""Thank you for your kind offer, but I can't be the only pilgrim targeted this way. If you could please instead make sure the area around the church is safe, and that these men are brought to justice, then that will ensure the safety of not just me, but of everyone. I'll be keeping my eyes open in case they target me again, don't worry. If things get bad, I'll remember that this is a place of sanctuary, and come running."
My intent is to leave and be on my way. The only reason I came by was to warn them of the danger to their pilgrims. If I'm left unmolested, I'm going to spend a couple days plying my trade, and just helping people, and listening to their stories.

Spoiler: Nina (click to show/hide)

Name: Nina Morellis
Appearance: A young, red-haired woman, green eyes, somewhat unkempt. She's had Adam for as long as she could remember, and has a bit of a reputation as a harmless nut. The town guard are okay with Nina though, occasionally getting her help keeping a mage secured by having her drain their mana so they can't cast. Since they don't have a proper magehunter available, having a local civilian channeler they can bring in as needed is a big help. And Nina tries to be on her best behavior with them to keep their relations good. Nina herself works as a healer, living out in the poor part of town, and has an erratic schedule based on the needs of those who want her help. so she has a lot of free time, but also gets woken up in the middle of the night a lot. add in Adam's occasional antics and she doesn't get to have a stable sleep schedule.

Magic Path: Channeler, Invoker.

Materials: Sound
Mana: 5

Strength: D4
Speed: D6
Endurance: D10
Knowledge: D8
Will: D10
Senses: D6

Inventory: Backpack, padded cloak (D4 protection, Light armor), Lantern, doctor's bag, waterskin (air), hammer, 2 silver.

Inhabited by a spirit which takes the form of a floating disembodied limb that constantly melts and reforms into other body parts. She calls it "Adam."

Location: Phaganeda, a town on top of lake Limus
Cabal: None at this time.

Run up and try to grab the attention of the creature.
-If successful and it's coming for me, throw the net over/at it then focus on dodging.
-If not successful, run up to the creature and throw the net at it so that it ensnares the monster but not Ecalir.

The bartender looks mildly annoyed but he motions to one of the other patrons and the man walks over with slow, heavy steps. The two converse quietly for a moment before the bartender turns back to you.

"This man will take you where you need to go. He wants to know how much you'll pay."

Make a show of thinking for a bit.

"Three gold coins, if he'll put in a few hours of digging and take me back here."

Don't let them know Moghorn has more than eight gold, but go up a bit if he haggles. Might as well die happy. Toss one gold or however much will keep a bunch of alcoholic toughs busy onto the bar, looking extremely pleased.

"Rounds on me."

Then leave immediately. Don't give the guy any opportunities to backstab me for a bit, and ensure we walk roughly towards the pillars of lead. Once within body-dragging distance, try and hit him in the spine with a crossbow bolt from behind. If he tries something not accounted for in this post, then react to it next turn.

((PW confirmed in PM that we can hear what's happening so we can go and help.

Also, taking bets as to just how badly that net trick will fail. Will it entangle zomraptor with Ecalir? Will the monster gracefully leap over the net so it only binds Ecalir? Will it somehow bind the entire party together into a sausage of failure? Bet now! Win big!))

My bet? It just tangles up Behiar while missing everything else.

You thank them but refuse and leave. You spend two days plying your trade as a healer, fixing various minor injuries. The worst of them were sustained by a trader who appears to have been beaten quite badly. He is brought to you unconscious and left unceremoniously in your care. By which I mean they literally drag him into your room at the Inn and drop him on the floor.

The bartender looks mildly annoyed but he motions to one of the other patrons and the man walks over with slow, heavy steps. The two converse quietly for a moment before the bartender turns back to you.

The man doesn't haggle, he just nods.  You drop a gold on drinks and then head out with your...guide. You walk side by side for a good few miles until it starts getting dark. At twilight the man starts to slow, trying to maneuver in behind you gradually. You slow in turn and eventually you both end up standing a good 10 feet apart, side by side, in silence.

You struggle to escape the creature but it simply slams your shoulder back to the ground.

The beast brings its jaws down and snaps at your skull. You duck your shoulders and twist to the side, avoiding the attack by inches.

You run up within 15 or so feet of the creature and start making a lot of noise, yelling and waving your arms at the same time. The creature's head darts up and stone eyes focus on you. It goes still except for its head and eyes, slowly tracking your movements like a serpent. You whip out the net and hurl it at the creature in one motion.
[6v1] The net lands straight on top of it, instantly tangling around its jaws, forelimbs and the big claws on either foot. It tries to jump back, away from the net. It cuts the net badly with the attempt but it holds well enough to make the creature stumble and fall onto its side.

"Welp!"

Go hit that rock with a hammer as hard as possible.

The creature squirms and jerks and the blows glance off it with sprays of oddly colored sparks.

The fossil vampire tears at the net with its huge diamond hunting claws and manages to free its legs. It jitters back onto its feet, mouth and forelimbs still tangled and useless for the moment.
