I started the game with a handful of scenarios in the village. Our wizard spoke to the NPC wizard in the village, and was given an impromptu pop-quiz on magic. Our war-scarred veteran compared war wounds with a retired military grunt in the village. Our elf was followed around by the local children, who asked her for "an angel's blessing." It was great.Just before dawn, the demon attacked. It galumphed down the hill from the temple, ready to take what it wanted! The three cultist who released him were in tow, close and ready to fight.The first couple or rounds were pretty much just getting into position. Characters took cover behind houses, and those who succeeded on knowledge checks explained what it was they were facing.The wizard and the elf both knew about Chernabue's horrific appearance, and they did their best to avoid looking at its disgusting visage. As the dawn came, they could see more clearly its details, and the harder it became to resist.Two NPCs, the wizard and the war-scarred grunt began to attack the monster, but the wizard had difficulty overcoming the monster's SR and ultimately decided to run. The party saw this as an act of ultimate cowerdice.Throughout the fight, the demon moved toward the huts sprinked over the board, smashing them open and pulling out children. The PCs knew that whatever awaited them at the hands of the demon was horrific, and so began... mercy killing them.I didn't really see that one coming.The grizzled war-torn NPC tried to stop the PC's, but she fell under the sway of the demon's mind effecting "confusion" effect and spent the rest of her time attacking the other confused PCs.Every child in the village was kidnapped, except for the few the players managed to mercy-kill. After that, the group gathered the remaining villagers and began a long, miserable trip back to the city.I think it went great... but... they killed kids, man. D:How can an NPC be incorrect? I do not understand.</blockquote>
