Game summary for January 2, 2014, Carrion Crown Adventure Path campaign, Broken Moon adventure; PCs included Caerwen (elf monk), Dario Malavasi (human oracle), and Gnok Thatek (dwarf monk), accompanied by NPC companion Nyssa Pagonis (human cleric).
The team darted into an old tavern and were followed in by a pair of Menadoran festrogs and a Whispering Way curate! The festrogs tore into the group, even ripping flesh from Caerwen to heal its own injuries. The team put pressure upon the massive undead, however. The curate fell back under pressure from Dario but desecrated the area! She then channeled negative energy not once, not twice, not three times, but four times! The unholy power continued to rip through the party dealing horrific wounds, but the festrogs kept the party back away from her. Finally, the festrogs went down, and Gnok slammed into her with a grapple. She channeled a fifth time, which nearly killed the entire group. With only tatters of their life forces remaining, the team finally killed her. Almost dead, they hid the bodies and made a makeshift camp on the upper floor.
Early pre-dawn, Gnok crept out on a scouting mission to see the best route to the tower supposedly occupied by Auren Vrood. He decided going from building to building through town would give the best cover. They slipped into an inn and met the spirit of Ulcris Sedmir, the dead innkeeper who blames himself for the Feldgrau massacre. Dario made friends with the ghost and learned the spirit could rip the memories out of Auren Vrood’s head after his death to tell them why the necromancer is here in Feldgrau. He agreed to do so if the party would help put the spirits of Feldgrau to rest.
The team then went into the mill because Ulcris said he had heard creatures over there. On the first floor, the team found a pair of Demon Wolf marauders! Caerwen displayed the Princes’ Wolves tokens, and the werewolves first thought their sworn enemies had arrived; however, when the team didn’t transform, they realized they were fighting something different. The deadly werewolf warriors began to smite the party, and a bloodbath ensued. Their massive falchions cut deeply, but even the monks had difficulty harming the werewolves despite their ki-enhanced strikes! Gnok drew his bane dagger and brutally injured one! Dario had been hurled to the ground by another, and was in an awkward position when Nyssa’s hold person paralyzed a Demon Wolf! He performed a coup de grace from below, which got him mauled by the still-standing wolf at his flank, but he disemboweled the paralyzed enemy! The last werewolf fought valiantly and injured most of the team horrifically; however, Caerwen stepped in and ripped the Demon Wolf’s throat out with his bare hands! He looked around and saw his friends mauled and in very bad shape, but they were victorious!
