Expedition 3

Guard Report
An Expedition scouted out the southern guard tower and discovered a psionic entity with a fiery halo in the basement of said tower. Two expedition members, Twik and Nugs, were reported dead and missing respectively.

Andarta's Report
Myself and a few others decided to go on a mission to investigate the south tower. On our way to the south tower we had a few encounters with the local wildlife. The only thing of note is that we were attacked by people wearing the tower emblem (from the east tower), in the middle of the night, Chev figured out that their motive for attacking us is to steal our stuff and bring it back to the east tower. We killed all but 1 who ran like a coward.

We eventually reached the tower but decided to wait till nightfall to approach. We decided to approach from behind the tower and we stumbled upon more wildlife. We managed to climb on top of the raised platform around the tower. Chev and Aisha-3 decided to head back to town and abandon our mission. Agi decided to make his very loud entrance toward the tower, which distracted the guards on the platform and gave us the opportunity to take them out.

Upon entering the tower we saw an elevator, an empty elevator shaft, and a door. We eventually managed to open the door, which led into the basement. In the basement there was a pile of rotting corpses, a few of the soldiers with the fiery halo emblem, a guy with an actual fiery halo (he appeared to be the leader and the patches made in his image), and a person holding a fiery sword. The fiery halo guy tells us it's time to "Join our family". He appears to be able to mind control people because he turned Gnugz against us. Unfortunately Agi dies in combat, but he went out in a blaze of glory. Ghost flees like a coward, despite how close we were to taking out the fiery halo guy. With Agi dead and Gnugz being controlled I couldn't attempt to take him on my own, so I too fled back to town with Ghost. Gnugz is still missing to my knowledge.
