Red Hood and The Outsiders

by Arthurius Dreadt

Doga, a town held aloft by its mines, is infested by Yoma; at least two of them. The town's leader has called upon an organization to bring Claymores, witch warriors, to dispatch the "demons." So far, the emotionless, silver-eyed witches haven't arrived to help but my backup should be arriving shortly.
 
The Outsiders I met wanted to meet with Chieftain Stein, they discussed the Yoma's shapeshifting and their intelligence. We discussed the fear of the Yoma replacing the people and that there are twelve people missing. After seeing a family torn apart by the Yoma, we headed toward the most recent attack at the mines. At the mines we encountered a Yoma that was captured and fought it vigorously. Between the two Outsiders, the creature was dealt with in short order as I remained in character.
 
Later in the evening we chose to use me as bait. After being paid 200 silver pieces I waited through the night but nothing came. In the morning I made a fool of myself getting water. I then, that day, met a couple that I enticed into thinking I was an idiot. The next day I made a fool of myself pulling weeds but nothing came. After walking about the property the guard captain and a guard approached and informed us that another attack had occurred. After informing us that a Claymore had arrived in town, we ventured back in. As introductions shot across the room, I fought to pull myself back to form. Finally finding myself, I introduced my true-self through the haze of my insanity as, Red Hood. After a conversation with the Claymore, we encountered bandits. The Claymore opted out of human conflict and as I joined the Outsiders in a fight, failing on my portion Osa tore into the bandit leader with arrows as Eldred rushed up and took the express line to cutting a bandit through. Cut down by the bandits and the captain, Eldred falls as Osa charges over him. Parrying blows with my rapier, I declare, "my name is Arthurius Dredt the Red Hood of Faerûn, you killed my comrade prepare to die!" The bandit's eyes widened with terror as my rapier pierced his chest, pulling my dagger, I slipped it under his ribs and stared him in the eyes as he died. Slaying another bandit I charged to Osa's side and she killed two of the bandits as the last three fled. After Eldred is brought back up from the brink of death, we all prepared for a fight with the Yoma. Redeeming himself, Eldred cuts deep with the first Yoma as another charged in. After a heated battle, they are both cut down.
 
The town rewarded us for our troubles and Eldred took the time to talk to the Claymore. Afterwards, I decided to part company.
