April 20-21, 2946 The PCs weighted their options and decided to try and get the elves of Taur Romen to stick around to help protect the hut at least until Valoric was turned into the Pukel-man. Callevlio, their leader, stated that he did need to return to his realm to bring the Hut’s water to his kingdom in an attempt to heal the land. The PCs had Aenen begin the ritual to transform Valoric into a Pukel-man. He plans to “plant” him at the entrance of the Hut so that Woedwyn would have to kill her brother to get in. Aenen also agreed to make tailsmen out of teeth for both the Heroes. Together with Callevlio and his elves, the PCs proceeded to the cave of the creatures. There they found the pertified remains of Sis and her gang and a trail of blood leading farther into the cave. Carefully sneaking into the furthest reaches, they discovered the creature they incapacitated still sleeping off its injuries. Due to their invisibility, the proximity of the kitten, and some good rolls, the PCs (amazingly) were able to drain the creature of enough blood to paint Skari and then poured the healing waters of the Hut down its throat. Just as they were finishing, the other creature, apparently badly damaged from the tussle with Sis’s band, awoke and took notice. It chased the PCs out of the cave where the elves waited. Together, they proceeded to the Hut. As they approached, they heard screaming coming from the direction of the Hut. As they closed, they saw Valoric with teeth pinning him to the ground and blood pooling in a small stone circle at his feet. He was already stone up to his knees and many of the blood vessels in his neck were burst. His ragged voice was not far from failing as Aenen stared directly into his face, The other Wose formed a circle around him playing drums and loudly chanting. Since they were not able to communicate with Aenen, the PCs painted Skari under Callevlio’s eye bringing the rogue back to his old self. Reunited, the group retired to the village and Fosco prepared a beautiful meal. As Valoric’s tortured screams gragled off, the Party truly relaxed for the first time in a very, very long time. Looking to the north, they saw the birds going crazy at the edge of the Wose territory.
