Warehouse 49 - Carrion Blades - If You go Down to the Woods Today

The Myste-Hass Calender

19/03/2024

The group wake and have a drink whilst discussing their path.

Cloudy heads out to get belgian buns for breakfast, going to a new bakery - Claudius. He promises to make a sign in return for more buns.

Castiel heads to the warehouse to see the quartermaster. The Pale Tintcher is a poison that stays in the body, until the poison either rejects it or succumbs. Midnight Tears will kill most people. Assassins Tears is quite effective. He takes two doses of Assassins Blood.

Castiel talks with Femaldo, asking if anyone in Lahoto's "care" is due to die in the next few days. He says that he requires a person, which he can kill. Femaldo decides to raise a body for Castiel. They agree to meet at the Temple of Bin.

On returning to the Moon and Stars, he sees Tedak. He leads the bedraggled looking woman into the bar. He provides her with Insome's Ale. The ale is smooth, luke warm and frothless dark liquid. It has a hoppy flavour with an undertone of lavender. It provides the benefits of giving a long rest.

Grasino walks in. He is generally slimy and condescending to Castiel, but he claims to be there to talk about their similarities. He also says he's there to see Harmony. They each drink a shot of Star Liquid. He agrees to come back in the evening and talk with Castiel and then go on a date with Harmony.

Castiel heads out to see Femaldo, guided in by Na-Raam. There are bodies laid out on alters and plinths throughout the room. At the head is an alter where Femaldo is chanting, candles on the alter and he lifts a diamond into the air. The body sits up. The body is called Robert.

Castiel intends to bind Robert's spirit to his own until the next sunset.

Castiel asks about Grasino, informing them that Grasino has made a deal with an entity much like he has himself.

Robert is dressed in priest robes.

Back in the tavern, someone turns up pretending to be Castiel. The group do not recognise anything wrong, inviting him in. Cloudy drinks a glass of the Polymorphic Brew.

Castiel and Robert turn up and it becomes clear that the other person was a pretender. The back doors were left open. After proving it is Castiel, he goes upstairs with Reobert.

Castiel slits Robert's throat, raising him as a spectre.

Lazarus heads over to Williams house, seeing the guards and Big Al. Williams is not back. They have searched a substantial amount of the woods, but Lazarus argues that they have druid who is really good with the woods. The man provides passes which need to be returned. The passes indicate they are not allowed back in if they don't return until sunset.

The trio heads towards the woods, then begin looking for Williams.

Back in town, Castiel and Harmony meet with Claus and his five men. They head out into the woods, but see Cloudy who delivers a message that reads - "PL353 Go Wy Wuh B Mordred" - and informs the individual that he's in great danger. Cloudy says there is a man in town who wishes your master harm. The guard brings Cloudy back to Claud.

Harmony begins performing for the group, attempting an enthral. Castiel gives the others poison in their alcoholic drinks. Harmony charms two of the men, convincing them to stay next to a tree. Castiel leads on Claud, whilst Cloudy tries to convince Bob, his lead henchman, that Claud's life is in danger because of a "Lemon" named individual.

A pale figure strides from a nearby figure and attacks Claud, the incorporeal figure draining his life essence.

Cloudy runs in to attack the ghost. Harmony falls on the ground in supposed terror. Castiel acts shocked as well. The spectre attacks Cloudy. Eventually, the guards take him down, but a white boar runs into the clearing.

Three boars run in. They are speaking common, one about a deal on the mainland, the other about a type of fruit. They are intelligent and react to Harmony's cutting words. Eventually, a loud and deep grumble of pig sounds are heard. With a tough fight, the group eventually take all three pigs out. But, only Bob remains alive at the end of the combat.

Bob carries Claud back to town. The group make it back just as the dun begins to set.

They head towards the Moon and Stars.
