Notes
- Branded Rhalzar Biskarr in the crotch instead of branding Elsa Toth. Iconic.
- Found a letter in Darrius Biskarr’s pocket: “Invitation to a Midsommer’s Night Song” — rest of the letter is blank.
- Received the Chwinga blessing at the jungle waterfall camp: a tiny forest spirit appeared on his lute tuning knobs. Permanent. Effect: +2 to survival checks at night, and can see the stars (even through overcast/canopy).
- The Chwinga blessing permanently bars Isilrod from entering Aldani-blighted/cursed spaces. The dragonfly-statue door confirmed this — smoke spider alone wasn’t enough, and the Aldani ward read Isilrod as a blessed soul and locked him out. He stayed outside with Lilith during the temple run.
- Sings “Lily White Lilith” (by his bard mommy’s favorite band Genesis) while camping — Lilith didn’t hear it but Isilrod connects it to their guide.
- At Old Tin Top’s, performed “The Old Mountain Keeps Eating Away” in round one of Midsommer Night’s Song and advanced to round two.
- Won the 284th Midsommer Night’s Song and collected two pieces of magical sheet music from Old Tin Top: Old Tin Top’s Song of Home and an untitled healing/summoning song that can call Old Tin Top and restore the party.
- In Session 14, used Stinking Cloud and Dissonant Whispers to control Siegfried, force him onto the dragon trap, and ultimately land the killing blow from across the cavern.
