The Horrors That Haught the Night

General Summary

Surely, the former Warmaster of the Sovereign,Grud, the Godslayer, Hellbreaker, and Lichbane, would fear nothing, correct? Well, several citizens of West Haven might say otherwise due to witnessing him fleeing from the local graveyard, followed closely by his half-orc brother, Sharhorn.
After wasting time attempting to win money in the fighting ring of the Death Dells Tavern, where Sharhorn's bravado was quickly smashed into the ground, the duo decided to attempt to put rumors about the Nightshade Necropolis to bed. Under the cover of darkness, they went to investigate the former witch queen's residence. Thinking this to be an easy quest, they were immediately ensnared by a couple of assassin vines, which alerted the multiple dwiergeth ins= the courtyard to their presence. That fight wasn't as nasty as the next fight inside the house with the shenzuzhou, who, in addition to their frightening appearance, were throwing decaying heads as splash weapons.
Falling victim to their fear, Grud and Sharhorn dropped their weapons and fled the scene. Tearing through town at the speed of a horse, Grud's rapid exit from the graveyard became quite the talk of the local citizens.
A noxious gas now emanates from the Nightshade Necropolis, resulting in several local citizens dropping dead in the streets, their lifeforce drained from them.
