3/5/22

Start session with INSP, +d6
Character question 1: In the cosmic scope, are you a good person? Probably, but Aurane would say he did well enough, but could have been better. Question 2: Have you ever had your heart broken? Nope, as there hasn't been all that much that he connects to with that sort of intensity.
 
BEGIN SESSION
We awaken at dawn to a dreary, rainy day on the edge of the forest (3o ft from treeline). Gain another INSP for a nice joke about burning the forest down for a shopping mall. We proceed into the forest carefully, but not enough to slow our pace. The trip is eerily quiet again. Quickly the rain increases to a downpour. There is a loud roar from ahead. We roll for initiative. I take a PER check to see if there are other threats. There is a mound-like structure that I recognize from before. The roaring figure is an undead owlbear. Marda gets eaten by the mound, but Rorin boldly claws her free from the creature, killing it. The owlbear quickly follows suit, but the weretiger/not weretiger appears, attacking Druss (from invisibility?). Oh no, Rorin is mind-controlled, attacking Melfine and myself. The fucker disappears, for now. Druss and I hold Rorin down until he calms down. Melfine tries to scrape as much of its blood together as she can, searching her memory for details of the creature. It is a rakshasa, a fiend that is resistant to magic, appearing similar to a tiger, and are more often hidden amongst large city crowds. They aren't fighters, but bargainers and conmen, dealing for souls. This one had the moss and shrooms on it, moss on top of the fur, but shrooms growing from the skin. Melfine blood-bonds with it and we track it moving towards the center of the forest.
 
As we travel quickly behind, group SUR check. As her connection fades, the rakshasa is now about 3 miles ahead of us. She looks into its mind, and through its eyes. There is a solid fog wall ahead of it, through which it walks. We travel the rest of the distance to the fog gate at a regular pace, stopping about 100 feet from the gate. We are going to take a short rest, but before it finishes, we are attacked by the earth again, vines this time. Roll for initiative. We kill them and sit down to finish the short rest.
