Cleenseau and Duskmire
Kiya’s Recap: Defeating the Gazebo before Teatime

The party destroys the magic holding the Cleenseau portal open, escapes across Duskmire, and agrees to rescue a captive from a redcap fortress.

Timeline

  • Oct 20, 1720 DR: The party arms itself, enters the Feywild portal, fights through the thorn maze, and destroys the ritual knot that keeps the gateway open.
  • Oct 20, 1720 DR - Oct 25, 1720 DR: Five material-world days pass during a journey that feels like only a few hours before the party reaches a pine-forest cottage.
  • Oct 25, 1720 DR: Questioning the goatboy reveals that Izar the Red holds wings that may be Greymalkin’s, and dinner ends with the old lady quietly approving any move against him.
  • Oct 26, 1720 DR: In the morning the party trades for the goatboy, takes directions to Izar’s keep, and marches halfway there before pausing to plan how to help him.
