Rendar's Field Report
We head to the library to look into the town and horrorspawn that may masquerade as people.
Voslooshold - there’s a sworn brotherhood of adepts that defend the place.
Teras starts wearing all kinds of superstitious protections against horrorspawn.
Teras navigates a fast route through the mountains.
Day 3
We come across 5 dire wolves roaming the foothills. They move to circle us. Amhrann hits one, but is knocked down by another one. Rendar and Quechir attack one wolf, then attract the attention of 4 of them. Once Quechir moves out of the way, Dale launches a Phantom Fireball at all four of them, wounding them all, and killing the injured one. Calina tries to lock onto their Patterns.
The wolves close with the magicians (and Scout), and are blasted by another Fireball. When only 2 remain, they flee the area.
We walk a bit more to find a place for Dale to cast Shelter, Heat some Food, then bunk down for the night.
Day 4 - Voslooshold
We arrive at the town. Taras and Dale scout ahead to take a look. Everything looks normal for a prosperous town. They return unmolested. Astral Space is Tainted.
We all approach the town as if nothing is wrong. Amhran greets the farmers with big smiles. One of the kids runs off into the town.
Four adepts approach us:
Kere Stoah - Windling Swordmaster
Ekriudrah Vaisiw - Human Warrior
Thaat Utu - Dwarf Magician
Ceaful Voil - Obsidiman Archer
Amhran brings up the reports of undead. Kere sighs and says, “You’re here about Sammy.” Sammy became undead. He’s not hurting people. After we perform greeting rituals, we’re brought farther into the town.
They tell us that a few months ago they had some trouble. A hunter, Sammy, had gone missing. They found Sammy had become a Cadaverman. However, he approached and talked to us, using his white shirt as a flag. Now he has a high pain threshold. They keep him locked up in a cottage, just to be safe. They looked for whatever turned him, it seems to be gone, and no one else has gone missing since. After some discussion, we’re told we can see him tomorrow.
We decide it’s better to stay outside of town in our own camp.
In the middle of the night, Quechir notices something, freaks out, and moves into the woods. This wakes up the rest of the party. We spot a short, twisted form (Kreescra) sneaking into the camp. It sighs and says, “Fine, we’ll do it this way. Attack!”
As Taras gets up, he spots 3 of the Adepts surrounding the camp. Dale leaps up and casts Phantom Fireball on the campsite, catching Ekriudrah and the Kreescra in the blast. Ceaful shoots Amhran in the back, knocking her our of the air, then hides again.
Taras shoots the Kreescra in the back, wounding it. Thaat moves in and casts Mind Dagger at Dale. Rendar rides around and kills the Kreescra. Ceaful doesn’t fire.
Thaat shakes his head, coming out of it’s control. He recognizes the corpse as a Kreescra. In the morning, we all head back to town and burn the bodies of Sammy and the Kreescra.Statistics:Posted by Dougansf — Fri Jan 22, 2021 3:07 am
