Session 8 - Hunters

16/4/300 - The party awoke and Rabbie was content they were well enough to leave his care.

The party spent the day exploring the castle. Braith encountered Embarr, Damanta Lior's horse, and took responsibility for her care. Heskan, Elnorin and Ruric found the other bolt hole with lead to a cave and makeshift mooring at the Loch's edge.

Riding out, Braith encountered the Northern Expedition heading to meet them at Carnspor. She also used the time to pick up Ban Lior's trail.

Braith rode back to the town and gathered a welcoming party. Paullus Accius Arius, Shona Muir, Davin Kelly, Rabbie and Prima Claudius "Ursa" all stood with the party to greet Aine Stormsword.

There was feasting and talking but it was ultimately agreed the Aine would sit as ruler of Carnspor until Queen Caitriona Ingen Ailis to appoint someone properly.

As the afternoon feast came to a close and a number of drunk Vannin (and one dwarf) made their way to an early night, a local farmer knocked on the door and begged for help. He had, apparently, beseeched Ban Lior for aid a few days ago but was turned away. He claimed a dragon was attacking his farmstead each evening. The party gathered to investigate.

An hour later they were attacked by a manticore at the farmstead, quickly assuming this was the beast, the adventurers engaged and slew the creature. They noted that, along with the kobolds, this was another displaced mountain dweller. Heskan and Braith investigated the farmstead to find two teenagers (both children of the farmer) guarding the livestock in the barn.

The party return with their success and rested for the night.

17/4/300 - Ruric placed an order for a warhammer with a less angry Prima.

Elnorin passed The Book of Asmodea to Aine Stormsword and the party left to pursue Ban Lior's trail. After mixed success at tracking, the party decided to head around the Loch and head towards Crosaire. The party rested for the night.

18/4/300 - The party awoke to a new day and their hunt.
