At the Witch’s Hut
The original band – Erithacus, Christoph and Seamus – investigate a witch hut they were directed to by the woman at Roots & Remedies to try and find “rat tail” herb. They it abandoned. Find cauldren with fey carved into it. Find corpse wrapped up in burial robes, sprouting fuzzy mold.
As Erithacus goes further into the room, the caulderan starts walking awkwardly forward, chomping at him. Pot attacks Eri, biting him, then swallowing him whole.
Cauldron comes charging out and attacks Seamus. He misses with his harpoon and avoids its bite. Chris moves to engage, flanking the creature, which then rings metallically from a blow from Seamus. It regurgitates Eri, then bites and swallows the fisherman. He pummels the creature from inside, it then crunches him, knocking him unconscious.
Christoph is bit again, swallowed and drops unconscious. The cauldron then spits out the rough and turns on Eri, biting him and knocking him unconscious. And now the entire party is down, pummeled into submission.
Lumber Camp
The other three adventures arrive at the lumber camp, ask about those who proceeding them. One guy recognized them, says they talked to Milan. They seek out this lumberjack, ask for directions to the witches hut.
The three hurry along their directions hoping to catch up to the first group. On the way, they run into trouble in the form of a hobgoblin hunter. Unfortunately for the hunter, the three are much tougher than they might look. They quickly dispatch the hobgoblin and his two crow-like pets, then continue on their way.
