Magic Circle Ritual

First published in Player's Handbook.

Fey Passage Ritual
You open a path marked by standing stones, a portal or the Heart of the Wild itself, allowing you and your allies to step into the Wild.

Component Cost: 140 gp
Market Price: 360 gp
Key Skill: Arcana or Nature (no check) Level: 6
Category: Travel
Time: 10 minutes
Duration: Instantaneous

Use this ritual at a fey crossing (a stone, portal, cairn ring or the HotW). When you perform this ritual, you transport yourself and up to eight allies from the world to a corresponding location in the Wild, or from the Wild to a corresponding location in the world. The fey crossing need not be active for Fey Passage to work.
You remain in the Wild until you leave by another means or you perform this ritual again at a fey crossing.
Special: Creatures with fey origins have a special connection to the Wild. Consequently, any with fey origins who have mastered this ritual or perform it from a scroll do not pay the component cost.

Current Quest

Cruel Ultimatum

• The Elder green dragon Reedthagn agreed to house Blight so long as the group did him a favor...
• The group must assassinate the rebel dragon Ghisidhran, a traitor to dragonkind and convert to Reedthagn's hated foe the Green God. Ghisidhran is hiding somewhere in the Nors city of Provia, leader of a Green Cult.
  
• Ghisidhran's tongue must be returned to Reedthagn before the new moon or else Blight will be dropped on one group member's home city.
• Reedthagn also offered Hulda, Giers, Portia, Jeda and Kaylan side quests, tasks that would ultimately reveal a hidden truth for each of them.
  
• Kaylan discovered Ghisidhran beneath Blackdelve Asylum and learned of his personal ambitions to use her and her uncle's unique hereditary abilities to become a "god".
• Kaylan escaped and managed to trap Ghisidhran in the ancient elven tomb of her uncle Dazeen the Uniter.
• Portia completed her side quest, at least she thinks...
• Kaylan is yet unsure how much of her side quest she completed, or if what she's learned in the attempt was in fact the hidden truths Reedthagn spoke of.
  
• A party of old and new companions entered the fey lurks beneath Blackdelve and confronted Ghisidhran. They prevailed and took his tongue, though with one last curse the dragon banished Giers and Hulda to some unknown reach of the Wild.
• Heartbroken, yet determined, the party now seeks to return to the Wild via one of Ghisidhran's rituals, deliver the tongue to Reedthagn at the Tesseract, spare a city the wrath of Blight and find their missing friends.
  

Note: I need Wish Lists from Relic, Portia and Kaylan so I can better outfit you guys in subsequent loots.
