<br />
== Scribe Notes ==<br />
<br />
=== Session 1 - The Path Not Taken (Correctly) ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
Gnash: So, who is your wife?<br />
Quentin: Lady Chakra, she is away fighting in the drow lands.<br />
Zardoz: On which side?<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered us her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Z: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 - The Scandal at Fitzwarren Manor ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mabel, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mabel personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Maude le Vavasour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who unconvincingly tells Zardoz it was all his fault, while his aura reveals he was last affected by a love philtre.<br />
<br />
Mavric (quoting) "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"<br />
Peter: Hey?!<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 3 - The Talespinner Affair ===<br />
<br />
'''Th'rsday 3rd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We head east, flying in the morning, with Mavric taking Peter on her carpet. <br />
<br />
Mavric, Dart and Peter touch down in a smaller village than Clun to get an update and make sure we are going the right way. He left early this morning, so we aren't far behind.<br />
<br />
Finding him below, Dart glides down in front of him to ask about his saga in Clun. He gathers no extra information after 30 minutes of walking, while we circle overhead.<br />
<br />
Eventually, we crash/land, as Dart has probably told him everything anyway.<br />
<br />
Coming to a more rural town than Clun with no inn... we sit for a picnic with Alan, and Mavric very eloquently questions him, gleaming that his guild had been sent a request to perform at the manor on that day, and to do the full saga. Normally, he will only perform the shorter 1-hour version at the Harp of Clun. <br />
<br />
Dart: No love potions! We've all heard the cautionary tales about love potions... I'm the result of a cautionary tale! <br />
<Mavric and Zardoz make eye contact and very carefully practice their ''Simulate Emotions''>.<br />
Alan let us know he enjoys visiting a "friend" who lives just outside the village, and we suspect he may have a sheep in every barn..<br />
<br />
After staring at him, Quentin learns that the last magic to affect him was magical healing, his greatest magic in effect is a lesser enchantment and he has no college. Potentially done by a caster to hide their influence on him.<br />
<br />
We stop bothering him and fly to Alcazar to investigate some more. <br><br />
<br />
Z: I did offer to render him unconscious for a divination but the party is a goody-eight-shoes.<br />
<br />
Zardoz seeks the Royal College of Heralds and sends a message to the Chapter House for Father Peter, the Ureilite, to let us know he will be staying with the Heralds. <br><br />
<br />
Z: It was terrible. There were a mere six courses at dinner, the tawny port was only 10 years old, and the feather bed was too soft.<br />
<br />
The Herald's information was a bit interesting. It appears that about 150 years back the Fitzwarren lands were briefly escheated but later the act was undone, not just reversed but more made to have never happened. <Weird> Nothing useful here on Herder's land as there was no grant of arms, nor anything on the Vavasour family; those records would be up in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Peter, Gnash, and I check in at said Western Church Chapter House. We look into contacting the Ureilite bishop, and the party is accommodated in lodgings there. Our appointment is this evening. <br><br />
Dart and Quentin visit the Troubadour's guild, finding the messenger's office, who mistakes Dart for a lord due to his haughty demeanour. He manages to arrange a morning tea with the guild masters tomorrow at 10. <br><br />
Mavric went to watch a play. <br><br />
<br />
We still have some questions that need to be answered, and hope that Alcazar will be able to help:<br><br />
*Why the delay in the judgment?<br />
*Who planned the whole situation/Who stands to gain?<br />
*Where could a love philtre be bought in Alcazar? - Closest place to Clun to get one<br />
*Who would the Herder's land go to if Jordie were killed?<br />
** How did he get it in the first place?<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 4 - The Proposition ===<br />
<br />
Peter brings Gnash to his meeting with the "aged by the world" bishop, who denies Peter's request to investigate.<br />
<br />
Mavric learned that any visiting troubadours must pay big money to the guild, and the guild is creatively stifled - less risqué and more sanctioned.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Frysday 4th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We all (-Zardoz) head to tea in the morning at the Troubadours guild, with Quentin staying at the entryway to guard our weapons, then meet an elegant, old lady, Tamsin Whisperwind, who is the master that owns the guild. Despite Dart's poor manners, she was convinced by Mavric to disclose that one of her associates from the Weaver's guild had made the request for Talespinner to perform. <br><br />
<br />
With that information, we think potentially the Weaver's guild may not be too keen on the special sheep the Herders are nurturing. <br><br />
<br />
We have religious discussions over lunch while Zardoz seeks more information with the <s>Heralds</s> ''Hobbits''. <br />
<br><br />
Z: ''Dwarves'' <sigh> The information on Thropshire came from reliable local sources who are also tea and cake suppliers.<br />
<br />
He finds that Count of Thropshire (Gilbert de claire) has certain wants - Men, Women, gambling, drinking, gluttony and some gladiatorial fights that are run to please both him and Countess [[Sanctuary_Nobles#Chenaya|Chenaya]]. <br><br />
<br />
Dart and Zardoz talk up the new fighter from Erewhon behind the "talent scout", and Gnash displays his talents in a decisive victory. <br><br />
<br />
We are escorted to the Count's estate, and... a werebear, an orc, and a playwright walk into a manor. A proposition is made, and Mavric discloses that we need a writ allowing us to investigate in Clun. <br><br />
<br />
After some negotiation, the Count agrees that if Gnash can win an elite-level fight, we will get what we want. <br><br />
<br />
=== Session 5 - Writs, Wool and Weesearch === <br />
<br />
'''Reapsday 5th of Fruit'''<br><br />
<br />
Gnash was... in the fight, and while they traded blows, he came out unconscious.<br />
<br />
Quentin and I tend to him, while Zardoz works on a letter to send the count and let him know how to come find us. Dart then drops it off at his door while he's still out schmoozing.<br />
<br />
We discuss a potential last resort for breaking out Jordie.<br />
<br />
Zardoz finds that outsourced materials are frowned upon and are being bought elsewhere. So we need to think about where it's being bought.<br />
<br />
Dart, Mavric and I go to make a new proposition.<br />
"Two dwarves and a halfling seek a count, while an orc is out for one."<br />
<br />
The count offers that Mavric could have an adventure with him for the writ, or that we could free his cousin's land, which is south, from church knights, and he could give us a writ and extra payment (4500sp - 3sp per acre) as well as a further bounty for reclaimed lands that we might liberate afterwards.<br />
<br />
Gnash goes to get a drink with the man who beat him senseless, and Quentin supervises.<br />
<br />
Zardoz's research gleans that 150 years ago, when Fitzwarren was reinstated, Jordon Herder was granted permission by the elves to have the land and breed merino for service to the crown. And, if his bloodline ends, the land would go to Fitzwarren, but not the sheep.<br />
<br />
Zardoz drafts an official guild contract for the work we would be doing, which we would need to honour, with Peter and Mavric making two copies, so that we have one, he has one and the guild has one. <br><br />
<br />
'''Sunday 6th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
Zardoz confirms with the heralds (or Hobbits, at this point, who knows where he wanders off to) that the count's cousin did have a walled section on the coast to the south, with a harbour and a dock, and after it was liberated from the dark circle, Lady Grace was appointed as a church/Mordeaux version of a count. When the dark circle came in, the nobles left, and the church knights eliminated the undead, they were told they could govern their lands under the rule of the church and Lady Grace. The issue the church knights and Lady Grace have is that they are not great landlords aside from keeping roads safe.<br />
<br />
We all agree, sign the contract and are handed the writ as below:<br />
"To Sir Fitzwarren, the boy found en flagrante with your daughter is pardoned" -Count Gilbear Declaire<br />
<br />
Zardoz: Dart, I have a brilliant idea, you just have to trust me.<br />
Dart: Oh no. No good ever comes from that.<br />
Zardoz: No really. And it's something Peter will approve of.<br />
<br />
Our main questions when we go back to Clun are:<br />
Where is Herder selling his wool?<br />
Is he underselling it?<br />
Can we question Mabel on her perspective?<br />
<br />
=== Session 6 - Tracing the Source ===<br />
<br />
I hold my rod, and we successfully cloud away to Merino Station, arriving in the early afternoon.<br />
<br />
Cosimo Medici from Sanctuary purchases the station's wool. This partnership dates back to Herder's grandfather, offering a premium 4sp, while the neighbours only get 2sp.<br />
<br />
Herder's wife died two years ago, and Gnash attempts to speak to her spirit.<br />
<br />
At the manor, we reveal that we are from the [[Seagate Guild]] of Adventurers. Lord Fitzwarren is much more open to conversing with us now than he was when we posed as church knights. We are then asked to investigate on his behalf and carry out the sentence for whoever orchestrated the events.<br />
<br />
He takes us down to free Jordie, who is still affected, while Lady Vavasour takes Quentin to divine Lady Mabel. He finds that:<br />
*She possesses inherited traits, including resistance to ingested substances and a form of farsight that allows her to see invisibility.<br />
*She has a rank 20 blessing on unborn child (EN)<br />
*She was affected by the love philtre at around the same time as Jordie, but it wore off after around 2 hours.<br />
*The rank 20 blessing was triggered, not cast, so it could have been invested.<br />
<br />
Zardoz talks with Jordie on the way back up to Merino Station and discovers that a range of guild members were serving food and drink at the event.<br />
<br />
Quentin divines Jordie at night to find:<br />
*He was affected by a rank 10 love philtre, with 8 weeks to go<br />
*Also has a rank 20 blessing on unborn child (EN)<br />
*Was recently skin changed into a Rat by Mavric and Petit Mort-ed by Gnashdar, lasting one week<br />
*The blessing was also triggered.<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Moonday 7th of Fruit '''<br />
<br />
Mavric and Quentin go to talk to the midwife who delivered both Jordie and Mabel. She recommends them to the Herbalist, who performs blessings on crops, unborn children, etc.<br />
<br />
We head to the Herbalist (Roosker) in the forest. They are a long-lived, sentient being, and apparently have not made a love philtre in a while. They can only do an effective rank 10 blessing on unborn child.<br />
<br />
Finally, we head further into the forest to find and deal with the undead presence from earlier, which turned out to be a revenant.<br />
<br />
Key Considerations:<br />
*Where did the blessings come from? (someone who would have more knowledge of the family's history)<br />
*Does this support the theory that Jordie might be illegitimate? (more motive)<br />
*Whoever orchestrated it likely thought the land and sheep would go back to Fitzwarren, so they may have wanted to get in his good books.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 7 - Bearly Were-y ===<br />
<br />
The group travels, barely were-ily with the Necromancer and Namer leading, and the strongest at the rear.<br />
<br />
After hearing a strange wailing, a few of us become more wary, and Zardoz vanishes. <br />
<br />
Gnash communicates with the source of the sound, an undead dryad named Tithoria, who has been dead for 150 years, her tree poisoned through a hole in its trunk. <br />
<br />
Dart, Mavric, and Quentin investigate and determine that a wizard of some kind named [[Ranke|Ekkehart]] poisoned her heart, effectively killing the forest.<br />
<br />
This Ekkehart may be Duke Ekkehart von [[Ranke]] or a close relative.<br />
<br />
Peter then performs a miracle, revealing that his god has blessed an acorn, and that restoring the forest will require finding Ekkehart’s descendants and mixing their blood with it.<br />
<br />
<br />
After around 6 hours, we head back into town to find Ekkehart's descendants, whom Peter can somehow sense.<br />
<br />
We learn through conversation with Jordie's friends that an agent from the Weaver's Guild - Joe Dyer - was at the party with his son and apprentice.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Duesday 8th of Fruit''' <br><br />
Back at the farm, Gnash attempts to speak with the late Jordon Herder..<br />
<br />
We head to the manor in the morning to speak with Mabel. She tells us they were served passion tea from [[Konigburg]], which is all the rage, from Dyer's son Jonas, and apprentice Barney. Jordie and Mabel had tea from the same pot and had to drink 4 pots before there was an effect.<br />
<br />
The Fitzwarrens sent word to the Weaver's guild to send some liaisons to purchase wool, hoping Joe Dyer would come. I left my Whispering Wind Horn for them to contact us when Joe comes, so that we can investigate then.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, we drop Jordie off at Seagate to be un-love-philtred, have lunch, then go south to sort out some church knights.<br />
<br />
We remember that the Count of Thropshire's cousin's name is Baronet D'Audley Liulf of the Audley Demesne, which is south of the hills that are south of Fort Flowing.<br />
<br />
Landing on the beach not far from a cove with a jetty, we decide to enter in the morning.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 9th of Fruit''' <br><br />
We pass some poorly managed farming activity on the way to the manor.<br />
<br />
Once there, we meet Sir Gerard Tom (Raphaelite), who is eager to relinquish control of the estate to Peter, and he has been requesting relief for weeks. Although he initially prepares to leave, poor weather delays his departure. <br />
<br />
While Zardoz assists with packing, Peter is briefed on managing the estate, and the rest of the group -Quentin patrols the area.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 8 - Stewards of the Demesne ===<br />
<br />
'''Th'rsday 10th of Fruit''' <br><br />
<br />
The rain lessens as the morning comes, and Sir Gerard finally leaves.<br />
<br />
We find various jobs, with Zardoz and I flying up to Alcatraz to acquire the Count's cousin and bring him back to his manor.<br />
<br />
The Count advises us that a representative of Mordeaux needs to recognise that the land is no longer theirs, but nonetheless tells us where to go to find his cousin, Lord D'Audley (a local inn), and to find a steward for his land, as he almost never visits.<br />
<br />
Lord D'Audley requests that we find some suitable fighters/farmers who can serve as land managers for him in his stead - a noble job working for a baronet, cousin of the Count. We recruit brothers from the gladiators talent-scouting arena who are looking for an out. <br />
<br />
We present them to the Lord, who appoints them Seneschal Albert and Assistant Seneschal Ernest.<br />
<br />
We also purchase around 20 spearheads to bring down to the Demesne for defences.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Frysday 11th of Fruit''' <br><br />
Upon returning in the morning, the party informs us they encountered some owlbears overnight that were hunting a boar. Quentin tells us that they were Shapechanger Owlbears. <br />
<br />
We introduce Albert to the staff.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Reapsday 12th of Fruit''' <br><br />
Then we spend the whole day getting the brothers accustomed to their workload and Peter teaches the locals to make spears using the spearheads.<br />
<br />
'''Sunday 13th of Fruit''' <br><br />
In the morning, we cloud to South Gate.<br />
<br />
Some guards greet us near our landing point, and Peter leads with the truth that we are adventurers from the Seagate guild.<br />
<br />
We come in and ingrain ourselves with people around to get a feel of the land. It is a pretty strained and worn-out time, and they are not looking good with winter coming in. The church knights want to be doing something, getting fed up with inaction. Not much money is coming into the Abbey, as the church intercepts most of it.<br />
<br />
Some of these knights will be from [[Tuscana]] and some from Mordeaux. Lady Grace is a Ureilite, and so is the Abbess, which tells us the Ureilites mainly run this post.<br />
<br />
We are waiting to be seen by the Abbess so that Gnash can pump her for information on how we can get them to give up their claim to the demesne, but we cannot see her tonight.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 9 - The Cost of the Church ===<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Moonday 14th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the early morning, Gnash is awoken to get some... and get some information.<br />
<br />
The church is taxing the hell out of the lands for food, so there is no point in the farmers coming back, which means there is less food overall. Junior church knights were sent out as delegates to manage the land, but, similarly to Sir Gerard, they tend to be pretty useless.<br />
<br />
The Abbess informs us that if we can find something of value to Lady Grace, then Southern Ranke could be negotiated to exclude the demesne. She also tells us of Lady Grace's character, that she is efficient and ruthless.<br />
<br />
We think of some things we could trade, including holy relics, a piece of land in Borderlay, or a service to the Lady, like recovering a relic.<br />
<br />
The Abbess connects us with Lady Grace in a chamber within the Abbey. She wants us to help her receive aid from [[Tuscana]], so that they can stay in the area for longer.<br />
<br />
Most factions in Tuscana don't want the church in their home, affecting their politics, and are quite willing to send support to stay away. <br />
<br />
The most prominent name not supporting the church is Cesare Borgia.<br />
<br />
<br />
We try to think of ways we could force support from Tuscana or make the land more sustainable for the church presence, while also having a large debate on which way our moral compi are pointing.<br />
<br />
Zardoz ended up "finding" a letter from a Knight Captain to Borgia, with incriminating conversation. We just need a courier (a formerly dead bandit with church armour) to deliver the message to Tuscana.<br />
<br />
Before finding a candidate, we make sure to have a bag of various other letters and the right apparel. Couriers around Southgate tend to be light and fast, or armed with troops. We aim for light and fast.<br />
<br />
While we were discussing our options, Dart was writing songs about martial excitement to sing when we arrive in Tuscana.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Duesday 15th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We set out to find bandits, tracking from above and fail.<br />
<br />
In an attempt to bring them to us, we make an obvious camp, and enjoy a bit of drunken singing. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 16th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning, I spot signs of a bandit camp; they were lax in putting out the fire. We find where they may be and land a bit further up the valley.<br />
<br />
We figure Dart is the least threatening, so send him first, while others stealthily follow.<br />
<br />
A small boy who was tending to 20 goats rounds the corner and notices Dart, running off to a cave, screaming that Dart is a demon - perhaps his demon spider armour. <br />
<br />
Dart has a lengthy debate with the people, confusing them and all of us. Then Peter stumbles into frame, and they are understandably scared.<br />
<br />
Eventually, they come to their senses, realising they could not win that fight, and they respectfully ask,<br />
"Leave our home and be on your way."<br />
To which Dart responds,<br />
"It's not much of a home."<br />
<br />
After Gnash joins Peter, a small retreat stirs within the cave.<br />

