Crawic

Herein detailed are the adventures of Cadfan and Ansgar. Cadfan is a local felon, loser, petty thief, and general lowlife. Ansgar is the captain of the guard on the estate of Lord Leofing Whitehand. Ansgar once gave Cadfan shelter from a winter storm in a woodshed. They are both from Crawic, a town home to ~2000 people, ruled over by Whitehand.

Day 19

Procured a mule from Lord Whitehand. Set out NW. Saw strange holes dug into the ground. Quiet area, rolling hills. One ration went bad.

Day 20

Set out SW of Crawic. Decent weather but strange red sky. Rolling hills. Heavens opened. As rain started pooling in the valley, a woman with claws and bat wings emerged from it. We fled. Found a strange door set into the side of a hill. It was small, ~5ft. The person/man behind it was not friendly and did not want visitors. Ansgar heard voices on the breeze speaking to him. Made it home, gave Krank a knife.

Day 21

Went hunting with Kreek and Krank. Noticed birds migrating the wrong way, at speed away from the mountains. Found 4 sheep. Got 3 of them. Butchered them with Inga's help.

Day 22

Headed south from Crawic. More empty hills. Headed home. Saw scorch marks on the grass. Got called to Whitehand that evening. He had finished his investigation into the Moonblade with the help of a Theurge who was travelling from a town to the NW. The sword is magically powerful, but is cursed to eventually drive the user into a rage of pure self-conviction. It was not forged by human hands. Whitehand was unsure what to do with it, so Ansgar suggested he might one day reforge the curse out of it.

Day 23

Headed to the old Cannach Keep. Something was following them. Was it ever there? Insidez returned to the northern edge of the corridor. Opened a locked door to find piles of rotting viscera. Ran into a rotting shambling flesh creature. There were more, but we burnt the room. The whole room burned up nicely. Inspected the wreckage. The skeletons of the flesh things were mostly human, but with odd differences. Runic graffiti. The cracks in the walls on one corridor definitely led down to some sort of subterranean area. Found a scorched tapestry and magic torches. The tapestry depicted Cannach and his wife. The wife was worshipping Morrigan, and Cannach was pointing a sword at her back. Carving of the three faces of Morrigan. Moving skeletons. Picture of a bird-winged reptile. Fountain. Mosaic of the flesh ghoul creatures. Cadfan was wounded in a fight with one of the flesh ghoul things. Retreated to the signal tower. Ansgar scavenged enough food. Rested at the tower that night.

Day 24

Made it home. Saw huge gouge marks in the trees. Rested.
