Session 112-  “No Rest for the Wicked” Part 1

1/21/2024

• Before leaving Yellow Skull, Tim and Fecus donate 1000 GP to the 

  youth soccer team that names itself the Junior Rams in honor of the 

  adventurers.

• 4 days later, the GB lands in a clearing west of the Shudder Mountains.

• The GB Away Team (Tim, Fecus, Mike, Myldgyd, and 4 ghuls) decides 

  to do a perimeter check on foot.

• They find a footpath leading to the southeast.  Following it, they 

  discover The Soldier’s Rest Inn and Trading Post approximately a 

  mile down the path.

• Tim and Fecus debate whether or not to bring the ghuls inside or 

  tie them up outside like horses…. they settle on bringing them inside, 

  but notice everyone inside is disturbed, so they send the ghuls back 

  to the barge.

• Tim and Fecus talk to Jarla Herzog, wife of the inn’s owner 

  Griswold Herzog.  They notice a family of 6 (the Steiners) sitting at 

  the table nearest the fireplace.

• When Jarla’s husband returns to the inn, he informs the Steiners that 

  the Imperial Army has camped nearby and the Steiners quickly hide in 

  the cellar of the inn.  Griswold asks Tim and Fecus if they can keep quiet 

  about the Steiners and they agree to not mention that they had seen 

  the family and go so far as to offer the Steiners refuge on the 

  Golden Barge.

• Mike and Myldgyd accompany the Steiners to the Golden Barge.

• 4 Imperial spies masquerading as traveling scholars arrive at the 

  Soldier’s Rest and start up a conversation with Tim and Fecus.

• The leader of the Imperial spy group, Katharina Ruppel, asks 

  Tim and Fecus some questions probing to see what side of the 

  conflict they’re on and if they’ve encountered the deserter 

  Lodwig Steiner.

• Tim and Fecus claim ignorance regarding Lodwig Steiner, but 

  Katharina is suspicious of them.  She claims she is going to check 

  on something in the barn and takes her horse, riding south towards 

  the Imperial Army Camp.

• Tim claims to need to go to the bathroom and wanders outside, uses 

  Invisibility, and watches Katharina take her horse and ride south.

• Tim uses a predetermined code phrase with Fecus back inside the Inn, 

  “Remember Copher and Gunda” and Fecus is alerted to the dangerous 

  turn the situation has taken.

• Fecus creates a bit of a distraction for the remaining 3 mercenaries that 

  allows Tim to cast ESP on Anna.  Her thought that he reads is 

  “She knows I can track them if they escape”.
