Leaving Ipswich with its sudden reversal of fortunes and a large amount of amazed gratitude, the Talons continued south to Midwich. The ankhegs were tracked down and slain as they rose to attack the group, and tracked the monster to its lair, fighting a pair of huge draconic behir, recovering not only trophies but four spherical rocks that were quickly identified as eggs. The Talons defeated the foul, life-draining mist that arose from a desecrated site, ridding the land of the reoccuring presence of a terrible atrocity. Angus has been on a few jobs with the crew, and they’ve learned to be careful only to bring him into jobs that require extreme violence.Ipswich, a modest-sized town, was plagued by three dangers: an unholy presence that emerged from a mass grave dating back to the early years of the Red Revolution, massive insectile creatures that burrowed below the fields and had the region’s farmers in a state of panic, and a monster that burned whole villages to ash.
