The words of Tiadora ""Come, my lords, your ship awaits. Try not to burn this one." repeats in your minds until the demon gives you a look that makes you think... We probably should get going

She leads you to the dock of a ramshackle river barge called “Halstyn’s Folly” tied to Lake Tarik’s bank. The captain and the three man crew
of this shallow-bottomed barge are all thoroughly under
Tiadora’s control. They do not seem to notice that you are there and they are certainly no threat.

Tiadora will tolerate no delay. “The master commands you board. You will learn more later.”

Vlad boards and then quickly changes from his full plate to his chain shirt should swimming have to occur again.. He stows his plate in his gear and finds a place to set down.. Once seated he takes out a piece of chalk and draws a crude summoning circle on the ships deck in front of him.. He starts to chant and soon after a loud snap can be heard as a being comes into existence..

Fiendish wings and a whipping scorpion-like tail lash behind this diminutive, red-skinned nuisance. It has a pair a small curved horns jutting from its head and menacing smile on its face..

It speaks in infernal.. "Yes master? You summoned Snagger for an important task yes?" in which Vlad replies in Infernal. "Yes, I want you too stay alert while I take a nap and wake me if something odd should occur.." It scowls but then nods.. Grumbling.. "This is what Snagger is reduced too.. A watch dog for puny mortals.. Hmmph..." It flies up on the side of the ship and vanishes..

It's Perception is +7 if you wish to use him..

Vlad attempts to catch some zzz's..

Btw it is an Imp if any of you wish to roll Know Planes..

"You don't need to repeat it." Argan has been healed, but his body is tired and his hope of finding his armor is vanishing. Not that the job wasn't paying enough, but quite the opposite. They were gaining a lot of money, but somehow he expected to find the freaking suit in Balentyne, a mad errand, really.

After all, he lost it to the milita thousand of miles from here. But their job was done, for now, and the experience was well worth it.

He eyed Vlad and its Imp, finding it to be a very funny scene. "So, my minion, you've got a minion of your own now?"

Tiadora smiles at the little imp and says "You will quarter on the deck with the crew."

She then smiles a big toothy grin as she enters her cabin and closes the door.

The day passes by and the barge meanders its way up the lake and by nightfall the barge lays anchor offshore of a village and within an hour you can see a huge ball of flame off the starboard side of the barge and another 20 minutes later it seems the entire hamlet is aflame and after another fifteen minutes Tiadora appears on deck with a flash of purple smoke, dressed in the garb of a Knight of Alerion but her entire tunic is soaked in blood and covered in grey matter, the edges are also singed.

She then snaps a finger and it then miraculously changes into a bodice more befitting her stature.

Argan's mood is not improving while inside the boat, although he can be fairly useful as a sailor and is pretty much used to the movement of a bot. "What are you up to, Triadora?"


Shot Putter Funkmeister

She looks at Argan and says, "Tiadora, actually, I am reminding the poor souls of Talingarde what hell is like. Do you have a problem with that?" with a glint of hellfire in her eyes and a pleased look of satisfaction on her face.


Loot | HP 40/71 | AC 21 | T 13 | FF 18 | CMD 25 | Fort +7 | Ref +12 | Will +2(+8) | Init +4 | Perc +11 | SM +9

Hey, someone provided us with the wrong name!!

"Yes, I do. I wasn't invited." He looks at the village on fire, and another question comes into mind. "What's the knight of the Alerion disguise for?"


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Tiadora smirks and says, "The master has a very important assignment for you... This, however, is mine."

Tiadora gives one of the largest grins you have ever seen and says, "Subversion, erosion, mass hysteria... such are my missions on this journey, yours is preparation and vigilance. The master shall visit soon."

Kharn sits on the deck continually cleaning, and feeding Sir Reginold. When he has some spare time he poses a question to the others outisde of Tiadora's hearing.

"Do you think the master will be arriving like a normal person, or do you think he will arrive in some tacky flash of smoke and brimstone?"


Loot | HP 40/71 | AC 21 | T 13 | FF 18 | CMD 25 | Fort +7 | Ref +12 | Will +2(+8) | Init +4 | Perc +11 | SM +9

Argan lifts a thumb to the woman. "Good job!"

Later he pretends there really IS an owl called Sir Reginold with them. "He's gaining weight, right Kharn? I think he'll just send some kind of message for us."

