Editing Murk (section)

=='''Assault of Mar'lock'''==

[[Agreh]] spent years of prayer before she learned enough to carve in wood a thread of [[Krull]]'s essence. A few more years of carving and prayer took their toll from [[Agreh]], a chunk of power and youth, but now she has enough sticks to make her sisters a serious threat in [[Shaema]]. 


[[Mal'rock]] is their test, and Market day will ensure a large enough sacrifice to [[Krull]].


===Day 1===

'''Midday'''

''From the trees you hear Straža calling to attention. After the initial commotion has passed you find out that a humanoid body is floating close to the island, slowed by the water lilies.'' This is not that strange but it can attract unwanted attention. Especially when everyone hopes for a smooth and fun market day.  ''A crocodile has already appeared,'' probably following the body from farther in.

It turns out that the body belonged to a halfling, tribe unknown. It seems fresh but is missing some parts: an eye, an ear, an arm, and every one of its' teeth. His neck is also bruised.

===Day 2===

'''Sunset'''

''A panicked scream is heard up from the branches, then a splash. A mousling guard stationed on an outer branch. After a time two crocodiles appear and try to catch the panicked mousling.'' 

If he survives he tells a tale of ''a burning face in the water. It stared at him and wouldn't leave his sight. He couldn't not see it, even when he turned his head. Then he felt it entering his mind, capturing it... he panicked and fell in the water.''

That was [[Agreh]] casting a spell of fear at the mousling. Her goal is to scare [[Mal'rock]] into a panic (fear makes the blood taste so sweet), and to draw more crocodiles around the island, isolating it.

===Day 3===


'''Morning'''

[[The Lemini trio]].


'''Sunset'''

''As the sun sets terrible noises start coming from all around [[Mal'rock]]. [http://www.soundboard.com/sb/Laughing_Hyenas_audio Crying hyena > Feast of Hyena] 

''Mouslings are on the edge, fists clenched around javelins. The young halflings scatter underground, while the old run around, grabbing for weapons. Goats start screaming and running around the island. Black foxes are unheard and unseen.

''The screams continue throughout the night. The whole island radiates fear. One of the goats-gone-wild jumps or falls into the water and familiar noises of crocodiles killing and feasting spice up the permanent howls.''

At the end of the night, each player makes a Wisdom saving throw (DC 15) or gains one level of [http://imgur.com/a/LehjQ exhaustion].

The Murk know of the Mal'rock trade festival. They ambush travelers (Dwarves, their goats, their bargeman, a Goola family (Batbayars mothers' sister) two swamp apes*, some more halflings), feast on them, pile the remains on a barge and let it float to Mal'rock. First, they send a body as a message. A night of screaming, then next evening a barge of remains. Grisly scenes. Crocodiles are attracted and surround mal'rock. Gnolls somehow launch pieces of meat at the island from all sides, attracting the crocodiles in. They climb the barge and pass inland through the docks.
