The Martyrdom of Kulak

The group reached the city of Sgein and were halted by guards, who were told they had an invitation from Hugan auldsprig. Hugan arrived after some time and welcomed them, inviting them to explore the festival before disappearing. The group wandered around the festival, taking in the sights and sounds.

Poison was approached in a clothing store where she was attempting to look not so obviously edgy, by a man named Haroe who introduced himself as the local baron. He bought her a better cloak and left.

The group joined in a bunch of contests, including a performance contest run by a kid who had a passion for swords. Kulak impressed with some aerial acrobatics and magic, Poison straight up ate a sword, and Soft Eddie showed up, singing a song so soulful and heart wrenching about how he misses his wife that everyone in the neighborhood stopped what they were doing to listen and cry. I think someone else did something but I can't remember.

They joined an eating contest which Poisonblade inexplicably won, an archery contest, a beauty contest which Bumpy Pete actually showed up to and got third based on his fierce attitude alone. Finally they went to a wrestling tournament which Daisy won, even narrowly beating an owlbear.

That evening they went to a polymorph party

Hugan was a hag, wanted to be a werewolf like the badass looking werewolves at the party

He tried to get the part to ask the wizard to turn him into a werewolf, but the wizard insisted he didn't know how to polymorph into werewolves. The party, interested, decided to approach the werewolves who tried to pretend they were people in costume. The group followed at a distance as they circled Lord Yvor and shrunk him using scrolls, putting him in a jar to take with them. They were stopped by the group. Things devolved into fighting where Kulak dove into the mouth of a werewolf to un-polymorph himself, getting crushed in the werewolf's stomach and dying completely.

The grisly scene caused the fighting parties to stop, giving poison a chance to resolve the thing by diplomacy, reaming out Lord Yvor before reaching a solution that would see the feral werewolves stopped with the civilized werewolves taking Hugan as a hostage to ensure good faith. Hugan promised to reward the group for their actions and left through the Portal. A thoroughly embarrassed Yvor put them up for the night in the house Tavern, after they "buried" Kulak skybarrow style with magical help. They all got drunk in the tavern, with Yvor stopping by and wishing he could get drunk there also.
