[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 6433254, member: 21938"] So, here's a recap of what you have learned so far: You have been asked by Lord Llewellyn to investigate strange occurences in the fort of his cousin, Lord Meirion, lord of Dinas Hydd (Fort of the Stag). These occurences have taken the form of: - Lascivious dreams that leave the dreamer exhausted. In these dreams is always a blond-haired, green eyed figure in white, be it male or female. - A sickness that is striking down the old and weak. - Other accidents befalling mainly the old. - Sightings of other ghostly creatures - a woman in white and a walking corpse in a monk's habit. Upon arriving at Dinas Hydd the group unearthed the following: - Rhonabwy the butcher's boy is the latest to be taken ill, he currently lies in the sick room of the chapel. - Brother Breandan is a young Irish monk who serves Lord Meirion. He is accompanied by Brother Alwyn, an old monk who seems to only speak in random snatches of Latin scripture. Despite a well-stocked herbarium and a surprisingly good library on medical works, Breandan seems to have been unable to treat Rhonabwy's comparatively simple illness, and he also accidentally (?) drugs Quint with a sleeping draught. - During the night the group all dream of being watched by a figure in white, and Myfanwy senses a disturbance in the For-- in the local ley energy. - The next day they encounter a young girl, Bronwen, who is heavily pregnant and claims that the baby is the result of the man in white from here dreams, although a more mundane explanation could be that Rhonabwy the butcher's boy is the father. - They learn of some of the older folk who have died suddenly - Huw Honey-Voice the court bard and Old Nesta and Mamgu Mari, wise women. - Quint finds tracks leading between where Rhonabwy saw the "rotting ghost" and the chapel area, but they are not clear. He also meets Bryn the butcher (Rhonabwy's father) and Old Dai, who drops hints about the wood above town. - Bronwen mentions Mad Megan, last surviving member of the Women's Circle, who lives in the woods above town. - The group visit Mad Megan who, amidst assorted ramblings, tells the story of Angharad, a young woman who died under tragic circumstances. Her ghost is said to haunt the woods. She mutters something about Arawn, lord of the Underworld. - The group travel to the ruins of Angharad's cottage where they summon up her ghost, who leads them to a pool in the woods where they find her remains. - Returning to Megan, she tells them more of Angharad's story. There are rumours that Lord Meirion was the father of her child back when he was younger, and she killed herself when he spurned her and went away to fight for King Owain. It was only recently, when Meirion returned to become Lord of Dinas Hydd, that the various hauntings started. Megan conjectures that the ghost of Angharad is not the one responsible, however, as hers is a gentle, sorrowful spirit and although she too has blonde hair and green eyes it makes no sense for the male form in the dreams, nor the ghost of the rotting monk. - Megan admits that it would be physically possible for Lord Meirion to also be father to Bronwen's child, but that his days of tumbling the peasant girls is behind him and he prefers hunting with his hounds to all else these days. So the group has: - the mortal remains of Angharad - a lord with a dubious reputation and history - a pair of monks who are acting oddly - a girl who thinks her baby is a demon-spawn - the last of the Women's Circle who may not be entirely sane - a butcher's boy who was the last to see the "rotting monk", currently asleep and recovering from sickness.
