Session 4

by Twinkle the Clown

Otto Wickten, head of the family in charge of distillery
Holding speeches in the town square, anti-hasglayer
Religious
Consel Wickten, fucking priest Diedrich
Rumours heard from Ms. Bell
 
Wild Owen is nervous about Jolly Baddock
He seems tense, a bit on edge
 
Kiggan, trusted security member of the circus standing close to a group of Hagslayers
About 5, with Raniero.
Raniero slams the guy who shouts 'Wretch' after Murk's performance
 
 
The tingling got more extreme as I shook his hand.
When Raniero stepped into the tent at the end, the same humming (faint) was felt in the air
 
Raniero wanted to talk abt the circus and Madam Juno
Eager to know when Madam was coming back
How capable our guards are
Try to find out what Raniero wants
What he wants with the Madam
 
Pink Orchid flower, relaxing effect when smoking
Smoked in the second floor of the Riverboat
 
The Adventurers aren't actually from Yeffield, just heard the Red Ruins hadn't been fully looted yet. Only been around for a couple months.
"They're like any ruins"
Mostly spirits, some ichor - fiends (zombie-like creatures, people who have gone mad from ichor usage)
Mages will buy spirits
Anything with Ichor will sell
Adventurers might head to Lumeport to sell, better business there
Occasional wretch, handful of living plants (maybe Fey creations)
Spirits can be warded off with maddened items
Ruins haven't been good for the adventurers recently. There hasn't been much in them lately, spirits been drying up, the missing people dont reappear
Couple adventuring parties ended up just joining the Fishermen.
Some undead skeletal figures, the Verve inside them seem to disappear when killed. A bit more intellectual than most fiends there.
Lumosek (very Greywoot name), apparently he ventured too into the ruins. Only one to survive from a 7 man party. Bit off in the head. Went far into the ruins. Huge Ichor beastial arm.
Adventurers going on another run in a couple days.
Townsfolk talking abt fights, rumour about the circus fighting with the Hagslayers.
 
Kettlin, silvered hands:
Part of the trainees in Greywood. "Wasn't for her". Wasn't allowed to leave with her knowledge. Greywood recruit "way too young".
 
Lubosek
Whatever's deeper in the Ruins, stay out
In fact just get out of town.
Leaving town tomorrow for Lumeport
Think the Hagslayers do fuck all
If anything comes too close to town, they supposedly take care of it.
 
Cecilia opinions
Understand the necessity of employing the Hagslayers to help with the wretch.
Otto might be a better fit according to some, someone more pious.
 
Raniero rumours from the Riverboat
Outside talk with tall and broad aventurer Elma, bloodshot left eye (ichor?)
Not seen Raniero ever fight, apparently he's not around much.
Hagslayer took insult about mean talk abt Raniero
He disappears for abt a week at a time.
- Going with the church?
- Taking a boat heading north to the ruins?
- Nothing within a week's travel time north
Otto Wickten is definitely rich
Cheating rumour spread by the Hagslayers possibly?
 
There is a snake in this town, trust not the one who's love is false
Stork from Krag's dream
 
Mister Varban, 'Old Varban', Adventurer/Mage figure
Been taking a look at the ruins
 
Jolly Baddock has seemed tense lately. Especially after shouting at the security person. Seemed shaken after opening the circus last night.
