Fey Day

The Feywild is a dangerous place for adventurers. Luckily it's another plane, so it generally come up as an issue unless something goes seriously wrong.

Unfortunately, the usual went out the window 100 years ago when the Spellplague began. The veils separating the material plane from the Feywild grew even thinner, and holes were torn. There are more portals to the Feywild, and it is easier to open new ones.

As such, the annual holiday of Fey day has become wildly more dangerous. It is the day when the 2 planes are at their absolute closest, so anywhere that the veil between is particularly weak is liable to become a portal for the day. City dwellers treat it as a sort of Faewild themed Halloween, while in more rural communities do their best to avoid wild areas and leave small offerings to whatever fey creatures may appear.

On The Road

My adventurers are finally growing up and leaving town. They're planning a trip that will take them over a month if nothing bad happens, but it's Dungeons and Dragons, so something bad will happen to them.

However, this is still a new situation for me, what do I do? How do they travel? If I let them buy a flock of pegasi, is that actually faster?

Next session is really just going to be a couple weeks of travel. They might get as far as Boarskyr Bridge, depending on what they want to do about the events of Fey Day. My favorite Faerûnian holiday.

Intrigue

Intrigue is hard.

I have a deposed noble, and he is on his way to take back his title.

Pretty sure there's supposed to be heaps of intrigue and talking to people.

But he's been a deposed noble for the past 8 years, the person who deposed him was looking forward to a confrontation that never happened. I'm struggling with what to do when he slides in pretending to be someone else. Especially since the person currently in control of his lands is his identical twin brother. I suspect he will just be recognized even when he puts on his terrible mask.
