[QUOTE="Skyscraper, post: 5313534, member: 48518"] [b]Session 3[/b] The PCs had subdued one of the black horse bounty hunters instead of killing him, and they interrogated him to get some information as to what they are and where they come from. They learned that Kathor had visited a strange house on his own earlier, and that he had been acting strangely for some time. The PCs wonder whether this is linked to the larva that came out of his ear... They visit the strange house in question (after having gone through the terrorizing dragon encounter) and find an old, small abandonned place that has little furniture left and no sings of anyone having lived there for a while. Manacales attached to the basement wall is the first hint that this might not have been an ordinary place. The second storey reveals two rooms: an office with an altar-like table with its feet sculpted in almost incomprehensible multiple facets and blood stains on top of it; and a second room devoid of furniture with old curtain poles along the walls and a crystal-like splashes on the wall. When they scraped the crystals with a dagger, viscous liquid oozed out of them. They also found three other larvae on the floor of this second room, dead. While they were inspecting the house, the goliath, standing sentry outside, sees a neighbor come out of his house, bare-footed in the snow, and enter the house where the PCs are. They confront him on the ground floor, where he walks mindlessly towards the rogue who had scraped the crystals. His empty gaze fixed on the rogue, the latter starts to have a viscious headache (takes psychic damage). A bit freaked out, they kill the weird old man and leave. They move towards the depository. There, they decide to send in only the rogue and the cleric, to avoid scaring the gnome Rivereye (since his usual contact Peppin is dead). The two of them meet with Larion-diguised-as-Rivereye and uncover his disguise due to good bad acting on my part ;). The session ends again on a cliffhanger as Larion unfolds from his crouched position, throwing off Rivereye's cloack, and kicks the cleric to try running away. ********* I'm starting to refine the larva-domination thing: I think I'll be going towards a far-realm/Cthulhu type of enemy, that will be linked to the power the Ragesians are trying to tap into.
