	Buoyed by the knowledge that dark forces are building tiny disease-ridden stone summoning circles all across the countryside, we ride on. We reach Hillcrest around 4am, and have to doze on the hard road for an hour or two until the smell of baking bread wafts over from the village inn and Peter lets us disturb the humans. Walking in to the village, the Orc, Lizard, Knight, Viking and Stripper all get hostile stares, but we are not offended as the villagers are hostile and rude to each other as well. Many of them are also life-drained & will-bound to the forces of hell. We eventually get the horses stabled and have breakfast, while a message is sent to Father D'Assini to see if he will accept visitors. If he says 'no', we would be suspicious and see him anyway, but we have to go through the right process. Humans! The breakfast is poor, as the harvest has been bad – no fresh berries, and the gruel is from mouldy grain. The fish is OK, so maybe the waterways aren't affected. Even the stables have some possession wards running. We sleep for a few hours, except Peter, who cleans his armour. With no sleep, his decisions will keep getting worse.

	Around 9am, we finally get a reply from the innkeeper that Father D'Assini will see us – he is in a tower 4 miles NE of Hillcrest. He warns us to come with extra caution; Peter says 'just ride normally'. We follow a cart track. As we enter a small stand of trees, I feel there is likely to be an ambush, so I warn the party and dismount. Only Peter is a good horseman, and the two earth mages and the lizard need to be on the ground to either fight or cast magic. We are attacked by more than a score of blacked ~~wingÃ©d~~ things, which swoop in and leech onto our faces and those of our horses. We shred those that get close, while our horses rear and panic. Peter gallops in circles, trying to stab them with his lance. We group up and help each other and cast a couple of spells to take some of them down, and then when we have a breathing space and have removed the creatures from our horses, we mount up and head on out of the woods. The creatures are neither birds nor reptiles nor bats, but creatures of foul magic - not that we read their auras.

	A couple of miles further along the cart track, we come over a rise and see a small keep, with a number of high-ranking Urielites hanging around the base. In this case, I mean literally hanging, as in by the neck on gibbets. We approach the tower, and are challenged by a Urielite Brother, who then orders us to come inside. Like good little lambs, we do so. Apparently the Father is going to be 'busy' for another half-hour, so we stable and brush down the horses to avoid being snubbed. Eventually we enter the main keep, where the Brother and Father D'Assini great us. D'Assini is a sorcerer with many magical trickets. There is a table of food, covered with cloth and warded – they claim this is they entire supply of food. The story is then laid on more thickly: apparently all the Urielites were hung for their own good, and for the safety of the countryside. There is a man upstairs, called The Traveller, who D'Assini is tending to. This is supposedly the source of the plague. After a short discussion, we are advised to leave all our magic items behind in the great hall, and to allow the Brother to 'ward' them, as otherwise The Traveller will turn them against us. We are assured that our own ward rituals will not protect the items fro the traveller's influence. The party meekly start stripping off their items. Once more, for the record, I will mention that Peter had no sleep last night, and was trained to believe and obey other members of the Urielite order, so our Leader and Military Strategist should not be held completely to blame. These notes have been left in Judith's saddle-bags, and she has been left free at the keep gate with strict instructions to wait until the party is ritually slaughtered or we come back corrupted, and then flee east and down river until she finds a nice master.

We follow the ox path with my horse Judith leading the way, as she is the only one in the party with Witchsight.

	The trip to the first on our list, the brother, started out to be a bit convoluted and narrow, but soon turned into more wider, but not much higher, tunnels.

	We made good time, now that the tunnels were easier, only stopping to lower the wards and magical traps, and for some reason, Sam to doodle on the walls. It is not until we came across one particular trap, one that involved Maryfeather kneeling down, moving a brick, and flicking a switch, that I realized Sam was actually marking our way. Also this trap was quite interesting, it was at a t-intersection and when Maryfeather deactivated it a gate came down blocking the way. I noticed that it was magical and pointed it out, ~~thatâ€™s~~ when Sam cleared his throat and spat at the gate, the spit sizzled when it hit.

	Buoyed by the knowledge that dark forces are building tiny disease-ridden stone summoning circles all across the countryside, we ride on. We reach Hillcrest around 4am, and have to doze on the hard road for an hour or two until the smell of baking bread wafts over from the village inn and Peter lets us disturb the humans. Walking in to the village, the Orc, Lizard, Knight, Viking and Stripper all get hostile stares, but we are not offended as the villagers are hostile and rude to each other as well. Many of them are also life-drained & will-bound to the forces of hell. We eventually get the horses stabled and have breakfast, while a message is sent to Father D'Assini to see if he will accept visitors. If he says â€˜noâ€™, we would be suspicious and see him anyway, but we have to go through the right process. Humans! The breakfast is poor, as the harvest has been bad ~~â€“~~ no fresh berries, and the gruel is from mouldy grain. The fish is OK, so maybe the waterways arenâ€™t affected. Even the stables have some possession wards running. We sleep for a few hours, except Peter, who cleans his armour. With no sleep, his decisions will keep getting worse.

	Around 9am, we finally get a reply from the innkeeper that Father D'Assini will see us ~~â€“~~ he is in a tower 4 miles NE of Hillcrest. He warns us to come with extra caution; Peter says â€˜just ride normallyâ€™. We follow a cart track. As we enter a small stand of trees, I feel there is likely to be an ambush, so I warn the party and dismount. Only Peter is a good horseman, and the two earth mages and the lizard need to be on the ground to either fight or cast magic. We are attacked by more than a score of blacked wingÃ©d things, which swoop in and leech onto our faces and those of our horses. We shred those that get close, while our horses rear and panic. Peter gallops in circles, trying to stab them with his lance. We group up and help each other and cast a couple of spells to take some of them down, and then when we have a breathing space and have removed the creatures from our horses, we mount up and head on out of the woods. The creatures are neither birds nor reptiles nor bats, but creatures of foul magic - not that we read their auras.

The creatures are neither birds nor reptiles nor bats, but creatures of foul magic - not that we read their auras.

	A couple of miles further along the cart track, we come over a rise and see a small keep, with a number of high-ranking Urielites hanging around the base. In this case, I mean literally hanging, as in by the neck on gibbets. We approach the tower, and are challenged by a Urielite Brother, who then orders us to come inside. Like good little lambs, we do so. Apparently the Father is going to be â€˜busyâ€™ for another half-hour, so we stable and brush down the horses to avoid being snubbed. Eventually we enter the main keep, where the Brother and Father Dâ€™Assini great us. Dâ€™Assini is a sorcerer with many magical trickets. There is a table of food, covered with cloth and warded ~~â€“~~ they claim this is they entire supply of food. The story is then laid on more thickly: apparently all the Urielites were hung for their own good, and for the safety of the countryside. There is a man upstairs, called The Traveller, who Dâ€™Assini is tending to. This is supposedly the source of the plague. After a short discussion, we are advised to leave all our magic items behind in the great hall, and to allow the Brother to â€˜wardâ€™ them, as otherwise The Traveller will turn them against us. We are assured that our own ward rituals will not protect the items fro the travellerâ€™s influence. The party meekly start stripping off their items. Once more, for the record, I will mention that Peter had no sleep last night, and was trained to believe and obey other members of the Urielite order, so our Leader and Military Strategist should not be held completely to blame. These notes have been left in Judithâ€™s saddle-bags, and she has been left free at the keep gate with strict instructions to wait until the party is ritually slaughtered or we come back corrupted, and then flee east and down river until she finds a nice master.
