Andric Vogel's Journal Vol I

Note:
(Wellentag=Monday, eight days in week. YoE=Year of Empire, 33 Days in Pflugzeit, 3rd month of the 12 month year)


Untergarde, 2522 YoE, Bezahltag, 8th day of the month of Pflugzeit:

Combat with band of Beastmen on bridge, thrown together with other band of like-minded young men who assist in holding the bridge. Luther, a Hunter. Diebold, a squire who is a whirlwind with his sword. Oldric, a Wizard's Apprentice, and a swordsman named Rudiger. The Wizard was a staunch ally, causing the chaos creatures to drop their weapons time and time again, though he will bear watching, as all his kind do.



Forced to leave town with band of refugees in trail as an army of several hundred beastmen approaching ruined town. Limited supplies.


Through the Drakwald, 2522 YoE, Konistag, 9th Day of the Month of Pflugzeit:

Passed through a ruined town on road north.


Through the Drakwald, 2522 YoE, Angestag, 10th Day of the Month of Pflugzeit:

Another ruined town, this one attempting to rebuild, and had a quite rude squire in service to a local lord who was less than willing to accept our word that a beastmen army marched North behind us. Chaos has less labor to perform with the likes of that fool working with blinders on.

Through the Drakwald, 2522 YoE, Festag, 11th Day of the Month of Pflugzeit:

Located an ambush site today. Approximately 15 dead in the ambush, Goblins, from what we were able to tell. Indications are they were a merchant family and guards.

Father Dietrich fell into a hidden staked pit dug to stimey any charge at the ambushing archers. Dietrich died after giving us a holy relic he claimed to be an icon of Sigmar. We shall bring his body to the Morr's park in Middenheim.

Granny Moescher, the elderly woman who was responsible for aiding the youngest refugees and orphans, acted strangely at the site of the ambush, muttering about a small town where her father was killed for nothing.


Through the Drakwald, 2522 YoE, Wellentag, 12th Day of the Month of Pflugzeit:

Granny Moescher accused of witchery by a party of Elves chance met in the forest as Moesher was collecting herbs. Never thought to see so many, let alone so hostile. We and Moescher convinced them no foulness was afoot and told them of the Beastmen making their way north behind us. They left, thanking us for the information and intent on slaying some of the Beasts..


Through the Drakwald, 2522 YoE, Aubentag, 13th Day of the Month of Pflugzeit:

Moescher caught perfoming a dark ritual involving the ruinous powers. We interrupted her dark magics, disrupting her ritual. She begged for forgiveness from the gods and wailed out her death rattle as the backlash of the dark powers she tried to harness took her to the abyss. We spared most of the refugees this knowledge, only telling the captain under the most forceful of questioning. Destroyed the blasphemous book she carried with her.


Through the Drakwald, 2522 YoE, Marktag, 14th Day of the Month of Pflugzeit:

A day away from the city, and we camp with a roadwarden patrol promising to assist us the rest of the way into the City of the White Wolf as we camp in the ruins of one of the great coaching inns that used to cover this route.


The City of Middenhiem, 2522 YoE, Backertag, 15th Day of the Month of Pflugzeit:

The City of the White Wolf is sorely damaged, but stands proudly a the top of the Fauschag still, her walls beaten, but unbroken. Many refugees. Shall sleep in park tonight.


The City of Middenhiem, 2522 YoE, Bezahltag, 16th Day of the Month of Pflugzeit:

Found lodgings at a Halfling-run establishment for us all, though some seem bent on going their seperate ways. Rudiger disappeared soon after, and had seemed nervous from the instant the gates came into sight.


The City of Middenhiem, 2522 YoE, Konistag, 17th Day of the Month of Pflugzeit:

Went to temple, had run-in with ruffians assaulting a young girl for her food. Ruffians will not assault anyone else. Met with High Capitular and gave my report. Gave over the Icon of Sigmar into his care. High Capitular summoned Father Morten, a scholarly priest, to study the icon and verify it, if he can. Others wandered city in an attempt to get bearings and find work. Both difficult. Oldric went to find the Wizard and Alchemist Guild and petition for his joining them.


The City of Middenhiem, 2522 YoE, Angestag-Aubentag, 18th-21st Day of the Month of Pflugzeit:

Temple life is temple life. I love Sigmar as well and as strongly as any other man of the Empire, yet I grow weary of cloister and wish to come to grips with the dark forces plagueing Sigmar's chosen. I hear that Luther and Diebold have been hunting the base of the mountain here, bringing back game for the people. Father Morten has been requesting further information and research materials from the Dwarfs here, and I have met one of them, Throngor. I have aquired a journal and writing kit, and shall keep my history and thoughts here. What has come before in this book was written down from memory, and therefore has less detail than I would wish.
