Hey, everybody, Chuckles here.

Michael (0:03)

Welcome to Legends of Avantris.

Grant (0:05)

You're listening to Once Upon a Witchlight. Here's what happened last time.

Derek (0:11)

It is here that she revealed herself to be the Kenku you were looking for.

I've watched you look for me in the crowds. I'm looking for my patron, Zabilna. I've not been in contact with her for a while, to a point that is disconcerting. The last that I heard were whispers of a witchlight carnival.

Carlos (0:31)

I believe that whatever happened to her started here.

SPEAKER_6 (0:35)

If there is something unicorn-related you want, you're gonna find it in Pixie Kingdom.

Oh, so you came to get on the Ferris wheel, you want a ride here? Attention, everyone, in Pixie Kingdom, Dionysus Night is kicking off. We are gonna go ahead and get ready. And costume supplied by the Carnival.

Derek (1:09)

How the hell are we supposed to get anything done with you complete imbeciles? And I hate to say this, you might be my only hope, which means I have less than one hope. I heard Mr. Witch and Mr. Light say something. They were communicating to each other. I heard them say, that is where we'll end the session.

You found yourselves continuing to make your way through this madcap carnival, heading closer and closer towards the final hours of the Witchlight Carnival and the crowning of the Witchlight Monarch. It was through some conversation with Burleigh the Bugbear that you have a new mission. Well, you have a couple. One from Mr. Light himself given to Frost, which is to find the Kenku that has been terrorizing their carnival and to apprehend them and bring them to justice. Burleigh, their bodyguard, gave you a little more information, though he trusts his bosses. He knows that there's something up and he wants to find his missing brother and has tasked you with making friends with some of the Witchlight hands in the hope that you can execute a heist and procure one of the items that the owners themselves utilize, the Witchlight Vein and or the Witchlight Pocket Watch, in the hopes that you can use this as a bartering tool. Though Mr. Light told you that bringing the Kenku to him would provide you with the ability to ask him questions and that he would answer them, he did not promise that he would be truthful. And it is the truth that you seek. You make your way through the carnival, there's still much to do, and you still have Madrik, the warlock that sent you on this mission, in the back of your heads, reminding you to experience the whole thing, to not let this one night, this one opportunity pass you by. Though you have many things that need to be done here, there are still hours and there's still lots to do. As you make your way to the Pixie Kingdom and you enjoy the jubilance that you find there, you're able to ride the Ferris wheel and meet a talking hamster named Biscuit, who is in the module, because someone asked. You are able to start your own flash mob to Thriller.

Jellyfish starter, Jellyfish starter, Jellyfish starter.

And through some crazy turn of events, Gricko makes a fey pact with a pixie and betrothes himself to her.

It is at the end of all of this madness, with all of these things still living rent-free in the back of their minds, everything that they have to do, that the Kenku finally approaches you, realizing that even though you are a bunch of ridiculous and uncontrollable heathens, that you still might be her best bet at getting what she wants. Because one of the best ways to thwart people who are as calculated as Mr. Witch and Mr. Light is with a little bit of chaos. And she arranges a meeting with you inside of one of the Pixie houses that surrounds this tree enclosure in Pixie Kingdom. And it is in here that she approaches you, and she begins to speak, telling you that as much as she doesn't want to utilize you, she has no choice, and that there's something that you need to know. And in the voice that she has stolen, clearly from Candlefoot the Mime, she begins to speak.

Carlos (5:09)

There is something you need to know. I overheard Mr. Witch and Mr. Light in their wagons.

Freddie (5:30)

People can overhear what happens in the wagons?

B. Dave Walters (5:43)

Well, I mean, Gibb was able to hear, like, in the other dimensions and shit, so I'm sure he heard everything that was going on.

Freddie (5:48)

I'm sorry to interrupt.
