Nightmare at Large

After a great deal of effort the Sandman is finally dead. What started as a conspiracy with Dream gum and rescuing of children forcibly held in comas, end after Ava Campbell led a group to search out the man responsible and tear his secrets from him. Going to the Sandman's railyard Hollow with Coco Tascioni, Lynn Mills, and Malcolm Green, with Coco striking the final blow that killed him. Lynn Mills then spoke with the Sandman's ghost and got the names of all the children he had forced into nightmare onto. Still bound to a dreaming pledge Ava, Lynn, and Daniel Leto continue to protect Robby against nightmares and to heal his mind.

July at Christmas

Ramona Bohannon and Penelope Glass put on a Summer celebration in the middle of Winter. A little surprisingly, only Winter courtiers Malcolm Green and Daniel Leto attended. However, despite initial misgivings it turned into a fairly good time. Daniel challenged Ramona to a good-natured duel. Even though he lost they shared drinks afterwards and everyone told stories around the bonfire before lighting off fireworks.

Deals in the Dark

Daniel Leto and Milo Chernobog accepted a mission from Spymaster Harvey. He asked then to procure a powerful Goblin Contract from the Boggan Brothers. While he did provide the two with a mandrake root to trade, they also got information on where it might be stored and lockpicks to steal the contract if the trade fell through.

Broken Freehold Common Ground

Malcolm Green, L'aire, Daniel Leto and Evelynn East decided to see if they could reestablish a Freehold Commons. Their first step was to see if the old Four Seasons throne room could be salvaged. The Hollow was mostly overrun. It did offer some potential goblin fruit and L'aire managed to find a memento in the form of a piano key. However, upon approaching on of the trees, the group found the old Commons had become a lair for a monster made of burned flesh. They escaped and Malcolm broke apart the Hollow's Door to the mortal world before the hobgoblin could chase after them. Now they have decided to look into start a new Commons at a location provided by L'aire.

Long Memories: One More Memory

Milo Chernobog, Morgan Bellanar, Ramona Bohannon, and L'aire have managed to recapture the memory stealing birds stolen from the Autumn court by Emma. After using the Token to look at some of the memories that had been absorbed, the group decided to contact the criminal organization, the Long Mindnight, to talk about a trade.

The Masquerade

During a costume dance, Tally Benoit and Coco Tascioni found some of the guest were acting a little too like their titular roles. They discovered that one of the event vendors had been selling people Hedgespun weapons and attire for cheep. Between the Red Queen shouting 'off with their heads', a couple vampire hunters trying to kill a young woman, and a drunken Jack Sparrow the two had their hands full but they managed to prevent anyone from getting hurt. The vendor seems to have disappeared though.

Shell Game: Meeting Mike

Nathan Griffin, Gregory, and Tally Benoit have found out that Mike has been replaced by a fetch. More importantly, they think they've found the man responsible, Joseph. They followed Joseph to a factory where they tried to confront him. The very building and machinery seemed averse to their presence. The man spoke of recruiting for his workforce of cogs in the machine but the three were having none of it. When Joseph vanished in a shower of sparks before they could get any useful information, they decided to retreat for now and take care of the fetch they had left behind at the start.

Feast of Color: Where'd she go

After much, much, much, much searching Ramona Bohannon, Coco Tascioni, Morgan Bellanar, Gregory Stone, Lynn Mills, and Milo Chernobog finally found Mrs. Rosemary. They found a goblin market in the Hedge and were able to persuade some of the stall owners to point them in the right direction. Some persuasion was more intimidating than others. Having finally caught up with the Ogress they were shocked to find out that she had come there willingly. She had apprently broken a pledge and was now paying off the debt by working in the market's kitchens. As proof she was not under duress she presented Lynn with a spatula that the Spring Queen had given her.
