The Story Continues...
Errandis scouting as a Great Eagle turns up something interesting. A Township and the Church's Inquisition is preparing to burn a Half-Elf at the stake.
The Guards alert to threats see a Great Eagle power dive toward them. A Crossbow man reacted quickly, perhaps too quickly and accidentally shot a Knight beside him.
Errandis flew by the Half-Elf and Teleported them both a league away. Once there Errandis freed him of his restraints, healed his torture wounds, and loaned him some cloths. His name was Eric Goldfarb, a wanderer. His parents an Elf father and Human Jewish mother raised him in the Barony of Alimar, Cardiel.
They Teleported again the Hallowed Forest were Errandis introduced him to the Companions. He was loaned a Quirked Powerstone which regrew his fingernails and hair. We inquired after his situation.
It appears up until a month ago he was traveling with a gentleman claiming to Jesus for several months and even met Angels who recognized the son of god. His presence felt very much like the Hallowed Forest were we made our base. He was accused of Heresy for passing on the Anti-Christ's message, was convicted by the Church's Inquisition, and was about to be burned at the stake before Errandis's timely rescue.
They were glad Ismael was away infiltrating the Supply Depot at a nearby Keep. It may have been too much for him. He has also been traveling through the area for several months and we extracted as much Intelligence as possible from him. Including the confirmation that Earl Dekamura's Allies are very nervous of our activities in the area.
Letting Eric go at this point would be a problem. We offer to teach him the Shape Shift Great Eagle spell in exchange for his assistance with our mission. He agreed. Errandis Scryeguarded him and asked Fingolfin to alter his cloths to something less conspicuous.
The Good:
Award 1.5 xp
The Bad:
Rufus and Brian are both sick.
The Ugly:
Illuminati the Card Game came out and the rest played. I had to leave early.
