Hexcrawl 37 - Death in the Feywild

DnDNerds!

Half-drow warlock Rasprax leads Sly Zib, Chaz, Jorgrim, new tabaxi rogue Swift Current and new barbarian Oneiros on an adventure to find out what's happening in the Feywild. They make their way from the Stone Circle to the feywild portal leading into The Night Garden (see episode 02!). After Sly Zib is charmed by a dryad, he is knocked unconscious by Rasprax to keep him from wandering off. When he and Rasprax come to blows a second time, a second critical hit with the Staff of the Adder renders Sly Zib dead, but it turns out that strange things happen to dead goblins in the Feywild, and Sly Zib Uppercut splits into his good and bad selves, only one of which will rejoin the party. As the group explores and tries to find out more about the mysterious Mother Wormwood, they come upon a situation with a tree, some pixies, and some polymorphed Redcaps that turns into a battle. Chaz is stomped dead by one of the redcaps, and the party has to get creative to deal with the threat. Apparently strange things sometimes happen when halflings die in the Feywild too, because Chaz manages to come back as a gnome! Rather than try to rejoin their native plane, this group decides to stay in the Feywild and continue their quest to discover Mother Wormwood's lair.
