How many Cosbies are here, anyway?
Fuelwen: Off the ship, we encountered a Cosby and his fishermen. At the time, I wondered how many such creatures were on this island- surely, he could point us to Theddy. But the party gave him a pass, and went on to find Brilla's family.
The Temple
Fuelwen: And find them we did. In the courtyard outside of the temple, I learned that Brilla's people prefer to prolong childhood beyond any reasonable extent. A cousin of hers had a retinue of peers in tow, and despite being around my age, he was still in school. It was difficult not to scoff. Despite their obvious immaturity, I joined them for a tour of the town and the surrounding areas.
The Woods
Fuelwen: While the others did whatever they were up to around the temple, the children took me out into the woods. A broad circular valley marked the wilderness, and they showed me that the creatures were twisted and brutal in this area. We hunted a fiendish deer, which did nothing to sate my appetites, but did allow me to show my superior skill. The children had been tracking a dire boar, promising that someday, they would take it down. Again, it was hard not to scoff- I could have handled the boar without much effort, but had we attacked in a group, at least one of the children would have died. I was tempted to push the matter, but one of the children retained enough sense to know that death awaited them in the boar.
I explored deeper into the woods. I suspected that the twisted creatures were caused by magic leaking from the portal that the demons used to attack Barradin in the past. I didn't get to find the portal itself, instead I found a fiendish tyrannosaur. It was my turn to recognize a challenge beyond my strength. I withdrew and took the children with me. I returned to the temple to relate what I had learned.
The Battle
Fuelwen: I was correct, there was only one Cosby on the entire island- Theddy. Shortly after I returned to the temple, a battle began, as summoned demons and Theddy's minions attacked the town. A devil offered us aid, which I let Bo and Brilla negotiate. I know enough not to bargain with devils. Still, it was nearly trivial to subdue the fishermen and restore order to the town. But the delay allowed Theddy to hole up in his stronghold.
We attacked. It was guarded by Tooth Beasts and a Murder of Crows. The battle did not go well- a trap had been laid that caused fear in all who looked at it; my mettle broke and I ran.
