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!"

Summary of Mid 2017
There was much delay in the running of the game. Many moons passed with little play happening. However, two sessions have been done by the end of Oct, 2017.
In the first, the barony of New Ascension was welcoming in new colonists at a fevered pace. The ruling council heard about Perfection of Yuilia members being ambushed. They sent the barony's special forces, the B Team, to deal with the trouble.
The B Team ran across a group of Yuilia worshipers being attacked by a group of orcs. They took on the orcs in an attempt to save the religious caravan. However, as they were decimating the orcs, a vampire and its spawn rose from the river and attacked!
The battle was harsh, but in the end B Team was successful. They even managed to kill the vampire before he could get away, totally killing a monster who was NOT going to be a recurring villain. No sir. No way. Completely unrelated that he taunted the party about continuing the 'game' later. Pure random chance.
The second session dealt with the first running of the barony. In it the A Team handled some cases of government management. All were successful.
After the barony work was done, B Team went south looking for information on wolf attacks. They first traveled around the lake and came into contact with the Swamp Witch, Old Belmere. Although grouchy, she directed the party out towards the east, where she said wolves more aggressive then normal dwelt.
The party wandered for a while, then were ambushed by a shapechanger (lycanthrope?) and a pack of wolves. The party was savaged, but mid manage to eventually emerge victorious. The wolves were slain, but the shapechanger fled. The party was set on tracking him down when the night ended...

- Katerina kept the multiple religions in good standing with each other by resolving an issue about who would consecrate the barony's first graveyard.
- Evangelene and Adella made the first steps towards a formal alliance with the Sootscale kobolds in the region.
- Craig and Elzney worked to deal with an issue between nobles and peasants about who had first claim to be the better land for housing.
