Dark forest and darker castle

This time, when Gleipnyr decided to join us on out journey, and provided us with a name for our group, the Moon torch, Which was granted to our little church. The church of Moon torch. A really nice name for a church in the name of Selune.
 
During our travel to Chauve's Castle we were forced to go through a dark forest, where we found a lot of dead beings, such poor creatures. I can only imagine what can bring this upon this land.
 
The night I took my 1st watch was the night we found out what is happening. An entity lingered at the end of my eyesight. Luckily for me and my companions, through the power of Selune I can see far beyond what everyone else can. The creature was far enough to keep everyone safe. Then when I went off to sleep and exchanged with Gleipnyr, the monster struck. And brought Delru to his realm. In the morning when we reunited. We proceeded to travel further to reach the castle.
 
The journey was tough but upon reaching the castle we figured out not everything was alright.
 
The people of the castle try to confuse me and drag me through with a different way every night. This is just foul, I must figure out why.
 
This morning we found out Vanesa is missing. We must find her at once.
 
We found Vanesa but she was to be used as a ritual component. Such dark acts from these people... Welcoming at first to fulfil their dark rituals to prolong life. I hope Vanesa will be alright after this.
