=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, '''Mr Hartigan'''. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter '''Master Cattrill''' who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor ('''Mr Sykes''') and Reeve ('''Mark Turnbull''') who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cut of the cheese. 
We fly down south to speak with the goatmen. There is more goats and they are sending more milk down stream - as informed us by the local fey who are helping the herds with animals and production benefits. We then plan to head back again across the bridge looking for Master Cattrill (aka the big cheese). However we get waylaid by the lead jongleur who wants to get across the river. We advise him to camp on teh southside and await the nights developments. We discuss things with Cattrill and explain his helpers causing some of the consternation We head south across the bridge and speak with Hartigan, proposing a mid bridge detente! All goes well and a handshake ensues and the commotion ends. The troops turn up and nothing to see here. We spend the night watching the show and resting in the town.

=== Session 9 ===
We are informed about a group of suspicious people along the river (at [[Thok Ruins]]) and so we go down to investigate. We paralell the river and espy it from across the river. We approach stealthily and identify some interesting places in the ruins - possibly underground via trenches. We espy something/someone in the old watch tower but its hard to discern so we close - ready for action. 

Celeste closes on the bell tower and DA's an Imp/Human, grafted being, unaligned power alignment. A quick combat ensues between Mattin, Celeste and the entity. The fight ends with the entity dead at the bottom of the 30ft fall down the tower with Mattin standing over him. 

With the noise general combat ensues and the rest of the party speeds to close with Celeste, Mattin and Kharmul in the chapel. These are a mix of hybrid and humans as yet merged. Things explode, enemy die and..

=== Session 10 ===
A fight ensues in the Tunnels, where we win and the enemy are disposed of, as well as the imps dealt with in an equitable manner. We clean up the area and discuss the findings with the guard leadership and after a brief stay we return back to camp to continue the training. 

Training continues until mid season and then we leave a more coordinated, informed and slightly traumatised set of guards and return home to seagate on xxx

We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, '''Mr Hartigan'''. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter '''Master Cattrill''' who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor ('''Mr Sykes''') and Reeve ('''Mark Turnbull''') who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cut of the cheese. 
We fly down south to speak with the goatmen. There is more goats and they are sending more milk down stream - as informed us by the local fey who are helping the herds with animals and production benefits. We then plan to head back again across the bridge looking for Master Cattrill (aka the big cheese). However we get waylaid by the lead jongleur who wants to get across the river. We advise him to camp on teh southside and await the nights developments. We discuss things with Cattrill and explain his helpers causing some of the consternation We head south across the bridge and speak with Hartigan, proposing a mid bridge detente! All goes well and a handshake ensues and the commotion ends. The troops turn up and nothing to see here. We spend the night watching the show and resting in the town.

=== Session 9 ===
We are informed about a group of suspicious people along the river (at [[Thok Ruins]]) and so we go down to investigate. We paralell the river and espy it from across the river. We approach stealthily and identify some interesting places in the ruins - possibly underground via trenches. We espy something/someone in the old watch tower but its hard to discern so we close - ready for action. 

Celeste closes on the bell tower and DA's an Imp/Human, grafted being, unaligned power alignment. A quick combat ensues between Mattin, Celeste and the entity. The fight ends with the entity dead at the bottom of the 30ft fall down the tower with Mattin standing over him. 

With the noise general combat ensues and the rest of the party speeds to close with Celeste, Mattin and Kharmul in the chapel. These are a mix of hybrid and humans as yet merged. Things explode, enemy die and..

=== Session 10 ===
A fight ensues in the Tunnels, where we win and the enemy are disposed of, as well as the imps dealt with in an equitable manner.

=== Session 11 ===

[[Category: Character]][[Category:Andrew Luxton-Reilly]][[Category: Necromancer]][[Category:Engalgoon]]
[[Image:SAYDAR~1.GIF|thumb|Fat orc arms]][[Category:Saydar]]
==Background==
Saydar was the 7th son of an Orc Bandit chieftain. He was bullied regularly and was often tied to a cartwheel when the cart was taken to trade with neighbouring tribes. This resulted in massive damage to his arms and hands as the cart wheel regularly ran over them, breaking bones and mangling flesh. Saydar was badly crippled and unable to use weapons of any kind. At the age of 13, Saydar fled the tribe and began to plot his revenge. He learned the dark arts of Necromancy and joined the Seagate Adventurer's Guild.

==General information==
Saydar is a rude, foul-tempered beast who cares little for the life of others. He enjoys drinking and fighting, usually followed by more drinking. He has been known to spend an entire adventuring session drunk. Saydar has few friends. He is, however incredibly loyal to those few friends that he does have - [[Engalton]], [[Vychan]], [[Logan]]. Saydar was one of the original founders of [[Newhaven]]. He runs the infamous [[Skull Tavern]] in Newhaven, and spends time there to relax on occasion.

Saydar is prepared to take great risks to acquire more money and power. He currently controls the Barony of [[Erewhon]] which he is using to recruit and train an army. He has grandiose plans to rule the entire Western Kingdom one day.

Saydar has met Death itself on two different occasions. He has had his destiny rewoven by the [[The Fates|three Fates]]. He is currently removed from the tapestry of the world. This means that most NPCs will quickly forget about his existence, minor actions such as opening a door will tend to be undone (i.e. the door will close by itself), and major actions will be attributed to another entity. Saydar is the holder of the [http://parituhu.co.nz/jono/Alusian-Cross1.pdf Alusian Cross]. 

