Downtime in the Village

Several members of the party spent the week carousing after our excellent haul the previous week. Verinka reaches level 3 and learns the spell Animal Friendship. Mechtilde goes out drinking and reaches level 4 (becoming a proper Hero), however, as a side effect, she's very hungover and Bacifer de Snorley takes her place in the party this week. 

Blossom seeks out rumors on the Brotherhood (of Thieves and Assassins) and learns that the Bishop  of Lychgate purportedly employs the Brotherhood (of Thieves and Assassins) for his own purposes.

We also discuss an RPG format of having 5 DMs run a game for 1 player. I'll report back once we test it out.

Back on the Road

This week, the party is headed to the bishopric of Lychgate to seek out (and steal) a magical item that the Brotherhood (of Thieves and Assassins) possesses. We depart on our 2 day journey on the morning of the 8th of Leftember. The weather is muggy and grey and the road is incredibly muddy.

Nightwick Abbey - Session 58 - Pudding!

Previously, in Nightwick Abbey...

Session 58 - 1st of Leftember, 1392

This week's adventurers:

Blossom (Rogue 5)

Cherwe (Cleric 4)

Liminal Space (Changeling 3)

Mechtilde (Fighter 3)

Yevegniy the Coward (Cleric 3)

Verinka (Changeling 2)

Ulf (Magician 2)

Hirelings: Gerung Floating Disk (MU 2), Grumbletoe (Dwarf 1), Ditl (Cleric 1)

Downtime in the Village

Over the week, the party went carousing with the recently acquired treasure. Verinka goes drinking, gaining 200xp. Ulf feasts, gaining 100xp, but gaining terrible indigestion, forced to rest every 3rd turn this session. Liminal also feasts, gaining 800xp, but angers a passing noble, Sir Sander Hornpike, in the process. Sir Hornpike has now sworn to hunt Liminal down and hang him from the highest tree in teh bishopric.

This week, we decide to go to level 2 in search of the giant ruby we learned about from the cultist Assman. We stock up on flasks of oil to aid us. A single woodsman, Hanslo, also offers up his services to the party and Ulf hires him on the spot.

In Search of a Pudding

We make it to level 2 without incident. Our plan is to start where we fought the cultists who told us about the ruby guarded by the giant blood pudding. Grumbletoe, our dwarf scout, (who sounds like Scruffy the Janitor) hears nothing at the door to their room.

We open the door to reveal several cultists with sharp swords.

Liminal turns to the dwarf and says, "Grumbletoe, you're not being reprimanded, but you can do better."

"I think this is very clearly a case of man against man and God against all," the dwarf replies.

Nightwick Abbey - Session 57

Previously, in Nightwick Abbey...

Session 57 - 25th of Youngers, 1392

This week's adventurers:

Blossom (Rogue 4)

Mayfly (Magician 4)

Cherwe (Cleric 4)

Liminal Space (Changeling 3)

Verinka (Changeling 2)

Ulf (Magician 1)

Franz Croakenbell (Frogling 1)

Hirelings: Gerung Floating Disk (MU 1), Mikusch, Bero

Downtime in the Village

Ulf researches the strange happenings around the party's house and comes to the conclusion that they are the result of a demonic, rather than ghostly presence - there must be an invisible creature around. Mayfly studies a captured spellbook to learn Mirror Image and he buys 3 maces and 3 spears for the party to use. 

Today, we plan to return to level three and fight the undead there, who seem to be resistant to blades, so the maces might come in use. We know there's treasure in the room with the bat-helmed Meister, but we have to defeat it first.

Into the Abbey

As we descend into the abbey, Cherwe discovers that the door into the 1st floor landing is stuck. Mikusch and Cherwe force it open and find two goatman on the other side of the door, hiding behind the pillars. Several more come out from the shadows. We filter down the ladder as Franz and Cherwe enter melee. They are both hit badly as they try to make space in the melee for the rest of us to come down.

Mikusch and Liminal are both wounded as well. Cherwe is hit again. We've taken some bad hits for the first room of the dungeon and this isn't boding well for the rest of the delve, especially without our best fighter, Mechtilde.
