S3E13: Death on the Reik – The Inner Bailey

Image
Recap : Brandiwyn slowed by a major wound, only Hilda and 2 outlawmen left, and a dwindling supply of Mallorhan’s arrows. At least enough crossbows and bolts left by the soldiers to resupply Katja. “Surely the alarm has been sounded. We best hurry. No telling what else roams the castle grounds.” “What?” Rega slapped his ears, still ringing from his bomb blast inside the church. Rega  (Bill) dwarf Investigator Brandiwyn  (Tony) RiverWarden Mallorhan (Brian) wood-elf Messenger …absent Gary  (Matt) Warrior/Cavalryman Sister Agnes  (Duane) noble, Warrior Priestess of Shallya Katja  (Geoff) noble, Entertainer/Bounty Hunter   On edge : They crept along the stone bridge ever wary of archers surely prepared behind the walls of the [1] guard tower between the castle baileys. Chains implied a drawbridge which encouraged them to rush the tower before it could be raised. Maybe the heavier rain and lightn

S3E12: Death on the Reik – The Castle's Outer Bailey

Recap : The villager numbers thinned by the soldiers and beastmen attack in the woods. Then more lost to a monster within the cave. Sigrid and Hilda only have 8 other outlaws left to aid Agnes’ Orphans on their assault of the castle. They huddle within a dilapidated storage building within the outer bailey of the castle, peering outside where dozens of missing villagers (now mutants) amble around in the mud of the now falling rain.

Recap : So, the rebuilt signal tower once was Dagmar’s observatory. Where Agnes’ Orphans used the 6 keys to open a wizards’ den in its basalt basement, where they found research books and his journal that explained his actions. Such as taking the warpstone meteorite downriver (in a lead-lined box) to his Castle Wittgenstein. Where he stored it in a magically-reinforced chamber. Safe and secure. Till 2 years ago when chaos befell the surrounding area. An analysis of the Wittgendorf ghoul doctor vial proved to be pure warpstone dust! Someone, Lady Margritte perhaps, must have opened the chamber and began experiments on the neighboring villagers. Thankfully, Dagmar’s journal included the password needed to open the secret door to the castle. Over a month since they’d last been there. They sail back to Wittgendorf to coordinate with Hilda’s father and allied villagers ready and willing to storm the castle to end their misery and hopefully restore their home and lives.
