[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8403695, member: 7030144"] Session 23 (April 11, 2021) 4 Ta-Ghast Uneventful travel 5 Ta-Ghast Uneventful travel 6 Ta-Ghast In the afternoon, Noah starts to sense that something feels wrong. He warns the group, and Sister Agnes casts detect evil, detecting nothing. Noah uses his connection to the spirits and senses something right (to the east) and ahead. Noah and Elyn try to bluff something, trying to scare off whoever is coming. Sister Agnes fades off to the right, seeking to draw attacks. Agnes detects evil, and sees a group approaching. She shouts, “Ware! Evil-doers!” Then they hear a bullroar from the right, a group of men, dressed in ragged clothes and with flanged weapons, charge and shout “For the Ram!” Elyn shoots the leader with her bow twice. Noah shouts, “What do you want?” They respond, “The Ram demands blood in sacrifice!” Ravokris hits the leader with a flame bolt, dropping him. Iados runs out and impales one on his rapier, dropping him, while Sister Agnes holds another one. Elyn shoots the one that’s held, getting a critical hit and doing a total of 20 damage. Ravokris hits one of them with a flame bolt. One of them charges Noah, missing entirely, one charges Ravokris, and one charges Sister Agnes. None of them hit. Noah rages and attacks. His first blow does a mighty 12 damage, and his second attack largely cleaves through him with a critical hit. Sister Agnes calls out, “O Lady, Weep for those whose soul’s my companions are sending on.” She then holds out her shield and focuses on blocking the enemy’s attacks. Iados attempts to fling a body at the other enemies, but he does not throw it very far. Suddenly, rushing down the road and breaking through the brush from farther along the road, two over-sized black goats, putrid black smoke coming from their maws, charge. They are about 4 feet at the shoulder, 7 feet long. Noah says, “Oh, you’re so cute! They must have been holding you hostage!” Sister Agnes says, “They are probably demons in goat form.” Noah says, “Why would demons take on goat form?” The goat replies, “Because we serve the Lord of Goats!” Elyn says, “Man, show some respect! Those are demons!” “Thank you!” says the lead goat. “We’re not very major demons, but we are Mehrim!” The goat-demons charge Noah, and batter him repeatedly, with two butts and two hooves. “Where were you raised, you rowdy goats?” “The 342nd level of the Abyss.” Elyn shoots the most wounded of the cultists, pinning him down and all but finishing him off. One of the cultists charges Elyn and misses completely, encanting; the other misses entirely. Noah runs off and attacks the cultists, much to the amazement of the goat demons, dealing 10 damage and 13 damage. Sister Agnes casts spiritual weapon, and channels divinity at the goats. One of them flees; the other gets hit by the holy scourge for 8 damage. Iados drops another cultist, killing him outright. Elyn shoots the goat demon that has not fled. Noah finishes off the last cultist. He then banters with the goat demon for a while, before finally realizing that it’s a creature of the Abyss, and strikes it, killing it. Abruptly, as it falls to the ground, it changes form to look like a slimy oily satyr shaped demon. It then fades away. (The other goat demon never returns.) 7 Ta-Ghast Uneventful travel. 8 Ta-Ghast Uneventful travel. As they approach nightfall, they can see a fortified village ahead of them, and can smell woodsmoke. A fortified manor, with a flag, sits on a hill nearby. A rider on a mule comes out, and offers us the hospitality of the village of Gdoinye, which has several inns. The gates are kept closed except when someone arrives. The group is led to the nicest inn in the village, the Black Horse Inn. Sister Agnes goes to the infirmary, where they are told there were wounded from the north. She heals some wounded soldiers, who were wounded fighting against a cult—the same cult that we fought in the northlands; they had a priest with them, and they defeated the enemies, but the priest died. That was the lord’s chaplain, who was of the Order of Saint Vincent the Venerable—they get additional special skills, in exchange for certain special vows of poverty, chastity, not wearing armor. They mention that the Strom of the local village is a good man, but also admit that they think that the Strom’s lady is a cultist. The parish priest confirms that he worries about that, but has never been able to confirm anything, and the Inquisition is not able to function here. She is definitely a maga.
