Session 28

PCs (lvl 7): Flynn, Tuarninn, Udo

MR 673 - Winter

The PCs investigate the murder scene, coming to the conclusion that this will is only the beginning of a streak of ritualistic murders. When dwarven shield-bearers arrive to take the matter into their own hands, Ulrich offers the assistance of the Watch to solve the case.

The others move to their appointment at the Axe and Hammer, where they're welcomed by Grodni Surehammer. They enjoy dwarven hospitality, and a vast selection of dwarven beers. After an evening of drinking contests and songs, a special beer is brought to the tavern, a novelty from the famous Borgun's Brewery. But the more the guests drink of this beer, the more a dark fury rises in their souls, pushing them to murderous violence. Flynn is also affected by the curse, and begins to lash out against the dwarves.

A chaotic brawl begins, with a few veteran dwarves taking up their axes and slaughtering their own brethren in frenzied rage. The party tries to contain the situation, knocking out as many dwarves as they can manage and trying to limit lethal wounds. When the last of the dwarves falls to the ground, the effects of the frenzy end, leaving both Grodni and the PCs with a lot of unanswered questions. The PCs plan to pay a visit to Borgun's Brewery.
