Ragnorra Session 24

Start: 9 pm, Sunday, Flamerule 18, 1396

After the chat in the inn, the party spoke with a purple dragon knight loitering outside of the Silver Wink.

They tipped him off about some goings-on and intrigue regarding the political situation, and the strange events taking place in the countryside related to the cult, and persuaded him to gather guards to patrol the countryside.

They retired to the wagon and rested.

In the morning, they noticed a distinct lack of morning birds, and upon further investigation, all sounds of nature. The three of them decamped around the woods north of Waymoot, and found tumor-riddled birds and a less afflicted rat. They agreed, the bird may have originated from around the plungepool.

The three of them decided to pay cleric Roy Challand of Tymora a visit in Waymoot. They provided him samples of the wildlife, and mentioned Trollkiller's wife and daughter in Suzail, and a possible hold the Darstans may have on him.

With all of these events wrapped up, they decided to head west.

Along the road, they spotted what appeared at first to be a family along the road, similar to families they have come across previously while in transit.

Ronja was tipped off first by the old man's aura. He seemed possessed to Ronja.

She quietly tipped off her companions, and they prepared for combat. After rebuffing the man's advances to "talk about things" and repeated pestering to speak with them, they initiated combat. It went rather smoothly.

They dispatched the young man, the young woman, and the older woman, and decided to spare the old man to question.

He seemed to no longer be possessed after being incapacitated and revived.

It was as if the man was completely snapped out of whatever held him. He was distraught at first, and explained his name is Leonard Talis, and was formerly a druid in an order outside of Minroe. A man with purple skin offered him a drink some time past, and after this he had a vivid dream of a "formless, and looming, remorseful" entity identifying itself as "Vane".

This entity took control of Leonard after this, and led him, before his very eyes, to commit various atrocities on behalf of the cult, as Leonard admitted, including leading his own family into their fold.

Leonard seemed committed to atoning for the crimes he was forced to commit, and the party agreed to let him come along for the time, as long as he is restrained.

Vix fed his family to Omen and Montgomery, outside of sight.

Omen and Montgomery must feed in three days.
