And everyone else who's reading. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> It's good to know some people are enjoying reading about our game. I'm really enjoying the trilogy so far and I can't wait to see what else Privateer Press has in store for The Iron Kingdoms. One of my players has Fool's Errand and chances are I'll probably run it. I'm also looking to incorporate some Dungeon adventures into the game.I'm really hoping to keep this game going as a long term campaignWell, let's get back to the story shall we.(Back in Corvis...)As the three watchmen come down the street Vallan moves to meet them. Two of the watch stop in front of him while the other runs after Linc and Ethradan.The guards ask him his business and in reply Vallan pulls out his silver holy symbol of Morrow telling the men he’s working for the church. “I heard a commotion and came to investigate he says.” The guards buy his story and tell him it’d be best if he went on his way now.Down the other street Lincon and Ethradan have attempted to hide. The watchman however spots Ethradan and calls for backup. Seeing the guard moving towards him Ethradan moves out of his hiding spot. The watchman tells him to stop and get on the ground but the elf ignores his command.The two other watchmen join their companion now and the three of them surround Ethradan. They attempt to get answers from him on what he was doing and where his friend disappeared. Ethradan tells them that he’s alone and didn’t do anything wrong. They call him a liar and tell him he’ll have to come with them to the jail. Ever arrogant, Ethradan tells them he’s working for Father Dumas the High Prelate and shows them his silver holy symbol telling him they can’t apprehend him as he’s on church business.Swearing one of the men runs back around the corner to see if the dwarf’s still there. Unfortunately he’s disappeared as well. Returning to his companions they decide to take Ethradan to Father Dumas to see if he’s lying. Lincon follows the group while Vallan attempts to find his own way back.The Past RevealedOnce at the church one of the watchmen goes to find the priest while the other two watch Ethradan. When Father Dumas arrives he does vouch for the elf and tells the guardsmen that he will handle the situation from here. Once the guards leave Linc comes out of hiding and together with Ethradan they explain to the Father what they've been up to. He's certainly not happy that they've been participating in B&E on church business but apart from a light reprimand he doesn't seem too angry. Near the end of their explanations Vallan finally gets back. The three men now begin to question Father Dumas about this witch trial and try to find out whether the rest of the bodies stolen were also jurors. Dumas can only confirm that four of the names were jurors at the trial. However he has a surprising amount of information about the events surrounding the trial.Apparently the leader of the coven was his own sister-in-law! He relates to the PCs what he knows about the trial. The activities of the coven were brought to light by a city magistrate name Ulfass Borloch, at the time a minor functionary. The proof he brought against Dumas's sister-in-law and the other four coveners couldn't be ignored. Their crimes were great and the trial progressed quickly. They were tried and sentenced to death in a matter of days. The executions themselves took place privately in at a site outside of the city and four of the witches were buried in a tomb at that site. The leader and Dumas's sister-in-law was buried in a tomb on the church grounds. She left behind a daughter whom Dumas has been taking care of since. (Alexia, the girl they saw their first day at the church.)When asked whether he believes the witches were guilty of the crimes he replies that he does. The proof was unquestionable; they did commit the crimes.Armed with all this new information the PCs now have many new leads to follow. However the hour is late and everyone need some rest after a long day. Agreeing to pick things up in the morning they all head to bed.(To be continued)</blockquote>
