Session 11

The group spend the night just outside of Bogenhaffen on the Berebelli. They share a number of drinks and eat the rest of Ava's squirrel stew. Herbert is lost in though about the letter from the woman named Elteka and wonders if she has information detailing his past The letter also mentioned Ernest, the one who was there when he was tortured by Giddeon. Josef quietly tells Ava he knows she's a spell caster and should seek official training. He recommends an old friend of his in Delberz named Heironymus Blitzen.

The next day they comes across a floating barge names the River Wolf. They board the ship to see there are several corpses on the deck and are soon ambushed by beastmen. After fierce fighting the group are victorious(though Herbert loses his second fate in two sessions) and discover these beastmen have a red crown symbol burned into their flesh. Beneath the deck is a woman hiding named Renate Hausier. She admits she hid when the attack occurred and was just a passenger of the ship. Josef tells the group it's best they depart in Weissbruck. He spends the rest of the day attempting to train them in sailing. Only Ava really picks it up.

With Ava as the defacto captain since she proved Josef's best student, the party head into Weissbruck. The set down and bid farewell to Josef who plans to return to Bogenhafen and get his payment. The group pay for some wares and Ava looks for a herbalist. She discovers the address of Elvyra Kleinestrun, the herbalist she insulted in Bogenhafen. Elvyra's house is empty though and has been ransacked. The group attempt to alert the watch but they prove useless as they are only volunteers. Herbert and Seigward find a hidden cellar in Elvyra's where there is a little girl, Liza, hiding. She bites Seigward and attempts to flee but they easily catch her. She explains that her aunt, Elvyra, has been kidnapped.
