Chapter One - Into the Shadows

[Radrabbit]

As the three of you burst through the trees, you see another muck monster.
This one is facing away from you and seems to be entangled in vines and creepers.
In front of the creature two figures seem to be attacking it.

The warforged doesnt hesitate to ask question. His programming is simple. the enemy of my enemy is my ally. and he brings that sword down on the Muckman.

Sade will hold off attacking until she is sure of the new comers.

Your sword connects with the muckman the same time as the figure in front of you runs it through with a rapier.
You see Rodrigo and Lothien coming through the trees towards you.

[jemmus]

Lothien's eyes visibly shift from gazing into some distant other place and into the here and now. The vines and creepers around the doubly-demolished mud thing wilt. "3! Sade, Qelnaar, good to see you!" Doesn't see Awwrak and Kura.... Fears the worst may have happened. But turns to look at Rodrigo's claw injury and how he's doing. "Rodrigo mate, are you alright, need healing?"

"Rodrigo mate, are you alright, need healing?"

"Haha! Finally we find you." Rodrigo grins widely at their comrades, then winces as the deep gash throbs in time with his pulse. "I'm all right if you need to save your strength for others more wounded than I, my friend," he replies. "But if you have healing to spare, I won't argue."

[Rex]

Sade

"These muck creatures were everywhere all of a sudden. Are you all right?"

[jemmus]

Lothien

To Rodrigo: 'Unfortunately I have only one healing until the morning, so we'll have to decide how to use it.'
To the group: 'Is anyone else wounded? And... are Awwrak and Kura alright?'

[Rex]

Sade

"They went ahead, we need to go meet them soon. I would prefer to leave now we were waiting for you. I am unhurt."

[jemmus]

Lothien

In his usual quiet and kind of monotonous voice.'Hmm... no time for a rest and mending up. Rodrigo, I don't like to do it, but I think we should save the healing spell for later. We still have traveling through these woods to do tonight. If we get into another fight, be careful, and I'll be watching for you to need a healing. When we get to Awwrak he should be able to do some healing for us as well. But if you have an inkling that you should have the healing now instead of later, please say it friend. You would know.'

Rodrigo

"Keep your spells, amigo. Who knows what else the evening holds for us?"

He nods to the others. "Let us go."

[jemmus]

Lothien

In his usual quiet, kind of monotonous voice. "I don't want to make noise while we're moving, so before we go, I'd like to share some information. There is an abbey in this Mistbane forest. Its monks were friends of the local druids, but they disappeared long ago. I have heard that a cult of evil druid-like people now live in these woods. Perhaps they caused the demise of the monks.
When Rodrigo and I were on the path to the clearing, we encountered a giant spider. Not a natural one, but a monster that glowed green and left glowing webs in the trees. And now there are these monsters made of bone and mud. I'm not an experienced traveller and my knowledge is limited, but I've never before heard of a glowing giant spider or a muck monster. Perhaps something in this forest is creating monsters?"

Lothien sheathes his scimitar, adjusts his pack, and prepares to start the trek.

[Rex]

Sade

"Good information, anything is possible. We are headed to a ruin the others found, maybe it is connected."

The muckman seems to be a rotten body covered in thick mud.
There are rags of what must have been clothing of some kind.
Apart from that, these creatures seemed mindless.

After searching through the remains, looks up at the others he relays his findings. there is biological materials inside the muddy outer casings.
