# Tuckleberry's Tales of Redemption and Heroism, 2023-02-19

#### Events

- After a successful Potato Raid, we move with freed goblins to the surveyor's camp 
    - Hangmor and Greysword scout, establishing us a path towards our destination 
        - Deciding against a ridgeline, we move into a valley that seems closer to the First World 
            - As we move, we discover brownies, little furry fey creatures, traveling along with us. Carmen tosses him some potatoes, and a brownie, Nibs. It informs us that the valley ahead is the Valley of the Old Man of the Woods. The Old Man of the Woods is a forgotten fey being, which has a "forest" that spans time and space. He will cause calamity until groups are split into individuals. At which point, the Old Man will appear before each individual, asking them a question. If the individual answers the question quickly and reasonably, the Old Man will permit their passage, and expedite their travel. However, if the individual doesn't answer the question, or takes too long, or answers with another question, then the Old Man will kidnap the individual and ferry them away to the First World. The questions he asks may seem super technical, but are always riddles; more a challenge of wits than a challenge of knowledge.
            - Nibs takes off, and we head back to the ridge line, to avoid going through the Woods of the Old Man. Carmen takes to the skies, checking for pathways from above. None of them look terribly easy, but some of the are feasible. After some deliberation, we decide to proceed this way. Moving along at a decent pace, we have Carmen's pegasus ferry us across some of the otherwise impassable obstacles. We establish a camp, not making a fire. During the night, we hear voices from the valley, but otherwise are undisturbed. As we continue, the ridge widens and we find a cave. We decide not to visit the cave, and continue along. Carmen takes to the skies to scout, and gets attacked by a massive eagle! It plucks him off his pegasus, and flies him to its nest. He gets eaten alive by a rocling, but kills his way out! His pegasus fights the roc, but ends up retreating back to the party. As they return, the party engages and kills the roc, before getting a roc egg and returning it to the party. Returning to adventuring, Carmen finds an ancient Corinthian-style column broken on the mountain side.
