Session 108 Killed by a flumph

Interludes

A night in jail

• The PC's are taken into custody to await the traveling magistrate. Their magical brands are discovered and the magistrate takes them aside to tell them of their quest.

Hvitserk Arrives

• Hvitserk arrives looking for his companions to start some carousing. His preference is to head to the The Empty Net tavern and blow off steam.

Raider sails are sighted

• The sails of raiders from the Sea Princes are sighted on the horizon. The town panics and sounds the alarms. Do the PC's head out to sea or help fortify the town? The PC's may discover some of the odd artifacts in use (linked to the Empire of Lynn arms dealers)

Planned Events

The Constable Arrives

• The constable Halvor and a heavily armed escort arrives to put a stop to the bar fight to find the PC's sitting at the bar drinking quietly. The remaining patrons still in the bar are in shock but no property damage is apparent.
• Depending on their actions Halvor may have them taken in for questioning at which point their brands are discovered. (Ref ' A night in jail' )

The tale of the Haunted House

• The PC's meet with Julia who tells them of the old alchemists mansion on the hill outside of town. Its reportedly haunted and strange lights have been seen there on moonless nights.

Cliffhanger

If they are in town the raiders arrive. If they are on the road use the coastal random encounter.

Voice/Mannerisms Bond Ideal Flaw Info Anya has a pet magpie named Trinket, who serves as her lookout and occasional accomplice. She carries a hidden dagger, always within easy reach, and knows how to use it without hesitation. Anya speaks several languages, including thieves' cant and a smattering of pirate slang. Despite her profession, she has a soft spot for children and animals, often providing them with food and shelter when she can. Rumors abound about Anya's past - some whisper of a noble upbringing gone wrong, others of a pirate captain as her father. She keeps her secrets close, adding to her mystique. Equipment
