We really didn’t play much this time. Instead we spent the entire session eating our Chinese food and B.S.’ing about upcoming video games, the future of D&D, and how to handle people dropping in and out over the summer. Still, it’s fun to get together with friends, even if all you do is shoot the breeze.

After killing the hideous mutants, Angran was very curious about their mutations. He began chopping bits and pieces off of the mutants in order to keep for further study. Corvin was horrified by this, and spent the whole time praying to Sigmar to protect him from the horrors of Chaos.

At this point, it was getting dark. We had not yet found the leader, but there was no point in going further. So, we bedded down and decided to search more the next day.

However, in the middle of the night, we heard a crashing and moaning in the woods around us, so we got up and prepared ourselves.

Crashing in the clearing came three disgusting mutants, one much larger than the others and obviously the leader we were looking for. Without hesitation we charged in and attacked.

As usual, Hennessey was able to immobilize one of the mutants, and Angran and Tardach peppered him full of arrows while he tried to disentangle himself from the bola. Meanwhile, Corvin busied himself pounding on the leader with his mace.

When face to hideous face with the mutant leader, Corvin stumbles and the massive brute attempts to wrap him up in his tentacles. As the Chaos warped limbs touch Corvin, he feels bile rising in his throat when he thinks about the chaos and evil surrounding him (see quote below).

Finally, after trading blows for a while, Corvin manages to smash his mace through the beasts chest, shattering his ribcage. Blood and guts flies in Corvin’s face and he screams in terror as he frantically tries to scrape off the chaos infested gore. Making a sign against evil, he manages to regain his composure.

Standing among the downed mutants, we decide it’s time to go back and get our reward from Brother Charles.
