MoM Session 5

== Title ==
Night Cravings
== Recap ==
Alex, sitting at the bar of the Three Story Stay, is approached by a man in disarray. The man shows barely-closed wounds, tattered (once elegant) clothing, and deep bags under his eyes. He asks Alex if the mage can help with his nightmares. Alex suggests seeing a cleric, but the only priest in Yee (the closest town to where he was attacked) sent him here. Alex deduces from the poor man's descriptions of what happened that his family was attacked by a troll; everyone was slaughtered but him. After Ileao and Kevin arrive, Alex uses magic to try to dispel a curse on the man, who finally introduces himself as Caleb Fant. There's no indication of whether it worked or not. Ileao pesters him - and his eyes harden when he looks at em. Still, when he sees that they are DAEMON Hunters, he says that they can have the wealth his family had in their carriage when it was attacked, if they escort him safely to it so he can retrieve his connections to his late wife. The team huddles and, despite Ileao getting "bad vibes" from Caleb, decides to help him. 
They make their way down the Nottsic road, walking until close to dusk, where Caleb warns they should camp before reaching the dangerous swamp. Alex draws the door to his haven, but Ileao is upset eir opinion was overridden and teleports away to the Three Story Stay. Elfo, Mighty Mo, and the bartender all tell Ileao no, ey won't receive service for a number of reasons, including (but not limited to) threats of violence and the party's outstanding tab. Ey pay off the tab and are about to be kicked out by Mighty Mo, but ey magically Soothe Elfo, which convinces them to give em liquor. Ey get the hardest booze ey can afford and teleport back to the road, where ey start chugging. Inside the haven, during the night, Alex and Kevin wake up to the sounds of Caleb ravenously consuming all the food in the kitchen. Alex realizes that there's something very wrong with this man; not a curse, but some sort of slow transformation happening to him.
