GM Recap<\/h1>\n

Session 27<\/b> (Day 31)\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Dreams<\/strong>!<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. It was a frigidly cold day at <\/span>Scarlet Moon Hall<\/span>. Not just the smoke, but ground effect fog<\/strong> made vision no better than at night.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Moony and William scouted up the hill. At the first camp, they run across old, scruffy acquaintances, <\/span>Storol and Wiglaf<\/strong>, whom they met shortly after their departure from <\/span>Sacred Stone Monastery<\/span> (S.17<\/a>). The pair were apparently really bored here, waiting for something to happen, and grew increasingly belligerent, eventually revealing themselves as <\/span>werewolves <\/span><\/i>and attacking the two heroes. Moony ran for help, while William tried to fend them off. The rest of the party caught up, and eventually killed the werewolves (made a bit easier by their having their hybrid form ripped from them by William’s <\/span>Moonbeam.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n
  4. The violence did not sit well with the quartet of <\/span>cranky druids<\/strong> the next camp over, who seemed ready to defend themselves if attacked. The party quietly backed down, and returned downhill.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. They then visited (all together!) the camp immediately east, <\/span>Faith determined to raise, then free, the dead bear. This plan outraged the “druids” there (<\/span>Ingulf<\/span> and <\/span>Aylbrith<\/span>), who then attacked. Ingulf was taken down quickly, but Aylbrith let loose two fireballs<\/em> — the second killing himself and, nearly, Faith.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. All this took place under the watchful eyes of that already-defensive quartet of grumpy druids.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Individual and group heals, along with a Short Rest, left the party with the question of what to do next.<\/span>\n
