>A demon that won't take critical hit damage?
...I think my weapon didn't do much because it wasn't silver. I know Maggie didn't ask for my coins 'cause she forgot her ammo or something; she's better at this than I am.
So... are there any more of them?
"No, he came alone."
I take out my spyglass and look at the dunes, do I see any?
"You have a spyglass?"
Yeah, I wrote it down on my character sheet. Wasn't it in the equipment list or something?
"Where, pray tell, did you get the thousand gold to buy it?" What... the fuck.
Err, my bad, I... thought it said copper pieces. I'll just erase it.
"In any case, you have a clear view of the surrounding dunes and do not see any more adversaries or, in fact, any notable features."
Is Kevin's character still alive or did he die?
"K- Fulminus Pious is obviously dead. He got impaled by his own sword, remember?" No, numbnuts, that's why I asked if he died.
"...did the demon leave any tracks on his way here that we can follow?"
"It's a Daemon, and yes, it did. The tracks lead off, under the sign of the Blue Star. A most ominous portent." He's got that look in his eyes, oh boy...
"As you picked up in the tavern before you got hired for this expedition, the Blue Star hasn't illuminated the sky more than a few tendays. Now, after a face to face encounter with a fiend in human form, you backtrack along his footsteps, perhaps about to follow him... to the hells he surely returned to."
We didn't say we were going to follow the tracks yet.
"Oh, erm- okay?"
"I'll take the bedrolls, the packs, the crossbows, the rations and waterskins, any treasure the demon had, and I'll strip search Fulmin's corpse for equipment. The sword stuck in his corpse, too."
I'll get my spear back. And the five silver pieces she hit the zombie with.
"Now, we'll follow those tracks."
"...Ok, you take the daemon's scimitar and your five coins. You also find a pendant with a bloodstone cameo of a dragon's head embedded in it. At the end of the trail, a short hike away, you come to the summit of a dune. Whatshisname, your perception is high enough to notice the smell of ozone in the air, and upon further inspection, there seems to be a square or perhaps cube of air where the sky beyond it looks lighter in color by a tint."
