Now that Ariana has her parents’ key, the team returns to Rava’s temple and is escorted to the high priestess’ chambers. The high priestess introduces them to Griff the mechanist who examines the key. Unfortunately the key is spent, but the team is in luck as he explains he just made a new key to The Smithy yesterday. Griff explains that he is in a secretive organization called the Keeper of the Keys which is allied with the church of Rava. He puts his new key itno the air to open a portal.
After everyone enters the portal, they are surrounded by squirrels who attack and push Griff out of the portal as he yells about betrayal. A fight ensues. The squirrel priest is just about to die as he casts a portal under the girls and the other squirrels (Ratatosks) throw Jackal, who is almost dead, into the portal
The adventurers fall to the ground and wake a few hours later, realizing they are in a clearing. Jackal climbs a tree to see where to go. He spots a village and they head in that direction
They see a lady selling hot pies and ask someone where they are. They are in the Tumbledowns. (meta: another D&D game we play from the dndadventure club setting)
They meet another set of adventurers - Sasha, Grumpy. And Triss. (meta: the characters the play as in the dndadventure club setting) They discuss their situation a bit and mention being from another dimension.
One of the local adventurers suggested speaking with Baba Yaga. On the way to Baba’s house, they have to fight a Lillium and 2 awakened trees.
Once the team of six arrives at her house, Baba Yaga gives them healing tea. Ariana explains what’s happening. Baba Yaga opens a portal into another world.
The team enters the portal and they land on a ship in Greenwold. (meta: It’s Captain Catapult’s ship)
GM Thoughts
Ever since I heard about using The Labyrinth to travel between adventure settings, I’d been planning for this plot point. We have played so much in the dndadventure club world and I thought the kids would love it. The kids did enjoy traveling there. However, only Sam enjoyed playing both characters. The girls wanted me to play their characters. Luckily I had only planned for it to be one session and not some huge thing.
