Session 13

The group departed Altdorf setting off for Carroburg to do some trading. On route they were stopped by a river warden patrol. The swords master, Egmont Pilzer, warned the group about a pirate queen,Kai Strauss, who has been terrorising the reik. After traveling on wards they spent the night in The Courageous Ship, a river side tavern run by an ex imperial handgunner. The barman, Berthold Lehmbruck, told the party of a battle he took part in in Helmgart against a bretonian duke. Seigbert unwittingly insulted him and the group were told to finish their drinks.

The next day they came across a fisherman,Siegmund Goldwasser, struggling with his catch. It was soon revealed why as a Stirpike smashed his boat and sent him into the waters. Erik dived in to battle the beast while the rest provided covering fire. Siegward fished Seigmund out of the water while Erik delt blow after blow to the Stirpike. It jerked away from him and swam away underwater. Seigmund thanked the group and asked for a lift to Carroburg which they obliged.

As they neared Carroburg a boat full of nobles tried to play chicken with the boat. Thanks to Ava's excellent piloting the party maneuvered the boat just out of reach with their anchor. This didn't stop several nobles from jumping on board. One missed his jump entirely and fell into the river. One nobel, Egon Bach, on the RiverWolf began to urinate and mock the party before departing after their riverborn friend thanks to excellent diplomacy from Seigward.

Once in Carroburg Seigmund was able to put a good word in to Landolf Hecher, a Carroburg tax collector, for the party and get them cheaper docking fees. They thanked Seigmund, gave him some money for his troubles and wished him well. Seigmund thanked the group and they departed.

Meeting with two merchants, Alram Schild and Farald Tetzlaff, the party were able to trade some of their wares for woold and metal. Erik and Herbert went to wet their whistles in the White wolf workermans club. Herbert was approached by two individuals selling cups and after repeating their odd hand gestures one shook Herberts hand. Herbert found his hand was covered in purple and proceeded to place it on his chest giving him two marks.

Seigbert wandered around Carroburg looking for wares and came across a shop called Hugelsteins Curiosities, went inside. He traded most of his weapons and gold for a dagger that used to belong to a priest of Ranald.

After some toasting with the merchants the group rested on the RiverWolf for the night.
