Session 3

A storm rages and the four knights hunched over their steeds are travelling over a desolate bog while lightning illuminates the dark mountains to the north.

SKYDAY, week 1 of the Month of Sprouts K3

We pledge to travel to the Prey Seer to seek a way to rid Heldris of his affliction. We travel through J4 and Ludmer takes us through the stairs, hoping to follow a path that may be related to the beast. Harsh thunder and rain beset us, dire weather spelling an ill omen. We travel onwards and make camp on the other side of the ford we crossed several days ago.

RAINSDAY week 2 of the Month of Sprouts. I4

We travel to south-east (hex HI5/6) and meet Janka, an elderly tanner, making a campfire. She says she cannot go back to Kozamost. She dreamt that the Prey Seer is an impostor, who has stolen the identity of the true seer. A grave accusation that saw her cast out of her village. We agree to investigate on the basis she accompanies us.

A mossy ravine
STILLDAY, The Prey Seer

We make camp and search for the seer in the morning. There is a fleeting morning mist over the heath. We find a fissure with smoke coming out of the ravine, with lichen growing over natural steps. Wildflowers have been laid across the floor as a sign of appreciation. Janka remains outside. This place is special but is the seer? She knows that Heldris hungers for revenge. The Seer seems to be what she says. We need to take a holy sacrament to the shadow of the arches, sacrifice the sacrament and your curse will be lifted. To the North of where we fought The Hound. The Eye is Coming. She screams. She claims Janka is afflicted by her unhappiness, fallen under the sway of the Eye. It will come for all of us.

The Prey Seer 
BETWEEN SEASONS

Perilake heads to Barow Castle to warn the Lord of the land about the threat to the seers, accompanied by Ludmer. Sheriff Margaret of Shalai hears us out. She has a warm aura. She is ambitious. She take us seriously and pledges to send messengers to the other holdings and warn them. She tells us of The Cured Seer who resides to the South East. The Entangled Seer on an island in the Ryba Lake to the South, near Kranach Castle.

Ludmer uncovers that tourneys between knights and the bets upon them were rigged with the collusion of a merchant, Zoltan. Lady Ida of the Masur family is old nobility and is entangled in this. Exposing this earns a favour with Sheriff Margaret.

Heldris makes his pilgrimage to fulfil his sacrament, retracing our steps. As he travels his curse takes greater hold, dark clouds. Colmán, his trusty mountain steed carries him, now he is more hound than man. Finally Heldris is leaning exhausted against a wall that is revealed to be part of an ancient majestic arch. He burns his sacrifice, feeling the great weight of vengeance rise from him with the smoke.

Anastaz finds a home for Janka with Jakub the smith at Szalai Keep.

We reunite at Barow Castle. There is a reliquary that is a bone of contention with the Lady of Kranach. Neither she or the lord knows where it is. After the tournament, King Andrasz says that anyone who brings it would earn his favour. The Reliquary of the Needle Seer, somewhere to the South.
