Not too sure what Alandra is doing in there with all that blood… maybe it is some sort of friend ritual… sure… maybe…right? Feels like we are being pulled into something sinister here AND we are all still drunk. Great.

Story[]

Long Story[]

The party stands before the shack of Wally Bonebraids. Inside, Wally looks to be dying, bleeding into a bucket below him. It appears to be some kind of ritual, being performed by Mistress Alandra Thorne. Screech disappears, and soon, a figure emerges from the chimney inside the shack. It's a dark, brooding, vengeful figure of the night. Wearing a dog costume. A dog costume, with several long eye stalks emerging from the head. The figure commands Thorne to stop, and introduces himself as... Beholder Doodle! A fight breaks out, with Beholder Doodle fighting inside the shack. The rest of the party fights outside, unbeknownst to Thorne/Wally.

Beholder Doodle throws a Batarang Dogarang at the blood bucket. The bucket shatters, spilling blood all over the floor. It appears that he's foiled the ritual! Unfortunately, this appears to be exactly what Thorne wanted, as the blood begins to form into the shape of a large hog-like creature. The "Blood Hog" joins Thorne in the fight, and appears to be immune to any damage that isn't magical.

Selene summons Maximilian's Earthen Grasp and attempts to Earthen Grasp at Thorne, but she too strong for it. T'Chuck creates a Spiritual Weapon in the shape of an old shovel, which attacks the foes. A weakened Wally attempts to join the fight using a crossbow, but Beholder Doodle makes short work of him, knocking him unconscious before he can hurt anyone. Lucee is also helping. They give some magical crossbow bolts to R'Oarc, so she can do damage to the Blood Hog, and fires a few Fire Bolt crossbows bolts at it themselves. Not to be outdone, Selene blasts a massive hole in the side of the wall with a Fireball, resulting in them being seen. Fortunately, or unfortunately, Thorne disappears before any more damage can be done. All that's left is the Blood Hog, which T'Chuck's Spiritual Weapon shovel eventually clubs to death.

With the fight finally over, Beholder Doodle takes his leave, offering to appear again, should need for him arise. Then Screech shows up. He's covered in blood, and claims to have stubbed his toe earlier. T'Chuck ties up Wally, and the party books it to the Temple of Reya, where they believe Thorne to have absconded to. She's not there, but what is there is the locked door that leads to Thorne's chambers. R'Oarc is able to pick the lock, but what they find isn't the chambers of a Priestess of Reya. Instead, it's the chambers of a Priestess of Ugnos! The symbol of Ugnos is on the ground. And hanging from chains on the wall, are two small gnomes: Professor Devin Decacog and Dictionary Doug!

Short[]

Screech assumes the form of a new vigilante, Beholder-Doodle! He bursts into Wally's shack and fights Alandra Thorne and Wally Bonebraids. During the fight, Wally's blood turns into a Blood Hog! Wally is knocked out, and the Blood Hog is destroyed, but Thorne teleports away. Beholder-Doodle turns back into Screech, and the party goes to the Temple of Reya to stop Thorne. There, they find Professor Decacog and Dictionary Doug being held prisoner!

Trivia[]

  • Day 9 of the campaign.
  • Screech is referenced as having a level of a fighter or something like that, so I think he's only a level 4 Rogue, and level 1 Fighter (or something like that).
