The Copper Piece Gang

D&D Session Summary

This session focused on the long, reality-breaking chase through the Feywild after the shadow figure who stole the shard from Krovuur’s shadow. The party had already picked up the fugitive’s teleport trail, and Zevron had made it clear that catching him or at least finding where he was headed mattered. What followed was less a normal pursuit and more a full-blown planar skill challenge, with the group chasing the target all the way to the very edge of the Feywild, into a place where reality itself was starting to come apart.

The Feywild kept shifting around them the whole time. The group was no longer just running through forests or strange terrain. They were leaping through unstable portals, fragments of different places, and floating pieces of reality torn from other worlds and times. The chase moved through a bizarre in-between space made of books, columns, platforms, water, broken architecture, and drifting debris. The party had no real map and no real control. They were effectively drafting behind the thief, following the wake of his teleportation and trying not to get lost, flung into space, or stranded in the wrong reality.

A big part of the session was the party improvising their way across that broken space. Zarnak kicked things off by parkouring across floating books, treating them like stepping stones and using brute force and momentum to gain ground. That worked, but it also created a new problem for everyone else: torn pages got sucked into the portal flow and blasted around the battlefield, obscuring vision and making every later move harder. The session treated each success as progress, but also as something that could reshape the challenge for the rest of the group.

The others then built on that chaos in their own ways. One character grabbed at the flying pages, realized some might be magical or instructional in nature, and used arcane knowledge to turn the mess into something useful. Another leaned into bardic prescience and karmic instinct, essentially trying to feel out the thief’s next move through the confusion and direct the group toward where he was heading even without line of sight. The whole thing had a strong “yes, and” energy, with each action changing the terrain and forcing the next person to adapt rather than repeat.

Krovuur tried to solve the problem more analytically by reading the environment itself. He attempted to perceive hidden currents in gravity and spatial distortion so he could make smarter jumps and use the shifting terrain to his advantage. That did not quite work out. He misjudged the path and wound up landing far from where he intended, which nicely captured the tone of the whole sequence: clever ideas absolutely mattered, but this place was strange enough that even good reasoning could still get you thrown off course.

From there, the chase got even more creative and unhinged. A trapped bookshelf became part of the solution. One party member realized the shelf had a hidden explosive trap and deliberately set it off to use the blast as propulsion. Another then went full goblin-engineering genius and decided to ride the resulting debris by pinning a hand to a board with a nail in the least-damaging spot possible. Against all reason, that worked perfectly. The explosion launched them forward, they took no real damage, and the group gained ground in the most ridiculous and effective way possible.

Rae contributed by tuning into the lunar energy tied to the shard and using it almost like a current or tide. Since the shard had already been distorting moon-linked power in the Feywild, he was able to recognize the pattern and ride that flow in the right direction. Instead of trying to outguess the space, he let the shard’s own pull reveal where the thief was going. That gave the group another strong push forward and reinforced that the shard was not just the objective of the chase, but also a force actively warping the environment around it.

The session’s standout moment came from Zarnak. While tumbling through this chaos, he used sheer force of personality to yell at the fleeing figure and command him to stop. He rolled perfectly, and although the party could not see the target directly at that instant, the narration made clear that it worked. The thief actually paused and reconsidered his entire mission for a brief moment before shaking it off and continuing. That hesitation let the whole party gain ground. It was one of those great D&D moments where a social skill landed like a weapon strike in the middle of a reality-bending pursuit.

So the session was not really about combat, treasure, or a clean dungeon objective. It was about momentum, creativity, and surviving a pursuit through impossible space. The party kept getting closer, but never quite caught the thief during this chunk of the transcript. What they did accomplish was proving they could hang with a chase that crossed planes, rewrote gravity, weaponized bookshelves, and turned teleportation into a group sport. By the end, they had pushed the fugitive hard enough to make him hesitate, and they were clearly closing the distance as the pursuit headed out of the Feywild and toward something bigger.

Quick Recap

• The party continued chasing the shadow figure who stole the shard from Krovuur’s shadow.
• The pursuit carried them to the literal edge of the Feywild, where reality began to thin and break apart.
• The chase turned into a skill challenge across floating fragments of different worlds, times, and places.
• Zarnak parkoured across floating books, which helped but also filled the area with flying pages that made things harder for everyone.
• The party adapted with arcane reading, prescient insight, gravity-reading, trap use, and improvised movement tricks.
• One of the best moments involved using an exploding trapped bookshelf as propulsion and riding the debris forward.
• Rae used moon-linked energy from the shard to find the right current and keep moving in the thief’s direction.
• Zarnak landed a perfect intimidation moment that made the thief stop and reconsider for a split second.
• That hesitation let the whole party gain ground and confirmed they were getting close.
• The session ended with the chase still underway, but the group clearly pressing the fugitive harder than before.
