Session 4: Who is Hilda? Report
General Summary
The next morning
The party awakens and had decided before bed the night before that it would be best to approach
Hilda Thornberry and see what she knew about Lyria and the night in which she died.
They leave the
The Restless Spirit of The Shadowed Oaken Inn and meet
Garrick Stone who gives directions to
Hilda Thornberry house in
Mareford.
Over the bridge and the little hut with the gardens and herbs - Garrick
This is the first time the party with clarity of thought and daylight get to see
Mareford a little hamlet made up of only a few houses, an inn and a blacksmith from what they could see. There are signs from the limited number of houses that the families here either hunt, fish or farm. Food ahs to come from somewhere...
Hildas House
The party meets
Hilda Thornberry when she emerges from the back of her house, inviting them in picking up that they wish to discuss something that would likely not be best overheard.
The party quiz
Hilda Thornberry on that night with
Ellyrian Starchaser ,
Cairn Macdui and
Mozdemir trying to see if there is more to Hilda than meets the eye.
All that they seem to pick up is this is an older woman, who clearly is here to mother all and has some minor skill in herbalism and potion making tending to the ill, sick and hurt of
Mareford without malice.
She does tell them all she remembers about
Lyria Duskbane who had a similar relationship to Hilda as she did
Thoran Grimwood. She often came asking for "basic" ingredients in random amounts, then over time more dangerous. Hilda made it clear
Lyria Duskbane thought she had covered her intentions and not thinking Hilda had picked up on these asks. Lyria thought she was better and smarter than anyone else
I think she would have liked you deary... but only because your an elf - Hilda
Gifts from Hilda
When the party had opened up on their intentions to remove
Lyria Duskbane presence from the inn Hilda gave them items to help.
