(Apologies in advance for this one. I have been at a stag do this weekend and my brain is still an absolute mess. Look forward to seeing you all tonight)
Quest: Into the Haunted Woods
Date: 9th May
Area: Due East of Daring Heights past the Sunken Tower. 2 miles further to the Xvart encounter
Adventurers: Moth (Barbarian), Duma (Cleric), Dorian (Sorcerer), Nowhere (Warlock), Rhy(Rogue), Nix (Warlock)
Number of Enemies: ~ 80+
Types of Enemy: Xvart(Undead Demon Prince Clone), Skeletons (Archers & Melee), Specter, Corpse Eater (Variant: Once a human named Marcus)
Number of Enemy Casualties: ~80+
General Report: A fairly chaotic 3 day journey into the woods threw us into a variety of encounters. Moth took care of a fairly short lived Xvart much to the parties disdain as it was felt it could have led us to the source. After that our evenings rest was disturbed by the presence of several skeletons which led us into a trap of sorts where a specter ambushed us. Even though Moth took a beating, with some support from our party he clove through the ranks of the skeletons. The choice was made to return to our previous camp and prepare for what would come the following day.
After returning to the clearing the next day we proceeded towards the mountain dodging several groups of skeletons till Moths bushwacking attempts alerted some to our presence. At this point the party was working well and they were dispatched once more without too much effort.
The big battle occurs once we have reached the base of the mountain and scout out a corpse eater which is slowly devouring all the undead (~60) that we had been following the this point. After much deliberation and a few incidents while scouting(Moth fell out of a tree) it was decided the best way to destroy these creatures was to cause an avalanche. Through the combined might of the two warlocks the avalanche that occurred obliterated the corpse eater and decimated the ranks of the undead.
The remaining undead engaged our party in combat. At this point I spent much time unconscious or hiding so as far as I can tell we survived.
The trip back was uneventful with general errands being run and the rock that Moth had pulled out of the creature being removed safely from his arm.
Points of interest:
A missing patrol including one named Peter who is missing his rabbit's foot(possible referencing of some unknown childrens book). Helra is worried for his safety.
A large beast roams due north east of the sunken tower. Approximately 7-8 feet tall of unknown humanoid nature. Be on the lookout.
Granny is now in possession of a stone which calls forth undead to its location. May need to keep an eye on her.
Loot gained: ~500 gold split evenly between adventurers.
Kill count:
Party kills: ~75
Individual:
Moth: 7
Dorian: 2
Nix: 2
Nowhere:1
