## Returning from Clon MacNoise
Returning from Clonmacnoise, the troupe passes through An Scairbh
on the first day of the new year (1 November).
**Played** 17th February 2021
The troupe returns from Clon Macnoise on 1 November, the first day of the
Irish year.
In a village, midway between Killaloe and An Scairbh, they meet Eogan.
He has spent the night with the grooms in the hayloft, and is now spending
the morning hours with his sweetheart before he has to return to Elk's Run.
He finally pulls his act together and proposes to the girl.
She is reluctant to believe him, but once she does, she is thrilled.
Afterwards, the troupe passes through An Scairbh.
It has been a year since the effect of the Mist of Change ended, and
the population is at least halved since before the Mist.
The magi find them excited, gathered in the town square.
Liam and Orla, from the Cult of Lugh-Leigh are there, promising them
greatness if they establish a local cult.
The villagers are gathered in the village square, talking.
There is a foul stench over the village, maybe rotting carcasses, and many
of the cottages are still in disrepair.
As the group arrives, some of the recognise Liam, who turns to Boris,
the nearest unGifted person in the group. «Long time, no see.»
The villagers are proud, and they want Liam's Cult to save them after
the harsh time following the Mist of Change. Liam wants Una, and the others
to join the forming Cult. The more people they are, the more powerful will
the Cult be.
It seems that the villagers are promised greatness if they form a local cult.
Una, particularly, is hostile, and the villagers, feeling threatened, pick
up pitchforks and axes to defend themselves. Not prepared to fight the group
leaves without comitting either way.
## Council Meeting
**Played** 3 March 2021
Una calls an emergency meeting as soon as they get to the covenant, and
nobody is fond of an infernal cult on their doorstep, but decision make
is a slow and cumbersome process.
Philippedes goes to The Peruchia of Nerius the next day to seek
advice. The best advice he gets is to persuade the villagers to
confess and seek penance.
Crimthann and Una do research in the library and learn that
+ Pagan village near sir Hanson's village
+ Lugh (or Lugus) and the Tuatha Dé lives in the Land of the Living
+ It is extremely hard to enter the faerie realm. A faerie road helps, but is not enough. You need to impress the faeries too.
## Session 10 March 2021
## Travelling to the Pagan Village
**Plauyed** 10 March 2021
**Cast** Una, Philippedes, Seafraid, Dermot
At breakfast 3 November, the magi reach a decision. They will first
try Una's course, and try to find the true Lugh of the Tuatha Dé.
They decide to travel to the pagan village, which is located close to
Gern and sir Hanson's manor.
Maine refuses to take part in the pagan endeavour.
On the way, they pass through An Scairbh. They talk to no one, but
observe that the villagers are engaged in construction work
under Liam's direction.
In Gern, they meet Peter Coffin and Grendleby, and with some difficulty,
they engage Pip to be their guide.
The once pagan village is at the end of the path up one of the valleys,
and they arrive before noon.
Una and Phil talk to the old wise woman, Adoarna, who remembers the
pagan times. Now a chapel has been raised near the village, on the
site of their old hall.
Dermot talks to the blacksmith and has his blades sharpened.
There is a good and broad briddleway leading into the forest to the chapel,
as both Adoarna and the smith can confirm. Adoarna points them rather to
an old and overgrown path.
They departed on 4 November and tok 2½ days to Gern, where they spent
the afternoon socialising with Peter Coffin. They arrived at
the village of Chapel Hill on 7 November.
