Julano
The adventurers had left, and he doubted they would ever return again. For days he had raged, running through the forest throwing his spells at every tree in his path. When his minions came to speak to him he had ignored them, or blasted them too. The power they held would have been such an asset to him, but they had been too careful. He had failed to find an opening. It tore at him for weeks.
Eventually, finally, he moved on to other things. He had picked up his old life again. The passing of the adventurers had left the Witchy Wood with a relatively high number of deaths and disappearances. People wanted to know how and why. Naturally Julano didn't want to tell everyone their skins were hanging in his closet, so he lied. They believed him, he was the mayor's son. And a convincing actor too, or so he thought.
Aside from taking up his life in the village, he also rebuilt his legion of vampires. After the death of his 'ally' more beings had found their way to him. He put them to good use as he had his own lair made on the ground he himself had raized in his anger.
Julano had had just about enough of adventurers, and although he was not yet ready to go out into the world at the head of his army and slay every 'hero' in person, he was amassing his forces and already striking out at travellers entering too far into his forest. Noone in the village suspected a thing, yet, but suspicion grew in the settlements surrounding the woods.
OOC: Julano is quite the distance away from the other characters, so I doubt they'll hear of the monster-infected woods anytime soon. Just setting the scene back there for some unfinished buisness from the original HT thread
Tomorrow I'll be leaving for a three week holiday to England; don't expect any more posts from me while I'm gone
