[QUOTE="mikeawmids1, post: 9260891, member: 7030604"] [U]The Enemy Within (Warlock!) Session 6, 08/02/2024[/U] Having departed Biskerstaf, the [I]Berebeli[/I] cruises up the River Vessen and docks at the town of Weissbruck, where Cousin Josef hopes to unload some cargo. Gustaf spots a woman on the docks, haggling for passage to the capital. He recognises her from a bounty poster as Cecilie Bentzen (the lover of Jizt, a jilted noble). The sailors get a bit handsy and Kalvin steps in to defend the wanted woman, shoving one of the boisterous bargemen into the river. Gustaf levels his crossbow at the others and they soon back down. Fritz pulls Cecilie aside and realises she is quite heavily pregnant. Cecilie thanks the PCs for saving her. "You're welcome." Kalvin says. "You're nicked." Gustaf says simultaneously. Cecilie proclaims her innocence, pleading Lord Urin of Wallbach murdered her father and is forcing her to marry his horrible son Jizt, so he can fold the village of Wurzen and the great Wurzenwood into his own lands. Her lowborn lover Peter (and the father of her unborn child) was killed breaking her out of Lord Urin's castle.
