Session 15

As the pirates boarded the RiverWolf Erik called out in alarm and scrambled to the Stern of the ship. The others awoke and ran upstairs to see that they were under attack by the pirate queen Kai Strauss. After some well organised focus fire on Kai herself the group got her to retreat and she called her men back. Her barge left off and the group recuperated their wounds. The next day they traveled onto Delberz and docked in the town. Erik sought out a blacksmith to repair his armour while Seigward and Seigbert enaged in conversation with a local merchant, Guerina Stumpfegger. They discover she holds a monopoly on the town and any trading they wish to do will have to go through her.

Ava and Herbert traveled outside the town to the home of Heironymus Blitzen. They had some trouble getting an audience but once they mention Josephs name Hans-peter Schiller, Blitzen's apprentice, let them in. They informed Blitzen of what transpired in Bogenhaffen and gave him all the notes they had. After some deliberation Blitzen agreed to train Ava as a wizard. The group spent the next month in Delberz and made numerous changes. Seigward trained as a boathand, Herbert became a hunter, Erik trained with Klaus Schattiger and Crusher Braugen. Ava and Seigbert trained their dogs to not be scared of Ava's magic and both learned how to read and write. After her training as a wizard Blitzen demanded repayment.

The favour Blitzen wanted was for the group to track down the woman mentioned in Johannes letter, Etelka Herzen and her companion Ernest Stelzner. He informed Ava that he sent a number of letters to the colleges of magic and found Etelka was trained in Nuln alongside Johannes. Neither of them graduated but he did learn Etelka had a home in the town of Grissenwald. Blitzen was worried what the two may get up to, especially since the party had thwarted Johannes' plans. The gathered their resources and began to get ready to leave. It was then that a large crowed was formed in Delberz as a royal decree was issued. The Emperor, Karl Franz, pass a decree that the killing of mutants was henceforth illegal.