<br />
== Scribe Notes ==<br />
<br />
=== Session 1 - The Path Not Taken (Correctly) ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
Gnash: So, who is your wife?<br />
Quentin: Lady Chakra, she is away fighting in the drow lands.<br />
Zardoz: On which side?<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered us her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Z: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 - The Scandal at Fitzwarren Manor ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mabel, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mabel personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Maude le Vavasour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who unconvincingly tells Zardoz it was all his fault, while his aura reveals he was last affected by a love philtre.<br />
<br />
Mavric (quoting) "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"<br />
Peter: Hey?!<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 3 - The Talespinner Affair ===<br />
<br />
'''Th'rsday 3rd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We head east, flying in the morning, with Mavric taking Peter on her carpet. <br />
<br />
Mavric, Dart and Peter touch down in a smaller village than Clun to get an update and make sure we are going the right way. He left early this morning, so we aren't far behind.<br />
<br />
Finding him below, Dart glides down in front of him to ask about his saga in Clun. He gathers no extra information after 30 minutes of walking, while we circle overhead.<br />
<br />
Eventually, we crash/land, as Dart has probably told him everything anyway.<br />
<br />
Coming to a more rural town than Clun with no inn... we sit for a picnic with Alan, and Mavric very eloquently questions him, gleaming that his guild had been sent a request to perform at the manor on that day, and to do the full saga. Normally, he will only perform the shorter 1-hour version at the Harp of Clun. <br />
<br />
Dart: No love potions! We've all heard the cautionary tales about love potions... I'm the result of a cautionary tale! <br />
<Mavric and Zardoz make eye contact and very carefully practice their ''Simulate Emotions''>.<br />
Alan let us know he enjoys visiting a "friend" who lives just outside the village, and we suspect he may have a sheep in every barn..<br />
<br />
After staring at him, Quentin learns that the last magic to affect him was magical healing, his greatest magic in effect is a lesser enchantment and he has no college. Potentially done by a caster to hide their influence on him.<br />
<br />
We stop bothering him and fly to Alcazar to investigate some more. <br><br />
<br />
Z: I did offer to render him unconscious for a divination but the party is a goody-eight-shoes.<br />
<br />
Zardoz seeks the Royal College of Heralds and sends a message to the Chapter House for Father Peter, the Ureilite, to let us know he will be staying with the Heralds. <br><br />
<br />
Z: It was terrible. There were a mere six courses at dinner, the tawny port was only 10 years old, and the feather bed was too soft.<br />
<br />
The Herald's information was a bit interesting. It appears that about 150 years back the Fitzwarren lands were briefly escheated but later the act was undone, not just reversed but more made to have never happened. <Weird> Nothing useful here on Herder's land as there was no grant of arms, nor anything on the Vavasour family; those records would be up in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Peter, Gnash, and I check in at said Western Church Chapter House. We look into contacting the Ureilite bishop, and the party is accommodated in lodgings there. Our appointment is this evening. <br><br />
Dart and Quentin visit the Troubadour's guild, finding the messenger's office, who mistakes Dart for a lord due to his haughty demeanour. He manages to arrange a morning tea with the guild masters tomorrow at 10. <br><br />
Mavric went to watch a play. <br><br />
<br />
We still have some questions that need to be answered, and hope that Alcazar will be able to help:<br><br />
*Why the delay in the judgment?<br />
*Who planned the whole situation/Who stands to gain?<br />
*Where could a love philtre be bought in Alcazar? - Closest place to Clun to get one<br />
*Who would the Herder's land go to if Jordie were killed?<br />
** How did he get it in the first place?<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 4 - The Proposition ===<br />
<br />
Peter brings Gnash to his meeting with the "aged by the world" bishop, who denies Peter's request to investigate.<br />
<br />
Mavric learned that any visiting troubadours must pay big money to the guild, and the guild is creatively stifled - less risqué and more sanctioned.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Frysday 4th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We all (-Zardoz) head to tea in the morning at the Troubadours guild, with Quentin staying at the entryway to guard our weapons, then meet an elegant, old lady, Tamsin Whisperwind, who is the master that owns the guild. Despite Dart's poor manners, she was convinced by Mavric to disclose that one of her associates from the Weaver's guild had made the request for Talespinner to perform. <br><br />
<br />
With that information, we think potentially the Weaver's guild may not be too keen on the special sheep the Herders are nurturing. <br><br />
<br />
We have religious discussions over lunch while Zardoz seeks more information with the <s>Heralds</s> ''Hobbits''. <br />
<br><br />
Z: ''Dwarves'' <sigh> The information on Thropshire came from reliable local sources who are also tea and cake suppliers.<br />
<br />
He finds that Count of Thropshire (Gilbert de claire) has certain wants - Men, Women, gambling, drinking, gluttony and some gladiatorial fights that are run to please both him and Countess [[Sanctuary_Nobles#Chenaya|Chenaya]]. <br><br />
<br />
Dart and Zardoz talk up the new fighter from Erewhon behind the "talent scout", and Gnash displays his talents in a decisive victory. <br><br />
<br />
We are escorted to the Count's estate, and... a werebear, an orc, and a playwright walk into a manor. A proposition is made, and Mavric discloses that we need a writ allowing us to investigate in Clun. <br><br />
<br />
After some negotiation, the Count agrees that if Gnash can win an elite-level fight, we will get what we want. <br><br />
<br />
=== Session 5 - Writs, Wool and Weesearch === <br />
<br />
'''Reapsday 5th of Fruit'''<br><br />
<br />
Gnash was... in the fight, and while they traded blows, he came out unconscious.<br />
<br />
Quentin and I tend to him, while Zardoz works on a letter to send the count and let him know how to come find us. Dart then drops it off at his door while he's still out schmoozing.<br />
<br />
We discuss a potential last resort for breaking out Jordie.<br />
<br />
Zardoz finds that outsourced materials are frowned upon and are being bought elsewhere. So we need to think about where it's being bought.<br />
<br />
Dart, Mavric and I go to make a new proposition.<br />
"Two dwarves and a halfling seek a count, while an orc is out for one."<br />
<br />
The count offers that Mavric could have an adventure with him for the writ, or that we could free his cousin's land, which is south, from church knights, and he could give us a writ and extra payment (4500sp - 3sp per acre) as well as a further bounty for reclaimed lands that we might liberate afterwards.<br />
<br />
Gnash goes to get a drink with the man who beat him senseless, and Quentin supervises.<br />
<br />
Zardoz's research gleans that 150 years ago, when Fitzwarren was reinstated, Jordon Herder was granted permission by the elves to have the land and breed merino for service to the crown. And, if his bloodline ends, the land would go to Fitzwarren, but not the sheep.<br />
<br />
Zardoz drafts an official guild contract for the work we would be doing, which we would need to honour, with Peter and Mavric making two copies, so that we have one, he has one and the guild has one. <br><br />
<br />
'''Sunday 6th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
Zardoz confirms with the heralds (or Hobbits, at this point, who knows where he wanders off to) that the count's cousin did have a walled section on the coast to the south, with a harbour and a dock, and after it was liberated from the dark circle, Lady Grace was appointed as a church/Mordeaux version of a count. When the dark circle came in, the nobles left, and the church knights eliminated the undead, they were told they could govern their lands under the rule of the church and Lady Grace. The issue the church knights and Lady Grace have is that they are not great landlords aside from keeping roads safe.<br />
<br />
We all agree, sign the contract and are handed the writ as below:<br />
"To Sir Fitzwarren, the boy found en flagrante with your daughter is pardoned" -Count Gilbear Declaire<br />
<br />
Zardoz: Dart, I have a brilliant idea, you just have to trust me.<br />
Dart: Oh no. No good ever comes from that.<br />
Zardoz: No really. And it's something Peter will approve of.<br />
<br />
Our main questions when we go back to Clun are:<br />
Where is Herder selling his wool?<br />
Is he underselling it?<br />
Can we question Mabel on her perspective?<br />
<br />
=== Session 6 - Tracing the Source ===<br />
<br />
I hold my rod, and we successfully cloud away to Merino Station, arriving in the early afternoon.<br />
<br />
Cosimo Medici from Sanctuary purchases the station's wool. This partnership dates back to Herder's grandfather, offering a premium 4sp, while the neighbours only get 2sp.<br />
<br />
Herder's wife died two years ago, and Gnash attempts to speak to her spirit.<br />
<br />
At the manor, we reveal that we are from the [[Seagate Guild]] of Adventurers. Lord Fitzwarren is much more open to conversing with us now than he was when we posed as church knights. We are then asked to investigate on his behalf and carry out the sentence for whoever orchestrated the events.<br />
<br />
He takes us down to free Jordie, who is still affected, while Lady Vavasour takes Quentin to divine Lady Mabel. He finds that:<br />
*She possesses inherited traits, including resistance to ingested substances and a form of farsight that allows her to see invisibility.<br />
*She has a rank 20 blessing on unborn child (EN)<br />
*She was affected by the love philtre at around the same time as Jordie, but it wore off after around 2 hours.<br />
*The rank 20 blessing was triggered, not cast, so it could have been invested.<br />
<br />
Zardoz talks with Jordie on the way back up to Merino Station and discovers that a range of guild members were serving food and drink at the event.<br />
<br />
Quentin divines Jordie at night to find:<br />
*He was affected by a rank 10 love philtre, with 8 weeks to go<br />
*Also has a rank 20 blessing on unborn child (EN)<br />
*Was recently skin changed into a Rat by Mavric and Petit Mort-ed by Gnashdar, lasting one week<br />
*The blessing was also triggered.<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Moonday 7th of Fruit '''<br />
<br />
Mavric and Quentin go to talk to the midwife who delivered both Jordie and Mabel. She recommends them to the Herbalist, who performs blessings on crops, unborn children, etc.<br />
<br />
We head to the Herbalist (Roosker) in the forest. They are a long-lived, sentient being, and apparently have not made a love philtre in a while. They can only do an effective rank 10 blessing on unborn child.<br />
<br />
Finally, we head further into the forest to find and deal with the undead presence from earlier, which turned out to be a revenant.<br />
<br />
Key Considerations:<br />
*Where did the blessings come from? (someone who would have more knowledge of the family's history)<br />
*Does this support the theory that Jordie might be illegitimate? (more motive)<br />
*Whoever orchestrated it likely thought the land and sheep would go back to Fitzwarren, so they may have wanted to get in his good books.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 7 - Bearly Were-y ===<br />
<br />
The group travels, barely were-ily with the Necromancer and Namer leading, and the strongest at the rear.<br />
<br />
After hearing a strange wailing, a few of us become more wary, and Zardoz vanishes. <br />
<br />
Gnash communicates with the source of the sound, an undead dryad named Tithoria, who has been dead for 150 years, her tree poisoned through a hole in its trunk. <br />
<br />
Dart, Mavric, and Quentin investigate and determine that a wizard of some kind named [[Ranke|Ekkehart]] poisoned her heart, effectively killing the forest.<br />
<br />
This Ekkehart may be Duke Ekkehart von [[Ranke]] or a close relative.<br />
<br />
Peter then performs a miracle, revealing that his god has blessed an acorn, and that restoring the forest will require finding Ekkehart’s descendants and mixing their blood with it.<br />
<br />
<br />
After around 6 hours, we head back into town to find Ekkehart's descendants, whom Peter can somehow sense.<br />
<br />
We learn through conversation with Jordie's friends that an agent from the Weaver's Guild - Joe Dyer - was at the party with his son and apprentice.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Duesday 8th of Fruit''' <br><br />
Back at the farm, Gnash attempts to speak with the late Jordon Herder..<br />
<br />
We head to the manor in the morning to speak with Mabel. She tells us they were served passion tea from [[Konigburg]], which is all the rage, from Dyer's son Jonas, and apprentice Barney. Jordie and Mabel had tea from the same pot and had to drink 4 pots before there was an effect.<br />
<br />
The Fitzwarrens sent word to the Weaver's guild to send some liaisons to purchase wool, hoping Joe Dyer would come. I left my Whispering Wind Horn for them to contact us when Joe comes, so that we can investigate then.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, we drop Jordie off at Seagate to be un-love-philtred, have lunch, then go south to sort out some church knights.<br />
<br />
We remember that the Count of Thropshire's cousin's name is Audley Liulf of D'audley Demesne, which is south of the hills that are south of Fort Flowing.<br />
<br />
Landing on the beach not far from a cove with a jetty, we decide to enter in the morning.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 9th of Fruit''' <br><br />
We pass some poorly managed farming activity on the way to the manor.<br />
<br />
Once there, we meet Sir Gerard (Raphaelite), who is eager to relinquish control of the estate to Peter, and he has been requesting relief for weeks. Although he initially prepares to leave, poor weather delays his departure. <br />
<br />
While Zardoz assists with packing, Peter is briefed on managing the estate, and the rest of the group -Quentin patrols the area.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 8 - Stewards of the Demesne ===<br />
<br />
'''Th'rsday 10th of Fruit''' <br><br />
<br />
The rain lessens as the morning comes, and Sir Gerard finally leaves.<br />
<br />
We find various jobs, with Zardoz and I flying up to Alcatraz to acquire the Count's cousin and bring him back to his manor.<br />
<br />
The Count advises us that a representative of Mordeaux needs to recognise that the land is no longer theirs, but nonetheless tells us where to go to find his cousin, Lord Audley (a local inn), and to find a steward for his land, as he almost never visits.<br />
<br />
Lord Audley requests that we find some suitable fighters/farmers who can serve as land managers for him in his stead - a noble job working for a baronet, cousin of the Count. We recruit brothers from the gladiators talent-scouting arena who are looking for an out. <br />
<br />
We present them to the Lord, who appoints them Seneschal Albert and Assistant Seneschal Ernest.<br />
<br />
We also purchase around 20 spearheads to bring down to the Demesne for defences.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Frysday 11th of Fruit''' <br><br />
Upon returning in the morning, the party informs us they encountered some owlbears overnight that were hunting a boar. Quentin tells us that they were Shapechanger Owlbears. <br />
<br />
We introduce Albert to the staff.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Reapsday 12th of Fruit''' <br><br />
Then we spend the whole day getting the brothers accustomed to their workload and Peter teaches the locals to make spears using the spearheads.<br />
<br />
'''Sunday 13th of Fruit''' <br><br />
In the morning, we cloud to South Gate.<br />
<br />
Some guards greet us near our landing point, and Peter leads with the truth that we are adventurers from the Seagate guild.<br />
<br />
We come in and ingrain ourselves with people around to get a feel of the land. It is a pretty strained and worn-out time, and they are not looking good with winter coming in. The church knights want to be doing something, getting fed up with inaction. Not much money is coming into the Abbey, as the church intercepts most of it.<br />
<br />
Some of these knights will be from Tuscarna and some from Mordeaux. Lady Grace is a Ureilite, and so is the Abbess, which tells us the Ureilites mainly run this post.<br />
<br />
We are waiting to be seen by the Abbess so that Gnash can pump her for information on how we can get them to give up their claim to the demesne, but we cannot see her tonight.<br />

<br />
== Scribe Notes ==<br />
<br />
=== Session 1 - The Path Not Taken (Correctly) ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
Gnash: So, who is your wife?<br />
Quentin: Lady Chakra, she is away fighting in the drow lands.<br />
Zardoz: On which side?<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered us her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Z: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 - The Scandal at Fitzwarren Manor ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mabel, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mabel personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Maude le Vavasour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who unconvincingly tells Zardoz it was all his fault, while his aura reveals he was last affected by a love philtre.<br />
<br />
Mavric (quoting) "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"<br />
Peter: Hey?!<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 3 - The Talespinner Affair ===<br />
<br />
'''Th'rsday 3rd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We head east, flying in the morning, with Mavric taking Peter on her carpet. <br />
<br />
Mavric, Dart and Peter touch down in a smaller village than Clun to get an update and make sure we are going the right way. He left early this morning, so we aren't far behind.<br />
<br />
Finding him below, Dart glides down in front of him to ask about his saga in Clun. He gathers no extra information after 30 minutes of walking, while we circle overhead.<br />
<br />
Eventually, we crash/land, as Dart has probably told him everything anyway.<br />
<br />
Coming to a more rural town than Clun with no inn... we sit for a picnic with Alan, and Mavric very eloquently questions him, gleaming that his guild had been sent a request to perform at the manor on that day, and to do the full saga. Normally, he will only perform the shorter 1-hour version at the Harp of Clun. <br />
<br />
Dart: No love potions! We've all heard the cautionary tales about love potions... I'm the result of a cautionary tale! <br />
<Mavric and Zardoz make eye contact and very carefully practice their ''Simulate Emotions''>.<br />
Alan let us know he enjoys visiting a "friend" who lives just outside the village, and we suspect he may have a sheep in every barn..<br />
<br />
After staring at him, Quentin learns that the last magic to affect him was magical healing, his greatest magic in effect is a lesser enchantment and he has no college. Potentially done by a caster to hide their influence on him.<br />
<br />
We stop bothering him and fly to Alcazar to investigate some more. <br><br />
<br />
Z: I did offer to render him unconscious for a divination but the party is a goody-eight-shoes.<br />
<br />
Zardoz seeks the Royal College of Heralds and sends a message to the Chapter House for Father Peter, the Ureilite, to let us know he will be staying with the Heralds. <br><br />
<br />
Z: It was terrible. There were a mere six courses at dinner, the tawny port was only 10 years old, and the feather bed was too soft.<br />
<br />
The Herald's information was a bit interesting. It appears that about 150 years back the Fitzwarren lands were briefly escheated but later the act was undone, not just reversed but more made to have never happened. <Weird> Nothing useful here on Herder's land as there was no grant of arms, nor anything on the Vavasour family; those records would be up in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Peter, Gnash, and I check in at said Western Church Chapter House. We look into contacting the Ureilite bishop, and the party is accommodated in lodgings there. Our appointment is this evening. <br><br />
Dart and Quentin visit the Troubadour's guild, finding the messenger's office, who mistakes Dart for a lord due to his haughty demeanour. He manages to arrange a morning tea with the guild masters tomorrow at 10. <br><br />
Mavric went to watch a play. <br><br />
<br />
We still have some questions that need to be answered, and hope that Alcazar will be able to help:<br><br />
*Why the delay in the judgment?<br />
*Who planned the whole situation/Who stands to gain?<br />
*Where could a love philtre be bought in Alcazar? - Closest place to Clun to get one<br />
*Who would the Herder's land go to if Jordie were killed?<br />
** How did he get it in the first place?<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 4 - The Proposition ===<br />
<br />
Peter brings Gnash to his meeting with the "aged by the world" bishop, who denies Peter's request to investigate.<br />
<br />
Mavric learned that any visiting troubadours must pay big money to the guild, and the guild is creatively stifled - less risqué and more sanctioned.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Frysday 4th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We all (-Zardoz) head to tea in the morning at the Troubadours guild, with Quentin staying at the entryway to guard our weapons, then meet an elegant, old lady, Tamsin Whisperwind, who is the master that owns the guild. Despite Dart's poor manners, she was convinced by Mavric to disclose that one of her associates from the Weaver's guild had made the request for Talespinner to perform. <br><br />
<br />
With that information, we think potentially the Weaver's guild may not be too keen on the special sheep the Herders are nurturing. <br><br />
<br />
We have religious discussions over lunch while Zardoz seeks more information with the <s>Heralds</s> ''Hobbits''. <br />
<br><br />
Z: ''Dwarves'' <sigh> The information on Thropshire came from reliable local sources who are also tea and cake suppliers.<br />
<br />
He finds that Count of Thropshire (Gilbert de claire) has certain wants - Men, Women, gambling, drinking, gluttony and some gladiatorial fights that are run to please both him and Countess [[Sanctuary_Nobles#Chenaya|Chenaya]]. <br><br />
<br />
Dart and Zardoz talk up the new fighter from Erewhon behind the "talent scout", and Gnash displays his talents in a decisive victory. <br><br />
<br />
We are escorted to the Count's estate, and... a werebear, an orc, and a playwright walk into a manor. A proposition is made, and Mavric discloses that we need a writ allowing us to investigate in Clun. <br><br />
<br />
After some negotiation, the Count agrees that if Gnash can win an elite-level fight, we will get what we want. <br><br />
<br />
=== Session 5 - Writs, Wool and Weesearch === <br />
<br />
'''Reapsday 5th of Fruit'''<br><br />
<br />
Gnash was... in the fight, and while they traded blows, he came out unconscious.<br />
<br />
Quentin and I tend to him, while Zardoz works on a letter to send the count and let him know how to come find us. Dart then drops it off at his door while he's still out schmoozing.<br />
<br />
We discuss a potential last resort for breaking out Jordie.<br />
<br />
Zardoz finds that outsourced materials are frowned upon and are being bought elsewhere. So we need to think about where it's being bought.<br />
<br />
Dart, Mavric and I go to make a new proposition.<br />
"Two dwarves and a halfling seek a count, while an orc is out for one."<br />
<br />
The count offers that Mavric could have an adventure with him for the writ, or that we could free his cousin's land, which is south, from church knights, and he could give us a writ and extra payment as well as a further bounty for reclaimed lands that we might liberate afterwards.<br />
<br />
Gnash goes to get a drink with the man who beat him senseless, and Quentin supervises.<br />
<br />
Zardoz's research gleans that 150 years ago, when Fitzwarren was reinstated, Jordon Herder was granted permission by the elves to have the land and breed merino for service to the crown. And, if his bloodline ends, the land would go to Fitzwarren, but not the sheep.<br />
<br />
Zardoz drafts an official guild contract for the work we would be doing, which we would need to honour, with Peter and Mavric making two copies, so that we have one, he has one and the guild has one. <br><br />
<br />
'''Sunday 6th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
Zardoz confirms with the heralds (or Hobbits, at this point, who knows where he wanders off to) that the count's cousin did have a walled section on the coast to the south, with a harbour and a dock, and after it was liberated from the dark circle, Lady Grace was appointed as a church/Mordeaux version of a count. When the dark circle came in, the nobles left, and the church knights eliminated the undead, they were told they could govern their lands under the rule of the church and Lady Grace. The issue the church knights and Lady Grace have is that they are not great landlords aside from keeping roads safe.<br />
<br />
We all agree, sign the contract and are handed the writ as below:<br />
"To Sir Fitzwarren, the boy found en flagrante with your daughter is pardoned" -Count Gilbear Declaire<br />
<br />
Zardoz: Dart, I have a brilliant idea, you just have to trust me.<br />
Dart: Oh no. No good ever comes from that.<br />
Zardoz: No really. And it's something Peter will approve of.<br />
<br />
Our main questions when we go back to Clun are:<br />
Where is Herder selling his wool?<br />
Is he underselling it?<br />
Can we question Mabel on her perspective?<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 6 - Tracing the Source ===<br />
<br />
I hold my rod, and we successfully cloud away to Merino Station, arriving in the early afternoon.<br />
<br />
Cosimo Medici from Sanctuary purchases the station's wool. This partnership dates back to Herder's grandfather, offering a premium 4sp, while the neighbours only get 2sp.<br />
<br />
Herder's wife died two years ago, and Gnash attempts to speak to her spirit.<br />
<br />
At the manor, we reveal that we are from the [[Seagate Guild]] of Adventurers. Lord Fitzwarren is much more open to conversing with us now than he was when we posed as church knights. We are then asked to investigate on his behalf and carry out the sentence for whoever orchestrated the events.<br />
<br />
He takes us down to free Jordie, who is still affected, while Lady Vavasour takes Quentin to divine Lady Mabel. He finds that:<br />
*She possesses inherited traits, including resistance to ingested substances and a form of farsight that allows her to see invisibility.<br />
*She has a rank 20 blessing on unborn child (EN)<br />
*She was affected by the love philtre at around the same time as Jordie, but it wore off after around 2 hours.<br />
*The rank 20 blessing was triggered, not cast, so it could have been invested.<br />
<br />
Zardoz talks with Jordie on the way back up to Merino Station and discovers that a range of guild members were serving food and drink at the event.<br />
<br />
Quentin divines Jordie at night to find:<br />
*He was affected by a rank 10 love philtre, with 8 weeks to go<br />
*Also has a rank 20 blessing on unborn child (EN)<br />
*Was recently skin changed into a Rat by Mavric and Petit Mort-ed by Gnashdar, lasting one week<br />
*The blessing was also triggered.<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Moonday 7th of Fruit '''<br />
<br />
Mavric and Quentin go to talk to the midwife who delivered both Jordie and Mabel. She recommends them to the Herbalist, who performs blessings on crops, unborn children, etc.<br />
<br />
We head to the Herbalist (Roosker) in the forest. They are a long-lived, sentient being, and apparently have not made a love philtre in a while. They can only do an effective rank 10 blessing on unborn child.<br />
<br />
Finally, we head further into the forest to find and deal with the undead presence from earlier, which turned out to be a revenant.<br />
<br />
Key Considerations:<br />
*Where did the blessings come from? (someone who would have more knowledge of the family's history)<br />
*Does this support the theory that Jordie might be illegitimate? (more motive)<br />
*Whoever orchestrated it likely thought the land and sheep would go back to Fitzwarren, so they may have wanted to get in his good books.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 7 - Bearly Were-y ===<br />
<br />
The group travels, barely were-ily with the Necromancer and Namer leading, and the strongest at the rear.<br />
<br />
After hearing a strange wailing, a few of us become more wary, and Zardoz vanishes. <br />
<br />
Gnash communicates with the source of the sound, an undead dryad named Tithoria, who has been dead for 150 years, her tree poisoned through a hole in its trunk. <br />
<br />
Dart, Mavric, and Quentin investigate and determine that a wizard of some kind named [[Ranke|Ekkehart]] poisoned her heart, effectively killing the forest.<br />
<br />
This Ekkehart may be Duke Ekkehart von [[Ranke]] or a close relative.<br />
<br />
Peter then performs a miracle, revealing that his god has blessed an acorn, and that restoring the forest will require finding Ekkehart’s descendants and mixing their blood with it.<br />
<br />
<br />
After around 6 hours, we head back into town to find Ekkehart's descendants, whom Peter can somehow sense.<br />
<br />
We learn through conversation with Jordie's friends that an agent from the Weaver's Guild - Joe Dyer - was at the party with his son and apprentice.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Duesday 8th of Fruit''' <br><br />
Back at the farm, Gnash attempts to speak with the late Jordon Herder..<br />
<br />
We head to the manor in the morning to speak with Mabel. She tells us they were served passion tea from [[Konigburg]], which is all the rage, from Dyer's son Jonas, and apprentice Barney. Jordie and Mabel had tea from the same pot and had to drink 4 pots before there was an effect.<br />
<br />
The Fitzwarrens sent word to the Weaver's guild to send some liaisons to purchase wool, hoping Joe Dyer would come. I left my Whispering Wind Horn for them to contact us when Joe comes, so that we can investigate then.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, we drop Jordie off at Seagate to be un-love-philtred, have lunch, then go south to sort out some church knights.<br />
<br />
We remember that the Count of Thropshire's cousin's name is Audley Liulf of D'audley Demesne, which is south of the hills that are south of Fort Flowing.<br />
<br />
Landing on the beach not far from a cove with a jetty, we decide to enter in the morning.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 9th of Fruit''' <br><br />
We pass some poorly managed farming activity on the way to the manor.<br />
<br />
Once there, we meet Sir Gerard (Raphaelite), who is eager to relinquish control of the estate to Peter, and he has been requesting relief for weeks. Although he initially prepares to leave, poor weather delays his departure. <br />
<br />
While Zardoz assists with packing, Peter is briefed on managing the estate, and the rest of the group -Quentin patrols the area.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 8 - Stewards of the Demesne ===<br />
<br />
'''Th'rsday 10th of Fruit''' <br><br />
<br />
The rain lessens as the morning comes, and Sir Gerard finally leaves.<br />
<br />
We find various jobs, with Zardoz and I flying up to Alcatraz to acquire the Count's cousin and bring him back to his manor.<br />
<br />
The Count advises us that a representative of Mordeaux needs to recognise that the land is no longer theirs, but nonetheless tells us where to go to find his cousin, Lord Audley (a local inn), and to find a steward for his land, as he almost never visits.<br />
<br />
Lord Audley requests that we find some suitable fighters/farmers who can serve as land managers for him in his stead - a noble job working for a baronet, cousin of the Count. We recruit brothers from the gladiators talent-scouting arena who are looking for an out. <br />
<br />
We present them to the Lord, who appoints them Seneschal Albert and Assistant Seneschal Ernest.<br />
<br />
We also purchase around 20 spearheads to bring down to the Demesne for defences.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Frysday 11th of Fruit''' <br><br />
Upon returning in the morning, the party informs us they encountered some owlbears overnight that were hunting a boar. Quentin tells us that they were Shapechanger Owlbears. <br />
<br />
We introduce Albert to the staff.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Reapsday 12th of Fruit''' <br><br />
Then we spend the whole day getting the brothers accustomed to their workload and Peter teaches the locals to make spears using the spearheads.<br />
<br />
'''Sunday 13th of Fruit''' <br><br />
In the morning, we cloud to South Gate.<br />
<br />
Some guards greet us near our landing point, and Peter leads with the truth that we are adventurers from the Seagate guild.<br />
<br />
We come in and ingrain ourselves with people around to get a feel of the land. It is a pretty strained and worn-out time, and they are not looking good with winter coming in. The church knights want to be doing something, getting fed up with inaction. Not much money is coming into the Abbey, as the church intercepts most of it.<br />
<br />
Some of these knights will be from Tuscarna and some from Mordeaux. Lady Grace is a Ureilite, and so is the Abbess, which tells us the Ureilites mainly run this post.<br />
<br />
We are waiting to be seen by the Abbess so that Gnash can pump her for information on how we can get them to give up their claim to the demesne, but we cannot see her tonight.<br />