Eryan boards the ship without question, other things on his mind. Where they were going now he did not care. We finished our mission. But clearly there is more he wants us to do to cause the Fall. Of course no bugbear army could hope to take more than a few cities or town before resistance forced a larger battle.

"Don't keep me from what I'm good at for too long." Burning the Prison, Balin, Kargeld's ship, Balentyne. Eryan was racking up a list.

Those will be merely the footnotes when this is over...

Seeing the village burning made him smile. The more that suffered the less he did. For now he would wait.

When the tunic of one of the sailors goes up in flames he dives on the deck and rolls around until the flame is put out and wipes his body in water and says, "Tiadora hasn't told us who you are and it is better for all involved that we don't know. Please don't do that again. We are required to help you but not take your abuse. Besides, we aren't children are we?" says the sailor more disappointed than threatening.

Argan gives a mean look to Eryan, being certain that the pyromaniac did this. He could put the boat on fire, one of these days. The rogue tries to make amends for the terrible behavior of his friend companion acquaintance. "A sick joke, from a sick mind. But please nevermind him. I'm sure he will stop that before we have to cut his head off." He smiles, as that was a joke, or wasn't it?

Sense Motive DC 31:
That definitely wasn't a joke, Eryan.

"Now, why don't you tell the tale of how did you come this far north?" Argan begins to gains the men's trust, as he did with Kargeld and his crew, hoping to learn something else, specially about Tiadora, like her powers, behavior and skills.


Shot Putter Funkmeister

The man says, "Well this is where I was born and bred. My father ferried the old kings between Farholde, Ghastenhall and Balentyne...Born in trade I guess. "

Argan is a little uncertain of how much they know about his group, so he would need to learn that in order to be more careful with what they do, specially the pyromaniac. "Nice, nice! And you took over the family business, then? Listen, isn't it dangerous these days with all this mess around the land? Have you heard about what's happening?"

Argan lifts his shoulder, showing he was doing nothing wrong. "Common, we're just having a nice conversation, don't worry!" He turns back to the man and adds in a different language, hoping the woman does not speak it, but the sailors do.

In Norspik: "Sometimes women just go crazy like that, right?"


Shot Putter Funkmeister

The man shrugs and then moves forward.

I will move it forward and we can get Omen's char into the mix. Feel Free to ask Tiadora some questions over the next few days

Twelve nights pass and every night a village, stronghold or some such hovel is set ablaze mercilessly by Tiadora. The barge moves in a westerly direction and on the fifth day you leave the Lake Tarik and onto the river Shift, which also meanders westward and on the tenth day you enter Lake Scardynn.

On the twelfth night, Cardinal Adrastus Thorn finally shows himself. He unexpectedly teleports onto the boat, rocking it back and forth, and is already walking straight to Tiadora’s cabin while the spell is still disipating. Inside, he spends a few moments getting a complete report from his agent. He eventually sends her to summon you, his ninth knot, into the chamber.

"The master is here and commands you attend him," Tiadora says grimly. "He’s in the cabin."

"Do they all scream? Or do some try to be heroes and stop you? " As the days go by he is often seen meditating. Being stuck on a ship without being able to go and join Tiadora in terrorizing the villages is rather boring.

Eryan is woken by Tiadora telling them that Thorn was finally here, instantly he was fully awake. "Enough of this waiting."


Loot | HP 40/71 | AC 21 | T 13 | FF 18 | CMD 25 | Fort +7 | Ref +12 | Will +2(+8) | Init +4 | Perc +11 | SM +9

Indeed finally the man came, and their boredom will hopefully end. At least this was not as long as the previous trip...

Argan knocks on the door twice and, without waiting for a reply, comes in along with the others. "Hey, Thorn, how are you doing?"


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Tiadora sneaks a very toothy grin when answering Eryan, "Not so clever... I come in have the constablary and the watch bring me people and then I burn them at the stake and then I burn many so the King's troops are blamed for the atrocities. The Master's stroke of genius."

Thorn wears black gloves and openly displays his silver unholy symbol of the Lord of Hell. He sports a wicked and knowing grin.
He greets his knot and is quickly to business:
"You shan't be insolent with me. Remember your place" He says being a bit gruff towards Argan.

