Session 18

Session begins where Theo and Athtar collect their rewards from Father Denith. They agree to head out of the town to meet with Pete and Gimli and head back to the cabin to see if its any different at sundown.

They arrive at the cabin about a half-hour to an hour to sunset. They plan how to set themselves up.

Pete looks in from a window and sees the layer of dust has shifted, as if someone is either in the house or has been around. Pete also sees a set of footsteps going by the side. He can tell at least 5 people have been here before. However, it is unclear whether its the party's footprints from before or not.

The party retraces their steps exactly. Theo notices the footsteps on the ground are identical to his own.

Theo and Athtar hide in the brush by the side of the house, in view of the back door and outhouse. Gimli hides in the crops. He is partially obscured. Pete heads inside the house

Gimli can see movement but isn't sure what it is while laying in the ground. He sees shades of gray but cannot hear a sound from them. The movement shifts out of sight as it goes around the corner of the house. Gimli stands up to make himself visible to Athtar and Theo. Athtar and Theo make out the shadow of Gimli waving his arms.

Athtar interprets this as Gimli having seen something. He mimics binoculars and shrugs. While doing so, he sees something in the corner of his eye. He can't make it out, but he saw movement.

Athtar whispers to Theo, way too loudly and alerts everyone in the area that he saw something. The area goes silent.

"Where is it?" a cold chilling voice echoes from the riverside. A dim blue glow shines from around the corner. Two Corpselights appear from the garden around Gimli.

Combat begins.

The pale figure moves towards Theo, moving right past Athtar. It seems to want the dagger. It makes a ghostly whail. Both Athtar and Theo are not affected.
