Session 12: Fleeing the city Report

General Summary

Begining the 8th day of the Orange moon The party decides they should discover what has happened to Forcrum and the farmhouse. Using various spells and transformation abilities the party begins to head under this newly formed lake. While traveling they find a family trapped in a stone house that is unable to flee because of the water. Using N4's giant octopus body to block the water you manage to get all the family up to the surface without incident.   Finding the Farmhouse does not take the party long but they find it in a state of destruction. It appears as if Umizus have killed all the Illuthar guards and there is no sign of any of the Artificers. After searching the basement, kitchen, and upstairs there is nothing found that seems interesting.   N4 and Datheor stay behind to check out the windmill nearby and spot a lone Umizu swimming around but decide to not approach.   Reaching the surface the party argues about what to do next, but ultimately decide to investigate the Dungeons of the Damned. Making their way to a stable in the eastern farming section; the party begins to negotiate with the stable owner. Growing frustrating with the cheap/capitalistic ways of Crook Crag, N4 puts the stablemaster to sleep and the party steals the horses and gear they would need.    Maz wanted a Eunach horse so he cut the balls and shaft off of one, which made the horse not want to be with him. He then proceeded to stuff these items in the mouth of the stable master.   Making their way to the East the party comes across a small river; an old lady stands by a cart which has a horse dead in front of it. Azarath attempts to sneak by but is spotted and the woman begins to change, her skin twisting. The cart bursts apart and reveals a gigantic bulbous man. These 4 strange hyena faced monsters appear in the brush, ready to ambush.
