Witch Hunting
October 1228 - Adventure 28
As agreed at the last Tribunal, the four magi head to the Cambunian Mountains to hunt down the Daughters of Erichtho. They join the expedition together with Lancea Tremeristes of Gigas and Tryphonas Flambonistes of Favonius, all under command of the Polemarch, Maria Laskarina Guernicuistes of Polyaigos.They remove Tryphonas from the mission not long after its start, because they suspect that he has become violent due to infernal influence suffered during the attack on the lover of the Emperor of Thessalonica. After that, they rescue magus Svegner ex Miscellanistes of Erebos from a coven of witches, who turn out to be Stringlas instead of the Daughters of Erichtho. They proceed to wipe out two other covens, leaving those they consider innocent in the hands of Maria Laskarina to be taken into a nunnery to redeem themselves. As they are about to leave, the magi of Ouroboros find the real Daughters. They conclude that they are a magical tradition instead of an infernal one, and that they are actually working together with the Thessalian Witches of Erebos. So they decide not to tell the rest of the hunting party about them. Grateful to them, Destasia offers Charis to join the Witches of Thessalia, to which she replies she'll think about it.
