The Plantation
Much of shars people are best described as reasonable, however there are those broken by beast or humanoid who now feel cause to break others
There are rumours people have started going missing near Davo's forest as such its my job as a guard to investigate
I had enquired with innkeepers, homeless, legerman, basically anyone who'd have information, until i came across a distraught man grieving at one of the inns begging adventurers for help, he said his child was missing, recalling how days prior his child was hanging around a friendly woman, and how his child would talk about the adventures him and her had in the forest, he reasoned it was good to see him socialising with someone, finding it sad there were no one else in town to play with him, but his childs prolonged disappearance makes him fear for the worst.
the mans eyes seemed red as if he'd been itching in panic
After hearing him out, i accepted his request, but feeling it best to bring the man with me, the sky seemed dark too cloudy for stars to be seen after not long we make it outside of town, the pathing rough and uneven, after some hours of walking a trail of blood could be seen beneath lamp post, multiple blood streaks lead off the path into the forest, the man seemed to know a minor arcane to light the area, making it easier to follow the blood, the forests smelling of moist dirt, after not long we were met with a building, seemingly rotted, paired with a deafening silence, despite our distance to it we could smell a unwavering aroma of filth, even Davo's gutters and shanty towns smelled more pleasant than this, having no choice we followed the bloody path in, the sounds of splashing and screeching began as if hearing the door opening, the sounds seemed to come from a array of metal cages lined with planks, looking into one of the cages with screeching we were met with the sight of severed children heads eating a corpse, the man who i brang began screaming as he recognised the corpse being eaten as his child, his screams alerting the heads to start rabidly trying to leave the cage, only blocked by two planks nailed onto the cage as a door, as i looked around more it became clear each of the cages contained living child limbs, the sight entranced me, before being broken by the heads managing to break open the planks, i tried to yell at the man to escape, only for him to run into the cage to grieve his son, the moment he touched his sons corpse it seemed to wake up and starting biting the man, as the heads began biting him aswell.
it seemed like a good chance to prevent these things from escaping, so upon sighting a bag of flour, i chucked it in the air before closing the door, and using a minor arcane to create fire in the hopes of causing a explosion, thank the divi's as it worked
As soon as i saw it burst i swear i ran the fastest i ever had in my life
Suspect remains at large, end of report
