Quest Summary:
The party had gathered in the Arcadia inn. The people seemed in slightly lesser spirits, many staring into their glasses. Drink always helps with dark times. A mild rain softly pattered on the windows, and there was the sound of distant thunder. Everything was well until the party heard a sudden scream from the boarding above. Investigating, the party found a woman holding a wounded little girl, and a man decrying the godsm saying they had forsaken them. Cordy healed the girl, and the man explained to them, shakily, that he and his wife had been under duress for some time .
A few weeks ago they began finding their daughter with curious bites, and scratches when they were alerted by her crying at night. The girl of course could offer no explanation, for while she could make sound, she could not speak due to some incurable congenital ailment. This was not neccesarily unusual- self injury in those of ill or daft mind. They began to take turns watching over her all night -and they saw nothing. Nothing. But as soon as neither of them was looking, she would be hurt again in new places, or else old wounds reopened again. Then…one evening his wife was awake when she saw a cut spontaneously open. Not long after, both he and his wife began to notice other bizzare things, hearing…voices in the night. Faint mutterings of something that seemed come from everywhere and nowhere, as well as scratching and creaking sounds. They decided something was wrong with their house, and quit the place and came here. They went to see a cleric, but they could find no malady magical or otherwise in her. They could have tried staying in a church which might have offered them succor, but lately churches weren't safe at all.
As the party tried to imagine just what could be plaguing the couple Ginko heard a sound from the room, and not but shortly after they were all injured from spontaneously inflicted wounds and several members of the party heard a telepathic voice taunting them, telling of how it would savor their fear and that only a knife could free would free them from the tortures of their fleshy prisons The pary initially suspected a spectre, but when Cordy tried to detect an evil prescence she could see it was not in the room but somewhere above. Acting on his suspicsions, Ginko was the first out the window, throwing up a grappling hook rather than trying to climb a slick drainpipe. Augmenting himself and Cordy with magic, Darrion was next, and the others followed after. On the rooftop the party spotted a small pool of something thick, oily, and black thinned and running down the shingles in the rain. Darrion's eagle however spotted someone who'd gone unseen to the others.
Hunkered down in a crouch, perhaps ready to spring was…something like a little old man. A hairless halfling or a gnome perhaps, but with spotty skin a pale virulent green. It was nude save for a wet piece of leather or something wrapped around its waist, and looked emaciated and starved, with eyes set deep in his sockets, large eyes with narrow pupils darting back and forth. As Darrion called out and drew the party's attention to the thing, it shuddered with antcipation. Ginko asked the thing to make it easy on them, to which it only replied "…eaasy? Thisss wont be eaaaasy on either of ussss-Life isss hard and PAIN should be shaaaared." Shiari remarked that inflicting pain on others was a sign one was fleeing from their own demons-not knowing the irony in that statement.
Bored with talk already, Ginko readied himself and the party went into action. As soon as they landed their first blow, the party was simultaneously wounded, and every wound they dealt to the creature was intantaneously reciprocated as if they had been on the recieving end of their weapons. Riding the surge of pain, the creature moaned with pleasure, demonstrating an unexpected combat prowess. Becomming worn down from their own assaulting, the party tried grappling and nonlethal damage, the latter of which didnt seem to trigger its supernatural power. In counter to this the creature resorted to some…interesting methods of self injury that demonstrated its depravity (see Quotes).
Inevitably however, the party was able to render the fiend unconscious long enough to tie it up before its accelerated healing could allow it to recover. Rather than slay it, they handed it over to the city guard who decided it ought to be in the hands of sages who might learn more of the origin of the city's recent troubles from it study its supernatural powers. Rare was it to have a living fiend, and so was the party rewarded genrously.
Quotes
WHAT Kind of Screams?
<+GaMasTam> Everything is alright and the ale is flowing…when theres a shout and a scream! From one of the rooms above, by the sounds of it a woman.
+Ginko ponders whether this is a scream of pleasure, pain, or both… and while he ponders he finishes his ale quickly just incase he needs to do something more than lend an ear to the developing 'situation'
<+Ginko> pleasure or pain tammuz?di
<+GaMasTam> shock, and apall

You Know You Want To Do It…
+Ginko hauls himself up onto the roof and hunches down low to the tiles, trying to keep his balance while whoever else decided to follow gets there behind him. He'll hold his sword in the direction of the -evil- and stare at the darkness
(Dont just stare at it…show it what for.)
The Incredible Ginko..
+Ginko moves about ten feet closer as he bulks up 'Brown Hulk' style and gets ready to take a swing at whatever it was, "I guess we'll see," he growls, and speach parts way for sounds of building animosity.
…Pain.
<DialUpTam> The creature grins wickedly shoving a clawed hand under its tattered loin cloth, clawing
furiously. It salivates, and you [just the guys ] feel a sharp pain in your nether regions as black and white
drip from its loins, blending in a nauseating gray.
<DialUpTam> "SCRAAAAAAA-Oh-Ooooh YES!"
