Kythorn 3: Deal with Wolves

General Summary

At the Faint Branch in the morning, Top of Tree greets the volunteers who want to help lumberjacks by dealing with the wolves. The party members include Adpetor, Mindor, Lorwarith, Dimble Daergel Doublelock, and Taniel. Top tells the volunteers the location of the lumberjack camp. With slight overcast above, the party heads southwest 4 miles to get to the forest entrance. At the entrance, some unknown negligent people did not put out their campfire. Lorwarith uses his ability to control flames to extinguish the fire. The party then heads 7 miles west to the lumberjack camp. While on this path, animal tracks were discovered belonging to roughly 4 wolves, 2 deer, and 1 bear that seem a couple days old. Nobody was at the lumberjack camp Some axes and climbing gear were gathered before setting out to look for the wolves.
Recent wolf tracks were discovered and lead to a hillside cave 1 mile west of the lumberjack camp. On this path, wolf poop was discovered and analyzed. One of the members also tasted it. Deer fur was discovered in the wolf poop. The party stake out near the entrance of the cave to see if the wolves are inside. They exit and attack the party. One wolf had a choker chain while all of them had indentations and markings around their necks. Mindor dies during the fight. The wolves are killed. Investigating their cave shows a weird conical impact in the wall with cracks and scratches not made by any known tools. The party gathers Mindor's body and the wolf pelts and head back to the lumberjack camp.
On the path back to camp, fog rolls in with a guttural noise. A bear with the red symbol of Ozmodias on its forehead attacks. The party defeats it and the symbol fades. As the symbol fades a devil creature from the cave flies out and heads west and disappears. The party arrive back to town very late. They place Mindor's body at the temple to see if anything can revive him.