==Appearance==
Saydar is dressed in a suit of Heavy Plate armour. It is cold iron, painted black, and adorned with skulls. He wears a tattered black cloak which hides a number of bony rats within its folds. Saydar carries a large ornate staff, and a mace hangs from his belt. A number of potions, amulets and small bones hang from around his body. He looks strong, fit and surefooted. An aura of death emanates from him.

==Relation to the world==
*Holder of the Alusian Cross
*Lifetime guild member (exempt from guild taxes)

==Relations (alleged)==
* [[Sam_the_Ork|Samdar]] - the alleged heir if they could confirm it with Saydar that is
* many others - he's a very virile orc you know and he's known many many women of all sexes
* [[Gnash|Gnashdar]] - heir apparent as oldest çhild' of Saydar's many offspring

==Notable Spells==
*Binding Lesser Undead (Rk 22)
*Blades (Rk 22)
*Spectral Warrior (Rk 22)

==Notable Skills==
*Military Scientist (Rk 9)
*Unarmed Combat (Rk 9)

; Employer
: [[Harry Kale]]
; Mission

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, '''Mr Hartigan'''. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter '''Master Cattrill''' who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor ('''Mr Sykes''') and Reeve ('''Mark Turnbull''') who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cut of the cheese. 
We fly down south to speak with the goatmen. There is more goats and they are sending more milk down stream - as informed us by the local fey who are helping the herds with animals and production benefits. We then plan to head back again across the bridge looking for Master Cattrill (aka the big cheese). However we get waylaid by the lead jongleur who wants to get across the river. We advise him to camp on teh southside and await the nights developments. We discuss things with Cattrill and explain his helpers causing some of the consternation We head south across the bridge and speak with Hartigan, proposing a mid bridge detente! All goes well and a handshake ensues and the commotion ends. The troops turn up and nothing to see here. We spend the night watching the show and resting in the town.

=== Session 9 ===
We are informed about a group of suspicious people along the river (at [[Thok Ruins]]) and so we go down to investigate. We paralell the river and espy it from across the river. We approach stealthily and identify some interesting places in the ruins - possibly underground via trenches. We espy something/someone in the old watch tower but its hard to discern so we close - ready for action. 

Celeste closes on the bell tower and DA's an Imp/Human, grafted being, unaligned power alignment. A quick combat ensues between Mattin, Celeste and the entity. The fight ends with the entity dead at the bottom of the 30ft fall down the tower with Mattin standing over him. 

With the noise general combat ensues and the rest of the party speeds to close with Celeste, Mattin and Kharmul in the chapel. These are a mix of hybrid and humans as yet merged. Things explode, enemy die and..

=== Session 10 ===
A fight ensues in the Tunnels

Skip to the [[Scribe Notes#Summer_826 WK|Current Season]]

Every guild adventure is required to have an official scribe to record the main events of the adventure.
The completed documents are written in the electronic format of the scribes preference and added to the archives in the [http://dq.sf.org.nz/library/ Guild Library] (usually in PDF).

Scribe notes can be entered directly on the wiki (view existing [[:Category:Scribe_Notes|Scribe Notes]] for examples).
It is recommended to make use of the linking ability of the Wiki to cross reference everywhere you go and every important person you deal with to their appropriate section of the Wiki.

To start a set of Scribe notes the following templates are available for you. [[Scribe notes template|Standard Template]] (''recommended'') and [[IanW template|Template 3]]

= Content of Scribe Notes =
While there are no hard and fast rules about what must be in a set of scribe notes, the following is a guideline of the minimum that should be included.
* The Party Members.
* Party Leader, Scribe and Military Scientist.
* The Employer, what the party is hired to do and what they are getting paid.
* Diary with names, places and events.
* Astrology readings and any other bits of information gathered during the course of the adventure.
* The outcome of the adventure.
* Treasure and Items acquired on the adventure.

Skip to the [[Scribe Notes#Summer_826 WK|Current Season]]

Every guild adventure is required to have an official scribe to record the main events of the adventure.
The completed documents are written in the electronic format of the scribes preference and added to the archives in the [http://dq.sf.org.nz/library/ Guild Library] (usually in PDF).

Scribe notes can be entered directly on the wiki (view existing [[:Category:Scribe_Notes|Scribe Notes]] for examples).
It is recommended to make use of the linking ability of the Wiki to cross reference everywhere you go and every important person you deal with to their appropriate section of the Wiki.

To start a set of Scribe notes the following templates are available for you. [[Scribe notes template|Standard Template]] (''recommended'') and [[IanW template|Template 3]]

= Content of Scribe Notes =
While there are no hard and fast rules about what must be in a set of scribe notes, the following is a guideline of the minimum that should be included.
* The Party Members.
* Party Leader, Scribe and Military Scientist.
* The Employer, what the party is hired to do and what they are getting paid.
* Diary with names, places and events.
* Astrology readings and any other bits of information gathered during the course of the adventure.
* The outcome of the adventure.
* Treasure and Items acquired on the adventure.

__NOTOC__
[[Image:Abrae 15Oct24.jpg|thumb|right|Mid Thaw 824wk]]
== History ==
;5th Thaw 824wk
Previously a small island about 10 yards across, on the 5th of Thaw 824wk the underwater volcanic eruption created new islands.
The resulting tsunami devastated (to varying degrees) parts of the Five Sisters, Azuria, Thonia, Isles of Adventure and other near realms.

;Since the 5th of Thaw 824wk
The islands have been steadily rising out of the seas since the explosion. The islands will continue to rise for the rest of Spring 824wk. The Islands consist of (in terms of size) of Abrae, Anyfi, Korkyra, Delos and Aeolia.

;Summer 825wk
The Islands have stopped rising and have started to form more natural island structure.

