Vengeful Notes 2026-09-02

Convergence on Maiden’s Field

The recap and renewed play establish Mallow’s captives and fleshcrafted victims, Reformist manipulation of refugees and institutions, Castle Rannek’s losses, and the allied rescue force converging through Maidensport and Port Mibram.

The Maidenfeld Briefing

At the Spice Company, the party exchanges intelligence with the Maidenfelds about Mallow, Reformist infiltration, regional uprisings, sabotage, magical impostors, trade routes, and endangered captives.

Tea and the Altered Servant

Planning pauses for family and magical-device discussions until Angel discovers that a servant has Mallow’s switched-leg alterations and may have bypassed the household’s magical screening.

Operational Planning and Hag Summons

The allies refine their understanding of Mallow and Reformist logistics, coordinate Maidenfeld and teleportation support, and split attention between Castle Rannek, Maidenfeld Keep, and a streamside attempt to summon a hag.

The Riverside Bargain

A glamoured hag accepts an alliance and sanctuary bargain directed against the Reformists and Children of the Crone, after which the group connects Mallow to Urdefolcin material and prepares to depart.

Open Hooks

• The rescue coalition still lacks confirmed locations or outcomes for Lance, Uther, Kethbjorn, Sandor, the court wizards, Goat’s Head families, and many other missing people. Mallow’s rank, motives, movement, puppet-control mechanism, enhancement orb, gardener identity, relationship to the crones, and intended use of Angel or the Maidenfeld conflict remain unsettled.
• Many Maidensport speakers, family relationships, proper names, magical devices, shard counts, Hellion’s origin, Mallow’s intended residence, and the fate of missing castle employees remain unresolved or acoustically uncertain.
• It remains unknown whether the Baron, Laudine’s household, Leland, and other altered victims can be reached or restored in time; how the servant evaded detection; what Mallow’s needle and the inspection orb can do; and whether the party can obtain more communication devices or safely protect new codes.
• Unresolved operational questions include Mallow’s Face-Stealer facilities, the green liquid and harvested-organ program, the Isana simulacra, access to Sanery, the submarine and remote travelers, the target found through Mallow, Castle Rannek’s immediate danger, and the rules governing hags around Maiden’s Field.
• The hag’s identity, lineage, associates, bargain terms, firstborn clause, promised Feywild journey, sanctuary implementation, relationship to Baba Yaga, and exact alignment against the crones remain uncertain. Mallow’s alleged crone bargain and several identities connected to Malygos also remain unconfirmed.

Confirmations Needed

• Confirm the canonical session date; 2026-09-02 is a contract-valid placeholder because no session date was supplied.
• Confirm canonical spellings and identities including Elion, Herig, Laudine or Lodin or Lodeen, Kelthyr Kulok, Sister Pira, Gwyniviere or Guinevere, and uncertain Maidenfeld-office speakers.
• Confirm whether Crispin Mallow is the gardener-like superior and whether he has a bargain with a crone.
• Confirm the exact identities, terms, and participants in the riverside hag bargain.
• Confirm the identities and current conditions of Lance and the remaining captives.

Boundaries

• The supplied material ends after the Malygos clarification and does not establish subsequent travel, combat, rescue outcomes, or fulfillment of the hag bargain.
• The opening performed recap summarizes earlier events and is not always contemporaneous with active play.
• Several names, speaker attributions, clipped exchanges, and mechanically described effects remain uncertain and are preserved as unresolved rather than canonized.
• Institutional infiltration claims do not implicate every Hicklander, Maidenfeld, Admiralty, Paladinate, or Malthrek member.
• The campaign name and session date were not explicitly included in the supplied scene summaries.
