Bounty Hunters - Session 4

Notes

CULTIST HAUS

• We interrogate the cultist from last session. He discusses the return of Alexandra from the West before killing himself because he doesn't believe Bern's lies. Bern mercy kills him.
• Joana opens a booby-trapped chest (by blood vial), but succeeds on CON save. Inside chest:
  • A letter reading "You are commanded by your lady to undertake the following errand: Contact our Lady's emmisaries in Wydmoor. By the blood, for the light."
  • An Alchemist's kit
  • Fine white robes
  • Lots of gold (12pp, 45gp, 226 sp)
  • Non-cultist clothes
  • A smaller box (10gp, fancy), containing:
    • 6 blood-based healing potions
  • A false bottom of the chest, containing:
    • A detailed physical description of Eurasmus
    • Description of Eur's relatives and their comings/goings
    • A list of the stolen books, slightly different than what we got before:
      • 1. BS
      • 2. History
      • 3. SB
      • 4. NoW
      • 5. Gok
      • 6. Atlas
      • 7. Pink Rose
  • A red unguent (restorative ointment)

Rivias' Farm Manor

• Alchemist Murph sends us to Rivias, an old frenemy of Eurasmus' who he would go to if truly desperate.
• We find Rivias in the fields.
• He tells us his unfriend came by, looking haggard and asking for camping supplies and cash
• He obliged, but has no idea where Eurasmus is now

The Godforsaken Forest

• We try to hunt Eurasmus, using Pete's bloodhound nose (literally) and a scent picked up
• Not a tonne of luck, and we all get Exhausted trekking (except Whip)
• An ettercap and some orcs ambush us as we sleep.
• We kill them, thanks to some magic flames and light.
• LONG REST THANK GOD
