Despite River Warden Jaromir's instructions, everyone had somewhere else to go other than the Red Orc. Olesya made her way to Marina the Apothecary to get some treatment for her wounds. Although they were well tended and bound, the Barber Surgeon Vyacheslav warned her such bites could well become infected with disease and to keep a watchful eye on it. Olesya agreed to and warned them that the bite may have come from an unnatural creature. The three also discussed the state of the town. On her way, Olesya observed both a loud crowd pushing toward the port and that several Kislevites were posted discreetly to guard her people's quarter. Two much more obvious guards watched the Apothecary's home. Marina informed her that the story was that Rosabella -- the sickly daughter of the countess -- had been cured by the Voice of Sigmar. Marina feared that she and Vyacheslav might face some retribution since they had previously tried (and failed) to effect a cure. Olesya, Mari...
The search for Stephanie Grassermann continued. While Siegfried, Yuric, Berend, and Ploog undertook the search of the Hammer, Olessia met with Marina Ryabov , an apothecary who serves as one of the unofficial leaders of the Kislevite community in Grunwald. Marina and her husband (the barber-surgeon Vyacheslav ) enjoyed good relations with the powers-that-be in the town and had opened their home to Kislevite children whose parents feared more vandalism. Their conversation was cut short when Marina received word that Countess Greta von Webern (ruler of Grunwald and the surrounding county) was making her way by carriage to the town's port. Along with many other curious Grunwalders, Olessia and Marina followed the carriage's progress as armed guards cleared a way down to the harbor. Siegfried, Yuric, and Berend had finished their business aboard the Hammer when the countess's carriage arrived at the harbor, shortly after midday. Reunited with Olessia, they all wat...
Following up on Stephanie Grasserman's account of her night on the run, Olessia, Berend, Yuric, and Siegfried went to investigate the Ferry Terminal building and the nearby home of the River Warden Garald Lebziak and his family. Stephanie had reported hiding in the Terminal until "something horrible" happened at the Lebziak home and she fled. On the way from the Red Orc to the Terminal, the party noted that the Countess and her daughter remained aboard the Hammer (since the guards and carriage remained in place and the common people were still lining up to await a service). The Ferry Terminal was notable only in that it was utterly unoccupied. Although Olessia and Siegfried both attempted a thorough search, they uncovered no specific clues or signs of Stephanie having hidden there. Certainly, there were plenty of places she could have hidden, however. Unbeknownst to her companions, Olessia also gazed at the terminal with her Magic Sense but saw nothing unusual. ...
