3rd of Harvest
After coming back from the farm that was attacked William paid for the mother and children to be taken to safety. Shortly there after we gathered with some soldiers and went to where the larger force was initially dispatched. When we arrived at the hilltop encampment from the west we all pitched in to help. Lala helped make a picket fence line, Friedrich mixed explosives, William unpacked supplies, and Gionata equipped two youths with signal arrows and scouted the enemy to the east herself. That evening our group went north into the forest and another group went south into the hills. We encountered about 11 goblins, killed 10 and took the last one hostage. Lala tied him to their wagon's wheel. Most people in camp thought it strange to take one hostage since they apparently don't speak common. We rested and the next morning the kid keeping watch to the east signaled the goblins were coming. The other kid didn't fire his arrow but I'm sure he is fine, or not I don't really care. We were given a unit of 5 soldiers (one for each of us to command) and told to decide: hold the line, charge the enemy, or flank from the side. Gionata started running immediately so we grabbed her and William suggested we flank.
1st Session
3rd Month ?? Day, 1266 AR
It is some unknown day in the first month of the year 1266 AR. Our characters find themselves at the Berry Monastery, known publicly as a group of monks living in a valley who grow blackberries and distill them into wine. Those who were recruited to learn the dark arts from the monks by choice are the shifter Lapis Lazuli, half-elf William, and human Friedrich. The sea-elf Val was brought into the compound with other captives. A ragged human with pale skin and patchy hair named Gionata serves amongst us as well, but it is unclear if she is here by choice or has been broken into servitude to the monks. The starting group of 40 participants are shown to a bunk room and class room where they spend their time building their education from various levels and topics to something the monks find suitable.
Over the weeks members of the group are called away. Some return and some do not, and after about 3 months there are only 12 participants left. The monks explain that everyone, except Lazuli, will undergo a conversion tomorrow. It will change them, and those that succeed will have newfound power. One person attempts to run and is killed, so there are only 10 people left for the process. Lazuli gives a tarot card reading for Gionata and Friedrich, both readings give the results Weal and Woe. On the day of Lala is not permitted in the room, but reads about the process afterwards. Those involved drank some potions and ate herbs then were strapped down onto tables. It was imperative to their own survival and the success of the change that they do not vomit. Six participants did vomit, which seemed to act like acid and burned their throats or stomachs. We were given free reign of the monastery the next day. After a day of rest and recuperation our real classes started. Lala talked theory with her personal tutor Dazeta. Friedrich was discussed chemistry and flesh craft with a monk. The other three had introductory class on necromancy.
The next day the survivors were sent after a pushy merchant. He came to the monastery looking to setup a direct connection with the supplier of blackberry wine. The monks do not like this kind of attention and want him taken care of. It is preferred that we capture him alive so that he can be used for other purposes, but his body would suffice for some use. After hurrying to catch up to the merchant, the party encounters some strange kind of wolves. They dispatched some and the last ran away. After catching up to the merchant we overheard him and a noble woman arguing about money. Friedrich and Val tried approaching the merchant openly with a few bottles of wine to convince him to buy those but his demand was measured in casks, not bottles. The other 3 party members hid in the woods while the 2 in the camp spent the night with the merchant and woman. The guards did not notice the members hiding in the woods.
