The Cereal Box:Log/Session 10

Session 10

Wednesday, March 25th, 2010

The player characters were summoned by Billy Goat, who explained first that he was now banned from the FireKeeper's Casino Hotel permanently as repayment to the Wyrd for enriching him. He then explained that while he did not believe that what he did could compromise the Cereal Box, that he knew precious little about the Cereal Box. He further explained that the other Seasonal Monarchs were not forthcoming with information on the Cereal Box, as it was one area they could hold over Billy's Head. Billy explained that he actually knew very little about the Cereal Box despite being a signatory to the original contract. He told them that the original contract could be found in a secluded grove in the Hedge and, with his permission, they could enter it and find the original contract (which was in a box protected against True Fae that any changeling should be able to open). Billy kissed each of them to give them permission to enter the hollow and sent them into the Hedge.

They entered the Hedge near the neutral meeting ground at Binder Park Zoo and stalked some ways. They found a place where bright yellow flowers grew amid the broken streets. Eventually, they encountered a buzzing nest of big eyed cartoon bees and were able to keep their cool among them.

They continued on until they encountered a Lumberjack looking mofo sitting on a stump who asked if they needed help or if he could so something. He elucidated that he was a Huntsman and that he was looking for Carl Crowley. He told them that for information, he would guide them to where they were going. They refused him and he threatened Ernie, saying that the law was coming for him. When they left, he followed them, and then lost interest when they refused to engage him further.

while on the path, they were attacked by a giant monster Dig'Em frog that they evaded until they got through the gate. Once through the gate, they saw a fenced clearing with a ribcage-esque canopy of trees protected a pool of magma with four pillars and a iron cases suspended from those pillars. Hestia entered the magma and tried to open the case, but could not. Alana parkour'd her way to the box and was able to open it without problems. Ernie was able to memorize and copy the entire contract, which consisted of complex legalese, references to other laws and contracts and obscure occult formulae. A few hedge ravens attempted to read the contract and even offered the motley a gold coin in return, but they kept the birds from seeing it.

They got out of the Hedge without further incident and gave Billy the information, for which he was very grateful.

They warned Carl Crowley regarding the Huntsman's inquiring regarding him, which did not seem to put his mind at ease or help him feel ok about things.
