Patrolling the Dospera

 Prexus was tasked by Arael, the leader of the Children of Medegia, to patrol around their safe house, a boarded up tap house located in the ruined northern section of Rel Astra, known as 'the Dospera'.
Recently, other members of the Children have been referring to the group as 'the boys' as in "We should have the 'the boys' look into the goblin problem." Likewise, as word of Arael's rescue from, and deaths of a group of Hell Knights spread. The Children of Medegia have been gaining in prominence. Members and non-members have been chalking 'CHILDREN OF MEDEGIA' around the working class middle of the city.
Prexus took his fellows, Hadrian - priest of Ra, Imgar the dwarf warrior, Kurgan the great sword wielding warrior, and two green members (both men: Rizzardo, a big Suel, and Vitti, a green haired thin fellow) on a night-time patrol of the Dospera. The mission was to clear out whatever haunts the streets of the city, and give the two green members a chance to see combat.
Torches were lit and the patrol began. After an hour of walking in the dark ruins of the city, the group heard the sound of a horse and wagon travelling in the dark.
The group uncloaked the lantern and shown it on the nocturnal traveller. It was a tall thin man, dressed in travelling clothes, with a staff across his lap, he sat atop an uncovered wagon, with two draft horses pulling it. It was odd to say the least for a fellow to bring a wagon through the unlit, rubble-strewn streets of the Dospera ruins. The group ringed the stranger and started to quiz him on where he was going after curfew. After some verbal evasion, the man bolted, after waving his hand and making the area magically dark. Hadrian cast a light spell, and it helped the group follow fast on his heels. Prexus uncovered a large wool blanket it the back of the wagon, and found three dead bodies under it. The stranger swore as Kurgan ran him down and struck a horrible blow with his great sword. The Stranger tried to strike back with his staff, but Imgar ran up and knocked him out.
Unconscious, the man was 6'4" and 170 lbs. Short blond hair. He also was found to have scaled pointed ears under his leather arming cap, and he seemed to have blond fur over much of his body. He wore a breast plate and carried his finely made staff for a weapon. He also bore a cloak pin depicting a leering fanged face. A symbol of something perhaps or just decorative.
The three bodies in the back hadn't been dead for long, perhaps a day. One was a teenage boy with part of his skull caved in. An old man, stripped to his breeches, without a mark upon him. Lastly a young woman whose throat had been torn out. None of the deaths seemed to have occurred in the wagon.
When the stranger was awakened and questioned about the dead bodies he claimed to be transporting the dead for burial, but when 'pressure' was applied he admitted that he sold the bodies to a man in the Dospera. When pressed for why this man would buy dead bodies, the stranger, who called himself 'the Peddler', claimed that the man's apprentice often sold meat to the market. He presumed the man, named Brom, cut up the dead bodies and sold the meat to the unsuspecting public. In return for this and the location of Brom's home/charnel house, the Peddler' would be free to go with his possessions. Though until the story was investigated the Peddler would be held in the Children of Medegia's safe house.
On the way back to the safe house, the group came across sounds of battle. Nearby in the ruins and sounds of the meaty smacking of something, mingled with grunts, and inhuman gurgling roars echoed across the broken and burned out ruins. The fighters in the group rushed forward, while Prexus and Hadrian stayed to watch their prisoner.
Kurgan and Imgar found an elf warrior with a long slender two handed sword, fighting a tentacled horror. The tentacles were coming from the ruined sub-basement of an old brick building which had collapsed. It was hard for the two warriors to engage the beast, since it's central body was 8 feet below ground level. Kurgan and the elf finally managed to slash at it;s meaty central body to kill the thing.
Introductions were in order then the beast lair was quickly looted of a number of low value coins. Prexus urged the group to move, lest the sounds of battle bring any out any other foul denizens.