== Scribe Notes ==<br />
<br />
=== Session 1 - The Path Not Taken (Correctly) ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
Gnash: So, who is your wife?<br />
Quentin: Lady Chakra, she is away fighting in the drow lands.<br />
Zardoz: On which side?<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered us her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Z: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 - The Scandal at Fitzwarren Manor ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mabel, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mabel personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Maude le Vavasour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who unconvincingly tells Zardoz it was all his fault, while his aura reveals he was last affected by a love philtre.<br />
<br />
Mavric (quoting) "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"<br />
Peter: Hey?!<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 3 - The Talespinner Affair ===<br />
<br />
'''Th'rsday 3rd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We head east, flying in the morning, with Mavric taking Peter on her carpet. <br />
<br />
Mavric, Dart and Peter touch down in a smaller village than Clun to get an update and make sure we are going the right way. He left early this morning, so we aren't far behind.<br />
<br />
Finding him below, Dart glides down in front of him to ask about his saga in Clun. He gathers no extra information after 30 minutes of walking, while we circle overhead.<br />
<br />
Eventually, we crash/land, as Dart has probably told him everything anyway.<br />
<br />
Coming to a more rural town than Clun with no inn... we sit for a picnic with Alan, and Mavric very eloquently questions him, gleaming that his guild had been sent a request to perform at the manor on that day, and to do the full saga. Normally, he will only perform the shorter 1-hour version at the Harp of Clun. <br />
<br />
Dart: No love potions! We've all heard the cautionary tales about love potions... I'm the result of a cautionary tale! <br />
<Mavric and Zardoz make eye contact and very carefully practice their ''Simulate Emotions''>.<br />
Alan let us know he enjoys visiting a "friend" who lives just outside the village, and we suspect he may have a sheep in every barn..<br />
<br />
After staring at him, Quentin learns that the last magic to affect him was magical healing, his greatest magic in effect is a lesser enchantment and he has no college. Potentially done by a caster to hide their influence on him.<br />
<br />
We stop bothering him and fly to Alcazar to investigate some more. <br><br />
<br />
Z: I did offer to render him unconscious for a divination but the party is a goody-eight-shoes.<br />
<br />
Zardoz seeks the Royal College of Heralds and sends a message to the Chapter House for Father Peter, the Ureilite, to let us know he will be staying with the Heralds. <br><br />
<br />
Z: It was terrible. There were a mere six courses at dinner, the tawny port was only 10 years old, and the feather bed was too soft.<br />
<br />
The Herald's information was a bit interesting. It appears that about 150 years back the Fitzwarren lands were briefly escheated but later the act was undone, not just reversed but more made to have never happened. <Weird> Nothing useful here on Herder's land as there was no grant of arms, nor anything on the Vavasour family; those records would be up in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Peter, Gnash, and I check in at said Western Church Chapter House. We look into contacting the Ureilite bishop, and the party is accommodated in lodgings there. Our appointment is this evening. <br><br />
Dart and Quentin visit the Troubadour's guild, finding the messenger's office, who mistakes Dart for a lord due to his haughty demeanour. He manages to arrange a morning tea with the guild masters tomorrow at 10. <br><br />
Mavric went to watch a play. <br><br />
<br />
We still have some questions that need to be answered, and hope that Alcazar will be able to help:<br><br />
*Why the delay in the judgment?<br />
*Who planned the whole situation/Who stands to gain?<br />
*Where could a love philtre be bought in Alcazar? - Closest place to Clun to get one<br />
*Who would the Herder's land go to if Jordie were killed?<br />
** How did he get it in the first place?<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 4 - The Proposition ===<br />
<br />
Peter brings Gnash to his meeting with the "aged by the world" bishop, who denies Peter's request to investigate.<br />
<br />
Mavric learned that any visiting troubadours must pay big money to the guild, and the guild is creatively stifled - less risqué and more sanctioned.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Frysday 4th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We all (-Zardoz) head to tea in the morning at the Troubadours guild, with Quentin staying at the entryway to guard our weapons, then meet an elegant, old lady, Tamsin Whisperwind, who is the master that owns the guild. Despite Dart's poor manners, she was convinced by Mavric to disclose that one of her associates from the Weaver's guild had made the request for Talespinner to perform. <br><br />
<br />
With that information, we think potentially the Weaver's guild may not be too keen on the special sheep the Herders are nurturing. <br><br />
<br />
We have religious discussions over lunch while Zardoz seeks more information with the <s>Heralds</s> ''Hobbits''. <br />
<br><br />
Z: ''Dwarves'' <sigh> The information on Thropshire came from reliable local sources who are also tea and cake suppliers.<br />
<br />
He finds that Count of Thropshire (Gilbert de claire) has certain wants - Men, Women, gambling, drinking, gluttony and some gladiatorial fights that are run to please both him and Countess [[Sanctuary_Nobles#Chenaya|Chenaya]]. <br><br />
<br />
Dart and Zardoz talk up the new fighter from Erewhon behind the "talent scout", and Gnash displays his talents in a decisive victory. <br><br />
<br />
We are escorted to the Count's estate, and... a werebear, an orc, and a playwright walk into a manor. A proposition is made, and Mavric discloses that we need a writ allowing us to investigate in Clun. <br><br />
<br />
After some negotiation, the Count agrees that if Gnash can win an elite-level fight, we will get what we want. <br><br />
<br />
=== Session 5 - Writs, Wool and Weesearch === <br />
<br />
'''Reapsday 5th of Fruit'''<br><br />
<br />
Gnash was... in the fight, and while they traded blows, he came out unconscious.<br />
<br />
Quentin and I tend to him, while Zardoz works on a letter to send the count and let him know how to come find us. Dart then drops it off at his door while he's still out schmoozing.<br />
<br />
We discuss a potential last resort for breaking out Jordie.<br />
<br />
Zardoz finds that outsourced materials are frowned upon and are being bought elsewhere. So we need to think about where it's being bought.<br />
<br />
Dart, Mavric and I go to make a new proposition.<br />
"Two dwarves and a halfling seek a count, while an orc is out for one."<br />
<br />
The count offers that Mavric could have an adventure with him for the writ, or that we could free his cousin's land, which is south, from church knights, and he could give us a writ and extra payment as well as a further bounty for reclaimed lands that we might liberate afterwards.<br />
<br />
Gnash goes to get a drink with the man who beat him senseless, and Quentin supervises.<br />
<br />
Zardoz's research gleans that 150 years ago, when Fitzwarren was reinstated, Jordon Herder was granted permission by the elves to have the land and breed merino for service to the crown. And, if his bloodline ends, the land would go to Fitzwarren, but not the sheep.<br />
<br />
Zardoz drafts an official guild contract for the work we would be doing, which we would need to honour, with Peter and Mavric making two copies, so that we have one, he has one and the guild has one. <br><br />
<br />
'''Sunday 6th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
Zardoz confirms with the heralds (or Hobbits, at this point, who knows where he wanders off to) that the count's cousin did have a walled section on the coast to the south, with a harbour and a dock, and after it was liberated from the dark circle, Lady Grace was appointed as a church/Mordeaux version of a count. When the dark circle came in, the nobles left, and the church knights eliminated the undead, they were told they could govern their lands under the rule of the church and Lady Grace. The issue the church knights and Lady Grace have is that they are not great landlords aside from keeping roads safe.<br />
<br />
We all agree, sign the contract and are handed the writ as below:<br />
"To Sir Fitzwarren, the boy found en flagrante with your daughter is pardoned" -Count Gilbear Declaire<br />
<br />
Zardoz: Dart, I have a brilliant idea, you just have to trust me.<br />
Dart: Oh no. No good ever comes from that.<br />
Zardoz: No really. And it's something Peter will approve of.<br />
<br />
Our main questions when we go back to Clun are:<br />
Where is Herder selling his wool?<br />
Is he underselling it?<br />
Can we question Mabel on her perspective?<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 6 - Tracing the Source ===<br />
<br />
I hold my rod, and we successfully cloud away to Merino Station, arriving in the early afternoon.<br />
<br />
Cosimo Medici from Sanctuary purchases the station's wool. This partnership dates back to Herder's grandfather, offering a premium 4sp, while the neighbours only get 2sp.<br />
<br />
Herder's wife died two years ago, and Gnash attempts to speak to her spirit.<br />
<br />
At the manor, we reveal that we are from the [[Seagate Guild]] of Adventurers. Lord Fitzwarren is much more open to conversing with us now than he was when we posed as church knights. We are then asked to investigate on his behalf and carry out the sentence for whoever orchestrated the events.<br />
<br />
He takes us down to free Jordie, who is still affected, while Lady Vavasour takes Quentin to divine Lady Mabel. He finds that:<br />
*She possesses inherited traits, including resistance to ingested substances and a form of farsight that allows her to see invisibility.<br />
*She has a rank 20 blessing on unborn child (EN)<br />
*She was affected by the love philtre at around the same time as Jordie, but it wore off after around 2 hours.<br />
*The rank 20 blessing was triggered, not cast, so it could have been invested.<br />
<br />
Zardoz talks with Jordie on the way back up to Merino Station and discovers that a range of guild members were serving food and drink at the event.<br />
<br />
Quentin divines Jordie at night to find:<br />
*He was affected by a rank 10 love philtre, with 8 weeks to go<br />
*Also has a rank 20 blessing on unborn child (EN)<br />
*Was recently skin changed into a Rat by Mavric and Petit Mort-ed by Gnashdar, lasting one week<br />
*The blessing was also triggered.<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Moonday 7th of Fruit '''<br />
<br />
Mavric and Quentin go to talk to the midwife who delivered both Jordie and Mabel. She recommends them to the Herbalist, who performs blessings on crops, unborn children, etc.<br />
<br />
We head to the Herbalist (Roosker) in the forest. They are a long-lived, sentient being, and apparently have not made a love philtre in a while. They can only do an effective rank 10 blessing on unborn child.<br />
<br />
Finally, we head further into the forest to find and deal with the undead presence from earlier, which turned out to be a revenant.<br />
<br />
Key Considerations:<br />
*Where did the blessings come from? (someone who would have more knowledge of the family's history)<br />
*Does this support the theory that Jordie might be illegitimate? (more motive)<br />
*Whoever orchestrated it likely thought the land and sheep would go back to Fitzwarren, so they may have wanted to get in his good books.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 7 - Bearly Were-y ===<br />
<br />
The group travels, barely were-ily with the Necromancer and Namer leading, and the strongest at the rear.<br />
<br />
After hearing a strange wailing, a few of us become more wary, and Zardoz vanishes. <br />
<br />
Gnash communicates with the source of the sound, an undead dryad named Tithoria, who has been dead for 150 years, her tree poisoned through a hole in its trunk. <br />
<br />
Dart, Mavric, and Quentin investigate and determine that a wizard of some kind named [[Ranke|Ekkehart]] poisoned her heart, effectively killing the forest.<br />
<br />
This Ekkehart may be Duke Ekkehart von [[Ranke]] or a close relative.<br />
<br />
Peter then performs a miracle, revealing that his god has blessed an acorn, and that restoring the forest will require finding Ekkehart’s descendants and mixing their blood with it.<br />
<br />
<br />
After around 6 hours, we head back into town to find Ekkehart's descendants, whom Peter can somehow sense.<br />
<br />
We learn through conversation with Jordie's friends that an agent from the Weaver's Guild - Joe Dyer - was at the party with his son and apprentice.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Duesday 8th of Fruit''' <br><br />
Back at the farm, Gnash attempts to speak with the late Jordon Herder..<br />
<br />
We head to the manor in the morning to speak with Mabel. She tells us they were served passion tea from [[Konigburg]], which is all the rage, from Dyer's son Jonas, and apprentice Barney. Jordie and Mabel had tea from the same pot and had to drink 4 pots before there was an effect.<br />
<br />
The Fitzwarrens sent word to the Weaver's guild to send some liaisons to purchase wool, hoping Joe Dyer would come. I left my Whispering Wind Horn for them to contact us when Joe comes, so that we can investigate then.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, we drop Jordie off at Seagate to be un-love-philtred, have lunch, then go south to sort out some church knights.<br />
<br />
We remember that the Count of Thropshire's cousin's name is Audley Liulf of D'audley Demesne, which is south of the hills that are south of Fort Flowing.<br />
<br />
Landing on the beach not far from a cove with a jetty, we decide to enter in the morning.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 9th of Fruit''' <br><br />
We pass some poorly managed farming activity on the way to the manor.<br />
<br />
Once there, we meet Sir Gerard (Raphaelite), who is eager to relinquish control of the estate to Peter, and he has been requesting relief for weeks. Although he initially prepares to leave, poor weather delays his departure. <br />
<br />
While Zardoz assists with packing, Peter is briefed on managing the estate, and the rest of the group -Quentin patrols the area.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 8 - Stewards of the Demesne ===<br />
<br />
'''Th'rsday 10th of Fruit''' <br><br />
<br />
The rain lessens as the morning comes, and Sir Gerard finally leaves.<br />
<br />
We find various jobs, with Zardoz and I flying up to Alcatraz to acquire the Count's cousin and bring him back to his manor.<br />
<br />
The Count advises us that a representative of Mordeaux needs to recognise that the land is no longer theirs, but nonetheless tells us where to go to find his cousin, Lord Audley (a local inn), and to find a steward for his land, as he almost never visits.<br />
<br />
Lord Audley requests that we find some suitable fighters/farmers who can serve as land managers for him in his stead - a noble job working for a baronet, cousin of the Count. We recruit brothers from the gladiators talent-scouting arena who are looking for an out. <br />
<br />
We present them to the Lord, who appoints them Seneschal Albert and Assistant Seneschal Ernest.<br />
<br />
We also purchase around 20 spearheads to bring down to the Demesne for defences.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Frysday 11th of Fruit''' <br><br />
Upon returning in the morning, the party informs us they encountered some owlbears overnight that were hunting a boar. Quentin tells us that they were Shapechanger Owlbears. <br />
<br />
We introduce Albert to the staff.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Reapsday 12th of Fruit''' <br><br />
Then we spend the whole day getting the brothers accustomed to their workload and Peter teaches the locals to make spears using the spearheads.<br />
<br />
'''Sunday 13th of Fruit''' <br><br />
In the morning, we cloud to South Gate.<br />
<br />
Some guards greet us near our landing point, and Peter leads with the truth that we are adventurers from the Seagate guild.<br />
<br />
We come in and ingrain ourselves with people around to get a feel of the land. It is a pretty strained and worn-out time, and they are not looking good with winter coming in. The church knights want to be doing something, getting fed up with inaction. Not much money is coming into the Abbey, as the church intercepts most of it.<br />
<br />
Some of these knights will be from Tuscarna and some from Mordeaux. Lady Grace is a Ureilite, and so is the Abbess, which tells us the Ureilites mainly run this post.<br />
<br />
Next, Gnash must pump the Abbess for information about how we can have them give up claim to the demesne.<br />

