The Road to Camont

by Wyatson The Rogue

Day 1: Nothing Happened
 
Day 2: We found a tree with skeletal hands inside hanged like a chime. It might be a warning sign. I burned it down....might have avoided some small rat aberrations.
 
Day 3: Clement sucked at survival shit. I like the guy but this might not be his strongsuit. Theres a tree on the road....I ran to hide in a tree incase it might be an ambush...I was right...We killed them all and figured out some information: Large aberrant treelike monsters are what control little forest creatures that become acidic. They are immune to acid and poison damage. Could this be the "Woodland god"???
 
We have Finally arrived at the outskirts, a nice hamlet to Camont, no thanks to Clement....I call out using my whistle (thieves cant)...no response...we look around for a place to rest near town square. A great marble statue of Miklas sits at the town center. Town semi-abondoned it seems, several candles havent been lit in a good while. Where is everyone???...im getting a faint feeling that statue might be magical, Clement confirms this, hes finally useful.
 
Finally a tavern, "Hemina's", maybe theres a place to sleep there....looks really fancy, we might not be able to afford it. Lots of people here compared to outside. We found at table to sit at, Hemina greeted us and offered us food and drink. Avalanche went to restroom as always. The servers seem off now that i take a closer look, there seems to be a glamour here, ill pay closer attention...THEYRE DISGUISING THEMSELVES, THINGS ARE NOT AS THEY APPEAR!!!...Clement gave me a look, he seems to have noticed as well, I'll play along for now. I should probably warn Avalanche, who knows how long it'll take till he comes back, we might need him....It smells like ass in here, Avalanche is destroying this restroom even though hes just pissin...I tell him that something might happen and be ready but knowing him he'll blow our cover so wont tell him too much.
 
Baba Yaga is taking long stowing the horses...I wonder what hes doing???
 
Theres something wrong with the food. I won't be eating this anymore. Avalanche is leaving, none of us should be alone, i'll go with him, they caught me in my lies ill stay for now to stay their suspicions for now...
 
Avalanche barged in yelling, Baba yaga is missing and apparently hurt. The peoplein the tavern seem to react as well and it might be because of the ravid squirrels??? By the way where are the guardsmen? He guides us to the scene.
***I see what happened in my mind, what it was that happened to baba yaga, like what Sherlock
can do but better***
 
Avalanche studies the blood and tracks, he believes all signs point towards the stable. We make our way there and he bull rushes the doors to the stable and succesfully crushes the door, I would not like to be on the receiving end of that. Baba yaga is being held with a sword at his throat. I'll should get a better vantage point, my efforts weren't all that great, I feel someone else might be watching me outside....