; 825wk
The Consortium brings across ship loads of wood and stone and starts building a dock nestled to the bottom of the cliffs and builds out a small wharf area. A zig-zag path is carved into the side of the hills and some houses start getting built at the top of the hill, along with a watch tower.

; 826wk
Work continues and more land is developed

== Events ==

A merchantile consortium [[The Venarian Trade Company]] (known to be supported by the 5 Sisters) has anchored a large ship in the harbour formed by the islands since late Spring 824wk and has set foot upon the islands and planted the consortium flag upon them to establish ownership.

== The Islands ==
The average height and highest peak heights below are as at the end of ''Spring 824wk''.
=== Abrae ===
300m and a peak of 580m
=== Anyfi ===
100m and a peak of 180m. Anyfi is nearly round, and has a diameter of approximately 2 kilometers and an area of 3.4km square
=== Korkyra ===
30m and a peak of 114m. 2.4 km in circumference
=== Delos ===
50m and a peak of 60m.
The island has an area of 0.14 square kilometers.
Its dimensions are 650 meters long by 200 meters wide.
The island is dominated by steep cliffs, making landings difficult, although two pebble beaches and a small inlet exist on the islet.
The top of the island takes the form of a flat plateau.
=== Aeolia ===
The island's area is about 2.35km square.

;Time on adventure
:1st of Winter wk to tbc 826 WK
; Employer
: [[Harry Kale]]
; Mission
: Act as subject matter experts and mentors in identifying magic, strategies in magical combat, and participate in the preparation of some initial scenarios and drills. Advise [[The Seagate Watch]] training staff on Guard procedures in regards to interactions with magic. Review some new tools that Watch is trialing.
; Pay
: 8000sp, access to training, and first pick from the original Secure Arcane Evidence Room decommissioning (AKA the closet that the Station Master has been threatening to brick over if something isn't done about the voices and glowing.)

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, '''Mr Hartigan'''. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter '''Master Cattrill''' who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor ('''Mr Sykes''') and Reeve ('''Mark Turnbull''') who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cut of the cheese. 
We fly down south to speak with the goatmen. There is more goats and they are sending more milk down stream - as informed us by the local fey who are helping the herds with animals and production benefits. We then plan to head back again across the bridge looking for Master Cattrill (aka the big cheese). However we get waylaid by the lead jongleur who wants to get across the river. We advise him to camp on teh southside and await the nights developments. We discuss things with Cattrill and explain his helpers causing some of the consternation We head south across the bridge and speak with Hartigan, proposing a mid bridge detente! All goes well and a handshake ensues and the commotion ends. The troops turn up and nothing to see here. We spend the night watching the show and resting in the town.

=== Session 9 ===
We are informed about a group of suspicious people along the river (at [[Thok Ruins]]) and so we go down to investigate. We paralell the river and espy it from across the river. We approach stealthily and identify some interesting places in the ruins - possibly underground via trenches. We espy something/someone in the old watch tower but its hard to discern so we close - ready for action. 

Celeste closes on the bell tower and DA's an Imp/Human, grafted being, unaligned power alignment. A quick combat ensues between Mattin, Celeste and the entity. The fight ends with the entity dead at the bottom of the 30ft fall down the tower with Mattin standing over him. 

With the noise general combat ensues and the rest of the party speeds to close with Celeste, Mattin and Kharmul in the chapel. These are a mix of hybrid and humans as yet merged. Things explode, enemy die and..

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, '''Mr Hartigan'''. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter '''Master Cattrill''' who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor ('''Mr Sykes''') and Reeve ('''Mark Turnbull''') who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cut of the cheese. 
We fly down south to speak with the goatmen. There is more goats and they are sending more milk down stream - as informed us by the local fey who are helping the herds with animals and production benefits. We then plan to head back again across the bridge looking for Master Cattrill (aka the big cheese). However we get waylaid by the lead jongleur who wants to get across the river. We advise him to camp on teh southside and await the nights developments. We discuss things with Cattrill and explain his helpers causing some of the consternation We head south across the bridge and speak with Hartigan, proposing a mid bridge detente! All goes well and a handshake ensues and the commotion ends. The troops turn up and nothing to see here. We spend the night watching the show and resting in the town.

=== Session 9 ===
We are informed about a group of suspicious people along the river (at [[Thok Ruins]]) and so we go down to investigate. We paralell the river and espy it from across the river. We approach stealthily and identify some interesting places in the ruins - possibly underground via trenches. We espy something/someone in the old watch tower but its hard to discern so we close - ready for action. 

Celeste closes on the bell tower and DA's an Imp/Human, grafted being, unaligned power alignment. A quick combat ensues between Mattin, Celeste and the entity. The fight ends with the entity dead at the bottom of the 30ft fall down the tower with Mattin standing over him. 

With the noise general combat ensues and the rest of the party speeds to close with Celeste, Mattin and Kharmul in the chapel.

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, '''Mr Hartigan'''. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter '''Master Cattrill''' who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor ('''Mr Sykes''') and Reeve ('''Mark Turnbull''') who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cut of the cheese. 
We fly down south to speak with the goatmen. There is more goats and they are sending more milk down stream - as informed us by the local fey who are helping the herds with animals and production benefits. We then plan to head back again across the bridge looking for Master Cattrill (aka the big cheese). However we get waylaid by the lead jongleur who wants to get across the river. We advise him to camp on teh southside and await the nights developments. We discuss things with Cattrill and explain his helpers causing some of the consternation We head south across the bridge and speak with Hartigan, proposing a mid bridge detente! All goes well and a handshake ensues and the commotion ends. The troops turn up and nothing to see here. We spend the night watching the show and resting in the town.

