(OOC NOTE: This information is not yet public, but those who attended the fae's trial are free to discuss it, Gains don't give much of a fuck.)After being summoned to the realm of fhe fae, several individuals representing Cobalt Hill plead their cases to the Queen of the Summer Fae herself, admist a rather chaotic backdrop of advisors being set ablaze and vampires and ghouls co-mingling with the winter faeries, likely due to their lack of power during the season. The queen and her court decided that the stolen powers would be returned, but only if our heroes ventured deep into an unknown place to find a relic that had not been seen for ages, 'The Urn of She-Who-Touched-The-Sun', something rumored to grant summer fae immense power. Mabel even offered to return one of each of the group's lost powers in return.
Despite some hesitation, the group chose to venture into the unknown, which turned out to be a tomb, leading some to wonder what caused a faerie to die. After struggling through a pit of skeletons, and crossing a pit via and ice bridge formed by a surprisingly friendly winter fae, they'd soon find out. However, they were once more forced to choose -- let the summer queen destroy Salem and enslave its citizens, or change hands and aid the Winter Court in their time of need. Deciding not to assist in Mab's reign of terror, a contract was signed, and the group was informed of the ancient beast that guarded the urn, promised protection and a way out in exchange for help destroying the artifact.
An agreement reached, they struggled to distract the nightmarish ninety-eyed hound that guarded the urn. Once it was retrieved, however, they were easily whisked back into the Summer Queen's presence. Her deal, however, was flawed, as her advisor pointed out before being set ablaze once more. While Mabel had requested the urn be brought back into the room, she never said what they were to do with it afterwards. So, following the return of everyone's stolen powers, the group from Cobalt Hill joined with the Winter Fae in destroying the urn, sending Mabel into a rage where she promised blood and fire. The few members of the Winter Court and their compatriots held off the Summer Fae who were ordered to attack and destroy while their mysterious fae visitor from the Tomb granted them a portal them back to Salem.
While things seem to have settled for now, evidence suggests that this isn't that last that will be seen of the fae...
Everyone will find their powers returned either immediately or over the course of two to three days (depending on player preference).(
