Session 5b: Death becomes them

The Plot

Norbith awakens on a cot in The Blue Flask. He sits bolt upright and notes that while his clothes are ripped and torn at the neck and in various other places, there is no blood and he is completely healed with no scars from the nights before. Johnny is at the bar cleaning some dishware and sighs when he see Norbith. "If I'd known you were going to ignore us I'd have made up the bed for you."

Gigi awakens in a frothy pink room with lacy curtains. She calls out and discovers she is in the spare bedroom of Harim's home. He is downstairs making tea and offers her a cup. They speak for a bit and Gigi learns that the villagers don't remember what happens at night. They have some vague nightmares but as time has gone on they forget more and more.

Gigi and Norbith find each other outside. They also find Burga, the vaguely racist woman they spoke with at the tavern who turns out is kind of a lot of racist. She was traveling through about a week earlier and was the first stranger to be trapped in town. Now, no matter where she goes or what she does, she always wakes up back at the Blue Flask.

Beowyn wakes up confused and unhappy and goes to find his cart. Sunna finds Gigi and Norbith begins yelling about her dead husband. When Beowyn shows up she immediately faints and they carry her upstairs in Harim's house. Norbith gets a cup of coffee and he and Gigi go outside and cast 'detect magic'. Gigi sees a mist hanging in the air and condensating on all the humans in town - but not the animals like the horses and a squirrel.

Wandering around, Norbith and Gigi find a well on the edge of the green. Looking inside, Gigi sees a brighter spot about halfway down the well.

DM Notes
So I wanted to give the dead players more info about the world and sort of ease them into their new plight. So I did a special session with just them. This way they could explain what happened to the rest of the group and also have a chance to do some reconnoitering without everyone having to wait on that to happen.
