Assault on the Wolf Lair

Lunadain 11th of Flaurmont

The Prince of Demons

Thallan and his Elves acted as scouts while the rest of the Grey Company advanced to the Wolf Lair. They followed the landmarks just like the Fairy King of Horses and Wyrtung had instructed them to. Checking their bundles of wolfsbane, the Company moved in. The Company entered
through a 5 foot high cave opening that led to a large, steep sided canyon like space that was open to the night sky above. The bright light of the full moon illuminated the entire area and revealed several smaller cave openings around the perimeter of the space. The moonlight also shone down on a disturbing statue of a winged demon overlooking the area from a ledge high above. It was identified as Orcus, the Prince of Demons. 

Before the investigation could progress further, they were beset by wolves, several normal wolves and a large Dire Wolf, similar to the ones the Goblins had used as mounts. The normal animals were easily held at bay but soon Bailakask revealed herself, emerging from one of the many small caves located inside the larger lair. She howled with rage then cursed and challenged the Company in Traladaran, taunting them all the while.

Silver bullets

Marcel moved forward and engaged her while Griffin followed, trying to keep the other wolves from attacking Marcel from behind. Akaios and Burik were dealing with the other wolves while Ree got into position to pepper the Werewolf with her silver sling bullets. After a short duel, Marcel emerged victorious and Bailakask lay dead in a pool of her own dark blood, bleeding from numerous puncture wounds to her vitals.

The Wolfmother is dead.

Notes

Missing 2 players tonight, but we pressed on anyway. This was pretty much an all combat session, but that's ok sometimes. We do a lot of sessions with no fighting at all!
