A Knight's Tale
We start the session by rewinding to deal with Magdalena's journey to this point - from the other convicts sharing her prison wagon she chooses to speak to Olinda (once bar manager at The Templars’ Arms), who explains that she is indeed in cahoots with Nordland separatists and reveals what happened with Renata. Nobbler the halfling tells her that the Graf had a fit on grunsnacht and Reinart that the corpse of Lady Hirsch had the tattoo of a high class prostitute on the inside of her thigh.
Norgrim leaves the village to tell Farfordda the latest then Farfordda rides a few miles south from Hohenfart and tries learning Sleep, but fails. He also consults the Tarot; is Father Bach still alive? no.
The dwarves hang around the village - we make a roll to see what the village think of the Magdalena sitch - its very positive, Chaplain Lader (the priest) is clearly doing his job well. Wanda warns Thindra that Magdalena may be dangerous, apparently she was involved in some plot against the Graf.
Late in the afternoon a recruiting sergeant shows up and the Inn fills with people to drink the free beer, the dwarves don't show much interest - the locals point him in the direction of the Teutogen Brotherhood Temple.
The following day (22nd Vorgeheim) Farfordda spends at the same location and this time is successful. Chaplain Lader makes his health check and is sure that Magdalena should break the back of the disease and be ready to travel tomorrow. Again we get favourable rolls for the village attitude to Magdalena.
Magdalena in her moments of lucidity tells Chaplain Lader she is a knight of Myrmidia, that she was framed after informing the Graf's chief investigator about a cult in Middenheim - the Purple Hand, he has not heard of them - several good rolls do incline him to at least be sympathetic to her plight, he is willing to consider that she is a political prisoner.
Late afternoon a posse of Roadwardens ride in with the Bounty Hunter they previously saw at the Fox & Crown. The captain speaks with Amos when he hears about Magdalena saying they will ride with them to Lindenheim tomorrow - they are travelling there to get Heinz Greber whom Lars the Bounty Hunter caught. In chat with them the dwarves hear about the inauguration of the new Ar-Ulric and the mutant stoning.
Its starts to rain - heavily.
Just after 8 Farfordda drops over the fence into the village - Amos at the tents explains to him the situation with the Road Wardens (Thindra is sleeping in the common room as she has the middle guard shift). Meanwhile Norgrim is on guard duty and sees a rider enter the Inn compound, as he shakes the rain from his hat to enter the Inn he sees that it is Gauis! He rushes to the tent to tell Amos (and Farfordda)... it is 8:20pm Vorgeheim 22nd and raining heavily...
