By the Gods, this group of adventurers might not be completely useless! As soon as we went toward the sound of the rhythmic thumping in the woods, I decided to go on a little hunt. Well, the bunny worshiper tried to scare my game off, but maybe it's a good thing! It turns out it was corrupted. Upon sounds of battle emerging, more corrupted beasts came from the woods. In total, 2 boar, 1 swarm of bats, 3 badgers, and one bear came to meet their doom. I ended up cleansing this world of one bear, one boar, and 2 badgers. I do admit, the sneak pulled through and made quite the kill. He was able to skewer 4 bats on one arrow! So, I decided to have them as a nice shishkibob. Not the best, and unexpectedly spicy. That might have been the corruption.
We took an hour to patch ourselves up before finding the source of the thumping as a small tower. Corruption was growing was also growing from there. looks like we have more work to do.