<br />
== Scribe Notes ==<br />
<br />
=== Session 1 - The Path Not Taken (Correctly) ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
Gnash: So, who is your wife?<br />
Quentin: Lady Chakra, she is away fighting in the drow lands.<br />
Zardoz: On which side?<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered us her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Z: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 - The Scandal at Fitzwarren Manor ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mabel, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mabel personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Maude le Vavasour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who unconvincingly tells Zardoz it was all his fault, while his aura reveals he was last affected by a love philtre.<br />
<br />
Mavric (quoting) "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"<br />
Peter: Hey?!<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 3 - The Talespinner Affair ===<br />
<br />
'''Th'rsday 3rd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We head east, flying in the morning, with Mavric taking Peter on her carpet. <br />
<br />
Mavric, Dart and Peter touch down in a smaller village than Clun to get an update and make sure we are going the right way. He left early this morning, so we aren't far behind.<br />
<br />
Finding him below, Dart glides down in front of him to ask about his saga in Clun. He gathers no extra information after 30 minutes of walking, while we circle overhead.<br />
<br />
Eventually, we crash/land, as Dart has probably told him everything anyway.<br />
<br />
Coming to a more rural town than Clun with no inn... we sit for a picnic with Alan, and Mavric very eloquently questions him, gleaming that his guild had been sent a request to perform at the manor on that day, and to do the full saga. Normally, he will only perform the shorter 1-hour version at the Harp of Clun. <br />
<br />
Dart: No love potions! We've all heard the cautionary tales about love potions... I'm the result of a cautionary tale! <br />
<Mavric and Zardoz make eye contact and very carefully practice their ''Simulate Emotions''>.<br />
Alan let us know he enjoys visiting a "friend" who lives just outside the village, and we suspect he may have a sheep in every barn..<br />
<br />
After staring at him, Quentin learns that the last magic to affect him was magical healing, his greatest magic in effect is a lesser enchantment and he has no college. Potentially done by a caster to hide their influence on him.<br />
<br />
We stop bothering him and fly to Alcazar to investigate some more. <br><br />
<br />
Z: I did offer to render him unconscious for a divination but the party is a goody-eight-shoes.<br />
<br />
Zardoz seeks the Royal College of Heralds and sends a message to the Chapter House for Father Peter, the Ureilite, to let us know he will be staying with the Heralds. <br><br />
<br />
Z: It was terrible. There were a mere six courses at dinner, the tawny port was only 10 years old, and the feather bed was too soft.<br />
<br />
The Herald's information was a bit interesting. It appears that about 150 years back the Fitzwarren lands were briefly escheated but later the act was undone, not just reversed but more made to have never happened. <Weird> Nothing useful here on Herder's land as there was no grant of arms, nor anything on the Vavasour family; those records would be up in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Peter, Gnash, and I check in at said Western Church Chapter House. We look into contacting the Ureilite bishop, and the party is accommodated in lodgings there. Our appointment is this evening. <br><br />
Dart and Quentin visit the Troubadour's guild, finding the messenger's office, who mistakes Dart for a lord due to his haughty demeanour. He manages to arrange a morning tea with the guild masters tomorrow at 10. <br><br />
Mavric went to watch a play. <br><br />
<br />
We still have some questions that need to be answered, and hope that Alcazar will be able to help:<br><br />
*Why the delay in the judgment?<br />
*Who planned the whole situation/Who stands to gain?<br />
*Where could a love philtre be bought in Alcazar? - Closest place to Clun to get one<br />
*Who would the Herder's land go to if Jordie were killed?<br />
** How did he get it in the first place?<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 4 - The Proposition ===<br />
<br />
Peter brings Gnash to his meeting with the "aged by the world" bishop, who denies Peter's request to investigate.<br />
<br />
Mavric learned that any visiting troubadours must pay big money to the guild, and the guild is creatively stifled - less risqué and more sanctioned.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Frysday 4th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We all (-Zardoz) head to tea in the morning at the Troubadours guild, with Quentin staying at the entryway to guard our weapons, then meet an elegant, old lady, Tamsin Whisperwind, who is the master that owns the guild. Despite Dart's poor manners, she was convinced by Mavric to disclose that one of her associates from the Weaver's guild had made the request for Talespinner to perform. <br><br />
<br />
With that information, we think potentially the Weaver's guild may not be too keen on the special sheep the Herders are nurturing. <br><br />
<br />
We have religious discussions over lunch while Zardoz seeks more information with the <s>Heralds</s> ''Hobbits''. <br />
<br><br />
Z: ''Dwarves'' <sigh> The information on Thropshire came from reliable local sources who are also tea and cake suppliers.<br />
<br />
He finds that Count of Thropshire (Gilbert de claire) has certain wants - Men, Women, gambling, drinking, gluttony and some gladiatorial fights that are run to please both him and Countess [[Sanctuary_Nobles#Chenaya|Chenaya]]. <br><br />
<br />
Dart and Zardoz talk up the new fighter from Erewhon behind the "talent scout", and Gnash displays his talents in a decisive victory. <br><br />
<br />
We are escorted to the Count's estate, and... a werebear, an orc, and a playwright walk into a manor. A proposition is made, and Mavric discloses that we need a writ allowing us to investigate in Clun. <br><br />
<br />
After some negotiation, the Count agrees that if Gnash can win an elite-level fight, we will get what we want. <br><br />
<br />
=== Session 5 - Writs, Wool and Weesearch === <br />
<br />
'''Reapsday 5th of Fruit'''<br><br />
<br />
Gnash was... in the fight, and while they traded blows, he came out unconscious.<br />
<br />
Quentin and I tend to him, while Zardoz works on a letter to send the count and let him know how to come find us. Dart then drops it off at his door while he's still out schmoozing.<br />
<br />
We discuss a potential last resort for breaking out Jordie.<br />
<br />
Zardoz finds that outsourced materials are frowned upon and are being bought elsewhere. So we need to think about where it's being bought.<br />
<br />
Dart, Mavric and I go to make a new proposition.<br />
"Two dwarves and a halfling seek a count, while an orc is out for one."<br />
<br />
The count offers that Mavric could have an adventure with him for the writ, or that we could free his cousin's land, which is south, from church knights, and he could give us a writ and extra payment as well as a further bounty for reclaimed lands that we might liberate afterwards.<br />
<br />
Gnash goes to get a drink with the man who beat him senseless, and Quentin supervises.<br />
<br />
Zardoz's research gleans that 150 years ago, when Fitzwarren was reinstated, Jordon Herder was granted permission by the elves to have the land and breed merino for service to the crown. And, if his bloodline ends, the land would go to Fitzwarren, but not the sheep.<br />
<br />
Zardoz drafts an official guild contract for the work we would be doing, which we would need to honour, with Peter and Mavric making two copies, so that we have one, he has one and the guild has one. <br><br />
<br />
'''Sunday 6th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
Zardoz confirms with the heralds (or Hobbits, at this point, who knows where he wanders off to) that the count's cousin did have a walled section on the coast to the south, with a harbour and a dock, and after it was liberated from the dark circle, Lady Grace was appointed as a church/Mordeaux version of a count. When the dark circle came in, the nobles left, and the church knights eliminated the undead, they were told they could govern their lands under the rule of the church and Lady Grace. The issue the church knights and Lady Grace have is that they are not great landlords aside from keeping roads safe.<br />
<br />
We all agree, sign the contract and are handed the writ as below:<br />
"To Sir Fitzwarren, the boy found en flagrante with your daughter is pardoned" -Count Gilbear Declaire<br />
<br />
Zardoz: Dart, I have a brilliant idea, you just have to trust me.<br />
Dart: Oh no. No good ever comes from that.<br />
Zardoz: No really. And it's something Peter will approve of.<br />
<br />
Our main questions when we go back to Clun are:<br />
Where is Herder selling his wool?<br />
Is he underselling it?<br />
Can we question Mabel on her perspective?<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 6 - Tracing the Source ===<br />
<br />
I hold my rod, and we successfully cloud away to Merino Station, arriving in the early afternoon.<br />
<br />
Cosimo Medici from Sanctuary purchases the station's wool. This partnership dates back to Herder's grandfather, offering a premium 4sp, while the neighbours only get 2sp.<br />
<br />
Herder's wife died two years ago, and Gnash attempts to speak to her spirit.<br />
<br />
At the manor, we reveal that we are from the [[Seagate Guild]] of Adventurers. Lord Fitzwarren is much more open to conversing with us now than he was when we posed as church knights. We are then asked to investigate on his behalf and carry out the sentence for whoever orchestrated the events.<br />
<br />
He takes us down to free Jordie, who is still affected, while Lady Vavasour takes Quentin to divine Lady Mabel. He finds that:<br />
*She possesses inherited traits, including resistance to ingested substances and a form of farsight that allows her to see invisibility.<br />
*She has a rank 20 blessing on unborn child (EN)<br />
*She was affected by the love philtre at around the same time as Jordie, but it wore off after around 2 hours.<br />
*The rank 20 blessing was triggered, not cast, so it could have been invested.<br />
<br />
Zardoz talks with Jordie on the way back up to Merino Station and discovers that a range of guild members were serving food and drink at the event.<br />
<br />
Quentin divines Jordie at night to find:<br />
*He was affected by a rank 10 love philtre, with 8 weeks to go<br />
*Also has a rank 20 blessing on unborn child (EN)<br />
*Was recently skin changed into a Rat by Mavric and Petit Mort-ed by Gnashdar, lasting one week<br />
*The blessing was also triggered.<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Moonday 7th of Fruit '''<br />
<br />
Mavric and Quentin go to talk to the midwife who delivered both Jordie and Mabel. She recommends them to the Herbalist, who performs blessings on crops, unborn children, etc.<br />
<br />
We head to the Herbalist (Roosker) in the forest. They are a long-lived, sentient being, and apparently have not made a love philtre in a while. They can only do an effective rank 10 blessing on unborn child.<br />
<br />
Finally, we head further into the forest to find and deal with the undead presence from earlier, which turned out to be a revenant.<br />
<br />
Key Considerations:<br />
*Where did the blessings come from? (someone who would have more knowledge of the family's history)<br />
*Does this support the theory that Jordie might be illegitimate? (more motive)<br />
*Whoever orchestrated it likely thought the land and sheep would go back to Fitzwarren, so they may have wanted to get in his good books.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 7 - Bearly Were-y ===<br />
<br />
The group travels, barely were-ily with the Necromancer and Namer leading, and the strongest at the rear.<br />
<br />
After hearing a strange wailing, a few of us become more wary, and Zardoz vanishes. <br />
<br />
Gnash communicates with the source of the sound, an undead dryad named Tithoria, who has been dead for 150 years, her tree poisoned through a hole in its trunk. <br />
<br />
Dart, Mavric, and Quentin investigate and determine that a wizard of some kind named [[Ranke|Ekkehart]] poisoned her heart, effectively killing the forest.<br />
<br />
This Ekkehart may be Duke Ekkehart von [[Ranke]] or a close relative.<br />
<br />
Peter then performs a miracle, revealing that his god has blessed an acorn, and that restoring the forest will require finding Ekkehart’s descendants and mixing their blood with it.<br />
<br />
<br />
After around 6 hours, we head back into town to find Ekkehart's descendants, whom Peter can somehow sense.<br />
<br />
We learn through conversation with Jordie's friends that an agent from the Weaver's Guild - Joe Dyer - was at the party with his son and apprentice.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Duesday 8th of Fruit''' <br><br />
Back at the farm, Gnash attempts to speak with the late Jordon Herder..<br />
<br />
We head to the manor in the morning to speak with Mabel. She tells us they were served passion tea from [[Konigburg]], which is all the rage, from Dyer's son Jonas, and apprentice Barney. Jordie and Mabel had tea from the same pot and had to drink 4 pots before there was an effect.<br />
<br />
The Fitzwarrens sent word to the Weaver's guild to send some liaisons to purchase wool, hoping Joe Dyer would come. I left my Whispering Wind Horn for them to contact us when Joe comes, so that we can investigate then.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, we drop Jordie off at Seagate to be un-love-philtred, have lunch, then go south to sort out some church knights.<br />
<br />
We remember that the Count of Thropshire's cousin's name in Audley Liulf of D'audley Demesne, which is south of the hills that are south of Fort Flowing.<br />
<br />
Landing on the beach not far from a cove with a jetty, we decide to enter in the morning.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 9th of Fruit''' <br><br />
We wander into town passing some unusual farming activity on the way to the manor.<br />
<br />
Once there, we meet Sir Gerard (Raphaelite), who is eager to relinquish control of the estate to Peter, and he has been requesting relief for weeks. Although he initially prepares to leave, poor weather delays his departure. <br />
<br />
While Zardoz assists with packing, Peter is briefed on managing the estate, and the rest of the group -Quentin patrols the area.<br />

Gnash: So, who is your wife?<br />
Quentin: Lady Chakra, she is away fighting in the drow lands.<br />
Zardoz: On which side?<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered us her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Z: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 - The Scandal at Fitzwarren Manor ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mabel, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mabel personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Maude le Vavasour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who unconvincingly tells Zardoz it was all his fault, while his aura reveals he was last affected by a love philtre.<br />
<br />
Mavric (quoting) "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"<br />
Peter: Hey?!<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 3 - The Talespinner Affair ===<br />
<br />
'''Th'rsday 3rd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We head east, flying in the morning, with Mavric taking Peter on her carpet. <br />
<br />
Mavric, Dart and Peter touch down in a smaller village than Clun to get an update and make sure we are going the right way. He left early this morning, so we aren't far behind.<br />
<br />
Finding him below, Dart glides down in front of him to ask about his saga in Clun. He gathers no extra information after 30 minutes of walking, while we circle overhead.<br />
<br />
Eventually, we crash/land, as Dart has probably told him everything anyway.<br />
<br />
Coming to a more rural town than Clun with no inn... we sit for a picnic with Alan, and Mavric very eloquently questions him, gleaming that his guild had been sent a request to perform at the manor on that day, and to do the full saga. Normally, he will only perform the shorter 1-hour version at the Harp of Clun. <br />
<br />
Dart: No love potions! We've all heard the cautionary tales about love potions... I'm the result of a cautionary tale! <br />
<Mavric and Zardoz make eye contact and very carefully practice their ''Simulate Emotions''>.<br />
Alan let us know he enjoys visiting a "friend" who lives just outside the village, and we suspect he may have a sheep in every barn..<br />
<br />
After staring at him, Quentin learns that the last magic to affect him was magical healing, his greatest magic in effect is a lesser enchantment and he has no college. Potentially done by a caster to hide their influence on him.<br />
<br />
We stop bothering him and fly to Alcazar to investigate some more. <br><br />
<br />
Z: I did offer to render him unconscious for a divination but the party is a goody-eight-shoes.<br />
<br />
Zardoz seeks the Royal College of Heralds and sends a message to the Chapter House for Father Peter, the Ureilite, to let us know he will be staying with the Heralds. <br><br />
<br />
Z: It was terrible. There were a mere six courses at dinner, the tawny port was only 10 years old, and the feather bed was too soft.<br />
<br />
The Herald's information was a bit interesting. It appears that about 150 years back the Fitzwarren lands were briefly escheated but later the act was undone, not just reversed but more made to have never happened. <Weird> Nothing useful here on Herder's land as there was no grant of arms, nor anything on the Vavasour family; those records would be up in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Peter, Gnash, and I check in at said Western Church Chapter House. We look into contacting the Ureilite bishop, and the party is accommodated in lodgings there. Our appointment is this evening. <br><br />
Dart and Quentin visit the Troubadour's guild, finding the messenger's office, who mistakes Dart for a lord due to his haughty demeanour. He manages to arrange a morning tea with the guild masters tomorrow at 10. <br><br />
Mavric went to watch a play. <br><br />
<br />
We still have some questions that need to be answered, and hope that Alcazar will be able to help:<br><br />
*Why the delay in the judgment?<br />
*Who planned the whole situation/Who stands to gain?<br />
*Where could a love philtre be bought in Alcazar? - Closest place to Clun to get one<br />
*Who would the Herder's land go to if Jordie were killed?<br />
** How did he get it in the first place?<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 4 - The Proposition ===<br />
<br />
Peter brings Gnash to his meeting with the "aged by the world" bishop, who denies Peter's request to investigate.<br />
<br />
Mavric learned that any visiting troubadours must pay big money to the guild, and the guild is creatively stifled - less risqué and more sanctioned.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Frysday 4th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We all (-Zardoz) head to tea in the morning at the Troubadours guild, with Quentin staying at the entryway to guard our weapons, then meet an elegant, old lady, Tamsin Whisperwind, who is the master that owns the guild. Despite Dart's poor manners, she was convinced by Mavric to disclose that one of her associates from the Weaver's guild had made the request for Talespinner to perform. <br><br />
<br />
With that information, we think potentially the Weaver's guild may not be too keen on the special sheep the Herders are nurturing. <br><br />
<br />
We have religious discussions over lunch while Zardoz seeks more information with the <s>Heralds</s> ''Hobbits''. <br />
<br><br />
Z: ''Dwarves'' <sigh> The information on Thropshire came from reliable local sources who are also tea and cake suppliers.<br />
<br />
He finds that Count of Thropshire (Gilbert de claire) has certain wants - Men, Women, gambling, drinking, gluttony and some gladiatorial fights that are run to please both him and Countess [[Sanctuary_Nobles#Chenaya|Chenaya]]. <br><br />
<br />
Dart and Zardoz talk up the new fighter from Erewhon behind the "talent scout", and Gnash displays his talents in a decisive victory. <br><br />
<br />
We are escorted to the Count's estate, and... a werebear, an orc, and a playwright walk into a manor. A proposition is made, and Mavric discloses that we need a writ allowing us to investigate in Clun. <br><br />
<br />
After some negotiation, the Count agrees that if Gnash can win an elite-level fight, we will get what we want. <br><br />
<br />
=== Session 5 - Writs, Wool and Weesearch === <br />
<br />
'''Reapsday 5th of Fruit'''<br><br />
<br />
Gnash was... in the fight, and while they traded blows, he came out unconscious.<br />
<br />
Quentin and I tend to him, while Zardoz works on a letter to send the count and let him know how to come find us. Dart then drops it off at his door while he's still out schmoozing.<br />
<br />
We discuss a potential last resort for breaking out Jordie.<br />
<br />
Zardoz finds that outsourced materials are frowned upon and are being bought elsewhere. So we need to think about where it's being bought.<br />
<br />
Dart, Mavric and I go to make a new proposition.<br />
"Two dwarves and a halfling seek a count, while an orc is out for one."<br />
<br />
The count offers that Mavric could have an adventure with him for the writ, or that we could free his cousin's land, which is south, from church knights, and he could give us a writ and extra payment as well as a further bounty for reclaimed lands that we might liberate afterwards.<br />
<br />
Gnash goes to get a drink with the man who beat him senseless, and Quentin supervises.<br />
<br />
Zardoz's research gleans that 150 years ago, when Fitzwarren was reinstated, Jordon Herder was granted permission by the elves to have the land and breed merino for service to the crown. And, if his bloodline ends, the land would go to Fitzwarren, but not the sheep.<br />
<br />
Zardoz drafts an official guild contract for the work we would be doing, which we would need to honour, with Peter and Mavric making two copies, so that we have one, he has one and the guild has one. <br><br />
<br />
'''Sunday 6th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
Zardoz confirms with the heralds (or Hobbits, at this point, who knows where he wanders off to) that the count's cousin did have a walled section on the coast to the south, with a harbour and a dock, and after it was liberated from the dark circle, Lady Grace was appointed as a church/Mordeaux version of a count. When the dark circle came in, the nobles left, and the church knights eliminated the undead, they were told they could govern their lands under the rule of the church and Lady Grace. The issue the church knights and Lady Grace have is that they are not great landlords aside from keeping roads safe.<br />
<br />
We all agree, sign the contract and are handed the writ as below:<br />
"To Sir Fitzwarren, the boy found en flagrante with your daughter is pardoned" -Count Gilbear Declaire<br />
<br />
Zardoz: Dart, I have a brilliant idea, you just have to trust me.<br />
Dart: Oh no. No good ever comes from that.<br />
Zardoz: No really. And it's something Peter will approve of.<br />
<br />
Our main questions when we go back to Clun are:<br />
Where is Herder selling his wool?<br />
Is he underselling it?<br />
Can we question Mabel on her perspective?<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 6 - Tracing the Source ===<br />
<br />
I hold my rod, and we successfully cloud away to Merino Station, arriving in the early afternoon.<br />
<br />
Cosimo Medici from Sanctuary purchases the station's wool. This partnership dates back to Herder's grandfather, offering a premium 4sp, while the neighbours only get 2sp.<br />
<br />
Herder's wife died two years ago, and Gnash attempts to speak to her spirit.<br />
<br />
At the manor, we reveal that we are from the [[Seagate Guild]] of Adventurers. Lord Fitzwarren is much more open to conversing with us now than he was when we posed as church knights. We are then asked to investigate on his behalf and carry out the sentence for whoever orchestrated the events.<br />
<br />
He takes us down to free Jordie, who is still affected, while Lady Vavasour takes Quentin to divine Lady Mabel. He finds that:<br />
*She possesses inherited traits, including resistance to ingested substances and a form of farsight that allows her to see invisibility.<br />
*She has a rank 20 blessing on unborn child (EN)<br />
*She was affected by the love philtre at around the same time as Jordie, but it wore off after around 2 hours.<br />
*The rank 20 blessing was triggered, not cast, so it could have been invested.<br />
<br />
Zardoz talks with Jordie on the way back up to Merino Station and discovers that a range of guild members were serving food and drink at the event.<br />
<br />
Quentin divines Jordie at night to find:<br />
*He was affected by a rank 10 love philtre, with 8 weeks to go<br />
*Also has a rank 20 blessing on unborn child (EN)<br />
*Was recently skin changed into a Rat by Mavric and Petit Mort-ed by Gnashdar, lasting one week<br />
*The blessing was also triggered.<br />
<br />
<br />
''' Moonday 7th of Fruit '''<br />
<br />
Mavric and Quentin go to talk to the midwife who delivered both Jordie and Mabel. She recommends them to the Herbalist, who performs blessings on crops, unborn children, etc.<br />
<br />
We head to the Herbalist (Roosker) in the forest. They are a long-lived, sentient being, and apparently have not made a love philtre in a while. They can only do an effective rank 10 blessing on unborn child.<br />
<br />
Finally, we head further into the forest to find and deal with the undead presence from earlier, which turned out to be a revenant.<br />
<br />
Key Considerations:<br />
*Where did the blessings come from? (someone who would have more knowledge of the family's history)<br />
*Does this support the theory that Jordie might be illegitimate? (more motive)<br />
*Whoever orchestrated it likely thought the land and sheep would go back to Fitzwarren, so they may have wanted to get in his good books.<br />

<br />
== Scribe Notes ==<br />
<br />
=== Session 1 - The Path Not Taken (Correctly) ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
Gnash: So, who is your wife?<br />
Quentin: Lady Chakra, she is away fighting in the drow lands.<br />
Zardoz: On which side?<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered us her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Z: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 - The Scandal at Fitzwarren Manor ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mabel, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mabel personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Maude le Vavasour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who unconvincingly tells Zardoz it was all his fault, while his aura reveals he was last affected by a love philtre.<br />
<br />
Mavric (quoting) "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"<br />
Peter: Hey?!<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 3 - The Talespinner Affair ===<br />
<br />
'''Th'rsday 3rd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We head east, flying in the morning, with Mavric taking Peter on her carpet. <br />
<br />
Mavric, Dart and Peter touch down in a smaller village than Clun to get an update and make sure we are going the right way. He left early this morning, so we aren't far behind.<br />
<br />
Finding him below, Dart glides down in front of him to ask about his saga in Clun. He gathers no extra information after 30 minutes of walking, while we circle overhead.<br />
<br />
Eventually, we crash/land, as Dart has probably told him everything anyway.<br />
<br />
Coming to a more rural town than Clun with no inn... we sit for a picnic with Alan, and Mavric very eloquently questions him, gleaming that his guild had been sent a request to perform at the manor on that day, and to do the full saga. Normally, he will only perform the shorter 1-hour version at the Harp of Clun. <br />
<br />
Dart: No love potions! We've all heard the cautionary tales about love potions... I'm the result of a cautionary tale! <br />
<Mavric and Zardoz make eye contact and very carefully practice their ''Simulate Emotions''>.<br />
Alan let us know he enjoys visiting a "friend" who lives just outside the village, and we suspect he may have a sheep in every barn..<br />
<br />
After staring at him, Quentin learns that the last magic to affect him was magical healing, his greatest magic in effect is a lesser enchantment and he has no college. Potentially done by a caster to hide their influence on him.<br />
<br />
We stop bothering him and fly to Alcazar to investigate some more. <br><br />
<br />
Z: I did offer to render him unconscious for a divination but the party is a goody-eight-shoes.<br />
<br />
Zardoz seeks the Royal College of Heralds and sends a message to the Chapter House for Father Peter, the Ureilite, to let us know he will be staying with the Heralds. <br><br />
<br />
Z: It was terrible. There were a mere six courses at dinner, the tawny port was only 10 years old, and the feather bed was too soft.<br />
<br />
The Herald's information was a bit interesting. It appears that about 150 years back the Fitzwarren lands were briefly escheated but later the act was undone, not just reversed but more made to have never happened. <Weird> Nothing useful here on Herder's land as there was no grant of arms, nor anything on the Vavasour family; those records would be up in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Peter, Gnash, and I check in at said Western Church Chapter House. We look into contacting the Ureilite bishop, and the party is accommodated in lodgings there. Our appointment is this evening. <br><br />
Dart and Quentin visit the Troubadour's guild, finding the messenger's office, who mistakes Dart for a lord due to his haughty demeanour. He manages to arrange a morning tea with the guild masters tomorrow at 10. <br><br />
Mavric went to watch a play. <br><br />
<br />
We still have some questions that need to be answered, and hope that Alcazar will be able to help:<br><br />
*Why the delay in the judgment?<br />
*Who planned the whole situation/Who stands to gain?<br />
*Where could a love philtre be bought in Alcazar? - Closest place to Clun to get one<br />
*Who would the Herder's land go to if Jordie were killed?<br />
** How did he get it in the first place?<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 4 - The Proposition ===<br />
<br />
Peter brings Gnash to his meeting with the "aged by the world" bishop, who denies Peter's request to investigate.<br />
<br />
Mavric learned that any visiting troubadours must pay big money to the guild, and the guild is creatively stifled - less risqué and more sanctioned.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Frysday 4th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We all (-Zardoz) head to tea in the morning at the Troubadours guild, with Quentin staying at the entryway to guard our weapons, then meet an elegant, old lady, Tamsin Whisperwind, who is the master that owns the guild. Despite Dart's poor manners, she was convinced by Mavric to disclose that one of her associates from the Weaver's guild had made the request for Talespinner to perform. <br><br />
<br />
With that information, we think potentially the Weaver's guild may not be too keen on the special sheep the Herders are nurturing. <br><br />
<br />
We have religious discussions over lunch while Zardoz seeks more information with the <s>Heralds</s> ''Hobbits''. <br />
<br><br />
Z: ''Dwarves'' <sigh> The information on Thropshire came from reliable local sources who are also tea and cake suppliers.<br />
<br />
He finds that Count of Thropshire (Gilbear Declaire) has certain wants - Men, Women, gambling, drinking, gluttony and some gladiatorial fights that are run to please both him and Countess [[Sanctuary_Nobles#Chenaya|Chenaya]]. <br><br />
<br />
Dart and Zardoz talk up the new fighter from Erewhon behind the "talent scout", and Gnash displays his talents in a decisive victory. <br><br />
<br />
We are escorted to the Count's estate, and... a werebear, an orc, and a playwright walk into a manor. A proposition is made, and Mavric discloses that we need a writ allowing us to investigate in Clun. <br><br />
<br />
After some negotiation, the Count agrees that if Gnash can win an elite-level fight, we will get what we want. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 5 - Writs, Wool and Weesearch === <br />
<br />
'''Reapsday 5th of Fruit'''<br><br />
<br />
Gnash was... in the fight, and while they traded blows, he came out unconscious.<br />
<br />
Quentin and I tend to him, while Zardoz works on a letter to send the count and let him know how to come find us. Dart then drops it off at his door while he's still out schmoozing.<br />
<br />
We discuss a potential last resort for breaking out Jordie.<br />
<br />
Zardoz finds that outsourced materials are frowned upon and are being bought elsewhere. So we need to think about where it's being bought.<br />
<br />
Dart, Mavric and I go to make a new proposition.<br />
"Two dwarves and a halfling seek a count, while an orc is out for one."<br />
<br />
The count offers that Mavric could have an adventure with him for the writ, or that we could free his cousin's land, which is south, from church knights, and he could give us a writ and extra payment as well as a further bounty for reclaimed lands that we might liberate afterwards.<br />
<br />
Gnash goes to get a drink with the man who beat him senseless, and Quentin supervises.<br />
<br />
Zardoz's research gleans that 150 years ago, when Fitzwarren was reinstated, Jordon Herder was granted permission by the elves to have the land and breed merino for service to the crown. And, if his bloodline ends, the land would go to Fitzwarren, but not the sheep.<br />
<br />
Zardoz drafts an official guild contract for the work we would be doing, which we would need to honour, with Peter and Mavric making two copies, so that we have one, he has one and the guild has one. <br><br />
<br />
'''Sunday 6th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
Zardoz confirms with the heralds (or Hobbits, at this point, who knows where he wanders off to) that the count's cousin did have a walled section on the coast to the south, with a harbour and a dock, and after it was liberated from the dark circle, Lady Grace was appointed as a church/Mordeaux version of a count. When the dark circle came in, the nobles left, and the church knights eliminated the undead, they were told they could govern their lands under the rule of the church and Lady Grace. The issue the church knights and Lady Grace have is that they are not great landlords aside from keeping roads safe.<br />
<br />
We all agree, sign the contract and are handed the writ as below:<br />
"To Sir Fitzwarren, the boy found en flagrante with your daughter is pardoned" -Count Gilbear Declaire<br />
<br />
Zardoz: Dart, I have a brilliant idea, you just have to trust me.<br />
Dart: Oh no. No good ever comes from that.<br />
Zardoz: No really. And it's something Peter will approve of.<br />
<br />
Our main questions when we go back to Clun are:<br />
Where is Herder selling his wool?<br />
Is he underselling it?<br />
Can we question Mabel on her perspective?<br />

