Things that go *squeak* in the night...

Part the first, Bad Weather.

With Jurgen being sent to the Frugelhorn Valley by his church and picking up a motley crew of escorts with promises of good pay, the party already know their mission and where they have to go.

The Frugelhorn Valley is situated in the Grey Mountains, between the Brettonian city of Parravon and the Imperial town of Ubersreik. This area of the Grey Mountains exists in political limbo with neither the Brettonians or the Imperials being able to claim the territory, despite both trying; it remains something of a tax haven.
The party find themselves in Grunere, stocking up on supplies for the journey into the mountains which should take them about a day to reach La MaisonTaal Monastery to receive proper details about the mission.

The journey was harder going than they thought and they kept losing the track, being unused to the area, and Heinfried was having difficulty navigating the terrain with a group of idiots. It was then that things got worse. The weather in these mountains can be fickle and can change without warning; things got dark, then cold, then the rain started.

They needed shelter and Jules looked for a rock overhang to build a fire. It was then they noticed the light in the distance and, as they got closer, realised it was a mountain shelter with a fire. They doubled the pace towards it.

Drok'Drin got there first and, pulling back the sacking that covered the door, he met the occupants.

A stand-off ensued. They Skaven made no aggressive moves, they just encircled the Warlock that led them, who spoke and told them to leave or die. Jurgen, not realising what was happening, blundered into the situation shaking the rain off his coat; the Skaven drew their swords and Jules pulled him out and the party retreated.
While trying to find alternative shelter, Jurgen swore he saw a bent and stooped humanoid figure on the track in the distance, heading north.
Meanwhile, the Skaven, clearly not wanting a fight, fled the shelter allowing the party to bed down in warmth for the night.
