Episode 72: Phantasmal Parley

Last we left off, Bells Hells had traversed across Exandria in an instant at the behest of the Voice of the Tempest to one of the many islands that make up the Shattered Teeth. From beyond the fog curtain, they landed upon the island of Slival. Upon wandering through the strange dense forests and black rock cliffs and beaches you encountered strange, flying, frog-like, pixie creatures.
You befriended some, and requested a bunch to shit on you.
You found out about a guardian upon this island in hopes maybe they could guide you to your individual of interest, The Shore Shrew. ou, at the request of these creatures lit a massive bonfire at one of the hilltops, which called the attention of a dangerous, sightless beast that began to attack Chetney and the rest of the group.
In defending them and trying to gain control of the battlefield, a massive shadow grew in the sky where a incredibly large, blackened toad creature slammed into the ground and revealed itself to be the living abode of, indeed, Jirana, The Shore Shrew that you were seeking.
After managing to knock away the creature of danger, you were invited into her home and answered a number of your questions, presented some possible opportunities to get to your destination, the island of Kalutha. You decided the best route was to take an enchanted compass that belonged to a dread captain who runs a ghost ship.
After taking a moment to rest, enjoying some tea and some light conversation the toad homestead bounded across the island and has just deposited you on the island shore, the northeastern shore, to find the rest of your journey.
So, here you have stepped out from the mouth into the midday, fog obscured light. You can hear the ocean waves crashing and can see just beyond the edges of the tree line there, where the water curls up along the beach and then pulls back and away.

Funny Interrogation Struggles

  • 00:37:00 Failing to ask questions fed to her, Laura talks like Yoda.
    spoilerThis part felt a little forced to me upon rewatch. Already having the restricting rule of requiring deception/persuasion checks with 'Speak with the Dead', there could have been more forethought into the interrogations. Keeping details out of a potential plan for the sake of a bit was a disappointment to my tactical nerd side.

I am confused about why they are rolling deception checks and disguising Imogen when talking to the corpse of General Ratanish.

Edit: Upon rewatch, I heard Matt say the "As a reminder, the dead aren't inclined to tell the truth" rule.
