While traveling in Eastern Europe...

You leave the Castle of Von Staler and after traveling for a day or two, following the intuition and clues of your shared dreams, come across a small village. The locals immediately panic when they see the wanderers. The women shriek and hurry their children indoors. A group of the menfolk of the village approach, threatening you with pitchforks.

What do you do?
Oct 18, 2020 3:28 pm
Gerald raises his arms in a non-threatening manner, quickly proclaiming that they mean no harm to anyone. It doesn't help that he is ugly but he does his best at trying to quell the panic, knowing his friends will help as well.

With your -4 Charisma, you have rolled significantly below target, haha.
Oct 18, 2020 8:11 pm
Emma, seeing that the menfolk don't seem placated by Gerald's words, speaks up "We mean you no harm. We passed Castle Von Staler on the way to your village and were attacked by monstrosities. We're injured, starving, tired to our bones, and just want a place to rest for the night and forget the horrors we saw."

The citizens realize their mistake and apologize, saying "We mistook you for the soldiers of the Devil’s Mistress."

Once reassured that you are not who they thought, the villagers are open and friendly and invite you to dine with them, and offer what help simple folk can.

You're escorted to a larger house and they prepare dinner for you. You can wash up and attend to your wounds in the comfort of a home.
Oct 19, 2020 11:55 am
"Anyone else curious about the Devil, the Devil's Mistress, and the Devil's Wife? Does she know of the mistress?" Ataan states frowning as he stripes away the dirt and dust of the roads they've traveled.
Oct 19, 2020 2:18 pm
"Aye, had the same thought myself. We should ask the townsfolk about it." Emma lets out a tired sigh "We can't seem to catch a break when it comes to the devil."

Gerald also washes off the dirt and grime of the road.

Yes a visit to town is definitely in order. And you're right of course, Emma. But at this moment I'm starved and could eat a horse. Let's plan what we do next on full stomachs.
Oct 19, 2020 11:33 pm
"Oh, indeed Gerald. Horses and a good pint of mead." Emma goes to take a pull from her flask and is disappointed to find it's empty. "And the sooner the better." She begins to wash herself and clean off her clothes.
Oct 26, 2020 4:09 am
After you wash up, you find your way to the dinner table. You sit, Gavrel is asked to say grace, and then you are served and begin to eat.

"Where do you come from?" asks Micel, the host.
Oct 27, 2020 8:21 pm
With a belly full of meat and mead, Emma wistfully says "I grew up in Dingle, a small village that juts out into the Atlantic. Some call it the most beautiful village in all the Emerald Isle. When my task is done, I hope to return there someday. In the meantime, was travelling about, when I came upon this lot.". Emma pauses, looks at her companions and host, "Go n-eirí an t-ádh leat".
Oct 29, 2020 4:16 am
"That's so far. The edge of the world."

You're served spicy stew and bread dumplings, and a rich beer. You eat and the hosts ask more about your travels.
Oct 29, 2020 1:20 pm
I'm from a town near Devon myself. Gerald dug into the stew and added, Believe it or not, we all met at a fork in a road.
Oct 29, 2020 10:23 pm
With an amused look on her face, and a raised eyebrow, Emma asks "Metaphorically you mean? Because I met the lot of you at a bar in Translyvania. Interesting time, that."
Oct 30, 2020 1:53 am
"I am from... all over the place, though my ancestors hail from Spain," Gavrel says.
Oct 30, 2020 2:08 am
Gerald merely smiles at Emma and continues eating.
Oct 30, 2020 2:33 am
Micel, after you've had a chance to eat some, says, "I'll say again we are sorry for the confusion. I hope you aren't terribly insulted. We haven't always been so suspicious of strangers, and remember when the traditions of hospitality were more in favor."
Oct 30, 2020 5:10 am
"We understand Micel. These are dark times indeed and you're right to distrust strangers. You mentioned earlier of a Devil's Mistress? Care to tell us more?"
Oct 31, 2020 2:45 am
"Dark time, indeed," Gavrel echoes, nodding along.
Oct 31, 2020 3:07 am
When you mention the Devil's Mistress, he crosses himself and mutters a prayer for deliverance.
Oct 31, 2020 3:10 am
Uhoh, that bad? Gerald says upon seeing Micel cross himself. This mistress....she has soldiers, you said?
Oct 31, 2020 3:25 am
Micel crosses himself three more times, and mutters more prayers, but he nods in answer to your question.
Nov 2, 2020 4:07 am
Emma looks at Micel, "I know it's difficult, but what can you tell us of the mistress and her soldiers?"
Nov 2, 2020 4:14 am
He refuses to talk about the matter. No matter how hard you try, you just can't get past his suspicion that there's a chance you work for "her". But he will give you directions to her castle.
Nov 2, 2020 1:37 pm
Gerald senses they've reached a dead-end. Can you tell us how to get to her castle then?
Nov 2, 2020 1:42 pm
Micel does. It's a long walk, nearly a day to get there, through the countryside.
Nov 3, 2020 2:49 am
Slightly annoyed at Micel's reticence, Emma sighs "Do you have any horses or guns or supplies that we can take with us?"

