1227 Autumn

Some companions and a grog (Nicolaus, Urg, Paul's new companion Lorenzo the Redcap, and a new grog named, uh.......don't remember, but he's a monk who worships the Great Turtle) went to investigate a series of child and mother deaths in various villages. The locals believe a horrific monster of many names (12 and a half, to be precise) is the culprit, killing the mother and sucking the blood out of the baby with its teat. Yikes.

They narrowed their search until they learned about a cave at the center of these deaths. Nicolaus scouted out the elaborate tunnels inside until he heard a monstrous snoring coming from a hole in the wall. He returned to the group and they began debating how to lure the creature out, or if they even should lure it out in the first place since this was starting to get a little demon-y.

Turtle Worshipper took the initiative and uttered a shockingly realistic infant cry, followed by proclamations that a beautiful baby girl had been born in middle of the woods.

Out of the cave came 3 beautiful, though very strange, women. They asked about the child, and Nicolaus put his fast talking to good use, saying they were travelers and one of their party had given birth at their camp, but there was no midwife or wet nurse in the group to help.

Incredibly, the women believed him, and one of their number accompanied the group away from the cave and out if its line of sight.

Nicolaus ran ahead of the group under the guise of searching for the now-quiet baby, then spun and shot an arrow into the woman's shoulder.

She screamed "WE ARE BETRAYED, SISTERS!!!" and transformed into a hulking, 12 foot monster with giant sagging tits. Turned out the villagers were spot on.

Urg, Lorenzo and Turtle Monk dispatched of Faerie Monster 1 as the other two arrived, one of which was now TWENTY FEET TALL.

Combat ensues, it looks as badass as Nic Bartell imagined.

After a lengthy battle in which Urg absorbs many blows that would instantly kill a normal man, the creatures are defeated. The covenant gets a lot of vis (handily stored by Lorenzo's ring) and the villages are now extremely thankful to Baron Simeon.

Nicolaus now wishes to be known as Master Thief and Giant Lady Killer.
