Mourningfall
Mourningfall
A mining town that remembers the fire and forgets the people who died in it.
Thirty years ago half of Mourningfall burned. The mine was sealed, the church fell, and the town settled into a habit of remembering the fire and forgetting nearly everything else. Every year it holds the Festival of Remembrance. Nobody in it pays for anything. Nobody can say exactly who is missing.
Into this town come five strangers with their own reasons: a paladin of Torm, a duelist bard, a tiefling who keeps a notebook he cannot read aloud, a rogue with a bad rash and a worse track record with strangers, and, after a long time in a green crystal, an old priest of Lathander who was once the town's own. This is their story so far. It is a slow, strange, sometimes funny mystery, and it is played live on Tuesday nights.

Faithful in the Field
Tüül finds a gravestone with his own name on it, and digs. Tamsin warns the party off, and the church on the hill is made whole.
Where we stand
After Session 12 the party is four. Tüül Oakencask is gone, and the church on the hill is whole again.
- Behind the church, Lavius found a thirty-year-old gravestone: "Here rests Tüül Oakencask. Keeper of the sun's office, faithful in the field." Tüül dug, found his own body inside, and went back into the earth as petals and green leaves. The whole hill turned green. The GM revealed he had been sent by Chauntea, the Earth Mother.
- Tamsin stepped out of the trees, put Lavius to sleep, and told Owlin to leave Mourningfall tonight, or "wake something that has been sleeping for thirty years, and it will not be gentle."
- Aelion's blessings drew five hidden lines out of the bell, ending with "Hush, hush. The hungry one is kept."
- La Maestra let the golden shard fly into the reliquary, and the church healed: roof, pews, bell tower and the sun on the wall. The shard now floats inside the closed reliquary, and Aelion does not like leaving it.
- Aelion shouted into the rain: "Tamsin! You'll know where to find us." Calder Finn, the ale merchant, arrives tomorrow.
