Session 25 After the worgs disappeared back to the ruined keep, the party broke camp and decided to simply skirt around the ruins on their way to the tomb of the Lord Inquisitor. They hiked a couple of miles and camped for the remainder of the night, then travelled through the surrounding hills, avoiding the ruins, and made their way back to the river and the crumbling Wall that crossed it. Remembering the griffon they encountered last time they passed

Session 24 In Appleby the heroes bought time at a smithy and, after deciding melting it wasn’t going to work, set about smashing the basalt statuette: they succeeded in shattering it, but when it broke a spirit was let loose, whispering it was ‘free, free at last’ before disappearing into the sky, last seen heading NW towards where the ruins of Ravenscar lay.

Ahead steps rose to a platform where a huge demonic statue sat squatting between two unlit braziers. Dust coated the floor, swirling and billowing as they moved into the room. Magnus, Jacob, and Alf ascended the steps, spotting a discoloured, smoother portion of the wall behind the statue: a secret door, but with no sign of how

Session 19 In the aftermath of the battle the party explore the upper ruins, looting the bodies of the dead bandits as they piled them into the ruined watchtower. They then descended into the cellars below, torches lit, cautiously, leaving Old Man Willow and the two daoine hunters on guard above.
