General
Allayn needs to be taken to Dhunraven
Aelric gently reminds characters about their duty to lord Khulgan – after all they haven’t finished what they set out to do in the first place.
Orcish merchants arrive from North
They are waiting for Allayn to leave the camp – when the characters arrive, various orcish merchants will want to accompany them
New Year’s Eve
The new year, 968 ER (Empire Reckoning) has begun. Ragmen holiday has come and passed (the last day of February, all who ask are to be fed, and arms are not allowed anywhere - those who breach the peace with bloodletting shall be forsaken by gods).
Mild case of winter shivers
There was a mild outbreak of winter shivers (flu) has broken out. None died though some children and one elderly lady ran high fever.
Father Brodan and Father Simeon and Widow House girls had ensured that every sick person was taken care of.
Character specific
Simeon
Widows (Mastia, Sylvie) and orphans (Bytus is 4, Kinnigen is 16Female, Kilogi is 16Male).
Both widows and Kinnigen try to win Simeon’s favour (Kinnigen goes so far and tries to offer herself – preferably around midnight, after some heavy drinking. She wants to become his protégée. She’s a zero level in desperate need of some goal.).
Whisper
One minor accident of magic mishandling – water that shies away from her. In order to placate water she has to perform a rite of absolution.
Sigurd
None. Basic XP.
Jarvis
find followers among other halflings,
sacred mission (later),
somebody has set a price on his head (Dhunraven territory).
Calim
Lots of healthy excercises.
Father Brodan tries to win him over with a promise of tutelage and some minor magic items (potion of Cure Serious Wounds) – should he agree, he is consecrated and taught in the ways of Thomas paladin.
Ashrem
Just like Calim.
Tyro
Some hunting, some fighting. Hit on by Siobhan – if he gives in, he can count on having some serious talk with Aelric.
