Attacks of the Nuckelavee
Plague / EpidemicA creature that becomes known as the Nuckelavee begins to terrorise the farms and small villages south of Onyxburg. A folk song is quickly spread by bards. I'll tattle a tale that is terribly true. Started out as a rumor, but suddenly grew. And it deals with a man, and a horse, and a ring. So settle on in and our song we shall sing. It happened one day in a ring by a farm Something that tragically brought us much harm How could a place abundant with charm Create such a beast with a spear for an arm. On death and destruction is what you will get When he's coming for you in your kilt you will wet. And he's big and he's strong and its quite plain to see. That this is the Tale of the Nukelavee. Nukelavee! Oh Nukelavee You're big and evil and heinous Who could it be who set you free? He really must be an anus. Oh Nukelavee it's easy to see the terror you leave is raining on me. The village is burned and the taverns are missed and the beer is all gone and the elders are pissed. And if they ever should find the fool We'll hang him upside down by his tool And spin him around until he gets sick Ooh! Aah! Oh, that should do the trick. Hey! Nukelavee! Oh Nukelavee The terror you offer is high-class. Who could it be who set you free? He really must be a dumbass. Nukelavee! Oh Nukelavee The horror you furnish is widespread Who could it be who set you free? He really must be an ox-head. Now everyone knows no blood should spill In the sacred ring by the farm on the hill And if that ever happens, then Death you should fear. He'll kick in your nuts and he'll serve them with beer. So one final thought before I depart, And this, my friends, comes straight from the heart: We'd all be fine if not for that bell And that horse-killing wanker who opened up hell. Nukelavee! Oh Nukelavee We cannot win, we must admit Who could it be who set you free? He really must be a dimwit. Nukelavee! Oh Nukelavee You're big and evil and heinous Who could it be who set you free? He really must be an anus

The group is able to slay the beast. In the end, Felda Felda is able to destroy Morbus once and for all with the Lantern of Hygia. The tomb and mountain begin to collapse but Aledia creates a portal to Mistmarsh enabling their escape. In Mistmarsh they met Tooth and his gang before the meeting Ceryx, the Herald of Olympia. Ceryx takes the lantern and returns it to Hygia who purifies all the realms of any remaining Blight. The Adventure Club are then sent to their homes by Ceryx.
