Ranke Silverstream

Session 1

Travelling to Silverstream

We are hired to go check up on / find some witches who might be missing around Silverstream. There is speculation about a certain guild member who has been looking for witches being responsible for this, as the possibly missing witches do not belong to the guild.
We discuss pay, which is somewhat lacking in raw coinage, making our expenses tight. Something about 8000sp worth of amulets and potential loot.
Introductions are made, where people discuss what they can do after the employer leaves. I assume some of these things are also kept secret or not explicitly discussed as they don't need mentioning. After the meeting we went questing for Greaters and other supplies.

2nd Fruit
The day dawns suspiciously fine, and we get everyone down to the docks on time. We get led by Haggity to a Caraval called Cry of the Serpent. It's a very unsuspicious name. The ship is basically a ferry that runs between Seagate and Dar and maybe onwards to Sanctuary. It'll take a day to get to Dar so there is no in-ship accommodation but they do serve breakfast and lunch.
We met the first mate, Theo Docherty and discover that the Captain is a water mage called Samuel Ramsey. For some reason, the rest of the passengers were rather wary of us, probably because we were carrying a lot of weapons and we had to promise to keep them sheathed unless the the ship was attacked. Some of us thought that was not our problem but a few disagreed, stating it was our job to protect people.
We clarify that there are at least six places we need to visit. Shepperton-Ashwick (Henry Stepford (Male)), Hunstanton (Edith Carver), Avonhithe (Mirovella), Dottery (Petunia), Castle Carlow (None, Baron's Contact Captain Pevensy), Grafcombe (Hardy Weatherwick), Windermere (Waverly Wot (Male), Pip (Apprentice)). [New Hope (formerly High Loggerim)? Casterford?]. Haggity is coming with us the whole time and will handle the locating using a special witchfinding wand, which only had a range of one mile, that had been crafted by Granny. Our job was to make sure she stayed safe, extricate the other witches from whatever predicament they were in, and see them safe.
We also find out about our employers. Granny is elderly and she sounds scary as she knows stuff, stuff you wouldn't think she knows. Fanny on the other hand is a more motherly type woman who has published cookbooks. And it appears the youngest of the three, Margaret, is Haggity's aunt. The cottage has a front door that opens up in Silverstream and a back door that opens in a small village named Woody Hollow. Presumably it helps Granny keep an eye on local politics.
We arrive in Dar that evening and stay in the Barge Inn. Watches were maintained during the night but nothing unusual happened.

3rd Fruit
We run our way to Silverstream following the barge trail which led around Lake Darwent, following the river. On the way....

Session 2

... we are attacked as we reach a small stream crossing, after departing from the barge trail. Angus let Argus borrow his dwarven waraxe as Argus didn't have a decent weapon. Initially, two Orcs open up with Giant Composite bows, with another four Orcs hiding in the bushes as well. Angus and Vargr charged up to the bowmen in order to take them out. Four more orcs, including their leader, who was wielding a rather nice sword, emerged from the trees. Traps of trip stones had been left on the bridge to slow us down but Vargr was able to 'teleport' behind the archers. Unfortunately he ended up being surrounded by those six and a brutal fight ensues, with Vargr being knocked unconscious at one point. Angus laid in with his claymore but that proved less effective than expected. Kurt, Eydis and Haggitty cast spells, while Uthgard was firing arrows, and Argus did some sort of charge attack with the help of a golem pig. It looked rather grim for a while but eventually, we prevailed.

Session 3

We get to Silverstream and meet with the three head witches (Granny, Fanny, Magritte) and get the rest of the witches' names (See session one notes), but they don't know anything else, having not even sent messengers to see what is going on.
