Session 2

[Dainejir]

The party entered the old hag's hut in the middle of the woods that Barlus and Drunigar were last known to have been. Approaching the hut they saw strange human-like effigies hanging in the trees as occult wards. The hut appeared to be occupied, and they found Barlus who had been blinded, but was inside. He said he had been at the ruined monastery with Drunigar when something rumbled and the two of them tried to escape. He was blinded by a trap and it sounded like Drunigar fell into a hole. Barlus spent many days in the forest running from creatures who were chasing him from the monastery.

He eventually made it back to his hut but he's not exactly sure how. He thinks some kind of forest spirit helped him.

In the hut the party sees some red mushrooms and Barlus tells them they grow at a dock a short distance away. They find the dock has been taken over by a plant leshy. They defeat the creature with help from a wild bear who has a paw stuck in a trap, who they befriend. The dock has a magical rowboat that they use to take Barlus back to town.



Once in town, they give Laurel the alchemist the red mushrooms to help fix the town's well water. They find that a local thug named Ferret would prefer to make money off the water crisis, but he seems to back down when he is confronted in the Sitting Duck bar.

Barlus was helped by the cleric at the small temple in town by the priestess Cirthana who thinks she can cure his blindness.

Barlus is worried about Drunigar who he hopes is still alive.
