Session 29
Healing and Protection: Mumma's remedies and artefacts continue to showcase her deep knowledge of the arcane and herbalism.
Hidden Secrets: The house contains many mysteries, from locked rooms to secret libraries and forbidden items.
The Lady and the Occult: Mumma's worship of "The Lady" adds to the growing pantheon of mysterious entities influencing the group's journey.
Dangerous Discoveries: Artefacts, remedies, and plants carry immense power, but also great risks.
Jimsonweed Acquisition: Jupiter acquires Jimsonweed from Capricornus, a highly toxic plant with potential arcane properties for an attempt at creating Champion' Tincture. Capricornus provides a wealth of knowledge about local flora and mentions the Moon Festival, previously child-free, though an Uncle may now be invited.
Unearthly Crystal: Ellen's crystal is confirmed to be not of this Earth and has been altered in some way. She also carries a plant in her suitcase that produces perfume, showing her visions of loved ones and holding untapped power.
Forest Discovery: In the forest behind the house, Imelda finds a small stream where she encounters Grand Admiral Tarn, a mouse sailing a paper boat. Tarn wields a tiny sword and hat, a whimsical but unexplained figure.
Imelda's Healing: Her burns have healed significantly faster than expected, hinting at either Mumma's remedies or the house's mystical properties.
Champion's Tincture: Turns out to be a poison that nearly kills Mars after he drinks some. Mumma creates a white liquid in her locked library to heal him.
Rare Blue Flower: Mumma mentions "The Blue One" as a cure for Jimsonweed. This blue flower with red thorns is likely rare and valuable.
Observations in Mumma's Room:
Hidden Doorway: Imelda investigates the library, noting that the rugs have been moved since Mumma's earlier visit. Behind a hidden doorway in the bookcase lies the "Forbidden Section," which likely contains arcane knowledge or dangerous truths.
Plato's Atlantis: A section in the library discusses the ideal state and moral values of a just society. This may link to Mumma's philosophy or serve as a clue about the group's journey.
The Lady: Mumma references "The Lady," the god she worships. This entity's nature and influence remain unclear, though her artefacts and rituals suggest it holds great power.
