It was the Children, who never made it to "somewhere safe"I described the reaction of the townsmen who were forced to cut down their own children right alongside the party...Two people got up and had to leave the table briefly to compose themselves.When the party finally put the cult down, WOW was their celebration...Most invested I think I've ever gotten my players in a game.</blockquote>
