The Night of Howls

General Summary

The party sets up camp for the night and it seems to go smoothly at first. During the night Shei hears screams and the sounds of fighting. He flies off trying to discover the source of the sounds. In the woods he fights two of Marwen's Savages dragging a strange spirit behind them. He engages them in a fight and discovers a little more than he can handle.

The fight ensues and fortunately, Garuman and Shei managed to win with the aid of their new friend, Tinky da Brave. Tinky da Brave, ironically, is the son of Raustark the Alchemist they just just met.

35th day of the Orange Moon

The next morning comes and after getting to know their new friend, the party draws from the Deck of Wonders a few times.

Exploring the lair of the savages, the party does not solve the puzzle there. Still, they manage to find the Corpse Hall underneath the ruined tower. It is the sanctum of one of Marwen's greatest worshipers along with his suit of armor. Inside is a challenge for anyone who finds it.

Only the hunter who can slay the greatest beasts

can claim the armor of my greatest priests.

A being of chaos whose enemies fear their spawn

The snake of hell who you cannot sneak up upon.

The creature of the death, whose claws can rend

The master of control whose mind can bend

Lay them on the Altar and their blood shall please me

After this they begin to head towards the correct tower. They are heading through the hills and ambush a patrol of hobs. Eliminating them, they continue on and see the tower, along with the Ogre Duke.
