Savage Harvest- adventure thread

(Okay Sasha would like to move closer to check it out as soon as that is okay then I guess)

Luke watches Sasha and keeps aim with his bow

Sasha approaches the sleeping sheep at the edge of the flock. She finds the multiated body of one of the sheep and next to it, in the grass she sees a grotesque figure. About the size of a halfling, it has twisted features, hairless but wolf like face, long claws on humanoid arms,  hunched over body with canine legs. Around its neck is a metal collar with a short length of chain that looks like it broke. It’s face and claws are soaked in the blood of the sheep.

Sasha kneels by the mutilated sheep, tears streaming down her face. She had seen her sheep die to predators before but it was always as painful to her.

Once William reaches the creature he immediately runs back to his stuff by the fire. He quickly searches for his Manacles and brings them with him. Hopefully before the spell ends.

Luke keeping aim  shouts “What’s going on over there?”

Aarons runs toward Sasha, stopping when he gets to her. Assuming he’d see the animal, he’d position himself between Sasha and the creature and yell at it, “Get the hell back you beast!”

Ready an action to bring the hatchet down on this thing if it tries to make a move toward them. 

Loran shuffles away from his sleeping spot and hides behind Luke. Wanting to go check on the sheep and try to comfort Sasha but too afraid to get close to that... thing. "Oh no poor Sasha... What do you think that thing is?"

((Does Wiliam have enough time to put the Manacles on the creature?))

((Does Wiliam have enough time to put the Manacles on the creature?))

 Yes, sleep lasts a good while…

the ugly thing doesn’t move, it’s eye firmly shut. Truly a contrast with the fluffy sheep, fast asleep, laying next to it

William puts on the Manacles :) (The ugly thing needs to make DC 20 Strength or Dex check to escape them)

Shall we wake it up? Maybe it can speak.

"Just take the foul thing out of my sight." Sasha snarls before returning to her weeping.

Aaron, Luke? Wanna help me drag this... uhm.. thing away?

Luke lowers his bow and walks over to William "Should we tie it to a tree as well? Better to be safe than sorry..." Luke shrugs while looking down at the beast. "Reminds me of the Bidderboo we fought in the cave thing with the goblins"

Aaron nods, “Uh, yeah - yeah. Let’s bring it to that tree over there.” He grabs one of the creatures legs, and drags it with Will.

The 3 of us tie the creature with Manacles and all to said tree.

(Sorry for being so quiet, on my way back from vacation!)

 Gerty watched the thing closely as the boys tie it up to the tree, axe in hand.  “Do you guys think this is the thing that attacked the others back there?  Man, I’m not so sure about what it’s going to do when it wakes up.  Hey Sasha!  How long does this spell last?”

Sasha turns to Gerty, trying to collect herself but her face is streaked with tears. "It should wake up any moment now, I'd better not be near that thing when it does or I don't know what I'll do." She says angrily, turning to hold one of her sleeping sheep for comfort.

(Duration is 1 minute :-) And welcome back)

You double check the manacles and your knotted ropes around the tree. You can feel temperature of the air begin to cool as it does in the hours before dawn. It has sort of an icy bite and a fog begins to develop along the ground. The creature seems to really be zonked out, sleeping well beyond the duration of the spell. And as the sun begins to lighten the sky from his hidden perch, whomever is currently watching the captive sees signs of it beginning to stir.

Aaron watches as his adrenaline pumps untapped energy into his veins, "Hey! It's waking up!" He stands next to it - handaxe in one hand, shortsword in the other.
