Warhammer: Not a character journal

velvetpageA great deal happened in game last night, but a lot of the stuff I need to remember didn’t happen to my character, so I’m starting with a third-person narrative, mostly so I don't forget in the two weeks before our next game (drat those holidays that get in the way of good gaming!) I'll follow this with a character journal.
Mallion had gone off promising to ensure that the pirates gave our ship back, repaired, without us having to pay them. His plan was to rough up Nana D’Naufragios a bit and threaten her and her family if she didn’t give in to his demands. Unfortunately, Nana D’Naufragios was a tough old lady who did not surrender, and Mallion was grieving and not thinking straight after days almost totally alone. So when the old lady refused to surrender, Mallion killed her in her bed.
Then, as the house started buzzing with angry D'Naufragios who had heard their matriarch scream, one person separated himself from the crowd and went to a rowboat, ostensibly to row out to our ship with a message. He went alone, so Mallion approached him, too. It was Guiseppe, the man who had taken Lorandara and Altriona to the city two days before. Unfortunately, he didn't surrender either, and Mallion, enraged, killed him too. Then Mallion flew off to a secluded place on the mainland to recover from his grievous wounds.
He roused from his fitful sleep in the crotch of a tree to see some sort of magical ceremony taking place. A group of beastmen were gathered around a crude stone altar, chanting in a language Mallion didn't know that was not Tilean, and appearing to sacrifice a young human man. Mallion was overwhelmed by the magic in the ceremony and fainted. When he awoke, a young beastman with a human body and the head of a goat was watching him from some distance away. They conversed, and Mallion was offered food and wine off the altar. (I missed part of this conversation; Piet, if you could fill me in I'd appreciate it.)
That's it for this part of the write-up. Character journal to follow this evening, since I seem to have used up my early wake time.
