I agree with taking the icon back and it's a great idea to get a fur for Fyodor's songstress...

Did we claim any reward for safely guiding that silversmith back to Middenheim?  If nothing else it may be worth getting friendly with someone who can value things.

We could settle in at our room and board, go drop the relic off and then be back for guard duty?

Sounds good!

Happy New Year to you all too!

Happy new year all! :-)

I'm nursing a cold but I'll try and have a proper post up tomorrow!

Happy NY from the the Bay Area.

I'll let you guys decide who gets which room. :-)

Apologies for the absence. My best friend and his wife are over on a visit from the states so I'm busy and dealing with a lingering cold. Hopefully normal service will be back soon!

Get better soon, GM!

Yeah, get better soon mate.  I managed to injure my foot taking off my sock after a walk on Saturday- been hobbling about since and it's all bruised and swollen.  In my younger years I'd have injured it doing something exciting lol.

Oh boy! Get well soon, both

Feeling a bit better or at least determined to get back in the game. Thanks for the well wishes! :)

Hope you are feeling better Lukas!

Welcome back :)

Oh I am fine GM, more laughing that I am at the age where I am hobbling about because I took a sock off wrong.

Glad you are feeling better

Just as a note for your characters:

Wearing a silver hammer pendant is perfectly acceptable for a non-priest - it is essentially the equivalent of a practising Roman Catholic wearing a crucifix necklace or an observant Jew wearing a Star of David pendant - but it would probably suggest to others that you are primarily followers of Sigmar, which might or might not be something your characters want.

The war being over is putting it too strongly but Fyodor does know that the Chaos armies were defeated in their siege of Middenheim and are now in retreat. Way back in Untergard Gerhard Schiller revealed that Middenheim still stood (msg #19 in 'Through the Drakwald') and later Gretchen mentioned that the Emperor and Boris Todbringer were "chasing the Chaos barbarians back home" (msg #27 in 'Chapter One: Ashes of Middenheim'.)

Obviously neither person would have up to date info from the command tent here but the fact that you guys are walking around in a still standing Middenheim is probably a good sign. :)

Ahhh gotcha. Thanks for the summary.

Apologies for the delay. I had Covid last week and while it wasn't serious it knocked the wnd out of my creative sails. I'm better now and will try and catch up!

Sorry to hear you have been unwell, and of course glad to hear you are now feeling a little better

Get better soon, boss!

Thanks guys, feeling better now. :)

I'm always fascinated at how PCs can go in completely different directions - in the published adventures the Untergard refugees plot is basically dropped straight away after everyone reaches Middenheim. I don't think it occurred to the writers that our heroes might ask for additional aid for them! :)

You guys okay with me fast fowarding to your night job?

In reply to Game Master (msg # 502):

Works for me.

Happy to fast forward!

Yep, good for me :)

I forgot you guys wanted to check out the warehouse in the daylight so you are a little early for your jobs, enough so that you can do a quick errand or two before you are officially on the clock. :-)
