Bennedict will stand up, politely excuse himself, and then walk away to vomit and recover his nerves.

I forgot, but when do we receive Exp to apply to our characters . In any case we have not investigated the church further to see what the hell was screaming anyway . So even if we got Exp now, we would have to wait to Apply a lvl up if that is applicable any way . Things still to do IC wise about the church and town .

Now that the excitement is over, do I know anything about that beastie?

Knowledge: The Planes perhaps? 0 +13 if yes.

It's unlike any daemon or angel or elemental Benn has studied.

It could be extra-planar... but given its amorphous composition, lair in a darkened stonework building, and rapid postmortem decomposition it might just as likely be a creation of alien science or a horror spawned in the deep earth.

Yet again, I have managed to be the smart guy without the appropriate skill to identify the monster. Amazing.

Ouch... I am glad we made it but why the next chapter is "part 2" of the horror? Aren't... aren't we done yet? Or there's more behind the cackling fever and the Shambling mouth than a defiled church?

Should i even roll, or is this going to be another arcana thing?

If it is, I would say Raen probably has a better idea of what happened.

BTW I can use touch of healing to refill to 1/2 my total hps. So I will have done that during the search of the town.

You said that some of the houses were boarded up still. If any of them had no sign of forced entry (IE it looks like the defenses held) Benn would have at given a tentative rap on the door to see if anyone was home.

No answer to the taps.

ToH noted.

These small gray-green humanoids are certainly not human.
Where bones show through charred tissue, the bone texture resembles wood.
What looks at first like burned and matted hair on the limbs and belly turns out to be something closer to the finger-like growths of certain funghi.
The seem sexless, or at least Benn can't tell.
Scorched 'hair' on the head resemble leaves and vines.
But they do seem animal-like in that they have mouths with teeth for eating, a lower hole for excretion, eyes, and so on.


Benn has read traveler's accounts of 'planimals' such as the fabled vegetable lamb and the barnacle goose. These creatures seem to be of a similar sort.


He may surmise that magic and toxins designed for use against plants would be helpful against these beings.

If he dissected one, he would doubtless learn more.

For a minute, I thought Raen had found a hoopak staff and we'd burned some kender to death.

I had mixed feelings...

What size of bag/container would it take to transport these bodies? Benn would be interested in studying them later, if nothing else out of scientific curiosity. A backpack? Rolled up in a cloak?
