RIP Twysen

Yup, another dnd post, mainly for Marie's benefit as she was not there, and I'm guessing may want to know a few details. People who where there, and remember stuff I have forgoten, please add details as a comment, cause my memory is not that good.

Short summery of previous few sessions: The group had been investigating a murder, and feeling like we were running around in circles. We stumbled across the house of lady Andrea Dawkins who freeeeked us out rather allot by repeatedly offering tea and apearing to forget stuff all the time, and also by having doors without key holes that where perminantly locked. We finaly got a break when someone offered to sell us info in return for some crystal sheets, and informed us that is was Lady dawkins commiting the murders. We staked out her house, and managed to piss off the neighbors and have difficulty with the guards who didn't like us hanging around, and very nearly sent Betty to an insane assylumn. We followed her to that Inn we always visit that I have forgotten the name of, and while most of us got arrested, Sam followed her, interupped a murder, and followed her to a grave yard. He was prevented from going any further when he ran into large hideous monster. We regrouped, killed said monster and went into the underground thingy (me no good with words today) eventualy finding a room occupied by a vampire, who quickly charmed everyone but Joanne and Twysen, as Twysen was busy stealing the record from the gramaphone, and Joanne was preventing a stream of blood from reaching the alter where the body of Lady Andrea lay. Arineal broke down at the prospect of having a real friend. Twysen joined in stopping the blood, but eventually Joanne was charmed. Several of us left Twyen managed to set fire to, and kill the vampire with a spell, stopped the ritual and stole the book from which the spell seemed to be driven. Several of the charmed people when he informed us of what had happened re-claimed the book, re started the ritual, and Lady Andrea was only prevented from being turned into some undead abomination when the charm spell wore off and they managed to close the book and smoosh her body into a pulp.
We returned to the Ichanii to inform them we had destroyed the murdered, they exclaimed that it didn't matter and sent us to investigate a village they had lost contact with.

The group reached Destar, and entered the town. Almost imediatly people started to recognise Twysen, hailing him as a hero for escaping the slavers. We made our way to Harveys house, which was a small cottage that was well tended with a very nice garden, next to a river. Joanne had second thoughts about being reunited with him, and eventualy decided to pick the lock and sneak in and suprise him. She was interupeted by a passer by who informed the group that he hadn't seen Harvey in a long time. Paniked, Joanne searched the house assisted by Sam, while another person came and talked to the group. Sam jumped out the back window, Joanne enterd via the front, and told the man that Harvey was her sort of ex boyfriend and she was lookign for him. He pointed out that Harvey stayed at the monastry, about an hours walk away, and left. They group went to an inn, which demeanded that they not carry weapons. Everyone buut Sam handed them over, Sam showed his Ichanii ring and said he would not go unarmed. When he noticed the group of Monks eating, he also exclaimed that it was rather unfair. He was allowed to keep his weapons and we all ordered the spiecials, Betty managing to intimidate the waitor rather badly, who reacted by giving Betty their strongest ale.

There was a man and a woman on another table who joined us. Betty took a great liking to the man who looked, big, strong slow and stupid like him and whom judging by their handshake would be a challenge for Betty to beat up. Evntualy everyone went to bed. In the morning Joanne recruited Twysen to come to the Monastary with her and find Harvey. Twysen had a hangover.

*I paid very little attention to what was happening with Betty and Sam, having had little sleep and being unable to focus well. I shall relate what I gathered, but I don't mind much not knowing all that much of what they did, cause it eliminates the need for me to remember that Joanne doesn't know. So yay.*

Twysen and Joanne reached the monastary and realised that the Brothers where busy with their daily meditation, and probably wouldn't be around for a while. Twysen found himself a clasic meditation garden and meditated, while Joanne paced nervously. Eventualy the brothers started to complete their meditations, and Joanne talked to one she recognised (whom did not recognise her) and found out Harvey would be a while, and offered to tell him that she was looking for him. He also suggested she join them for breakfast. She agreed, and went to find Twysen so he could also join them, but as he was meditating rather better than she would have suspected he didn't react to her at all. She had breakfast, and Harvey came downstairs resulting in them running towards each other (Harvey apearing to move in slow motion) hugging, and then Harvey saying "Can we get married now:" in a very sleazy voice.

Joanne agreed, and they where swamped by monks, and also twysen who had apparently heard the news through his meditations and was very excited.

"Congratulations!" exclaimed a random monk, "Now you can adopt children!"
Joanne began to thank him and then realised what he was saying "Adopt?" she shot a look at harvey.
Another monk joined them "Did I hear you where adopting children? How wonderful."

When the monks backed off a bit, Joanne asked harvey about the significance of this, and told him she hoped in meant there was not going to be anything missing from the ceremony.

Soon after they left the monastry and went to return to the Inn. Twysen followed at a short distance while eating an apple in a rather disturbing way. He also managed to choke himself on it at some point.

Joanne and harvey spent ages trying to work out how her mother would react to the news and whether they should tell her. The suspected reaction started with somehow convincing her that yes, this was her daughter, and continued with her exclaiming that now Joanne was so tall she could find an excelent marrige for her, and when they told her that they planne to be married, quizing them on when and how many children they planned to have, and then pulling her aside to discuss the birds and the bees. Twysen constantly suggested NOT telling her, which they eventualy decided on.

They returned to the inn. They had been sitting there for a while when a group of people with wooden swords and pikes ran past. The checked to see nothing too scary was going on, and then went to go and get their marrige registered at the town council. It turned out it would take 4 days to get the certificate.

The seremony would be done in the monastary and part of it involved meditating from sunset to sunrise while three significant people from their lives chanted for twelve hours. Twysen agreed to chant on Joannes behalf. They also decided to wait till her father returned from a mission.

Sam and Betty returned, telling them they had been 'training recruits' and something about a smuggling opperation.

The next day they decided to go investigate the village the Ichanni had lost contact with. Arineal stayed in the inn, possibly having found himself a boy friend *insert horrible suggestions* They went to the village and wound that all the buildings where spattered with blood. There where some burrnt out buildings. They searched several buildings finding the contents of them smashed and evidence of blood everywhere. In one building it apeared a stand had been made, baricades had been put up, and then destroyed from the inside. Twysen found a barn with dead animals inside many bones and a dead cow whose insides and one leg had been eaten. We looked for tracks, but these had been washed away by rain. Twysen had a conversation with a seagul that had alot of attitude, and it told him that bad people had burnt some of the buildings, and retrated to the forrest "...big trees there." there was also something that implied that they may have left with more of the bad things than there had been to begin with.

The group moved back to where they had seen some red eyed creatures in the shrubs, and decided to go into the forest. 
 
Hum, feeling lazy again, shall write mure on this later.
