Path to Hendenburgh
Kryptwood - March 24
Razzy's accounts
Hilda - fungal forager Razzy - half witch Yarrow - greenwise Kalamos - scrivener
Hex crawl to Hendenburgh to the East of Sigisfarne to try find Hildas lost family
Camped on a forested hill, we hear voices approached with caution, Hilda crept up and saw 3 creatures one is 8dt tall muscular (ogre?) and bloody arms, two have a animal heads (hare and boar) fighting the big guy they are nimble and he’s not, they kill him despite his giant size.
Razzy hails them as they walk away SE - noticed they’re athletic scarred, piercings and coloured skin, she pointed to her cravat and they aren’t of the other Fae clan. She asked if they have seen Hilda’s family they haven’t seen them and are from the North they ask us “Do you burn?”
Yarrow replied “we do not burn forest”
They tell us their forest was burned and they have travelled around a wall to get here to avenge the burning. Kalamos writes their story.
Yarrow takes the ogres teeth, it’s covered in lichen cuts off some to regrow and Kalamos sketches whilst Hilda checks out the area.
We camp the night and on her watch Yarrow noticed movement and spears it and flicks it away. In the morning Yarrow shows us the leech.
We continue East, keeping to grassland bit we are approached by creatures on 8 legs and human torsos, they surround us and ask us “Have you seen the Construct” They advised us to stay away from it, it’s a straw effigy with furnace as a heart and to tell them if we see it, they will allow to take haven with them as a reward. Yarrow sketches them. Hilda asks if they saw his family pass by 5 months ago.
We head SE then East then make it to Hedenburgh, deprived but made it safe.

Some avengers
Hilda, Razvan, Yarrow and Kalamos leave Sigisfarne and travel east towards Hendenburgh through the Kryptwood Hilda searches for her family.
On the first night, they camp on a forest hill. Hilda sees 3 creatures. One of them is almost 2.5 meters tall, muscular and has bloody arms. The other two have animal heads and fight the big one.
The two smaller creatures are victorious and leave. Razzy follows them and points to her cravat, which they don’t recognise. The two creatures explain that the forest was burned and that they travelled searching for the culprits.
Arachnid people
The group continues East and is approached by creatures on eight legs and human torsos. They look for a Construct and advise that it is dangerous. It is a straw effigy with a furnace heart.
The group arrives in Hendenburgh after the third day of travel. They are very tired.
Epilogue
When the group arrives in Hendenburgh, they see a village living in fear. People were shuttering themselves away and avoiding contact, buildings choked with vines as if the Kryptwood was trying to reclaim its land, and there was nothing louder than a whisper on the common grounds.
The proprietor of the local Galloping Goat Inn, the jovial Mrs Winstaple, is quick to take their money to allow them to sleep there. She mentions remembering those strange mushroom sellers and that after their business failed to take off in Hendenburgh, she took pity on them and told them that if they were really in a tough bind, they might try their luck with the cunning women living in the Kryptwood, but to treat them with respect. They left the next morning to seek out the women.
