On the way to Kleinwein...

continued from the previous post ...

The lady Irregulars had been investigating while Mlle Givenchy and Colonel Hofler were busy in Runtsdorf. They'd followed the robed figure back to a vineyard north of Runtsdorf called Kleinwein; owned by a poor noble family the Counts of  Zandeman who resided at the small schloss nearby.   On observation, they found that hunters were bringing in pelts of animals from the Sackwald forest and at the vineyard they were put in barrels for shipment elsewhere.   Discreet enquiries in the area (including numerous inns and bawdy houses) gleaned the information that the whole scheme was run by the wolf chapter of the Brotherhood of Duhn.

---oXo---

In the evening a  message arrived at the inn for Givenchy and Hofler; 'Ready to Move on target, meet by the windmill at Maltdorf just before sunrise'. The next morning Givenchy and Hofler slipped out of the inn and headed out of town ..

They met Lisette at the windmill and followed her towards their target, the vineyard of Kleinwein...

They hurried on; they had to cross the river to meet with the rest of the Irregulars.....

not far ahead they could see the vineyard ....
