Message: <blockquote data-quote="Eeralai" data-source="post: 2811583" data-attributes="member: 15008">Outpost, Week 2 Day 2Author's note:  The below mentioned monster is a barghest (sp?) however, Gwen had no idea what the name of it was nor did anyone else in the party, so in her notes she calls it a 'spectral wolf' which is what I did here. Woke up last night to a tremendous row, although the sounds seemed muffled in my dreamy haze. When I rolled over, I saw Ternell and Aaron trying to beat back this bluish wolf type creature.  They were yelling for everyone to wake up, but only  Korliss was shuffling over.  Everyone else appeared to be still asleep. Ternell and Aaron had gashes on their faces and arms, but the wolf was unharmed.  It looked like they were hitting the thing with the blunt part of their weapons because the blows just kept bouncing off without doing any damage.  I stayed laying down and focused all of my energy on the wolf's mind.  It was strange to be connected to it this time.  In prior battles, I have been so worried about my own life, I haven't paid too much attention to my mind pain spell after getting it to work.  But this time, I could feel the wolf's consciousness being ripped away as if I was ripping his mind in two with my hands.  The wolf began to howl in pain as I kept the spell going, and soon it was lying lifelessly with blood gushing out of it's nose and ears.  Korliss, Ternell and Aaron stood staring at it with their mouths hanging open.  I'm sure they were wondering when they had gotten a hit in on its head.  I just turned over and went back to sleep.This morning, Aaron told all of us about this wolf that had floated in through the window and attacked them.  They weren't sure how they had taken it down, but they had.  I wonder if it was some sort of spectral wolf.  But then how could I connect with its mind?  Do spirits have minds?  They seemed to have been hitting it with their swords, just not very affectively.  Sometimes I think I would be able to make it back through the forest on my own.</blockquote>
