Session 8 - The Inner Wolf and Birth of The Peeky Blinders

Session 8 - The Inner Wolf and The Birth of Peaky Blinders


A few weeks have passed since the overthrow of the old regime. The party is set up at the newly established Albion Castle Adventuring Guild. Settling into their new dwellings, the party explore the guild, wash, feast, drink (some a little too much) and pick their respective rooms.

In the middle of the night, the party are awoken to screams from outside the guild. The party gather to find that Harry is missing from his room. 
Leaving to investigate the scream outside the party find the corpse of a young female woman.
While the party investigate they find familiar wounds on the body before being confronted by not one, but two wolfs.

The party battle the wolfs and find out that the bigger of the two is the Alpha of the back that they encountered on their route to the city. He has come for his "new blood brother". Figuring out that this could mean Harry as he had been bitten by one of the previous wolfs the party take care of the alpha and knock out the other wolf who reverts back to Harry. Not wanting to leave him unsupervised, the party enlist the local city sheriff to lock up Harry for his own / party's protection until they can find a local cleric to remove the lycanthrope curse.  
The following morning arrives and the curse is removed from Harry before all meeting up at the guild. The party is met by the new guild clerk, Shelby.

Shelby goes over the contracts available to the party, they can either sign up as individuals for 1/8th portions of a bounty OR sign up as a party for full contract bounty. The party choose to sign up as a group and name their new organisations: Peaky Blinders. 

Accepting their first contract to investigate the source of illness and death that has swept over the city.  Stop it, and return with a sample of the undiluted cause so the city clerics and come up with an antidote. Unsure of what is causing it, the source seems to be the fresh water supply that runs to the city wells. The party follow the water source north.

On their way to the mountains, the party come across a camp of Trolls and Trollhounds which the party make quick work of.

Eventually finding their way to the mountains where the water streams the party encounter a number of enemies:

Swarm of bats, a squad of old city guards, a Earth Elemental and a number of tiny imps which have killed a previous explorer.
