Session 1: Outcasts in the Dark Report

General Summary

Following the tragic incident that took the life of the druid of Nara's Rest, our group of outcasts were sent on a journey to find a way to defeat the hag and save the grove-village from certain death. The forest is not the lush, green home they had once known, instead being slowly transformed into something dark and twisted with the hag's magic. Along the way, they take a moment to rest and are attacked by a group of goblins that appear to be consumed by the same corrupted magics the forest is - and Skrit-Skrat discovers that likely the people of their home would suffer the same fate before long. Upon defeating the goblins, the party discovers a map leading to a marked location - an entrance of some kind. They decide to follow this lead, seeing as it is not too far out of their way.   Skrit-Skrat manages to locate the place and together they find an entrance to what appears to be an underground, dug-out cavern underneath a large tree. Mio conjures up light and together with Skrit-Skrat, bravely dives into the darkness below. What they find is more goblins - leading to a difficult fight frought with peril. Nonetheless, the group prevailed. Investigating the cavern reveals that the goblins appear to have been worshipping the leader of the hag coven that has taken over the forest - Granny Padurii.   The smell of wet earth and the sound of a downpour alerts the party that a storm has started outside and water is quickly beginning the flood the underground burrow. The group heads out, running through the rain, as something appears to be hunting them. Out in the distance, they see a light - a building! None of them remember this place ever being here before, but soaked with rain and tired from the chase, they enter anyways. Perhaps here, they will be able to get some rest.
