And of course, poor, doomed Tenpenny. Tenpenny who doesn't bear the Mantle. Tenpenny who will surely not survive the defenses of the Hut. I imagine that tomorrow afternoon the party will have another reason to hate the Hag Queen.
Are the players ready? The stage set? Give a seat by the fire and lets begin catching up with the Reign of Winter.
Not long into the second day’s journey, two unnatural groupings of ravens spotted and approached the group to attack. Sven and So’Nej engaged the birds with swinging swords and shields, Shamat flurried arrows, McManus cast a sonic burst, and Zevus lit them up with a charge from his color spray wand. When the first group of ravens was killed, the second disengaged and fled. During the melee, So’Nej was wounded by the birds and wasn’t doing too well after the melee ended. It was determined that the Ring of Regeneration he had obtained from the witch’s tower was in fact cursed and was actually preventing him being healed. While McManus and Zevus tried to find a way to remove the ring, So’Nej cursed Nazhena and vowed not to wear a ring again.
During the night, So’Nej caught sight of a small, blue, bat-like fae sneaking into the camp towards their food supplies. He quickly alerted the others as he ran one of the creatures through with his cold iron sword. McManus, Tenpenny, and Zevus awoke and tried to hit the creatures but missed. So’Nej skewered another and Sven backhanded one with his shield. Soon enough, all five of the creatures were killed. So’Nej looked at the bodies and determined they were some sort of gremlin. Nadya said these particular fae would often extort farmers or spoil food. While they talked, Sven arranged the little fae heads on his shield.
The next day (three), was relatively pleasant and not too cold. As they traveled through the woods, they spied a small wooden cabin with a tendril of smoke coming from the chimney. As they approached the cabin, they saw a beautiful red haired woman come out the front door. She greeted them and introduced herself as Sylgja and immediately asked for their help. She said her husband Fingarth was attacked by a troll and taken back to his cave which was not too far away. As the companions paused to consider her predicament, Sylgia could sense they were skeptical of her. She told them she was a Huldra (a fox type fae whose natural enemies were trolls) but was not powerful enough to rescue her husband on her own. They considered her story and her motives and decided to help. Tenpenny, Nadya and her children would stay at the cabin and Sylgia would lead them to where her husband had been ambushed.
So’Nej quickly found a set of tracks leading from the spot, but they appeared human. They followed the tracks a short distance to a nearby cave and approached it cautiously. So’Nej could smell a human inside, and a thick mossy scent, but no troll. Suddenly, So’Nej was hit with a small rock that burst into spores. His vision blurred for a second but he shrugged off the effects of the spores and warned the others to stay back. Sven, rushed into the cave (I’m sensing a theme here) yelling a Nordic battle cry that was followed by dead silence. They waited for a moment but nothing followed. So’Nej moved to a position better to see inside the cave and observed that Sven was now covered in spores and standing next to another human (presumably Fingarth). McManus and So’Nej deduce that the spores have robbed Sven and Fingarth of their sense of self and they are no longer in control of themselves. Sven abruptly charged out and knocks Zevus backwards and they could see that in addition to being covered in spores, Sven had a big green thing on his head. Shamat shot her arrows to distract Sven while Zevus got up. So’Nej wet a piece of cloth to cover his nose and mouth with to hopefully reduce the effectiveness of the spores. Zevus blocked the cave entrance with ice stalagmites from his wand and So’Nej tackled Sven and was able to fling the green thing off of his head and break the creatures’ domination of Sven.
Fingarth managed to get around the ice stalagmites blocking the cave entrance and rushed Sven and So’Nej but he was tripped by McManus. They respond by attacking the spore creature on his head and Sven successfully knocked it off. McManus and Zevus faced off against the other spore creature and managed to keep it at bay. Shamat made good use of her bow and helped keep the spore creatures on the defensive. So’Nej, Sven, and a newly freed Fingarth attacked and drove one of the spore creatures against the hillside. McManus used his spear to fling the other spore creature next to it and Zevus quickly stepped up and applied a liberal dose of Burning Hands to end the threat of the spore creatures.
After returning to the cabin, Sylgia and Fingarth rewarded the companions for helping them. Sylgia blessed Sven with a luck spell and was able to remove the cursed ring from So’Nej. Fingarth presented So’Nej with a magical bear trap. They stayed the night and left early the next day.
About mid-day on the fourth day of travel, the skies cleared and the air warmed. Nadya and her children became excited and ran up to the next hill where they found a three mile stretch of grassland with no snow and a stream of melted snow running through it. She called it a Summer Pocked and explained they are made by rebellious, rogue druids trying to alleviate the perpetual winter. She explained they are rare occurrences and do not last very long so it’s best to travel through them and enjoy them while they can.
As they came to the middle of the summer pocket, they saw a mighty stag fighting two wargs. Sven chargeed forward (big shock there) and Shamat rained arrows on the wargs. So’Nej tried to calm the stag but it ran off as Sven hacked deeply into the wargs and ended their lives quickly. So’Nej skinned the wargs and preserved their hides for future trade while the rest of the party relaxed in the summer pocket and washed in the stream. They decided to camp on the edge of the summer pocket for the night and will leave early the next morning.
