Hexcrawl 24 - Ankhegs and Kegs, Bulletes and Brewmonks

Under Wellby's Command, Jorgrim and Eaglebane depart the farmstead with a troop of laborers and skirmishers to discover the mystery of an abandoned village. They are attacked by a fierce ankheg, which burrows up in the night to attack their camp.  Once the village is cleared, they are again attacked, this time by an even more terrifying burrower, a bulette! Now the abandoned village is even more ruined, but the three companions journey north and discover the tree village of the Bignose goblin tribe, where they ask for help attacking the Black Dog Brewery. After a visit to the nearby stone face for oracular advice, the goblins agree and a haphazard plan is hatched.  During the combat at the brewery, Wellby breathes his last as the necromancer and wig afficionado Losser Mirklav drains the life from him, but Losser and his shadow mastiff are at last defeated and the brewery restored to the proper worship of Urogalan.
