As It Decays
General Summary
Raffyr, Tiff and Belron met up in Xiomara to assist Runa with a board post she had seen, rumors of plant like creatures killing travelers on the roads. Tiff conjured a phantom chariot, and the three of them set off to meet her outside the city of West Haven. Belron attempted to give Runa a warning about his travel companions, however was unable to make it fully out before they arrived. It appears that the warning was unwarranted however, as he soon came to find out that Runa was expecting the help. The party quickly rested for the night, before exploring the areas of road between West Haven and Willowdale where the reports of missing peoples had come from.
The next morning, the magic users took the time to prepare a few contigencies and the party traverses the road. After a few hours of travel, the party noticed a somewhat unusual sight, a 12-headed hydra with bark-like skin, and bleeding some sort of green acid. After a brief conversation beforehand, the hydra noticing the party approach and began its attack, however, it was swiftly taken out by the group. Examining its corpse, they found that this creature was not natural, but more of a created creature.
Continuing down the road between West Haven and Willowdale, the party was able to track that the beast they slew had come from farther up the road, leaving behind many corpses abandoned on the side of the road. As they traversed, they encountered another creature, a Zomok named Krethil. Although it was able to get the jump on the party, cool heads prevailed and they were able to convince the creature to lead them to its master, an elven druid by the name of Apophis Brown.
Krethil accompanied the party to the druid, who sat just outside the borders of Sovereignty territory, near the town of Willowdale. A short philosophical conversation started, learning that Apophis despises what 'civilized people' are doing to the nature around them, and how much the interferance adventurers cause disrupts the balance of life and death. He told the party he seeks to rebalance the world, and that his magic is from nature itself.
Runa, realizing that the conversation was not going anywhere favorably, attempted to cast a disintegration ray at him, only to be stopped by Krethil. Belron, finding a kindred soul in Apophis, decided to withdraw rather than fight. Apophis, seeing the fighting start, promptly teleported away, leaving the fight to Krethil. Tiff and Raffyr, unsure what to do, abstained from fighting Krethil, preferring to talk it out. Seeing they were not hostile, he turned his attacks on Runa, killing her in the process. Luckily, Runa had a contingency in place, and teleported her body to her home in West Haven to be brought back to life by her minion, Maggot.
After a brief exchange, Raffyr gave Krethil an open invitation him and his master at the Ashen Keep for further conversation, and the Zomok returned to his swamp to await further orders. Everyone returned home, and Runa stealthily returned to her place of death to retreive her lost Cauldron that had fallen at the time of death.
