Chapter 1: Year 1281, Summer

The gorbatdog cocks his head and growls deeply as Stitch rounds the corner.

Another resounding crash from behind the locked door happens. Anyone within five feet of that door, please make a con save as you notice a yellow-green cloud of gas roll out from under the edge of the door.

More scratching happens from across the room, through the opposite doorway from where you all came in (to the east of this main hall).

A soul-piercing scream fills your heads and ears, but not as if its coming from any identifiable direction, it's more of an ambient sound. Then, as suddenly as it shrieks it fades. The gorbatdog doesn't react. ML, you hear a snarling crash from behind the gorbatdog through one of the doors to the north of the hallway you are looking down.

As Marie-Louise touches the gorbatdog, it pulls its head back sharply, lip curling slightly before settling and leaning in.

A piercing howl echoes through the space from the hall where ML and the gorbatdog stand. The creature looks at the little girl with a cocked head before leaning down to touch his head to the top of hers. A quick glance at her, and he turns and runs down the hall.

Marie-Louise, you see him turn and disappear into a doorway on the south side of the hallway.

The scrabbling gets louder through the doorway and those of you in the main space see one more of the gorbatdog creatures come into view. Next to the gorbatdog is a horrid mass of flesh that looks to be melted and rotting at the same time. Viscous yellow bile-slime drips from its slack-jawed mouth and wicked black claws tip each finger. It wears no clothing. Two small-ish creatures flank the pair of disgusting creatures, with greenish skin, long antennae, and a mouth filled with dagger sharp teeth. With a squeal, these two creatures disappear from view! The creatures are about 50 feet from where most of the group is standing in the middle of the crossed hallways.

The creatures blink and pull their heads back sharply as Revelry's magic seems to shimmer around their heads briefly before fading from sight. Their eyes seem slightly off focus! Tolwir settles into a defensive position, bouncing lightly, able to dodge out of the way.

The gorbatdog lunges towards Revelry, having to exert itself to get within range. It barely manages to end up in front of the man that magicked it.(Movement and Action to dash to get next to you)
