The Crew began their session exiting the cave systems after locking the Lich in the fruits cavern, with a small amount of monster loot, and 6 melon sized strength fruit. They immediately contacted local alchemists and Kit in order to bring together the ingredients, and prepare the fruit. After a very lengthy process of distilling the fruit down to a salve, 4 members of the family decided to lather up. The family watched as the salve was applied to the body, a thick viscous orange liquid that applied a thin layer to each member who decided they wanted a little buff. Dugby decided his frail body wouldn’t benefit as much as other members of the group, so he paid extra attention to the process. It started as a normal salve application, but as he watched on, the salve took on an orange glow and began seeping into the tissue (and metal) of those who applied the salve. The vessels and wiring underneath were illuminated, and as Dugby observed, he could see that the fruits essence was taken in by the nervous or vascular system, and moved inward towards the heart and gemstone of the family. As the final remnants of light crawled towards the chest, the strength fruit took effect, and those affected felt a surge of strength as their body adapted and absorbed the fruit. Refreshed, renewed and now strengthened, the family makes their way back to Savahaa, to prepare to move to Miraneen in disguise to see if they can find any more hints or clues as to the whereabouts of their brother. Smithy had given the group their new identities that their mother had drawn up for them, so they could travel less encumbered in their travels by their family name.  After a quick detour to have AAA tattooed by Annabelle, the crew made their way into the magical country of Miraneen.  The country's land geography is a combination of massive rolling plains surrounded by mountains, ending in a forest zone that slopes down into a marsh/swamp and into the surrounding water. At the beginning of this forest is the Matriarch Tree, a massive tree whose top extends above the clouds, allowing only a few branches and limbs to come down and be visible.  The first city is a medium sized settlement named Magni. Compared to the surrounding cities, this is the smallest Miraneen has to offer. Magni is Miraneen’s welcoming city where people can come and get a small glimpse of the magic that Miraneen has to offer. The first sight to catch the group off guard was the life size puppets that roamed and assisted in Magni. Carrying crates, walking dogs, cleaning streets, these unintelligent puppets seemed to be following a short command from their owner, and were only interested in assisting those who needed.  The family arrived in time for the Festival of Purity, a celebration of Queen Coco VIII finally pushing the humanoid monsters out of Rachwall, and to their death in the Jungle. There are still survivors that have been spotted, but the presence of the monster humanoids has been nearly squashed in Miraneen. After enjoying the scenery of the festival the group went to stop in to the local puppet repair shop. The Hand that Guides is run by a small elderly man named Pasquale, who gave the crew a slight background on the puppets and what they do and how they work. He offered the group a chance to go back and to his dump site in the back and inspect the dummies as much as theyd like. After the puppet shop, the crew tried to enjoy the festival again but a sharp eye’d AAA saw more than felt a hand slip onto his compass that hung at his waist and snatch it. A chase ensued through the small city, winding through the back allies in order for the halfling to lose his pursuer. But AAA had no intentions of being left behind or losing his compass. After AAA “cornered” the thief, they revealed they could see through AAA’s illusory veil, and could see his true self. The thief revealed his name to be Rill, a companion of AAA’s from the his past. After reuniting and introducing the family, the family decided to meet Rill later at the Rooted Burrow for drinks and catching up.  Before the end of the night, the crew made one last stop back to the trash pile behind Pasquale’s shop. They were able to pick through the pile to recreate one of the gem hearts that is inside the doll’s chest. AAA was able to infer from the anatomical gem heart fed into the wooden bodies like nerves and blood vessels, possibly giving movement to the puppet
