The party (Idky, Maedhros, Kinsa, Artec, Katya, and Remort) decides to help Borlon deal with the creature from the Far Realms. The first night, the party simply uses a protection from evil to keep the little girl from having nightmares. The following nights, with magical assistance, Borlon telepathically connects with his daughter, Maryibre, as she sleeps and experiences the nightmares about the creature so that the heroes can get some information to help scry the monster.
They see in the dream: The creature is some sort of shapeshifter who has chosen the child as a host to anchor it in this world. It was no longer linked to Yavin since the mirror broke and Yavin left the world. It is corrupting Torsh and will cause horrible effects to the ecosystem if left unchecked. They now have a physical description of the creature, which Borlon shares with Idky, Maedhros, and Katya.
In the morning, both Borlon and Idky try to scry for the creature in a natural setting away from the plateau but fail. The party camps out to observe Maryibre's dreams again that night with access to the natural pools. Unfortunately, neither Idky nor Borlon are able to scry that night either. The heroes try a third night with similar results.
On the fourth day, Katya offers to beckon the creature to them so they don’t have to go looking for it. It appears as a 12-foot tall, 20-foot long creature. It is vaguely slug-shaped and pinkish-gray. It is covered with tentacles with teeth and tendrils. It has longer tentacles along the sides ending in blades. Its smell is foul and it leaves behind a slime. The slime changes and morphs the plants it touches. It comes complete with a fear aura.
Remort succumbs to the fear and runs off into the jungle. Maedhros and Borlon also succumb and runs into the shelter. Maryibre, however, resists the fear. Artec starts shooting. The little girl gets a welt on her arm when the creature is hit. A second hit causes her to let out a scream, and she collapses from pain with blood fountaining from a wound on her leg. Katya successfully severs the monster, pissing it off. This also severs the connection with the little girl, so Artec is now able to freely attack it.
The creature casts dispel magic, removing the protection from evil, the fear on Maedhros and Borlon, and Katya’s sever spell. Artec kills it with a final arrow. The blob oozes corrupting slime around. Borlon abjures it away. The damage has already been done on the plants. Idky and Artec go after Remort and collect him back to the group.
Borlon casts consequence and determines that it spawned while there near the collapsed old pyramid.
Eeps: 1734 each
Borlon teleports the group back to Old Neeshfall, where he leaves little Maryibre, but picks up Gilean before teleporting the party to the pyramid site. Artec finds the evidence of the creatures’ presence. He tracks them to a “cave” made of fallen rock and debris from the pyramid. Walking in, they come upon 3 translucent tubular creatures 12 feet tall and 6 feet wide. They float a little bit. Upon seeing them, they rush to attack. Artec hits one (but does no damage), and Remort mind thrusts it. Maedhros kills two with a lightning bolt. Kinsa faerie fires the remaining one. Artec finishes it off.
They track around looking for more creatures. They run into a small megalosaurus. Artec tries to drive it off with an arrow to the knee. Gilean rushes up to it. Katya hits it with Melf’s acid arrow. Borlon psychic crushes it and Maedhros magic missiles it to death.
Commune with nature reveals that they got them all, but some natural creatures have ingested corrupted plants, which will mess up the ecosystem a bit for a while. They spend some time finding them and stomping them out before returning to the city.
