A wonderfully funny one shot that was written and run by the lovely Qorvae, where DMs make the worst players.  And the entire party for this one is made up of dungeon masters.  The party bumbles their way into the Feywild through a magic door in the woods. Once inside, they are met by a series of trees with strange stone rings and some confusing mists. They enter a ballroom full of strange tables full of food, as well as a dance floor full of slow moving dancers. Bam eats the food - unwise in the Feywild.  The party discovers a room with three pedestals in it with three mysterious handles. Choices were made on which handle to take (it was all of them). In their attempt to flee the room, they are attacked by the master of the castle and their minions. The party does their best and then barely escapes the mysterious castle back through the door to the glade.  Thanks to all who turned up and our special guests for participating. Great job, DM Emily on your first streamed one shot!

The party has split into Party A (Ki’Lai, Breeze, Athelstan and Vaelish) and Party B (Altas, Alaric, and Sly). Party A tried to get Breeze out through the balcony and the front door with little luck. Something is blocking their path. Party B reunites within the intact mansion and Alaric drops a bomb about his past. Sly now owes Atlas two plants. Sly was able to pick the lock on the front door, and Party B escaped the manor that way - only to find that the market place is intact and the houses around the square are no longer damaged. Back with Party A, Athelstan decides to go first: going past the doll in the bedroom with the ladder outside it. Once out the window, Athelstan is able to fly over the market and finds it full of people, including Party B. He goes back to look for Ki and the rest of the party and ends up becoming Party C in a completely empty manor. He has a conversation with the doll finally and then returns to the others just as Jorge arrives, and all hell breaks loose.

What they find is wild and untamed elemental chaos in a dim borderland and its solitary guardian, Pyraddys. Can they find their way out? What of the mysterious guardian and his plan?
