Session VIII & IX: The lost sheep part 2 Report
General Summary
Not long after their encounter with Guz and his man the party, after having a good night's rest continues, on their way to Finethir's tower, now occupied by his former apprentice. Arrived at the tower the party is met with 3 apes standing guard. As the party sneaks up to the edge of Nook's base they set a trap. Using deception and the corners of one of the guardhouses the party manages to floor to apes before the fight starts giving them an edge. As the battle escalates a bear bursts out from the outhouse behind the party. With Rhogar badly wounded They manage to finish the fight all the while dodging rays shot by Nook from his tower. Nook, done with the perpetrators on his land bursts from his tower on the back of a wooden dragon. Closing in on the party Azubuike tries to talk in on him hoping to solve this matter peacefully. Even though Nook being furious with his scared away he settles down from his dragon. As Nook commands his dragon closer to the party it starts to shrink and eventually lays down in the form of a table with five chairs surrounding it. In their parlé the party discovers Nook is not able to turn back Shinethir from his current form. The wand he used is badly damaged and a risk to use. As much as the party persists Nook tells them he won't be able to and mocks them for their lack of magical powers. Rhogar stepping forward takes the damaged wand and tries to use the magic still inside. A green light comes from the wooden wand and hits Finethir. As the light hits Finethir it immediately fades but, not a moment later he starts to glow from the inside and his shape starts to change. The light becoming brighter and brighter makes it impossible to see what is happening but as the light fades again Finethir is gone... Nothing but a large blob of skin, flesh, eyes, and mouths are left. The spell backfired and the creature left is anything but humanoid. As the party offs the creature, Nook runs back into his tower not able to face the consequences of his actions. As the party seeks their refuge in the tower Azubuike and Dena start looting the place for treasure and valuables while Rhogar tries to find Nook. As Rhogar approaches Nook's bedroom he hears him chanting old magic. Opening the door Rhogar sees Nook standing in a green runic circle. As the light grows in intensity Rhogar steps back while Azubuike and Dena peek around the corner. The light slowly fades leaving a baby in the place where nook was casting his spell. The party stupefied moves back into the common room, Rhogar holding baby Nook.
