OOC:
I thought we had all three. 1 charmed, 1 polymorphed, 1 in a lamp.

Pinmel relays the message and explains, again I can only enter my vessel after a rest.
Who has the flute? It seems like all of this,
and he waves at the polymorphed creatures was unneeded as the flute will charm them continuously. He seems upset about the delay and wants up to return immediately. Pinmel sighs in exasperation. He had been worried about this as Fey are not known to be patient, unless they want to be.

OOC:
That's exactly what you have. NPC asked you to bring her 2 (charmed) kamadans and 1 dead kamanad.
It is now a social challenge for you to persuade NPC to wait until the dead one could be delivered.
May I also remind you that the reason NPC want to see the dead one because she do not tryst you and suspect you have killed the kamadan and will be even more suspicions now as you will delay dead body delivery.
Is it any clear now?

Perhaps we simply play the flute, friends. Would anyone like me to try?

OOC:
Let's assume Bajaz took the flute for you
Bajaz gives the flute Seelah. Trying wouldn't hurt

Paladin take deep breath, calm herself, and try to repeat the tune she Archfey shown them. Although tune sound a bit wrong to human ear, the snakes on leopard shoulders start dancing to the tune immediately and after a few seconds leopard, who was lying and licking his wounds is and keeps close to Seelah.
OOC:
It will follow you now wherever you go, for how long - you don't know - you never asked Archfey how the flute works.

What do you do now? Public

Return to Archfey immediately
Else (describe)

Oh how our turami paladin delights in newfound talent. She never knew she could play the flute! Even though, Seelah did enjoy sitting on the street corner as an urchin, listening to bards boldly busking. Funny how you remember how some things rub off on you, the older you get.

I think our work is done well, friends. Shall we return to the Arch-Fey? Please, say yes. As a holy warrior, dealing with these types…it does not sit well with me, if I am honest. But hopefully, prayerfully, things work out for good in the end.

Seelah continues playing the magical flute. Perhaps even bringing segue into a ditty she used to hear on cold city streets.

You find way back to Archfey with no problems and find her and the other fey hiding under an "umbrella of darkness" - several spheres of darkness cast 30 feet above cast dark shadows on the underdark fey creatures.

You brought one of them home. It is all you human was capable of doing?! she calls impatiently

As they get close Pinmell asks the others Are there any here who can cast the Tiny Hut spell? I will need to rest to retrieve the other creatures body but do not wish to do so unprotected.

OOC:
Dear players. Please let me know if I'm wrong but I feel this game energy going down and here is my proposed solution:
I suggest to narrate party fey mood is not satisfactory and there is little chance to gather any good info from them. You leave the forest and sail to the Flamsterd hoping to discover Curran there.

What do we do? Public

Still try to please fey and hope they would provide some insight or even support
Leave forest and move to Flamsterd

I want to return the body either way. Can we try one last time to persuade them, one post each with a roll, that our quest has as much impact on them as the rest of the world?
Dec 11, 2023 8:57 am
OOC:
OK, we stay in the scene where Archfey asked you a question, I can add this narrative. If you try persuade before answering or before delivering the second kamadan, attempt will fail automatically.
When the leopard, who were following Seelah hear Archfey talking it put it's ears up and in a moment dash toward archfey, but instead of archfey it reach on of minor feys, jump on it and lick it's face.

Meanwhile Archfey is expecting explanations

OOC:
whoever has the polymorphed creature will have to return it.
1 long rest, at least 6 hours, before I can get the body.
Pinmel will move a short ways away and start resting.

Atlas empty the bag into her hands catching the frog. "This is your other pet. It was being a little wild..." She pets the frog as she hands it over to the Fey. "The last one we found dead... We weren't sure what to do with it. So my friend stored it in their magical home lamp thing. They need to rest for a bit to grab it." Crouching down to the charmed kitty. Atlas goes to pet and scuffle its fur "I am sorry we attacked you before. My friends were confuzzled. Can we be friends?"
OOC:
Polymorph only last 1hr. Not sure how long it has been. Otherwise we could kill the frog and it would revert back.

Kenjidor walked back to archfeys along with his group. While he himself was not fey, Kenjidor's blood lineage came from the fey, and he understood their capriciousness, and their danger. Knowing that much of what's to come rested on their diplomacy, Kenjidor prepared ahead of their encounter with the archfeys.

When they arrived, Kenjidor listened as Atlas explained their situation. It was best to be truthful to these creatures, and he was glad Atlas had done so. Showing deference, Kenjidor stepped forward to try to appease the archfeys and put them at ease, speaking in their own tongue. "Please forgive our unintended mistake upon your land. It is as my companion has said, we weren't sure what to do with the creature's body, and thus we stored it in a magical realm where it would not be defiled. We can retrieve it again, but as is the way with magic sometimes, my companion here cannot go access that realm without some rest first. We can remain here with you as we rest, if it please you, so that you would know there is no deception on our part."
OOC:
Cast ahead of time since it lasts one hour: Glibness and Tongues. Glibness to make the Persuasion roll a minimum of 15, and Tongues is used simply to ensure there's nothing confused in the translation when speaking with them.

Also, Kenjidor has fey lineage, and I'm hoping that might help with some of the diplomacy.

I can't roll here, but feel free to make the Diplomacy roll. It's +5, and if it's less than 15, the roll is treated as 15 (before adding the bonuses).

Seelah attempts to persuade the arch-get, with gauntleted hands open and outstretched.

Yes, we mean no disrespect. It is truly only that we come seeking your help, against evil forces which threaten coastal lands. If you’ll please indulge us just a bit longer, then all will be returned to normal.

OOC:
Do you all talk while the second kamadan is still Polymorphed? Spell has concentration so that question to caster how long he keep concentrating.
To be honest I am trying to make social encounter a few step process, where persuasion roll happens as last step. First you need to make NPC want to even hear you. And to make NPC hear you need to understand what would motivate them to hear you. I wanted to believe it is obvious getting two live kamadans is the minimal prerequisite. If it was not I write it now
There is one more prerequisite that you still need to figure out.

OOC:
Can we just say the Frog changed back? The travel time back to the Archfey was about 1hr? I am not sure who casted Polymorh...
