Image
   On the 23rd of May 2026, I ran the 14th sessions of my home Enemy Within Campaign.  11th of Nachexen, 2512,  The edge of the Reiker Marshes The Vagabonds run the reikermarshes, with Yela  Holtsgutter as their huffer.  Shortly after setting off , as they pass Castle Reikguard, they witness an eagle. It rises out of the reeds carrying something. The snake, for that it what it is, twists and strikes at the eagle. Moments later the eagle falls from the sky, dead, landing on the deck, dead. The serpent quickly slithers overboard, into the water.  Later in the day, as they creep though the marshes, they see a family of river trolls in the distance, moving in a sedge bed. Evening brings them to Fielbach. 12th of Nachexen, 2512,  Fielbach. The Vagabonds set out on what while be the last leg of their journey. River traffic gets thicker, and signs of civilisation are everywhere. Not least of which is a river patrol shipsword, that comes along s...

  On the 4th of May 2026, I ran the 13th sessions of my home Enemy Within Campaign.  An hour before noon, 8th of Nachexen, 2512, Kemperbad Diethard, makes a visit to  Blutwahler’s a well respected trader in fine brandy, squeasing into the store front barely wider than he is, and speaks with the man behind the counter. There is some discussion of price, and Diethard finally settles on a budget of a crown. He pays to have the dusty bottle sent to his opponent,  Udos Aschaffurt. Connie and Erik, wait nearby.  Thanks to a short lull in the blizzard, they are able to note that very few building have smoke coming from their chimneys.  Noon, 8th of Nachexen, 2512, Kemperbad The vagabond convene at the Court House to join the Gravin. They listen as the case is argued by the Gravin's new lawyer(a very out of his depth lawyer). Eventually the Gravin is forced to request trial by combat. An hour past noon, 8th of Nachexen, 2512, Kemperbad Diethard finds himself on the...

The Enemy Within Prologue: The Manic Street Preacher of Kemperbad (Session 12)

On the 1st of May 2026, I ran the 12th sessions of my home Enemy Within Campaign. A belated May day to you all. Morning 6th of Nachexen, 2512, The Lorley.  Snow falls on the crew and passengers, including the Gravin (who has come aboard hoping to avoid further interference from D ammenblatz ), a small portion of her staff, Maria, and  Pompai. Ahead, the Lorley rise out of the water.  Josef puts Erik on the tiler for his first taste of a real navigation hazard, and calls on the vagabonds to help with the navigation. A very cold and sorry for himself looking  Diethard refuses however, and goes below to warm up. Connie meanwhile spots several threats and calls them out. So, with  Josef's tuition, Erik is able to just, shakily guide the ship through safely. A couple of hours later the barges pulls into  Achern. Some cargo is unloaded, other cargo taken on, including a passenger, one  Heinrich ‘The Grouch’ Marken.  The rest of the day is spend sailing ...
