27 - The Peak of Alderahk

When we're waking up, we are surrounded by Dreamkats, who snuggled during our sleep to be near us.
As we slowly emerge from our slumber, Fen is standing there, waiting for us, wrapped in winter cloth, geared and ready to go.

He lets out of musical sounds, like a yodal spoken language. Once he's done, he blinks at the party.

He jumps and flies to the top, back to his room.

She grunts and turns back.

As we finish to wake up and start to stand up, the Dreamkats stretch and get on the side, returning to their (happy) business.

As he rubs his eye like he would've shed a tear, Persy goes to the remains of the Giant Stone, and tries to harvest it, again,

Upon this discussion, we're taking the elevator to reach Fen upstairs.

He does a flip then phases through the ceiling.

Persy goes fetching it, and he starts to unwrap it before bringing it back.
[INT Check] It's a silver circle with two silver thin holes in between the circles. There's a wider opening, similar to a pitch whistle.
Persy turns his head sideway in wonder, then brings it to Fen who let go a "Thank you".
He blows it, we hear the tone, until it turns into frequencies that none of us can process as we still can "hear" it, leaving a weird feeling. After a while, in the middle of room, some sunlight appears. The stone swirls in the ceiling and it finally opens to the top, leaving a 30ft high opening.

When observing, it would be easy to climb with the rock part. The hard part is to reach that rock part, being 20ft into the air.

Persy pulls out the Pirate Hookshot and uses it to reach the exit, then throws the hookshot to the party. All the group is now to the top after a few minutes.
The view is still beautiful, except it's cold and fierce, and with even more rare air.
As we make our way through the snow, being much harder than before, Fen notices our struggle, and he comes over.

He pulls out this little clear disc make of wobbly materials, and grabs one and shapes into a mask. He presents a disc to each party member who needs to breath. We all do the same, and we realize while wearing the masks that it's much easier to breath, making our progress slightly more easier.
It takes half an hour to progress to the peak, where we pass above the clouds.

We see that massive caravel covered in snow, and blocking partially the morning light, a Garguatuan deep blue shape is perched on the deck of the ship, making the ship looks small.

[Nature check - Pass ✔] Persy recalls seeing this shape as a skeleton in a museum, called as a Greater Mountain Roc.

[Stealth] We are more or less (mostly less) hidden.

Reylynn gets closer and casts [Speak with Animals], then starts the discussion with the Roc.

It gets up and looks at Reylynn.

she gestures about the ship and then the Roc, which blinks.

[Perception] You feel like it doesn't hear you, even if you sense the magic gets to it.

It opens his wings and shows his massive talons. The feathers are razor-sharp, with monstrous eyes. It stands up and let a piercing shriek that it vibrates through our bodies.
Coming out behind the ship, another featherhead creature, but much smaller (15ft tall), leaps in.

We all go investigate Reylynn's unconscious body.

[Identify] Nothing is currently affecting her.
Persy notices that her eyes are still black.

[Religion - Pass] Balnorin thinks with all the clues, it appears that she's a Reborn now, and shares his thought.

[Detect Magic] We're removing all magic items + tying her up.

While we're doing this, Fen is rushing through the vessel, and happy about it.
Reylynn wakes up eventually.
