Session 121 - 19th of Leftember, 1399

This week's adventurers:

Blossom (Rogue 6) 

Mayfly (Magician 6) 

Thekla (Magician 5)

Ulf (Magician 5)

Liminal Space (Changeling 5)

Downtime in the City

Now in Blackleg, we're able to get a cure for Thekla's demon possession, you know, the reason we left Nightwick like 5 session ago. We got the help for free because we helped the pilgrims last time and for helping an angel find a shrine, 100 session ago.

Because here at Nightwick Industries, we all believe in the importance of strict time records and their keeping, we're catching our adventurers up to the present date which means we have 5 weeks of carousing on our hands. 

Week 1

After a night of drinking that we barely remember, Ulf gets declared an outlaw and we hear rumors that Thekla has had bounty hunters sent after her.

Week 2 

The next week, Thekla performs magical studies while the others go drinking (except for Ulf, whom no one in the town will do business with anymore) and somehow blows up the inn we're staying in, the Pizzled Gules.

Everyone is mad about this and we move to the other inn in town.

Mayfly spends his downtime to get better acquainted with the countess. He hope to discover information about a magic wand once owned by the Corvies, a mercenary company we've hired in the past.

Week 3 

While the others go drinking again, Thekla discovers that one of her ancestors had come to the lands a long time before and worked with the conquering Sword Brothers. Apparently, her ancestor did some terrible things to the Bogdani, the local peoples. She permanently gains a -1 penalty to reaction rolls with the Bogdani as news of this ancestral connection spreads.

Mayfly continues to charm the countess and gleams some information on the wand. He finds out that the previous owner was killed by a Devilman who took it back to a Devilman lair - though we don't know where yet.

Week 4 

Ulf and Thekla scribe some spell scrolls after alienating themselves to the town, Mayfly makes a bad impression with the countess, undoing some of his previous work, and the rest of the party continues carousing for more xp.

This week's adventurers:

Liminal Space (Changeling 5)

Poppy (Fighter 5)

Pataki (Rogue [Graverobber] 4)

Hirelings: Hartnid (Rogue 1)

Previously, on Nightwick Abbey...

Last week, while on the road to Blackleg, our intrepid crew stumbled upon some pilgrims who had just escaped imprisonment in a nearby village. 

Being a bunch of goody two-shoes, we decided to help free their still-captive brethren.

We scouted out the village and decided to wait one more day to await Mayfly's return and to let Thekla prepare Invisibility.

Big Damn Heros

The next morning we return to the edge of the village and send out Pataki and Hartnid to scout the area for us. 

Thekla casts Invisibility on them both (technically Invisibility 10' Radius on Pataki) and they go ahead to explore the beastman village.
