Session Overview

In-game Date: 14th Falkhyn 1197md, Mid-Afternoon

• After speaking to the council, the heroes split to speak to different people.
  • They start by speaking to Kerrywyn the Yellow, who is the innkeeper.
  • Each hero rents a room from the inn.
• Speaking to Kerrywyn, they learn the following:
  • He speaks about the militia's training and thinks that it won't be long before they kill Gryznyk.
  • He says "We've got them runnin' scared!"
  • He has a speculative eye as he watches Glint.
  • He asks Davian what kind of man is Glint, who replies that he recently came into money and was replacing his clothing.
• The party go and speak to Walker the Shrub, who runs the only trading store in town.
  • He says that Gryznyk regularly goes north with a band of goblins to meet with other gnolls and make plans.
  • Davian mutters to Elowen and Magpie about potentially pimping out the Half-Orc to Kerrywyn's eldest daughter Enith.
• Davian and Elowen to speak with Ifon Picton whilst Magpie tracks down Kiint the Leper.
• Ifon Picton
  • Davian thinks that Ifon looks familiar and after a lot of thinking, he remembered that Ifon was a regular at court, until he decided to leave.
  • His philandering at the courts in New Aenoch left many a broken heart in his wake, and not a few angry and vengeful lords seeking his head.
  • Davian speaks to Ifon to distract him whilst Elowen uses her Mind Reading to find out that yes, the rumours were very true.
  • He has since decided on a life of anonymity. This decision does not rest well with him, as his natural inclination for travel and trouble making is bound to lead him to dire straits some day.
  • He confirms that the bounty is real and how it can be claimed.
  • Ifon was well versed in the ancient lore of the region and knows much about the history of the Horned One, the Curse of the Drunderry, and other sundries; parting with this information over a flagon of brew.
• Kiint the Leper
  • Magpie goes to speak to Kiint the Leper, finding him hunting on the river edges.
  • His disease has left him scarred and ostracized.
  • He is a loner and spends most of his time hunting for the small gazelle so plentiful across the Drunderry.
  • He knows much about the surrounding territory.
  • He points out the old Imperial Road on the eastern side of the river.
  • He explains that goblins regularly travel the river.
  • He also shows a place he calls The Craggy Ridge, a high point located about a mile north of Malforten. It offers a decent view of the river valley leading down to Malforten. One can easily see the town from this vantage point.
• The party met up again outside the tavern and discuss what to do next.
• Elowen offers to scout the river by using Shape Shifting to take the form of a small hawk.
• Magpie flies off with her.
• Glint and Davian watch them fly off before making their way to the river.
• As they walk, one of the inhabitants of Malforten is coming the other way from the river.
• The man is behaving a bit shifty, his eyes widening and his face paling as they walked into view.
• His eyes darted in various directions before he decides to take a different route.
• The heroes looked at each other then sped faster to chase him.
• Since they were in good fettle in comparison to the townsman, the chase doesn't last long as they bring him down.
• Glint gives the townsman a filthy stare, intimidating him and threatening him with a gruff voice.
  • The townsman's name is Gwion the Conner, he was returning from fishing.
  • When Glint intimates that there was a traitor or spy in the town, he and Davian saw the flinch and they draw the details from him.
  • Several months ago, while looking for a stray cow, he was caught by some goblins and threatened with death.
  • He offered the goblins information on the militia and the reward in return for sparing his life.
  • He now meets a goblin near the banks of the Drunderry River once a week or so on his frequent fishing trips.
  • On these trips, he gives the goblins information on what is occurring in Malforten.
  • Davian calms the townsman down and offers him a small bribe. In return to telling them everything, they would pay him enough for him to get away from Malforten.
  • The heroes plan to stake out the river, knowing that Gwion would be meeting the goblins in two days.

In-game Date: _14th Falkhyn 1197md, Mid-Evening

• That evening, the heroes and the townsfolk were relaxing after food and brews.
  • Glint was introduced to Enith by her father. There was no real interest between them and the half-orc pointed out that the party would be moving to make fame and fortunes.
  • Griffry the Hat was quiet and introspective, looking lost.
  • Eryl was training the militia.
  • Blodwyn was socialising and talk about plants and herbs, and potions.
  • Madith was sat by the fire, looking melancholy.
  • Amanda is speaking to some of the wives about blessing the animals and healing the children; asking only for a tithe of grain or wine for the chapel.
  • Gwion avoids speaking to the party but keeps an eye on them.
