34 Running Errands

Session Report
    Since there weren't enough horses for sale in Falkirk, Tibbs and Elyshore went down to Mayburgh to buy some. Just before their return to Falkirk they encountered enormous footprints leading away to the East from the location of a Castle that had recently appeared near Falkirk. No castle was found at the site, just a depression in the earth 100 yds across and 10' deep.

    All this they ignored to go fight lizardmen in the Jungle. The classic lizardman tactic is to spring out of their mound and onto the nearest adventurer when their mound is approached. After 4 lizardmen were dispatched, and the Hireling Pembroke killed, the lizardmen stopped emerging from their mound.

    Rather than crawl through the mire into a dank hole to root out the reptilian rakes, the two adventurers decided to go check out a nearby ruined tower.

    It late afternoon by this time, and through the gloaming came the flickering light of a bonfire, and the infernal ululations of revellers who danced round it. As Tibbs and Elyshore emerged into the small clearing they saw the tower, and the revellers. Which revellers were processing around, not only a bonfire, but a large crude idol of green-black stone, depicting a monstrous scaly humanoid form with the head of an octopus and the wings of a bat.

    One of the revellers approached the adventurers with a greeting:

    "ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

    This, not being understood by the adventurers, precipitated a polite but tense conversations about the rudiments of OLD ONE belief and practice, which so unnerved the players that the characters turned tail and ran back to Falkikrk.
