Op'skith Chona: Beastmaster

Day 1-3

After agreeing to help Ewan Deepdigger to find his missing courriers Wyman & Drucilla we travelled three days south to Borgan's Rest. Wyman & Drucilla were long overdue and had not made it to the town.

Several hours Northeast from the town we ran into a small group of Preces. These vicious large rabbits appeared to be more than defensive and attacked us. Stronger than they look for their size, I assume it's in the bones. They also had a poison attack.

Day 4

We came across the Anklar Homestead and were pleased to find everyone alive and well. In the night we heard noises and the next morning we tracked down a small group of cultist's of Raggok. They had captured and tortured Wyman & Drucilla. The cultists were quickly taken care of and two were captured. The only lead we have is that all the cultists were humans. Will need to keep an eye out in any small towns of mainly humans.

Day 5

Came across and helped the Dawnmist Homestead. They were holed up in their house and fearful of cultist's. While they were taking shelter their livestock escaped the pen. Unfortunately the livestock returned and instead of cattle they were actually Genhis would had recently given birth to demonic little animals that eat everything in sight. Some of the livestock were saved and the baby Genhis were killed. We advised the farmer's to use the remaining adult Genhis as steak so we dont' have any more births./

Day 6 & 7

Return Trip was uneventful.

From the Journal of Op'skith Chona, T'skrang Beastmaster

The following is carved in small throalic runes on a preces skull.

Met others in market.
Irwin: Wise. Cautious. Useful, but not dangerous.
Jexel: Fast. Clever. Too quick, always need eyes open around this one.
Bortruk: Steadfast. Protective of Irwin. Weak to speed and surprise.

Sent south by Deepdigger to return two wayward ones. Dwarf and Obsidiman. 3 days long walking, no trouble, easy travel that way. Small camp, blacksmith. Little to see, hunted further. Not find namegivers, but preces. Vicious beasts, sharp teeth, poison claws. Dangerous prey. Avoid the groups. Moved on to elf hut. Simple folk. Whispers in the night, Raggok plagues this area. His madmen held our quarry. Easy prey, foolish and aggressive. Trap would make even easier, hardly see beyond their own knives. Others left 2 alive? Odd. Recovered quarry, insisted we help others. Then final human house. Even simpler folk, very afraid of cultists, suspicious but not wise, easy to trick if needed. Kept ghena as cattle. Easy prey, single minded, easily divided and destroyed. Returned with meat and pumpkins and steel. 3 more days in returning. Took silver.
