Insignificant Mortals

The group is in a strange place they come to find. Time is still not the present it is 2 years after they wandered from the camp.  Delvin decides to use his ring to go back in time to warn the group not to open the genie scroll. They take his warning and fill in the holes. Jin draws the symbol of Koanatee on the burial site and asks Koanatee to protect the area. As the group continued to travel south Jin becomes sicker and sicker the closer he gets to the destination.  He figures out that its the box that is making him feel this way and passes it off to Clyde who then starts to shimmer like a demon.  Jin gets the box back, Clyde stops shimmering and now Elga starts to shimmer. The demon is body hopping. But as bad luck seems to persist lately, this was the trapped demons plan all along and escapes the box. Elga tells Jin that the demon switched out the boxes when he escaped and the broken box he has is a fake. 

The group finds an army of 500 demons eating babies in the forest. They await Delvins return. A decision needs to be made... either continue south to the destination and possibly be annihilated or return to the town and report back to the high cleric of Koanattee?   

Where is my Mommy & Daddy?

The group sets up camp in the forest. Later in the day a scream for help is heard in the distance. Jin, Thunk, Clyde, & Delvin leave the camp to go investigate. They come to an excavation site with two large holes. As they are investigating they can tell that the screams came from some humans which are all dead at the bottom of the hole. Then, a skeletal hand reaches up from the dirt and grabs at the their feet. Before long a skeleton covered in a strange green ooze emerges. As they fight this thing, the ooze splashes off and onto them with each hit. They eventually kill the the ooze. They realize that the skeleton was not undead after all and somehow animated by the ooze itself. 

They investigate the holes. The one hole has a coffin in it that has been pried open and remnants of the ooze can be seen all around. Jin finds a secret compartment in the sidewall of the coffin. It contains a scroll case. Clyde deciphers the script and it reads "do not open, Genie inside"

Jin convinces Clyde that he has to open the case "we may get wishes" He can't resist... He opens and reads the scroll. The Genie within takes over Clyde and offers the group a way to save their friend Clyde or lose him forever as he would be possessed by the genie demon. They must find another host. 

The group finds a farm not too far off. They use the farmer (dad) to get the Genie out of Clyde. The "Genie" show their true form and Jin attempts to capture him in the box the witch gave him but he takes off into the sky knocking the box out of Jin's hand (used to take demon's souls). The box looks broken. The "Genie" escapes.

 Jin heads back and finds another Genie scroll at the dig site.  The second genie needs a host as well. The farmers wife of course...The daughter comes running after the transformation and runs into Jin's arms and says " Where is my Mommy & Daddy?"

The good genie demon brings the group back in time a year to the exact moment they left.  After yelling at Jin about releasing her husband the bad demon she takes off after him.

Jin speaks with the witch Elga. She tells Jin that he was been given the "bait and switch". The broken box he has indeed a fake. The Genie stole his box of demon soul collecting.
