First Mission to Vernoff

Military action

After being contacted Osanna, telling them that she and Inquisitor Noctis Aurelia were trapped in the dungeon under the castle in Vernoff, the Fellfinders were tasked with going, scouting, and retrieving the two individuals, and returning them to Rivershore. Remarkably, the fellfinders managed to get through the Laughing Forest and into Vernoff. There they discovered that some of the cities population is being hidden away by the Syndicate and protected, and the gnolls roam the streets picking off civilians. There is also a shadow creature which takes on the form of the dead people dear to the ones looking at it, but they close not to engage it. After making their way to the dungeons, they were ambushed by a group of gnolls lead by Therrg Blackfur, a powerful gnoll leader who put up a strong fight against the party. After the battle, the Therrg's skull was crushed by a barrage of enchanted coins, however he still stood, almost killed Zekral, and was devoured by a giant hyena head, an illusion or transportation spell. No body was found, and the fellfinders immediatelly went to Rivershore with the two survivors, having succeeded in their mission and also gained valuable information about Venoff and the gnolls there.