<br />
== Scribe Notes ==<br />
<br />
=== Session 1 - The Path Not Taken (Correctly) ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
Gnash: So, who is your wife?<br />
Quentin: Lady Chakra, she is away fighting in the drow lands.<br />
Zardoz: On which side?<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered us her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Z: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 - The Scandal at Fitzwarren Manor ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mabel, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mabel personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Maude le Vavasour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who unconvincingly tells Zardoz it was all his fault, while his aura reveals he was last affected by a love philtre.<br />
<br />
Mavric (quoting) "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"<br />
Peter: Hey?!<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 3 - The Talespinner Affair ===<br />
<br />
'''Th'rsday 3rd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We head east, flying in the morning, with Mavric taking Peter on her carpet. <br />
<br />
Mavric, Dart and Peter touch down in a smaller village than Clun to get an update and make sure we are going the right way. He left early this morning, so we aren't far behind.<br />
<br />
Finding him below, Dart glides down in front of him to ask about his saga in Clun. He gathers no extra information after 30 minutes of walking, while we circle overhead.<br />
<br />
Eventually, we crash/land, as Dart has probably told him everything anyway.<br />
<br />
Coming to a more rural town than Clun with no inn... we sit for a picnic with Alan, and Mavric very eloquently questions him, gleaming that his guild had been sent a request to perform at the manor on that day, and to do the full saga. Normally, he will only perform the shorter 1-hour version at the Harp of Clun. <br />
<br />
Dart: No love potions! We've all heard the cautionary tales about love potions... I'm the result of a cautionary tale! <br />
<Mavric and Zardoz make eye contact and very carefully practice their ''Simulate Emotions''>.<br />
Alan let us know he enjoys visiting a "friend" who lives just outside the village, and we suspect he may have a sheep in every barn..<br />
<br />
After staring at him, Quentin learns that the last magic to affect him was magical healing, his greatest magic in effect is a lesser enchantment and he has no college. Potentially done by a caster to hide their influence on him.<br />
<br />
We stop bothering him and fly to Alcazar to investigate some more. <br><br />
<br />
Z: I did offer to render him unconscious for a divination but the party is a goody-eight-shoes.<br />
<br />
Zardoz seeks the Royal College of Heralds and sends a message to the Chapter House for Father Peter, the Ureilite, to let us know he will be staying with the Heralds. <br><br />
<br />
Z: It was terrible. There were a mere six courses at dinner, the tawny port was only 10 years old, and the feather bed was too soft.<br />
<br />
The Herald's information was a bit interesting. It appears that about 150 years back the Fitzwarren lands were briefly escheated but later the act was undone, not just reversed but more made to have never happened. <Weird> Nothing useful here on Herder's land as there was no grant of arms, nor anything on the Vavasour family; those records would be up in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Peter, Gnash, and I check in at said Western Church Chapter House. We look into contacting the Ureilite bishop, and the party is accommodated in lodgings there. Our appointment is this evening. <br><br />
Dart and Quentin visit the Troubadour's guild, finding the messenger's office, who mistakes Dart for a lord due to his haughty demeanour. He manages to arrange a morning tea with the guild masters tomorrow at 10. <br><br />
Mavric went to watch a play. <br><br />
<br />
We still have some questions that need to be answered, and hope that Alcazar will be able to help:<br><br />
*Why the delay in the judgment?<br />
*Who planned the whole situation/Who stands to gain?<br />
*Where could a love philtre be bought in Alcazar? - Closest place to Clun to get one<br />

<br />
<br />
=== Session 4 - The Proposition ===<br />
<br />
Peter brings Gnash to his meeting with the "aged by the world" bishop, who denies Peter's request to investigate.<br />
<br />
Mavric learned that any visiting troubadours must pay big money to the guild, and the guild is creatively stifled - less risqué and more sanctioned.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Frysday 4th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We all (-Zardoz) head to tea in the morning at the Troubadours guild, with Quentin staying at the entryway to guard our weapons, then meet an elegant, old lady, Tamsin Whisperwind, who is the master that owns the guild. Despite Dart's poor manners, she was convinced by Mavric to disclose that one of her associates from the Weaver's guild had made the request for Talespinner to perform. <br><br />
<br />
With that information, we think potentially the Weaver's guild may not be too keen on the special sheep the Herders are nurturing. <br><br />
<br />
We have religious discussions over lunch while Zardoz seeks more information with the <s>Heralds</s> ''Hobbits''. <br />
<br><br />
Z: ''Dwarves'' <sigh> The information on Thropshire came from reliable local sources who are also tea and cake suppliers.<br />
<br />
He finds that Count of Thropshire (Gilbear Declaire) has certain wants - Men, Women, gambling, drinking, gluttony and some gladiatorial fights that are run to please both him and Countess [[Sanctuary_Nobles#Chenaya|Chenaya]]. <br><br />
<br />
Dart and Zardoz talk up the new fighter from Erewhon behind the "talent scout", and Gnash displays his talents in a decisive victory. <br><br />
<br />
We are escorted to the Count's estate, and... a werebear, an orc, and a playwright walk into a manor. A proposition is made, and Mavric discloses that we need a writ allowing us to investigate in Clun. <br><br />
<br />
After some negotiation, the Count agrees that if Gnash can win an elite-level fight, we will get what we want. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 5 - Writs, Wool and Weesearch === <br />
<br />
'''Reapsday 5th of Fruit'''<br><br />
<br />
Gnash was... in the fight, and while they traded blows, he came out unconscious.<br />
<br />
Quentin and I tend to him, while Zardoz works on a letter to send the count and let him know how to come find us. Dart then drops it off at his door while he's still out schmoozing.<br />
<br />
We discuss a potential last resort for breaking out Jordie.<br />
<br />
Zardoz finds that outsourced materials are frowned upon and are being bought elsewhere. So we need to think about where it's being bought.<br />
<br />
Dart, Mavric and I go to make a new proposition.<br />
"Two dwarves and a halfling seek a count, while an orc is out for one."<br />
<br />
The count offers that Mavric could have an adventure with him for the writ, or that we could free his cousin's land, which is south, from church knights, and he could give us a writ and extra payment as well as a further bounty for reclaimed lands that we might liberate afterwards.<br />
<br />
Gnash goes to get a drink with the man who beat him senseless, and Quentin supervises.<br />
<br />
Zardoz's research gleans that 150 years ago, when Fitzwarren was reinstated, Jordon Herder was granted permission by the elves to have the land and breed merino for service to the crown. And, if his bloodline ends, the land would go to Fitzwarren, but not the sheep.<br />
<br />
Zardoz drafts an official guild contract for the work we would be doing, which we would need to honour, with Peter and Mavric making two copies, so that we have one, he has one and the guild has one. <br><br />
<br />
'''Sunday 6th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
Zardoz confirms with the heralds (or Hobbits, at this point, who knows where he wanders off to) that the count's cousin did have a walled section on the coast to the south, with a harbour and a dock, and after it was liberated from the dark circle, Lady Grace was appointed as a church/Mordeaux version of a count. When the dark circle came in, the nobles left, and the church knights eliminated the undead, they were told they could govern their lands under the rule of the church and Lady Grace. The issue the church knights and Lady Grace have is that they are not great landlords aside from keeping roads safe.<br />
<br />
We all agree, sign the contract and are handed the writ as below:<br />
"To Sir Fitzwarren, the boy found en flagrante with your daughter is pardoned" -Count Gilbear Declaire<br />
<br />
Our main questions when we go back to Clun are:<br />
Where is Herder selling his wool?<br />
Is he underselling it?<br />
Can we question Mabel on her perspective?<br />

=== Session 1 - The Path Not Taken (Correctly) ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
Gnash: So, who is your wife?<br />
Quentin: Lady Chakra, she is away fighting in the drow lands.<br />
Zardoz: On which side?<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered us her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Z: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 - The Scandal at Fitzwarren Manor ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mabel, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mabel personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Maude le Vavasour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who unconvincingly tells Zardoz it was all his fault, while his aura reveals he was last affected by a love philtre.<br />
<br />
Mavric (quoting) "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"<br />
Peter: Hey?!<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 3 - The Talespinner Affair ===<br />
<br />
'''Th'rsday 3rd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We head east, flying in the morning, with Mavric taking Peter on her carpet. <br />
<br />
Mavric, Dart and Peter touch down in a smaller village than Clun to get an update and make sure we are going the right way. He left early this morning, so we aren't far behind.<br />
<br />
Finding him below, Dart glides down in front of him to ask about his saga in Clun. He gathers no extra information after 30 minutes of walking, while we circle overhead.<br />
<br />
Eventually, we crash/land, as Dart has probably told him everything anyway.<br />
<br />
Coming to a more rural town than Clun with no inn... we sit for a picnic with Alan, and Mavric very eloquently questions him, gleaming that his guild had been sent a request to perform at the manor on that day, and to do the full saga. Normally, he will only perform the shorter 1-hour version at the Harp of Clun. <br />
<br />
Dart: No love potions! We've all heard the cautionary tales about love potions... I'm the result of a cautionary tale! <br />
<Mavric and Zardoz make eye contact and very carefully practice their ''Simulate Emotions''>.<br />
Alan let us know he enjoys visiting a "friend" who lives just outside the village, and we suspect he may have a sheep in every barn..<br />
<br />
After staring at him, Quentin learns that the last magic to affect him was magical healing, his greatest magic in effect is a lesser enchantment and he has no college. Potentially done by a caster to hide their influence on him.<br />
<br />
We stop bothering him and fly to Alcazar to investigate some more. <br><br />
<br />
Z: I did offer to render him unconscious for a divination but the party is a goody-eight-shoes.<br />
<br />
Zardoz seeks the Royal College of Heralds and sends a message to the Chapter House for Father Peter, the Ureilite, to let us know he will be staying with the Heralds. <br><br />
<br />
Z: It was terrible. There were a mere six courses at dinner, the tawny port was only 10 years old, and the feather bed was too soft.<br />
<br />
The Herald's information was a bit interesting. It appears that about 150 years back the Fitzwarren lands were briefly escheated but later the act was undone, not just reversed but more made to have never happened. <Weird> Nothing useful here on Herder's land as there was no grant of arms, nor anything on the Vavasour family; those records would be up in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Peter, Gnash, and I check in at said Western Church Chapter House. We look into contacting the Ureilite bishop, and the party is accommodated in lodgings there. Our appointment is this evening. <br><br />
Dart and Quentin visit the Troubadour's guild, finding the messenger's office, who mistakes Dart for a lord due to his haughty demeanour. He manages to arrange a morning tea with the guild masters tomorrow at 10. <br><br />
Mavric went to watch a play. <br><br />
<br />
We still have some questions that need to be answered, and hope that Alcazar will be able to help:<br><br />
*Why the delay in the judgment?<br />
*Who planned the whole situation/Who stands to gain?<br />
*Where could a love philtre be bought in Alcazar? - Closest place to Clun to get one<br />
*Who would the Herder's land go to if Jordie were killed?<br />
** How did he get it in the first place?<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 4 - The Proposition ===<br />
<br />
Peter brings Gnash to his meeting with the "aged by the world" bishop, who denies Peter's request to investigate.<br />
<br />
Mavric learned that any visiting troubadours must pay big money to the guild, and the guild is creatively stifled - less risqué and more sanctioned.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Frysday 4th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We all (-Zardoz) head to tea in the morning at the Troubadours guild, with Quentin staying at the entryway to guard our weapons, then meet an elegant, old lady, Tamsin Whisperwind, who is the master that owns the guild. Despite Dart's poor manners, she was convinced by Mavric to disclose that one of her associates from the Weaver's guild had made the request for Talespinner to perform. <br><br />
<br />
With that information, we think potentially the Weaver's guild may not be too keen on the special sheep the Herders are nurturing. <br><br />
<br />
We have religious discussions over lunch while Zardoz seeks more information with the <s>Heralds</s> ''Hobbits''. <br />
<br><br />
Z: ''Dwarves'' <sigh> The information on Thropshire came from reliable local sources who are also tea and cake suppliers.<br />
<br />
He finds that Count of Thropshire (Gilbear Declaire) has certain wants - Men, Women, gambling, drinking, gluttony and some gladiatorial fights that are run to please both him and Countess [[Sanctuary_Nobles#Chenaya|Chenaya]]. <br><br />
<br />
Dart and Zardoz talk up the new fighter from Erewhon behind the "talent scout", and Gnash displays his talents in a decisive victory. <br><br />
<br />
We are escorted to the Count's estate, and... a werebear, an orc, and a playwright walk into a manor. A proposition is made, and Mavric discloses that we need a writ allowing us to investigate in Clun. <br><br />
<br />
After some negotiation, the Count agrees that if Gnash can win an elite-level fight, we will get what we want. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 5 - Writs, Wool and Weesearch === <br />
<br />
'''Reapsday 5th of Fruit'''<br><br />
<br />
Gnash was... in the fight, and while they traded blows, he came out unconscious.<br />
<br />
Quentin and I tend to him, while Zardoz works on a letter to send the count and let him know how to come find us. Dart then drops it off at his door while he's still out schmoozing.<br />
<br />
We discuss a potential last resort for breaking out Jordie.<br />
<br />
Zardoz finds that outsourced materials are frowned upon and are being bought elsewhere. So we need to think about where it's being bought.<br />
<br />
Dart, Mavric and I go to make a new proposition.<br />
"Two dwarves and a halfling seek a count, while an orc is out for one."<br />
<br />
The count offers that Mavric could have an adventure with him for the writ, or that we could free his cousin's land, which is south, from church knights, and he could give us a writ and extra payment as well as a further bounty for reclaimed lands that we might liberate afterwards.<br />
<br />
Gnash goes to get a drink with the man who beat him senseless, and Quentin supervises.<br />
<br />
Zardoz's research gleans that 150 years ago, when Fitzwarren was reinstated, Jordon Herder was granted permission by the elves to have the land and breed merino for service to the crown. And, if his bloodline ends, the land would go to Fitzwarren, but not the sheep.<br />
<br />
Zardoz drafts an official guild contract for the work we would be doing, which we would need to honour, with Peter and Mavric making two copies, so that we have one, he has one and the guild has one. <br><br />
<br />
'''Sunday 6th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
Zardoz confirms with the heralds (or Hobbits; at this point, who knows where he wanders off to) that the count's cousin did have a walled section on the coast to the south, with a harbour and a dock, and after it was liberated from the dark circle, Lady Grace was appointed as a church/Mordeaux version of a count. When the dark circle came in, the nobles left, and the church knights eliminated the undead, they were told they could govern their lands under the rule of the church and Lady Grace. The issue the church knights and Lady Grace have is that they are not great landlords aside from keeping roads safe.<br />
<br />
We all agree, sign the contract and are handed the writ as below:<br />
"To Sir Fitzwarren, the boy found en flagrante with your daughter is pardoned" -Count Gilbear Declaire<br />
<br />
Our main questions when we go back to Clun are:<br />
Where is Herder selling his wool?<br />
Is he underselling it?<br />
Can we question Mabel on her perspective?<br />

<br />
== Scribe Notes ==<br />
<br />
=== Session 1 - The Path Not Taken (Correctly) ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
Gnash: So, who is your wife?<br />
Quentin: Lady Chakra, she is away fighting in the drow lands.<br />
Zardoz: On which side?<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered us her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Z: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 - The Scandal at Fitzwarren Manor ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mabel, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mabel personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Maude le Vavasour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who unconvincingly tells Zardoz it was all his fault, while his aura reveals he was last affected by a love philtre.<br />
<br />
Mavric (quoting) "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"<br />
Peter: Hey?!<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 3 - The Talespinner Affair ===<br />
<br />
'''Th'rsday 3rd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We head east, flying in the morning, with Mavric taking Peter on her carpet. <br />
<br />
Mavric, Dart and Peter touch down in a smaller village than Clun to get an update and make sure we are going the right way. He left early this morning, so we aren't far behind.<br />
<br />
Finding him below, Dart glides down in front of him to ask about his saga in Clun. He gathers no extra information after 30 minutes of walking, while we circle overhead.<br />
<br />
Eventually, we crash/land, as Dart has probably told him everything anyway.<br />
<br />
Coming to a more rural town than Clun with no inn... we sit for a picnic with Alan, and Mavric very eloquently questions him, gleaming that his guild had been sent a request to perform at the manor on that day, and to do the full saga. Normally, he will only perform the shorter 1-hour version at the Harp of Clun. <br />
<br />
Dart: No love potions! We've all heard the cautionary tales about love potions... I'm the result of a cautionary tale! <br />
<Mavric and Zardoz make eye contact and very carefully practice their ''Simulate Emotions''>.<br />
Alan let us know he enjoys visiting a "friend" who lives just outside the village, and we suspect he may have a sheep in every barn..<br />
<br />
After staring at him, Quentin learns that the last magic to affect him was magical healing, his greatest magic in effect is a lesser enchantment and he has no college. Potentially done by a caster to hide their influence on him.<br />
<br />
We stop bothering him and fly to Alcazar to investigate some more. <br><br />
<br />
Z: I did offer to render him unconscious for a divination but the party is a goody-eight-shoes.<br />
<br />
Zardoz seeks the Royal College of Heralds and sends a message to the Chapter House for Father Peter, the Ureilite, to let us know he will be staying with the Heralds. <br><br />
<br />
Z: It was terrible. There were a mere six courses at dinner, the tawny port was only 10 years old, and the feather bed was too soft.<br />
<br />
The Herald's information was a bit interesting. It appears that about 150 years back the Fitzwarren lands were briefly escheated but later the act was undone, not just reversed but more made to have never happened. <Weird> Nothing useful here on Herder's land as there was no grant of arms, nor anything on the Vavasour family; those records would be up in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Peter, Gnash, and I check in at said Western Church Chapter House. We look into contacting the Ureilite bishop, and the party is accommodated in lodgings there. Our appointment is this evening. <br><br />
Dart and Quentin visit the Troubadour's guild, finding the messenger's office, who mistakes Dart for a lord due to his haughty demeanour. He manages to arrange a morning tea with the guild masters tomorrow at 10. <br><br />
Mavric went to watch a play. <br><br />
<br />
We still have some questions that need to be answered, and hope that Alcazar will be able to help:<br><br />
*Why the delay in the judgment?<br />
*Who planned the whole situation/Who stands to gain?<br />
*Where could a love philtre be bought in Alcazar? - Closest place to Clun to get one<br />
*Who would the Herder's land go to if Jordie were killed?<br />
** How did he get it in the first place?<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Session 4 - The Proposition ===<br />
<br />
Peter brings Gnash to his meeting with the "aged by the world" bishop, who denies Peter's request to investigate.<br />
<br />
Mavric learned that any visiting troubadours must pay big money to the guild, and the guild is creatively stifled - less risqué and more sanctioned.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Frysday 4th of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We all (-Zardoz) head to tea in the morning at the Troubadours guild, with Quentin staying at the entryway to guard our weapons, then meet an elegant, old lady, Tamsin Whisperwind, who is the master that owns the guild. Despite Dart's poor manners, she was convinced by Mavric to disclose that one of her associates from the Weaver's guild had made the request for Talespinner to perform. <br><br />
<br />
With that information, we think potentially the Weaver's guild may not be too keen on the special sheep the Herders are nurturing. <br><br />
<br />
We have religious discussions over lunch while Zardoz seeks more information with the Heralds. <br><br />
<br />
He finds that Count of Thropshire (Gilbear Declaire) has certain wants - Men, Women, gambling, drinking, gluttony and some gladiatorial fights that are run to please both him and Countess [[Sanctuary_Nobles#Chenaya|Chenaya]]. <br><br />
<br />
Dart and Zardoz talk up the new fighter from Erewhon behind the "talent scout", and Gnash displays his talents in a decisive victory. <br><br />
<br />
We are escorted to the Count's estate, and... a werebear, an orc, and a playwright walk into a manor. A proposition is made, and Mavric discloses that we need a writ allowing us to investigate in Clun. <br><br />
<br />
After some negotiation, the Count agrees that if Gnash can win an elite-level fight, we will get what we want. <br><br />

