Rat Treasure and Back Down River: Game 7

General Summary

The Party explored the sewers under the shop of Gravon Pitt, the necromancer apothecary, stole treasure from a rat horde, headed down river with the small flotilla of boats lead by Angharad Fawr, and ended the session after the third day down river with a warning that an ambush is waiting at the intended camp site destination, which has an old abandoned Fultonian castle called Caer Rhufenadd upon a hill overlooking the river. "Deadly danger lurks. Surprise the Danger: great risk and great reward." Angharad declares that there is a very small landing less than a mile up stream of the way station, and that the gnome and/or ranger should scout out the beach and report back. The party must decide what to do next!

Last Night in Bondar and Buntar

The Party decided to check out of the Bluebell Coaching Inn, and reconvene in the home of Rhodri Fawr. Odium Moulim elected to remain at the Inn, but joins the party going down the Kozar River. The next morning the merchant boats left south. Fianna Fawr, the daughter of the old warrior merchant Rhodri Fawr was supposed to lead the flotilla south. However, given the potential clean up of the mess associated with the murder of Gravon Pitt, his associates and a wererat, it was decided that she should remain in Bondar. She is a charismatic and level headed leader, and her presence may be necessary to ensure the Fawr family is not implicated, including the bastard son of Rhodri, Tigernach. The hot headed, insulant and insulting Angharad Fawr will now lead the trading mission south. The main commodities will be very expense clothes from the mercers and weavers of the Bevilian capital city, Run. The flotilla consists of:

Emer the Boatwoman

The two boats from Emer Mor Emer, Emer the Boatwoman and her daughter Enid Ni Cuhail, and their two boaters, Sinead Ni Tiar (short, strong, broad shoulders, red hair) and Aiden Mac Cuhalin (tall, black hair with an Adam’s apple).

Back Down River

The party headed back down river, stopping in two Celtic villages and planning on spending the third night in a way station, camp ground for travelers. The location for the third night is essentially a cleared area next to a wide beach, woodlands, and rolling hills with an abandoned, ancient Fultonian castle upon the hill overlooking the river. Two Celtic villages for the first two nights are Alchlth or Mucmag and Torg.

Alchlth

Alchlth, also known as Mucmag's notable individuals were:

Catrin, subchief missing left hand and front teeth, carried out on a shield
Heledd, Druidess, short haired blond, white robes, friendly
Dylan, Bard Middle aged man, handsome

Torg

Torg's notable individuals were:

Halster Chief
Lowri Black haired, beak nosed with a cane, white robes

The party stayed in a long house, which housed the chief, notables and guests. The only excitement in Torn was the gnome almost got in trouble for attempted theft. Ankili mac Aevyrn confirmed that the black clad individuals that you have been tracking and suspect to be necromancers that may have stolen the magical lute stayed in both villages on their way south.

Way station and Caer Rhufenadd

The party is using a sacred chicken to perform augury or divination spells prior to arriving at each location. Before brining the boats up to the third night's stop at the way station or camp ground, the sacred chicken eats its grain in a manner that clearly communicates: "Deadly danger lurks. Surprise the Danger: great risk and great reward." Above the river side camp ground upon a hill is an old Fultonian castle that was abandoned centuries ago. (The cover and footer photo). The ruined castle, Caer Rhufenadd, is rumored to house evil spirits of the dead, and is shunned by Celts and other sane travelers. The party, and your leader Angharad Fawr, must decide what to do next. Angharad declares that there is a very small landing about a mile up stream of the way station, and that the gnome and/or ranger should scout out the beach and report back. July 13, YR 908
