Time to tell the story! Kehehe
Kakkariel and Kylindra went on an adventure and came back short-handed. I dunno why they were upset, (people die all the time!) but revenge is always fun so I joined them on a quest to bury the Ghast that did the deed.
Turns out that getting to revenge is not so fun. We walked and we walked in the summer heat, weirdly insistent on staying put at night. It was hot as a thermal geyser, I tell you! Ash was very sad, and so was I. So were the others, I think. They definitely complained more than me.
Oh, one night a screaming cave mountain lion attacked! That shit was spookier than the Ghast. Didn't matter though, the Druid girl put a spear through it. Ash helped too. The big cat was rabid, but it's dead and we're not so who cares?
After forever, we made it to the cave that Kak and Kyl said was where the Ghast lived (unlived?). There was supposed to be some sorta big frog too. I went inside without fear and totally didn't slip on a pool of blood. Ash kept lookout. The Ghast wasn't there, but there was a lot of blood left behind. Maybe that's where the screaming cave mountain lion came from?
Our Druid tracked the Ghast back in to the woods. We ran after it until we got tired and went to sleep. That's when the Ghast struck! He brought friends this time, a Ghoul and a… ummm… I dunno. It was the big frog, but it wasn't. It's complicated. It stank like the Ghouls did, and had Ghoul arms. A little spooky. Oh, right! It was a Slurk. A baby Slurk came in to my cave once, it tasted like boogers.
Anyway, I DIGRESS. Alydra started waking people up before she got paralyzed by the Ghouls. We struck back! The battle turned before anyone died again, but it was a close thing. Those claws hurt! The fight ended with a total Ghast beatdown. I felt that surrounding the thing and laying in to it with blow after blow until it was reduced stinky paste really brought us closer together as a group.
The end.
