Session 129 - 28th of Sextember, 1399

This week's adventurers:

Blossom (Rogue 7) 

Ulf (Magician 5)

Thekla (Magician 5) 

Liminal Space (Changeling 5)

Pataki (Rogue 5)

Yevgeny the Coward (Cleric 4)

Felix (Dwarf 3) 

Hirelings: Cuncze, Petra, Hartnid (Rogue 2)

Downtime in the Village

Over the week, the voice in Pataki's head grows stronger, urging her more and more towards evil.

Ulf meanwhile purchases one (1) magic bean, trading a dagger and two rations for it.

We give Felix a spare magic sword and Liminal his shield.

He celebrates by drunkenly burning down the house of Duncan the Blacksmith.

The villages can't prove its us, but we're really the only likely suspects.

Liminal hires Petra the Woodsman and kits him out for this delve.

Into the Abbey

We return to level 4, without incident, and again go to the map south, through some rooms to where Liminal betrayed some Flymen a few weeks ago.

That room is newly reoccupied by a large figure with a too large brazen head, surrounded by 7 rotting figures dressed in the garb of monks.

The brazen figure begins to float, the chant of a spell on its lips.

Ulf petitions the local Sewing Bee (also a source of great pagan magic) for a scroll of Dispel Magic and obtains one for 700sp.

Into the Abbey 

We return to Level 4 and Ulf dispels the Continual Darkness in the hallway to the south.

Doing so reveals a tripwire across the doorway!

We carefully step over it and find a crossbow trap beyond.

Pataki steals the crossbow and its single bolt.

Downtime in the Village

Felix and Pataki spend the week carousing and after a long night of drinking, Felix wakes up with a blasphemous tattoo and Pataki similarly with a lame tattoo.

Liminal plans to repair the Orange Julius machine that we stole back in Session 36(!!!) by taking it to Father Winter's workshop, which will likely have to wait until winter.

Into the Abbey 

We decide to continue our exploration of level 4 and the hunt for the demon Plutus.

As we enter level three through the graveyard entrance, Liminal scouts out ahead into the darkness.

He sees a figure shuffling up ahead in the dark.

Assuming it's undead, Liminal charges the figure, the rest of us following behind.

As he rushes in, he sees the figures (at least three of them he now sees) have flowering buds sprouting out from them - they're the fungal zombies!

Hirelings: Baldekinus, Hertel, Cuncze

Downtime in the Village

Mayfly finishes learning the spell Knock and Ulf searches for more hirelings to throw at the monsters of Nightwick - He hires a filthy peasant named Hertel and a normal woodsman named Cuncze.

We decide to return to level 4 of Nightwick Abbey in search of either Plutus or a path down to level 5. 

Down Into the Abbey 

As we step off the stairs, Liminal peers off into the darkness of the next room and sees a mass of ghouls crouched in anticipation.

They win initiative and charge at us out of the dark, their bird-like beaks snapping in anticipation. 

The front ranks set their spears to catch the charge while Blossom, Baldekinus, and Cuncze ping the group with arrows.

He can now cast charm person (-2 save penalty) or charm monster (no save penalty) once per day, learn spells from the monster, and see through its eyes.

Additionally, he must feed the monster some of his blood (or someone else's) each day and he will be unable to be raised from the dead should he die.

A new player joins our group, rolling up Felix the dwarf, a former servant of a rival house to the Talbots in town.

We decide this week to infiltrate the Talbot house and extract revenge and/or rob them for sending bounty hunters after Thekla. 

Blossom uses her criminal contacts to get information about the Talbots and discovers that they owe a great debt to the Sheldons, another local powerful family.

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.
