Log

Moonday 4 - Godsday 5 Harvester 579

• Continued deeper into the earthen tunnels.
• Discovered large chamber where a mud maze had been constructed of thick, clay-like mud.
• Attacked by R.O.U.S.s!
• Came across Bighetti's Band trapped in the mud. They said they had been overwhelmed by some sort of "rat man" who stuck them in the mud until he got hungry.
• Rescued Bighetti's Band from the mud and escorted them out of the caves. On the way out, the party came across an injured badger. Maeni healed the badger who then wandered off.
• Returning to the cave system, the party tracked the "rat man's" footprints to another large chamber. This one was dominated by a large pit filled with mirky water. While attempting to walk along the edge of the pit, Christaan and Erdan fell in. The mirky water turned out to be an ooze that attacked the unlucky two!
• After defeating the ooze, the party came to the last chamber. Where they encountered the "rat man", a ratfolk named Blood Whisker. The rat man got the jump on the party by ambushing them. During the first, Blood Whisker called to his R.O.U.S.s for aid. The northwest corner of the chamber literally bubbled and churned with rats...
• After defeating Blood Whisker, the party discovered Thistle, the plant-creature that ran the Fairweather Commune, submerged and tortured by the pit of rats. The party freed him and in exchange he granted the party with his magical staff. After learning that the party had rescued his badger companion, Thistle reached into his chest and pulled out a large topaz called the Eye of the Night.
• The party discovered that the pit of rats was created by an opened bag of endless rats.
• Weary and bloodied, the party returned to Hommlet.

Experience Earned

Treasures Acquired

• bag of endless rats
• Eye of the Night
• staff of birdcalls
• (2) potions of healing

Notes

• Thistle told the party that the people that attacked Fairweather were seeking the Eye of the Night. About the Eye of the Night he said, "In the wrong hands, this tool of peace and nature could be corrupted. An ill omen rides the wind, and I fear the raiders that destroyed Fairweather are merely servants of a greater threat beating like a twisted heart in the darkness."
