Thanks for the comments, Ron!

I feel like I should recognize that pic you used for Ardonk but I don't. Looks like a Talon Dunning, but from where?
Indeed, most probably taken from Talon's website. The pic was named Naaman, but I felt this serious caracter worked well for Ardonk Szerieza, for which there are no pics available IIRC?
Ethelild (Ardonk's clerical sister) is also from Talon.
I have a bank of 7 500 RL or creepy images, ready to be used in a campaign. All classified by theme folders, of course.
"A werewolf tribe that is not war oriented"? Good luck with that! Do you have something in mind?
No, compared to other more militant Verbrek tribes, this is just a werewolf tribe looking to be normal werewolves in the forest. Not looking for control over the whole area through war or politics like most of the other tribes. Just hunting stuff passing by and be happy. I don't know if they will be back, nothing planned so far for these unless thay plan to get rid of Nathan's heart (isn't this a cool werewolf relic?
)
The restoration ritual is very cool. Nice use of the vistani's time-affinity to flavor it! Going to steal that for sure....
Thanks. I had fun planning this, and used the opportunity to pass cool lore on vistanis. Including of course, the Lunadi night where they leave the camp for mysterious reasons. The player was left alone in the deserted vistani camp and quite uneasy with the situation
It was very cool.
For the ritual itself, I liked the idea that they would travel back in time and changed how things happened, with the interposing vistani staff.
I also liked the idea of an uncanny mist travel while led by Marcella, the young vistani, and the fact that Madame Eva was letting Marcella do the powerful ritual, hinting that Marcella is very powerful too.
I didn't remember that bit about the girl's soul they need to return. I would think that would be a pressing concern for them! I mean, it's not an emergency, but the longer they wait, the longer she lives as a changeling!
This comes from a while ago, when they faced Azenwrath in Canondale. At the same time, they learned things about the feys with Martha's changeling story (which was taken as is from VRGttF)
Indeed, it took a while to get back there, but they had more pressing things to do I guess
So this soul button return closed this little fey story arc, and it was fun. IMC, I wanted feys to be in the background and liked the idea that they would be a bit threatening (not your pink butterfly fairy).
Another try at creating a spooky atmosphere IMC.
[DM's note on Weissritter is missing the session number it references.]
Thanks! Session 10. That was while going through Evil Eye.
Hmm.. Laurie and a von Zarovich... there's a nice pairing! (I just noticed that that guy's name is "Weissritter" - litterally "White Knight" in German. cute.)
NPC straight from LoftB. I used him to make the PCs jealous of the twin's attention. Worked well
Another NPC seeded apparition, but no plans for this guy for now.
He is named in the Von Zarovich Legacy book they got a while ago, but they didn't make the connection yet
Very cute note from Daclaud to McClintock! Good idea!
My version of Bleak House is full of spidery webs
I loved the idea that Daclaud would excuse not "finding the time" to visit Mordent's sanitarium
Isn't it a letter from a caring professional?
And that Van Richten's trap to get him to Dominia was planned in all fine details. You'll see more letters from Daclaud in the next sessions.
When Van Richten came to consult McClintock for his nightmares troubles, McClintock showed the letter to Van Richten. After reading it, and recognizing his own symptoms, VR was now hopeful that his nightmares could be treated ... *grin*
