The Way to Donglin: Menace of Gecko Village Report
General Summary
The Black Team arrived in Gecko Village on schedule, but found something different than what they expected. The hamlet was smaller than they remembered or had heard before, and everyone was hiding indoors.
The locals explained their situation, that the Cockatrice Demon Ji She Yao menaced them and took sacrificial brides from the young women of the village. The party meets the village headman, a farmer who was left alive long enough to threaten the townsfolk.
The demon himself was strange fight he implied during their battle that he was six years old, and the women and children he took as brides were all alive or had escaped or left before the Black Team arrived. Some, particularly the older ones, seemed to enjoy their new living arrangement or even felt fond of the demon. Others appeared to have some of charm or enchantment affecting them.
Despite his Treasure Defeating Coins and the menacing capacity to turn people into giant eggs, the party was able to restrain him and with the help of Dancing Phoenix and his magic Ruler of Admonition they force him to restore those who've been turned into eggs. Dancing Phoenix gives the remaining Coins to the party and takes Ji She Yao to the village to restore the headman's daughter.
With the day saved, the black team refocuses on the mission: retrieve the key to gate of heaven from 72-Cannons Chang in Donglin City.
