Recap
The morning of the 24th of Cal, 1329 Avard, Duckoron, Kalla

After dropping off the tithe to the temple of Whalin, the party sold off what extra treasure they had and did a bit of refitting before heading out back toward the ruins in the hills outside of Kalla. The Autumn day was bright and warm. Not too far from the city, the party encountered a flock of what appeared to be chickens. As they got closer the little birds attacked. The small creatures did not inflict much damage, but those hit with a bite attack were turned to stone for a short while. Quickly enough the cockatrices were defeated and plucked of any useful feathers before the party moved on.

The next day was quiet and the party enjoyed the warmth of the day. They reached the next two inns without incidence. On the third night of travel, the peace was broken by a blood curdling scream that drew the party out of their beds and into the late night street. The party was greeted by a sight straight out of horror stories. Frightened villagers ran screaming away from three evil looking humanoid figures approaching down the street. All three had a mean look to them, one had a wicked scar running down the length of the left side of his face, another still wore a hangman's noose about his throat, and the last had iron manacles with short lengths of chain dangling from his wrists. The party prepared themselves for battle and Gemini fired the first shot

It hit the scared one in the shoulder, not doing much damage. With an evil grin it fixed it's evil stare upon the halfling and the three monsters charged in with amazing speed, surprising the party. Mohrgs posses a greater speed and intelligence than other undead and quickly had the party on the defensive. Kai, Jacob and Thrug did all they could to soak up the damage and keep the monsters from their friends behind. Horus and Caleb launched fiery spell after fiery spell into the mohrgs while Gemini employed his bow to sting them. After much damage to the party, the undead monsters were defeated and the party was treated as heroes.

For the next two days, the party remained in the small village to rest and recover, but peace still eluded them for the time of darkness had once more arrived. Kai was in the room with Thrug when the change took him this time and roused the others as they chased after the half-orc gone dire rat out into the yard and up a tree. Unable to and with very little interest too get the large rat out of the tree, the party pulls guard over their friend all during the night and prepare themselves for the next night.

In the morning Thrug awakens naked and falls out of the tree, but now remembers what happened. The party has a plan, after Thrug changes once more, Horus would perform remove curse and free his friend of his affliction. After his change, Thrug was tied up and sat upon by Kai for good measure while Horus prayed over him. The first attempt failed, but Horus was successful. Thrug remained a dire rat for the rest of the night and acted his normal Thrug-ish self during the night. A hale and healthy party sets out in the morning.

XP AWARDED:
964 for the flock of cockatrices and 1929 for the three mohrg. TREASURE:
No treasure other than a few cockatrice feathers. And they maybe only considered treasure after playing Neverwinter Nights on the computer. I am not even sure the little feathers can be used as a spell component.

DM NOTES:
I didn't have the pertrification of the cockatrices last until dispelled, cuz I was afraid to turn the entire group into statuary. See, I can be a nice DM. But I was nice and evil with the mohrgs. Even I was a bit surprised by their speed. Wheee! Those were fun undead. I was kinda sad I didn't kill a player and get my very first undead minion. Guess I have to do it the old fashion one and dig up an already dead person instead of killing and using a fresh party member's corpse. And PCs are so much better grade corpses too.
