Candlekeep
Session 1
Tied up your sickly donkey outside CandleKeep and spoke with the Gate Warden, Tauriel parted with a rare book to gain the group entrance into the keep.
Had some beers at the Hearth, the bar keep swindled Barnabus and both Valeria and Elmier tried and failed to pick pocket Fembris (their appointed guide during their stay). You sent of Fembris to fetch some books from the great Library (anything on curses).

Barnabus struggled to open an unlocked door to Matreous's study but redeemed himself when he opened an extra dimensional portal with the command word Septer.
Once in the mansion you met a flustered Matreous who was struggling to get out. You made a deal with him to explore the mansion in exchange for him breaking the curse on Greenest. Elmire insisted on holding onto an imp statue that he had in his possession.
You explored many rooms. Barnabus got ambushed by a host of animated swords then you fought off a tornado of books, by setting it on fire while Valeria was in it, it is locked in the patio area.

You met two homunculi, Cumin and Coriander and learned a little about their respective masters. Barnabus then threatened and intimated Cumin into heading into the mist to retrieve his lost dagger.

Elmire noticed a man hole in the ceiling at the top of the stairs and light coming up through the floor boards too. Tauriel spoke with a cat that led you to a bedroom and you all had a much needed rest.
Valeria broke the illusion of the planetarium room by casting fairy fire, then Elmire solve the celestial puzzle.
You worked together with only a small about of betrayal to defeat the chained library, Valeria struck the killing blow. Barnabus salvaged a chained book from the library as a makeshift weapon and the rest of you acquired various books of interest.
Along the way you collected 5 books with nothing written in them but letters on the spine. R, I, T, L, E, Y
