To the middle of 2018

Two sessions to cover:

In the first the group managed to get most of the Rational Savinite to mass produce the chemicals.

Also, they managed to get their young barony's army up and running. A mix of calvary, infantry, and elite infantry was assembled and trained in using the deadly chemical mix.

However, attempts to calm the populace regarding the incoming swarm had negative effects. A number of settlers from outlying farms panicked and ran into the swarm in an attempt to get away. This bolstered the numbers of the flying blood-drainers.

An assault task force made up mostly of B Team (with Katrina as clerical back up), went with platoons of the military: the Rocs, the Behemoths, the Pale Giants, the Golems, and the T-Rexes (based on the models used for the platoons).

Using the military units, the B Team was able to drive into the heart of the swarm, where they needed to deploy the chemicals to defeat the menace.

2nd Session (July 2018)


At a river ford, the New Ascension Task Force met and did battle with the main stirge force. It was a long, brutal fight, but despite the DM's best efforts no serious losses were suffered by the Task Force.

As the stirge cloud was being beaten back, it uncovered the fact that at the center of the cloud was a Vrock demon. The foul creature was emaciated from being fed on by near infinite stirges: those that drank its blood sometimes exploded into two or more stirges.

The unclean demon from horrific realms unknown fought the party, but despite unleashing walls of stinging insects it was unable to fell any member of the Task Force either. (The DM wept tears for the lost opportunity for story elements arising from military losses.)

Nevertheless, the party was eventually able to strike down the Vrock. Upon its death the unnatural cloud of stirges broke apart and a unified cloud of death became a plethora of smaller swarms, something that could be dealt with by smaller military units.

But as it died, the Vrock implored its many swarming insects to, "Defile! Defile! Leave nothing for her!"
