Corn Fever

August 15th 106PA

Characters find themselves in a long row of Corn.

Immediately Kash and Sparticus come down with the CORN FEVER. They turn yellowish and Kash passes out.

it seems something inte corn dust causes corn fever… Drago also catches a less strong version of Corn Fever. Caldor is unaffected.

Drago senses a telepathic probe.. something called Zee says it needs another host. Zee a strange tentacled dbee emerges from a dead have eaten human Drago finds nearby in the corn. It telepaticaly says that Kash will die if they dont meld due to the Corn Fever. Drago allows Zee to meld with Kash and they both passout while melding for awhile. Sparticus watches over Kash but he is near passing out with the corn fever s well.

Above the corn stalks a weird demonic bird, it swoops down and eats some weird rat monster.

Drago digs down and finds that they are over a Dragonwright seal. Drago thinks the seal transported them from Celestia.

While digging, Caldor goes and scouts.

Caldor sees a Terrier dogpack hunting the weird birds, and managed to surprise and disarm him of his hunting rifle.

Taking Jack back to Drago, all three look over the half eaten human and tentacled dbee who is in the proces of merging with Kash.

Jack says the human is Jeb his old master, and now he doesnt know what to do. The humans of Corn row to the west wont hire dbees he says, Jeb was his only ticket to a new life after running away.

Jack leads Caldor, Drago, barely concious Sparticus and Unconcious Kash back to Corn Row.

Corn Row is a small corn farming community. All the farmers come out to stare at the outsiders.

Lucy introducers herself as the mayor of Corn Row. A youngish attractive corn yellow blond, she says that they make corn for the buyers. The buyers have all the corn put in sillows at each small comunity like theirs, and then the sillows are shipped into Corn Heights for the buyers to pick up. Once weighed all the farmers are payed in North American black market credits.

Lucy says everyone wants to know who the buyers are but noone can figure it out.


Lucy (thanks to Team Fortress 2 for this image and KNKL sorry I dont know your real name)

Drago creates water and stones part of the corn barricades of Corn Row to reinforce them. In return Lucy gives them healing. Bribing a local comes next, for 10gp they learn location of Bo, a driver who has trade goods and go back and forth between Corn Row and Corn Heights. She also refers them to Edna, the nurse who stablizes the corn fever. Note that everyone but Caldor has a yellowish tint, all the people in the town do as well as the 3 other pcs.