<br />
== Scribe Notes ==<br />
<br />
=== Session 1 ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
Gnash: So, who is your wife?<br />
Quentin: Lady Chakra, she is away fighting in the drow lands.<br />
Zardoz: On which side?<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered myself and Mavric her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Z: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mabel, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mabel personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Maude le Vavasour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who unconvincingly tells Zardoz it was all his fault, while his aura reveals he was last affected by a love philtre.<br />
<br />
Mavric (quoting) "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"<br />
Peter: Hey?!<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />
<br />
=== Session 3 - The Talespinner Affair ===<br />
<br />
'''Th'rsday 3rd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We head east, flying in the morning, with Mavric taking Peter on her carpet. <br />
<br />
Mavric, Dart and Peter touch down in a smaller village than Clun to get an update and make sure we are going the right way. He left early this morning, so we aren't far behind.<br />
<br />
Finding him below, Dart glides down in front of him to ask about his saga in Clun. He gathers no extra information after 30 minutes of walking, while we circle overhead.<br />
<br />
Eventually, we crash/land, as Dart has probably told him everything anyway.<br />
<br />
Coming to a more rural town than Clun with no inn... we sit for a picnic with Alan, and Mavric very eloquently questions him, gleaming that his guild had been sent a request to perform at the manor on that day, and to do the full saga. Normally, he will only perform the shorter 1-hour version at the Harp of Clun. <br />
<br />
Dart: No love potions! We've all heard the cautionary tales about love potions... I'm the result of a cautionary tale! <br />
<Mavric and Zardoz make eye contact and very carefully practice their ''Simulate Emotions''>.<br />
Alan let us know he enjoys visiting a "friend" who lives just outside the village, and we suspect he may have a sheep in every barn..<br />
<br />
After staring at him, Quentin learns that the last magic to affect him was magical healing, his greatest magic in effect is a lesser enchantment and he has no college. Potentially done by a caster to hide their influence on him.<br />
<br />
We stop bothering him and fly to Alcazar to investigate some more. <br><br />
<br />
Z: I did offer to render him unconscious for a divination but the party is a goody-eight-shoes.<br />
<br />
Zardoz seeks the Royal College of Heralds and sends a message to the Chapter House for Father Peter, the Ureilite, to let us know he will be staying with the Heralds. <br><br />
<br />
Z: It was terrible. There were a mere six courses at dinner, the tawny port was only 10 years old, and the feather bed was too soft.<br />
<br />
The Herald's information was a bit interesting. It appears that about 150 years back the Fitzwarren lands were briefly escheated but later the act was undone, not just reversed but more made to have never happened. <Weird> Nothing useful here on Herder's land as there was no grant of arms, nor anything on the Vavasour family; those records would be up in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Peter, Gnash, and I check in at said Western Church Chapter House. We look into contacting the Ureilite bishop, and the party is accommodated in lodgings there. Our appointment is this evening. <br><br />
Dart and Quentin visit the Troubadour's guild, finding the messenger's office, who mistakes Dart for a lord due to his haughty demeanour. He manages to arrange a morning tea with the guild masters tomorrow at 10. <br><br />
Mavric went to watch a play. <br><br />
<br />
We still have some questions that need to be answered, and hope that Alcazar will be able to help:<br><br />
*Why the delay in the judgment?<br />
*Who planned the whole situation/Who stands to gain?<br />
*Where could a love philtre be bought in Alcazar? - Closest place to Clun to get one<br />
*Who would the Herder's land go to if Jordie were killed?<br />
** How did he get it in the first place?<br />

<br />
== Scribe Notes ==<br />
<br />
=== Session 1 ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
Gnash: So, who is your wife?<br />
Quentin: Lady Chakra, she is away fighting in the drow lands.<br />
Zardoz: On which side?<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered myself and Mavric her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Z: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mabel, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mabel personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Maude le Vavasour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who unconvincingly tells Zardoz it was all his fault, while his aura reveals he was last affected by a love philtre.<br />
<br />
Mavric (quoting) "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"<br />
Peter: Hey?!<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />
<br />
=== Session 3 ===<br />
<br />
'''Th'rsday 3rd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We head east, flying in the morning, with Mavric taking Peter on her carpet. <br />
<br />
Mavric, Dart and Peter touch down in a smaller village than Clun to get an update and make sure we are going the right way. He left early this morning, so we aren't far behind.<br />
<br />
Finding him below, Dart glides down in front of him to ask about his saga in Clun. He gathers no extra information after 30 minutes of walking, while we circle overhead.<br />
<br />
Eventually, we crash/land, as Dart has probably told him everything anyway.<br />
<br />
Coming to a more rural town than Clun with no inn... we sit for a picnic with Alan, and Mavric very eloquently questions him, gleaming that his guild had been sent a request to perform at the manor on that day, and to do the full saga. Normally, he will only perform the shorter 1-hour version at the Harp of Clun. <br />
<br />
Dart: No love potions! We've all heard the cautionary tales about love potions... I'm the result of a cautionary tale! <br />
<Mavric and Zardoz make eye contact and very carefully practice their ''Simulate Emotions''>.<br />
Alan let us know he enjoys visiting a "friend" who lives just outside the village, and we suspect he may have a sheep in every barn..<br />
<br />
After staring at him, Quentin learns that the last magic to affect him was magical healing, his greatest magic in effect is a lesser enchantment and he has no college. Potentially done by a caster to hide their influence on him.<br />
<br />
We stop bothering him and fly to Alcazar to investigate some more. <br><br />
<br />
Z: I did offer to render him unconscious for a divination but the party is a goody-eight-shoes.<br />
<br />
Zardoz seeks the Royal College of Heralds and sends a message to the Chapter House for Father Peter, the Ureilite, to let us know he will be staying with the Heralds. <br><br />
<br />
Z: It was terrible. There were a mere six courses at dinner, the tawny port was only 10 years old, and the feather bed was too soft.<br />
<br />
The Herald's information was a bit interesting. It appears that about 150 years back the Fitzwarren lands were briefly escheated but later the act was undone, not just reversed but more made to have never happened. <Weird> Nothing useful here on Herder's land as there was no grant of arms, nor anything on the Vavasour family; those records would be up in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Peter, Gnash, and I check in at said Western Church Chapter House. We look into contacting the Ureilite bishop, and the party is accommodated in lodgings there. Our appointment is this evening. <br><br />
Dart and Quentin visit the Troubadour's guild, finding the messenger's office, who mistakes Dart for a lord due to his haughty demeanour. He manages to arrange a morning tea with the guild masters tomorrow at 10. <br><br />
Mavric went to watch a play. <br><br />
<br />
We still have some questions that need to be answered, and hope that Alcazar will be able to help:<br><br />
*Why the delay in the judgment?<br />
*Who planned the whole situation/Who stands to gain?<br />
*Where could a love philtre be bought in Alcazar? - Closest place to Clun to get one<br />
*Who would the Herder's land go to if Jordie were killed?<br />
** How did he get it in the first place?<br />

<br />
== Scribe Notes ==<br />
<br />
=== Session 1 ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
Gnash: So, who is your wife?<br />
Quentin: Lady Shakra, she is away fighting in the drow lands.<br />
Zardoz: On which side?<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered myself and Mavric her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Zardoz: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mabel, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mabel personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Maude le Vavasour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who unconvincingly tells Zardoz it was all his fault, while his aura reveals he was last affected by a love philtre.<br />
<br />
Lyric (quoting) "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"<br />
Peter: Hey?!<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />
<br />
=== Session 3 ===<br />
<br />
'''Th'rsday 3rd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We head east, flying in the morning, with Mavric taking Peter on her carpet. <br />
<br />
Mavric, Dart and Peter touch down in a smaller village than Clun to get an update and make sure we are going the right way. He left early this morning, so we aren't far behind.<br />
<br />
Finding him below, Dart glides down in front of him to ask about his saga in Clun. He gathers no extra information after 30 minutes of walking, while we circle overhead.<br />
<br />
Eventually, we crash/land, as Dart has probably told him everything anyway.<br />
<br />
Coming to a more rural town than Clun with no inn... we sit for a picnic with Alan, and Mavric very eloquently questions him, gleaming that his guild had been sent a request to perform at the manor on that day, and to do the full saga. Normally, he will only perform the shorter 1-hour version at the Harp of Clun. <br />
<br />
Alan let us know he enjoys visiting a "friend" who lives just outside the village, and we suspect he may have a sheep in every barn..<br />
<br />
After staring at him, Quentin learns that the last magic to affect him was magical healing, his greatest magic in effect is a lesser enchantment and he has no college. Potentially done by a caster to hide their influence on him.<br />
<br />
We stop bothering him and fly to Alcazar to investigate some more. <br><br />
Zardoz seeks the Royal College of Heralds and sends a message to the Chapter House for Father Peter, the Ureilite, to let us know he will be staying with the Heralds. <br><br />
Meanwhile, Peter, Gnash, and I check in at said Western Church Chapter House. We look into contacting the Ureilite bishop, and the party is accommodated in lodgings there. Our appointment is this evening. <br><br />
Dart and Quentin visit the Troubadour's guild, finding the messenger's office, who mistakes Dart for a lord due to his haughty demeanour. He manages to arrange a morning tea with the guild masters tomorrow at 10. <br><br />
Mavric went to watch a play. <br><br />
<br />
We still have some questions that need to be answered, and hope that Alcazar will be able to help:<br><br />
- Why the delay in the judgment? <br><br />
- Who planned the whole situation/Who stands to gain? <br><br />
- Where could a love philtre be bought in Alcazar? - Closest place to Clun to get one <br><br />
- Who would the Herder's land go to if Jordie were killed? <br><br />

<br />
== Scribe Notes ==<br />
<br />
=== Session 1 ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
Gnash: So, who is your wife?<br />
Quentin: Lady Shakra, she is away fighting in the drow lands.<br />
Zardoz: On which side?<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered myself and Mavric her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Zardoz: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mabel, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mabel personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Maude le Vavasour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who unconvincingly tells Zardoz it was all his fault, while his aura reveals he was last affected by a love philtre.<br />
<br />
Lyric (quoting) "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"<br />
Peter: Hey?!<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />

<br />
== Scribe Notes ==<br />
<br />
=== Session 1 ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
Gnash: So, who is your wife?<br />
Quentin: Lady Shakra, she is away fighting in the drow lands.<br />
Zardoz: On which side?<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered myself and Mavric her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Zardoz: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mable, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mable personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Maude le Vavasour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who unconvincingly tells Zardoz it was all his fault, while his aura reveals he was last affected by a love philtre.<br />
<br />
Lyric (quoting) "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"<br />
Peter: Hey?!<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />

<br />
== Scribe Notes ==<br />
<br />
=== Session 1 ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
Gnash: So, who is your wife?<br />
Quentin: Lady Shakra, she is away fighting in the drow lands.<br />
Zardoz: On which side?<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered myself and Mavric her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Zardoz: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mable, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mable personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Mord Vavasour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who unconvincingly tells Zardoz it was all his fault, while his aura reveals he was last affected by a love philtre.<br />
<br />
Lyric (quoting) "Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?"<br />
Peter: Hey?!<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />

<br />
== Scribe Notes ==<br />
<br />
=== Session 1 ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered myself and Mavric her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Zardoz: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mable, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mable personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Mord Lavavisour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Bowcourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who tells him he was last affected by a love filter and, unconvincingly, tells Zardoz it was all his fault.<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />

<br />
== Scribe Notes ==<br />
<br />
=== Session 1 ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered myself and Mavric her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Zardoz: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun.<br />
<br />
=== Session 2 ===<br />
As we approach the village from the Southern Bridge, Zardoz changes his form into Grimshore, our human servant, to blend in.<br />
<br />
We stop in for first lunch at the Harp of Clun - Clun inn - there seems to be a rise of inns labelled Harp of... in Ranke.<br />
<br />
We learn that to reach Merino Station, we must head west up the road for 2 miles. Then at the fork, turn left up to the valley.<br />
<br />
Coming into the farm, we are met with some odd/rare sheep, and Jordon.<br />
<br />
Jordon recites the story for us, and we find that his son (a peasant) was allegedly found in the Lord's stables with Miss Mable, the lord's daughter. The whole town saw as the barn doors flew open during a show hosted by Talespinner at Lord Fitzwarren's Manor.<br />
<br />
Peter lends me his holy sword so that I can look like a Michaeline while Zardoz changes his clothes to be more Raphaelite, and Mavric is our scribe. We aim to use this guise to question Miss Mable personally.<br />
<br />
We enter through the front doors and speak to Lord Fitzwarren, who claims our services are not needed. We leave, but Dart seems to remember something about the Lord that he can't recall. Mavric promptly hypnotizes Dart to extract the information, which gives Dart the memory of some story about an archer who helped take down an enemy baron/count, while Gnash senses 1 lesser undead to our North.<br />
<br />
Gnash, Quentin and I go back to the manor to divinate the stable doors. Gnash laid a minion to divinate the doors from the inside of the stable, who discovered that there was a stored telekinesis, casted by a Mind Mage. Lady Mord Lavavisour - Lady of the Manor, comes and asks us to leave just as Quentin discovers Telekinesis was the last magic to impact the stable doors. He also discovered the Lady to be actively resisting his magic and a short-lived sentient from Beaucourt. She is likely a Mind Mage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the rest of the party goes to question Jordie. A warden at the barracks doesn't let them in, so Zardoz sneaks around to DA and speaks with Jordie, who tells him he was last affected by a love filter and, unconvincingly, tells Zardoz it was all his fault.<br />
<br />
We finish the day off in the Harp of Clun, overpaying for dinner, when two men come in requesting my aid (thinking I was a Urielite) in deciding who the owner of the chicken is. I redirected to Peter.<br />
<br />
The story is: a man whose rooster gave another man's hen a golden egg, and they wish for us to decide who gets ownership of it. Currently, Lord Fitzwarren is holding it until they decide who is given ownership. As they don't like our form of justice, Peter tells them to come back when they do.<br />
<br />
In the morning, we will eat and track down the Troubadour Alan Talespinner to question on the event of the night.<br />

<br />
== Scribe Notes ==<br />
<br />
=== Session 1 ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
A suspicion is voiced that the "Adventuring Patron" may well be a certain ''Prince'' who is ofttimes ''Willing''. <br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered myself and Mavric her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
Zardoz: He did however appreciate obsequious forelock-tugging. ''Prat''.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun<br />

<div>[[File:Tharlin.png|defaultpx|thumb|right|alt=Tharlin|Tharlin]]<br />
<br />
Tharlin is a Dwarven Air Mage played by [[user:Conal|Conal]]. His first adventure was Blood, Sweat and Beers in the Autumn of 818wk. As a young Dwarf, growing up in the Superstition Mountains, he never really felt that he belonged; that he was different from everybody else. Getting older, he realized he loved being outside far more than underground. Being up in the mountains, he felt so free, and it was the first place ever for him that just felt right. All he wanted to do was get to the sky, touch the clouds, untethered to the cage that was the underground. His traditional family wasn't as keen for him to go wandering off chasing the clouds, so he aimed to fit in and be more of a "real" dwarf by fighting, smithing, drinking, and brewing, but ultimately, they fell through (well, maybe not the fighting). <br />
<br />
Tharlin had heard about the Guild of adventurers and the magics they could display, so he sought it out, hoping to one day touch the clouds. Through the guild, he discovered [[Bromli]] and [[Cronose]]'s Brewery and began working there for money and a place to live. While it didn't happen straight away, Tharlin became an Air Mage and set out on an adventure, hoping to earn the experience and money to learn to fly. Then finally, after his second adventure, [[Novadom Road North]] he learned to fly, free to reach the sky. He now continues to work at the guild and [[Bromli]] and [[Cronose]]'s Brewery, developing his college and skills so he can be the best Air Mage he can, as it's the only thing that makes him feel free. And the more he learns, the less tethered he is to the world below, preferring things like sleeping on a cloud rather than his bed at the brewery. Now he fights to balance his more youthful, impulsive, "stormy" side with a more measured and calm approach.<br />

==Un-bear-able==<br />
Over the years, Tharlin has become increasingly associated with bears. It all started on his first adventure in Autumn 818wk: Blood, Sweat and Beers. Tharlin and his party, made up of Hayden, [[Haedric]], [[Cob]], and [[Sprockett]], wandered upon the old forest spirit Ursok the bear in a very sacred grove. Ursok was a very magical bear who seemed to have an almost instant connection to Tharlin. Ursok later passed on, along with his sacred grove, leaving a staff for Tharlin to keep and remember him by. This staff was a part of the big tree in the centre of Ursok's grove. It gives Tharlin and only Tharlin the strength and endurance of a mighty bear while the staff is in his hand/s. In a more recent adventure, Covert Fox (Autumn 822wk), part of the reward was a dose of Refined Chaos. When Tharlin took a dose of this mixed with a special blend of essences, it turned him into a shapeshifter bear. He could then choose to change into a bear or werebear at any time.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Description'''<br />
Tharlin is a 4'9" 127lbs Dwarven male, a long brown beard braided at the ends that reaches just below his pecs, brown eyes with flecks of gold in them, bushy brown hair that goes down to his shoulders and vaguely scaly-looking flesh. He has average looks (PB 14 naturally) and a shiny amulet around his neck (Greater Amulet of Nabas +2 PB).<br />

<br />
=== Session 1 ===<br />
'''Duesday 1st of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.<br />
<br />
The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.<br />
<br />
After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.<br />
<br />
Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.<br />
<br />
To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.<br />
<br />
Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: ''"My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron''. <br />
According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.<br />
<br />
Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered myself and Mavric her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.<br />
<br />
After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.<br />
<br />
This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.<br />
<br />
We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.<br />
<br />
'''W'ansday 2nd of Fruit'''<br />
<br />
In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun<br />

<br />
Tharlin is a Dwarven Air Mage played by [[user:Conal|Conal]]. His first adventure was Blood, Sweat and Beers in the Autumn of 818wk. As a young Dwarf, growing up in the Superstition Mountains, he never really felt that he belonged; that he was different from everybody else. Getting older, he realized he loved being outside far more than underground. Being up in the mountains, he felt so free, and it was the first place ever for him that just felt right. All he wanted to do was get to the sky, touch the clouds, untethered to the cage that was the underground. His traditional family wasn't as keen for him to go wandering off chasing the clouds, so he aimed to fit in and be more of a "real" dwarf by fighting, smithing, drinking, and brewing, but ultimately, they fell through (well, maybe not the fighting). <br />
<br />
Tharlin had heard about the Guild of adventurers and the magics they could display, so he sought it out, hoping to one day touch the clouds. Through the guild, he discovered [[Bromli]] and [[Cronose]]'s Brewery and began working there for money and a place to live. While it didn't happen straight away, Tharlin became an Air Mage and set out on an adventure, hoping to earn the experience and money to learn to fly. Then finally, after his second adventure, [[Novadom Road North]] he learned to fly, free to reach the sky. He now continues to work at the guild and [[Bromli]] and [[Cronose]]'s Brewery, developing his college and skills so he can be the best Air Mage he can, as it's the only thing that makes him feel free. And the more he learns, the less tethered he is to the world below, preferring things like sleeping on a cloud rather than his bed at the brewery. Now he fights to balance his more youthful, impulsive, "stormy" side with a more measured and calm approach.<br />

==Un-bear-able==<br />
Over the years, Tharlin has become increasingly associated with bears. It all started on his first adventure in Autumn 818wk: Blood, Sweat and Beers. Tharlin and his party, made up of Hayden, [[Haedric]], [[Cob]], and [[Sprockett]], wandered upon the old forest spirit Ursok the bear in a very sacred grove. Ursok was a very magical bear who seemed to have an almost instant connection to Tharlin. Ursok later passed on, along with his sacred grove, leaving a staff for Tharlin to keep and remember him by. This staff was a part of the big tree in the centre of Ursok's grove. It gives Tharlin and only Tharlin the strength and endurance of a mighty bear while the staff is in his hand/s. In a more recent adventure, Covert Fox (Autumn 822wk), part of the reward was a dose of Refined Chaos. When Tharlin took a dose of this mixed with a special blend of essences, it turned him into a shapeshifter bear. He could then choose to change into a bear or werebear at any time.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Description'''<br />
Tharlin is a 4'9" 127lbs Dwarven male, a long brown beard braided at the ends that reaches just below his pecs, brown eyes with flecks of gold in them, bushy brown hair that goes down to his shoulders and vaguely scaly-looking flesh. He has average looks (PB 14 naturally) and a shiny amulet around his neck (Greater Amulet of Nabas +2 PB).<br />

<br />
Tharlin is a Dwarven Air Mage played by [[user:Conal|Conal]]. His first adventure was Blood, Sweat and Beers in the Autumn of 818wk. As a young Dwarf, growing up in the Superstition Mountains, he never really felt that he belonged; that he was different from everybody else. Getting older, he realized he loved being outside far more than underground. Being up in the mountains, he felt so free, and it was the first place ever for him that just felt right. All he wanted to do was get to the sky, touch the clouds, untethered to the cage that was the underground. His traditional family wasn't as keen for him to go wandering off chasing the clouds, so he aimed to fit in and be more of a "real" dwarf by fighting, smithing, drinking, and brewing, but ultimately, they fell through (well, maybe not the fighting). <br />
<br />
Tharlin had heard about the Guild of adventurers and the magics they could display, so he sought it out, hoping to one day touch the clouds. Through the guild, he discovered [[Bromli]] and [[Cronose]]'s Brewery and began working there for money and a place to live. While it didn't happen straight away, Tharlin became an Air Mage and set out on an adventure, hoping to earn the experience and money to learn to fly. Then finally, after his second adventure, [[Novadom Road North]] he learned to fly, free to reach the sky. He now continues to work at the guild and [[Bromli]] and [[Cronose]]'s Brewery, developing his college and skills so he can be the best Air Mage he can, as it's the only thing that makes him feel free. And the more he learns, the less tethered he is to the world below, preferring things like sleeping on a cloud rather than his bed at the brewery. Now he fights to balance his more youthful, impulsive, "stormy" side with a more measured and calm approach.<br />

==Un-bear-able==<br />
Over the years, Tharlin has become increasingly associated with bears. It all started on his first adventure in Autumn 818wk: Blood, Sweat and Beers. Tharlin and his party, made up of Hayden, [[Haedric]], [[Cob]], and [[Sprockett]], wandered upon the old forest spirit Ursok the bear in a very sacred grove. Ursok was a very magical bear who seemed to have an almost instant connection to Tharlin. Ursok later passed on, along with his sacred grove, leaving a staff for Tharlin to keep and remember him by. This staff was a part of the big tree in the centre of Ursok's grove. It gives Tharlin and only Tharlin the strength and endurance of a mighty bear while the staff is in his hand/s. In a more recent adventure, Covert Fox (Autumn 822wk), part of the reward was a dose of Refined Chaos. When Tharlin took a dose of this mixed with a special blend of essences, it turned him into a shapeshifter bear. He could then choose to change into a bear or werebear at any time.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Description'''<br />
Tharlin is a 4'9" 127lbs Dwarven male, a long brown beard braided at the ends that reaches just below his pecs, brown eyes with flecks of gold in them, bushy brown hair that goes down to his shoulders and vaguely scaly-looking flesh. He has average looks (PB 14 naturally) and a shiny amulet around his neck (Greater Amulet of Nabas +2 PB).<br />

