It was a pretty fucked up thing from a chaotic randumb character but the other character taking care of her and bonding with her was so touching for some reason.

I'll be sure to post them. We abandoned the campaign for a bit but I plan to go back to it someday.

Actually, fuck it, here's our complete campaign summary insofar as we've gotten. Note the long delay between Session 8 and Session 9 and note that it was not my doing. It was the player not wanting to face the consequences of his actions.

Pretty good story. Is this cpmaign still going?

>>52763245
Yeah, all of this happened in the last session actually.
Except for the causing the apocalypse part.

>Dark fantasy campaign about the party becoming the protectors of a small country surrounded by haunted forest
>The druid manages to heal the beasts that wander out of the forest, possessed and mutated, while the paladin becomes a folk hero for destroying the ones too far gone to save. The alchemist and bard work to improve the health and morale of the villages while studying to find out what the hell is going on with the forest.
>In the group's visits to the forest borders, they befriended a young shepherdess living alone out there, who became a recurring NPC. Her parents' house had a sacred spring nearby that the monsters didn't go near, so her home became a safe haven when the party needed to prepare for another expedition.
>A couple of minor sidequests involved helping look after her beloved flock for some minor bonuses, including a huge friendly ram that saved the group's butt on one occasion, and a rescue mission when she was falsely accused of consorting with the forest to keep herself and her sheep safe.
>The group gradually did find one of the villains behind the Forest's change, a sorcerer mucking around with the realm of the dead and throwing the living world into chaos.
>Several skirmishes ensued, but eventually the party put together a plan from information they'd gathered to ambush the sorcerer at his hideout deep in the forest and slay him
>Their night attack was met with a counter-ambush that nearly wiped the party, but they escaped with their lives. Realizing they'd been set up, they rushed back, thinking to reconvene at the sacred spring where it was safe and figure out what the hell was going on.
>The sacred spring was befouled when they got back.
>The farmhouse was burning.
>All of the sheep, including the ram that saved them, had been slaughtered and left to rot, leaving just the shepherdess crying by herself in the fields.

Things got very personal from there on out.
