Entry #539 - Children of Nightmares

(G539 28/10/2023 via Roll20 - JF(GM), AP, KT) WA124

[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. They recently won a big street battle against a bunch of vampire funded counter-revolutionaries!]

[Here, dear reader, we will now leave the doings of Westgate. Interesting as it is, I lost sight of it all when Fenrir and Reinward left. Raz stayed behind as king, but he was never one for sending letters so at this time I am not sure exactly what has been going on there recently. I should really go and pay him a visit. After all, how many of my friends have become kings recently? Anyway. I will now commit to paper everything they did after the coup, up until the time they arrived at Yag Island.]

DAY 560 (14th Eleint)(September)

Random had said to them:

''
It would be good to get rid of the person that everyone blames for the death of the Croamarkh! He was popular with a lot of people and it would be good to disassociate you with the King.
''

Fenrir took the hint. Truthfully he was glad to see the back of Westgate. It was a nice place but he'd had his fill of vampires and half the city hating and/or wanting him dead. Reinward didn't have to leave, but he was of the same mind so they packed their bags and left. They handed back the keys to the house on Wizards Cut, thanks the staff and teleported out.

They were on their way to OSM (Ottery Saint Mary) to see Giselle and since Fenrir's Boots of Teleportation had a maximum range of 900 miles they went via Corm Orp.

I should note that Veddic stayed for a while to see if he could wangle being Eternal Flame of the new temple of Kossuth that was to be built.

Fenrir turned up at Giselle's door at the Kryptgarden Lodgehouse in the afternoon. Reinward went to get a drink at the Badger in the village.

Giselle was sat with her feet up reading a book. She was surprised but happy to see him. She said he was welcome to stay as long as he liked and she could even provide a room for Reinward. Since all that business with Teru Yardpike and the death of her father she was pretty much the Lady of the Lodge and no one could stop her having her boyfriend and his pal come to stay if she liked.

They went out for a meal and a few drinks at the Badger's Breakfast, then came home again. Each to their separate rooms.

DAY 561 (15th Eleint)(September)

Fenrir had a dream during the night.

A wild and stormy night, deep in the forest.
You see a light in the distance and head towards it
You feel weak, as if missing all your powers
You head to a light, it's the mouth of a cave
Full of trepidation, you go in
There is a dark skinned woman lying on a bed, surrounded by three witches
She screams!
A baby cries! The witches hold the new born baby aloft
Then beckon you forward
The baby is presented, the umbilical cord is held towards you
You are handed a knife

- Cut the cord or not?

You cut the cord!

- The baby opens is blood red eyes!


Fenrir woke in a cold sweat. This dream must have surely meant that Nexelmode, the druid necromancer of Ferbone Forest had just given birth to a child of which Fenrir was the father.

Today he also got a Sending message from Veddic:

''
The Demons (Behemoth etc) assaulted Castle Urdo and did lots of damage and killed many people in unspeakable ways! They wanted a seat on the council as payment. Random said that was fine.
