Road Trip
We are going overland through Slovenia. We left the Venice area in late April, 1516.
There seems to be a bunch of bad luck (broken wheels, etc.) I look for little people. AmbrosioTornelli checks if we have been cursed by someone (the Doge?). I notice a hazy magical miasma.
We discuss if we should dispel the curse. We decide to do it. We also notice we seem to have a small group of people following (at least 3.)
Counter Ambush
The Prince's Men
We interrogate them. Who do you work for? ProsperoTepes.
They were sent to protect us!
We heal them. They are extraordinarily understanding.
The Black Mass
AmbrosioTornelli attempts to dispel the curse. We hear chanting in the night. I listen. It is the Black Mass! I say we should leave. I disrupt AmbrosioTornelli's ritual.
We think they are over the next ridge.
I say prayers until dawn.
Broken Carriage
We leave. We see workmen going to the top of the ridge for a major construction project (maybe a castle or fortification).
After a short time the carriage breaks an axle!
We decide to go get a cartwright from the nearest town. We find one and bring him back to the carriage.
On the way back, we are passed by a well dressed, armored man. When we arrive at the carriage, he is there talking with the CompanyOfCrowes.
Baron Pergstal
Greetings, I am BaronPergstal. His family is rebuilding the castle on the hill. He offers to help us. VincenteTornelli politely declines.
We fix the carriage.
We make camp. As we go to sleep, we hear wolves howling in the distance.
The Wolves
FilippoTarantino shoots lighting, and lots of wolves start howling. Some our horses break free. We hear one get taken by the wolves.
Dispel
++++ Hostage |
BaronPergstal and his knights come down and ask if we are having any issues. We tell him about the wolves and our lost horse.
I suspect that BaronPergstal has the mystic vision!
He says he wants to take us hostage.
FilippoTarantino blasts him with a lightning bolt.
