[Part of the Party Time journal]
The party continues North and after a brief stop at the "ex"-werewolf village of Wolf's Ear, which humorously still uses lycan related naming for their townsfolk and businesses, they go through a swampy marsh, slaying half a dozen gross giant ticks and capturing a tamed stirge whom they return to its owner, a child from Ravenmoor.
A lady clerk of Magnimar they ran into at Galduria had previously asked them to look into a missing red-bearded tax collector whose last known stop was Ravenmoor so they let the kid lead them to the Ferry and into the squalid village filled with shifty villagers who don't like giving straight answers and effigies to an unknown deity which everyone assumes is Desna (fairy like patron of travelers).
As there is a monthly celebratory feast taking place that very day, the party takes the opportunity to skip it and snoop around while everyone else is busy - locating a rundown shack guarded by an angry scarecrow, which is destroyed by Valeros and Merisiel before it can do anything, and an easy slimemold that Valeros accidentally wakes within.
Among the corpses buried in the basement is the tax collector and just as they are about to leave a great number of mosquito mask wearing cultists with rusty sickles arrive but they have no chance with all the archery and AoE spells (plus Kyra's celestial elephant) that obliterate them and a handful of mongrel men in their number. Ezren even disintegrated one mook just for fun while Daygrace and the Joe-gang also slay a spider lady "tertiary" boss.
The hasted elephant stamps out a path through to the center of the nearby rotting corn field where a few more cultists are making a sacrifice so Kyra casts a holy smite to "let Sarenrae sort them out" which will only harm non-good entities. Thus there are no bad feelings when the sacrifice is killed by the spell and Valeros comes in to one hit slay the cult leading mayor, only for a giant mosquito to pop out of his gut (because they worshiped Ghlaunder the gross instead) and launches a malaria carrying mozzie swarm around which only manages to affect the elephant!
The big bug doesn't manage to land its hit and is then promptly slammed and gored by the elephant, shot by a lot of arrows and hacked to pieces by Valeros and the faceless that ambushed Ezren in the corn soon regrets that after eating a fatal lightning bolt to the face. Having killed a third of the town the team then destroy all of the evil god's effigies, loot the mayor's house and tell the remaining villagers who are not cultists or are scared cultists to change their ways. Or else!