Ataan reminds Shaughnessy that the area might not be well equipped for such things.
Nov 4, 2020 1:49 pm
Micel says you might be able to buy a horse or two of you ask around, maybe farmer Haliscu. But people have been hoarding guns and are unlikely to part with them for any reasonable price.
Nov 4, 2020 2:21 pm
Horses would be good. Why don't we go find this Haliscu?

Gavrel nods, "I would love a horse. All of this walking is hard on my old bones."
Nov 5, 2020 1:21 pm
After dinner, the evening is growing dark, but you go for a walk to the neighbors farm. He does have horses. He'll sell you them, for £3 each (or the local equivalent), plus £0.75 for a saddle, bridle, and reins.

The horses seem like they're in good condition, and he assures you they're saddle trained.

Were you interested in buying horses then? You would have enough funds to buy four.
Nov 9, 2020 6:56 pm
Gerald runs his hand along the neck and whithers of one of the horses. I wouldn't mind having a nice ride like this. Whaddya say we buy some horses?
Nov 10, 2020 4:26 am
"Look at these beauts," Emma caresses the mane of one of the horses "I'd be down for buying one of the horses.
Nov 10, 2020 1:13 pm
"Well we have the money..." Ataan mutters, "Alright all of you horses I need the best of you come to me if you think you're better then the rest..." he states to the horses.
Nov 10, 2020 3:07 pm
OOC:
Yep, I would like to buy horses
Nov 10, 2020 3:08 pm
Haha you might be waiting awhile, Ataan. Gerald laughs good-naturedly and sizes up the horses, picking the prettiest one. He figures that since he is so ugly, he should have a beautiful mount.
Nov 13, 2020 1:52 pm
Rested, fully healed, fed, and now horsed, the heroes trek through the rough countryside toward the castle. Before you have covered more than a half-day’s travel, you hear a young maiden crying for help.

Turning a corner in the road, you catch sight of young woman sprawled in the road. The girl’s dress is torn at the shoulder and there is a large, purple welt on her face.

Standing over her are four burly men in armor, their tabards displaying the emblem of a black eagle, a drop of blood dripping from each talon. "You’ll make a fine gift for our lady," one snarls, raising his clenched fist.
Nov 13, 2020 3:04 pm
"I'll be butting in now. Would you mind telling me what's going on or are are we going to find out if today is the day my four legged friend here has a taste for the flesh of men? Along with other bodily injuries... Don't worry if you're dying I'll be able to bring you back from death if I feel like it." Ataan shouts out to the group of men.
Nov 13, 2020 3:14 pm
The brave wanderers shout a warning to the guards, who turn and warn you to "Leave now or face the consequences. We’re on important work for their mistress, and have no intention of letting the maiden go!" the soldiers prepare to defend against your attack.

"A necromancer?" he realizes you've claimed. "Get em boys. Kill them all."

Soldiers go last, you're up. Assume you are close enough to engage and attack.

I have been overestimating these guards. While they have strong armor, they're not wild cards and so they go down at the first wound. As such, you have taken three out by now.
Surrounded and overwhelmed as his mates go down, there is quickly one left. He drops his sword and surrenders. "Please, we're just supposed to take the girl!" he cries.

Emma will tie up and gag the remaining soldier, then see what she can find on the corpses, anything of interest? Also, what kind of weapons/armor are they carrying?
Dec 10, 2020 5:08 am
They each have a breastplate (+3 armor to torso), a Short sword (Str+d6), a dagger (Str+d4), a pistol (Range 5/10/20, Damage 2d6+1), and shot & powder (10).
Dec 10, 2020 1:21 pm
"Anyone need medical assistance... well anyone else..." Ataan inquires noticing his injuries and grumbles checking the size of the men to switch out his shirt once he's done, "And you, what is your name and when was your task to be completed by? Gavrel we should do something about the bodies." he inquires mostly moving a hand in the air to mimic last rites.