The next afternoon, they saw a patrol of seven human falconers dressed in Irriselli military uniforms across a clearing. The falconers spotted the group and fanned out. They launched a volley of arrows and were puzzled when all the arrows sank into Sven’s shield. Again the arrows fly across the clearing only to imbed themselves into the shield. Sven charged (again) across the field towards the patrol as they sent their falcons to attack the group. In response, McManus summoned four astral eagles to help defend them. So’Nej commanded HeghchIS and Dutlth’qa to guard the children and returned fire with his bow to much greater effect. Zevus cast Mage Armor on HeghchIS and then cast invisibility on Tenpenny who immediately took off after Sven as the falcons and hawks clash overhead.
Shamat joined So’Nej and flurried arrows across the meadow at the falconers as Sven closed into melee combat range. Tenpenny was not far behind and soon flanked Sven’s opponent, discarding her invisibility with a swift and deadly dagger strike. McManus summoned a spiritual weapon to aid his eagles as they kept the falcons busy. Suddenly, the main group was attacked from behind by a large winter wolf with one blue eye and one brown eye. HeghchIS, the children, and Nadya were wounded and the children slid off of HeghchIS and joined their mother behind the bear. Nadya killed a falcon with an arrow and Shamat flurried arrows into the new threat behind her. So’Nej dropped his bow, drew his sword, hacking into the winter wolf and wounding it seriously. HeghchIS joined him and landed two claws and a bite attack. Shamat finished off the winter wolf with another flurry of arrows. McManus radiated healing energy to the group to address their wounds.
Zevus moveed to a defensive position where he could protect the children as So’Nej mounted HeghchIS and charged across the field to where Sven and Tenpenny were taking down falconers left and right. Shamat resumed volleying arrows at the Falconers and McManus’s eagles and spiritual weapon finished off the falcons. So’Nej directed HeghchIS towards one of the last falconers standing and quickly remedied that by bowling him over and pinning him to the ground just as Sven killed the last falconer.
They ended up with two prisoners (Tenpenny knocked one of the others unconscious) to interrogate, both of which quickly spill the proverbial beans. They were a patrol from Whitethrone headed for Waldsby and were led by the winter wolf Norgrimm. They were tasked with keeping the order of the White Witches with all they came across and were specifically seeking rebels and adventurers. They were due back in Whitethrone in 15 days’ time.
While McManus and Sven handled the interrogation, So’Nej skinned Norgrimm. Nadya advised him they could turn the pelt into a “Rime Pelt” with special properties that could help them in their quest. They gathered up the patrol’s weapons and supplies and managed to piece together four serviceable uniforms that were not too damaged. So’Nej addressed the two prisoners and informed them he could track them wherever they were and that if he laid eyes upon them again that he would kill them. He suggested they continued on to Waldsby and then beyond. They quickly left.
Towards the end of the sixth day of travel, they approached the ruins of a small village. The chapel appeared to be the only standing building left, but just barely that as it was heavily damaged with some of the exterior walls having fallen away allowing access to the inside. The chapel was marked with the sigil of the Desna, the God of wanderers and travelers. The chapel had a low wall surrounding it and a small adjacent graveyard marked with numerous headstones scattered around. As they approached the wall, they could see three priestly figures standing in the chapel yard. “Just play in the yard children”, one said to thin air. As the group passed through the gate into the chapel yard, they heard the wailing of screaming children and the priests ahead of them now appeared as blasphemous undead priests, condemned to haunt the chapel yard. Now much closer to the chapel, they heard the sounds of a horrific event that occurred long ago. It appeared that the priests had given up the children at the chapel to the White Witches’ trolls and ice giants and they had been cursed ever since. Suddenly, ten skeletons emerged from the snow in the chapel yard at the group’s feet and they attacked. Four more skeletons appeared on the second floor of the exposed chapel and they began firing arrows as they grinned at their prey. The priests shrieked “Why won’t you leave us alone! We gave you all the children already!” as they turned to attack and the melee ensued.
Zevus blasted three skeletons with the ever useful Burning Hands spell as Shamat kicked a skeleton next to her. McManus channeled positive energy from the bosom of his Goddess which sent the nearby skeletons reeling, and Sven smashed two skeletons with sword and shield. Knowing his sword would do less damage to the skeletal undead, So’Nej stepped up and pried up a long board from the chapel’s porch with his bare hands. The undead archers volleyed into the group as the skeletons flailed at them. The undead priests turned toward them and shambled forward. McManus prayed to his Goddess again and consecrated the ground around him to hamper the progress of the undead while Tenpenny slashed at a skeleton with a surprising hit. Shamat continued her melee while Zevus used his wand to summon more ice stalagmites under the advancing skeletons. Sven hacked and smashed one of the undead priests and destroyed it. HengchIS took down another skeleton and as So’Nej smacked a priest on the back with his improvised weapon to get its attention away from McManus; he directed Dutlhe’qa to the skeleton archers. Dutlhe’qa flew fast and true and snagged one of the undead archers bow from its boney grasp.
