Session 2

General Summary

The party stopped for the night at Waymeet where they were met my the mysterious Myrddin. He told them a tale of The Demon Prince's lieutenants. One was called Artenach and was never bound or banished when The Demon Prince was defeated. His whereabouts is unknown. The other was a demon known as the Scarlet Lord whose domain was the underdark. He warned the party that the Scarlet Lord had been banished a year before The Demon Prince and they realised that meant he was due to be returning about now.   The party headed on and reached the capital of Littlebrook and were dismayed to find the city gates open and the streets deserted. Within seconds of passing into the street they were attacked by a patrol of city watchmen, shouting "For the Scarlet Lord!!". They quickly realised these city watchmen were infested with some sort of fungal disease as were spitting globs of fungus at our heroes. They killed them off, shut the gates and headed for The Cathedral.   At The Cathedral Cardinal O'Connor healed Traubon, and the group heard the tale of what had happened to the city. Apparently a horde of orcs had attacked out of the barren wastes to the south and the army were off fighting them. Then this strange red water backed up out of all the sewers and wells and everyone who was exposed to it died and came back as these weird fungal abominations dubbed Scarlet Children.   The party were told a group of knights of the watch and some local militia men called the Headhunters had headed into the sewers to investigate but had not been heard of since. They were asked to enter the sewers and find out what was going on.   Soon the party found themselves wandering a set of natural caves in the underdark, braving deadly perils and fighting many evil foes, including many scarlet children, a gigantic lizard thing called a behir and a dangerous mind flayer. The survived, just and returned to the surface to rest and recover, before entering the caves once more.
