A New Nightwick?

Last week, the party explored level four of Nightwick Abbey for the first time. Tired from our delve, we return directly to our homes for rest and do not notice that the world has changed around us.

In the morning, however, we notice that the guards now sport a badge with a white hand on a red field and that they have a more "sinister aspect" to them.

In the village, attached to the building that serves as the local church, is a large cubic steel shrine. We further find out that Lord Eckhard, Lord of Nightwick, has been dead for five years and Sir Albrecht rules in his place.

The final blow to our sanity is when we discover that it is currently the year 1397, not 1392 - we have apparently lost 5 years in the abbey. However, the villagers who we are familiar with have not noticed our disappearance - to them, we departed yesterday to the abbey and returned that night as usual. No one else notices that something is amiss.

Downtime in the Village

Ulf has spent the past two weeks scribing a scroll of Continual Darkness. Liminal Space searches for rumors of magic items of fey origin and discovers a record of a Staff of Dispelling used by a demon during the Siege of Nightwick.

Two new hirelings offer up their services to our party. Niklaus is a Man-at-arms from the Realm with a hook for a hand, and Helusch is a Bogdani magician who offers her services as an apprentice, however she only knows the spell Shield. Ulf hires both of them in his service in exchange for a half share of treasure and xp each.

Down to Level 4

This week, after having done battle to the south last week, we decide to return to the newly-opened level 4 of Nightwick Abbey. We plot a route through level three, entering by the graveyard, and make it to the stairs without issue.

We descend down the spiral staircase and come out upon level 4. We are standing on a 30' x 30' landing. A baptismal fountain faces us, filled with foul black water, on the western wall. Hallways branch off to the north and south and there is a door to the west.