The skeletons advanced slowly and continued to flail at the living while the three remaining undead archers continued to volley more arrows. Shamat flurried arrows at the priest next to McManus and finished it off and McManus channeled positive energy again destroying the last priest and hampering more skeletons. As HengchIS finished off another skeleton, So’Nej used him to get a boost up to the exposed second story of the chapel, where upon his arrival, he smacked one of the skeleton archers solidly. Zevus continued to use his wand to create more ice stalagmites under skeletons and threw in an occasional Burning Hands for good measure, Shamat kicked and flurried arrows at skeletons, and Sven took a flying acrobatic leap at one of the skeletal archers, knocking it backwards with his shield through a hole in the wall behind it where it shattered into dust. Soon, the melee was over with all the skeletons and priests destroyed.
Everyone (except Nadya and the children who had stayed outside the chapel wall) was wounded and exhausted from the fight so it was decided they would camp at the chapel and recuperate as it was the best defendable position in the area and McManus was already working on purging the evil from the chapel grounds. Shamat climbed up to the top of the chapel to stand first watch and when she stepped into the belfry, she heard the sobs of a child and felt something tugging at her throat. She looked down and saw the small shape of a child outlined on the floor with little bits of junk and a rat skull for the head. The apparition jumped up and attacked her and she deftly kicked it out of the belfry and it fell several stories to the permafrost below. Everyone ran to the back of the building and saw the Attic Whisperer scurry back up the stairs towards the belfry. They all scrambled to corner it and Zevus hit it with a Burning Hands spell and So’Nej pinned it to the wall with an arrow, killing it.
While McManus consecrated the belfry, he found some pages of a journal that gave insight into what had happened at the chapel so long ago. The villagers all brought their children to the chapel for the priests to watch over while they went in search of help. When Baba Yaga’s army arrived at the village, the priest went mad and surrendered the children to the trolls and ice giants in hopes of saving themselves. Their blasphemous actions resulted in their being cursed to haunt the chapel. With the area now secure, they settled in for the night.
On their seventh day of travel, they encountered a bridge that had three trolls guarding it who were demanding “papers” for safe passage across it. McManus took one of the badges they had liberated from the falconer patrol a few days ago and used it to bluff his way across the bridge claiming he was on an urgent mission for the White Witches and demanded to let him and his party pass. The ruse worked and they all crossed quickly and safely, saving them much time on their journey.
The next afternoon, they saw the city of Whitethrone sitting high on a nearby cliff with a fishing village on the glacier lake below it. This was where they would find Nadya’s uncle Ringeirr and the Iron Guard of Whitethrone would be less likely to be patrolling the lake town. As they entered and moved through the village, the smell of both fresh and rotting fish was pungent and almost overpowering. The people here only spoke Skald so it was up to Nadya and Sven to acquire information. Only after much questioning and some intimidation by Sven, they discovered from the reluctant villagers that Ringeirr had recently been arrested by the fish camp guard (which wasn’t more than a lowly gang of thugs that claimed control of the fish camp). Shortly after that, Sven spied a gang of fish camp thugs that had surrounded a fisherman and were harassing him for “protection” money. Sven strode up to them and backhanded one of them with his shield, knocking him instantly unconscious. The rest immediately surrendered and the brief interrogation that followed yielded the location where they gang was holding Ringeirr captive.
Upon reaching the gang’s guardhouse, they saw there were three fish gang members guarding him, two ogres (Whunk and Borger) and a humanoid (Marcian Enorxion). Just before they approached the guard house, Zevus cast Enlarge Person on So’Nej and Sven drank a potion of the same. McManus channeled his Goddess’s blessings upon them. Sven and So’Nej, now giant, stomped up to the door and kicked it in. An ogre (whunk) stepped out and charged them both, but he didn’t get far as Sven and So’Nej took the opportunity to hack him to death as he approached while Shamat landed a flurry of arrows. The other ogre decided to go toe to toe with Sven as So’Nej stooped and moved inside the building, receiving a painful hit from the humanoid. It is his last however as So’Nej cleaved him and he staggered backwards. He was dead before he hit the floor and Sven finished off the other ogre (Borger) who collapsed into a heap of smelly flesh. McManus healed his wounded companions as Tenpenny quickly released Ringeirr from his small cell. Not wanting to attract any further attention, they quickly left the scene, disappearing into the alleyways of the fish town.
When they were safely inside Ringeirr’s home, they rested and told him of their journey and their mission to kill the White Witches. Ringeirr informed them he knew someone that could help them. He was recently approached by the resistance (apparently there are others that do not approve of what the White Witch Razhena is doing) and he was confident he could sneak them inside the walls of Whitethrone and get them to one of the resistance’s underground meeting places.
With their long travel to Whitethrone finally complete, the companions got some well-deserved rest in Ringeirr’s home. Not too much rest though, for they would sneak into the heavily guarded city the next day.
Liking these, keep up the good work.
I hope that I can get an update in soon, but with Comicon on the horizon and at least one other game to write up, my chronicler has been busy in the last few months.
We did just finish part one of "Maiden, Mother, Crone" and the main quote of the evening has got to be "Baba Yaga... gods, what a piece of work that one is."