; Employer<br />

: 'significant'<br />
<br />
== Scribe Notes ==<br />
=== Beers, Shows, and Portals ===<br />
<br />
; Duesday 1st <br />
Darcy something, Herald of the Western Kingdom.<br />
Henric clearly has something on the king or the herald as the herald is singing his praises on behalf of the king, and offering us 20,000sp each.<br />
<br />
15 years ago Jurgenmark was overrun by undead until they were driven back a year ago. <br />
It was a dumping ground for crap the Elves didn't want polluting Elfheim, especially under the magical glacier to the north. So lots of magic crap.<br />
The Elves have been guilted into doing some clean-up.<br />
: Note: The Elves purchased the glacier from the WK, they paid a lot! Guilt money or cover-up?<br />
<br />
Basically they want us to go in and poke around to see what we can stir up. If anything is too nasty we blame the Elves and call them in or the church knights who are also hanging around looking for trouble.<br />
<br />
We're given writs of passage across the Western Kingdom and a map of Jurgenmark.<br />
<br />
Henric is in Virehold as his titled home (Hellesmarch) is mostly rubble, we should go see him about where to poke - not just to taunt him that he's stuck there getting gussied up for the wedding.<br />
* Finding Regalia - 160 pieces or varying value and importance for securing the realm (the Elven crap).<br />
* Smiting undead and nasty people that like to hang out with undead.<br />
* Recover regalia from people that might not want to hand it over.<br />
<br />
They have arranged portals to northern Aquila for us, Seagate to Newcourt, next to Konigburg, then to a fortress just south of Jurgenmark.<br />
<br />
Mavric sorts out some Astrology. Henric is going to tell us what to do, it'll be confusing, our job will be dangerous and we'll need to work together; if we do, we'll come out well.<br />
<br />
; W'ansday 2nd Meadow<br />
<br />
At Newcourt we have breakfast then Charles sends us on to [[Konigburg]], the mages guild.<br />
<br />
We wander into town; Duvon, Bodric and Tharlin check out the local temples while the rest of us follow Mavric to the theatre where she watches a matinee of ''The Foul Prince Romero'' while we prop up the bar and sample their food.<br />
<br />
Mid afternoon we portal to the fortress at the south end of Alryn's Gap, the southern pass into Jurgenmark where we settle in for the afternoon and evening.<br />
<br />
; Th'rsday 3rd Meadow<br />
We load up on carpets and fly north, about 4 hours to cover the 150 miles to <br />
About an hour through the pass an illusory waterfall (movement magic) appears in front of us, we fly around it and continue.<br />
<br />
The land is a lot more wet than it used to be, rivers, lakes, marshes.<br />
<br />
We fly on up a river over a lake to the north-western shore at the foot of some mountains arriving at '''Virehold''' around lunchtime.<br />
Lots of guards, church knights, <br />
<br />
Henric is engaged to Sigrin, younger sister of Briana, Thane of Iron Fist who we met [[Gold Fever|last year]].<br />
<br />
If Jurgenmark is not stabilised within the next 10 years (by 835) it will degrade and may break off and be adrift in reality.<br />
<br />
* 17 Major items<br />
* 17 Secondary items<br />
* Civic Items<br />
* Military Items ...<br />
<br />
We could start with an iced up vault beneath this town.<br />
<br />
If we find any sigils, we should check them out and report back.<br />
There are 8 Great Sigils across the realm, one here, one under the glacier, other 6 unknown.<br />
Henric takes us out back to check out the local one.<br />
13' tall pillar with 3 flat faces, GTN: Pillar of Oaths, they improve stability of the area around them. The pillar speaks to us, he is The Oath Warden.<br />
Other sigils could look different.<br />
Previously there were sigils in Hellesmarch, eastern pass, barrows, a tor, ...<br />

<hr />
<div>Tharlin is a Dwarven Air Mage played by [[user:Conal|Conal]]. His first adventure was Blood, Sweat and Beers in the Autumn of 818wk. As a young Dwarf, growing up in the Superstition Mountains, he never really felt that he belonged; that he was different from everybody else. Getting older, he realized he loved being outside far more than underground. Being up in the mountains, he felt so free, and it was the first place ever for him that just felt right. All he wanted to do was get to the sky, touch the clouds, untethered to the cage that was the underground. His traditional family wasn't as keen for him to go wandering off chasing the clouds, so he aimed to fit in and be more of a "real" dwarf by fighting, smithing, drinking, and brewing, but ultimately, they fell through (well, maybe not the fighting). <br />
<br />
Tharlin had heard about the Guild of adventurers and the magics they could display, so he sought it out, hoping to one day touch the clouds. Through the guild, he discovered [[Bromli]] and [[Cronose]]'s Brewery and began working there for money and a place to live. While it didn't happen straight away, Tharlin became an Air Mage and set out on an adventure, hoping to earn the experience and money to learn to fly. Then finally, after his second adventure, [[Novadom Road North]] he learned to fly, free to reach the sky. He now continues to work at the guild and [[Bromli]] and [[Cronose]]'s Brewery, developing his college and skills so he can be the best Air Mage he can, as it's the only thing that makes him feel free. And the more he learns, the less tethered he is to the world below, preferring things like sleeping on a cloud rather than his bed at the brewery. Now he fights to balance his more youthful, impulsive, "stormy" side with a more measured and calm approach.<br />

Over the years, Tharlin has become increasingly associated with bears. It all started on his first adventure in Autumn 818wk: Blood, Sweat and Beers. Tharlin and his party, made up of Hayden, [[Haedric]], [[Cob]], and [[Sprockett]], wandered upon the old forest spirit Ursok the bear in a very sacred grove. Ursok was a very magical bear who seemed to have an almost instant connection to Tharlin. Ursok later passed on, along with his sacred grove, leaving a staff for Tharlin to keep and remember him by. This staff was a part of the big tree in the centre of Ursok's grove. It gives Tharlin and only Tharlin the strength and endurance of a mighty bear while the staff is in his hand/s. In a more recent adventure, Covert Fox (Autumn 822wk), part of the reward was a dose of Refined Chaos. When Tharlin took a dose of this mixed with a special blend of essences, it turned him into a shapeshifter bear. He could then choose to change into a bear or werebear at any time.<br />

'''Description'''<br />
Tharlin is a 4'9" 127lbs Dwarven male, a long brown beard braided at the ends that reaches just below his pecs, brown eyes with flecks of gold in them, bushy brown hair that goes down to his shoulders and vaguely scaly-looking flesh. He has average looks (PB 14 naturally) and a shiny amulet around his neck (Greater Amulet of Nabas +2 PB).</div>Conalhttps://dq-nz.org/dqwiki/index.php?title=Tharlin&diff=104221Tharlin2025-11-13T20:38:50Z<p>Conal: </p>

[[Tharlin]] is a Dwarven Air Mage who is scaly and occasionally a bear.</div>Conalhttps://dq-nz.org/dqwiki/index.php?title=Tharlin&diff=103950Tharlin2025-09-24T05:31:43Z<p>Conal: </p>

<div>Tharlin is a Dwarven Air Mage played by [[user:Conal|Conal]]. His first adventure was Blood, Sweat and Beers in the Autumn of 818wk. As a young Dwarf, growing up, he never really felt that he belonged; that he was different from everybody else. Getting older, he realized he loved being outside far more than underground, being up in the mountains he felt so free and it was the first place ever for him that just felt right. All he wanted to do was get to the sky, touch the clouds, untethered to the ground. This was an uncommon view as most dwarves wouldn't dream of being anywhere but underground. Tharlin had heard about the Guild of adventurers and the magics they could display so he sought it out, hoping to one day touch the clouds. On his way, he discovered [[Bromli]] and [[Cronose]]'s Brewery and began working there for money and a place to live. While it didn't happen straight away, Tharlin became an Air Mage and set out on an adventure hoping to earn the experience and money to learn to fly. Then finally, after his second adventure, [[Novadom Road North]] he learned to fly, free to reach the sky. He now continues to work at the guild and [[Bromli]] and [[Cronose]]'s Brewery developing his college and skills so he can be the best Air Mage he can as it's the only thing that makes him feel free.<br />

==Un-bear-able==<br />
Over the years Tharlin has been associated with bears more and more. It all started on his first adventure in Autumn 818wk: Blood, Sweat and Beers. Tharlin and his party made up of Hayden, [[Haedric]], [[Cob]], and [[Sprockett]] wandered upon the old forest spirit Ursok the bear in a very sacred grove. Ursok was a very magical bear who seemed to have an almost instant connection to Tharlin. Ursok later passed on along with his sacred grove, leaving a staff for Tharlin to keep and remember him by. This staff was a part of the big tree in the centre of Ursok's grove. It gives Tharlin and only Tharlin the strength and endurance of a mighty bear while the staff is in his hand/s. In a more recent adventure, Covert Fox (Autumn 822wk), part of the reward was a dose of Refined Chaos. This gives the consumer a special ability. Whether that is to receive a Machina Heart, the ability to shape change or a range of other options is up to the consumer. When Tharlin took a dose of this mixed with a special blend of essences it turned him into a shapeshifter bear. He could then choose to change into a bear or werebear at any time he chose.<br />

'''Description'''<br />
Tharlin is a 4'9" 127lbs Dwarven male, a long brown beard braided at the ends that reaches just below his pecs, brown eyes with flecks of gold in them, bushy brown hair that goes down to his shoulders and vaguely scaly-looking flesh. He has average looks (PB 14 naturally) and a shiny amulet around his neck (Greater Amulet of Nabas +2 PB) and seems to always be seen walking around with a long wooden staff<br />

=== Into the woods ===<br />
; Frysday 18th Thaw<br />
We're gathered for work in the early hours of the morning, a late and urgent request has come in from Gnomes to rescue a flying ship and crew that have crashed in [[Bowcourt]] south-east of Mure.<br />
<br />
We gather equipment, do some rituals and head out.<br />
* Greater Enchantment rk 20 on Magic for the season<br />
* 6 x Restoratives 10/20<br />
* 6 x Expired Healing Potions 2D10<br />
* 6 x Special Potions<br />

* 6 x Oils<br />

** Sharpness<br />
** Hair Restoration<br />
** Barkskin<br />
** Sharkskin<br />
** Willowshade<br />
<br />
We walk into [[Seagate]] to Seacliff Estate near Castle Chilton, there we are admitted to an enchanted Garden Gazebo.<br />
<br />
At midday there is a lurching sensation, fortunately we're all inside, and then we're in a rose garden.<br />
<br />
An elderly man (William of [[Mulberry|Mure]], twin brother of Baron Henry) greets us, we're expected. It is a busy, well looked after estate in Armagnac.<br />
<br />
William has gathered supplies for us, a lot of supplies: Food, tree clearing tools, mechanician tools & ropes, and more food.<br />
William's nephew Anton will take a ship with most of the supplies to [[Stormstout Brewery]] while we fly ahead to try to find the crash site.<br />
<br />
The flying vessel is about 50' long with double that in wingspan. Our tracking device is pointing towards the Lupine Woods.<br />
<br />
We have lunch, cast some spells (SoS & Flying), then take flight south-east for the Lupine Woods.<br />
Following the tracker as we get close, we land nearby on a bare hill with a magical circle of standing stones at the top - a barrow?.<br />
Counts as a Druidic Place of Power, associated with a power - '''Romulag'''. Ley lines flow around the barrow, it looks like this is probably a fey wood.<br />
<br />
Rox picks up something watching us, sitting in trees, small with large heads and bodies but no apparent limbs.<br />
Plant-like, '''Tree Spirit''' (Kodama), Fae but not associated with any of the courts, Health/Growth ability.<br />
Kass talks to them, they are sad, trees were stolen, taken, drained. The rocks contain/seal un-life, rot. They have a friend, '''???''', not a false-friend. <br />
The friend checks on trees after big storms, last visited in winter.<br />
<br />
About an hour through the forest, we come to the Gnomes and their crashed craft, feeling a bit sorry for themselves, hungry, & hurt.<br />
''Sky Gnomes'', recently affected by soft-fall magic.<br />
# Splinge (Sterling Cogsprocket) has metal legs and feet. Extra long moustache & pointy beard. Was stuck in a tree - "easier to go up than down".<br />
# Dunbar Stormkinder, pilot/''captain'', walrus moustache.<br />
# Lorcan Skyratchet, peacemaker/leader.<br />
# Eagan Firehand<br />
# Tawnie Lodestar, engineer, built the ship.<br />
# Tulla Goldhand, severe haircut.<br />
# Pongo (Balthazar Wogglebottle), poisoned (ate red berries and toadstools when they got hungry), hydraulics engineer.<br />
<br />
They saw a beacon light (coming from the barrow), came in for a landing, crashed into the trees.<br />
<br />
During the night someone barefoot & invisible approached enough to see us before withdrawing, their tracks show them deviating to check us out while travelling north of us, east to west.<br />
<br />
; Reapsday 19th Thaw<br />
<br />
We walk back to the barrow.<br />
<br />
Long ago, a great spirit/god of the forest became rotten, fell and was entombed/contained here.<br />
The circle syphoned & flared off (growth/life) energy from the barrow to keep it from building up. Many millennia old (Ancient Elven Empire or older). Broken 3 days ago, restoring the stones to their position won't fix it. The circle was built by great mages of the Elves and powerful Seelie Fae. <br />
<br />
We see the prepared smoke signal rising from the Gnome camp indicating they need help.<br />
<br />
=== Fae Hags or Ladies? ===<br />
<br />
We race back, prepared for anything to find 2 gnomes arguing, 1 watching, and Tulla is throwing green leaves on the fire. 3 Gnomes are missing.<br />
: Splinge went east to feed the gremlin (beezly)<br />
: Pongo went north to find a river, he left just after we did<br />
: Egan went north to look for Pongo<br />
We find Splinge fairly quickly, the Gremlin got spooked and made his legs fall off.<br />
After carrying him back to camp, Tharlin picks up the scant trail and we follow the other two north.<br />
<br />
The two Gnomes have managed to go in different directions so we split up too.<br />
<br />
Pongo somehow avoided an area infested with giant spiders that we find by touch.<br />
We find him by a small stream talking with a Fae, near-avatar, Green Lady, Seelie Court, Woods Guardian, centuries old.<br />
The lady offered to help get the Gnomes flying cart free of the trees, if we help her by getting rid of some unseelie to the north-east who are troubling her. Less than a dozen of them, like dark, twisted Satyrs. <br />
<br />
We discuss the mound, it is from before her time but she thinks it may be reborn now that its containment is breached, this is not necessarily a bad thing (from her point of view).<br />
<br />
Tharlin, Dart & Tulla find Egan fleeing through the forest, chased by wood animates, made of sticks, bone and rune stones (non-college, spirit binding, dark ritualistic magic, a couple of hours to make each one. Sacrifice animal, binding spirit to its own skull to create the animus, made by a Black Hag). <br />
They engage.<br />
Tulla fires a fire-crossbow, Dart & Tharlin engage in melee, the fight is quick and one-sided. They then return to camp.<br />
<br />
Several times today we have seen yellow-eyed ravens watching us, someone possessing them that withdraws when we pay attention (the eyes reverting). The Green Lady is intentionally vague, she says they are several beings it could be.<br />
<br />
After lunch we hike north-east to where the Dark Satyrs are supposed to be, we're followed by moving trees.<br />
Clearing around a magic well, faun archers, we try to chat, one of them shoots (elbow jogged by an awakened tree), the fight is on. Hands (of earth and brambles) from both sides are effective, melee damage, spells, arrows.<br />
One of the fauns is killed by an awakened tree, one tree killed by fire arrows, one de-animated by the well.<br />
We capture: <br />
: 2 x Faun - mostly Seelie court.<br />
: 2 x Cervitaur (Faun-Deer style Centaur)<br />
<br />
=== Plot Twist and an intense combat ===<br />
<br />
;Tharlin's Special Takeover of the Scribe Notes<br />
<br />
After the battle, the walking tree was de-animated and we had three agendas<br />
<br />
: 1) Talk to capturees<br />
: 2) Investigate the moving trees <br />
: 3) Investigate the pool<br />
<br />
We find out from one of the fauns (Sorrel) that the lady they're working for is Flora Halfelven. They being Sorrel and the other faun Kale and the two Cervitaurs Sage and Bramble. They said Flora had gone to retrieve a patrol of real fighters and we only fought basket weavers. After precognition, some recitations and divinations of the trees, we find out that the trees were awoken by the Green Hag and instructed to eat the evil satyrs. The flavour of magic seems to be similar to that of the shoulder sigils from the guys Dart and I fought while rescuing Egen. Another recitation from Dart tells us that the pool here is clean water brought over with the fae when they entered the plane. Some of the spirits that came over with them dozed off over time because "the wild has left" basically meaning the forest is a mere shell of an the old great one that was here. <br />
<br />
We decided to wait until Flora came back and she arrived with a woodland-fairy-y folk music played on the flute. For some reason Duvon put moss in his ears then him, Cass and the murder hobbit went glazy-eyed. We noticed archers coming in from both sides and next to Flora there were two ladies behind Flora (one with back Antlers who looked vaguely elvish named Feralia. Another playing the flute was Pomona). We figure out with them that not everything we've heard is true. The Green Lady could secretly be the Green Hag. There are three hags, the green, black and one we haven't encountered. Feralia, Flora's sister, is often referred to as 'tree friend' and the Green Hag could be 'false friend'. Lots to discuss and think about later. Flora and friends also told us they could get us into the corrupted area to challenge the corruption and they could get their druid friend Hawthorne to get the aircraft out from the trees.<br />
<br />
We walk back to the gnome encampment and run into some wolves who don't look quite right. As they get closer, we form up and find they look more like Zombie Dire Wolves. There are about a dozen total around us. Rox took two of them out, using mind magic and we picked off the rest. I clobbered one and smashed its hip making it fall over prone then beat it to a pulp (I'm not cruel, it just kept getting back up). I became the stand-in Mil. Sci as the normal ones are engaged and I'm quick. Both undead re-deads cumpled apart and billowed out green smoke similar to that of the grassy guys Dart and I pummeled earlier but these ones have no sigils. Duvon was bitten and as we finished off our individual wolves, Dart and I ran around helping everyone else. Cass got his first 'kill' and we finished off the rest followed by some investigating. We find out these guys were animated by the Black Hag and their spirits have been bound into their skull pulling along the rest of their body. We head the rest of the way back to the gnome camp and as I got into the clearing I almost had my head speared by wooden stake from a ballista-like contraption made by the gnomes. Luckily they missed and that's the end of the day, Tharlin signing off.<br />

=== Into the woods ===<br />
; Frysday 18th Thaw<br />
We're gathered for work in the early hours of the morning, a late and urgent request has come in from Gnomes to rescue a flying ship and crew that have crashed in [[Bowcourt]] south-east of Mure.<br />
<br />
We gather equipment, do some rituals and head out.<br />
* Greater Enchantment rk 20 on Magic for the season<br />

* 6 x Expired Healing Potions 2D10<br />
* 6 x Special Potions<br />

** Willowshade<br />
<br />
We walk into [[Seagate]] to Seacliff Estate near Castle Chilton, there we are admitted to an enchanted Garden Gazebo.<br />
<br />
At midday there is a lurching sensation, fortunately we're all inside, and then we're in a rose garden.<br />
<br />
An elderly man (William of [[Mulberry|Mure]], twin brother of Baron Henry) greets us, we're expected. It is a busy, well looked after estate in Armagnac.<br />
<br />
William has gathered supplies for us, a lot of supplies: Food, tree clearing tools, mechanician tools & ropes, and more food.<br />
William's nephew Anton will take a ship with most of the supplies to [[Stormstout Brewery]] while we fly ahead to try to find the crash site.<br />
<br />
The flying vessel is about 50' long with double that in wingspan. Our tracking device is pointing towards the Lupine Woods.<br />
<br />
We have lunch, cast some spells (SoS & Flying), then take flight south-east for the Lupine Woods.<br />
Following the tracker as we get close, we land nearby on a bare hill with a magical circle of standing stones at the top - a barrow?.<br />
Counts as a Druidic Place of Power, associated with a power - '''Romulag'''. Ley lines flow around the barrow, it looks like this is probably a fey wood.<br />
<br />
Rox picks up something watching us, sitting in trees, small with large heads and bodies but no apparent limbs.<br />
Plant-like, '''Tree Spirit''' (Kodama), Fae but not associated with any of the courts, Health/Growth ability.<br />
Kass talks to them, they are sad, trees were stolen, taken, drained. The rocks contain/seal un-life, rot. They have a friend, '''???''', not a false-friend. <br />
The friend checks on trees after big storms, last visited in winter.<br />
<br />
About an hour through the forest, we come to the Gnomes and their crashed craft, feeling a bit sorry for themselves, hungry, & hurt.<br />
''Sky Gnomes'', recently affected by soft-fall magic.<br />
# Splinge (Sterling Cogsprocket) has metal legs and feet. Extra long moustache & pointy beard. Was stuck in a tree - "easier to go up than down".<br />
# Dunbar Stormkinder, pilot/''captain'', walrus moustache.<br />
# Lorcan Skyratchet, peacemaker/leader.<br />
# Eagan Firehand<br />
# Tawnie Lodestar, engineer, built the ship.<br />
# Tulla Goldhand, severe haircut.<br />
# Pongo (Balthazar Wogglebottle), poisoned (ate red berries and toadstools when they got hungry), hydraulics engineer.<br />
<br />
They saw a beacon light (coming from the barrow), came in for a landing, crashed into the trees.<br />
<br />
During the night someone barefoot & invisible approached enough to see us before withdrawing, their tracks show them deviating to check us out while travelling north of us, east to west.<br />
<br />
; Reapsday 19th Thaw<br />
<br />
We walk back to the barrow.<br />
<br />
Long ago, a great spirit/god of the forest became rotten, fell and was entombed/contained here.<br />
The circle syphoned & flared off (growth/life) energy from the barrow to keep it from building up. Many millennia old (Ancient Elven Empire or older). Broken 3 days ago, restoring the stones to their position won't fix it. The circle was built by great mages of the Elves and powerful Seelie Fae. <br />
<br />
We see the prepared smoke signal rising from the Gnome camp indicating they need help.<br />
<br />
=== Fae Hags or Ladies? ===<br />
<br />
We race back, prepared for anything to find 2 gnomes arguing, 1 watching, and Tulla is throwing green leaves on the fire. 3 Gnomes are missing.<br />
: Splinge went east to feed the gremlin (beezly)<br />
: Pongo went north to find a river, he left just after we did<br />
: Egan went north to look for Pongo<br />
We find Splinge fairly quickly, the Gremlin got spooked and made his legs fall off.<br />
After carrying him back to camp, Tharlin picks up the scant trail and we follow the other two north.<br />
<br />
The two Gnomes have managed to go in different directions so we split up too.<br />
<br />
Pongo somehow avoided an area infested with giant spiders that we find by touch.<br />
We find him by a small stream talking with a Fae, near-avatar, Green Lady, Seelie Court, Woods Guardian, centuries old.<br />
The lady offered to help get the Gnomes flying cart free of the trees, if we help her by getting rid of some unseelie to the north-east who are troubling her. Less than a dozen of them, like dark, twisted Satyrs. <br />
<br />
We discuss the mound, it is from before her time but she thinks it may be reborn now that its containment is breached, this is not necessarily a bad thing (from her point of view).<br />
<br />
Tharlin, Dart & Tulla find Egan fleeing through the forest, chased by wood animates, made of sticks, bone and rune stones (non-college, spirit binding, dark ritualistic magic, a couple of hours to make each one. Sacrifice animal, binding spirit to its own skull to create the animus, made by a Black Hag). <br />
They engage.<br />
Tulla fires a fire-crossbow, Dart & Tharlin engage in melee, the fight is quick and one-sided. They then return to camp.<br />
<br />
Several times today we have seen yellow-eyed ravens watching us, someone possessing them that withdraws when we pay attention (the eyes reverting). The Green Lady is intentionally vague, she says they are several beings it could be.<br />
<br />
After lunch we hike north-east to where the Dark Satyrs are supposed to be, we're followed by moving trees.<br />
Clearing around a magic well, faun archers, we try to chat, one of them shoots (elbow jogged by an awakened tree), the fight is on. Hands (of earth and brambles) from both sides are effective, melee damage, spells, arrows.<br />
One of the fauns is killed by an awakened tree, one tree killed by fire arrows, one de-animated by the well.<br />
We capture: <br />
: 2 x Faun - mostly Seelie court.<br />
: 2 x Cervitaur (Faun-Deer style Centaur)<br />
<br />
=== Chapter 3 ===<br />
<br />
;Tharlin's Special Takeover of the Scribe Notes<br />
<br />
After the battle, the walking tree was de-animated and we had three agendas<br />
<br />
: 1) Talk to capturees<br />
: 2) Investigate the moving trees <br />
: 3) Investigate the pool<br />
<br />
We find out from one of the fauns (Sorrel) that the lady they're working for is Flora Halfelven. They being Sorrel and the other faun Kale and the two Cervitaurs Sage and Bramble. They said Flora had gone to retrieve a patrol of real fighters and we only fought basket weavers. After precognition, some recitations and divinations of the trees, we find out that the trees were awoken by the Green Hag and instructed to eat the evil satyrs. The flavour of magic seems to be similar to that of the shoulder sigils from the guys Dart and I fought while rescuing Egen. Another recitation from Dart tells us that the pool here is clean water brought over with the fae when they entered the plane. Some of the spirits that came over with them dozed off over time because "the wild has left" basically meaning the forest is a mere shell of an the old great one that was here. <br />
<br />
We decided to wait until Flora came back and she arrived with a woodland-fairy-y folk music played on the flute. For some reason Duvon put moss in his ears then him, Cass and the murder hobbit went glazy-eyed. We noticed archers coming in from both sides and next to Flora there were two ladies behind Flora (one with back Antlers who looked vaguely elvish named Feralia. Another playing the flute was Pomona). We figure out with them that not everything we've heard is true. The Green Lady could secretly be the Green Hag. There are three hags, the green, black and one we haven't encountered. Feralia, Flora's sister, is often referred to as 'tree friend' and the Green Hag could be 'false friend'. Lots to discuss and think about later. Flora and friends also told us they could get us into the corrupted area to challenge the corruption and they could get their druid friend Hawthorne to get the aircraft out from the trees.<br />
<br />
We walk back to the gnome encampment and run into some wolves who don't look quite right. As they get closer, we form up and find they look more like Zombie Dire Wolves. There are about a dozen total around us. Rox took two of them out, using mind magic and we picked off the rest. I clobbered one and smashed its hip making it fall over prone then beat it to a pulp (I'm not cruel, it just kept getting back up). I became the stand-in Mil. Sci as the normal ones are engaged and I'm quick. Both undead re-deads cumpled apart and billowed out green smoke similar to that of the grassy guys Dart and I pummeled earlier but these ones have no sigils. Duvon was bitten and as we finished off our individual wolves, Dart and I ran around helping everyone else. Cass got his first 'kill' and we finished off the rest followed by some investigating. We find out these guys were animated by the Black Hag and their spirits have been bound into their skull pulling along the rest of their body. We head the rest of the way back to the gnome camp and as I got into the clearing I almost had my head speared by wooden stake from a ballista-like contraption made by the gnomes. Luckily they missed and that's the end of the day, Tharlin signing off.<br />