=== Session 9 ===
We are informed about a group of suspicious people along the river (at [[Thok Ruins]]) and so we go down to investigate. We paralell the river and espy it from across the river. We approach stealthily and identify some interesting places in the ruins - possibly underground via trenches. We espy something/someone in the old watch tower but its hard to discern so we close - ready for action. 

Celeste closes on the bell tower and DA's an Imp/Human, grafted being, unaligned power alignment. A quick combat ensues between Mattin, Celeste and the entity. The fight ends with the entity dead at the bottom of the 30ft fall down the tower with Mattin standing over him.

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, '''Mr Hartigan'''. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter '''Master Cattrill''' who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor ('''Mr Sykes''') and Reeve ('''Mark Turnbull''') who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cut of the cheese. 
We fly down south to speak with the goatmen. There is more goats and they are sending more milk down stream - as informed us by the local fey who are helping the herds with animals and production benefits. We then plan to head back again across the bridge looking for Master Cattrill (aka the big cheese). However we get waylaid by the lead jongleur who wants to get across the river. We advise him to camp on teh southside and await the nights developments. We discuss things with Cattrill and explain his helpers causing some of the consternation We head south across the bridge and speak with Hartigan, proposing a mid bridge detente! All goes well and a handshake ensues and the commotion ends. The troops turn up and nothing to see here. We spend the night watching the show and resting in the town.

=== Session 9 ===
We are informed about a group of suspicious people along the river (at [[Thok Ruins]]) and so we go down to investigate. We paralell the river and espy it from across the river. We approach stealthily and identify some interesting places in the ruins - possibly underground via trenches. We espy something/someone in the old watch tower but its hard to discern so we close - ready for action. 

Celeste closes on the bell tower and DA's an Imp/Human, grafted being, unaligned power alignment.

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago.

We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, '''Mr Hartigan'''. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter '''Master Cattrill''' who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor ('''Mr Sykes''') and Reeve ('''Mark Turnbull''') who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cut of the cheese. 
We fly down south to speak with the goatmen. There is more goats and they are sending more milk down stream - as informed us by the local fey who are helping the herds with animals and production benefits. We then plan to head back again across the bridge looking for Master Cattrill (aka the big cheese). However we get waylaid by the lead jongleur who wants to get across the river. We advise him to camp on teh southside and await the nights developments. We discuss things with Cattrill and explain his helpers causing some of the consternation We head south across the bridge and speak with Hartigan, proposing a mid bridge detente! All goes well and a handshake ensues and the commotion ends. The troops turn up and nothing to see here. We spend the night watching the show and resting in the town.

=== Session 9 ===
We are informed about a group of suspicious people along the river (at [[Thok Ruins]]) and so we go down to investigate. We paralell the river and espy it from across the river. We approach stealthily and identify some interesting places in the ruins - possibly underground via trenches. We espy something/someone in the old watch tower but its hard to discern so we close - ready for action.

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, '''Mr Hartigan'''. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter '''Master Cattrill''' who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor ('''Mr Sykes''') and Reeve ('''Mark Turnbull''') who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cut of the cheese. 
We fly down south to speak with the goatmen. There is more goats and they are sending more milk down stream - as informed us by the local fey who are helping the herds with animals and production benefits. We then plan to head back again across the bridge looking for Master Cattrill (aka the big cheese). However we get waylaid by the lead jongleur who wants to get across the river. We advise him to camp on teh southside and await the nights developments. We discuss things with Cattrill and explain his helpers causing some of the consternation We head south across the bridge and speak with Hartigan, proposing a mid bridge detente! All goes well and a handshake ensues and the commotion ends. The troops turn up and nothing to see here. We spend the night watching the show and resting in the town.

=== Session 9 ===
We are informed about a group of suspicious people along the river (at [[Thok Ruins]]) and so we go down to investigate. We paralell the river and espy it from across the river. We ...

In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, '''Mr Hartigan'''. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter '''Master Cattrill''' who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor ('''Mr Sykes''') and Reeve ('''Mark Turnbull''') who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cut of the cheese. 
We fly down south to speak with the goatmen. There is more goats and they are sending more milk down stream - as informed us by the local fey who are helping the herds with animals and production benefits. We then plan to head back again across the bridge looking for Master Cattrill (aka the big cheese). However we get waylaid by the lead jongleur who wants to get across the river. We advise him to camp on teh southside and await the nights developments. We discuss things with Cattrill and explain his helpers causing some of the consternation We head south across the bridge and speak with Hartigan, proposing a mid bridge detente! All goes well and a handshake ensues and the commotion ends. The troops turn up and nothing to see here. We spend the night watching the show and resting in the town.

=== Session 9 ===
We are informed about a group of suspicious people along the river (at Thok Ruins) and so we go down to investigate. We paralell the river and espy it from across the river. We ...

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory.

We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, '''Mr Hartigan'''. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter '''Master Cattrill''' who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor ('''Mr Sykes''') and Reeve ('''Mark Turnbull''') who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cut of the cheese. 
We fly down south to speak with the goatmen. There is more goats and they are sending more milk down stream - as informed us by the local fey who are helping the herds with animals and production benefits. We then plan to head back again across the bridge looking for Master Cattrill (aka the big cheese). However we get waylaid by the lead jongleur who wants to get across the river. We advise him to camp on teh southside and await the nights developments. We discuss things with Cattrill and explain his helpers causing some of the consternation We head south across the bridge and speak with Hartigan, proposing a mid bridge detente! All goes well and a handshake ensues and the commotion ends. The troops turn up and nothing to see here. We spend the night watching the show and resting in the town.

