After the fight with the vampires, the party sorely needed rest, and so they holed up in the Proud Home for the rest of the winter. The next spring, after the roads had cleared sufficiently to allow for travel, they left for the Inn of Bonne Jouissance. There, they met the Rain Scribe, who fills them in on what's been going on. Equanimious Slurp has goons wandering the whole area collecting taxes and generally making life miserable for the people of Perrin. No one knows where he is staying, but he has a minion who somehow took over Assez manor without a big fight. Most of his servants are at least part slime now, and it seems like his end goal might be to convert the whole town to oozemorphs. The group thanks him, and sets off for Perrin the next day.
On the way to Perrin, the gang encounters four men in the road. They
demand cash for "taxes," and turn belligerent when the gold is not forthcoming. As the party readies for attack, their foes transform their arms into weapons and start attacking. Their initial attacks are surprisingly effective, even on Barth, but the party's greater tactical abilities are sufficient to put them down and end the fight. Afterwards, it's clear that their foes had been infused with ooze, making them harder to damage precisely and enabling them to transform their arms into weapons.
