Session 17 Report

General Summary

After a period of 4 days wherein the party had split up and went about their own business in town, they received a message whilst having breakfast at the Old Helm's Inn. A bird had arrived carrying the letter they had been waiting for. They headed for Stag Hall and met with the Jarl. The request the Jarl had put in to deal with the Duke of the Pale had been approved, and apparently the local head of the Inquisition had also gotten involved in the matter. The party was instructed to head out after the Duke and gather information on him.
An agent of the Bluecloaks was also said to arrive today to speak with the Jarl. The party also wished to have a word with them, so they asked the Jarl to try and keep them there while they took care of some business in the woods to the east. 
They bought some horses and headed out  to look for the spirit that had been haunting a small lake in the woods to the east. After having trudged through the forests, the party arrived at the lake, finding a house situated in an outcropping in the middle of the lake. Upon investigating the hovel, they found the remains of a small journal detailing the life of the woman from the legend. She had gone mad and had stayed here since the incident, likely hundreds of years ago.
Suddenly they heard a voice from the mist, telling them to leave her home. After a short interaction, the party was set upon by an Ice storm, as Lorelei attacked. Three figures emerged from the water, water spirits driven mad by Lorelei joined the frey. It was a long and hard fight, Grohim almost bit the dust and Rho got charmed by Lorelei, forcing him to attack his allies. After a long fight, the party was victorious and discovered a small crawlspace under the hovel. It contained a small indent in the stone. Around it, a small shrine was made and kept. Whatever was in the indent had been taken some time ago, suggested by the several week old footprints that left the scene heading to the east. 
After more reading through the journal, the party learned that a comet had crashed here, creating the lake. Lorelei built her house on top of the crater and remained here ever since, protecting the comet.