Ataan eyes the spoils, "I wonder how you take those apart..." he mutters eyeing the pistol.

"Finally, a pistol!" Emma exclaims. Anyone mind if I take one of these, along with the shot and powder?". She then looks at her dagger, and back at the guard's shortsword, "Or one of these..." and picks it up to replace her dagger. She mulls over the breastplate but feels it would encumber her too much.

Gerald is thinking about the breastplate but is otherwise good because of his boss Wheelock.
Dec 11, 2020 4:10 am
Ataan removes one Wound, and Emma finishes the job. That takes twenty minutes so by that time, the girl Helga had settled to your presence.

When you're ready, Helga leads you to her house, and her father rushes out and embraces her.

"Child!" he cries. "I told you never to go out in the day! When I heard the soldiers were seen nearby I feared the worst. Praise to God for delivering you safely to me."

Helga breaks the hold and gestures toward you. "Were it not for these brave travelers, I would have been on my way to... well, they saved me, but in doing so killed the soldiers."

"Bah!"
spits Helga’s father. "May the Devil take his own with speed. Please," he gestures toward his house, "join us for something to eat. We are not rich, but we can offer hospitality."

Over a simple meal of bread, cheese, and cold meat, Helga’s father, Klaus, explains that the region is gripped by terror.

"The villages around these parts were normal once," he sighs. "Yes, we were poor, but we had our freedom. Then the Devil’s Mistress began taking girls. At fi rst we thought it was a blessing, for the soldiers told us the girls would be trained as servants. A lowly post to people such as yourselves, perhaps, but the money we were paid could feed us for an entire year.

That was five years ago. We tried to arrange visits to see our daughters, but we were always refused. Then the next year the soldiers took more girls, and more the next. Last year they stopped paying us, taking our children by force.

We began hiding our girls, but the soldiers burned down houses and killed livestock until we revealed where they were. Now we send our children away, to the town. Helga here refused to leave me, her poor, old papa."
Dec 11, 2020 1:38 pm
What a terrible thing to be happening. And for so many years!
Dec 12, 2020 3:36 am
Emma's blood is boiling upon hearing the tale. She takes a deep breath and goes to take a swig from her flask, but it's empty. "Who is this Devil's Mistress? And why does she need girls and children?
Dec 14, 2020 5:03 am
Any time the Devil’s Mistress is mentioned, all present cross themselves repeatedly and mutter hurried prayers for deliverance.

Klaus can't tell you what she is other than the hereditary noble for this land. She lives in a castle on a nearby mountain. Neither she nor her ancestors were known for cruelty until this past five years and the demand for daughters.
Dec 17, 2020 1:50 pm
"I see she has stricken your courage and filled you with fear. We will look into this mistress and get your daughters back if we can. First though, does anyone have any whiskey to fill this with?" as she points at her flask.

Klaus will see you your flask, filling out with a crude whiskey.

Did you want to rest overnight before calling on this Devils Mistress? What are you doing with your prisoner? Klaus could quietly see him hanged if you leave him in the hands of his fatherly fury.
Dec 20, 2020 5:06 pm
"Who knows what dangers await, best to be well-rested and prepare beforehand. I say we stay the night. As for the guard, he deserves whatever justice is meted out to him, by you Klaus."
Dec 24, 2020 12:03 am
The night passes with only one incident: around midnight, you hear a scream, which is then choked off. Klaus returns to the house and drinks quietly by himself. In the morning, his haunted eyes greet you and after a quiet supper, you saddle your horses and he leads to to the castle of the Devils Mistress.

The castle is a vast brooding edifice cast in near-permanent shadow by the mountain on which it sits. Klaus says that he’ll wait at the foot of the mountain to guide you back, but is very scared and will not willingly go closer.

You can approach the main gate, but there is no easy way to sneak in. Castles are purposefully made to forestall such efforts.
Dec 24, 2020 1:56 am
Gerald walks around the man gate and looks in between the bars, scanning within and all around the outside looking for a possible entrance. Perhaps they can find a way over the gate or another way in. He does have a rope and a grappling hook.

Ataan looks to the rest then speaks "We are but mortal envoys to relay a message from a greater power about the actions your benefactor should heed." Ataan states loudly and flatly.

