Synopsis

Although they heard the violin play its melancholic song throughout the night, they managed to get a night's rest. Upon waking, they were accosted by some old workfellows of Finnigan. They presented a choice: the party's money or the party's lives. The party, however, pulled a pro gamer move and showed them Option 3: The bandits' lives. Though they struggled with a half-ogre, they won and discovered secret Option 4: The bandits' lives and all their gold. The irony!   They were then beckoned forth by a giant Treant, who showed their appreciation for the party's efforts and gave them some insight into the Mansion on the hilltop. There have been multiple, inconclusive investigations already by Pesco. They also gave some ominous foreshadowing: They can sense the world becoming uneasy and their insight into the natural world is being hindered. When they asked, the plants wilted, the winds warned of danger, the rocks couldn't recall, and the very essence of the world shrieked in horror. All they know is that Death is approaching.   Following Petalheart's direction, the party found a roc rock that seemed to be a rock of a roc. Following the trail, the party heard voices warning them away. However, they resolved to push on and found them confronted by an assortment of once-living corpses. After making these corpses corpses again, their apparent leader vanished. Scouting ahead, Wirin confirmed that the way ahead appears clear...
