| - | While the Bishop was away on a mysterious quest, Helga continued to take care of things around town. She sold the corpse of the Ethereal Doppelganger to the University, and received the revenue from Giovanni, who seemed to be doing alright despite having a fire break out and an invasion of Elementals of some kind. | ||
| - | After a few more days, the Party finally was ready to make the journey to [[the Beastlands]] to find the fabled [[The Beastlands#Bow of Thaas]]. They entered a portal located in a private arboreum in the Lady's Ward of Sigil that led directly to [[The Beastlands#Ilifar-In-The-Wind]], an outpost mostly peopled by Avariels, or Winged Elves, on Krigala, the first level of the Beastlands. The city was built into a gigantic tree, and was primarily intended for winged people, but had some rope-ways and other allowances for non-flying people. | + | While the Bishop was away on a mysterious quest, Helga continued to take care of things around town.

They entered a portal located in a private arboreum in the Lady's Ward of Sigil that led directly to [[The Beastlands#Ilifar-In-The-Wind]], an outpost mostly peopled by Avariels, or Winged Elves, on Krigala, the first level of the Beastlands.

| - | He told the Planeswalkers that he had been part of a band of adventurers that included [[The Beastlands#Amakiir]], the Druid who originally wielded the bow, and [[The Beastlands# Allisiphone]], a Water Nymph who also lived in the Beastlands. After he had given up adventuring to lead his people, Amakiir had continued to battle Demons in the Abyss. She was unfortunately slain during such an outing, and Allisiphone had a hand in retrieving her remains from the Lower Planes and burying her, along with the holy bow, somewhere in [[The Beastlands#Karasuthra]], the third level of the Beastlands. | + | The Party was able to easily secure a meeting with their leader, [[The Beastlands#Prince Allarien]], due to the spreading fame of Helga and the Bishop.

| Allarian willingly informed the Party of the whereabouts of Allisiphone, in a pool a few days travel East of Ilifar-in-the- Wind. He warned that we would have to travel through Wemic (Lion Centaur) Country, and mentioned that some powerful druids had recently gone to meet with the Wemics for some reason. At Cal's request, he gave us some symbols that showed we had his blessing, including a bow, arrow and feather. | Allarian willingly informed the Party of the whereabouts of Allisiphone, in a pool a few days travel East of Ilifar-in-the- Wind.

| In another day, they had reached the Pool of Allisiphone. To their consternation, they found it foul smelling and polluted. After calling loudly, they finally met Allisiphone, but she looked haggard and sickly, and was too upset to be of much help. She informed them that something was coming downstream into her pool, but she had no idea what. The Party continued another half-day to where the river connected to the pool. The pollution seemed to have come from much further up. | In another day, they had reached the Pool of Allisiphone. To their consternation, they found it foul smelling and polluted.

| - | As the Party rode up (on summoned horses and the wolves) along the river, Cal spotted something hanging much further up, from the branches of trees. It looked like some sort of effigy made out of a frog which had been rent apart, along with sticks and other debris. Skippy, going up to cut it down, first set it on fire with Alchemist's Fire; he Fire spread quickly to the trees. Luckily, Cal had prayed for Create Water, and was able to put it out before it did much damage. Skippy then completed cutting it off the tree, letting it crash to the ground, where it was destroyed beyond all recognition. | + | As the Party rode up (on summoned horses and the wolves) along the river, Cal spotted something hanging much further up, from the branches of trees.

The Party was still able to determine that it was likely dedicated to a trickster Demon Lord called Fraz-Urb'luu. |

| Immediately after Helga fell, some ape-like demons (Bar-Lguras) bounded invisibly out of the forest and grappled Cal, Martigan, and also Skippy, off the front of the horse where she was riding with the Bishop. Cal and Martigan managed to break their grapples. Skippy tried taunting the one that had grabbed her, but it took no notice. The Party moved to engage the Demons, with Helga flying out of the pit, carrying Toby, but they disappeared (teleported) away as quickly as they had appeared, carrying Skippy with them. | Immediately after Helga fell, some ape-like demons (Bar-Lguras) bounded invisibly out of the forest and grappled Cal, Martigan, and also Skippy, off the front of the horse where she was riding with the Bishop.
