We discovered the most recent abductions and discovered that only men have gone missing. We interviewed the families of the missing men, and a gentleman considered the “leader” of all the farmers. What we learned was that all of the men had some level of nefarious history/behavior, and we discovered odd magical affects located under the beds of the most recent victims. These items appeared to be dedicated to Urgathoa. Without much of a lead we asked, “of the men who are still here, who would you say is the worst of them all?” After a name was provided, we set to stake out near this person’s home. The first night there, this individual left their own home as if in a sleep walking state.

We followed this person for a mile or more until we reached a rocky outcropping where this person walked to and disappeared. When we approached the rocks, we discovered wet blood on the stone. We all cut our hands and placed them on the stone 1 by 1. Each time one of us did this, that person was sent elsewhere to a stone room with a mimic in it. Once we were all there, we killed the mimic and investigated the area. We found a few rooms, dead bodies and one animated corpse that was continually walking into a wall. We dispatched that corpse and ventured forth.

We then came upon the animated corpse of an orc with bright glowing blue eyes. This orc spoke to us. Telling us to leave them to their work. Defending the abductions as a justice to the people these men hurt. They went on saying they would not stop and we needed to leave before they killed us. Well we knew the orc was being controlled by someone so we killed the orc and continued to search.

We discovered a larger room with a cage in the corner that had several people inside and a man in the back of the room. As we entered the room, traps set off, blasting us with fire. We entered and engaged in combat with this man. After a short fight, the man had been killed. Throruc’s companion Spike was killed in the fray. While Spike’s loss was mourned, we found keys to the cage and release the prisoners. They were still entranced so one by one they were awoken and given some information as they were understandably panicked. It was in this cage that we found the nephew to the King, Wesley Iteralda. When awoken from the enchantment, Wesley went straight to Spike and worked a miracle by bringing him back to life. After some deeper explanation of what occurred, we escorted everyone out of this mysterious place. Once we made it back outside, the found men ran off for home. We made our way back to camp and reported to the Baron in the morning.

Mission complete.
