Got to town, got frightened by the blood rain.

At the eastern towner see four dead bodies, two larger and two smaller

Smaller bodies are Bluish grey creatures with sharp teeth and pointed ears -- Jinxing gremlins

Fey that cause avalanches and curse items, usually hang in the mountains

Larger bodies are members of the city watch. Faces in agony and legs incredibly swollen and covered in snakebites

One guard still alive at least in the tower. Had to recite some of the practices for the season of ghosts in order to prove we weren't spirits. Entered the watchtower talked to Hai-Er Ha

The gremlins showed up just after midnight along with their trained snakes.

During the day near impossible fog, now the blood rain

Got a ladder feather token, shining xbow bolt, and a small cask of lantern oil

Attacked by spectral wolves at the Daikatsu shrine, but at least the rain stopped

Stopped by the thrice blessed inn, 20 or so people active in there

Then to Mitsuki Estate, 50+ refugees in there. Impromptu workshop spaces being set up, and medical stations.

Old Matsuki making plans, talking logistics.

Trying to make sure everyone is safe.

Has 4 main tasks:

Reestablish contact with Northridge. Downtown is extremely dangerous, so avoid it until we're ready. However need to meet with Granny Hu at the Exchange to unite forces

Reports that Ugly Cute was seen moving through the mist. If it is a guardian spirit need to

Contact elves at Silvermist Lodges to help track it down.

After first two, retake the bridge. Reports indicate that there's a large number of gremlins called Jinxing commanded by a large Buso -- tree creatures, eat the flesh of humanoids, avoids meat from any animal. Protectors of nature. This one is larger than most

Then retake downtown.