The guards look at each other, and one shrugs. The other says, "All right then, but oi, no weapons. You can put them in this sack and get them back when you leave. Rules."
Dec 28, 2020 3:34 pm
Can I at least wear my breastplate. You know, for my own protection?

Gerald puts his Wheelock unwillingly into the sac along with his dagger.
Dec 28, 2020 7:51 pm
"Yeah, your breastplate is fine, just no weapons."

I'll assume that you have a tabard or such over the breastplate, since it's identical to the ones they're wearing, which might raise some suspicions.

After Gerald enters, you see that they're not searching you, so you might be able to get away with small concealed items like a dagger.

No roll necessary.
Dec 29, 2020 3:22 pm
Ataan leaves the firearm and stare at it for a bit before sighing to go instead followed by his dog.
Dec 29, 2020 3:43 pm
Gerald now regrets putting his knife in the bag when he catches sight of Emma hiding hers. A little hasty he was.

At least one of us has a weapon, he thinks.
Dec 31, 2020 8:03 pm
Emma is curious why the guards let her be, no doubt for some nefarious reason. She follows her companions, on her guard.
Jan 1, 2021 6:39 pm
You are escorted through the courtyard to the main hall, a grand affair decorated with many old tapestries, suits of armor, and displays of swords and axes mounted on the walls. A long table fills the center of the room, and a fire crackles in a grand fireplace at the far end of the chamber. Despite the trappings of life, however, the castle feels cold and empty, like a tomb.

Once in the grand hall, the four guards turn their weapons on you, ordering you to surrender. They look deadly serious.
Jan 1, 2021 6:42 pm
Yes, I should have kept my knife, Gerald thinks. At least one of us has a knife.
Jan 4, 2021 4:47 am
Emma has a sense of deja vu as they walk through the castle into the main hall. This feels similar to the previous castle they had just visited. Angered, "Are all the castle owners here alike? Will no one just serve us tea and scones, chat about the glum weather, and be done with it?"

"Don't you just work for the Mistress? You really want to throw the gauntlet in her stead? Does she and you lot not even care about the face and reputation of the Wife?" Ataan asks cocking his head also serious.
Jan 4, 2021 1:40 pm
The guards, with their weapons drawn, listen to Ataan. One of them, says, "Oh good, a talker. I was hoping someone needs a demonstration."

They're going to attack, and attempt to knock Ataan about nonlethally. Do you fight back or accept being captured? If you do want to fight, I'll draw Action Cards.
Jan 4, 2021 2:08 pm
Gerald has no weapons and his taunt and fighting skills are not great so he waits to see what the others decide.
Jan 5, 2021 3:32 am
It would be madness to take on four armed and armored guards with just our fists and a single dagger. "What are you going to do with us if we surrender? And will we get to see The Devil's Mistress, here and now?"
Jan 5, 2021 9:56 am
"We'll take you to the dungeon. Don't worry, you'll meet the Devil's Mistress soon enough." They edge closer ready to cut you down if you resist.
Jan 5, 2021 3:45 pm
Looking at her companions, "Lads, I think it best if we surrender and go willingly with the guards."
Jan 5, 2021 4:05 pm
Yes, it's not like we have much choice in the matter, to put it bluntly.
Jan 5, 2021 4:17 pm
"Attan and Gavrel, if you agree, let's get going.". Glaring at the guards, "I've been hankering for a good dungeon escape." and spits at their feet.
Jan 6, 2021 1:17 pm
"Fine... well see what happens here on..." Ataan states.
Jan 6, 2021 2:31 pm
They march you through the castle to stairs going down.

The rough-hewn stairs lead down to a large dungeon, whose cold, dank walls seem to leech the warmth from body and soul. The central chamber contains all the usual trappings of these foul places, but unusually it has two iron maidens, one of which is closed, the other open. In front of the closed maiden is a metal bowl, which is slowly fi lling with blood trickling through a narrow opening in the device’s base.

Standing before the closed iron maiden, stroking it as if caressing a lover, is a stunningly beautiful woman, her black clothes in striking contrast to her porcelain skin.

Two sides of the dungeon are lined with cells, in which huddle a dozen half naked young girls, wild-eyed with fear.

The guards inform the Baroness that they have caught trespassers. The evil Baroness studies the prisoners closely and singles out Ataan.

"A man will make a nice change to my master’s usual diet," she purrs. "Let him taste the maiden’s kiss," she says as she gestures to the open iron maiden. "Execute the others."

