Chapter Three - Return to the Mournland

Torhak fires his bolt and hits the creature near them as they pass. The creature hisses through its teeth at the minotaur.

Kalli nocks two arrows, taking aim at the two creatures on their right. Seeing where 37 is leading, she spurs Stella to take the lead. She her first arrow pierces Torhak’s victim in its glowing red eye and the creature sinks beneath the water. Her second arrow merely grazes the other creature. Kalli then charges ahead toward the bridge.

Dubdub raises his clawed staff toward the black canopy above and a violent cloud spontaneously begins to swirl above the group. He points his staff at the creatures that now fall behind the cart. A dazzling display of crackling, purple lightning courses through the creatures. The giant hyena is silhouetted in the brilliant light as only one creature is still swimming.

As the tempest swirls overhead, Laulalith the Bard fires an eldritch blast at the creature nearest to her. The blast causes the creature’s arm to go limp, he drops his net with a splash and stops advancing. Seeing that the creature is mortally wounded, the elf fires her second blast at the last one from Dubdub’s lightning strikes. The blast is enough to end the miserable creature’s existence.

The crippled creature drops his shield and throws his spear in defiance at Laulalith. She easily snatches the spear out of the air.

Another jumps onto the wagon’s side and stabs at Dubdub. The spear sticks into the druid’s arm and he grunts in pain.

Torhak similarly faces a creature jumping onto his side, stabbing at the minotaur, but he blocks the attack with his shield.

The last tries to grapple the poor axe beak once more. The embattled creature is grabbed and dragged deeper into the swamp. The creature caws loudly before it disappears beneath the surface.
