[snip Wendigo song :) and story]
Yeah, mix one wendigo, a "tribe" of Dour (little halfling sized, awakened
primates - borderline sentient, see PAoNA) and the sewers... Oh, and
don't forget the Cthulhu-inspired totem that the Wendigo followed. The
result is the run-in that my group had with a wendigo.
What started out as a simple meet with a contact, turned into something
QUITE different.
They were supposed to meet this guy at bar in the barrens (original
huh?), and after about two hours of waiting they started getting a bit
suspicious... after asking around they found some degenerate squatter who
knew something (of course given his stuttering, and attention problem it
took them a while to get it out of him) and led them to the guy's car
where he saw "a bunch of lil' fragger's jump 'im.." Using detection
spells and stuff the search headed into the sewers and into the dour's
territory (and the traps that come with it... one PC nearly drowned when
he got his leg caught in a spiked hole.). Eventually they came to the
center... still not seeing anything other than motions in the shadows,
just out of sight. And after getting a look at this very bizarre
statue... things started coming out of the wood-work, literally. The
wendigo controlled tribe of dour came out of every knook and cranny from
all sides... along with some protean-like spirits. They barely made it
out alive. I don't think one PC will ever go near a hairy ork ever
again, after he fatally (or so he thought - ain't regen cool) impaled it
with a Halberd (don't ask why he had it... I don't remember) and it
pulled the halberd out and flung him (still holding on to the other end)
across the cavern. After which, only the heavy application of flamebombs
enabled them to escape. They have know idea if the cult is still alive
or not, and are a bit more cautious when it comes to the barrens... and
down one contact.
