We immediately spotted cow tracks leading away from the town and towards the nearby Mihast hills. Following the tracks, we killed two cultists by the mouth of a mountain and took their robes. > > Entering the mountain, we discovered a market plaza filled with stalls selling different types of Asian food. We met a few children there who seemed very complacent. We mimicked the actions of one of the cultists and gained entrance into some sort of ritual room where there were cultists, mages engaged in a ritual, and a large Noyin, the creature that had been feeding on the children. > > One by one, we killed each of them, with Haruka getting the final blow. Having ended the ritual, we all led the children back to their homes and reunited them with their parents. ^summary --- GM: [[Kyan]] ## The characters - [[Surina Prexijandilin]] (me) - [[Haruka]] ([[Kuya]]) - medium build, face covered in a demon mask with horns - Lots of hair - Large sword - Walks quietly, assesses threats - [[Kai'lan]] ([[Ate Kat]]) - Cute little elf - Comes from a family of warriors - fighting brings honor to the family - 12 moons ago, ruthless warrior invaded her country and each family had to contribute a warrior.
