Of course, we didn't have time for all of this introspection in the moment. The barn contained more unspeakable horrors, and Haneet soon found the source in the farmhouse. A ghast and several ghouls had taken up residence. While dealing with them, we were further surrounded by more of the vile undead who did, indeed, look like scarecrows.

I do not know when I will be able to write you again, dear brother, as during our struggle, I was bitten by one of the ghouls and I fear I have contracted ghoul fever. I am confident that, with Torag's strength, I will overcome this sickness, but I am not sure how long my recovery will take.

After reviving Haneet, we got word that farmers outside of Sandpoint were being attacked and slaughtered. We went out to investigate. It seemed that the scarecrows were coming to life and attacking, like in that old Varisian nursery rhyme. As we approached, it appeared that some scarecrows were no longer on their perches. I suppose Tokki thought he was being proactive and testing the waters when he fired an arrow at one of the scarecrows still on its perch, but as the arrow struck its mark, we heard a ghastly scream. It turns out it was one of the farmers strung up there. I was truly disturbed by this gnome's lack of remorse at this terrible accident, but he has since explained that part of his condition is a lack of emotion and has since explained that he was affected by the death and does plan to make amends.
Of course, we didn't have time for all of this introspection in the moment. The barn contained more unspeakable horrors, and Haneet soon found the source in the farmhouse. A ghast and several ghouls had taken up residence. While dealing with them, we were further surrounded by more of the vile undead who did, indeed, look like scarecrows.
I do not know when I will be able to write you again, dear brother, as during our struggle, I was bitten by one of the ghouls and I fear I have contracted ghoul fever. I am confident that, with Torag's strength, I will overcome this sickness, but I am not sure how long my recovery will take.

Recap Reward

Before next session's day
The sudden death of Haneet to Caizarlu's phantasmal killer lingers on your mind. Next time you would die, you are instead at -(CON/2), and stable. If the cause of death is something else (e.g., constitution damage), you remain at the minimum not to die by that effect.
