[QUOTE="Particle_Man, post: 1830805, member: 892"] Ok, from then on they are looking for Candar the Wily, but they first have to deal with a few things. King Anguish tells his son that they need money (to rebuild the castle, buy food for the surrounding populace, etc.), so Caius is going to marry a daughter of the wealthy Baron Ivo. “Yes father”. Also, someone that saw Caius’s misdeeds and is trying to blackmail him. But Caius really IS shady, so he just uses a “contact” to make sure that the blackmail stops. The “contact” agrees, and then asks Caius to deliver a package to a man named Lukas when he goes to Baron Ivo’s. Ok, the party has more dreams on the road, helping with some foreshadowing (either of the characters they will encounter soon, or of the distant past/future that is relevant to their most likely prestige classes). They see a knight riding towards them accusing THEM of being demons. The battle is brief (the other knight loses). But they fight to subdue, not to kill, because they figure that he was fooled by the nun/sorceress as well. The knight (Sir Geoffrey), on being convinced of their good intentions, takes them back to his lord (Lord Eustace, 42) and the other two knights (Norman and Randolph). Eustace is a minor lord of the old faith, with a shrine out back. The players heal up and go on their way the next day. They are accompanied by pilgrims going to a monastery on the way. They run into various bandits, barbarians, etc., many of which have a black pearl among the attacking party. (it becomes a running joke that when sir Andrew intros himself “I am Sir Andrew, defender of the faith, order of the dove,…” he gets attacked as soon as he says “faith”). The worst is a group of five archers (they saw in a dream a family being peppered by arrows to the sound of laughter) who accompanied them but started killing some pilgrims during the night. Ok, they go through Littleton, where one of Hamilton’s servants during the night tries to kill Hamilton (he is not with the rest of the party). Hamilton wins (there is a great part where he mounts up and chases the servant with a pitchfork, when Caius and Toby arrive on the scene, Caius comments “See, Toby, I don’t treat you so badly, do I?”, but finds that the servant was using a nasty weapon, a dagger that seems to have an evil aura about it (there is no alignment, but there are ignoble weapons that are pretty much the same thing). And it was covered in a liquid that was likely poison. Prince Caius wakes up and takes charge. Caius also finds out that his “package” was opened, and that a dagger scabbard and 5 bottles (two empty) are found. Caius keeps this a secret, and keeps the dagger too! So, the party adventures on, after Hamilton picks up another servant, 12 year old Hubert. They also sell off some of the extra horses they have gotten from fighting bandits, etc. They fight some animal swarms, and hear the laughter of the nun (but don’t see her!). She escapes. I want her to be an occasional pest to the party. They locate a monastery, drop off pilgrims and prisoners, and find out that an oversized book from ancient times has been stolen by a man with a salt and pepper beard who was earlier asking about it and wanted to look at it! [Candar the Wily!!] On to Shropshire, where the minstrel (by rumors, interrogating prisoners with pearls, etc.) was said to be. The party tries to do subtlety. Ehhhh. The minstrel is not in the tavern he was said to frequent (and had a room it), but Andrew saw someone with dark hair, dressed like the minstrel was said to be dressed, kissing a woman in an alleyway.

[I was going to put “my hat of Merlin know no limit” but I restrained myself]. So now at least they know why the “black pearl” guys are targeting Christians. And over 20 black pearls are still out there! Oh, and they find more rumors of Candar the Wily. He was said to ask about a haunted castle, and so they make for it to try to catch him. I think there more fights on the way, but to tell the truth, I am a little fuzzy here. [/QUOTE]
