S6E6 EIR- A Boatful of Bull

Only Katja, Agnes and Gary at session. Emmanulle introduced characters to Maria-Luise, the Emperor's lover. She took the characters to meet the emperor who is ill with Purple Brain Fever (an incurable disease) he contracted after meeting with Gideon (who he thought was an orphan). Quintas gave them clues that Sigmar took Ghal-Maraz south to the Black Fire Pass and was not seen with it again. He turned off of the path near the 3 mothers monument . Met with Crown Prince who is going to be the regent while the Emperor is ill. The characters got a boat and headed south on the river Reik. Rumors of the Emperor being ill are spreading. At the town of Diesdorff, just north of Kemperbad, they were enjoying a pint when a cripple entered and revealed he was a bird-headed-mutant. He offered a parlay to the town from the Red Crown (the town doesn't have a militia as they were pressed into service to fight the orcs in the east; thanks Gary). Gary shot the mutant and Agnes finished

S6E5 EIR- The Wedding Started Off With a Bang PCs : Sister Agnes (Duane), elf Mor (Bill), Cavalryman Gary (Matt), wizard Venegral (Tony), Katja (Geoff), ogre Ymath (Brian) Wedding Preparations : Agnes, bridesmaid, aided and reassured Katarina anxious for the coming wedding.

Even Ymath took time to patch his own fancy clothing since he couldn’t afford new. Gary escorted Mor in search of Elvyra (the personal physician to Volkmar) in hopes she knew something about the emperor’s care. Gary still disbelieved the elf’s claim the emperor at the parade false, “He agreed with my tactics. You saw the soldiers this morning marching east towards the goblin threat instead of north to deal with the rebel Nordlander threat to Middenheim.” They spent most of the day tracking her down, finding her at a pharmacy getting potions and herbs for “Dr. Kapenmueller treating the emperor f

PCs : Sister Agnes (Duane), elf Mor (Bill), Cavalryman Gary (Matt), wizard Venegral (Tony), ogre Ymath (Brian) Castle Reikguard : Venegral silently pondered the cloistered training the Emperor's nephew, Crown Prince Wolfgang Holswig-Abenhauer , had received. The prince VERY open-minded on political and social views: The plight of the common man, the status of women’s rights, citizen input on rules and decrees. Yet clueless about the Chaos threat to the realm. A search of the library confirmed it void on the subject of Chaos. Knowledge being withheld from the prince, being trained with blinders on! A threat spelled out by Quintius Fassbinder who talked about “the 9 eyes and the followers of Tzeentch who want to bring forth the Champion-in-Shadows who in turn will bring about the End-of-Time.” Concerns heightened when one of the prince’s tutors let slip, “His 9 tutors have opened his eyes.” And more concern when a search of Kathe Ruttman’s room uncovered a loose page inside on

An interlude game as some "The Enemy Within" players vacationing... Erich Massenbach (Brian) , human Artist. Son of a wealthy merchant from Tahme. Core Secret : A true pacifist, generally abhors violence (talk or bribe your way out of fights if possible). If forced to fight, you will defend yourself and nearby innocents, but you will not attack. Jorunn Gromsdottir (Bill) , dwarf Apothecarist. An unexpected betrayal by a trusted friend left her untrusting of those who call themselves friends. Core Secret : You conceal a terrible disease: a small, but growing spot above your heart has turned to stone and traces of crystalline structures can be found in your bloodstream. Lynathryn ‘Lynat’ Nightsong (Dave) , wood-elf Hunter. Lynathryn has been a scout and hunter for the Eonir of Laurelorn for centuries of warfare that softens his attitude toward non-elves, even thou it sometimes comes off as condescension. Core Secret : The belief the world is doomed fills you with anguish
