Devil inside, devil inside. Every single one of them a devil inside...

After finishing up provisional runs to Sasserine and Monmurg, the party returns to Farshore. The previously feebleminded Jakara has arrived in Farshore with a letter from his master, Notlus Innersol. Vesserin (Farshore Chaplain), Lavinia, and the Olman liason to the chiefs of the seven villages, Miahuaxochitl, bid the party to help the Pelorian priest Noltus Innersol.

Noltus was reaching out to the Olman villages on the central plateau, hoping to turn their worship of Tonatiuh into worship of Pelor. He was also interested in the village of Mantru, which lies deep in the heart of the central plateau. It is also in this area where the vile skinwalkers are rumored to exist.

Vin immediately volunteers the party for the task of forming an expedition to the central plateau and seeking the Pelorian encampment to help Notlus Innersol. Rudolph jumps at the chance to return to the isle and search for the Dread Forge, and Daria strikes with a well placed poke to a half-sleeping Ortho.

The party journeys into the heart of the Isle of Dread and finds the causeway onto the central plateau. A roaming band of fell monkey demons attacks the party prior to ascending up to the causeway. The battle is quick, and the party is reminded of what wet monkey smells like.

Nesta finds a trail, and after a couple of hours, discoveres the crude huts of the Pelorian village. The village is mostly trogylodytes. Trog high priest of Pelor, Rissashtak, chieftan of the Pelorian camp greets the party and explains how Notlus has been missing for the past several days. There is great concern among the village about his well being. During the dinner conversation, a surprise visitor, Notlus Innersol. He looks surprised to see the party. The village greets the returning Notlus and his cohorts, the party is obiously suspicious of the returning group.

Before the moment passes, Noltus takes a cheap shot and lands a rounder on Vin's chin. The returning party begins to change shape. Horrible and demonic they assault the party. Even the dog morphs into a giant demonic beast. The battle opens with melee all around, Vin has a slight bout of paralysis. Daria and Rudy get scared and flee while one of the skin walkers begins to hurl spells at Ortho. As the party regroups the skin-walker mage hurls a couple of fireballs at the crowd. Slowly the battle breaks in favor of the adventurers.

Rudolpho makes a magnificant charge only to be paralyzed in his last step. He hears someone else yell, "Do I have to do everything around here." The skin walker mage disappears, but the party has won their victory.
