Frozen Whispers (adventure)

[Brain]

"Thanks, guys. Vicious beast, I can see why their numbers are low if they attack in such a fashion."

Slyfen will search the body and ask for a cure from the wand, if we are to continue this day.

 

[Galieo]

Looking to Belisha from atop his steed, the knight pitilessly shakes his head, "Aye, twas it's nature to attack and be attacked; tis my belief to let nature takes its course. Shall we put it out of its misery?"

Wiping his bloodied blade on a scrap of cloth, Eolan sheathes his weapon and turns to Slyfen, "No thanks is needed."

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Hardin heals Slyfen with his wand, then turns to Belisha.

"Eolan's right. 'Twas its nature to attack, and such nature killed it. That's the way of the world."

 

[Krug]

Belisha shakes her head and says a prayer over the lion. May you go to a kinder place.

 

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

The party allows nature to take its course, and the Timberway lion bleeds to death in peace. Slyfen searches its corpse, but there is nothing to find. It appears to be completely normal, if a little underweight.

The party returns to the dead man leaning against the tree, to go through the papers they found in his tunic.

The papers appear to be typical papers that a hunter might carry. There is a love note from his wife, a few receipts for furs and meat, and a map of the area.

With a few minutes of study, you are able to determine your present location, and the location of the Bluerock Lodge. At your current pace, you could make it there in no more than a couple of hours.



OOC Notes:

Slyfen restored to full health (wand cures [1d8+1] 8 + 1 = 9 hp of damage)

Slyfen Search check result 5 + 10 = 15

 

[Krug]

Belisha sees if he can find the name of the hunter. He intends to return the note to the wife, and hopefully alert someone to pick up the corpse and give him a good burial.

 

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

From the love letter and receipts, you quickly deduce that the unlucky hunter's name is Kyle Tanner. The love note from his wife is signed simply with an "L."

Additionally, the documents allow you to make an educated guess that their home is in the village Tasper, some tens of miles to the west, though Kyle apparently spends most of the year hunting in the Bluerock Lodge area.

 

[Krug]

Belisha communicates what she learnt from the note. "Will it be wrong for us to make a diversion to Tasper? Might one of you strong ones be able to bring his corpse there and not leave it to the carrion?"

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Hardin nods thoughtfully.

"Aye, we could make a brief diversion. I'm willing if the rest of ye are."

 

[Galieo]

Leaning over his saddle, Eolan gestures for Hardin to push up the unlucky hunter's body. Laying the corpse over his saddle, Eolan says, "Aye, let us journey to Tasper, and lay this man to rest. Perhaps we can stay the night there? "
