Not sure when Alebelly may check in, so… “ Hubert, as Sir Simon’s manservant, when did you first see the unnatural growth around the cottage? Have you seen, heard or felt any supernatural or demonic forces? When was the last time you were inside the cottage? Did anything appear unusual? Do you know...

Where did Jinsei climb over, and what route? How exposed would Minoru be on the top of the wall? I think I do want to be on the wall so he can easily signal Kaida if things go pear shaped. Jinsei, Fuma and I assume Minoru went over the north wall, so as to be close to the north wall of the bedroom....

Initiative [1d6+1]=3+1=4 Lost. Paladin’s action will be to shoot leader. Given “All movement happens at the end of a shootout turn, after all other actions on count 6 are finished,” I guess I’ll go ahead with the shot now. Paladin heard the yell for retreat. He figured the left/west side pair would...

Given the distance to go, and robbers movement as Action, I’m assuming this is a Combat Turn? In a Shoot Out Turn movement is negligible; a galloping horse goes 5 yards, vs. a Combat Turn’s 32 yards. Assuming a Combat Turn, I’ll include two shots. If its a Shoot Out turn, we can disregard the secon...

“Perhaps we can hear these stories over dinner tonight,” replied Arduin.

Gertrude can field questions to Hubert.

What did Amis say to this?

“ What makes you think demons roam? Have you felt, seen or heard things? ” Arduin considered Amis’ words. The magus was glad to hear the force (fey, infernal?) radius was limited, judging by the brambles presence in just the vale. The force seemed strongest in the hour after midnight, considering th...

I had assumed Fuma and Minoru followed Jinsei up and over, though the delay in their rolls I suppose puts Jinsei under the house when the dog is spotted. Perhaps Fuma is at the top of the wall when the dog is seen? Jinsei motioned in the ninja sign-language for Fuma to stop, lest the dog possibly s...

Arduin observed the gardener, taking stock of the man's face, behavior and reactions as they talked. "Good afternoon Amis, thank you for talking with us. My name is Arduin, and this is Gertrude. Here, sit down and relax for a bit. Would you like a drink?" Arduin tried to make the gardener ...

From under the house, Jinsei waited for the dog to appear while Minoru and Fuma took their positions.

“Let us start with the gardener,” suggested Arduin.

“ Ah, you have the farming classic “Furrows of Fortune: Agricultural Advancements in Feudal Realms.” Arduin puffed away on his long pipe. “ And the seminal Equites, Equivocatores, et Reges: The Triumvirate of Medieval Society.” “A keen mind indeed sir is reflected on these shelves.” Arduin puffed up...

Arduin turned and addressed Simon. “Simon, the cottage is at best the under the sway of a dark fey, and at worst an infernal force. Within the month your house will be overtaken by the brambles. If you wish to save the last of your wealth, this château, and what standing you have left, let us dispen...
