The party has travelled to Lugnaquilla, the highest mountain of the Dublin Wicklow mountains and the site of a portal to the Fey Realm. There have been sightings of activity by the strange dark blood shades and other fey around the peak over the last few days and the druids suspect that Crom Cruachs followers are trying to create a beach head to allow more of their numbers to leave the Fey Realm. As such the party were asked by the druids to aid them in what they believe will be an upcoming battle. Bronwyn's uncle Dergant Bergsson, a frost giant from Jotunheim has agreed to come and aid in the fight. The last few times they have fought these dark fey they have not been successful. What will be the outcome of this fight?
CW - familial emotional abuse
Bronwyn has lunch with her biological uncle Dergant Bergsson a frost giant from Jotunheim in Ireland as part of a trade delegation. What family secrets may she learn? Will she discover the change in his demeanour at the banquet in Tara compared to when she last meet him in Jotunheim and he sent a night troll after her? Also the party must prepare for a possible battle that night too. A typical day in the life of the femme fatales!
The party has a lovely dinner with their dear friend and ally Lady Nic Chuilin. Afterwards they have fun enjoying the house warming gift that she brought from Bronwyn. They also prepare for the possibility of Bronwyn's biological uncle Dergant Bergsson, a frost giant from Jotunheim who she has meet in the past and has very mixed feelings about.
The party learns that the house cook discovered someone raided the pantry last night and is not happy. Bronwyn and Nyafua's "medicinal herbs" induced munchies seems to have gotten them in a bit of trouble, at least for Nyafua, as the cook will not get angry with their employer. Nyafua must try to make amends. At the same time Olaf returns from Tara to inform the party of his conversations with the Jotunheim delegation, especially with Bronwyn's uncle, much to Bronwyn's alarm. Finally Selena does some investigating in Dublin of some allies she is now being to suspect may not be their friends. All while the house prepares for a visit by Lady Nic Chuilin, a dear friend of the party who has fought alongside them numerous times in the past.
While the rest of the party spend the day at Arbraccan House helping Selena prepare to cast her regeneration spell to undue the damage caused by the maiming fey curse she was afflicted with Olaf returns to Tara to visit his mother. While there he has an opportunity to meet the rest of the Jotunheim delegation and possibly cause some chaos.
After the visit by Luigseach where the party was informed of the identity of the evil force they have been fighting they spend the rest of the day in preparation for Selena attempting to heal herself of the fey curse which damaged her leg. Nyafua prepares an ointment to numb the leg when the healing begins. Selena spends some time with her clan who are now living on the grounds of Ardbraccan House and Bronwyn meets a new member of the household staff. Hopefully they will have done enough to prepare Selena so she can undo the harm that was beset upon her.
Luigseach, the most ancient elf in Ireland, a member of the elves of the western isles who live on magical islands off the west coast of Ireland has arrived at Ardbraccan House. Having spoken to the druids she is now planning on speaking to the party. The elves of the western isles have the most ancient and most comprehensive collection of records and they have been researching the stone idols which are being stolen to try to find a pattern and learn the plans of the strange, dark fey and occultists who appear to be roaming Ireland. Hopefully with whatever knowledge is shared the party will be able to stop whatever evil appears to be coming.
The estate gardener Megan sees Nyafua leaving Bronwyn's room, appearing to have spent the night. As well as now having to fix this misunderstanding Nyafua also hopes to prepare some painkillers to help Selena as she tries to magically heal the fairy curse placed upon her leg. The party also prepares for the arrival of Luigseach, an ancient elf from the elves of the western isles who has been researching the stone idols in their archives.
After the battle at Tara in which a dwarf vanished from the fight carrying another stone idol the party must now persue them. Hopefully they will find them and hopefully they might find out more about is going on.
