Ragnorra Session 6

Start: 1 pm, thursday, june (kythorn) 4, 1396

The guard escorted the party out of the Darstan Estate.

Kal quickly excused himself and specified he had urgent business to attend to.

The party headed to the graveyard on Vix's behest, to collect Simon.

Upon arrival, they noticed a man praying or meditating near the northern mausoleum.

Ronja and Vix attempted to sneak around him, but Vix betrayed their presence by kicking a rock accidentally.

The man introduced himself and explained who he was, as did Ronja and Vix.

They headed into the mausoleum, and Vix noticed the hatch to the sewers was no longer obscured as it previously was, indicating fresh activity through this passage.

They cracked the hatch to the sewer, and saw Simon waiting for them.

Vix exited and collected a coffin from the groundskeeper.

She returned and collectively as a group, the three of them nailed Simon into the coffin, and brought him to the surface.

Vix and Cassius collected their wagon and cart, and returned to the mausoleum. Vix loaded Simon into the wagon.

They agreed to travel with each other, for a time. Cassius was lured by the promise of a hefty reward for the bounty.

The three of them departed north, out of Proskur.

On the way north, the party noticed a collapsed merchant caravan off the side of the road. The merchant introduced himself as Barny Crowley. He had two Tuigan mercenary guards. Barny explained he was driven off the road by a caravan of Zhentarim, carrying cages of people north for not paying a "road tax". The cargo he carried, he explained, was exotic alcohol.

Collectively, the party assisted the merchant onto the road, sans wagon.

Cassius haggled with the merchant and tried to sell him his cart, donkey, and his own exotic spirits.

The merchant was keen on the first two, and they settled on a price.

The merchant urged them to be safe on the road, and to look out for the slavers, and went on his own way south, towards Proskur. The party did the same.

They headed north to the bridge of fallen men. Upon arriving, they had a chat with a Purple Dragon Knight. He informed them the supposed kidnapper was arrested and was held in the lockup in Suzail. The name he gave them was Hans Periwinkle, supposedly a gnome. The guard expressed doubt he could be responsible for all the kidnappings, but the authorities had their scapegoat so the population was settled for a time.

The party encamped at the bedrolls on the north, Cormyran side of the bridge.

They noticed the tracks of the wagon headed north, but decided against pursuing it for the moment, instead electing to head towards Suzail.

They traveled for quite some time towards Suzail, periodically resting.

On saturday morning, they were woken up by a knock at the door to Vix's wagon. It was two mounted Valkur's Roar guards doing a welfare check on these supposedly dangerous road. After finding nothing amiss, they warned Vix to be safe and careful on the road, and made their exit.

They ate breakfast, and Vix fed Simon.

Vix will suffer the effects of Filth Fever upon waking.

Simon Fairchild, the ghoul, fed at 6 am, saturday, june 6, and will need to feed before tuesday june 9, or suffer the effects of diet dependency on flesh.
200 xp for session.

End: 6 am, saturday, june, 6, 1396