=== Session 9 ===
We are informed about a group of suspicious people along the river and so we go down to investigate. We paralell the river and espy it from across the river.

=== Session 10 ===

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, '''Mr Hartigan'''. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter '''Master Cattrill''' who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor ('''Mr Sykes''') and Reeve ('''Mark Turnbull''') who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cut of the cheese. 
We fly down south to speak with the goatmen. There is more goats and they are sending more milk down stream - as informed us by the local fey who are helping the herds with animals and production benefits. We then plan to head back again across the bridge looking for Master Cattrill (aka the big cheese). However we get waylaid by the lead jongleur who wants to get across the river. We advise him to camp on teh southside and await the nights developments. We discuss things with Cattrill and explain his helpers causing some of the consternation We head south across the bridge and speak with Hartigan, proposing a mid bridge detente! All goes well and a handshake ensues and the commotion ends. The troops turn up and nothing to see here. We spend the night watching the show and resting in the town.

We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, '''Mr Hartigan'''. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter '''Master Cattrill''' who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor ('''Mr Sykes''') and Reeve ('''Mark Turnbull''') who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cut of the cheese. 
We fly down south to speak with the goatmen. There is more goats and they are sending more milk down stream - as informed us by the local fey who are helping the herds with animals and production benefits. We then plan to head back again across the bridge looking for Master Cattrill (aka the big cheese). However we get waylaid by the lead jongleur who wants to get across the river. We advise him to camp on teh southside and await the nights developments. We discuss things with Cattrill and explain his helpers causing some of the consternation We head south across the bridge and speak with Hartigan, proposing a mid bridge detente! All goes well and a handshake ensues and the commotion ends.

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, '''Mr Hartigan'''. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter '''Master Cattrill''' who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor ('''Mr Sykes''') and Reeve ('''Mark Turnbull''') who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cut of the cheese. 
We fly down south to speak with the goatmen. There is more goats and they are sending more milk down stream. We then plan to head back again across the bridge looking for Master Cattrill (aka the big cheese). However we get waylaid by the lead jongleur who wants to get across the river. We advise him to camp on teh southside and await the nights developments. We discuss things with Cattrill and explain his helpers causing some of the consternation We head south across the bridge and speak with Hartigan, proposing a mid bridge detente!

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, '''Mr Artigan'''. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter '''Master Cattrill''' who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor ('''Mr Sykes''') and Reeve ('''Mark Turnbull''') who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn.

Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cut of the cheese. 
We fly down south to speak with the goatmen. There is more goats and they are sending more milk down stream. We then plan to head back again across the bridge looking for Master Cattrill (aka the big cheese). However we get waylaid by the lead jongleur who wants to get across the river. We advise him to camp on teh southside and await the nights developments.

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, '''Mr Artigan'''. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter '''Master Cattrill''' who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor ('''Mr Sykes''') and Reeve ('''Mark Turnbull''') who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cut of the cheese. 
We fly down south to speak with the goatmen. There is more goats and they are sending more milk down stream. We then plan to head back again across the bridge looking for Master Cattrill. However we get waylaid by the lead jongleur who wants to get across the river. We advise him to camp on teh southside and await the nights developments.

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, '''Mr Artigan'''. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter '''Master Cattrill''' who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor ('''Mr Sykes''') and Reeve ('''Mark Turnbull''') who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cut of the cheese. 
We fly down south to speak with the goatmen. There is more goats and they are sending more milk down stream. We then head back again across the bridge looking for Master Cattrill.

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead”

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, Mr Artigan. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter Master Cattrill who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor (Mr Sykes) and Reeve (Mark Turnbull) who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there. We come across a cheese brownie who enhances the cheese for a small cutr.

The Bridge to the south, this is some 60ft long and stone at the ends with wooden bridge.

* The Golden Sheath Inn on the south side

* The Rams Head Inn on the north side, Built into a hill, some 3 stories tall, and sturdy.

* Known for its cheese making (on the north side of the river in the caves)

= Information =
South Gate is a small and pleasant town in the south of [[Carzala]] on the northern riverbanks of the River Regar. The main road continues south to the castle of Regar's Keep. The bridge was completed in 803WK. The town hosts an annual goat and cheese competition. 

* Regar's Manor: A mile west of South Gate is the local estate and holdings of the DeWinter family of Castle Chilton. The manor is run by the Lord Steward Danlaw, (died in 824wk) brother of the Chamberlain of Castle Chilton in Seagate. He rarely meets with guests or dignitaries, leaving that to the capable and social Lady Margo Danlaw, his wife since 793WK. Often for two weeks in spring or summer, the Baron of Stonesboro, Richard DeWinter, and his wife Lady Abal DeWinter, and other guests, visit for the hunting season. The manor has excellent grounds and a well appointed garden. 

Local villages and hamlets that report to the market town of South Gate are: All Tye, Southhold, Dwarf Home, Broken Arrow, and [[Duntow Manor|Duntow Ruins]].

Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, Mr Artigan. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter Master Cattrill who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor (Mr Sykes) and Reeve (Mark Turnbull) who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away. Then we decide to investigate what is happening around the town and go find one of the cheese mines and investigate there.

=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests".

• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men.

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, Mr Artigan. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter Master Cattrill who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor (Mr Sykes) and Reeve (Mark Turnbull) who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest. This is a clear-cut case of '''Industrial espifromage'''. We decide to wait for the troops to arrive while we eat and drink the afternoon away.

