Session 134 - 6th of November 1399

This week's adventurers:

Mayfly (Magician 6) 

Ulf (Magician 6)

Thekla (Magician 5) 

Liminal Space (Changeling 5)

Yevgeny the Coward (Cleric 5) 

Poppy (Fighter 5) 

Pataki (Rogue 5)

Felix (Dwarf 4)

Hirelings: Hartnid (Rogue 3), Baldekinus, Elger

Downtime in the Village

Poppy goes on a heavy night of drinking during the week. In her drunken stupor, she finds herself at a Bogdani hut somewhere in the Fog-Bound forest outside of town.

She stumbles inside where three old women tell her future (she knows the result of her next 3 d20 rolls).

Mayfly finishes his studies to learn the spell Haste!

Felix adorns his plate armor with the names found on the Kings' List on level 4. Surely this won't have some repercussions later.

Into the Abbey 

We delve back down to level 4 this week, continuing our exploration and search for level 5.

We journey south, then east towards unexplored sections of the abbey.

At this point, the northeast and south eastern corner of the level are the biggest blind spots on our map. 

We come into a large room, 100' by 30', on the way.

A large, steaming, pool of water sits in the middle.

Session 133 - 23rd of Shocktober 1399

This week's adventurers:

Blossom (Rogue 7) 

Mayfly (Magician 6) 

Ulf (Magician 6)

Thekla (Magician 5) 

Liminal Space (Changeling 5)

Pataki (Rogue 5)

Felix (Dwarf 3) 

Hirelings: Cuncze, Hartnid (Rogue 2), Merlyn (Fighter 1)

Downtime in the Village

Ulf identifies the magic ring as a ring of Control Human.

Late one night, prodded on by the evil voices in her head, Pataki, along with Liminal Space, sneak off to the church and set it ablaze.

Liminal accidentally steps on a sleeping priest, but he quickly puts him and another nearby priest to sleep with magic.

They pour oil all over the altar and interior of the church and Pataki sets it ablaze. Before they leave, the voice of evil in Pataki's head urges her to do the same to the priests, but she and Liminal spare them and drag the sleeping figures outside.

And they do! The priests are dead. Burned alive.

It becomes the talk of the town, with many folks (rightfully) suspecting our lot, however no one comes forward with a formal accusation or proof of Pataki and Liminal's misdeeds.

Mayfly seeks, with his magical fake eye, a great host of shadows surrounding Pataki.

Liminal, while carousing, performs some blasphemous drunken foolishness and loses all of his hireling over the week.

Ulf hires the heavily scarred barber Elgar to beef their ranks.

Into the Abbey 

We delve down to level 4 without incident, intending to continue our explorations.

We go north to where we explored last time, to a room filled with a misty air.

Dangers in the Mist 

As we stop for a rest turn, Cuncze cries out.

"Something in the mist tried to touch my face!"

• Felix buys steaks and garlic to deal with some one-eyed tick-like vampyres the party found on level 4 last time.
• Ulf spends his time carousing and gets into a drunken fight with some of the Howling Commandos.
• Pataki steals holy water from the local church.

Into the Abbey

We make it to level 4 without incident and begin retracing our route through the dungeon from last delve, which Ulf was absent for.

Along the way, he picks up bits and pieces of last week, learning that they encountered some Sword Brothers and possibly vampyres.

Session 129 - 28th of Sextember, 1399

This week's adventurers:

Liminal Space (Changeling 5)

Pataki (Rogue 5)

Yevgeny the Coward (Cleric 4)

Felix (Dwarf 3) 

Hirelings: Cuncze, Petra, Hartnid (Rogue 2)

Downtime in the Village

Over the week, the voice in Pataki's head grows stronger, urging her more and more towards evil.

Ulf meanwhile purchases one (1) magic bean, trading a dagger and two rations for it.

We give Felix a spare magic sword and Liminal his shield.

He celebrates by drunkenly burning down the house of Duncan the Blacksmith.

The villages can't prove its us, but we're really the only likely suspects.

Liminal hires Petra the Woodsman and kits him out for this delve.

Into the Abbey

We return to level 4, without incident, and again go to the map south, through some rooms to where Liminal betrayed some Flymen a few weeks ago.

That room is newly reoccupied by a large figure with a too large brazen head, surrounded by 7 rotting figures dressed in the garb of monks.

The brazen figure begins to float, the chant of a spell on its lips.

Downtime in the Village

Thekla and Felix go carousing this week. 

Ulf petitions the local Sewing Bee (also a source of great pagan magic) for a scroll of Dispel Magic and obtains one for 700sp.

Into the Abbey 

We return to Level 4 and Ulf dispels the Continual Darkness in the hallway to the south.

Doing so reveals a tripwire across the doorway!

We carefully step over it and find a crossbow trap beyond.

Pataki steals the crossbow and its single bolt.

Pataki (Rogue 4) 

Felix (Dwarf 2) 

Hirelings: Baldekinus, Hertel, Hartnid (Fighter 2)

Downtime in the Village

Felix and Pataki spend the week carousing and after a long night of drinking, Felix wakes up with a blasphemous tattoo and Pataki similarly with a lame tattoo.

Liminal plans to repair the Orange Julius machine that we stole back in Session 36(!!!) by taking it to Father Winter's workshop, which will likely have to wait until winter.

Into the Abbey 

We decide to continue our exploration of level 4 and the hunt for the demon Plutus.

As we enter level three through the graveyard entrance, Liminal scouts out ahead into the darkness.

He sees a figure shuffling up ahead in the dark.

Assuming it's undead, Liminal charges the figure, the rest of us following behind.

As he rushes in, he sees the figures (at least three of them he now sees) have flowering buds sprouting out from them - they're the fungal zombies!
