Day 12.2 & Day 13: Long Damn Day – Foundry Campaign Compendium

Although our Denizen information flies off into the night, we take out our frustrations on the remaining bats. Mutu, as though on remote control, valiantly battles the beasts until he collapses under the multiple assault. (they REALLY didn’t like him). I manage to dispatch the last one that everyone beat upon.

Upon revival by both Diana and Charles, Mutu lets out a witty quip (he obviously wasn’t himself yet). I make sure to collect some of the claws from the bats [BAT CLAWS] as does Diana (bonding over monster part collection – who knew) We returned to the Golden Stag for some well-deserved rest…Damn dice!

The nightmares returned. Devasting. Agonizing. Horrific. The horned visage in white fur returning to watch me as it twisted my tattoo, implanting more of its evil within me. Fear was its goal, yet, it gave me something I know it didn’t intend. Hope and strengthening of my resolve – My twin is alive!

Morning came too soon and from the looks of it, Charles fared no better than me last night.

I roam the room. To most an aimless wander to soak in the atmosphere. But I listen.
Rumors I have collected:

· Gregor has a upcoming concert coming up that is the talk of the town as he has spared no expense called the Masquerade of Madness (I have a baaaad feeling about this) at his (newly name) House of Exquisite Music

o City still talks about how aggressively he took over the family and declared his father dead 3 years ago

o The doll everyone used to see him with previously hasn’t been seen at all recently

· Andre de Dragffy hasn’t been seen in public for 2 days now. As a renown playboy, this is unusual. (Should probably check this out as he is the youngest of that family)

· Other 5 families haven’t been seen much in public either (scared?)

· Nothing on the black tears/night hexen, but this is the wrong crowd for that

· Whispers of other children in the city falling into coma like states (usually middle & upper class)

o The Rich families are suppressing these rumors, but servants talk (Should speak with them more)

· Beast of Lepidstadt was problem 10 years ago – a Frankenstein monster – Constable and adventuring group took care of it for the city (Need to learn how!!) It brought the sleeping sickness(?) – folks worried it has returned.

Upon joining the others, Charles showed us a letter from Beatrice Baumgardner. Seems he wrote to her to check on the child. Oleksandra is doing worse. They also had a recent break-in at the house here in town. However, Beatrice found a reference to a [KLAUS] in the fog market being a connection to the Toymaker. (Bastard lied to me – but perhaps we can get some more information from him)

Decided to return to KLAUS and discuss information. I wasn’t as helpful this time (annoyed – need to work on that. Grandmother would not be happy with me) but Diana was wonderful and we managed to get a “receipt” for our nut purchase to get the location of the toymaker. Directions to a house in the lower river district (of course). Need to keep the receipt in case Klaus sets us up.

Where do we go from here?
1)      Crafting factory Lavinia told us about and where “Yohan” gave Radu the doll
2)      New location for the toymaker in lower river district
3)      See if we can visit the Baumgardner’s here in town to check on the girl and investigate the break-in
4)      Return to the Bone House (Not sure what else we can discover there right now)
5)      Possibly check on the Draffy family

Need to check my tattoo and see if Charles’ changed as well. May need to visit the library and see if the new tattoo symbols match anything in the special section where Diana was reading.
