatz gave Glitter 500 favor as a tip for the group
As they were winding down, Spingle came to speak with them. He said it was odd timing they were looking for Amir as he's been asking deep, probing questions about their business. Spingle insinuated their winnings was them being paid off to never come back. Spingle said they might want to talk to the Tabaxi. Glitter asked they leave, and the party tried way too hard to convince her to follow them. She gave them a hint the Tabaxi like the hang around Noodle Noodle.
The to-go drink didn't grow to their normal size, so Horace gave pascal the drink, and pascal surged with wild magic. This resulted in glitter following them out of the casino, latching onto Horace.
The party stopped by the market on their way to Noodle Noodle. After some sheepish (thanks to Glitter's polymorph) shenanigans from Jeatz, they spent some money. The bought few things including a lucky stone from a three-eyed man and a few barrier tattoos. An Eladrin not too fond of humans fought with Horace- Horace bested him, and in the crowd that gathered, Jeatz heard someone say he would be a good candidate for the fight club.
They arrived at Noodle Noodle, and were surprised to see the circus troupe they met in the spring court. They said they Fled the spring court because they were attacked by a shadow-version of their donkey after darkness consumed it. This lends credence to the warning of the growing darkenss in the spring court. They fled as fast as they could across the desert and now here, they are eking out a living busking. Glitter's time was up with the group, and Jeatz asked if they could be brought back to the Casino as performers.
Just as the troupe left, they saw a well-dressed tiefling at the bar who looks to be CeCe Emberwhisper's father.
