Session 12 9/19/2021

Brottor, Elektrah, Arden, Lucia

Bill, Tasha, Michael, Megan

The party makes it's way out of the desert. The wolf, Elias, seems very edge-y and agitated. There is smoke rising from the forest just outside of the desert. Brottar sends Lucia to investigate. Lucia, who is usually very sneaky, stumbles and crashes through the woods. She ducks behind a tree and starts to run back to the party before bursting into flames. The party rushes to her aid and, after some water and healing, ask her what she saw. "Baatezu" is all she's able to say. This doesn't ring a bell with anyone in the party. They see a tall humanoid shadowy creature back in the trees. A ball of flame comes flying through the air, past Brottar's head and ignites a tree. The party fights, and eventually kills, a Barbed Devil (Hamatula). It was resisting non-magical attacks and flame attacks with ease, but was eventually destroyed. It seemed focused on getting/attacking Lucia and kept shouting in Infernal.

The party rests in the forest, glad to be out of the desert and into the cool and shady forest. After a restful night, the party hears several voices calling for a child (Shalla). They find a pair of young men wandering the forest. They explain they are looking for a young girl from their village and they could use whatever help they could get. The party is given directions to their village. The party finds its way there and split up to be more effective. Brottor heads to the Meeting House to arrange for food and lodging. Lucia heads to the well to speak to the locals. Arden and Elektrah head to the chapel to speak to the priest about what's been going on. There have been several children missing over the last several months. This is the 4th child to go missing. The ages of the children range from 2-5 years. The priest says they'll send the child's mother to the Meeting House after supper to speak to them and see if she can bring something of the child's for the wolf to track.

At the well, Lucia is talking to one of the mothers. Her little boy went missing from the bath. She noted that it was unreasonably warm in that room, as if someone had lit a fire in the fire place instead of just heating a kettle on the stove. She asks the party to find whatever they can find out about him, even if it means he's gone forever. The party agrees to tell her what they find and head back to the Meeting House to tell Brottor what they found.

XP 1,800. No loot.
