Session 8

With time to fill in Whitecastle following their triumphant return from Woolworths the party each went their seperate ways. The Frog Prince feeling different after his visit to the sugarplum cathedral caused a small commotion in the royal arms by unleashing some newly acquired magical abilities. Subsequently locking himself away in his rooms at the castle to learn more The piper, still with only the mission to occupy his mind from the recently uncovered woes of his family came across the captain and several crew of the drowned sailor while seeking information on the slumbering princess and found himself redirected to the Mage Mim. Gretel returned to her found family at the woodcutters' guild for a well-deserved rest that was short-lived as the Wolf took it upon himself to engage in terror activities by blowing up the building with wind bombs given to him by Mim (with a warning). The Wolf was quickly apprehended by the guild master Katya who stuck him down like an assassin leaping across the city skyline. Mim was also there to reissue her warnings. The party convened at Mim's to gather more intel on the slumbering princess and how they might retrieve her. In the late eve the wolf made his was to the castle to resolve some frustrations with the help of Beauty, on route he listened in on an argument between Prince Charming and Jack Nimble. Both seem to want to take a different approach to the training of Snow for the war.   The huntsman was nowhere to be seen.   --- We begin with the uncertainty of what the Wolf's actions will bring and the lack of presence of the huntsman the party's voice of reason.