Seeing Ataan attack the guard brings joy to her heart. She looks around the table and grabs something that looks like a pitchfork, with four long claws attached at the end (The Spanish Tickler). She lashes out at the same guard Attan just struck.

It's a huge sac of pulsating jelly, with blood red segments mixing with ichor green, putrefying blue, and all manner of other vile colorations. A throng of slimy tentacles, each tipped with a gaping mouth sprouts from its gelatinous form.

You all beat it's initiative draw, so do what you will.

I'm not sure how much good a spiked mace will be on jelly but maybe I can break open a mouth or two.

Gerald swings the mace at whatever maw he can make contact with, grunting with the effort.

Gerald misses the maw for which he aimed. (Parry 8; Body would be Parry 4 due to its Large size.)

Emma runs up next to Gerald and does a wild attack to the body of the ooze, seeing it as an easier target.

Total damage 4+2 = 6

While Emma lands a blow, there isn't much behind it, and the horrors skin or whatever you might call it is extraordinarily tough, easily protecting it from any harm.

Ataan and Gavrel are up.

Ataan strikes and lands a blow. It is Shaken.

Bichura doesn't get is teeth through the oozepeal.

I'll have Gavrel cast smite on a fallen sword and hand it to Emma.

Six of the Master's tentacles lash out, but it just gets outs bearings from having it's been rung. It is no longer Shaken. attacking everyone.

I believe that hits everybody. This is a really tough opponent.

Weird glitch that it added the damage rolls twice. Must have hit post twice, I'll ignore the second one.

That looks like 31 to Ataan, 28 to Bichura, 17 to Emma, 13 to Gavrel, and 11 to Gerald.

That will drop Ataan and Bichura, 2 Wounds to Emma and Gavrel, and 1 Wound to Gerald.

I'll pause here if you want to spend any Bennies.

Does it need to unshake first or bennie spend? *adjusts glasses* Me and pooch are down.
Jan 28, 2021 2:30 pm
Good call. It did make the test, but without a raise, the overcome honeybees its actions. No attacks this round. No damage taken by any of you.
OOC:
Ugh, now I need to roll those again

A hit with a raise. You can add an extra d10 for damage. A property of the mace when fighting the unnatural is it does a d10 instead of a d6 on a raise.

Pow!

It kind of jiggles a bit from the impact but doesn't take it badly. It may have giggled, in fact.

The spell does not work, but you can move up to your Pace if you'd like.
Feb 2, 2021 12:55 pm
Ataan blinks he was pretty sure he was injured and on the ground with Bichura.

"Well this may not be the best of plans but Retreat! Monsters shouldn't giggle!" Ataan suddenly yells grabbing Gerald who's the closest before Bichura glomps the Gavrel onto his back as the master and pooch opt for distance and a new plan.
Feb 2, 2021 12:58 pm
Gerald flees with the others.

Gavrel tries to keep up with the others' retreat.

You escape the dungeon, with the Master giving chase. It's shockingly fast but doesn't fit up the stairs so well. You get to the courtyard and grab your weapons.

You know the truth. The maidens from the area were all killed for their blood in those iron maidens. There are no survivors.

You return to inform the man you meet, whose daughter you saved, so he can let the families know, and begin to grieve.
The spirit N'Longa appears in your dreams. The spiked mace is the first of the five artifacts that the spirit has you looking for. The others are in America, Africa, Asia and elsewhere. A world to journey as you gather items for the great fight against evil to come.

But those are other stories, and will be told by other story tellers.

I thank you all deeply for following me on this journey.

I thank especially Windyridge for prompting me on October 6, 2019 that Solomon Kane was on sale on Drivethrurpg. I launched this game within the same hour, and it was everything I hoped it would be.
Feb 3, 2021 1:38 pm
Thanks a million for running it. I for one had a blast!

Thanks for running man, sorry for the slow responses at times from me... but proud pupper owner in the game was fun.

Thanks for running my intro to Savage Worlds and Solomon Kane. It was excellent as usual
Feb 5, 2021 2:41 pm
OOC:
Sorry for the slow responses towards the end there too. Didn't think I'd enjoy SK initially, but I had a blast playing, this was a fun group to play with, and you were an excellent GM! Stay safe and keep exploding those dice everyone!
Feb 5, 2021 2:58 pm
OOC:
Glad you all enjoyed it. I'll kick your characters and shut the game down later today.

Thanks again!
