Day 3, Evening: Finding Sinhild (2021-03-20)
The mysterious letter stated that "My promise will not be broken: you will receive a child."
Ich werde mein Versprechen halten: du wirst dein Kind bekommen.
Due to the current situation - Sinhild is missing, Bryndolf needs protection - the group split up. Since nobody knew if and when Sinhild is found, Ista stayed back for the time the Satyrs arrive. She used her guarding task to brew some minor healing potions in Bryndolf's house because nothing of notice happened.
Serwan did not follow Sinhild and decided to stayed back. He is responsible for the security within the village and cannot leave it. However, he sent two other guards - Tretnar and Asgir - with Avana and Thermon.
After a few hours, the search party caught up to the carriage right before its arrival in Houndrest. Unfortunately, Findar was missing; only Halgrimm, Ashton, and a screaming woman were on the carriage. When noticing the search party (after Thermon's shout to stop), the carriage slowed down and a battle ensued.
Avana tried to open the fight by using her quarterstaff as a lance on Halgrimm but was unable to draw it in time and passed the carriage. Halgrimm jumped over the horse and tried to grab Avana on his way down. He missed Avana because she ducked but was able to stand. The ensuing fight was quite easy thanks to the advantage of numbers. Four versus one was too much for Halgrimm and he was quickly defeated.
The group took him into custody and checked out the screaming lady: it was Sinhild who grew younger and younger. After interviewing Ashton, the group found out that Findar gave her two potions, spoke some magic words. This dishonorable dog just made her drink potions and left her alone.
When the group returned to Gildan, Sinhild lost around 60 years and looked like a young teen around her 14th year again. However, the pain subsided and it seemed that this age was final. The group realized that Findar's letter was quite literal and Bryndolf finally received a child.
Sinhild was brought to bed, Halgrimm was locked into the pantry. Thermon used this opportunity to steal some cheese. After that, the group split off and went back to the inn, had a small dinner and went to bed.
