Into the Abbey 

We delve down to level 4 without incident, intending to continue our explorations.

We go north to where we explored last time, to a room filled with a misty air.

Dangers in the Mist 

As we stop for a rest turn, Cuncze cries out.

"Something in the mist tried to touch my face!"

• Pataki steals holy water from the local church.

Into the Abbey

We make it to level 4 without incident and begin retracing our route through the dungeon from last delve, which Ulf was absent for.

Along the way, he picks up bits and pieces of last week, learning that they encountered some Sword Brothers and possibly vampyres.

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.

Thekla and Felix go carousing this week. 

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!

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.

Downtime in the Village

Ulf carouses by studying and gains a loathsome familiar - a wolpertinger.

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.
