Previously On...

Last week, the party was charged by a strange priest, Brother Noj of Ross to help him retake his swamp castle and the shrine to the Lady therein.

A ragtag, low-level group of would-be adventurers set out on his charge and made it to the castle, where an invisibility spell on a rogue was used to scout out the interior.

After Pataki relayed what she saw inside, including the dreadful Ogre, the party spent an uneventful night staking out the bandit's fortress.

A New Day Dawns

In the morning, adventure calls Pataki and Blanda the Frogling away but two new adventurers catch up to the group, fresh from Nightwick Village, Spruch the Fighter, one of Mayfly's hirelings, sent by him to assist and Euphemia, a ranger.

Session 108 - 23rd of Unodecember, 1398
 

This week's adventurers:

A Holy Charge

During the week, a strange priest by the name of Brother Noj of Ross approaches Persnickety. He declares her to be the spitting image of The Lady and charges her with a mission. 

The priest maintains a shrine in the ruins of a nearby castle in the Mire of Princes. A few days prior, a group of bandits led by the terrible Robin the Lawless came and drove him out of the castle. He asks Persnickety to lead the charge in retaking the castle, offering her the favor of the Church as a reward, in addition to any treasure the bandits themselves may have.

The B[asic] Team

Persnickety is unable to convince many of her companions to join her and so is left to scrounge up additional misfits to aide her holy cause.

Miranda cooked up a low level adventure for us this week, so anyone with a higher level character had to roll up a new one or use their character from one of her other campaigns.

The crew departs Nightwick Village early in the morning, led by Brother Noj. We picked up a hireling, a local woodsman, to bolster our fighting capacity.

Not sure how that works.

A crossbowwoman and a woodsman offer up their services, but Ulf desires a Fighter to be his new heir and declines to hire either.

Into the Abbey

We leave early in the morning and depart through the cold Fog-Bound Forest for the Abbey, going in through the graveyard entrance straight to the 3rd floor.

As we process through the level, Thekla casts ESP to sense life around us.

Downtime in the Village

Ulf hires a woman-at-arms, Alke, to bolster the fighting ranks of our party. Mayfly likewise hires a trio of peasants to... carry stuff, I guess. They are Elbel, Enderl, and Kirsten.

This week, we decide to head out into the wilderness in search of Ulf's missing Shawl of Protection, lost to bandits in a drunken carousing incident in Lychgate.

Woodsmen have informed us that a group of bandits have moved closer to the village, near a bend in the river just south of town.

We suspect that this group is the bandit group we're looking for.

The werewolf-like creatures known as Dogheads have also been sighted in the region.

As we make to the abbey graveyard entrance, we pass by 9 recently dug graves. A stone urn sits beside a grave, which Liminal takes with him.

Mayfly spent the week carousing and wound up with a blasphemous tattoo that he doesn't remember getting. At least he's done being a cleric for now.

Into the Abbey

We quickly leave the village in the morning to approach the hilltop concealing Nightwick Abbey.

Entering through the stone doors past the graveyard, we enter onto level 3 and rush through to the stairs down the level 4.

We enter into the becoming familiar 30' by 30' room with a blood-baptismal font on one wall.

Into the Abbey

The party leaves early in the morning, through the Fog-bound forest.

A local forest-dwelling ranger is in the middle of placing turnips, carved out with candles in them, all around the hilltop which conceals the abbey.
