Nightwick Abbey - Session 65 - It's Simple, We Kill The Bat Man

Previously, in Nightwick Abbey...

Session 65 - 10th of Sextember, 1392

This week's adventurers:

Blossom (Rogue 5)

Mayfly (Magician 4)

Cherwe (Cleric 4) 

Mechtilde (Fighter 4)

Yevegniy the Coward (Cleric 4)

Ulf (Magician 3) 

Gerung (Magician 2)

Franz Croakenbell (Frogling 2)

Herk (Fighter 1)

Hirelings: Ditl (Cleric 2)

Downtime in the Village

During the week, Ulf secretly approaches the Bogdani woodsmen of the lodge, seeking if they know of a being who could be his magical mentor. He's not much interested in studying under Halfdan, as Mayfly and Gerung do, and wonder if they, perhaps, know of someone, or something, connected to the Old Gods of the Fog-Bound Forest who could teach him.

The woodsmen give Ulf a strange look but agree to help him in this pursuit. They can get him in touch with the right people, but it will take 100gp in donations, bribes, and the purchasing of magical accoutrements (including a traditional bogdani woman's dress and a wig, which Ulf assumes will be his new Magician's uniform).

Luckily, after a few lucrative delves into Nightwick Abbey, Ulf has the cash on hand - barely (Nightwick uses the silver standard rather than gold, so 100gp is a decent sum) and gladly pays the woodsmen. They tell him to return next week when the arrangements are complete.

Nightwick Abbey - Session 64 - All of the Hirelings are Dead

Previously, in Nightwick Abbey...

Session 64 - 27th of Quintember, 1392

This week's adventurers:

Blossom (Rogue 5)

Mayfly (Magician 4)

Mechtilde (Fighter 4)

Yevegniy the Coward (Cleric 3)

Ulf (Magician 3) 

Gerung (Magician 2)

Hirelings: Grumbletoe (Dwarf 1), Ditl (Cleric 2), Haug, Menczel

Downtime in the Village

During the week, Gerung heads to the Necromancer's tower on the edge of town. He seeks to become Halfdan's student, as is Mayfly. Halfday agrees...on the condition that Gerung provides him with blood from the Bleeding Baroness of Nightwick Abbey as a sort of "entrance exam." When Gerung tries to ask for more details about her, such as where she is in Nightwick Abbey, Halfdan simply shrugs and slams shut the door to his tower to return to his experiments.

Ulf spends the week studying the spellbook we took from the wizard Laurentius (with Mayfly anxiously overseeing the process to ensure he does not damage his prized book) and learns the spell Charm Person!

Mechtilde carouses, gaining 100xp, and we realize that the hireling Ditl has somehow reached 2nd level!