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

The manor is run by the Lord Steward Danlaw, (died in 824wk) brother of the Chamberlain of Castle Chilton in Seagate. He rarely meets with guests or dignitaries, leaving that to the capable and social Lady Margo Danlaw, his wife since 793WK. Often for two weeks in spring or summer, the Baron of Stonesboro, Richard DeWinter, and his wife Lady Abal DeWinter, and other guests, visit for the hunting season. The manor has excellent grounds and a well appointed garden. 

Local villages and hamlets that report to the market town of South Gate are: All Tye, Southhold, Dwarf Home, Broken Arrow, and [[Duntow Manor|Duntow Ruins]].

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, Mr Artigan. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter Master Cattrill who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing. 
We realise this is a civic matter and go seek the Mayor and Reeve (Mark Turnbull) who are in negotiations in the Rams Head Inn. We fly there and introduce ourselves to see what we can do. Local Lord Danlaw seems to have let things slide due to lack of interest.

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, Mr Artigan. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter Master Cattrill who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their goats milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the goat cheese has gone missing.

Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge. We note the colourful carts and locals with pitchforks so we suspect Vampires and mimes, both evil nasties! Once we get to the bridge we engage with an alleged leader, Mr Artigan. Problem is the use of the bridge between the Southerners and Northerners. Issue involve trespassing and cheese theft.
We walk across to the northern end and encounter Master Cattrill who represents the northern confederation. 
The issue is the southerners are selling their milk and reducing the supply for the cheese. Also some of the cheese has gone missing.

[[Image:South Gate 1.jpg|left|175px]] 

= Details =
The Bridge to the south, this is some 60ft long and stone at the ends with wooden bridge.

South Gate is a small and pleasant town in the south of [[Carzala]] on the northern riverbanks of the River Regar. The main road continues south to the castle of Regar's Keep. The bridge was completed in 803WK. The town hosts an annual goat and cheese competition. 

* Regar's Manor: A mile west of South Gate is the local estate and holdings of the DeWinter family of Castle Chilton. The manor is run by the Lord Steward Danlaw, brother of the Chamberlain of Castle Chilton in Seagate. He rarely meets with guests or dignitaries, leaving that to the capable and social Lady Margo Danlaw, his wife since 793WK. Often for two weeks in spring or summer, the Baron of Stonesboro, Richard DeWinter, and his wife Lady Abal DeWinter, and other guests, visit for the hunting season. The manor has excellent grounds and a well appointed garden. 

Local villages and hamlets that report to the market town of South Gate are: All Tye, Southhold, Dwarf Home, Broken Arrow, and [[Duntow Manor|Duntow Ruins]].

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out. We land south of the bridge and move towards the bridge.

=== Session 9 ===

[[Image:South Gate 1.jpg|left|175px]] 

South Gate is a small and pleasant town in the south of [[Carzala]] on the northern riverbanks of the River Regar. The main road continues south to the castle of Regar's Keep. The bridge was completed in 803WK. The town hosts an annual goat and cheese competition. 

* Regar's Manor: A mile west of South Gate is the local estate and holdings of the DeWinter family of Castle Chilton. The manor is run by the Lord Steward Danlaw, brother of the Chamberlain of Castle Chilton in Seagate. He rarely meets with guests or dignitaries, leaving that to the capable and social Lady Margo Danlaw, his wife since 793WK. Often for two weeks in spring or summer, the Baron of Stonesboro, Richard DeWinter, and his wife Lady Abal DeWinter, and other guests, visit for the hunting season. The manor has excellent grounds and a well appointed garden. 

Local villages and hamlets that report to the market town of South Gate are: All Tye, Southhold, Dwarf Home, Broken Arrow, and [[Duntow Manor|Duntow Ruins]].

Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm). Mattn is our Drug Mule as we find out.

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk).

• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity.

We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

=== Session 8 ===

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We arrive in advance of the recruits at 330pm while the recruits are due at dusk (6pm)

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
Its a stormy day and a rider comes into the camp in late afternoon and asks for Sgt Shadrock as help is required. Shadrock relates there is some unrest on Southgate and we are all needed. We get everyone organised and start the forced march with the recruits due to arrive at dusk.

We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests".

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th Reapsday
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 11th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* 12th
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community. Naturally, that includes Cazarla's most far ranging and heroic practitioners, the '''Seagate Guild of Adventurers'''. They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests". And as the Duchy has a stake in the establishment, it's less about funneling of taxpayer funds and more about supporting local Ducal interests'') and we have good quality food and drink. We get illuminated about a training centre outside of town we are to use - its a deserted village' from the time of the Dark Circle, known as [[Duntow Ruins]]. We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

; Frysday 4th Frost
We rise early and after breakfast we are quickly on the road again, heading SW to Broken Arrow and then East to Duntow Ruin. We arrive at "[[Duntown Ruins|Camp Jamieson]]" by noon and from a distance the camp looks a bit of a mess, nestled as it in between apple orchard and ruined buildings without much order even after being here for 6 months (since Summer 826wk). Sgt Shadrock reminds us that we are here as ‘Instructors’ to bring the men up to a standard where they can better cope with magical events and incidents. 

We enter and meet the assembled troops and their command Sergeants! There is [[Sergeant Oats]], [[Sergeant 'Lofty' Lyons]] and 24 recruits assembled on the parade ground. There are 4-foot patrols of 5 men each and a mounted patrol of 5 and they each have an interesting if rural name based on fruits and vegetables - ''obviously a vegen or some such determined the names''. 
• Apple Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Betsy, Pip (hayfever sufferer), Theo, Larry and Freddie (the beefy lad) 
• Pear Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Swede Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 people. Ponty, Claudio, Sarah, Jeremy and '[[Chad x]]. 
• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman. 