"First thing is first." he takes his left hand over his forehead and murmurs something and a swirly orange and purple cloud appear further rocking the barge in the water. And then you see a very strange Gnomish woman appear.

"This is Lilpinny Marfedelom. She has a very specific skill set and was just liberated from the dungeon in Ghastenhall. She seemed a perfect edition to my ninth knot."

Lilpinny is a gaunt, pale gnome with wild black hair and slightly sharp teeth. Her lips are a very dark red that always have various splits along them. She wears ragged and torn layers of clothing that are mismatched and have a faint smell of death, and on her head is an oversized lopsided top hot. The end of her cuffs appear stained with blood both fresh and old. Since the party has Vladimir in it, they recognize Lilpinny as a "gnome born" dhampir.

Lilpinny twists her head, looking around and seeing the tall, strong party before her along with Thorn and Tiadora. She puts her hands on her hips like a stubborn child, giving a bit of a pouty look at them. "Too tall, much too tall." After a moment she laughs, the laugh sounding like a little girl who knows she's doing something mischievous. She bounces forward, the top hat wobbling precariously side to side. "Just call me Lil, that should be easy to remember since I'm little!" She giggles, then her eyes fall on Vladimir and she gives a little gasp of surprise. "Ooh, you kinda look like me!"

I guess reinforcements are in short supply right now.

"Miss Lil. I hope you will be able to keep up." Gnomes... Very strange creatures. He had never seen one only heard of the things. Fey ancestry or some such runs in them but this one has also been touched by death. Fey blood and vampire could make an interesting combination. "What are we to be doing next Cardinal. Burning down the capitol?"

Short supply. Ha.

Lil gets a cross look on, walking over to the drow and looking up at him as if trying to be menacing. The creepiness is certainly there, but the thin little gnome is not exactly physically intimidating. Especially standing near the towering forms of Kharn and Vladimir. "Don't you worry about me keeping up you big purple elf thing."

Argan gives the small female a quick look, and although he liked Goodie better the slap in the face of Eryan made the rogue like her. "Well met, I'm Argan. We will have a conversation later, to know what you're capable of and to tell you our abilities. Are you a witch too?"

"That will be all sorts of fun!" She looks excited at Argan's idea, but shakes her head at the witch idea and takes out an old leather book with non-uniform sized pages that looks to have been patched together from dozens of other books. "Ima wizard! But without the wrinkles and beard and bent back, although I made my best effort for a big silly hat." She turns to Vlad on one heel. "I'm the regular kind, how about you? Nosfetatu maybe? Or maybe Moroi, you look strong like they are." She makes a tough face, laughing at how stoic he is. Her silliness may be distracting or even annoying, but her detailed knowledge of a topic brought up suggests how we'll read she is.

Thorn impatiently interrupts, "You'll have plenty of time to get better acquainted after your briefing and my departure."

He then stands tauter and continues "“You
have served me faithfully, my ninth knot, and I have rewarded
you both in treasure and vengeance. Thanks to
your efforts, the Fire-Axe has been unleashed. Even now
he writes his name in blood across the Borderlands.
“Three battles have been fought and three victories won.
The villages of Ambryl and Tarrington Fields lie sacked.
The fortress of Lorringsgate is in ruins. Each of you did
your part in seeing these triumphs come to fruition. Do not
think I have forgotten that.

