1 Frost We meet the Baronesses' retainer John who confirms that the daughter in law, is indeed wicked practicing foul habits including magic and dancing naked through the hills... we agree immediately to take the job on hearing the latter heinous crime, in fact forget to even inquire what the pay will be... Its all politics and the plan is to replace the dancing daughter in law with the Baronesses second son, her first son having perished nobly & alone without significant retainers while facing down 200 orc's about to bust through a castle breach. There is no open hostility between the two women, but if my knowledge of womenfolk is any good are glaring at each other like two cats in the same yard. The daughter in law is apparently an ex "adventuress", which to mother-in-law no doubt has only one possible meaning..... Quentin - not only an orc but also a milk drinking woman fearing Holy Roller to boot, is against my advice elected party leader - last adventure Lady Nicola, lovely lass but a damned pre-Raphaelite held this role & it caused all manner of problems in conducting legalised banditry for some other noble lady. Our destination is the town of Goodbridge where 20 or so rertainers reside in a castle guarding a bridge.

After obtaining heavily discounted greater enchantments from the guild, not that I need one of course - it was more by way of reassurance for the others, Boris the Orc & I head out for a departure feast - to toast our gods but mostly to feast on large chunks of roasted meat, tell lies about our daring and meet the local lasses who are suitably enamoured after they see the colour of our silver. Quentin, Horton and the easily impressed Ignis a new adventurer and already picking up bad habits, are off to get an early night, drink a cup of warm milk & kneel to say their prayers. It wont do them any good! The ale turns out to be foul - I ask Boris about his & he says it ok - but he is an orc & so I have a taste - disgusting like cats piss. I,ve been cruelly cursed it dawns on me. A check at the guild's Namer's college reveals that some dodgy back myrrh has been used by the Ensorcerers & that anyone who received a greater enchantment will have two curses. Mine are that the first cup of ale of anyway will taste like crap & I will suffer from hives under the moonlight… Well there dis good news amongst the bad. Boris & I head back to the tavern I quickly scull the fists cup - the 2nd tastes great!!!

2 Frost Boris & I awake in the stable at cocks crow - Quentin's plan is to ride to our destination so we slept there to save time - it will only take a month each way. John the retainer is not present. he too has been partying - same as everyone in the guild aside from Boris, Ignis & Horton - & has to be first located and then dragged from the temple of "The One Horned God" where he has signed up. Everyone is tainted by the dodgy "Greater" - as follows: Boris- nightmares & spells will cause black spooky tendrils to arise form the earth. Quentin - a stone will be permanently lodges in his shoe & will always make a bad impression to there although he is an orc so this is no shock. Horton - allergic to potatoes & will jolt during shape changing - ever wanted to see a shaved cat? Ignis - will fart while casting magic & contact with the opposite sex will make him change colour.

On reflection we elect to fly & are equipped with 20 hour flying spells. Food will be scarce so we all