We introduce ourselves to the troops an each identify our areas of special training. 
We quickly put our stuff in a secure tent and then some of us take troops for a run to assess their fitness, some undertake training exercises to assess ability, some snoop around the camp and others assess the new mechanical and alchemical supplies we have bought with us. 
Kharmul and Mattin accompany Michelle and Vivian in a walk around the area to ensure we don’t have any detectable undead or such nearby. We definitively check the pond, the graveyard (which is empty of occupants) and the Duntow Manorhouse itself which is largely fallen in but likely a lower basement that is inaccessible without some hard work. 
In the evening a meal is had, and watches set. We tell the troops that we will be testing their watch skills and thus ensued a session of non-lethal ‘Murder in the Dark’ ,where we snuck up on sentries, tied their shoelaces, stole the daggers from their sheathes and such jocularity. 
Night passes otherwise uneventfully.

; Reapsday 5th Frost
Morning dawns and the night watch troops look scared, haggard and tired. We discuss what happened over breakfast and offer some advice for the future when on watch.
We 'Instructors' discuss how we are going to instruct the troops in terms of scenarios, practicing magical crime technique and detection of such, plan to expose the troops to lessor undead etc. Also a rider is sent to the nearest [[Castellan Borderers]] or army unit asking we be informed if there is any trouble nearby as we could use it as a training opportunity.

=== Session 3 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)
NOTE: we remember that 6 months ago some local guards had tracked some bandits down here

We arise on a misty and frosty day, we breakfast and review the results of last nights test of the sentries. 
We consider:
* Apple appear to be youngest, barring Theo who is in his 40's, and are enthusiastic but overall have less martial and worldly experience than the other patrols. They seem well acquainted with one another and have already knit as a team.
* Swede to be more martially trained and possibly a lot of ex-mercs who are martially capable
 
A number of the recruits seem tired and perhaps a bit scared but we'll harden them up before we're done! 
We see a rider approaching, - wait a person riding a skull comes down the road and Nick Bone joins us. 
We decide on some jobs for the day and we want to build some obstacle courses and pseudo walled areas so we send Carrot and Pear patrols off on a march with wagons to collect solid wood for us to use from the forest some 5 miles away. 
# We start making up a book of [[Seagate Guard - Standard Operating Procedures (magical)]] (SOP) of how to deal with certain situations for the recruits. 
# We identify some possible equipment that the guards could use - see [[Seagate Guard - Suggested Anti-Mage Kit]] 
# We test the [[Anti-Mage Grenado - Mk1]] we have bought down with us. The results are mixed and we think the guild might get involved in their manufacture, storage and security as well as [[Old_Seagate#Not So Respectable Folk|'helping' Mr Charmichael]], the semi-notorious Alchemist who helped develop it.
# We decide we need some bones and after some looking decide to recover the assortment of cow bones from the pond

We notice someone is missing from the work parties and so we go look for Chad. We follow tracks and detect a hole on the side of the Manor’s eastern side, which we follow a small shored up tunnel until it comes to a drop to a deserted room below. 

We drop in and find in the darkness a small 2 ft tall rock that had been carved into small statue form with a face – after DA’s (it goes to memory) we decide to touch it and we found ourselves in the same room but slightly blurred. With still noone else here we exit the room and go outside to find a nice sunny day – we DA a plant and get POO as Memory. 

We look south and the old wall seems more present. We look around and find Chad or as he’s known – young Charles, the grandson of Old Jim who used to work the land for Sir Duntow in around 795wk. Chad had left something behind from childhood and it was the statue. 

We talk with Chad who seems confused so a hypnotism is undertaken, which backfires but seems to be vary efficient. Chad was part of a party of highwaymen down here some 6 months ago. One drunken night they had an old brass ring and decided to put the ring in the old cow skull on a pole nearby. The effect was to bring on a phantom/ghostly/spirit bull which ran around and killed all his friends. Somehow Chad was lucky and trapped the spirit bull and removed the ring which caused it to dissipate, and he throw the ring in the pond. 

He was reminded of last summer before he fled and remembered that the cows had disappeared and were replaced by odd patches of yellow flowers like ragwort but not. The cows when they disappeared came back nastier and more aggressive. 

The brass ring it turned out had been stolen from a merchant they robbed who had a lot of junk. The ring had special markings in it. “With this ring I thee dead” 

The young Chad relates that his grandfather had carved the statue from a piece of the grandfather rock down by x which had broken.

=== Session 4 ===
; Reapsday 5th Frost (continued)

We return to the camp with Chad. We notice that there is a lot of yellow flowers around the camp. 
Questions: 
• Ring in the pond 
• Old one horn is mostly in the pond being recovered 
• Where are the bodies of his old companions? 

Dr Costard a skull doctor companion of Frenya talks about bad ragwort, it doesn’t have a way to propagate 
Divination of the flowers – they are phased into a spectral underworld space and there are a lot of cows there – angry cows. 

Nick summons a cow in the field and michelle controls it. We see that it has another set of bones inside it – unnaturally so. The cow was caused by the ragwort and how long animated 30 years ago.DA the inside bones – magical undead human skeleton from 30 years ago. He died during the dark circle. We surmise that this might have been part of a Rashak invasion plan to get undead in via cows. 

Evening dinner, set watches, night passes. 
Note: we need to check out the spring. 

