Letter to the guild, received Duesday 1 Fruit 826
To the adventuring heroes of the Seagate Guild of Adventures
I seek your services in a matter of injustice. Without your aid, my innocent son will be hung on the last Reapsday before Harvest by our lord.
I enclose 5 shillings to engage your services. Please come with all haste to save his life.
Yours sincerely, John Herder.
Merino Station, Thropshire, Ranke.
Scribed and witnessed by Alan Talespinner, registered Troubadour.
D'Artagnan: "That doesn't seem right!"
Zardoz: "Yes, totally wrong... it's hanged not hung."
D'Artagnan: "Zardoz!?"

Scribe Notes

Session 1

Duesday 1st of Fruit

We arrive at what Zardoz deems a B-grade meeting room around midday for the general briefing on our employment, as outlined in the letter above.

The Astrology readings indicate that there is no demonic influence or major powers involved, but it may not necessarily be a simple issue.

After some questioning and research, we learn some history about Ranke and that the person responsible for Jordie's hanging is Sir Fulch Fitzwarren, a knight of Thropshire and of minor nobility. He married well above his standing to a lady of very good family in Bowcourt.

Our Troubadours recall that in this area, other troubadours are pushed to guilds and organizations, and those not in said groups are denied work and forced out of service. They deduce that the scribe who wrote to us (Alan Talespinner) is part of a local guild. Mavric also recalls watching a play of his and informs us he is very charismatic.

To add to that, Peter recalls from his tailoring work that Merino Station may be referring to Merino wool, which is more commonly considered Elven wool.

Dart feels his pocket and finds a note with the following: "My services are available if you need a scapegoat - ask around about a goat guy on temple street." -Adventuring Patron. According to Zardoz, the note is in Dart's handwriting but we figure if it is important and this goat guy is persistent he will contact again so for now, disregard it.

Before we leave, we stock up on potions and Lyric very kindly offered myself and Mavric her Greater Enchantment services at material cost only.

After much deliberating, we travel by cloud to avoid bandits on land, pirates at sea and move much quicker, as time is of the essence. In theory, it should only take us 4 hours to get there. Because that would be far too easy, our navigator Zardoz, mistakenly takes us too far, but we land and are advised to go East. Another hour or so goes by on cloud and we touch down outside a larger city which has unnatural winds pushing its fumes outwards.

This city turns out to be Alcazar, and a local "Lord" U (Ubiqunoname) approaches on horseback, and advises us to head South-West to get there. He wasn't very fond of Gnash, something about dumb orcs.

We finally land in late afternoon and Quentin randomly picked a hamlet out of six for us to land in. This turns out to be Abcott. We find a pub and speak to the Reeve and barkeep, Leon, who tells us to pitch a tent, and order drinks. A couple pints down and we already have our band of Gnash, Peter, Mavric and Dart on their assorted instruments entertaining the crowd.

W'ansday 2nd of Fruit

In the morning before we leave for Clun, Peter wanders around helping out where he can, to boost the image of church knights in the area. We get more precise directions and walk for half a day through the wholesome hamlet into the small town of Clun
