Echo & Hoolloch By Frosen from the Crows
Monday, the 1st
The party officially named itself the Magpies. In their honour, Mayor Stary Hrad hosted a feast, which the entirety of the group gladly attended. Meanwhile, Selminimum, the friar of the Optical Good, was sent to check on Tham Ruesie, bishop of this peculiar branch of the Pluritine faith.
Tzani, ever the scholar, completed a map of Lock Valley as it was before the flood. She later introduced the party to Echo, a scout of the Eagles. Echo, claiming a desire to defect from the Eagles, offered to help ambush them before they could leave Carrowmore. The Magpies accepted the proposal.
The Eagles
The Magpies attacked the tavern where the Eagles were feasting, managed to slay two of the retainers, leaving Alfredo unconscious and forcing The Durmitor, Veshtoroc and their last retainer to flee. Several civilians were killed in the crossfire. But, during the fight, Echo showed her true colours - revealing herself to be a member of the Crows - and betrayed the group; this was all a setup!
The building was set on fire, zombies stormed the front, while the back door was nailed shut. In the confusion, Sahra the Mage and Wit the retainer were backstabbed and killed. Despite the ambush, the Magpies escaped through the back door, opened by a knock spell, though they failed to capture the flying Crows. The party later rested aboard the Latipan, “Snail Shell”, Zarathusa’s ship, enjoying a rare, uneventful night. Romeo the grimalkin joined the group.
The following day, the Magpies re-joined with their remaining retainers and revisited the site of the battle — only to discover that all the corpses were gone. No loot was recovered.
They then rowed north, ascending the Lock River using a raft and a lifeboat. The session concluded at 10:20 a.m. (in-game time), when the party spotted two figures standing atop the water, shouting insults at one another. Tzani recognised them as Rem Koolhaüs and Ruskin Behaviour, two mages from her collective — known for their mutual dislike.
Obituaries
Sahra the Mage was backstabbed by Holloch By Frosens in a dark alley, moments after the Crows’ betrayal. Her body despaired without a trace.
Wit Tamdoun, the 13-year-old thief and functional alcoholic who joined the Magpies at their arrival in Carrowmore, was backstabbed by Echo By Frosens. His body despaired without a trace.
Session 06 XP
In this calculation, I adopt the motion proposed by Ash and seconded by Peter of assigning Finn a 1/4 share - I consider him as a level 0 Enchanter, needing 500 XP to reach level 1. If the majority of the group does not want to give Finn a share, we can change this next session.

Feats of exploration
- You fell for the ambush, but you were quite fast in understanding what was going on.
- Connecting the Crows sharpshooter with the previously encountered sharpshooter shows attention and good memory.
- Deciding to run was a very good call.
- Remembering that you have the knock spell and using it at the right time was vital for your survival.
- Choosing a safe place to sleep was a good move after the ambush.
- Conjectures over Tzani's allegiances are not necessarily true but definitely interesting.
