Cheering in the Mists

General Summary

After the strange things happened in Jenny's hut the adventurers continued their travel. They had a new task and they were committed to accomplish. It did not took very long and they came to a clearing. Whatelse did not take very long was the discovery of a corpse. It was a male body and it had terrible wounds. Marks of fangs and claws. After a more detailed look they found a letter in a pocket. The letter was from the major of {please fill in here}. In the letter the major was lamenting about the loss of his daughter. That she was fallen victim to Lady Paraskeva. The group got the strange but strong impression that this was the person they have to be looking for. But while they were trying to make their minds up, the sound of howling and gnarling dogs or wolves were getting louder and closer. Running away was not an option, at least not for Eva. So they decided to stay and climb the trees. Which also was not an option for Eva. Finally, Szuea and Thaurudriel climbed a tree. The brave Hugur and Eva tested their luck by facing the animals on the ground. They focused their forces on the big direwolf. Obvious the alpha, the leader of the pack. After a short fight they got the alpha animal killed and so the whole encouter ended as quick as it had begun. Without their leader, the other wolves left the area one by one. And they took the corpse with them. Obviously, it was their order to get the corpse and bring it to their owner. Whoever this might be? The adventurers could just have continued their way as planned, previously. But no. Of course, they were too curious about to whom those wolves belonged. So, they followed the tracks and after a while they made a very strange encounter. Strange, even after the events with the old hag. They came across a camp. Colorful wagons stood in a kind of circle and welcoming campfire was dancing in the center. Chatty, slightly dark colored people were moving around. And either they did not have recognized the approaching group of strangers or they just did not care. Definitely they were not the least alarmed or frightened about the battle hardened group of adventurers. Nobody would be able to recollect what had happened, in detail. But in a short time they were sitting together with those wandering people. Dancing, singing, eating and drinking. It seems that this band of free folk was only concered about three things. Gold, stories and Lady Paraskeva. As light-hearted they seemed to be, as much they seemed scared about the Lady Paraskeva. They described her as extremly powerful and that she crushed everybody who tried to oppose her. Beyond that they refused to talk about her. And so the fun event continued. But all the fun will end somewhen. And after some time the group went to the wagon of their kind of chieftain. An elderly woman called {please fill in here}. She seemed to be a fortune teller and a sage. At least she knew about the appearance of the adventurers and she offered them to read their future by asking the cards. Everyone in the group was picking a card as follows: The Philantrophist, the Swashbuckler, the Berserker and the Broken One. Then a young, attractive woman entered the wagon with a babygirl in her arms. The old lady offered the stack of remaining cards to the baby who picked another card. And as that card was revealed everyone got silent. Very, very silent. Even nature around seemed to take a break. It was ... The Darklord!
