10th Rova 18 - Almost Plagued to Death

Again as the group awakes, Vaneer casts Heroes feast for them to devour.  Once ready they continued along the path and after an hour it leasd into a clearing surrounded with bent trees tangled together with a dozen houses combined together into one whole odd-looking structure that had smoke rising from a number of its chimney's.  One end of the clearing was filled with sharp poisonous brambles that seemed intent on engulfing everything around, whilst the other side contained neat herb gardens with meticulously planted rows of varying mundane and exotic flora.

The group approach the building and as they get close one of the doors opens causing them to pause and wait to see what happens next.  A large purple head with tangled long black hair suddenly pokes its head (a Hag of some sort) and appears to wave at the group and then disappears back inside the building.  A little bewildered at the pleasantry shown to them the group decide to leave the Hag alone and continue along the path.

After an hour of walking, the path curves sharply and the group stumbled across a number of bloated animal carcasses which appeared to have died of some sort of sickness.  Natalia moves in to have a closer examination as one of the carcasses explodes over the group causing Otto, Bob and Miro to become infected with the Bubonic plague!

Vaneer ushers the group out of the infected area before he sets to removing the disease from the three members after which he then tends to the affects they suffered from the plague (severe stat loss).

Once all the group were healthy again they continued on the path for another hour or two where the path ends at a grassy vale littered with crumbled and damaged statues, whilst a 300ft white stone tower sits atop a perfect circular hill in the distance.

The group decide to slowly approach the tower.
