Kantas Mission Report #007
Objective:
Hunt and remove ‘monster’ from an area in Kul Goran named Nrav’Garat.
Requested by Kassandra of the Errant Guard.
Team:
Myself
Ziarae, a neon-pink winged combat specialist.
Laurel, goat druid known from previous missions.
Lillith, a leather-bound tiefling.
Arkadius, a winged tiefling who waved their weasel around a lot
Sergeant Grimes of Daring Heights, observant close combat specialist.
Details:
Teleported to Kul Goran to meet with Kassandra. Also pulled into a briefing with Ambassador Durell.
He reported situation involving fiendish cult called the ‘Vanguard’ that has been recently discovered in Kul Goran, they have signature red masks.
Informed him of the recent discovery of Glasya cult/organisation in Port Ffirst.
Durell and Grimes noted this, made comments that hopefully these two cults are not associated with each other.
Transported with Kassandra by wind powered wagon to Nrav’Garat, apparently no horses there. Was informed that due to constant high winds bows would not be effective weapons here, was gratefully given a crossbow by Kassandra.
On arrival met with another member of the Errant Guard, Cory, wielder of a double bass. Tasked with monitoring and protecting this area of Kul Goran.
Cory reported that the ‘monster’s’ appearance and nature were not fully known, any person to have come into contact with it had not been seen again. Eyewitness reports from a distance noted that it could fly, had 4-10 limbs, looked like an owlbear but not.
Team, Kassandra, and Cory immediately proceeded into the woods to find tracks of this ‘monster’.
Tracking successful, lair found, cave terrain.
I scouted ahead with spider and weasel assistance. Discovered two unstable rifts in one cave section, a group of the ‘Shunned’ in another performing a ritual in another section, skeletons everywhere.
Rifts appearance= 1 had monotone and shimmering colouration, 1 had dark purple glittery colouration.
Team entered cave with objective of befriending Shunned group and asking for their assistance in locating the monster.
Shunned ritual was spell to contact the dead through a skull of one of their former comrades, seems this monster had also been destructive towards their kind.
Lillith managed to convince the Shunned that she was a prophet of sorts, with us as her travelling escort, that was here to help them and rid them of this monster.
This ruse proved alarmingly successful.
Kassandra, keeping watch at the mouth of the cave, then entered and announced the approach of a flying monster. It then entered the section of the cave we are in.
Monster appearance= A unstable blending of 2 bugbears that was trailing the 2 unstable rifts from the cave behind it. The rifts and the monster’s appearance were linked. Monster had 2 heads at uneven angles, 8 limbs, and wings.
Combat ensued.
Monster had magical abilities of summoning darkness and teleportation. Magical darkness proved difficult for most of us to cope with in combat (is there a way to train for this?).
Laurel and Cory were able to minimise the rifts through magical methods.
As monster slowly taken down, it revealed its unnatural and unstable morphed nature by momentarily splitting into two different bugbear forms. Each form representing a colour scheme of one of the accompanying rifts.
Monster defeated. Leaving only 1 bugbear corpse.
Casualties healed.
Kassandra tried to eliminate Shunned allies.
Team defended Shunned, rejected Kaasandra’s actions (I was prepared to fight her alone if needed).
With monster defeated, team was escorted back to teleportation circle to Daring Heights.
Report Conclusion:
Success. Monster defeated.
Allies made with some Shunned and some Kul Goranians.
Kul Goran light crossbow acquired.
