Council Meeting
Story: A Pilgrimage for Vis
Adventure Summary
Following the notes left behind by Leonardus, Wolfgang and Marcus went to a cave a few miles away from the covenant on the 15th August, in order to harvest vis from the "miraculous waters" in that cave.
Arriving there they found the cave occupied by the people of Undervelier, a priest conducting mass. After entering the cave, and fearing that the mass could somehow diminish the amount of vis, Wolfgang tried to pass for a messenger of Mary and lead the people away from the cave, and he did so by casting a CrIg spell to shroud himself in a halo of light. Unfortunately the magus underestimated the effects of his spell. The light blinded several people, and the villagers fled the cave in fear, causing havoc and mayhem.
Afterwards, the magi where able to gather the vis and return to Tugurium. Wolfgang presented the situation to the council, which after deliberation, ended on an inconclusive tone regarding what steps (if any) should be taken in order to ease the harvest next year.

- Vis harvest: 3 pawns of Creo vis
- The magi were able to harvest from the source and bring back 3 pawns of Creo.
- The rumors going around say that the cave is indeed holy, and that a demon tried to hinder the Mass, but Mary sent an angel to scary the foul creature.
- It seems that "the angel's holy light" permanently blinded Father Samuel, the priest from Undervelier.
- The usage of folk charms increased between the people of the valley.
- Father Luc, the priest from Chatillon, is displeased with the scholars from Tugurium attending mass in the cave (which he deems too much pagan) instead of going to the village's church.
- To the moment, no one traced the events back to the magi of Tugurium.