; Sunday 6th Frost

At the spring there is an unusual rock – a grandfather rock. Ancient div on stone 
Its a High mana rock, it holds the conditions of the environment, it helps constant stability and it is part of a network 
We check out the graveyard and its stones there are made of the same material. 
There is an area of instability bounded by the stones and weird ragwort only inside the area of instability 

=== Session 5 ===
; Sunday 6th Frost (continued)

We continue investigating while giving orders and sorting out the draining of the pond. We get the obstacle course built using the extra wood that arrives with the other half of the camp. We keep track of the patches to assess their influence. Rebuilt the waterwheel. 
We plan to do training on cantrip resistance that night using 'volunteers'. 
Night passes

; Moonday 7th Frost
Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 12th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* Sunday 13th of Frost
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp.

== Scribe Notes ==
=== Session 1 - Seagate ===
; Duesday 1st Frost
We meet at the guild and discuss the mission with Harry Kale. [[Ladlaugh#Tarahell Alatáriël|Tarahell Alatáriël]] is here to ensure his 'daughter' Celeste is in this party. Harry is a liaison for the Seagate Council, and he, along with Acting-Senior Sergeant Shadrock have approached the Guild on behalf to retain the services of some adventurers to help them structure and administer a training course for some recently graduated guards over the course of the Winter 826wk.

After the regrettable events of the Summer 824wk ([[Black Watch: Let it Burn]]), Aka "Impapalooza", the Watch has been working on evidence based policing and outreach strategies to improve their ability to detect and mitigate supernatural factors and engage with criminal elements using magic, as well as strengthening it's partnerships with the community.

They have stressed to the Guild Council this is not intended to slight or supplant the Guild's expertise in these fields, but to aid in speedy and accurate assessment of disturbances on the scale between "tipsy firemage" and "literal lord of hellfire" scenarios.

We address the guild issues and then head into town to the Guard Headquarters. We then head off to Harry's place which is the [[Old_Seagate#The Dukes Arms|The Dukes Arms]] that he operates with his wife 'Becky' (''An understandable mistake - Rebecca Kale is the manager and the fact that they are married mostly means that Harry has slightly more leniency with pitching up at short notice with "council guests".

We have a quiet evening and an uneventful nights sleep.

=== Session 2 ===
; Th'rsday 3rd Frost
We rise early, grab horses we had sent here and ride to Guard HQ. There we gather up a wagon full of supplies and 2 other associates ([[Serento Siblings|Michelle Serento]] and [[Serento Siblings|Vivian Serento]]) and depart the city heading SE towards [[South_Gate]] (''the Carzalan town - not to be confused with Southgate in Southern Ranke''). 
Michelle is dressed warmly in White robes while her brother Vivian is bundled up almost completely on the cart in dark hooded robes. They stay on the wagon along with some of the party who choose not to ride horses for the day. 
The day passes uneventfully and we arrive in SouthGate before dusk, get lodging in [[The Golden Sheath]] Inn and have a good meal before setting watches to include Vivian who stays with the wagon in the stables for everyone's safety. 
Night Passes uneventfully.

• Carrot Patrol – a foot patrol of 5 men. 
• Rhubarb Patrol – a mounted patrol of 2 plains <s>barbarians</s> folks, 2 ex Brastor scouts and [[Brother Buzzard]] a shaman.

Breakfast and we continue work (at least we direct the squads) on the pond etc. 
Things to do: 
* Obstacle course
* Fey Health & Safety
* Rebuild cottages
* dig out better facilities
* build a small fort called '''[[Ragwort Redoubt]]''' 

Lunchtime... and afternoon, there is a commotion and we all swing into motion. Mattin and I fly down from the fort, Celeste leaps 400ft into the pond, becoming a hot muddy mess. the others charge in form nearer locations. We see the bull with a ring and a number of other cows. Combat ensues - but this ain't our first rodeo.

=== Session 6 ===
* Moonday 7th Frost continued

The battle ensues an looks good until Mattin eviscerates the undead bull causing the ring to be expunged and the bull as well as the rest of the herd dissipates away. We see to the injured troops. 
We take the ring and set to a divination with Rothgar, Kharmul 'ministers' to Celeste's wounds in a nearby barn and the others rest and await the results. 
The results are: It has an ITN, its designed to grow a herd of these cows, its been tangled up with the old magic nearby, existing 30-40 years, its an experimental device and causes nearby pile of cattle bones to animate and form the herd. We cogitate ways to destroy this item as it seems to have no real positive aspects to it. We apply the Mechanican and our collective ingenuity. We end up clefting the ring in twain using Athos's weapon and capability. The ring is gone and we collect the brass remnants to ensure no contamination. 
We continue working the recruits hard to ensure their training, and the fort continues to grow. Also do work growing crops to enable use in the future. 
We have a bonfire/feast, end the day and night passes

=== Session 7 ===
* Duesday 8th Frost to 12th of Frost
We cogitate and consider next steps. We decide to control collapse the manor so as to use the material while keeping the basement access covered and not collapsing. 

* Frysday 13th of Frost
We enter the ruins and go down and pass into 'Memory' where we encounter Old Jim. He talks about the angry old Cow spirit who appears angrier, even to him in this different dimension/time. The memory is that of the grandfather stones and place. We investigate things on this side of the veil. We talk with the angry spirit and discuss 'options' for his release, mooving along and other such issues. We attempt to use Mattin's connection to the world of the dead (Anpu's realm) to sort out the issue. A sentient construct undead bull disappears into the realm and Mattin returns sans Bull. We say goodbye to Jim and exit the area back to reality after we'd collected various samples of fruit, grapes etc. 
We get back and decide to dig up the remaining cow bodies and other areas of interest in the region of the camp.