“But our work is not yet done. Talingarde has not yet
acquiesced to our unholy master nor tasted the full measure
of our vengeance. So I have another mission for you.
Tomorrow this barge will dock in Farholde, the northernmost
town in all the realm. Farholde is a backwater of no
real significance. Its lord has already left the place hoping
for glory in the war. But it does border the Caer Bryr (pronounced
care-briar), the largest unmapped forest on the
entire island.
“Hidden within the Caer Bryr is the Horn of Abaddon,
an ancient temple once occupied by a particularly loathesome
death cult called ‘The Sons of the Pale Horseman’.
Almost eighty years ago the first Darian king, Markadian I
called the Victorious overthrew the Horn and destroyed the
Sons. No great loss, honestly.
“But what the Victor found within the temple is why we
are here. He defeated a daemon prince called Vetra-Kali
Eats-the-Eyes. So terrified of this monstrosity was the king,
that he had the priests of Mitra craft a great silver seal to
forever forbid the daemon from returning to our plane of
existence. The seal remains to this day.
“I have learned the truth about this daemon prince. I
have learned what the Victor feared. Vetra-Kali is an archdeacon
in service to the lord of pestilence. This immortal
monster could create a plague so virulent that it will bring
Talingarde to its knees.
“When the Victor attacked, the Daemon Prince was
close to unleashing his masterpiece upon the world -- a pestilence
known as the Tears of Achlys (pronounced ACKLis).
I am uncertain of the specifics of this plague but if
anything could terror in the heart of the Victor, then I want
it. The Tears of Achlys will be our poisoned dagger into the
heart of Talingarde.
“I already have agents in the great cities of this kingdom.
With this pestilence, they could deliver blight and death to
the very center of the realm. Caught between the twin
storms of the Fire-Axe and Vetra-Kali’s gift, we shall bring
ruin to Talingarde. This gift you shall bring to me.
“It will not be easy. I have already lost one band of followers
on this errand. I sent the fourth knot to find the
Horn of Abaddon. They succeeded at that at least – revealing
to me that it was concealed within a great spire of stone
less than a day’s ride from Farholde.
“But then they vanished. I have heard no more from the
elven ranger Aiden Kael since. He knew the Caer Bryr well
so no normal hazard would defeat him. Perhaps the Horn
of Abaddon is guarded. I cannot say. But it matters not!
The Tears of Achlys must be mine!"

failed, two will succeed. I will also send my seventh knot
– the Knot Hibernal led by Elise Zadaria. I task you with
finding the Horn and calling forth Vetra-Kali. Elise and
her knot will aid you. Elise proved herself a capable assassin
in our last venture. The seventh knot will remain in
Farholde and see that anyone who tries to find the Horn
and interfere with your work meets an unhappy end. Thus,
you will have time to do what must be done.
“There is another who may be able to aid you. Once a
thriving cult of Asmodeus existed in Farholde. It was led
by a half-elvish noble – the Baron Arkov Vandermir. He is
treacherous and decadent, but wealthy and well-connected.
Tiadora will introduce you before she departs.
“I know not what aid the Baron can provide, but his
family is old and long has dwelt in Farholde. Never trust
him but know this – he’s afraid of me and with good reason.
If he does try anything remind him that you are in Farholde
on my behalf. That should keep him in line.
“Find the Horn. Find the seal and shatter it. Call
Vetra-Kali back to our world. Bind him to your will and
force service from the monster. And then bring his gift to
me. Can you do this, my knot? Have I found servants with
might and will enough to see this task done?”

Lilpenny Farholde

Spoiler:
Farholde is the northernmost colony of Talingarde. This
small city is a backwater, largely isolated from its parent
nation by distance and danger. No King of Talingarde
has visited Farholde since the Victor sat
upon the throne. And yet, Farholde is a
keystone of the realm’s defense. Without
control of the delta that feeds into
Lake Scardynn (pronounced SCARden)
there would be no credible defense
of the Borderlands.

Vetra-Kali

Spoiler:
Vetra-Kali is a powerful and ancient leukodaemon,
a harbinger of pestilence and a high servant of the Pale
Horseman.
Markadian I called the Victorious (usually simply the
Victor) was the greatest king in the recent history of Talingarde.
He united the kingdom and raised a dispirited
people from despair and darkness. He reigned for fortysix
years and is still lauded in every corner of the kingdom
for his many great deeds. Some of his heroics are
widely celebrated and well known by every child. Some
are secret and deliberately hidden. The greatest secret of
the Victor’s reign without a doubt is the raid upon the
Horn of Abaddon and the banishment of the daemon
prince Vetra-Kali Eats-the-Eyes.

Shot Putter Funkmeister

Thorn says, "The cult is of no real significance but they were called “The Sons of the Pale Horseman”. The Sons were a thoroughly noxious organization that venerated sickness and disease above all else,
seeking to bring the blessings of plague upon the world.
For centuries, the cult dwelled in secrecy never facing
any serious opposition from the local lords. The deathpriests
were not primarily focused on Talingarde after all.
Their ambitions were wider than that. They used their
hidden stronghold to inflict horrors upon the world. The Victor after destroying all major threats to the kingdom finally concentrated on this cult and killed all of them."
