Session 2

The Gang meets a Night Hag
The party eventually kills the giant spider. And before leaving the cavern decide to search the cavern. Barthus and Skarūl collect webs, weapons, and minor healing potions from the dead adventurers in the cave. Merrick look into the water and spots a small chest at the bottom of the pool of water. Falgas swims to the bottom and brings the chest to the surface. No one recognizes the medallion in the chest, so Falgas takes it out of the box and falls unconscious. The party jumps to Falgas' aid and feed him a healing potion. And Barthus gently puts the medallion back in the box without touching it.

Merrick lets the group know that he hears chittering noises approaching. So the group leaves the cavern and look for another way out. They find a ladder that leads up to a room with no door. Barthus discovers that the painting of the Lord and Lady of Craith that's hanging on the wall is actually a door. So he opens it up and peers through two eyeholes in the painting on the other side. He creeps out two guards who were whispering about how they're worried about the Lady of Craith ever since she met this "old friend" of her husband's.

The group takes a short rest in the room and then sneak out to look for an escape. They hear a whispering lullaby in the Lady's chambers, and then leave to search other rooms further down the hall. Falgas unlocks a secret drawer in the desk which reveals the journal of the Lady of Craith. The journal mentions the sudden death of her husband, the arrival of an "old friend," and the sudden onset of nightmares and exhaustion shortly after. While they're searching the office, they hear someone leave and enter a room.

They carefully leave the office, but as they continue down the hall. They hear a door squeak behind them. Barthus goes to the door and sees a servant girl with mousy brown hair and an apron dress. The group interrogates her, and she tells them that she's an old childhood friend of Lord Kraegall Hadur. The party immediately suspect that she's lying--and attack.

After the first attack, the Sally's form changes shape to reveal a disgusting Night Hag. The group corners her in the bedroom and starts stabbing and bludgeoning her to death--with each blow doing less damage than they'd expect. Merrick struggles to land a blow, but manages to club her a couple times with his magical Shillelagh. She screams in pain. And Skarūl follows up by shooting the hag with his crossbow and insulting her before he decides to join the rest of the group and unleash his hellish rebuke. She claws at them, missing many of her attacks due to the ghostly distractions set on by Barthus. And finally, Falgas runs in and parkours off of his taller party members to slice the hag in two.
