To Hillston II Report

General Summary

While traveling to Hillston, the party ran into Jaques, the !0' pole maker once again. They purchased some new poles and bid him on his way.
As they were approaching Masa, they came across a farm that had been abandoned for a week or so. Checking the place out it seemed the resident had intended to come back, but never made it home. They spent the night in the farm, and decided to ask about it in Masa.
While in Masa, the party spent some time talking to the local Priest of the One God. He told them they really should move on, to wherever they were going, but gave no explanation. Knowing something was strange, most of the group went to the tavern to see what they could learn while Finn and Cantatus stayed behind to see if they could convince the priest to provide more information.
They managed to scare the priest into revealing that the town was under a curse, and its people were eating human flesh. It all started when a Ghoul had fallen into the well, and the townspeople covered it up, and built a new well leaving it there.
Meanwhile the rest the party in the tavern were drugged but some of them resisted the effects and were able to stop the innkeeper from making them the town's next meal.
The party reconnected and convinced the town people that they could help cure the curse. The discovered that the curse was actually corruption brought on by the Dark Powers. The only way to cure it was to kill the Ghoul and then the town would have to abstain from eating people.
The party opened the sealed well, and the Ghoul came out, but he was much more powerful than an normal ghoul. The battle was tough and there were wounded on both sides, but eventually the party came out on top. They got rid of the ghouls and saved the village.
