[Fenrir and Reinward have been tasked with staging a coup in the city of Westgate to stop the evil vampire lord the Night King from doing the same. Just recently they have killed Dauntinghorn - again! This time by accident. Their house was also attacked by an Angel of Decay.]

DAY 542 (27th Eleasis) (August) cont ...

It was still early in the morning, but it seemed important to clean up the gunk left by the Angel of Decay. Ten buckets of the stuff was collected. Nobody got any sleep after that.

Reinward had been away at another vigil at the Temple of Ilmater and did not get back to the house until breakfast time.

'What happened here?' he asked.
'I'm about to go find out what it was,' said Fenrir.

They went to find Yntar Shieldblazon, a bard that they knew and Fenrir showed him a sample of the gloop.
'That comes from a horrible being called an Angel of Decay,' he told them. He then went on to give more details of the creature. Finally he warned, 'from what I hear, you can expect more attacks like this at your house. They will increase in size and deadliness.
You've really annoyed someone, that's for sure!'

Fenrir thanked Shieldblazon for all the information and gave him fifty gold.

Meanwhile, Veddic was wondering if he could set up an altar in the house to help with defending it against undead. He did not get very far, I'm not sure why, but here is my research on the subject:

- Veddic is a Burning Brazier - these are the missionary / adventure types

- A temple of Kossuth is always led by an Eternal Flame of Kossuth. They treat everyone underneath them poorly

- The 'stay at home' clerics are called Tendrils.

- When out and about BBs use the spells at their disposal (e.g. Consecrate and Hallow) to create temporary prayer areas for converts

- Building shrines and temples is usually left to the Tendrils who come to an area later, after the BB has gained enough ground

- But a shrine could be built for 3 to 5 K. It requires Craft Wondrous Item to be built though!

- In theory it could be built by a non-Kossuth cleric or other caster type, but it would be better if it was...

- Not informing the Church would probably be a bad idea considering what rotten bastards they all are.

- Veddic was told though, to follow Fenrir, so that he could get an actual Temple to Kossuth built in Westgate.

- There is nothing stopping him from getting the ball rolling on that

After meeting the bard, Fenrir and Reinward went to talk to Gwendeth Thavalar again.
They had a chat, and discussed:
- Thistle Thavalar was aware of all the business with the vampires.
- She was not yet aware of the plan to marry her to Raz!
- She thought that Raz was nice, but (in the nicest way possible) an uncultured oaf (which was basically true by Westgate standards).
- She was likely still in love with Dauntinghorn.

'It's too late for love now though!' said Gwendeth. 'There is too much at stake, the girl will just
have to do as she's told!'

'What if we pretend to kidnap her and then we get Raz to come rescue her?' asked Reinward. Fenrir and Gwendeth turned and looked at him.
'Nevermind... sorry... forget I spoke!'
Reinward was on his eighth glass of sherry by now and fairly well cooked. I must say he often came up with some really good ideas while sozzled (this was not one of them), but he always expected someone like Fenrir to put his ideas into practise!
