(Week 2) Return to Gnarles Barkley

As I led my companions toward Ardanyan, we encountered a charming waif and her brother.  They said that they were fleeing from the very village that we had just left!  A horror had destroyed their parents and attacks an orphanage.  I entertained the children as we headed back to face the monster. 

The horror had taken the shape of a field of strange foreign corn, not the ordinary wheat of Barsaive and turned the bodies of the village's orphans to its own use.  Fire seemed like the best option, so I sent Homy, the red haired dwarf, to fetch some jars of oil while moving to a better location to cast the fire away from the house.  As we passed the field we were attacked by the Horror tainted orphans.  I was able to dispatch them with my swordswomanship but Dob fell and we withdrew. 

When Homy returned she cast several jars at the field before managing to hit it.  It reared up breaking itself free of the earth when it caught fire.  I moved in though the flames were piercing hot.  After a moment the conflagration expanded and the world disappeared in flame.
