## Session 9 Nov 2022

Sean Blonde Beard, knows the Quaestores Regina and was traveling with her to Elk's run through Killaloe. They ran into the current situation in town, investigating and even earning a penny.

There is some news they were carrying on the way before learning of Chief Tormac's "rescue".
Near the Loch Derg, lake, there is now a town growing up called Shoreham which is built somewhat too well, becoming more than the hamlet it was a few years ago - it used to be a sub-par inn (it was just 4 cottages)

Chief Tormac Ó Conchobhair, leader of the clan from Connacht
apparently drove away the "demons", making a ruse of saving the people from a threat they created. They were very generous with the church. Tormac chased away sir Roland, Tormacs right right hand banished them

Tim gathered some intel and an arcane connection pebble from just outside the tents. At the same time  Una (in disguise), Nemoy and two grogs that Tormacs army has not seen before all traveled to Killaloe on a fact finding mission.

Una recognized Sean, and the party shared information, confirmed their initial findings of the ruse by asking others and made camp for the evening in a secure spot a handful of paces into the tree line - outside the Dominion aura of the town as Regina is disturbed by it.

Camped in the Forest, Sean may night walk and they will all seek a morning audience with Tormac.

# Spring 1242

+ **Session** 4 January 2023

Regina make a tour to talk to native magi and get a better understanding of 
the Peripheral Code.
She first visits Visioturpis.

The magi discuss how to deal with Una's grievance and the tribunal

# Summer 1242: Tribunal

## Informal meetings

+ **Session** 11 January 2023
+ **Cast** Una, Tim, Nemoy, Regina, Quinn

Una tries to gather support to restrict the Coil Tri further.
They talk to:

+ [Guillaume](../NPC/Guilllaume) of Flambeau of Præsis (canon NPC)
+ [Indrechtach](../NPC/Indrechtach) of Peruchia of Nerius (canon NPC)

Una also makes book trades with Carolus of Criamon whom they met several times in the 1220s,
and who has now founded a new covenant in Meath.

They meet with Tormac, as agreed.  Una wants to bar them from using the Valley of Elk's Run
ever again.  In the discussion it is suggested that continued hostilities could have concequences
for the trade in Killaloe too, and nobody will admit to causing harm by travelling through the 
valley again.  Modest compensation for the killed grog is offered though.

In the end, they make the agreement with Tormac that they waive all claims to compensation, also
for the grog, in exchange for free trade access in Killaloe.  Una promises to declare Wizard's War
on any of the hedge wizards in the entourage if they ever enter the valley again, but she says
nothing against Tormac's mundane crew or the rest of the Coil Tri.

Sean has travelled through Shoreham. Tim has visited in raven shape.
Tim has also talked to Archimedes, and ravens from Shoreham may have
visited.  Several sources tell about a suspicious novice who arrived in
Autumn and is now being trained by father Charles.
It seems that the apprentice may be Gifted.
None of them have had time to get further information within by the end Autumn,
so the story starts in Winter.

# Autumn 1242
Sean makes a visit as nightwalker.  He finds the apprentice sleeping in the 
living room at the vicarage.  He has a chest with an expensive lock, but nothing
else seems significant.

**Meeting with the Bishop**
Beibhinn, Regina, and Quinn go to Shoreham to investigate in person.
Regina casts a magic sense spell on Beibhinn so that she can sense the Gift if
the apprentice has one.  She enters the church and finds the apprentice in the
study at the back.  He is startled and slams his book shut.

**Exploring in Killaloe**
Beibhinn tries to charm him into letting her touch him to use the sense spell.
She is excessively charming, and the apprentices spontaneously gives him a hug
when she approaches.  She senses no numbness of the Gift, and he quickly turns
away embarrassed.

The party camps outside of town. Quinn goes to buy food just before the gates
close. At the same time, Sean makes another nightwalker visit just to see that
the apprentice carries the book back to the vicarage and puts it in the locked
chest, keeping the key in a chain around his neck.

**Reporting to the Bishop**
Regina asked why the bishop had suspected magic interference.  
He said that one of his canons, called Gwaine, had recommended the
investigation.
The second night, they take into the inn, to be inside the gates at night.
Beibhinn and Twidget breaks into the vicarage to steal an arcane connection
to the apprentice.  The next day they return to Elk's Run to have Cieran make 
teleportation cookies, one for Beibhinn to return outside Shoreham and two for 
the return to Elk's Run.  The Numbness of the Gift is recast with an AC to
the apprentice for penetration.

**Rewards**  11xp and three confidence points
Beibhinn makes a second visit in the apprentice's study.  This time he is
less welcoming.  She should not be there, and the last visit was a mistake.
Beibhinn persists, though, and on direct question, the apprentice admits
that he has a master, Hugo, who is a magus of the Order of Hermes.  Houses
and lineages make no sense to the apprentice. They pursue *holy magic*.
Beibhinn gives him one of Cieran's cookies and persuades him to taste, so
that he teleports back to Elk's Run.  Beibhinn grabs the book and comes after.
