Hour of the Witches

Twig's ritual goes as planned, with a temporary planar bridge opening between the Ormalix and the Feywild. This magically binds the Rott Sisters Wilma, Mildred, and Jenny to the tomb's lower chamber, but has the unintentional consequence of sucking the party's elves into the Feywild.

The Sisters prove to be a challenging fight. Mildred murders Milk and almost kills Roach twice, while Wilma torments Alexander with illusory images of his time as a human experiment. Eventually, however, the party suceeds in slaying them, especially after an emboldened Taigus returns from the Feywild and shoots one of the witches dead. Having spent a month there serving Oberon, he bears the god's mark on his chest.

Roach sees that there is a bleeding message on his back, reading "I am reborn". During the fight, Valfigor had absorbed the dark blood of the hags, unraveling something within the blade. Nadu retrieves the Emerald Rod from Mildred and buries it with Milk. The others collect several odd trinkets from the hags' corpses before venturing out of the tomb. In particular, Alexander finds a brightly mottled egg that piques his interest.
