Log
After several skirmishes with the Father and several of his generals, we moved to put an end to the were-creature threat. A group of other associates arrived ahead of us to clear a path. Following their trail, we reached the camp fresh and primed for battle. The Father was in the middle of being confronted by Maera, her knights holding the perimeter as she had promised. We quickly moved past the frenzied were-creatures before they realized we were present and struck, well prepared to counter the Father's abilities thanks to Maera's prior cooperation.
The Father's were-creature followers were frenzied, several breaking through and joining in on our fight. We had nearly taken him down when he revealed a spell that Maera did not seem to know to warn us of- a spell that allowed him to siphon vitality from his followers into himself. Reinvigorated, the fight began again. Eventually, I was able to pin the Father to the ground with one of my arrows and Miles was able to finish him off before he could reveal any other magical abilities. Only one of the frenzied followers was killed during the fight, an unfortunate accident when the crowd of frenzied creatures pushed a defending knight into him and knocked him onto spikes of his own creation.
It took Maera a few moments to overcome the Father's final commands to his frenzied followers, but she was eventually able to assert control over the were-creatures in the camp and return them to their senses. Our task done, we took the night to rest before returning home. Our interactions with the were-creatures turned by the Father have made for a rather interesting saga. We are now left with new allies who will hopefully be a boon to the city and our surrounding settlements. I've already begin forging a trade agreement for the Grove.
