Synopsis

Plot

  • The Island drifted into the sand
  • Above us is sand, below us, is not sand
  • The island sinks into the sand above us, it leaves a streak kind of through it, it looks like there are almost features to the lower level, kind of like dunes
  • Other direction- there are clouds and at least one other shape in the sky, it's like the island. An island type but
  • There is an island beneath us
  • The sky is under us, the sand is above
  • Some islands are just floating
  • “Drunk off of brain damage”- Aella's player about Aella
  • Some of the off put of sand from when the island passed through swirled into a vaguely humanoid shape with wings
  • “Bird can cry, bird can’t fly, how poetic”-Quill
  • The sand humanoid is getting closer, its small, has a large head and leathery wings, and is made entirely of sand
  • It's like 15 ft away, circling, Mariana and Orchestra try talking with it, it giggles and Mariana’s eyes darken
  • Mariana tried to step in the air, but couldn’t find any footing
  • It is offering that it can kill us faster since we won't last long 
  • Daisy Daisy showed a sword and it created a mirror image of the sword, they talked to it again and it dropped it and it went back up into the sand, the sword belongs up, we belong down
  • It made elongated claws and made an arc to attack but it is stopped by the bubble
  • Quill and Mist are asleep now, it cast sleep and we sleep now
  • It arced again and ran into the bubble falling apart
  • Orchestra is trying to make gravity change ways
  • Aella trips on nothing, a flash of that feeling when you fall asleep and then jolt awake
  • It's all greyscale now that I look closer, it's based on our perception and Mist thought about the light so now she notices that everything is greyscale, she is seeing with her dark vision essentially
  • Aella is doing a meditation thingy
  • Mist lit a torch because Orchestra was freaking out about the darkness
  • Mist blew a whistle to try to get somethings attention 
  • We need to figure out where we are supposed to be
  • Quill and Mist have a plan, activate the disk while everyone has their eyes closed and a whistle is being blown
  • All of us closed our eyes and when we opened them the sand was below and the sky was above
  • Looks like the island may have opened up a space to safely go through
  • The bubble is spent and the ‘stone’ fell out, its a pearl, and Aella gave it to Mist to keep
  • We a falling/stopping again, we are met with some resistance from the sand. 
  • The disk is heating up beneath us but the thought that the sand will bring us to a stop eventually 
    • If we stop, the sand to our sides will engulf us
    • We tried to stop it using the handle and the handle broke off
    • We were able to shove a shortsword in 
    • We cooled the disk enough and then went down again and got bonked on something which sent some of us flying
    • We all ended up in a sort of desert beach wasteland thing. Loose granular material
    • It is not flat, probably from being blown by the wind, with small dunes
    • Finer particles 
    • Above us is a low swirling mass of sand, about 20 ft up
  • Aella has a compass so we are walking in that direction
