Demon Hunter Hammer 8 16 13 Game Notes




Present Time
The game began with a furious chase. The group was in a prison wagon, with Alf driving, Heinrich riding shotgun and the rest in the back. They were being chased by another wagon and four horsemen, with a Feathered Fiend riding on the roof of the wagon chasing them. Geita and Hans were barely conscious, battered and tortured, as the carriage bounced along, their getaway in jeopardy.  

Yesterday
Heinrich was back from the keep with a rescue party to discover the location of the others and rescue them. He had an iron breaker dwarf named Gotrek, a war dancer  elf named Alf, a initiate of Ranald named Rosenrot, and a Fire Wizard named Faya. The group went back to the Schmutzplatz. There, they debated about where to go. Heinrich confirmed the chaos bird was still in the bird seller’s shop and then went to the soup kitchen. The pretty priestess of Shallya was missing, and her fellows were very worried about her. She went missing earlier in the week, the same time that five wizards disappeared.

A Few Days Before
The game flashed to Hans, Geita, Franz, and Kat. They were being kept in a dark, damp room and Hans and Geita were strapped to torture tables. They were being tortured by the pretty priestess of Shallya who had just force fed more eggs to Franz. Bobo the parrot and his servant the bird seller were also there. When Bobo landed on Hanz the former watchman tried to bite the demon which caused more torture. Then, masked cultists led by one named Blue Orchid came and looked Kat over. With an ominous “you’ll do” the courtesan was led away as the others could only watch.

Present Time
The riders were gaining on the group with both parties trading gunfire. The bird creature seemed somewhat familiar, and attacked. Faya started attacking the demon, while Alf used the carriage to smash one of the riders into the wall.

Yesterday
With the group investigating the Schmutzplatz, Heinrich decided to concentrate on searching out any places the Priestess could have received medical care, but others wanted to investigate the sewers where the party was last seen. The compromise was a split party with the cleric and iron breaker sneaking into the old clock tower. Rosenrot made  huge distraction so the dwarf was able to sneak in. There, he almost immediately encountered a rat catcher. He bribed him with a great amount of silver for information. The Rat Catcher said that there was big commotion and described a cart with a noisy wheel taking everyone away.

Meanwhile, after checking on the hospitals and Shallyan temples in the area, the rest of the group left for the clock tower.  

Not who we were dealing with
Present Time
Rosenrot joined the attack on the demon bird and killed it, ending the life of the transformed Franz demon. Bullets continued to land around the cart even as Hans and Geita stirred to consciousness. Alf through his amazing driving continued to evade the riders and smashed one more.

Yesterday
The group reconvened in the clock tower and went into the sewers. The site of the battle with the bird demons and cultists was bricked up. They broke through, but it was empty, though the room smelled like death. They left for the bird seller.

Heinrich led the group to the bird seller’s shop. There, he found the other birds murdered and upstairs, also found the bird seller killed. He had been nailed to the wall with symbols of Tzeentch pained everywhere. Bobo was missing. They did find the bird seller’s journal where he talked about having a cart with a messed up wheel among other information.

They noticed there was a wagon repairman across the street so they went over. They paid the man to look at their own cart, then asked him about the bird seller. The wagon seller said he had always found the man creepy and had that the man had a cart with a noisy wheel. Recently, he heard that cart around the docks.

The group went to the docks and found the selller’s cart and a carriage that looked like a prison carriage with horses attached. After asking around and finding out that a hot blond chick matching the description of the Shallyan priestess had been going in and out of the area they located the right warehouse.

Bobo the Evil
They waited until 1am, then attacked. Inside they found Hans and Geita still alive, but barely. Torture implements were around, and the room smelled like blood and shit. The group rescued their companions and as they did the priestess attacked from her hiding place and was killed. Then, the group carried Hans and Geita to the cart in an attempt to get away. Quickly, they were spotted and pursued by cultist on horses, another wagon, and demon Franz.  

Present Day
Finally, with Alf’s amazing driving skills and some amount of sheer dumb luck, the group was finally able to kill all the riders and disable the other wagon, getting away. They were left with the lingering question of what to do next and where was the missing Kat?
