S5E1 tHR- Where Oh Where is Gotthard

Image
From the Beginning:   https://rigglewwh.blogspot.com/2021/06/s0e1-introductions.html PCs : Agnes (Duane), Katja (Geoff), Brandywyn retired and replaced by the White Wizard Venegrall (Tony), Rega (Bill), Gary (Matt), Ymath (Brian) ‘ KITUM ’: Kommission for Inquiries into Threats Unknown to Middenheim . With half-priced merchandise purchased from vendors closing tents after the festival, Brandi set up his own local and wagon caravan trade with Altdorf to supplement his barge trade. As for the others: Days to heal up after encountering the Pink and Blue Horrors during the raid on the Purple-Hands’ safehouse. Days that kept Agnes busy at the Shallya temple treating the influx of peasants suffering from the ‘itching pox’. Once it reached ‘blood-rot’, it was fatal. More and more official (and unofficial) rat-catchers on the streets now tasked to catch cats proposed at the source of the plague. Protesters outside the care facilities claiming the plague a hoax. Are they wearing that sca

S4E13 PBtT- Finally Time to Enjoy the Carnival

Image
PCs : Agnes (Duane), Katja (Geoff), Brandywyn (Tony), Rega (Bill), Gary (Matt), Ymath (Brian) As reward for thwarting Law Lord Karl-Heinz Wasmeier , the group was given his estate. They wasted little time moving in. And Gary wasted little time searching for the man’s safe, where he found almost 500 gold in coin and jewelry. As a castle bookkeeper gathered the Law Lord’s person records, he mused at a few entries. “He seemed fixated on someone called Kastor Lieberung. Pissed that he didn’t deliver some kind of inheritance from Boganhafen.” Gary asked for a copy. Carnival Day 4 : The last morning for the Graf’s Champion challenge! Still suffering beatdown from the Minotaur fight, Rega spent most of the day healing at the Shallya Temple per Agnes’ offer. Enroute to the Court-of-Martials (for the challenge), Ymath made his daily trek to the halfling bakery and learned his companion, Dumpling Hayfoot, was engaged to be married. “Invite your friends; in 2 weeks. That will give me time to

S4E12PBtT- Unraveling Threads

Image
PCs : Agnes (Duane), Katja (Geoff), Brandywyn (Tony), Rega (Bill), Gary (Matt), Ymath (Brian) Breakin : Dwarfs posted along the street to keep riffraff and guttersnipes away as they broke into the scorched home in the seedier Ostwald district. A few picked locks and they were inside the house, abandoned per signs of fire months old. Until Ymath found the trapdoor. Ogre oaf tried to open it while he stood on it. No caution… he moved and opened it, breaking the internal string that held the cans. Now a clattering alarm as they crashed to the basement floor. They entered with caution, confronting a woman blathering, “This is private property.” Gary interpreted her words as spell incantations and fired. Cornered, with few minions to call forth, it was fast work to secure the house. And Gary got the opportunity to blow another wizard away. Some gold for their efforts. The green-eyed woman’s room included various colored wigs and clothing to support her various personas: be it Frau Kennar, t

S4E11 PBtT- FINALLY, The Garden Party

Image
PCs : Agnes (Duane), Katja (Geoff), Brandywyn (Tony), Rega (Bill), Gary (Matt) Garden Party : Late getting there, as coming from Rega’s loss in the Minotaur ring.      Graf Todbringer was on the royal dais along with his baron son Stefan while princess Katarina’s seat was empty. Almost all of the courtly nobles and military staff were present. After quick intro to the High Wizard Albrecht, Agnes’ Orphan’s joined the processional walk/greet past the Graf. The Graf’s aid dismissed Albrecht’s attempt to converse, “Not today. Move along.” Wouldn’t have mattered as the Graf seemed distracted (his mind elsewhere). “He’s been that way since his wife died, even if that was 4 months ago.” Gotthard arrived late, pestered by another dwarf at his heels about the taxes. Guards intervened. Rega sought him out. The others re-engaged with the other nobles and potential suspects inviting them to the Templar’s Arm Tavern afterwards where they had coordinated with Dieter. Agne

S4E10 PBtT- Family Passwords

Image
PCs : Agnes (Duane), Katja (Geoff), Brandywyn (Tony), Rega (Bill), Ymath (Brian) Rats’ Nest : Still in the sewers hearing chanting and screams. They move forward, checking side chambers. Curtain hides a statue to The Horned Rat, another chamber empty except for pegs holding one remaining white-robe with blood stains.  And a side tunnel too narrow for human… but wide enough for skaven! Rega and Brandi set a bomb-trap between the 2 chambers before the group moves forward towards the chanting. A rope bridge just at the edge of Ymath’s lantern. Light that betrays their presence and invites a volley of arrows. Ymath storms across the rope-bridge that strains at his weight… the support posts groan but hold. But the huge ogre blocks the path for others. Thus, HE faces skaven blasts from warpstone-guns! Rega readies a bomb to hand to the brute but Gary next across foils that idea. [Besides, it would have been Ymath’s Range(Engineer) which he doesn’t have.] As if 2-
