A Lonely Son of the Feywild

Souther Hither Map Manasa, Greg, Melcior, and Amidor are heading to find Weneon, Mycha, and Kilijan, following their footsteps outside the forest. While Melcior was reviving Manasa, Weneon, Mycha, and Kilijan were fighting off a Feybear and made camp on a hillside near the woods. Greg explains to the party that two harengon, Jazz and Flora, have made a pact with Baba Yaga around hundred years ago, and damned the entire harengon race to serving her. He explains to them that he has been trying to help the harengon by removing the course from the deserters amongst them. However, he only managed to save one of them, Zeck. Who has stayed with him ever since in his hometown of Brqua.

As the party reunites, Greg asks them to help him retrieve his bag of holding from the woods nearby, stolen by a thief called Closhar. The party agrees under the condition that Greg will help convince the army in Brqua to join them in their fight against the harengon. Greg tells them that all of Brqua will fight at their side, and tells them that the biggest outpost in Southern Hither is just north of an eladrin rebel town called Revilon. Melcior tells them that she once was a rebellion leader in the Feywild, and show them a draconic tablet that might have the answer when it comes to defeating Baba Yaga. She tells them that the tablet is from The Almenarch, but does not know what it represents. The party enters the swamp and sneaks around a cifri, a corrupted fey-wild creature able to teleport on water surfaces, that almost noticed them.

As the party traverses the swamps near Brqua to find Closhar, they are approached by a fey-hag who warns them that "time is after somebody of them". Soon after this encounter, they hear a ticking sound and a creature approaching. Kilijan casts the rope trick and manages to hide everyone from the creature. They see a mechanical clock-like figure touching all the living things around the area and making them wither away. He leaves, and the party exits their hiding spot. The fey-hag reappears and tells them that Closhar is nearby, but warns Greg not to seek him any further. Cifri encounter The party ignores her warning and they march on. Melcior, who has been reminiscing about her oath to Selena years ago, has enough of sneaking around and matches forward. The party runs after her, as they encounter three cifri, they saw earlier.

Arriving at a ruin cave entrance in the depths of the swamp, the party suddenly hears the sounds of a flute playing. Soon after, Closhar, appears. It is a rather meager fey-like figure with a porcelain mask on his head playing the flute. Closhar Greg tells the party not to attack Closhar and he starts talking to him. During this emotional outburst, Greg demands that he gives him back his bag of holding. Closhar then takes of his mask and reveals himself being an eladrin. The fey-hag appears as well. As Greg stares at them, the illusion of the place is lifted, and we finally see two statues of Greg's parents as part of a mausoleum in the swamp. Greg reaches into his cape and discovers that his bag of holding was the entire time there.

The party leaves the swamp and quickly arrives to the path leading to Brqua. A harengon approaches them from the city, Zeck. Greg runs towards the city and tells the party that they are invited to diner. Zeck looks at the party, who is already suspecting that something out of place is going on in Brqua.
