Crimson Moon Report #74 - February 8, 2012
Summary: Amid heavy rains that appeared like blood, the Luukosian champion attacks all major cities with undead, horrors and shadow-encased beings.

A nasty storm started everywhere, which may or may not be connected to the storm problem we had in RR the other night. The light of the crimson moon made the rain resemble blood and undead could be heard wailing as well as the Luukosian champion laughing and taunting us. The ground shook as things dug out of it and this was felt in every major town.
Eventually every town came under attack by relatively weak crimon-eyed corpses of various professions (we'll call these the Beloved ;) ) as well as a few crimson worms. Our forces quickly seperated to defend each town individually from these minor assaults. Several small waves were dealt with in almost every town while the Luukosian taunted us.
After approximately an hour of this the rain seemed to let up a bit and the moaning of undead on the wind lessened. At which point dark clouds with darker shapes moving through them rolled in. The sound of leathery wings could be heard and the scream of victims as they were plucked up and taken away, similar to what we saw in Icemule. Our forces gathered mostly back together in the park, decided if these demons were to come down we needed to concentrate on protecting one town.
The Landing defenders, as well as the defenders who chose to keep to Illistim, were simultaneously attacked by ebon horrors and shadowy beings, mixed with a few sheruvian mindflayers and punishers. A small strike force managed to take down the first couple of these creatures in the Landing and, believing the area clear for the time being, proceeded to assist in Illistim. Illistim was harder hit with multiple horrors and beings and it took the better part of an hour to quiet things down. Only the timely arrival of reinforcements kept the second wave of horrors and beings in the Landing from getting out of hand.
All told roughly a dozen combined shadowy beings and ebon horrors were dispatched last evening but from what we saw in the sky it barely scratched the surface. The time it took our small strike force to dispatch any one of these creatures was alarming, even with solid tactics. Should we be attacked by them in force and without aid we will not be able to stand.
