In the morning the pcs question a few homeless Kelid old people about the seastone statue. An old woman gives up the name Auren Vrood. The formal charges are read against the beast at noon. The pcs head out at about 1:00 to begin investigating. At about 3:00 the pcs meet the traveling freak show known as the Crooked Kin and attempt to rescue the pinhead Aleece with the help of their Strongman Egil trollblood. A dangerous phase spider attacked Egil and he was quickly slain by the poison. After the battle the pcs found the body of Aleece wrapped in webbing. The pcs brought both bodies back to the Crooked Kin for burial. There was much grieving.
The pcs arrive in the swamp village of Morast a while after sunset. The pcs talk with the village elder Lazne. They talk to him about the Beast of Lepidstadt and convince him to boat them to a nearby island. At the island they discover a manticore nest and are attacked by a mated pair of manticores. At firs the pcs seem to be in great danger but Gregor used his powers to ground the manticores one at a time where they were vulnerable.


Then the pcs searched the island and found a camp and a boat that contained evidence that Wretch was not the one attacking villagers. Then the pcs began the journey back to Lepidistatd.

759 Pharast 16th Ravengro, Canterwall county in Ustalav

Just after midnight, Glade and Grim quickly ride into Ravengro and Glade tells Gregor what he saw. Then a messenger arrives and rouses the village telling them that the Beast of Lepidstadt was spotted in the area and that everyone should arm themselves and grab torches and hunt the monster.
The pcs act first and begin the hunt with the advantage of knowing where the beast less than an hour ago. The pcs quickly corner the Beast and the battle is joined. The Beast is unable to get around Gregor's shield so the creature attacking and pummels Hadhod into unconsciousness.
 
 Gregor thereafter does the same to the beast knocking him unconscious. When the Beast comes to it appears to have given up and allows itself to be captured. The mob is getting organized by then and Gregor decides that it would be best to leave before they find the Beast. So the pcs decide to rendezvous with Kendra in Tamrivena. This gives Kendra time to obtain a wagon and supplies and fashion a huge cloak for the Beast to hide his hideous appearance.

Glade charms a horse and sets out on a dangerous and harrowing mission to retrieve his funds from Olaf to repay his debt to the church of Pharasma for his ring of feather falling. On the way there he out runs any pursuit using goodberry and create water to save time. On arriving at Olaf's trading post word of Glade arrival is carried in haste to Ulfgar who has an important message for Glade to deliver. Glade is to tell Hadhod that his brother has been accepted into the 9th Battalion! An incredible honor but one that must be postponed until Princess Solvanna has a new bodyguard. The return to Ravengro is even more dangerous for Glade and after he crosses the border to Ustalav his horse is shot out from under him by bandits. Glade is forced to walk the rest of the way to Ravengro which lengthens the trip greatly. But after dodging many dangers he arrives within two day's march of Ravengro (Pharast 14th). There he finds Grim the dire wolf out hunting and rides him the rest of the way.
