Session 42: A Night of Pandemonium Report

The session began with the party making their way from Iron Peak after their successful infiltration, stealing blueprints of various vehicles and a layout of the undercity. Unbeknownst to them, the night was to be cursed by the darkness of Geheimnisse, and they would be assailled by horrid creatures of the night. First they were attacked by a group of humanoid moth men who forced a fear into those who could not resist it and used their strength to kick and attack the party along the dirt roads. They ambushed the party from the trees, catching some of them by surprise, but it was not to their avail as the party easily dispatched the moth men and continued on, trying to reach safety at one of the many fortified roadside inns across the continent.    But they were not out of the fight yet, as one of the huge vehicles belonging to the Iron Legion, equipped with an assortment of ravaging weapons, came crushing through the forest and a chase began to ensue with the party attempting to escape by horseback. The party began run away, the vehicle on their heels as the dark moon of Morrslieb grew brighter. Zeal and Geraldt were unable to widen the gap at first, whilst Aes with Orion on her horse were able to gain a large distance away from the vehicle. The night of Gehimnisse was of no help either, as the trees and the ground itself began to attack the party and the vehicle, causing injury among them and killing Zeal's horse. Geraldt quickly swooped him onto his horse, before a stampede of frightened deer got in the way of their escape, slowing them down but not enough to be caught by their adversaries. They soon found themselves off the road, where they were able to hide and get away from the vehicle.    Although they escaped the Iron Legion, the night was as dark as ever, and they were sure to encounter more creatures with ill intent. This was indeed the case, as after a long time they re-encountered the Vargheist, who was not alone this time as it was acompanied by an assorment of corrupted animals. Combat ensued with the beast, as they were attacked relentlessly and without remorse. After a while of battle, 3 ghostly figures appeared, weaponised and ready for combat. It was unknown at first if these ghosts were friend or foe, but it was shown that it was the former as they began to help the party by attacking the Vargheist and it's allies. The battle finally ended with Aes decapitating the Vargheist, finishing it once and for all.   The session ended with the party finding safety at a roadside inn which they took refuge in the basement of.
