Introduction Last time the party met with Thiri the dwarven scholar in Seethorpe and gave him the goblin king's amulet with its strage sigil. He was certain it was the symbol of a powerfully evil creature related to the Nine Kings of Hell, and sent them looking for clues in the demonic temple near the town. The Adventure Stilda, Cyna, Bryne and Ellyn set off on horseback into the hills northeast of Seethorpe. They spend an uneventful day travelling, but along the way Bryne warns the others, "I've read about the Three Scourges in books you know. I don't think you should...

Introduction The heroes have almost reached Seethorpe where they hope to speak to the dwarven scholar Thiri, but disease, combat and the death of one of their own have slowed them down. The Adventure It's the morning of the 25th day of Rhana's Season and the sun is already long up when the party sets off southwest, skirting around the edge of the mountains that block their path to Seethorpe. In the daylight they can see that the mountain range continues to the southwest, still blocking their way. They really don't want to travel through the mountains, so they go back the way they came, hoping...

Introduction Today the party will set off for Vathmang Temple with Aentheorn the priest. He has some experience in his job so he'll be a level 1 cleric but he's not a Scarlet Hero so he won't get a fray die.

The Adventure After moving Helia's body outside the heroes search the cultists' bodies, finding a cheap pewter amulet worth 30GP. I've rolled a feature for the next room. The tables say "A dangerous intruder or beast who has entered the site", and for the motivation, "Rescue another person within the site". The heroes follow the spiralling tunnel deeper into the earth until it opens out into a cavern. They can hear the sounds of fighting so they move further in, walking past an underground stream. They can see the acolyte who fled from battle, and he's in combat with a man not dress...
