So...off we go and return to the others, and Fergus tells them that some spirit or deity or some such told him that a big bad was on it's way. Our majik users and priestly healers needed rest, as we had depleted their abilities, so we set up a watch and let them rest, hoping that we had some time before "it" would show up.
During my watch, Max muttered something about devouring us all, so that put me on edge... We can't ever be sure he is completely trustworthy since the whole possession thing- or whatever that was....
As far as I know, the other watches went quietly, and the resters got their majiks and stuff back. It didn't take long and we began to hear noise on the steps. Some guy tried to get us to help him do what he wanted. He admitted that he worked with Buttnell, or whatever the guy's name who's been letting the goblins overrun this hill. He even tried to buy me with JEWELRY...sure the stones have value, but my loyalty is not for sale. (At least not for a little jewelry, but I digress.)
He left and moments later another figure appeared. Appearance and declaration showed him to be a being from a lower plane. Fergus declared him evil, and we prepared attacks. The creature ignored an opening volley from Darg and Fergus and claimed tobe in search of absolution. The soft headed monk allowed it to come closer, saying he had to allow a creature begging for forgiveness and absolution to be given a chance to do so. Blah, blah, blah....
Of course it attacked as soon as it could see everyone, and it took some mighty blows to take it down, and finally finish it off. So much for being devoured.
