This Cannot Stand
General Summary
Belron put out a post calling on adventurers to help quell a blight on the land. In his garden Rico, and Just Raffyr arrived and they began discussions on what to do. Once Nihilus arrived the mood immediatly changed and subtle insults and challenges were issued under thinly veiled pleasantries. Azim quietly arrives and sits down listening to the exchange while deciding not to announce his presence out of fear of interrupting the show.
After an hour of discussions Nihilus decided to initiate action and immediatly offered to teleport everyone to the source of the blight. Hestitently everyone clasped hands with him and arrived in a disease filled forest. Trees were covered in fungus and looked on the verge of death. Nihilus began speaking with one while Belron carressed a dying tree. He learned little of what caused this but did hear it was here for at least a year. Next Nihilus casted another spell and determined the source of the blight was an ooze like creature that looked closer to a treant then an ooze. Two dryads approached and spoke with the party. They agreed to bring back the blight so that the party can be transformed.
The day was spent waiting while nothing happened, and that night Azim was hit with a nightmare spell showing him ghouls and ghasts killing innocents. Later that day a whistling could be heard as a fey creature approached. He introduced himself as Theodore T. Boogie Boogie and offered to grant the blessing of the blight on the party in exchange for them to handle a ghoul threat. The party agreed and then quickly killed Boogie.
Moving on they tracked down the creature that was seen in Nihilus's vision and was immediatly attacked by it. Azim tried to hug it but was hit several times with it's branches and became slugish from it's attacks. Just Raffyr and Belron circled it and began tearing it apart as Rico shot arrows from above. it collapsed under the assault but did not fully die. Nihilus could see the magic holding it together was still there, but no one was able to determine how to cure it. Nihilus wanted to take the remains back with him but was stopped by Belron, they tried burning it but it had little effect. They decided to bury it and move on.
Arriving at the Ghoul encampment they watched as the creatures chewed through bone and meat of two humans and their horses. The battle quickly turned once Nihilus took control of the leader and watched as it cut through the remaining two ghouls.
The task at hand finished, Rico left to Xiomara with the corpse of Theodore T Boogie, while Nihilus teleported home. Rico purchased needles and descrated the body ensuring a very painful resurrection if anyone were to attempt one. Rico then disguised himself as Erkling of the Haberdashery and left the body on display on the gates to Haberdashery.
Nihilus teleported back to the grave of the ooze and recovered it's remains. He then teleported to the Pygmy Forest and deposited the remains hopeful the ooze will return and provide a purpose to Belron.
