After eating breakfast and hearing of rumours of troubles
around the land the group decide to mount up and head south west.
Eventually they come across a mud brick hut on the marsh
with animal bones and fetishes dangling from the porch, at the front gate there
is a bell.
Natalia rings the bell and eventually an old lady appears at
the door and is instantly recognised as one of the guests at the dancing lady’s
feast. She invites the group in for a cuppa and a chat.
During the conversation she mentions the presence of willow-o-wisps
to the south and gives Kyrander a picture book to keep the ranger quiet. The old lady asks the group if they would
kindly pick up any black rattle cap mushrooms for her on their journey.
Knowing where the mushrooms where the group head South East
and easily collect more than the lady requires before returning to her hut to
deliver the goods.
The group then head west though dense forest and shrubs to
find an elderly gentleman examining a wooden log full of bugs and sitting
patiently near by was a black puma wearing smoke coloured tinted goggles.
The group announce their presence to the eccentric gentleman
who takes a few minutes to look them over and then introduces himself as the “Mad
hermit” to the group and asks what they want.
The group explain the reasons they are travelling through
the land and try to engage the hermit in conversation but he just ignores them
and eventually they decide to leave the hermit alone.
The group continue to head west past the now deceased
sycamore tree and continue west past the elven keep of the dancing lady.
They then turned North West
through more dense forest.
They soon find an area of moss, fallen trees and cave
hollows where Kyrander spots tracks at the area, quite possibly from an hodag
(reptilian) both old and fresh.
Kyrander attempts to follow the tracks with the group
following closely behind.
He eventually finds a hollow underneath an mound of leaves
and thinks the creature is in there.
Otto suggests that everyone hides whilst he throws something
into the hollow but before that could happen the hodag exploded from under the
pile and charges at the party.
Otto fires at the magical creature and hits.
Kyrander fires his magical beast bone arrow at the creature
hitting and damaging the creature.
Natalia begins to casts a spell (call lightening)
Vaneer runs in avoiding giving the creature an opportunity
to attack and hits the creature.
Being the closest target the creature critically claws, gore
and tailslaps Vaneer seriously injuring the cleric.
Miro attacks and misses.
Otto magic missiles the creature.
Kyrander shoots another arrow only to miss.
Natalia calls down a bolt of lightening but the creature
just avoids the electrical damage.
Natalia then casts a flaming sphere and hurts the creature
with the ball of fire.
The Creature then hits Bob as the badger leaves it self open
to an attack as he races into attack and hits the creature.
Vaneer hits back and critically injures the creature.
The Creature hits Bob with it claws and then misses Miro
with its tail.
The Creature then hits Vaneer with its bite, gore and claw
dropping the cleric to the ground.
Otto casts magical missile killing the creature.
Natalia races over to Vaneer and casts stabilise on the
cleric.
Kyrander then administers Vaneer with a cure light potion
bringing the cleric back round.
Vaneer then slowly works at healing himself and Bob before returning
to the city.
