Session 119 - 11th of Youngers, 1399

This week's adventurers:

Blossom (Rogue 6)

Thekla (Magician 5)

Ulf (Magician 5)

Liminal Space (Changeling 5)

Poppy (Fighter 5)

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.

Session 118 - 8th of Youngers (?), 1399

This week's adventurers:

Blossom (Rogue 6)

Mayfly (Magician 6)

Ulf (Magician 5)

Liminal Space (Changeling 5)

Krupe (Cleric 5)

Yevgeney the Coward (Cleric 4)

Pataki (Rogue 4)

Hirelings: Hartnid (Rogue 1)

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.

Session 116 - 1st of Youngers, 1399

This week's adventurers:

Blossom (Rogue 6)

Mayfly (Magician 6)

Ulf (Magician 5)

Liminal Space (Changeling 5)

Krupe (Cleric 5)

Poppy (Fighter 5)

Yevgeney the Coward (Cleric 4)

Pataki (Rogue 4)

Vestif (Rogue 1)

Hirelings: Hartnid (Rogue 1)

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!
