The Fading of Fellen Wiki

2.21.2026

We’re in the aftermath of the Battle at the Lanai. We decide to visit Rel per Holt Hennessee’s directions.

We see a cave with a glowing light. Kex rolls in – nice and homey. Lived-in cave. Rel and Lyric are there and two Jaree guards.

Kex is like why weren’t you there? Rel is like I was sent away for safety. Lux joins the convo. Kex tells Rel what happened. Rel says the scouts informed him – so sad.

Kex talks about the situation in the Sothmarsh/Prelate army.

Lyric is like we have something for you. Your magic tent is now not evil – but has the power of the druids. Inside there is a lovely spring with two pixies that will watch over us while we sleep. It is now known as the Tent of Jaree.

(damn Rel your GF is cute)

(and Rel back there with the “Im hitting that” look)

Lux tells Rel/Lyric about the situation with the planned massive fade. We talk about next moves – Sothmarsh, Jaree’s Army, Vario’s area/contingency up north. We need to build an army.

Rel is like I need to pass the level 7 poison test. Keep an eye open if you see anything.

We head out to the Sothmarsh. Around 2am, Kexyl’s ring begins to flash. Kex pages the Prelate. He’s clearly in battle – whacking people with a club or something. We have it under control for now. Probably another hour or two before we get to your village. Says they made contact with the forces.

We push on. Lux has normal vision, not handsome.

We approach the sounds of battle – maybe 15 minutes away from the conflict.

Kexyl has a BAD FEELING. TODAY IS THE DAY.

We roll up on this swampy swamp. We hear sounds of battle – can’t tell what’s around.

Kex knows his way around. We pick up evidence of a patrol. Lux can tell they are fresh tracks. They are definitely all metal – not of the Jaree army.

We find a war cultist who fell down, we jump him and kill him. Search him, nothing. Jartha, as usual, tinkers with the body.

We continue east, Zelda style mapping. Up ahead is battle. We see the Prelate and Talon folks. Cultists fleeing.

Prelate – my friends you have made it. His army marched to the other side of the village. He’s like you must be tired. Lux is like the Triumvirate of Promise doesn’t sleep for fear of death” What aid to you wish to render. We say we want to save the village and muster and army for this is but a drop in the bucket of war. We tell him about the battle at Jaree’s camp. We head into further battle and come across the old swamp tavern. There are dead bodies, Jaree men standing about. My lords, the fighting is over here to this side. We can as soon as we heard. There are refreshments in the tavern.

We ask Cooks to make omelets. We feel extra invigorated. We head out. Croaks Softsong on limited bass due to strings lost in battle.

We come across more fighting. This village is beset by warfare. We see barbarian, cultists, death priest.

We fight. Lux hits with a fireball and says “getting hot in the SothMarsh!” Jartha, in the worst verbal delivery ever, says “A swift death to you who have wronged me” and nails the death priest with a 20!

Kex lights up a cultist solder like Pony Boy in The Outsiders. Two WarChampions appear. We continue fighting. Cooks rolls a one and throws his cleaver into the swamp. We win a scrunched up battle over swamp bridges. Lux tried to jump into the water and pull the cultist in, but failed. End up spitting on the guy as he died. Kexyl dives into the water and finds Cooky’s cleaver along with a whet stone.

We head to the Bullywag village.

Lord Hopwell is dead! Kex’s dad/Hoppenleaf is ok. We talk about after war honors, and they will have to wait for the Bullywag Feast of Flies. We talk about Ashborn Cavaliers – they have been spotted to the east. This phantom army. We tell him about the Prelate. Engaging these three cavaliers seems dangerous. The phantom army has used sound to push back the invaders.

We head out towards the fight. We see a heavily wounded barbarian. Propped up against a tree, near death. Kex talks to him – what happened to you. Army, white warriors, they yelled at me and my body ruptured. He tries to stab Kex, misses, and dies.

Kex asks the prelate about the sound army and its impacts on us. He says do not stand in front of them.

We roll up to Swamp Gulch. We see a lone AC. It approaches us. “So you have come. You will fall like the others.” Jartha – are you Lord Findees. No it is I Mahoney, your personality coach. I see you have failed. Many arches are trained on you, only I hold them back. This is your last chance to join us, or die.

Very well, you have chosen death. Jartha, don’t make me kill you. Why don’t you go back the other way. Jarred makes “an inverse persuasion check”. Jartha feels compelled to retreat and backs up five feet. Don’t think we’re alone here, friend. I’m of course here with Harris, who emerges from the back.

Kex yells, what’s the plan. Jartha backs all the way back.

We discuss different options. We also notice there are in fact a ton of options. Lux is like what if we offer Jartha for Cleo Pipe.

Lux is like what would you trade for Jartha. He’s like I will let one of you live. Lux laughs. Cooks also is charmed.

Lux goes invisible. It’s fight time.