They saw a beacon light (coming from the barrow), came in for a landing, crashed into the trees.<br />
<br />
During the night someone barefoot & invisible approached enough to see us before withdrawing, their tracks show them deviating to check us out while travelling north of us, east to west.<br />
<br />
; Reapsday 19th Thaw<br />
<br />
We walk back to the barrow.<br />
<br />
Long ago, a great spirit/god of the forest became rotten, fell and was entombed/contained here.<br />
The circle syphoned & flared off (growth/life) energy from the barrow to keep it from building up. Many millennia old (Ancient Elven Empire or older). Broken 3 days ago, restoring the stones to their position won't fix it. The circle was built by great mages of the Elves and powerful Seelie Fae. <br />
<br />
We see the prepared smoke signal rising from the Gnome camp indicating they need help.<br />
<br />
=== Fae Hags or Ladies? ===<br />
<br />
We race back, prepared for anything to find 2 gnomes arguing, 1 watching, and Tulla is throwing green leaves on the fire. 3 Gnomes are missing.<br />
: Splinge went east to feed the gremlin (beezly)<br />
: Pongo went north to find a river, he left just after we did<br />
: Egan went north to look for Pongo<br />
We find Splinge fairly quickly, the Gremlin got spooked and made his legs fall off.<br />
After carrying him back to camp, Tharlin picks up the scant trail and we follow the other two north.<br />
<br />
The two Gnomes have managed to go in different directions so we split up too.<br />
<br />
Pongo somehow avoided an area infested with giant spiders that we find by touch.<br />
We find him by a small stream talking with a Fae, near-avatar, Green Lady, Seelie Court, Woods Guardian, centuries old.<br />
The lady offered to help get the Gnomes flying cart free of the trees, if we help her by getting rid of some unseelie to the north-east who are troubling her. Less than a dozen of them, like dark, twisted Satyrs. <br />
<br />
We discuss the mound, it is from before her time but she thinks it may be reborn now that its containment is breached, this is not necessarily a bad thing (from her point of view).<br />
<br />
Tharlin, Dart & Tulla find Egan fleeing through the forest, chased by wood animates, made of sticks, bone and rune stones (non-college, spirit binding, dark ritualistic magic, a couple of hours to make each one. Sacrifice animal, binding spirit to its own skull to create the animus, made by a Black Hag). <br />
They engage.<br />
Tulla fires a fire-crossbow, Dart & Tharlin engage in melee, the fight is quick and one-sided. They then return to camp.<br />
<br />
Several times today we have seen yellow-eyed ravens watching us, someone possessing them that withdraws when we pay attention (the eyes reverting). The Green Lady is intentionally vague, she says they are several beings it could be.<br />
<br />
After lunch we hike north-east to where the Dark Satyrs are supposed to be, we're followed by moving trees.<br />
Clearing around a magic well, faun archers, we try to chat, one of them shoots (elbow jogged by an awakened tree), the fight is on. Hands (of earth and brambles) from both sides are effective, melee damage, spells, arrows.<br />
One of the fauns is killed by an awakened tree, one tree killed by fire arrows, one de-animated by the well.<br />
We capture: <br />
: 2 x Faun - mostly Seelie court.<br />
: 2 x Cervitaur (Faun-Deer style Centaur)<br />
<br />

<br />
;Tharlin's Special Takeover of the Scribe Notes<br />
<br />
After the battle, the walking tree was de-animated and we had three agendas<br />
<br />
: 1) Talk to capturees<br />
: 2) Investigate the moving trees <br />
: 3) Investigate the pool<br />
<br />
We find out from one of the fauns (Sorrel) that the lady they're working for is Flora Halfelven. They being the other faun Kale and the two Cervitaurs Sage and Bramble. They said Flora had gone to retrieve a patrol of real fighters and we fought basket weavers. After precognition, some recitations and divinations of the trees, we find out that the trees were awoken by the Green Hag and instructed to eat the evil satyrs. The flavour of magic seems to be similar to that of the shoulder sigils from the guys Dart and I fought while rescuing Egen. Another recitation from Dart tells us that the pool here is clean water brought over with the fae when they entered the plane. Some of the spirits that came over with them dozed off over time because "the wild has left" basically meaning the forest is a mere shell of an the old great one that was here. <br />
<br />
We decided to wait until Flora came back and she arrived with a woodland-fairy-y folk music played on the flute. For some reason Duvon put moss in his ears then him, Cass and the murder hobbit went glazy-eyed. We noticed archers coming in from both sides and next to Flora there were two ladies behind Flora (one with back Antlers who looked vaguely elvish named Feralia. Another playing the flute was Pomona). We figure out with them that not everything we've heard is true. The Green Lady could secretly be the Green Hag. There are three hags, the green, black and one we haven't encountered. Feralia, Flora's sister, is often referred to as 'tree friend' and the Green Hag could be 'false friend'. Lots to discuss and think about later. Flora and friends also told us they could get us into the corrupted area to challenge the corruption and they could get their druid friend Hawthorne to get the aircraft out from the trees.<br />
<br />
We walk back to the gnome encampment and run into some wolves who don't look quite right. As they get closer, we form up and find they look more like Zombie Dire Wolves. There are about a dozen total around us. Rox took two of them out, using mind magic and we picked off the rest. I clobbered one and smashed its hip making it fall over prone then beat it to a pulp (I'm not cruel, it just kept getting back up). I became the stand-in Mil. Sci as the normal ones are engaged and I'm quick. Both undead re-deads cumpled apart and billowed out green smoke similar to that of the grassy guys Dart and I pummeled earlier but these ones have no sigils. Duvon was bitten and as we finished off our individual wolves, Dart and I ran around helping everyone else. Cass got his first 'kill' and we finished off the rest followed by some investigating. We find out these guys were animated by the Black Hag and their spirits have been bound into their skull pulling along the rest of their body. We head the rest of the way back to the gnome camp and as I got into the clearing I almost had my head speared by wooden stake from a ballista-like contraption made by the gnomes. Luckily they missed and that's the end of the day, Tharlin signing off.<br />

=== Into the woods ===<br />
; Frysday 18th Thaw<br />
We're gathered for work in the early hours of the morning, a late and urgent request has come in from Gnomes to rescue a flying ship and crew that have crashed in [[Bowcourt]] south-east of Mure.<br />
<br />
We gather equipment, do some rituals and head out.<br />
* Greater Enchantment rk 20 on Magic for the season<br />
* 6 x Restoratives 10/20<br />
* 6 x Expired Healing Potions 2D10<br />
* 6 x Special Potions<br />
** Stoneskin<br />
** Slow Trollskin<br />
** Heroism<br />
** Spider Climb<br />
** Gullibility<br />
** Vitality<br />
* 6 x Oils<br />
** Mending<br />
** Sharpness<br />
** Hair Restoration<br />
** Barkskin<br />
** Sharkskin<br />
** Willowshade<br />
<br />
We walk into [[Seagate]] to Seacliff Estate near Castle Chilton, there we are admitted to an enchanted Garden Gazebo.<br />
<br />
At midday there is a lurching sensation, fortunately we're all inside, and then we're in a rose garden.<br />
<br />
An elderly man (William of [[Mulberry|Mure]], twin brother of Baron Henry) greets us, we're expected. It is a busy, well looked after estate in Armagnac.<br />
<br />
William has gathered supplies for us, a lot of supplies: Food, tree clearing tools, mechanician tools & ropes, and more food.<br />
William's nephew Anton will take a ship with most of the supplies to [[Stormstout Brewery]] while we fly ahead to try to find the crash site.<br />
<br />
The flying vessel is about 50' long with double that in wingspan. Our tracking device is pointing towards the Lupine Woods.<br />
<br />
We have lunch, cast some spells (SoS & Flying), then take flight south-east for the Lupine Woods.<br />
Following the tracker as we get close, we land nearby on a bare hill with a magical circle of standing stones at the top - a barrow?.<br />
Counts as a Druidic Place of Power, associated with a power - '''Romulag'''. Ley lines flow around the barrow, it looks like this is probably a fey wood.<br />
<br />
Rox picks up something watching us, sitting in trees, small with large heads and bodies but no apparent limbs.<br />
Plant-like, '''Tree Spirit''' (Kodama), Fae but not associated with any of the courts, Health/Growth ability.<br />
Kass talks to them, they are sad, trees were stolen, taken, drained. The rocks contain/seal un-life, rot. They have a friend, '''???''', not a false-friend. <br />
The friend checks on trees after big storms, last visited in winter.<br />
<br />
About an hour through the forest, we come to the Gnomes and their crashed craft, feeling a bit sorry for themselves, hungry, & hurt.<br />
''Sky Gnomes'', recently affected by soft-fall magic.<br />

<br />
They saw a beacon light (coming from the barrow), came in for a landing, crashed into the trees.<br />
<br />
During the night someone barefoot & invisible approached enough to see us before withdrawing, their tracks show them deviating to check us out while travelling north of us, east to west.<br />
<br />
; Reapsday 19th Thaw<br />
<br />
We walk back to the barrow.<br />
<br />
Long ago, a great spirit/god of the forest became rotten, fell and was entombed/contained here.<br />

=== Into the woods ===<br />
; Frysday 18th Thaw<br />
We're gathered for work in the early hours of the morning, a late and urgent request has come in from Gnomes to rescue a flying ship and crew that have crashed in [[Bowcourt]] south-east of Mure.<br />
<br />
We gather equipment, do some rituals and head out.<br />
* Greater Enchantment rk 20 on Magic for the season<br />
* 6 x Restoratives 10/20<br />
* 6 x Expired Healing Potions 2D10<br />
* 6 x Special Potions<br />
** Stoneskin<br />
** Slow Trollskin<br />
** Heroism<br />
** Spider Climb<br />
** Gullibility<br />
** Vitality<br />
* 6 x Oils<br />
** Mending<br />
** Sharpness<br />
** Hair Restoration<br />
** Barkskin<br />
** Sharkskin<br />
** Willowshade<br />
<br />
We walk into [[Seagate]] to Seacliff Estate near Castle Chilton, there we are admitted to an enchanted Garden Gazebo.<br />
<br />
At midday there is a lurching sensation, fortunately we're all inside, and then we're in a rose garden.<br />
<br />
An elderly man (William of [[Mulberry|Mure]], twin brother of Baron Henry) greets us, we're expected. It is a busy, well looked after estate in Armagnac.<br />
<br />
William has gathered supplies for us, a lot of supplies: Food, tree clearing tools, mechanician tools & ropes, and more food.<br />
William's nephew Anton will take a ship with most of the supplies to [[Stormstout Brewery]] while we fly ahead to try to find the crash site.<br />
<br />
The flying vessel is about 50' long with double that in wingspan. Our tracking device is pointing towards the Lupine Woods.<br />
<br />
We have lunch, cast some spells (SoS & Flying), then take flight south-east for the Lupine Woods.<br />
Following the tracker as we get close, we land nearby on a bare hill with a magical circle of standing stones at the top - a barrow?.<br />
Counts as a Druidic Place of Power, associated with a power - '''Romulag'''. Ley lines flow around the barrow, it looks like this is probably a fey wood.<br />
<br />
Rox picks up something watching us, sitting in trees, small with large heads and bodies but no apparent limbs.<br />
Plant-like, '''Tree Spirit''' (Kodama), Fae but not associated with any of the courts, Health/Growth ability.<br />
Kass talks to them, they are sad, trees were stolen, taken, drained. The rocks contain/seal un-life, rot. They have a friend, '''???''', not a false-friend. <br />
The friend checks on trees after big storms, last visited in winter.<br />
<br />
About an hour through the forest, we come to the Gnomes and their crashed craft, feeling a bit sorry for themselves, hungry, & hurt.<br />
''Sky Gnomes'', recently affected by soft-fall magic.<br />
# Splinge (Sterling Cogsprocket) has metal legs and feet. Extra long moustache & pointy beard. Was stuck in a tree - "easier to go up than down".<br />
# Dunbar Stormkinder, pilot/''captain'', walrus moustache.<br />
# Lorcan Skyratchet, peacemaker/leader.<br />
# Eagan Firehand<br />
# Tawnie Lodestar, engineer, built the ship.<br />
# Tulla Goldhand, severe haircut.<br />
# Pongo (Balthazar Wogglebottle), poisoned (ate red berries and toadstools when they got hungry), hydraulics engineer.<br />
<br />
They saw a beacon light (coming from the barrow), came in for a landing, crashed into the trees.<br />
<br />
During the night someone barefoot & invisible approached enough to see us before withdrawing, their tracks show them deviating to check us out while travelling north of us, east to west.<br />
<br />
; Reapsday 19th Thaw<br />
<br />
We walk back to the barrow.<br />
<br />
Long ago, a great spirit/god of the forest became rotten, fell and was entombed/contained here.<br />
The circle syphoned & flared off (growth/life) energy from the barrow to keep it from building up. Many millennia old (Ancient Elven Empire or older). Broken 3 days ago, restoring the stones to their position won't fix it. The circle was built by great mages of the Elves and powerful Seelie Fae. <br />
<br />
We see the prepared smoke signal rising from the Gnome camp indicating they need help.<br />
<br />
=== Fae Hags or Ladies? ===<br />
<br />
We race back, prepared for anything to find 2 gnomes arguing, 1 watching, and Tulla is throwing green leaves on the fire. 3 Gnomes are missing.<br />
: Splinge went east to feed the gremlin (beezly)<br />
: Pongo went north to find a river, he left just after we did<br />
: Egan went north to look for Pongo<br />
We find Splinge fairly quickly, the Gremlin got spooked and made his legs fall off.<br />
After carrying him back to camp, Tharlin picks up the scant trail and we follow the other two north.<br />
<br />
The two Gnomes have managed to go in different directions so we split up too.<br />
<br />
Pongo somehow avoided an area infested with giant spiders that we find by touch.<br />
We find him by a small stream talking with a Fae, near-avatar, Green Lady, Seelie Court, Woods Guardian, centuries old.<br />
The lady offered to help get the Gnomes flying cart free of the trees, if we help her by getting rid of some unseelie to the north-east who are troubling her. Less than a dozen of them, like dark, twisted Satyrs. <br />
<br />
We discuss the mound, it is from before her time but she thinks it may be reborn now that its containment is breached, this is not necessarily a bad thing (from her point of view).<br />
<br />
Tharlin, Dart & Tulla find Egan fleeing through the forest, chased by wood animates, made of sticks, bone and rune stones (non-college, spirit binding, dark ritualistic magic, a couple of hours to make each one. Sacrifice animal, binding spirit to its own skull to create the animus, made by a Black Hag). <br />
They engage.<br />
Tulla fires a fire-crossbow, Dart & Tharlin engage in melee, the fight is quick and one-sided. They then return to camp.<br />
<br />
Several times today we have seen yellow-eyed ravens watching us, someone possessing them that withdraws when we pay attention (the eyes reverting). The Green Lady is intentionally vague, she says they are several beings it could be.<br />
<br />
After lunch we hike north-east to where the Dark Satyrs are supposed to be, we're followed by moving trees.<br />
Clearing around a magic well, faun archers, we try to chat, one of them shoots (elbow jogged by an awakened tree), the fight is on. Hands (of earth and brambles) from both sides are effective, melee damage, spells, arrows.<br />
One of the fauns is killed by an awakened tree, one tree killed by fire arrows, one de-animated by the well.<br />
We capture: <br />
: 2 x Faun - mostly Seelie court.<br />
: 2 x Cervitaur (Faun-Deer style Centaur)<br />

<br />
Several times today we have seen yellow-eyed ravens watching us, someone possessing them that withdraws when we pay attention (the eyes reverting). The Green Lady is intentionally vague, she says they are several beings it could be.<br />
<br />
After lunch we hike north-east to where the Dark Satyrs are supposed to be, we're followed by moving trees.<br />
Clearing around a magic well, faun archers, we try to chat, one of them shoots (elbow jogged by an awakened tree), the fight is on. Hands (of earth and brambles) from both sides are effective, melee damage, spells, arrows.<br />
One of the fauns is killed by an awakened tree, one tree killed by fire arrows, one de-animated by the well.<br />
We capture: <br />
: 2 x Faun - mostly Seelie court.<br />
: 2 x Cervitaur (Faun-Deer style Centaur)<br />

<hr />
<div>Tharlin is a Dwarven Air Mage played by [[user:Conal|Conal]]. His first adventure was Blood, Sweat and Beers in the Autumn of 818wk. As a young Dwarf, growing up in [[High Castle]], he never really felt that he belonged; that he was different from everybody else. Of course, the political unrest didn't help with any of that. Getting older, he realized he loved being outside far more than underground, being up in the mountains he felt so free and it was the first place ever for him that just felt right. All he wanted to do was get to the sky, touch the clouds, untethered to the ground. This was an uncommon view as most dwarves wouldn't dream of being anywhere but underground. Tharlin had heard about the Guild of adventurers and the magics they could display so he sought it out, hoping to one day touch the clouds. On his way, he discovered [[Bromli]] and [[Cronose]]'s Brewery and began working there for money and a place to live. While it didn't happen straight away, Tharlin became an Air Mage and set out on an adventure hoping to earn the experience and money to learn to fly. Then finally, after his second adventure, [[Novadom Road North]] he learned to fly, free to reach the sky. He now continues to work at the guild and [[Bromli]] and [[Cronose]]'s Brewery developing his college and skills so he can be the best Air Mage he can as it's the only thing that makes him feel free.<br />

==Un-bear-able==<br />
Over the years Tharlin has been associated with bears more and more. It all started on his first adventure in Autumn 818wk: Blood, Sweat and Beers. Tharlin and his party made up of Hayden, [[Haedric]], [[Cob]], and [[Sprockett]] wandered upon the old forest spirit Ursok the bear in a very sacred grove. Ursok was a very magical bear who seemed to have an almost instant connection to Tharlin. Ursok later passed on along with his sacred grove, leaving a staff for Tharlin to keep and remember him by. This staff was a part of the big tree in the centre of Ursok's grove. It gives Tharlin and only Tharlin the strength and endurance of a mighty bear while the staff is in his hand/s. In a more recent adventure, Covert Fox (Autumn 822wk), part of the reward was a dose of Refined Chaos. This gives the consumer a special ability. Whether that is to receive a Machina Heart, the ability to shape change or a range of other options is up to the consumer. When Tharlin took a dose of this mixed with a special blend of essences it turned him into a shapeshifter bear. He could then choose to change into a bear or werebear at any time he chose.<br />

'''Description'''<br />
Tharlin is a 4'9" 127lbs Dwarven male, a long brown beard braided at the ends that reaches just below his pecs, brown eyes with flecks of gold in them, bushy brown hair that goes down to his shoulders and vaguely scaly-looking flesh. He has average looks (PB 14 naturally) and a shiny amulet around his neck (Greater Amulet of Nabas +2 PB) and seems to always be seen walking around with a long wooden staff<br />
