Nightwick Abbey - Session 56 - Deja Vu

Previously, in Nightwick Abbey...

Session 56 - 18th of Youngers, 1392

This week's adventurers:

Blossom (Rogue 4)

Mayfly (Magician 4)

Liminal Space (Changeling 3)

Mechtilde (Fighter 3)

Verinka (Changeling 2)

Ulf (Magician 1)

Franz Croakenbell (Frogling 1)

Hirelings: Gerung Floating Disk (MU 1), Fredman (Fighter 1), Grumbletoe (Dwarf 1)

Downtime in the Village

For the second week in a row, a new joiner joins! A Frogling by the name of Franz Croakenbell (played by my actual brother) seeks to delve into the horrors of Nightwick with us! Mechtilde put out an ad, seeking to hire a dwarf to act as a scout for the party. One dwarf, named Grumbletoe, responds, and she agrees to pay him handsomely for his services. Ulf manages to buy a crossbow from a traveling merchant to give him a way to be useful once he has cast his only spell.

Ulf also spends the week researching arcane secrets from what he has learned in the abbey, studying the Pits of Hell and its denizens. Since he has begun this study, however, strange happenings have occurred in the house where much of the party dwells. Doors have been opening and shutting of their own accord, people have claimed to bump into large objects not visible to the eye, and strange, glowing eyes have been seen in the windows at night. Normal magician stuff, nothing to worry about.

Nightwick Abbey - Session 55 - Don't Go In Without a Plan

Previously in Nightwick Abbey...

Session 55 - 11th of Youngers, 1392

This week's adventurers:

Blossom (Rogue 4)

Mayfly (Magician 4)

Liminal Space (Changeling 3)

Yevegniy the Coward (Cleric 3)

Mechtilde (Fighter 3)

Ulf (Magician 1)

Duka (Fighter 1)

Hirelings: Gerung Floating Disk (MU 1), Elger, Fredman (Fighter 1), Guttural Noises

Downtime in the Village

Over the week, we've had a new player join the ranks of Nightwick! He rolled up Duka, a fighter from the island kingdom of Kars, a distant land where everybody has dumb names. While he was rolling up Duka, the rest of us discussed whether or not Froglings have souls and why would a chamber of commerce use a Dave & Busters business model. This week, we decide to forgo a trip to Lichgate to show Duka a proper Nightwick dungeon delve - we're going to level 2 to find our lost magic sword, Dhinron, and a giant ruby if we have time to spare.

Down Into The Abbey

Leaving the village, we take our well-worn path through the woods to the remains of the abbey, where two old towers still stick out above the ground. We descend through the western tower into level 1 and begin to make our way to the stairs down. Not far into level 1, we cross a room to find a previously open door stuck closed.

Downtime in the Village

Over the week, Mayfly made a silver cube reliquary with noble Sotar's teeth, to honor the fallen cleric. Liminal Space sells the cursed sword to Halfdan the Necromancer for 250sp, who is interested in it solely as an artiface from the cursed abbey. Blossom continues to gather information on the Blindfold of St. Candace of the Night, discovering that it is probably held in the sewers of the old city section of Lichgate.

Down in the Abbey

Last week, we made a deal with the Manimals for them to procure some plants from the underground garden of the abbey. We arrive at level 2, unsure if we'll find the plants or a trap there. At the food of the stairs we find....
