Session Four The Runewardens try luring Moira down to fight them on the ground, but she is having none of that and ignores their gentle mockery. It doesn't help that the players of Sir Bruno and Apogee are both absent this week, as it is for those two characters that the Crow Hag holds a...

Session Three Tink and Alistair travel the Path of Petals to rejoin their companions. The Runewardens retreat to the Ruasidhe camp and interrogate their goblin prisoner. The goblin's name is Butte Nugget, and he drops the following points of exposition; The Broken King is allied to a powerful...
