A Trip to Limerick (Session 3. 12 February 2020)

The group stayed at Karl’s inn near St Lazare’s church in Limerick.

They found that their trade contact, Harold, had died some weeks previous, and that he had left his business to the Church, with Father Fulke in charge. The father did not want to honour the agreements made with the previos owner, although Kevin did his best to argue that the agreement was with the business and not with its owner.

While they were arguing with the priest a `troll’ emerged from the sea, attacked the group, and fled through a narrow street and into the woods. The valiant fighting gained the groupe great respect among the townsfolk. Father Fulke would still not budge, but they got the name of Noriss Clayton, a struggling merchant who might be forthcoming.

Characters

PCs Una, Vivianus, Captain Dermot, Serafina

Pool Characters Proposal: Bran, Kevin, Jimmy the Groom (responsible for pack animals, Loreena (hunter/archer – George).

Limerick Part II. The Widow (Session 3. 26 February 2020)

Characters as above

The characters met Elaine, Harold’s widow, who is very poor. She has been left a decent townhouse, but not any income to support herself and the daughter.

With the help of some magic, Una and Vivianus find that Harold’s will has been forged, with Harold’s signature forged by Father Fulke. Sidney, the Bondsman, does not admit anything, but he is obviously distressed.

The characters are quite generous with Elaine, and consider recruiting her as a scribe in the covenant or as an agent in town.

Advancement (Summer 1217)

Cieran reads Herbam (21xp raising score to 6)

Four confidence points and 10xp to everyone taking part in Limerick.

Una and Vivianus earn their 3p vis for the work for the covenant in Limerick

Autumn 1217 (TBC)

Cattle drove (Session 4. 5 March 2020)

PCs Dermot, Bran, Éogan

The clan droves cattle down to Limerick. Ua Cathail does the same, and both clans decide to raid the other. Dermot kills one of the Cathail guards and disrupts their raid. The result is a net gain of about 20 cows, or £5 when they are sold.

Advancement (Autumn 1217)

Cieran reads Mentem (16xp raising score to 5)

Vivianus sets up his lab and earns 3p vis.

Lucas trains grogs and earns 3p vis.

Dermot gains 7xp and 1 confidence point

Bran and Eogan earn 7xp each.

Library Development 1217

The bookbinder and the illuminator are busy setting up the labs for Marcus and Lucas in the Autumn, after an off-season in the Summer. The chief librarian copies Fundamental Fast Casting by Kallias of Tremere, resulting in a Q12 copy.

The magi learn that the library is short-staffed, and cannot meet requests to copy books for trade at the moment. An elderly scribe had to retire last year, and the last apprentice they trained had to take over the accounts for the mining operation. There is another apprentice in training, but he wont be doing a full job for another year or two.

Other Improvements 1217

Kevin sets up a merchant business which makes a small source of income.

Vivianus made an effort to use spells to prospect for better veins in the mine. Although he did find some traces, there was no significant improvement to the income. [Rolled Per+Finesse+Stress Die 1+1+6=8 on the table [Cov:57], for «Status Quo».]
