Protagonist Interpertation:
Turnali, an armed fighting man, meets with Milash (the owner of the Friendly Jord resturant). Milash seeks a capable man to investigate strangeness within Mazeerhan. Turnali accepts his offer and condition that it be completed in secret. As the setting is the cemetery, the "strangeness" seems like it could simply be the desecration of the grave of Milash's family. The positve reaction roll indicates the Turnali, would accept the condition to investigate the strangeness.
Strangeness:
Rolling the Cemetery Encounters, as possible cause of desecration, {1} -> 1d10 on the Demons subtable -> {7} Demon I (7HD, Heavy+S+H, 6' or fly 12', claws 1d6 x2 + bite 1d6, Resist Magic 50%, requires magic weapons to slay, see invisible, cause fear)
Consulting the TSRADND1eDMG's Appendix D, gives us: {This was a mistake, this is too much rolling}
Bat-Like Head
Crest
Wrinkeled
Elephant-like ears
Flat Nose
Sucker-Like Mouth
Bipedal Like
Rat-Like Torso
Fat, Narrow
Horse-Like Tail
Fecal-Smell
Scaled Skin
Gray-white Skin
Spiked-Back
Membrane-Like Wings
4 arms:Insect-Like Arms
All alike hands: Pincered hands
Webbed Legs
Rolls to be discarded for my sanity: Crest, Horse-Like Tail, Scaled Skin, Membrane-Like Wings, 4 arms:Insect-Like Arms
Demon I: A pale being looms, reeking of shit. A bat's head, absent eyes, ends in a circular open maw like that of a lamprey, from which saliva drips. The head is supported by an emaciated body with a pot-belly, the being's spine protruding through its back as spikes. The creature has 4 arms, each ending in pincers like that of a crab.
Creature Oracle Table: 2d6 for intelligent creatures: {5}: Comfort
Strangeness Interpretation:
The Demon I, to be name generated as Ydobeebor, {Anagram of Song and Artist, I am presently listening to: Butter - The Bloody Beetroots}, has crawled up from the underworld. He descerated one of the graves of Mashil's family because it was conveniently nearby. He dug up the grave and ate skeleton within the sarcophagus. There is now fresh dirt above the sarcophagus clearly showing disturbance, and Ydobeebor crawls out of the dirt on some nights to spread evil.
Story
Turnali investigates the Strangeness of the Cemetery
Turnali is already present at the Cemetery, so he has no need to find it.
Turnali, aware of the locations within the cemetery, chooses to go towards the undertakers office to inquire what they know of the grave disturbance.
Turnali knocks at their office, but is turned away by a guard posted outside. {intepretation, due to Turnali's scary appearance he is told to leave by a guard}.
Turnali, exhausting the options obvious to him, decides to simply wander the cemetery until nightfall and hopes another incident happens at night.
There are 3 hours left in the day, which because Turnali is not traveling across the city, but instead staying within a single location, would incur encounters at a halved rate, ie 9 rolls with each 1 indicating an encounter: 3 encounters rolled
Encounters
1st {6}: Conflict of {5}:Criminals/Workers + {6}:Merchantile -> {2}:Pick-pocket[unaffiliated] vs {5}: Landlord (Pick-pocket surprising the landlord, 30' away, Positive reaction roll) -> Turnali reacts positively
Encounter 1 Interpretation:
Turnali notices a shady looking man begin to follow a wealthier looking man. Turnali watches as the shady looking man sneaks up on the wealthier looking man and shakes him by the shoulders, scaring him as a joke. The two men laugh and turnali smiles to himself as he sees good friends.
2nd {3}: Insulted by {1}: Constables -> 11 Constables who [Laughs at] (no surprise, 100' away, hostile reaction roll) -> Turnali reacts with hostility
Encounter 2 Interpretation:
A band of 11 constables, walking through the cemetery on patrol see Turnali and begin to point at him and makes jokes at themselves about him. Turnali hears their jeers and grows angry. The constables (in light of their hostile reaction roll) seek to continue their mocking and approach him making fun of his wearing a sack over his head. Turnali looks at them, and decides to ignore their numbers and choose violence [Another hostile reaction roll from Turnali].
Constables hp: 2 1 1 1 3 4 3 1 4 4 2 6
Turnali approaches the men who square off and then attacks, (sweeping vs 3 due to the 3:1 HD ratio). The swipe of his hooked hand fails to strike any.
The constables drawing their batons in response, and two strike him in return, for 11 damage.
Turnali rolls successful morale and decides to continue fighting.
Turnali attacks, hitting and slaying 3 constables in a single blow. He is then surrounded by the remaining constables who beat him to death.
Turnali perishes in the cemetery, having slain 3 constables.
Aftermath
The surviving constables return to the Bells District and give a report of two events to their peers among the Northeast Constabulary:
1 A hook-handed man attacked them, killing 3 constables and was then beaten to death
2 A grave was desecrated in the cemetery
The Northeast Constabulary misremembers the information of a hook-handed man killing 3 constables and then being beaten to death, instead only remembering that a hook-handed man stalks the cemetery and has killed some constabels.
The Northeast Constabulary correctly remembers the information of grave desecration within the cemetery.
