Back in the Action

Last week, the session ended with a tense standoff between the noble Bartlemebis and the warlock Mayfly.

Things took a turn towards hostilities and Mayfly casts Fireball upon the noble and his camp.

The rest of the party awakens to a great scream as a number of tents go up in flame.

Of the noble's hunting party, only one of the squires is left alive, badly burned - the rest all dead.

As we scramble out of our tents, we see Mayfly mount the back of a great beast and fly off towards the moon.

This week's adventurers:

On The Road Again...

Last week, in Ulf's absense, Thekla managed to get possessed by a "gross tumorous rabbit type spirit" and the party started off towards Blackleg to get her healed.

He's left unclear as to (1) how she got possessed, (2) what exactly is possessing her, (3) what the nature of this possession is like, and (4) why we're going to Blackleg instead of Lichgate to get this dealt with.

Oh well, hopefully Mayfly's account of the events explains everything.

There was also some account of removing a spirit from a gross jar and getting treasure from it.

The spirit agreed to not hinder out journey in exchange for putting Thekla into a sort of dream-like trance. She's out of commission this week living in the shadow realm.

Back On The Road - The 9th of Youngers

The next morning, after catching Ulf up to speed, he learns that the party has a 2nd haunted pot.

He's still not clear on how the party got either pot, but we assume this one is also haunted and Blossom plans to stab straight through it with her sword, the heretical Shard of God.

Downtime in the Village

A new player joins the crew and brings along Vestif, cattle rustler, seeking treasure and a violent death.

Today is Youngers 1st, the Feast Day of St. Notappearinginthisfilm, and our hirelings are given the day off in observance (except for Hartnid for some reason? Maybe we bullied him into coming with us).

Pataki heard a rumor of strange lights coming from the hilltop to the southeast of town where Nightwick Abbey lies.

Liminal went carousing and drank something funny - he's still shaking off some hallucinations as we depart. I swear this will come up again later.

Into the Abbey?

As we approach the hilltop, the ruins appear to have changed in shape!

Downtime in the Village

Ulf, after weeks of study, has learned the spell Fly, which is surely the most useful 3rd level spell for the party to know at this moment.

Liminal Space hires a new hireling, Glogryan, a brigand who comes with a gambison and short sword.

An old friend returns this week as noble Yevgeney the Coward has come to return to Nightwick.

Into the Abbey

We set out to return to level 4, taking our familiar route through level 3, down the floating staircase into the depths of the dungeon.

As soon as we set foot on the floor, we hear a loud buzzing coming from the north.

Into the Abbey

Emboldened by tales of the defeat of Great King Death from last week's delve, the party decides to descend to level 4 to further explore and possibly confront Plutus, the demon lord of the level.

We make it to level 4 without incident, following our own well-worn path.

As we begin traversing the dungeon towards Plutus' domain, we hear a grinding sound coming from the darkness in the room to the south of us.

Assault on the Castle

We spend the night in the castle after our fight, resting from our long fight.

Throughout the night, several of us are tormented by nightmares, of unspeakable horrors committed by the Sword Brothers in days gone past and of the very walls around us infested with eyeballs, watching us.

Taking Stock

In the morning, we take our time rounding up the loot across the first and second floors of the castle.

We find (along with their listed values):

• A valuable tapestry depicting the Lady (500sp)

• A fancy table (250sp)

• A barrel of salt pork (2 weeks of rations for 1 person)

• 25sp in coins among the dead bandits

• A decorative doublet from Nun's Head (discussed last session)
